WASHINGTON -- The U.S. House today passed a resolution condemning all previous Congresses for failing to condemn "any bad things that happened before this Congress was convened."

"The 109th Congress condemns in the strongest possible terms the refusal of the the first through 108th Congresses to condemn any and all actions found bad, immoral, unconscionable, confusing, irritating, or currently unfashionable by the members of this Congress or by each Congress's own contemporary standards," the resolution reads.

"We find that Congress has the power to discern universal moral truths that apply retroactively to all previous actions. Failure to use that power to display with affectation and abundant speechifying one's own moral superiority, regardless of the immediate or long-term consequences to the national interest, is in itself an immoral act."

Among the "bad stuff" Congress condemned its predecessors for not condeming: "Slavery, racism, bigotry, the Gilded Age, homophobia, sexism, lame Internet satire, Joe McCarthy, hurricanes, giant tarantulas, China, jocks who beat up chess club members, Ty Cobb, and mean people."
