 Over the Fiscal Cliff
A few thousand years ago Moses said to the children of Israel, "pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."
Nearly 75 years ago, Franklin Roosevelt said "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel...this is the Promised Land."
Today Congress has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Pomised Land.
I wa so depressed last night thinking about Health Care plans....the economy....the war....lost jobs....savings....Social Security....retirement funds, etc......I called a Suicide Hotline.
I had to press 1 for English.
I was connected to a call center in Pakistan....I told them I was suicidal.
They got so excited and asked if I could drive a truck....
Folks, we are screwed.

 Re: Over the Fiscal Cliff
My answer to all of this is to just live smaller. Concentrate on my own house, neighborhood and city. These huge wheels turning which peons like me have no say in, sorry folks. Keeping it small in 2013...

 Re: Over the Fiscal Cliff
praising congress for "fixing" a mess that they made is like thanking a terrorist for freeing the hostages.

Quote: we may be goin' to Hell in a bucket, but at least we're enjoying the ride... so that's what they mean by bucket list.
