Politics
as Usual - from
viewer Richard
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 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 consider 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 Dad has said.
Later
that night, he 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 sound asleep. Not wanting to
wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding
the door locked, he looks in the peephole 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 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."
