    Congress: more popular than gonorrhea, less popular than a colonoscopy

    You just can't make this shit up.


    At least the American people like their Congress more than they like the ebola virus. But it was close.
    I don't argue to be right, I argue to be proven wrong. Because I'm aware that the collective intelligence of the community likely has more to offer to me by enlightening me, than I do to an individual by "winning" an argument with them.

    Apparently a quarter of Americans have a more positive view of ebola than Congress.

    Honestly guessing they're not sure what Ebola is.

    Gee, they almost take our nation over the brink of economic recession . . . multiple times might I add . . . because both sides refuse to compromise and work with the others like a bunch of grown-ass adults.

    And they wonder why their popularity is right now so fucking poor.

    These are the assholes who got our S&P rating downgraded.

    I got a good chuckle about the "grown-ass adults". You are completely true. What's really sad, is all these super old dudes (most are male, and wrinkly with white/gray hair) are acting like 5 year olds. Hell, I know a few 5-7 year olds with more sense than these "wizened old elders"...

    Well, it does have a silly name... for you know, being a dangerous virus and all.

    Not as funny (but sad) as telling someone they have Pokemon Syndrome though. It's an actual condition, though most doctors elect to never say the name and instead swamp the patient with medical jargon.

    Ebola outbreaks at least have the small virtue of ending quickly and thus are limited in the damage they can do. No such luck with Congress.

    Anything in my book is more popular and more liked than congress.

    I'm more surprised that there are people who like head lice.

    Congress falls between the flu and new York jets on the scale of terribleness for me, but the president falls between a pike up my ass
    And a predator drone on top of my house
    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Yeah it's kind of shocking, I don't know how they reason, wouldn't their popularity increase if they showed that they are rational and intelligent people who are willing to make a compromise at times for the good of the nation?
    The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
