The difference between Congress and Hollywood

Sometimes it takes a world class comic to explain the difference between Congress and Hollywood. This is what Will Rogers had to say: 'Congress and Hollywood are a great deal alike in lots of respects. We make in Hollywood what we think to be two kinds of pictures: Comedy and Drama or sad ones. We call ours 'pictures' when they are turned out. Now the Capital in Washington, that's the biggest studio in the world. They call theirs 'laws'.

'What we think is drama sometimes is received by the audience as comedy.

'The uncertainty is about equal both places.

'The way to judge a good comedy is by how long it will last and have people talk about it.

'Congress has turned out some that have lived for years and people are still laughing about them.'

Some things never change!
