[rec.humor.funny] Congress does the right thing

ingram@u.washington.edu (Douglas Ingram) (05/17/91)

	While visiting the library the other day, I stumbled across
an old issue of "Harper's Weekly" from last year (Feb 1990?), and I
saw this series of statistics in their monthly Harper's Index feature:

	Number of times the phrase "Do the right thing" has appeared in the
Congressional Record since the release of Spike Lee's movie:  53

	Number of times "Do the right thing" has been used in reference
to the Congressional pay raise:  16

	Number of times the phrase has been used in reference to
racial issues:  1
