I do not kiss ass.  And there&#039;s a helluva lot more going on than kissing.]]></description>

I&#039;m glad they&#039;re not true, but they are funny.

Ric:
&lt;blockquote&gt;The fact that we read them and think them credible tells us what we really think of the collection of clowns we call Congress&lt;/blockquote&gt;
