irony: n. i-ron-y def'n:
Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.
An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity.
I recieved this forward today, and I am currently doing some research on the factual basis of it, but I just thought I would post it. And all my friends wonder why I do not vote, and have no faith in the American "government", because I don't think we truly have any control anymore.
Think about this group of people, and what they represent.
- 36 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 jail time for assault.
- 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit rating.
- 14 have been arrested for drug-related charges.
- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting.
- 21 are currently defendants in multiple lawsuits.
- 84 have been arrested for drunk driving within the last year.
Is this the NFL? The NBA?
Nope, its the 535 members of the United States Congress. The people that ratify laws and set poilcy for our country. Food for thought.
