Don't forget the many compliments that Mark Twain had for our
Esteemed Publick Servants as well, back in the 19th century:

According to Clemens, he was himself briefly a Publick Servant along with
his brother Orion, in the Nevada Territory during the administration of
Territorial Governor James Nye. Sam and Orion supposedly cleared a fair bit
of money by levying a bogus "tax" on unsuspecting permit-seekers.

A lot hasnt changed.. Will Rogers was a man of the people, and if he
said something wise, the people listened, repeated it, and before long
Congress and the Great White Father knew that the people were
united behind this very wiley leader. They still cheated and lied and
stole, but at least there was someone there to keep the truth above
the horizon.

I dont trust much of anybody anymore. The news media lies politically
to advance their individual agenda. The Congress lies and does exactly
what it wants to, regardless of the people.

Hope is not totally lost, but it is fumbling with a roadmap.

A local talk radio show (mostly politics) in my area, every once in a
somebody will hit a button, a pre-recorded voice says,
Never Trust Nobody!

I don't trust politicians at all.I trust my little couch buddy doggy.
