I hear there's an opening to lead a department I once wanted abolished.
Can I have the job, please please please please?? I know we don't see eye to eye on matters that concern this department, and hiring me for it would seem strange and be unprecidented, but please please please can I have the job?
I can? Thank you!
I quit.

As long as you argue that the census should not be in the hands of the White House, but in commerce's hands, then I'll vote for you.
ReplyDeleteOh and that $600 cash stimulus, which didn't work so well last time, scrap that too.
“You’re getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything. But maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill, every month.” - Michelle Obama blasting G.W. Bush's stimulus of $600. She, of course, supports her husband's current plan of $600 as part of the most egregious bill in history.
Hard to argue against the Gov't giving me a check fo $600 (oh by the way, that's down to $400, thanks "Tax-Cut" Repub's), but the first one didn't do a damn thing, and neither will this one. Like giving a homeless man a dollar and thinking you just got him off the streets.
ReplyDeleteIt WILL help make a car payment so at least I still have somewhere to live for another month.
My biggest problem with the Stimulus issue is that those so opposed to it have yet to offer up a REAL second option.
One correction to what you wrote Ralph: The government isn't giving you $400; The government is giving you BACK $400. The government doesn't make money, it takes (and reallocates) money. Sometimes it even does this for good reason.
ReplyDeleteThe real answer to the problem is to stop the fraud. Stop the 1% loans to congressman while the rest of us pay far more: Stop the pork projects that get friends rich and only provide short-term jobs; Stop spending money we don't have!
Yes, I'm aware it's a "rebate" (refund) check.
ReplyDeleteNow that the Stimulus has passed, it's time for the corruption to begin. With all that money going to so many different places, there's sure to be people looking to line their own pockets with it. And local Gov'ts mishandling it. Good time to be a defense lawyer.
Evidently the corruption will be on hold for at least a few days. This Bill (I've heard it called the Generational Theft Act) was so important to pass that Obama broke another promise of allowing the entire bill on the Internet for 48 hours for all to read. So, the Bill had to be rushed through Congress - where not one person has admitted to actually reading the Billion dollar-per-page monstrosity. Then, the Bill had to printed overnight. Then ... nothing. Obama's on vacation. After his over-heated rhetoric he needed time off in Chicago and he'll sign the Bill on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteSo important this Bill was that Obama couldn't stick around to sign it. What a putz.
Sorry Dave. The Bill IS available online, I'm guessing for more than the 48 promised period of time BEFORE he signs it into law, since it was there all day Monday and he's not signing it until Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteAnd afer we had a a guy who spent 34% of his entire Presidency on Vacation, Bush-loving GOP'ers are in no position to throw stones at a little time off.
