The horrible truth of a second term...read if you dare
Edited on Sun Oct-17-04 08:43 PM by mtnester
OK kids, get ready for Bushworld....

According to Bush, my husband and I, whose unemployment has run out, are to do the following...

Go back to college...ignore the electric, water, gas, and phone company, and also the mortgage company. Magically squeeze blood out of a turnip to cough up enough cash to educate ourselves better so we can find another career to work in. In the meantime, above all...DO NOT GET SICK....as we do not have an answer or plan for your lack of health care, but hey, after you get re-educated, you can get it through your new employer cause we are going to eliminate any chance you have to sue a doctor or drug company or ANY company, including Ford should they build that dang Pinto again. Sorry about your luck if you find work with an attorney.

We recommend you move to Florida as well, cause you don't need to pay for insurance there as we will make sure FEMA bails you out anytime you get storm damage, no matter if you built 2 inches off the water or put a mobile home in the flood plain of that dang river...you could also build your house on the side of a cliff in California..FEMA rules apply there too...now...take that money you are saving from not having to pay for insurance, and sock it away in your private Social Security fund. We trust you to make sure you put enough in there to take care of yourself forever, cause we sure won't.

You young kids, stop drinking that beer and socializing and start packing that money away double time, because your wages will NOT keep up with inflation, we are NEVER going to raise the minimum wage, we are going to keep on allowing companies to utilize non-documented illegals at a fraction of the minimum wage (you KNOW, we are really going to LOWER the minimum wage, since if those illegals can live on $2.00 an hour or less, you should be able to EASILY make due with $3.50 an hour), and we need every dime you make to pay our debt (your kid's money too...start putting in double for the ones you are going to have NOW). You can eat off the 99 cent meal at Wendy's every day, so it should only cost you about $6 a day to eat, so put the rest away. We trust you will put money away every day, we have confidence in you. Additionally, for those of you that make it back alive from your tour of duty, you will receive a bonus of $200.00 (we expect you to put that away also)

Once you turn 68, we want you all like good Patriots to turn yourselves in for self-termination...after all, you don't want to be a burden do you? Since we did away with Medicare and the like, we can't help you anyway, so do the right thing and step aside to let someone else work until they die. Plus, we KNOW you did not put enough money away to take care of yourself like we TOLD you to do.

Now get crackin everyone! Back to work! Education works!

OK, this was a pure work of fiction (maybe), no offense meant to those who live in California, Florida, or in mobile homes (or in flood plains or on cliffs), I just wanted everyone to try to get the drift of things should we see a 2nd term from this idiot. I left out the fact that they will drill for oil in Cleveland, discover Noah's Ark in the depths of the Grand Canyon, reinstate Handmaiden status, declare all GLBT enemy combatants, and create the super duper monster Hummer-Airstream as a new family car for those pesky errands. Now, everyone get out your aerosol cans, and on the count of three...SPRAY..Can you give me a hallelujah sister?

3. The pinto could have and would have been a great car IF
Ford hadn't been too cheap to let that gas tank slide by.

4. Friend of mine got burned up in one
The damages Ford awarded him set him up for life (SERIOUS dinero)...never mind the horrible scars he has for the rest of his life...

The irony of it was that he had just turned 16 and only had his license for a week when he was rear ended, low speed accident. He was lucky to get out alive.

6. Being burned alive has got to be a horrible thing; surviving it much worse
It's amazing how these stupid corporations try to save money by leaving out a screw here, or not putting a rubber liner in there, or whatever.

Ford eventually did fix the problem, but way too late. The Pinto could have been a great car that didn't cost an arm or a leg. Too bad Ford had to fuck it up.

5. Sad but true, our choice is so clear.
Luckily enough the majority of Americans see that.
