Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:


29 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 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit


14 have been arrested on drug-related charges


8 have been arrested for shoplifting


21 are currently defendants in lawsuits


84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year




Can you guess which organization this is?








Give up yet?








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 the US in line.

Seen it before, but I still like it. I think they spit one out for every Congress but the numbers don't change much. HMMMMMMM.

Big deal...

heard it before. all the more reason to make me dictator for life. I have a clean record.

Considering that the job these people have is stressful beyond what any of us can imagine (none of us here are politicians, I assume), morals go slack in favor of power. After all, you have to survive, and people's consciences in that instance can go AWOL.

Looks better then the average for the main body of the US population. This list has been floating around for three years at least.

*puts head in hands and shakes head*

WTF?

Unfortunately this doesn't circulate ENOUGH during election years. Maybe some of these so called informed voters" would realize that they've literally been voting for crooks.

Don't forget the 1 senator who ran for president on a segregationist platform and was a pretty miserable person in terms of civil rights who has been in Congress longer than many people in the country have been ALIVE.

WHO IN THE FUCK KEPT VOTING FOR HIM!

The same people who kept Helms and Byrd in office: Inbred Southern Rednecks.

Anyway, I have another Congress joke: If pro- is the opposite of con-, does that mean "Congress" is the opposite of "Progress"?

That makes sense!

Out of all the 500 CEOs whose companies are in the Fortune 500 :

25 had sex with a chicken
154 Had sexual relations with a member of congress
500 are crooked bastards
88 took candy from a baby
499 are fundies
300 belong to a $30,000+ per year golf club

Actually, the longer someone has been in office, the more powerful they become. Therefore, it is a HUGE advantage to vote for incumbants, since they have the ability to get things done for the state (tax breaks, military bases, and other federal spending).

I worked for a politician for 2 1/s years if that counts? And there is no excuse for such upstanding WELL PAID assholes to get into so much trouble.

How much is overlap? I seriously doubt every member of Congress is corrupt.

Where did these statistics come from? (especially the Fortune 500 stats... 25 had sex with a chicken? that reeks of bullshit to me)
