Legislative Stunt of Epic Proportions

There's a long history in Congress of coming up with creative names for pieces of legislation, and many of them even catch on--like the No Child Left Behind Act. But I think a proposal by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. to rename the budget reconciliation bill currently under debate in the Senate isn't likely to gain much support, especially from his colleagues in the Republican majority. Lautenberg wants to call the measure the Moral Disaster of Monumental Proportion Reconciliation Act. (Thanks to Karen R. for the tip.)
