Guess the organization to which the following persons are members: 36 have been accused of spousal abuse; seven have been arrested for fraud; 19 have been accused of writing bad checks; 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupt at least two businesses; three have done time for assault; 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit; 19 have been arrested on drug-related charges; eight have been arrested for shoplifting; 21 currently are defendants in lawsuits; 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year.

Can you guess which organization I'm talking about?


Give up? It's the 535 members of Congress. This is the same group that cranks out the new laws that keep us in line.

1. Assuming these numbers are accurate

I wonder what the breakdown is between Rs and Ds...

2. Wow, statistically speaking, that's horrendous

You'd expect to find a group like that in a biker gang or the Mafia.

The only thing missing is prostitution and drug rings.

3. They may not be missing at all

They just weren't mentioned...
