"[T]he kids, like all kids, love the dog."

Dear Politicians,

Please stop insisting that your first priority is to us, the people.

I don't believe you. Anyone with an ounce of cynicism doesn't believe you. The only people who believe you are too drunk or stoned to actually perceive the world beyond two feet of themselves or dewy-eyed college students who still think one person will make a difference.

You want to know what would probably be more appealing to the cynics out there? Tell them that your first priority is to your family because if you have a family, and it seems that the vast majority of you do, they really should be your priority.

How can anyone argue with you getting a huge kickback from a chemical processing plant for your vote in opposition to stricter clean air rules if you use the cash (or at least say you used the cash) to send your kid to a university?

Nixon had Checkers; you can have college for your kid.

It makes you sound like you have real family values, which everyone, even the few commies out there, can support.

*hugs*

Ah Ticknart, you are a cynic after my own heart.

That makes me feel warmer.

'Course, it could be the sunburn.
