Political Scientists

Surely these must be the maddest of all mad scientists! I’ve heard the term “Political Science”: we all have, in college. But I’ve rarely heard them referred to as “Political Scientists” (!). Yes, today I saw some guy listed as such on a news program. And oh, the images it conjures up!

When I think of a political scientist, I think of a mad scientist creating politicians in a Petrie dish, and then waiting for them to get evil and sociopathic enough to unleash upon us. Maybe this is why we always get such egomaniacal power abusers to vote for. Just think of Dr. Frankenstein with a SuperPAC: that’s probably about right.
