If you’ve ever wondered what is the difference between Congress and a circus, then have we got a story for you.
The following satire is a whimsical look at American politics from the viewpoint of a being from another planet. Readers are advised to not be eating or drinking anything while reading this post. Readers are also advised to hide their cats … just in case.
By the way, it is easy for natives of the USA to become clowns, because congressional elections take place every two years.
