What is politics? (joke)

[BlondieK143]

Got this in a forward today.

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What are Politics?" Dad says, "Well, son, let me try to explain it this way:

1. I'm the head of the family, so call me The President.

2. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government.

3. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you The People.

4. The nanny, we'll call her The Working Class.

5. And your baby brother, we'll call him The Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense."

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what his dad had said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has badly soiled his diaper, so the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep.

Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he looks in the keyhole and finds his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand what politics means now."

The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."

The little boy replies, " The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."

Nevermind.

[elperromagico]

22. Ronald Reagan made me proud to never mind.

Apparently Ronald Reagan made us proud to do everything. It's a damned shame that people would rely so completely on one man to be anything.

[BlondieK143]

23. I'm not getting into the whole RR thing.

My mind will explode.

[elperromagico]

24. Ronald Reagan made you proud not to get into the whole RR thing.

[Champ]

11. I'd like to

But I'm just not funny enough, I did think but my creative juices just aren't flowing. It was(but that's just my opinion) and I'm sure many felt that way, just I happened to say it. I was just greeting you that's all. Now TV Funhouse is on in a couple hours, I laugh my ass everytime I see that so I'm staying up tonight. :D But I have big day and alot to get done tomorrow but I'll manage.

[BlondieK143]

13. You should sleep then.

Hope you have fun tomorrow then!

[Champ]

14. I would...

But I haven't seen this show since the end of December, I definately need the laugh. I'll try to fun but I'm signing up for the SAT, going to the mall to fill out some Apps, then going a few blocks from where I live to submit my forum to one of these placement services and sooo much more! You did anything fun lately?

[BlondieK143]

15. Sounds like fun.

Good luck. Not much, working my ass off and planning on my trip in two weeks.

[Champ]

16. I appreciate it

And good luck with everything in general including the whole trip and the whole long distance thing, hope it works out. At least you get chances to talk to him right? Myself... well I ran into someone who I haven't seen in a year, she's been a great friend for 5 or 6 years so who knows? :shrug:

[BlondieK143]

17. Good luck with it!

And thanks, I'm sure he and I will be great.
