Some election time humor for you

Given some conversations I have heard, this one comes to mind....

Once upon a time, living in a cotton field, was a rather large community of boll weevils. There happened to be in one weevil family two brothers. The first was rather lazy and spent a lot of time hanging out drinking beer and smoking. He got little or no exercise except for jumping to conclusions, watched TV a lot and generally didn't lift a finger all day. Predictably, he didn't do a lick of work. Why his parents put up with him is anyone's guess since he lived with them well into adulthood. Now, the second brother was studious, industrious, and thrifty, always looking for ways to better himself. He got lots of exercise, worked hard, saved money, went to college, and otherwise made his parents proud as punch, opening no fewer than three new businesses, writing 4 books, and did a successful break-out marathon on the book-signing and talk-show circuit. He had his sites set on the governor's mansion and he was only 28 years old (in weevil years)! He positively shown bright from among the weevil peoples.

So naturally the first of the two brothers was known among the insects of the field as the lesser of two weevils.
