God said you can do what you want, Abe

See, one of the problems we've had that shows -- what we found out in New Orleans there's not -- there wasn't a lot of -- we take -- some things we take for granted like the generations passing assets from one generation to the next just didn't happen in the African American community, and should. We ought to encourage -- we take that for granted, don't we? Some of us do. You know, you pass the house on. A lot of these people didn't own their own homes. A lot of them didn't have checking accounts. And yet one of the things we ought to encourage is systems -- is reforms that enable somebody to own something so they can pass it on to their child. It's part of creating stability and healthy families and strength. And so I want to be known as an ownership guy.

Good news, people of New Orleans--the president is going to buy you all houses (probably not in New Orleans though) so that you have one to pass on to the next generation! And Kayne thought he didn't like black people.

"I would like to express my complete surprise that many poor people don't own houses, and that many poor people use exclusively cash."

That quote is nigh incoherent.

This, however, is not unusual.

Just imagine how shocked he's going to be when his handlers mention that some of those folks have never even owned their own energy company, and have let their country club memberships lapse!

What I learned today

Nuclear power is a clean and renewable resource! I guess you split those atoms, wait long enough, and they just join back together. I wonder if that's where the radiation goes; back into the reformed atom.

Nah, you just have to wait for the next supernova to create more heavy elements. I'm sure the Republicans aren't planning on giving up power any time before that anyway.

Oh, right. In the Republican universe, matter and energy are always being spontaneously generated. That's why it's unreasonable for the poor to remain poor; they just need to turn their umbrellas upside down and catch the soupfall.

I forgot.

Hey, it worked for Georgie when he was but a wee Republican, so it must be a law of nature!

*sigh* I wish that I'd picked rich parents.

Re: What I learned today

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

The fact that you didn't is simply evidence that G*d hates you, as he saves the rich parents for morally upright folks of whom he approves.

Oh, yeah. I forget that I'm morally corrupt and utterly contemptable in the eyes of right-thinking folk. I'm surprised I'm not black, female, Jewish, and gay.
