Woman: There are starving children in America who would love to eat webbed duck's feet!
I think the jellied duck’s web is intended as a respectful cultural reference to Doonesbury. Comics aren’t generally required to contain literal references and footnotes.
Some of can be blamed on Obama Heavy B. Some of it can be blamed on Bush, Clinton, and other past Presidents, some of it can be blamed on both parties, some of it can be blamed on the C.R.A., some of it can be blamed on the high cost of education some of it can be blamed on professors who are within the top 1%, some of it can be blamed on graduates who go to Wall Street rather than engineering, etc, etc.
If that’s your plan, then say goodbye to sense and thought, and say hello to surrendering your will to collective behavior and speak. You leftists do not have a plan, other than destruction.
SabrSteve, The CRA is a strawman, it didn’t have a damn thing to do with the financial crisis.80% of the banks involved in the crisis weren’t covered by the CRAThose that were covered fared better than those the didn’t.Loans made through the CRA had excellent repayment rates.The CRA myth is a lame excuse generated by the right wing propaganda apparatus out of sheer desperation. Ten minutes worth of research on the internet will show how pathetically weak an excuse it is.
@tmaguire99, senorbullwinkle, Kimberly GrantScoff if you want, see if I care. I saw their card with the amount they get. And Kimberly, I know of one man who lives BY HIMSELF that get’s $405 a month. LIke I said, NO ONE is going hungry! There’s a report out today (11/2/11) that a record 8% of Americans, that’s 45,800,000 people recieving food aid. And I could BET most of those people could work….but why should they when they can sit at home, do nothing, and be well fed by the government’s tit? Oh, and hey, look at who’s been in the White House for almost three years…..this record number is being hit on HIS watch….

Shame on you Ted Rall. The basic idea here is taken from Doonesbury from years ago without acknowledgment. How about coming up with your own material?

Americans wouldn’t eat webbed duck’s feet unless they were sugar-coated, deep fried, and came with a free MP3 download.
