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, I repeat, 71 can not 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?
NBA, or, NFL?
Neither, 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. You gotta pass this one on!
THEY JUST VOTED THEMSELVES $15,000 PER MONTH PENSION FOR LIFE AFTER SERVING ONE TERM IN CONGRESS!
Okay so that is one of those mass emails but if that's true that's funky AND $15,000 a month for life after just one term in congress??? Damn...now I know why the majority is poor!!!

Sounds good to me Carrie.....I remember this from a few years back. www.snopes.com/politics/crime/congress.aspThey do get more publicity than your average "Joe" when something like this happens but then, they should be setting examples also. Our kids are taught to respect (and even aspire to) these people.
