You may have read about the Corbett's proposal to kick everyone off food stamps if they have more than $2,000 of assets (except some cars and a house). This satire is in response to that and other happenings, in tribute to the great satirist Jonathan Swift. Swift was an Irish minister and writer who was commenting upon the English attitude towards the poor Irish in the 1700s.

I hope you find it worth a click.

1. Good read, but you DO realize that Corbett's an asswipe who sold his soul years ago, right?

You'll be more successful expecting something good to come out of a runny pile of stinking dog shit in the middle of the sidewalk than from Corbett. No offense intended toward dog shit, mind you.

2. Oy!

I know it says that it is satire, but from what Corbett is doing, this is possibly what he does have in mind.
