Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction:

Texas Democrats Flee State, Paralyze Legislature

...I guess, according to the house speaker in Texas, they all left their Holiday Inn rooms and went out to eat together at Denny's...

...seriously, if this was a plot in a movie, I would leave the theater because it's that retarded. Hmph. I don't know what else to say. Really, how can you make a joke about something this crazily ridiculous?
