In The Meantime

Although I was very encouraged by last night's T.E.A. Party in Manchester, New Hampshire, I don't plan to write about it until the weekend.

In the meantime I thought I'd share this bit of humor I received in an email.

WHY I'M DEPRESSED

Over five 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 (when welfare was introduced)  Roosevelt said,
"Lay down your shovels,  sit on your asses, and light up a Camel. 
This is the Promised Land. 

Now Obama has stolen our shovels, taxed our asses, 
raised the price of Camels, and mortgaged the Promised Land! 

I was so depressed last night thinking about health 
care plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, 
Social Security, retirement funds, and everything else . . . I called Lifeline. 

Because of all the outsourcing I was routed to a call center in Pakistan. 

I told them I was suicidal. 

They got really excited and asked if I could drive a truck.
