House Bill Allows Americans To Have Cake, Eat It
Rep. Rick Renzi awaits the final vote of his bill to allow Americans to commence with eating their cake.
House Bill Allows Americans To Have Cake, Eat It

WASHINGTON (CAP) - Today the U.S. House of Representatives approved legislation that would make it legal for American citizens to have their cake as well as eat it. Proponents of the bill are calling it "a great day for cake lovers."

"I like having cake," said Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ) who sponsored H.R. 2480, "but I also like eating cake. Americans are a priveleged people. Why can't we have both? I say we can, and we should."

Opponents of the bill say this only serves to send a message to a world that already views the U.S. as "holier than thou." President Bush has denied the accusation, saying he's simply hoping to provide Republican candidates a pre-election platform to lead them to victory on November 4th.

"Listen, I'm not a stay the course kinda guy," said President Bush. "I mean, who wants to have a nice piece of cake and not be able to eat it? Terrorists do, that's who. Are you a terrorist? I'm not a terrorist: I like cake."

Passed in 1910, the Mann-Elkins Cake Act was originally meant as a slap in the face to then President William Howard Taft, an avid cake lover, by a liberal Congress that did not agree with his conservative agenda. Taft's wife Helen was an award winning baker, and historians say he was completely disheartened when the law was passed and he was forced to have her cakes, but not eat them.

"I think old W.H. Taft would be proud," said Renzi. "Proud, and full of cake!"

The bill now proceeds to the Senate, where it is expected that Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy may try to eat the piece of paper on which it is written.
