What, we're supposed to be happy about 600,000 new plutocrats and robber barons while that poor little girl that John Edwards supposedly met can't even afford to buy a coat?

Two Americas, people. Two. Americas.

Two Americas. You betcha. And I, for one, want to keep exploiting the poor and downtrodden proletariat by hiring them at every available opportunity, so I can maintain my lavish lifestyle (that's right, a three-car garage which houses my gas-guzzling SUV, my motorcycle, and my wife's Mitsubishi).

Sure Michael. That's really great. You're a really great guy, a fine human being. The rest of us are shit.

I have maybe the biggest lawn in my neighborhood, and I am tired of hiring lawn services to maintain it. (The Mexicans steal and, it appears, don't appreciate American-style extra-judicial justice, or at least the kind I administer to their sisters. But that's another story.)

Anyway, I have taken to mowing it myself, even though some young black fellows from nearby Paterson come by pushing their mowers and offer to mow for a reasonable price. But you know what? It's really more fun to see their little faces as I laugh and turn them away. Plus, think of the money I save! I can buy bottle rockets to fling at these little invaders!

I know I sould small and cheap, but I have had bad experiences hiring people, from police visits and private detectives snooping around as well as a barely thwarted attempt to get a warrant to dig up my new "vegetable garden"!

Just a word to the wise, in case any of the site millionaires were thinking of actually hiring poor people or something. Remember, they have relatives, and they seem to think I have had something to do with these disappearances.

The Deaniacs would have us believe we are the radicals and they are the moderates. The notion is so absurd they're not fooling anyone but themselves. For as Linclon said:

You can fool some of the conservatives some of the time,

and all of the Liberals all of the time,

but you can't fool all of the conservatives all of the time.
