ChatGPT Should Be Speaker of the House
Why Kevin McCarthy, an aging human male politician, is old and busted, and our new AI overlord ChatGPT is the new hotness.
In case you haven’t been paying attention, there’s a big contest going on now to see who’s going to fail America the hardest. And a man named Kevin McCarthy, a Congress critter from California, is trying his hardest to win that contest.
Mr. McCarthy desperately wants to become the Speaker of the House, which is a title that will give him the power to pound a gavel on a giant podium. He needs 218 votes in the House of Representatives, which will represent a majority, in order to become Speaker. However, he’s failed about eleven times now to secure the vote, which is apparently a record, and something that hasn’t happened since before the Civil War.
Evidently, too many people hate his guts to let him become Speaker. Not that that’s haulted Mr. McCarthy’s ambition. He shows no signs of giving up his mission until he gets his hand on that mighty gavel. And I for one applaud that kind of dedication.
