I Think...

Posted: 07/15/09 03:47 PM ET

That if you are poor, the government should pay for your education, medical care, housing, clothing, and food.

That the richest people in the country should pay for these things. Just like the rich have given themselves tax cuts so that they can have more money, now it is time to take money from them for those who are unemployed and in need because of the wealthy and their titanic avarice. And by the way, don't say 'socialist', say what you mean. Say 'communist' so I can say blow me.

We should be weary of ignorant people getting headlines. If Joe is really a plumber, then fix my toilet.

We ignore racism. There is no difference between Senator Sessions and Senator Helms except one is dead from the neck up and one is completely dead. Using the word "uppity" in reference to a person of color after 1960 should disqualify you from serving in Congress.

Fox News is fair and balanced like a sunburned drunk getting out of a roller coaster is fair and balanced.

That I don't care if baseball players use steroids. If Ty Cobb played today, he'd be shooting up during the seventh inning stretch.

If a girl from a middle class family dates seven guys in seven years,she earns a bad rep. If she is Kate Hudson....

That the doctor who helps a septuagenarian woman get pregnant should lose his or her license.

That the guy who blocked the inner city kids from swimming in his club pool should have to tell them to their faces what he meant when he said they would "change the complexion" of his precious water.

That the next nominee for the Supreme Court should be a gangster rapper with a spotless criminal record and an oustanding legal career. I just want to see what the Republicans will ask him.

We already have system in this country that if you are poor, the government pays for your education, medical care, housing, clothing, and food.

We already have system in this country that the richest people in the country pay for these things. And just like the rich have given themselves tax cuts (as put it) so that they can have more money, the system in this country is that we take money from them for those who are unemployed and in need and not because of the wealthy and their titanic avarice because it is the right thing to do. And by the way, I will say 'socialist', and not communist, yet.
