Declare Yourself A Demopublican...

a little boy asks his dad, "what is politics?"
his dad says, "well son, let me try to explain it this way...
i am the head of the family, so you could call me the 'president.'
your mother is the administrator of the money, so we could call her 'the government.'
we are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you 'the people.'
your nanny, we will consider her 'the working class.'
and your baby brother, we will 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 explained.
later that night, the young boy hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. he finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
so the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep. not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees 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 the concept of politics 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."
it's funny where we find the truth. 'from the mouth of babes' if this is true...
remember:
(the 'explanation blog' is taking longer than expected, but i promise it'll be worth the wait!)

Love this!
from the mouthes of babes... remember the story about the vice president george clinton? (who by the way died in office, useless knowledge)... i lost a bet today. bill clinton's brother is ROGER, george clinton is the funk/soul singer with the parliament funkadelic... thank god it was only a quarter!
That totally sucks! I could have SWORN it was George. It's a good thing I didn't have to tell my son that one as well...I really would have looked stupid!
