Lessons from the farm.

At one time we separated milk and sold cream. We ended up with a lot of skim milk that we fed to calves and pigs. But there was so much of it that my brother decided on an experiment with the excess. He would pour 5 gallon pails of it into a cut down 30 gallon barrel in front of a young steer and it would drink until it swelled up like a woodtick. As time went on and it got older and bigger, he kept increasing the amount until it could consume truly prodigious amouonts. It got to be one very strange looking animal. The thing is, that when he was a little slow pouring the milk, it would get a look on its face very similar to what you see in the above seal. It was really put out and actually seemed to pout.

If that critter could have voted in the last presidential election, I have no doubt for whom it would have voted.

Here's my sob story. I am a CEO for Merril Lynch. I helped run my company into the ground through unethical pratices, but I got rich. I live in a mansion and make 20 million a year. Unfortunately, now that my company is bankrupt, I'd like you have the taxpayers foot the bill for my mistake. So could I have millions of dollars to keep the company up and running? And by the way, i have a 3 million dollar bonus due to me this year. Please make sure i get this. Actually, if i can't have the bonus, I am not sure
I will take the money for the company after all.

Oh sorry, i forgot, this is the kind of plea Republicans respond to best.

Wingnut your obamaprompter is broken.

ted, YOU are broken.

Wingnut if "broken" means that I don't depend on the government to support me and don't consider ANY President as a God,then Hell yeah I'm broken!!

Let's search for feel-bad stories that make us miserable about being Americans.

Hmm.

I remember that in Reagan's time, that 'bad' would be 'good' and that 'miserable' would be 'proud'. Look what The Obamnifier has done to our self respect, in his hunger for political gain.

One word: P A T H E T I C.

Funny, the only ones I've seen crying like infants since Nov. 4, 2008 are wingnuts ;-)

1. Wingnut, please. You're just sticking to the tired old stereotype "All Republicans are evil corporate boogeymen".
2. In what alternate reality is that, Joe? The majority of the conservatives I've seen since that time are unhappy, but generally willing to weather through it as the loyal opposition. Compare that to the liberals, which in the elections depending on the outcome, tend to be either really bad losers ("WAAAAH!WAAAAAH! ELECTION FRAUD! WAAAAAAAH!"), or really bad winners ("Obama won, losers! Now we're in charge, and all you redneck Republicans are going to pay!").

Back on topic, this reminds me of what went on shortly before Obama's DNC sppech in Denver. a bunch of "Regular people" were on the stage, wailing about their alleged woes to gain the audience's sympathies. However, a well- taken photo at the scene reveals that they were all reading off teleprompters!

Here's my sob story. It's a real heartbreaker:

We moved into our house in 1995 with 2 kids and one on the way. In 1999 my husband quit his job in anticipation of a new one that didn't pan out. He was unemployed for about a year. He and a friend started an internet business in 2000 which made about 16,000 the first year, split between the two of them.

We scrimped and lived off savings, but always paid our mortgage on time. Sacrifices were made. We didn't go out to eat, a lot...the kids didn't wear designer clothes or have expensive electronic toys, but we always paid our mortgage on time. I had another child in 1998, and another in 2000, and another in 2003. I stayed home, and took care of their needs, while my husband's business thrived. We were able to pay off the entire mortgage in 2007.

I used be proud of that accomplishment. But now I realize we were chumps for not living beyond our means, like the people who are being bailed out did, and will continue to do.

Joe the plumber, they cry their heads off everyday over at DemocraticUnderground. People over there can't find jobs because they have lousy, lazy attitudes, and consequently can't pay their bills and have collectors calling all the time, and it's just awful. They never think of unintended consequences and so can't think contingently. Everything blows up in their faces. Typical moonbats.

NiceDeb, of course you know you're not a chump. You guys are America's best engine.

Hey, I tried the youtube link sponsored by Obama. Amazingly enough, ALL of the posts are supportive--and censored!! Only those that agree get their posts listed. Freedom of speech and transparency are dead!

Have you ever heard the new version of aTHE GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANTS?

Hey Adam, you're complaining about somebody using the "tired old stereotype" wingnut on a site called "Moonbattery"?

If you're looking for intellectual debate, this isn't the place to be. This site is based on hatred and stereotypes. So... up yours WINGNUT :-P
