You call this satire?

LIMBAUGH: This is what happens when you let the left run things. We�ve been beat about the head. There are hungry people everywhere. UNICEF got it all started. We�ve seen the babies with the extended tummies, the walking skeletons, told that kids can�t learn unless they�re fed. We�ve been guilted into pouring resources on the problem. And now, now, the latest crisis is that there is obesity among those who are impoverished. Because we are sympathetic, we are compassionate people, we have responded by letting our government literally feed these people to the point of obesity. At least here in America, didn�t teach them how to fish, we gave them the fish. Didn�t teach them how to butcher a � slaughter a cow to get the butter, we gave them the butter. The real bloat here, as we know, is in � is in government.

Mr. Limpy, look in the mirror for the real bloat.

Sunday Satire

In light of the breaking news this weekend with AIG and their now planning to pay millions in bonuses to the crooks of their corporation and the news from their lips that they have sent their taxpayer bailout money to overseas concerns, I thought this article too, too pertinent to ignore. Below are some excerpts. Full article can be read at

http://bible-prophecy-today.blogspot.com/2009/03/sunday-satire.html

American intelligence experts are analyzing a new terror video from the American International Group (AIG) in which the leader of the shadowy organization demands billions of dollars from the United States. "If we are not paid billions more in bonuses and corporate golf retreats, America will be made to suffer," the man threatens.

Reacting to the video, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano raised the nation's terror alert level to orange, meaning "taxpayers are about to get reamed again."

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner also released a response to AIG's latest demands, but intelligence experts said they would need several weeks to decipher Mr. Geithner's response.

A little satire about the bailout scam. sm
A sense of humor can help in stressful times.

From The Nation to the nation:

"Dear Lucky American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.

I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.

This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.

Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson"

love political satire
Jon Stewart is good. Also love the Cobert report. He has been pretty funny lately. Also, love Tina Fey's Palin inpersonation and I read that Palin thinks it is pretty funny too.
