Hey L.A.

Does the term Soylent Green mean anything to you?

Even better…

Use some of bailout money to bury these folks.

If this ain’t a “shovel ready” project, I don’t know what is.

At least it would give people some work.

‘Not to worry. This is just the linkage between Obama’s Economic, Climate and Medical Plans. People have lost their jobs, and the economy sucks so bad, that they can’t claim their loved ones who have died – and there’s going to be lots more who die under government health care. This serves all three policies. People die early, because govt. health care doesn’t work, so they don’t cost the system so much, and it reduced unemployment, PLUS, just plowing the bodies back into the dirt, or dumping them in the ocean, would be a good way of sequestering CARBON!

At least they didn't die in Iraq.   July 22nd, 2009 - 12:41 pm

This is a direct result of the Bush economy.

They can afford the crack and the booze. The big-screens they got during the hurricane. They are just waiting for the state to step up and plant them free of charge. Typical.

You’re wrong. These people committed suicide when they realized they screwed up by voting for Obama. They couldn’t bare the horror of knowing what they’ve done to their kids and elderly parents.

Don’t worry.. ACORN will still let them vote!

Senator Al Gore   July 22nd, 2009 - 7:14 pm

That’s right Hunter. No hanging chads when a dead democrat pulls the handle.

“This is the direct result of the Bush economy”…

I thought I heard it all –
Sir/Madam – there aren’t words to describe your utter and hopeless stupidity.

How can you not claim a family member? Does money really have anything to do with this
behavior?
