President Clinton cited 'a profound lack of irie vibrations' as the main reason budget talks became dreadlocked this week. Congress and the President had been in negotiations since last October, but according to House officials, a common ground could not be reached due to 'a lack of positive riddims.' 'If only Ras Tafari were still with us,' Rep. Glen Browder (D-AL) said. 'He would have given us the wisdom to cut back on porkbarrel legislation and get the budget passed.' Sen. Al D'Amato (R-NY) added: 'Hopefully, we can reach some sort of bipartisan compromise and get this natty dreadlock resolved. Praise Jah.' After talks stalled again Monday, legislators tabled negotiations until next week, using the recess to get high.
