Ongoing criminal enterprise
Posted by Richard on September 16, 2005
Someone emailed this to me. I don’t know the source and can’t vouch for the reliability of the statistics, but it’s too good not to share:
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.

All hail snopes.com. They don’t necessarily say this is all a hoax, but point out that this was supposedly first written in 1998 or 1999, no actual names, sources, or other background information is provided. Congress is full of crooks and liars, but I’m not sold on this e-mail.
