Monkeys are way smarter than our Congress. If you get enough monkeys you eventually get Shakespeare. If you get enough Congressmen you still get nothing but flying poo.

There are viruses more intelligent than most congressmen. I have the unpleasant business of meeting them from time to time and you have competition between lawyers and congressment for lowest intelligence of any living organism. If you added up all the intelligence in DC you "might" be able to compete with legal brain-death. Luckily (or unluckily depending on your perspective), they are parasites completely capable of feeding off everyone around them, never having to use intelligence to function.

Politics is part of the animal kingdom also. This is might be a little 'over the top' implementation of the 'hostile take over' move that is used in business world.

I am not perfect but I try to be better than those before me. So those who come after me will be better than I am. -

Except that you don't. A few years ago someone actually managed to get grant money to test the hypothesis, :wtf: it turns out that monkeys have no interest in banging away at a typewriter keypad. After IIRC several monkey years of data exposure to the typewriters there were only a handful of letters typed in total.

Ironically, a few of those were accidentally substituted for congressional bills and adopted.
