When Daddy Wins the Lottery, I'll Run for the Senate

The other day, I had a nice conversation about politics with my dear old Dad. I told him that someday I would love to be a senator or congresswoman, as I think it would be a means for me to try to change things in a government that I believe is so fundamentally flawed.

We talked about the idiocy of politics and elections today, especially about how everyone is bought and sold to the highest bidder. I mentioned how I would love to be in the government, but I am neither a democrat nor a republican. I would also not be willing to compromise my beliefs for the interest groups who would basically finance my campaign.

That's when we came up with the brilliant idea. My parents play the lottery every week. As soon as they win, my father promised to finance my run for the Senate. If they every do win, I have every intention to hold him to it. =)
