Would you work for a company like this?

Haven't verified this yet, but still interesting:

Can you guess which organization this is? It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

You know, I'm usually the one pointing this out.

At any rate, research the folks running for office. We only have ourselves to blame for keeping folks that hold themselves above the law in office.

...especially as we have a president with I believe two drunk driving convictions who went AWOL in Vietnam after deferring to the National Guard to get out of potential combat status, and has been involved in well more than two failed business venturess.

It's one of those ironies of the american political system, that I first heard from Hunter S. Thompson, I believe - anyone who actually wants to be president probably shouldn't be allowed to run.

* ohio_eric could never work for Congress as he has publicly enjoyed himself previously and feels no reason to make excuses for it.









* ohio_eric also can not kiss nowhere near enough ass to get elected to anything.

The only proof he needed for the existance of God was music.

Without music, life would be a mistake.
