What's Next for "The Bishops"

Is it just me, or has the healthcare debate been hijacked by a Monty Python sketch? Who are these mysterious Catholic bishops and how is it that they've come to wield supreme legislative influence?

The Bishops! (as I will forever write their name) are hard at work at their annual relevance-reaffirming meeting in Baltimore where they draft their official positions on all manner of issues, from interfering in our healthcare options to interfering in our reproductive options (also known as interfering in our healthcare options). And then, if I have an accurate understanding of their parliamentary procedure, they pick up one of several red phones that has a direct link to a prominent Senator or Congressperson and they threaten to murder one hostage every minute until their collective position is drafted into legislation.

Here's what's next on the agenda for The Bishops!:
  • The re-redefining of marriage as being between a Catholic man and woman, thus closing up the atheist and protestant loophole
  • Legally requiring pet-owners to spay or neuter and christen their dogs and cats
  • Working with the USDA to create a Catholically-Raised certification for meat and poultry
  • Breaking ground on The Clinic of St. Mary the Fertile, the only Catholic church owned and operated fertility clinic (which is sanctified by God because it is for the express purpose of creating more Catholics)
  • Pre-production on The Exorcist 4-10
  • Installing a new Episcopal Czar
By the way, if you want to know which movies The Bishops! give two crosiers up to, you can check out all their movie reviews here. Spoiler Alert: Pirate Radio gets an O for morally offensive!
