Colorado Senator Proposes Bill to Change ‘Saturday’ to ‘Caturday’

Senator Korbi, a DemoCat from Colorado, has proposed legislation that would change the name of Saturday to “Caturday.”

“With so many Americans working second jobs on the weekend to make ends meet, it is imperative to remind them that those two days are for fun and relaxing,” says Erin Stackhouse, communications director for Sen. Korbi’s office. “The senator’s bill will do just that.”

However, critics from both parties have rebuked the bill, calling it a “self-serving farce.”

“With the national debt at $15 trillion and many Americans still out of work, this is not the kind of bill we should be spending valuable legislative time on,” a representative from House Speaker John Boehner’s office tells The Fluffington Post.

Boehner’s a buzzkill.
