The Promised Land

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel " pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land".

Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, " Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the promised land".

Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels, and mortgaged the promised land.

I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, Savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc. . . that I called Lifeline, the suicide help line. I got a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal. They all got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...

Yeah I caught that one too, and don't forget about all the private sector jobs and growth created as a result of those projects. But he could also be referring to the future generations existing on the welfare state in which case LBJ should have been included.

Oh, fuck it's a a typical conk chain mail attempt at humor that gets the rhubs yuking yuking.
:ohno:
