Someone told me once that serving in elected office was one of the most noble thing one could do with their lives. I no more believe that than I believe Santa Claus is going to bring me a phaser and tricorder for Christmas this year.
However, since politicians really like to spend money and they really like themselves (how else could they look back at what they did last term and decide they deserve to be reelected???), they should build a monument to themselves. I think it should be placed in the center of Washington D.C. and be made out of bronze. I’m sure they’ll find a way to pay more per ounce for the bronze than we pay for ink jet printer ink.
I have included a picture of what I think the monument should look like and I even came up with a name…..POLITICIANS IN THEIR NATURAL STATE
