There it is, there's the answer. Here's why.....

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage hangs a banana on a string and a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes the attempt with the same result, all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his shock, all the other monkeys beat the snot out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked and beaten. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys who are beating him up have no idea why they are participating in the beating or why they were not permitted to climb the stairs in the first place. After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.

And that dear voters, is how Congress operates. No new monkey that we install in the House or Senate is allowed by the other monkeys to attempt to improve the system or change it in any way. It is precisely why we must unseat EVERY incumbent in the House and Senate this November 2, 2010 and install a whole new set of monkeys. There won't be another General Election until 2012, so if we don't do it now, we'll have to endure the antics of the monkeys we currently have for another two years.
