A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington DC. Sudden...ly, a man knocked on the window.
The driver asked, "What's going on?"
The man answered, "Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they're demanding a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gas and set them on fire. We're going from car to car, collecting donations."
"How much is everyone giving, on average?" asked the driver.
The man replied, "Roughly a gallon."

I would donate one of those crude fire starting tricks that I've learned Netflixing Man, Woman, Wild :D

Actually, no. We don't need to light a fire to fire Congress. The House side can get ousted every two years and the Senate has some up for ousting every election cycle also.

Congress really is in trouble. As Obama said on 60 minutes last night, when things aren't going well for people such as job availability, they tend to think their leaders suck (he didn't say that verbatim). It doesn't matter if Congress is doing what they think is right, they're gonna get blamed for 10 percent or so of us that want jobs not having jobs.

I want a better job - Who do I blame?

I'm sure as hell not blaming myself.

Is this thread a "threat", or just another joke?
