I received this in my E-Mail this pm. I have not been able to verify it. Is there anyway to check.

Can you imagine working for a company that has a
little more than 500 employees and has the following
statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse

* 7 have been arrested for fraud

* 19 have been accused of writing bad
checks

*117 have directly or indirectly
bankrupted at least 2 businesses

* 3 have done time for assault

* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad
credit

* 14 have been arrested on drug-related
charges

* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting

* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving
in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of
new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in
line.

Its about as reliable as any other email chain - and that one is a real venerable oldie, as those things go.

This is extremely humorous! I had exactly the same email forwarded to me by my sister! The only difference is that instead of members of United States Congress, it substituted "members of the Canadian Parliament"!

Wow... completely unbelievable. Let's start some sort of ineffective form of protest.
