Bush backs program to make Middle-class disappear
Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert’s spokesman released a statement that the Speaker will move Bush’s proposal to fund a National Academy of Science project to develop a way to make the Middle-class disappear. Bush, speaking before a mixed-group of CEOs, religious broadcasters and NRA advocates,said “when I say disappear, I mean you can’t see or hear them, they are gone!”

Bush feels confident that the project will be successful due the fact that the poor have been made totally invisible the last three years.

3. Those who are bone weary working 18 hour days just to eat
hardly have time to ponder the issues, organize dissent or protests.

5. I was thinking of Dead Brain as they also do this. Is funny.
Wait to you reach 70 and are sort of poor and a women. People do not think you can think any more. They start treating you like a child. In a way it is sort of funny

8. If they want to treat me like a child when I'm 70
They'd better come up with PARENTS to feed and house me. And I want toys every Christmas too. And birthday parties every April 30.

And no, I wouldn't mind going back to school.
