- Not at all. After reading P.J.'s book, you probably know more about
- U.S. civics than most Americans. I had my son read my copy and he
- has been giving his U.S. Civics teacher fits. "Parliament of Whores"
- should become required reading in High School.

- "The three branches of government number considerably more than three and are
- not, in any sense, "branches" since that would imply that there is something
- they are all attached to besides self-aggrandizement and our pocketbooks. I
- never determined how many sections there really are to the federal system. It
- probably can't be done. Government is not a machine with parts; it's an
- organism. When does an intestine quit being an intestine and start becoming
- as asshole?"
- "The members of Congress are busier going to and fro in the earth than I had
- expected. But the president, on close inspection, seems slightly unemployed.
- For nearly two generations, since the middle of the Great Depression, we've
- been hearing that to be president of the United States is almost more of a
- job than one man can handle. Yet consider some of the men who've held this
- job, and tell me how true this could be."
