Transcript:
Yes, Virginia, there is a difference between the two political parties. Republicans: Vote to screw unemployed people. Democrats: Vote to screw unemployed people. Then they whine about it. (Woman: Their fault! I didn't wanna!) Woman: Pay money. Man: But this DVD contains hours of Democrats on C-Span & MSNBC talking about how they wanna help "folks" like me.

Circa 1987, one Thanksgiving my moderately schizophrenic then-boyfriend and I threw a Thanksgiving dinner for 15-20 homeless people in our neighborhood. I did the cooking and Zeke built the fireplace and made the 4ml plastic tent so they could spend the night off the street for a change.
The guests were all polite and appreciative. This stuff ain’t rocket science and it ain’t sound bites, either. You have to just stop yapping and do it. Helps if you have help.

When are the “job creators” going to create good jobs here in America? When are they going to show their patriotism by doing so?

There is plenty of blame to go around. Bush knocked the economy out and his 1/2 black twin finished it off.
Clinton was 10X the president of either one, and that in itself is a sad, sad statement.
Please, America. When is amateur hour over?

WORK AS WE KNOW IT IS DESAPPEARING. The logic of automation says that while efficiency skyrockets, the amount of human workhours needed to keep it all running is decreasing. Part of our revolutionary demands will be 1. full employment, 2. tax the rich to pay for employment, and 3. 25 hours work for 40 hours pay. Neither the Demos nor the Repubs will support any of this, beholden as they are to the rulers. BTW, ALL these capitalist politicians at every level of government are RICH. Keep that in mind next time you vote for any of them. Right, Ted?
