It's Official
Cockroaches are now more popular than Congress!
We all knew that Congress was unpopular. But just HOW unpopular? This years poll from Public Policy Polling shows that Congress has only a 9 percent approval rating...and that 85 percent of those surveyed saw them in a negative light.
This year's poll has a twist. They tested approval of congress against some other things...and you might be surprised to find out what ended up being more popular than congress:
- Root Canals
- A colonoscopy
- NFL Replacement Refs
- Lice
- Traffic jams
- Used car salesmen
- Brussel Sprouts
- Nickelback
- ...and, of course, Cockroaches
So how did cockroaches end up being more popular than members of Congress? I think it's probably because if you're infested with cockroaches, at least you can call an exterminator. It's a lot harder to remove pests from Washington, DC.
The news isn't all bad for Congress. They're still more popular than Lindsey Lohan, playground bullies, telemarketers, The Kardashians, John Edwards, lobbyists, Fidel Castro, Gonorrhea, Ebola, Communism, North Korea, and meth labs.
