You are welcome Josh... Seeing this is a politics thread, I thought that introducing the phrase "the result of extra-pair paternity (EPP)" might be of use to the members of the political fraternity who often seem to get caught up trying to explain away their own experiences of EPP ;-) They can explain to their constituents that even the birds do it....and get away with it...

Just had to post this, thinking about the Obama health care plan, maybe someone else will get a good laugh out of it also. thejokejukebox.com In the beginning there was a plan. Then came the assumptions. The plan was without substance. The assumptions were without form. Darkness was upon the face of the workers. And they spoke amongst themselves saying: "It is a crock of shit and it stinketh!" And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said: "It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odour thereof!" And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying: "It is a container of excrement and it is very strong, Such that none may abide by it!" And the Managers went unto the Management Committee saying: "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide its strength!" And the Management Committee spoke amongst itself saying unto one another: "It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong!" And the Management Committee gave counsel unto the Vice Presidents saying unto them: "It promotes growth and it is very powerful!" And the Vice Presidents went unto the President saying unto him: "This new plan will activily promote the growth and vigour of the company with powerful effects!" And the President looked upon the plan and saw that it was good. And so the plan became policy. And that's how shit happens.
