Government Executive, January 8, 2013
Here’s your ridiculous poll of the day: Public Policy Polling recently asked people if they had a higher opinion of Congress or a long series of highly unpleasant or unpopular things. As it turns out, people really don’t like Congress. At all.
According to the survey, people prefer root canals and traffic jams to John Boehner and the clown college (no offense to clowns) that is the United States Congress. Below is a sad look at some awful things Americans like more than Congress:
- Root canals
- NFL Replacement refs
- Head lice
- Nickelback
- Colonoscopies
- Washington DC political pundits
- Carnies
- Traffic Jams
- Cockroaches
- Donald Trump
- France
- Genghis Khan
- Used-car salesmen
- Brussels Sprouts
But it’s not all bad news for Congress. Here are a few things Congress is more popular than:
- Telemarketers
- John Edwards
- The Kardashians
- Lobbyists
- North Korea
- The Ebola Virus
- Lindsay Lohan
- Fidel Castro
- Playground Bullies
- Meth Labs
- Communism
- And, of course, Gonorrhea
