What does politics mean?

I came across this joke today as I was watching a few clips from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It was left as a posted comment for one of the clips:

What politics mean -- A young boy asked his dad what politics meant. His dad thought for a minute, then, told the boy, “the best way to tell you is with an example.” Imagine I am the President, because I decide everything in this house. Your mom is the congress, because she supposed to run everything the house. Our housekeeper is the poor public who has to do everything every day so we can live comfortably. You are the intelligent-mind because you go to school to educate yourself. Your baby brother is the future generation because he is still an infant. Now, I want you think about this and tell me tomorrow what politics mean. The little boy woke up in the middle of the night by the cries of his baby brother. He went to check him out. He saw his baby brother had wet himself, was crying, and thrashing. He went to his parent’s bedroom to wake them up. His father was not there and his mom was in a very deep sleep that she wasn’t waking up to his calls. The little boy went to their housekeeper’s room to wake her up, but found his dad in her bed on top of her doing………..! He went back to his own room to sleep. The next morning his dad asked him: “Have you thought about politics since yesterday to tell me what it meant?” The boy replied, yes dad. Politics mean, “The President screws the public, while congress is in such a deep sleep that even the intelligent-mind was unable to wake up the congress to help the future generation out of a wet spot……”
