From my inbox

My liberal dad keeps sending me conservative propaganda via email. It’s not like he is trying to keep me up to date on the latest maneuvers of the enemy. He really thinks this stuff is funny. Here’s the latest one he sent:

NBA OR NFL?
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 time for
assault
71, repeat 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 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last
year

Can you guess which organization this
is?


Give up
yet? . . . Scroll down,


Neither, it's the 535 members of the 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.

You gotta pass this one on!

I can’t tell if the premise of this joke is racist or not. It seems like, “everyone knows about the criminal element of THOSE people in the NFL and NBA. Wink wink.” And the facts it reports are not backed up. But the message is clear: “Politicians are criminals. Government doesn’t work.”

I could deal with the propaganda if the jokes were at least funny.
