Funny!

To our great chagrin, there is no 'intelligence test' for US politicians. ANY
idiot can be one. The Congress has more than it's fair share of 'em. It's the
only institution I can think of where a 'worker' doesn't actually have to know
anything to work there. He just has to get elected. Find enough like-minded (or
similarly brain-dead) folks to vote for you, and your in.

Ah, democracy--what a concept.
