This is remarkable. Not only is the Congress finally getting busy on something important (not that I expect much from them you understand), someone up there actually thought to call it “The Shield Act”. 🙂
“SHIELD”, as in, the top secret government program of “Avengers” fame. Now our government actually, really, in real life, has a bill called the SHIELD act. I’m thinking there are some Marvel fans on Capital Hill. I’m also thinking that I’m going to start working on my Iron Man suit, just in case they need me. 😉
