I knew it was phony when I read the words "flashy hybrid car".

No. Such. Thing.

#3 Ummmm, guys? The e-mail is obviously "phoney" - i.e., written to make a point. The phrase "I know the e-mail's not real, but would that it were...." highlighted at the beginning gives a hint.

But apparently I was unclear - my small business friend forwarded the e-mail to me. I have no idea where it originated (and he probably doesn't either), but I think it makes a good point.

I hope it begins to happen for real to some of the leeches in this country. The screaming would be wondrous to behold - but I've got extra-strength earplugs. :-D

#7 Although the email may not be real, it nonetheless probably represents reality for a lot of families. I saw two young college students on Hannity the other night defending the people who were out busting up stuff in the streets and protesting at the G20 conference in Pittsburg. One of the two girls was a Ph.D. student and the other one either an undergrad or grad student. For two supposedly well-educated students, I've seldom seen such a blatant display of ignorance and naivete.

#8 I got the same email (or a version of it) a couple of months ago. Sad to say, there are several in my family who could well be the recipients of the sentiments expressed (the well is dry, look to your 'savior'), although they can't say they weren't warned.

#9 Shouldn't this filed under Fictional/Fantasy right wing crap? Or is that section full?

A real grandpa might say...no I have no money but you can have dinner with us if your hungry...call us anytime because we love and we've been through this during the great depression and we made it by helping each other when we had that Democrat for so many years....we still love no matter who you voted for.....

But this grandpa is a political nut who must choose sides rather than love his own offspring.

BTW...Who got us into this DEBT before Obama came along?

#10 Yes We Can!!!

(I see from the above post that the reports of irony's demise have been greatly exaggerated).
