Stimulus = How well can you beg?

No it won’t do any good, but I e-mailed the Three Stooges the following:

If you haven’t even read the Stimulus Bill you must vote NO on it at least until you have. Is that really too much to ask?

Here are Curly, Larry and Moe’s e-mail addresses. http://collins.senate.gov/public/continue.cfm?FuseAction=ContactSenatorCollins.Email&CFID=39113496&CFTOKEN=99427497http://snowe.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactSenatorSnowe.Emailhttp://specter.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm

But that’s only one thing that’s irritating me this morning. On Tuesday this week the Dear leader pinned his Dumbo sized ears back so they’d fit through the door of Air Force One and headed down to Ft. Meyers, Fl for a town hall meeting.

There he met the now famous moochers Henrietta Hughes and Julio Osegueda. Before them though came some unemployed guy who thought it’d be a good idea if the government guaranteed an unemployment wage that represented 100% of his working wage. Brilliant! Gee, I wonder why anyone would look for a job under those conditions. “Hmm, da gubment payin’ me da same money fo sittin’ here watchin’ Oprah as da boss pay me fo bustin’ my hump on the job. Sos I’m s’posed to be lookin’ fo a job - why?”

Then Henrietta got her big shot to beg at the feet of the Great Wizard Oz for a house with a kitchen and a small bath (or was it baf) room. Last came Julio who made up for his inability to speak clearly and articulately by being loud and excited. He’s studying Communications at a local collage. Apparently he hasn’t had the class on how to ask an articulate question without sounding like a buffoon class yet. That must come in the 400 level classes.

As near as I can tell Julio wants the Dear Leader to make sure he gets more benefits at his job with McDonald’s because he’s been there for 4 years. Well why not? If the Dear Leader can tell auto and bank execs how to run their companies why not McDonald’s?

This is creepy on so many levels. These people are not just asking “the government" to bail them out, they are asking that the President of the United States bail them out. And he took the bait. Henrietta got a house offer. Julio got a new job offer. The poor unemployed guy has to have gotten something by now. If it requires work though he might turn it down in the hopes that the Dear leader will accede to wish for 100% unemployment compensation.

Sometime back political hack and demagogue Dick Gephardt, in an effort to create class warfare and envy, whined about the "winners in life's lottery." Talk about the “winners of life’s lottery,” unemployed dude, Henrietta and Julio have struck the jackpot. They show up a town hall meeting to ask the president a question and instead end up begging that he use the powers of his office – not to better the lives of all Americans – to enhance their own individual lives. Stunning!

So this is how the stimulus is going to work. The Dear leader is going to embark on a series of cross country Queen for a Day tours. Hapless moochers will stand in line all day in the hope of getting into the meeting. If lucky enough to get in the hall, you’ll need some sort of The Price is Right gimmick, a t-shirt (preferably one that says “I (heart) the Dear Leader”), a sign or a funny hat, to catch the Dear leader’s attention so you can be called upon to determine if your ability to beg meets the high standards set by Henrietta and Julio. It'll be sort of like American Idol for people with no talent, no ambitions, no sense and dare I say it, no hope. Pathetic.
