Relaxed Martha Stewart

Could Martha Stewart be any more obsessive compulsive? I worry she'll explode one day from trying too hard to be perfect. So much money, so little happiness.

Workaholics

Just saw a statistic that we take less vacation than other developed countries and that many people are afraid of taking vacation because they might lose their job or look bad. Just another example of our kind, supportive society at work. All work and no play makes Jack a head case.

This Protestant work ethic gives us a lot of headaches and generates a lot of humorless workaholics who don't know how to connect on any other level other than work.

US Post Office Stamp Prices

Another sign the economy has tanked in the last seven years is how frequently stamp prices would go up. Remember the days when stamp prices didn't go up every year or six months?

The Rich Create Jobs

If this were true, we would have the most wonderful employment figures ever and the middle class would be doing great because the last seven years has created an explosion of these supposedly job-creating rich people. The key word in trickle down economics is trickle. You can't pay for expensive healthcare, energy, food, mortgage and gas with a trickle.

Failing Economy

When you weaken the middle class you weaken the economy. A country skewed toward helping only the rich tends to shaft everyone else. Then the experts are surprised by the tanking economy. Of course GM is tanking, nobody has the money to buy their cars.

The Incredible Shrinking Products

Have you noticed how we're paying the same or more at the supermarket for items that keep getting smaller? Just another sign of a great economy courtesy of the right wing.

Fear of Illegal Immigrants

Did you know many people are petrified of illegal immigrants? Then they crap in the toilets the illegal immigrants clean, eat the food the illegal immigrants cook and enjoy the lawns the illegal immigrants mow. Then they look the other way at the companies that are paying the illegal immigrants sub par wages to wash dishes. And who can ignore those huge lines of people clamoring for the jobs these illegals are taking away from our citizens? People are literally lined up to clean toilets. Yeah, those illegals are sure screwing everything up. If you are afraid of illegals you're either a racist or a douchebag or both.
