A little boy goes to his Dad and asks, "What is politics?" Dad says,
"Well son, let me try to explain it this way. I'm the breadwinner of
the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she's the
administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here
to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The Nanny,
we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call
him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense."

So, the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad his said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to
check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So
the little boy goes to his Parents' room and finds his Mother sound
asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the Nanny's room. Finding
the door locked, he peeks through the keyhole and sees his father in bed
with the Nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his Father, "Dad, I think I
understand the concept of politics now." The Father says, "Good, son,
tell me in your own words what you think politics is about". The little
boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the
Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored, And the Future
is in deep ****."

Freaky Gandalf, I just got this in the post today from the UK Quake mailing list :-)

Reads a little differently.

Definition Of Politics

Son: Dad, I have a special report for school. Can I ask you a question?
Dad: Sure son, what's the question?
Son: What is politics?

Dad: Well son, let's take our home for example. I am the wage earner,
so let's call me the management. Your mother is the administrator of
the money, so let's call her the government. We take care of you and
your needs, so let's call you the people. We'll call the maid the
working class and your baby brother the future. Understand?

Son: I'm not really sure dad, I'll have to think about it.

That night, the boy is awakened by his baby brother's crying, so he went
to see what was wrong. Discovering that the baby had a heavily soiled
nappy, the boy went to his parent's room and found his mother fast
asleep.

He than went to the maid's room, where, peeking through the keyhole, he
saw his father in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went totally
unheard. The boy went back to his room and went to sleep.

The next morning...

Son: Dad, I think I understand politics.
Dad: That's great son, explain it to me in your own words.
Son: While the management is screwing the working class, the government
is fast asleep, the people are being completely ignored and the future
is full of ****.
