....but they are damn funny:

Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can. ~ Mark Twain

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. ~ Mark Twain

The taxpayers are sending congressmen on expensive trips abroad. It might be worth it except they keep coming back! ~ Will Rogers

This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer. ~ Will Rogers

With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law, and every time they make a law it's a joke. ~ Will Rogers

The only way to get elected to Congress is to raise a bunch of campaign money, and pretty much the only way to do that is to already be a member of Congress. ~ Dave Barry

Congress, after years of stalling, finally got around to clearing the way for informal discussions that might lead to possible formal talks that could potentially produce some kind of tentative agreements. ~ Dave Barry

Congress shall also create a tax code weighing more than the combined poundage of the largest member of the House and the largest member of the Senate, plus a standard musk ox.

The question is: What can we, as citizens, do to reform our tax system? As you know, under our three-branch system of government, the tax laws are created by: Satan. But he works through the Congress, so that's where we must focus our efforts.

Here's my proposal, which is based on the TV show "Survivor": We put the entire Congress on an island. All the food on this island is locked inside a vault, which can be opened only by an ordinary American taxpayer named Bob. Every day, the congresspersons are given a section of the Tax Code, which they must rewrite so that Bob can understand it. If he can, he lets them eat that day; if he can't, he doesn't.

Or, he can give them food either way. It doesn't matter. The main thing is, we never let them off the island. ~ Dave Barry

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets. ~ Will Rogers

2. Congress bashing often plays into the Repug as dictator crowd.

Who made the government bigger and created pseudo jobs for his wing nut constituency?
