I got Himmler and Goebbels mixed up, so what? Either way, you guyz would have spent 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, etc. negotiating with them, right? They would have been over here in 1946 frying my little five year old ass, and you'd still be negotiating with them, right? Maureen would be negotiating with them even now; she'd exchange information with them about some swarthy types she spotted in Limerick in exchange, for a couple bottles of brandy, right?

Lucky for you, both my father and stepfather fought them, and I'm still here to annoy you, right?

Moyers might as well be called "The Minister Of Enlightenment" over there at PBS,

Now, can you please explain why they always drag out Deepockets Chopra at pledge time and never show their usual shows when they are asking for money?

Jebbie, are you a Jeddai Knight or do you also "work" at Streets and San? Did you hear about the federal agency where quite a few of the top administrators pulling down six figures a year were spending at least a third of their time viewing porn on their desk tops while at work? Is that where all this Schtimulous moola should be going, sir? Can't they just economically install the blocking software everybody in bidness uses? Maybe those people could get some of the new schtimulous money jobs helping out at day care centers and grade schools.

Ya think?

Totally Bwase, I mean, like, you're so totally, like, kool, it's like a great privilege to be like even noticed by such a like I mean like wise person, who has all the libral talking points down pat. Will you get a good government job under the Schtimulous Pwan which will schtimulate the economy too, lad?

And what's so terrible about accordions? Don't you know how hard it is to play the accordion and what wonderful fun it is to polka with some cute little bouncy girl named Olga (or in Glennn's case, some cute little bouncy boy named Rodrigo)?

Seriously our local business weekly (Crains) listed the biggest employers and it was shocking. City and county employs about twice as many people as the top fifteen corporations combined. Pretty soon, this schtimulous will have everybody in some goobermint job. You know that about 1/3 of all government workers do next to nothing (like dose streets and san guyz), about a 1/3 do very little (when they are not calling in sick), and about 1/3 (like me when I had a government job) actually work as hard and as well as anybody else. If you sluff off at a McDonald't the manager tells you to not bother coming in the next day. If you sluff off at streets and san, the manager asks you how you liked the Sox game, because he was there too.

So, seriously, do you brilliant saloniks really think that about a trillion dollars, mostly thrown at more governments programs and jobs is gonna really help the economy? Do you REALLY think this pile of rubbish our Congressmen are cooking up is gonna help, and I don't mean help THEM, I mean help those of us who work for a living?

I think things could easily go from bad to worse.

I know just how you feel, dude.

When my ex left me, I got to the point where I accepted it, and I told her, "You know, I think you are doing me a big favor."

@Kitt:

Pay attention, this is really going to get good here!

So, in less than 2 years, after I found my lady love for life, she started stalking me.

So, since I promised to be a gentleman, I'd meet her for lunch and she would apologize for messing around (because she was and still is a neurotic, narcissistic witch).

She'd say she didn't mean to hurt me, and she just would say, she didn't mean to hurt me on and on like that. I'm sure Clinton did not mean to hurt Hillary. She was just otherwise occupied when he had to get his rocks off.

I had several lunches with her like this. I would always tell her that everything works out for the best, and I picked up the check for each and every one of these predictable lunches, even tho it was she who always had the big money, and, during this time, my relationship with my lady true just got deeper and deeper, because, I guess, we were meant for each other.

She even tried one more time after we got married, but stopped after our son was born.

And, this is the truth.

It is also the truth that when the goobermint employs more people than the private sector, we are really going to have a problem.

By then, taxes will be so high that there's nobody and nothing left to tax.

People will be pushing wheel barrows full of cash to buy a quart or two of milk.

And, some new Obaba will be there to lead us to the promised land.

@omooex: See, it is not too late for you, even you, man. You can get a real life too.

Even you can stop expecting some big gooberemint to solve alla your problems and everybody else's.

You can support yourself through your own work and your own steadfastness.

You do not need that job at Streets and San.

There must be some productive thing you can do and get paid for.

OK?

No wonder I sensed you were not at all as bad as the libral rhetoric which has brainwashed you.

My lady love is ENGLISH, and we have relatives who perished fighting the Nazis over the skies of Britain.

Can I send you a reading list?
