Just saw the best sign EVER

[Worthless Teen]

An old, haggard man was standing on a street corner with torn clothes and a sign which read "Keep me poor - Vote Bush in '04" Lots of people were honking and giving him thumbs up, in Richmond of all places!

1. BWAHAAHAA!

Thanks....

2. Great sign, really sorry situation....and I am sure that the party of

"personal responsibility" would make hay with that. Of course, they themselves take no personal responsibility for any of their repressive, evil policies...or their lies...or their theft...or their hypocrisy...or their attack-mode tactics...or their un-Christian, hollow words...or their fake piety...or their standing firm with the rich at the expense of the poor...on and on and on.

3. That is a great, but tragic sign

4. Job shortage keeps folks poor:105 Trillion is wealth

end job shortage

proof of job shortage

http://www.bls.gov/jlt look at LEVELS, not ratios. Sub openings from 17 million sum of unemp plus discouraged.

wealth:
look at bottom line, and line twenty

end poverty two ways

WPA, job sharing as in France, and three, grants.. grants of ten K / family, cost would be 300 billion.

WPA AND job sharing cost nothing... they generate. Since they harness the output of folks now idle.

about your name... practice optimism. Feels better, and you get more done. Buddhist meditation also good. Long walks also lift mood. Get with other democrats to lift mood. Avoid republicans. They are undeveloped minds, failures at gaining wisdom. Ditto, school bullies. They are undeveloped failures.

5. Wow, teen, where in Richmond is this guy?

6. Cary Street, just before Carytown

Dangerously close to the elitist conservative Windsor Farms...

7. My old neighborhood

Carytown that is. Used to live at the Boulevard and Cary intersection.

8. It's a fun place

Richmond is for the most very conservative, but in Carytown you get an interesting mix of the West End rich republicans and the slightly more informed folks from the Fan.

9. That's a great idea

for others to do, too. Sounds like a genius bit of guerilla theater.

[Lilli]

12. Yup.

Great guerilla theatre!
