NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WASHINGTON POLITICS! (via email)

[TomT]

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns
for the various groups of animals.
 
We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, aSchool of fish
and a Gaggle of geese.
 
However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows,(as well as
their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably
because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.
 
Now consider a group of Baboons.
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive
and least intelligent of ALL primates.  And what is the proper collective noun for
a group of Baboons?  Believe it or not ....... a Congress!
 
I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!

Yes like the Republicans and Democrats refuseing to move forward and trying to shutdown the Government.
The closing of National Parks, shuting down the Postal Service, and threatening to withhold Social Security checks.

Idiots come in all political parties, but whatever their idiology, the country must come first!

Kill em all and let GOD sort it out. Repeat as often as needed. I need to raise my debt ceiling. I need to increase my pay. I need three houses. I need 2 or 3 young good looking girl friends. Now i need more money to support new girlfriends and throw more partys. And yet more money to feed and clothe new girlfriends. Oh wait-i ain't a politician. I need to learn how to live within my means. Living within ones means. Yeah-sumpin the professinal $hitheads in d c will NEVER understand. And yet some how some way they seem to get reelected when they run for office. Ain't life grand. RIDE SAFE.
