Geeks vs. Pols
(With apologies to Laura Numeroff... and the mouse.)
When you give a geek a problem,
He'll explore all the possibilities,
When he has an elegant potential solution,
He'll want some funding to test it.
He'll want you to take him to Congress,
Where he'll stand up and ask for money to make the solution a reality.
The Senators he asks will play on the fears of their constituents,
And label his solution a "futures market in death,"
They'll call for his head and his job,
And then the geek really has a problem.
