Be proud of the US Congress
Can you imagine working for a company that has a little More than 500 employees and has the following statistics:



(It must be the NBA.)



36 have been accused of spousal abuse;



7 have been arrested for fraud;



19 have been accused of writing bad checks;



117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses;



3 have done time for assault;



71, repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit;



14 have been arrested on drug charges;



8 have been arrested for shoplifting;



21 currently are defendants in lawsuits; and,



84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year.



Can you guess which organization this is?



Give up yet? Scroll down, citizen!




IT'S THE 535 MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS.

The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

1. Remind me in a couple of years.
I really should look into politics as a future career goal. I think I'd fit right in.
