Neither, it's the 435 members of Congress


Before anyone get's their panties in a wad, I have no basis for these statements... but if they are true, it's pretty funny and sad at the same time.

1) Not shocked if it is true. But, hey big government is the answer to all of our problems, right? Let's give this ragtag group more power! :(

National Champions: 2005, 2006, and 2007
Southern Conference Champions: 1986, 1987, 1991, 1995, 1999, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012

My opinion of Congress is about a low as it can go...but this particular "email" has been floating around since 1999...

Snopes says the facts and figures cannot be easily verified because names are never given...

While we know some of them are low-lifes...and politically I think lots of them suck...this one is hard to swallow...

...yeah...the tip off that it's fake is the "117 have either directly or indirectly bankrupted a business."

Seems too far-fetched...

You're right...117 seems way to dang low.
