Avast ye, me hearties! Congress be settin' sail to pass a wee stopgap coinin' bill for Cap'n Biden, savin' us from a dreaded shutdown.

Arrr! The Senate be settin' a vote at midday, and the scallywags in the House be claimin' they'll be actin' on Thursday evening, a tad past 24 hours 'fore the gold doubloons run out for a few government agencies.
Arr, me hearties! Gather round and listen up, for I have news from the landlubbers in the Senate and the House of Representatives. 'Tis a tale of great urgency, as they be scurrying to vote on a matter of utmost importance!The Senate, me mateys, had a grand plan to cast their vote at midday. But the House leaders, a cheeky bunch they be, announced that they would wait till Thursday evening to make their move. Aye, just a little over 24 hours before the funding for a small bunch of government agencies would be running out!
Now, ye may be wonderin' what be the big fuss about this whole situation. Well, me hearties, let me enlighten ye. Ye see, when funding for these government agencies lapses, chaos ensues! The government may come to a halt, like a ship stuck in doldrums, and that be no good for anyone.
But fret not, for I have me suspicions this be all part of their grand scheme! Methinks these politicians be playin' a game of cat and mouse, tryin' to see who blinks first. 'Tis a battle of wits, a race against time, to prove who be the mightiest in the halls of power.
Oh, but I do wonder what be goin' on in their heads, these politicians. 'Twas their duty to sort out this mess long before the eleventh hour. Yet here they be, scurrying about like a bunch of landlubbers who've lost their way.
So, me hearties, mark me words. Keep an eye on these Senate scallywags and House leaders. Watch as they dance their merry jig and cast their votes. 'Tis a spectacle of political theater, a comedy of errors, that would make even the finest pirate chuckle.
But fear not, for in the end, they shall find a way to keep the government afloat. 'Tis their duty, after all, to keep the ship sailin' smoothly. Until then, let us enjoy this tale of political shenanigans and hope that they learn a lesson or two from their own folly.
