I Just Got Into It Again With My Dumbass Puke Neighbor Tonight [View all]

Because he decided to stop the wife and I while we were out on our evening walk to try and talk politics and economics with me and when he went to the dumb ass statement they all spew about how the rich and business are "job creators" and that President Obama will never get it I looked at him and very politely asked him to explain to me if that were true and with both corporate profits and unemployment at 50 year highs right now, why is it that we are not drowning in jobs today and he went all lunatic on me and said "oh you'll never understand how economics work because your that jackass long-haired baby-boomin' hippie that plays that damn John Lennon bullshit music loud all the time and you support an illegal alien President". Needless to say that bastard is going to be listening to my 4CD Box Set all damn night long now and that's a FACT!
