Lately I have realized why we have to have lobbyists. Those gomers we keep electing mostly don't know ANYTHING except how to raise money and talk people into voting for them.

The more you know about how our government works the more depressed you get.

When you get old enough, you really appreciate the wisdom behind the proverb, 'Ignorance about how our government works is bliss'.

If you have to ask it means you're not in the club...

What club is that, Grung E Gene? Club Fed?

As George Carlin said, "It’s a big club, and you aint in it. It's the same club they use to beat you over the head with all day long..."

This must be the same club Groucho Marx spoke of: "I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member."
