You Don’t Have to Have Brains to Be the Boss in Congress

How a Small Minority Controls Congress

In the early days of human evolution, after our ancestors came out of the trees and started walking upright on the ground, there was a discussion among the different parts of the body about who was going to be boss.

First, the brain spoke up and said, “I have all the knowledge, the foresight and all information from all the body parts come to me. I should be the boss.”

Second, the legs spoke and said, “I take us everywhere we go and without me, we couldn’t move around and get food and water. I should be the boss.”

Then the stomach spoke up and said, “I digest all the food that gives us energy to live, move around and do everything. I should be the boss.”

Next, the eyes spoke and said, “I can see everything that goes on and we would just be bumbling around in the dark if it weren’t for me. I should be the boss.”

Then the asshole spoke. “Without me, we would get all stopped up and our legs would wobble, the brain would have a headache, the eyes would be cloudy, and the stomach would be backed up, unable to eat. I should be the boss.”

All the other body parts laughed and joked about how stupid that would be.

So, the asshole decided to show them. It went on strike and didn’t let anything out. The other parts of the body broke down and nothing could get down, so they all got together and decided to make the asshole the boss.

It just goes to show you, that you don’t have to have brains to be the boss; Just be an asshole.

And that’s how just a few people, sometimes even just one person , can control an institution like the U.S. Congress and the House of Representatives.
