Smart
My dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is more than one!
And then I took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes -- I guess he don't know
That three is more than two!
Just then, along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!
And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!
And then I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head--
Too proud of me to speak!

Irony?? Putting lipstick on a Monday pig and lining up to sleep with it on Friday.
How can you, with a straight face and a shot at selling your crap, oppose a bill on Monday ON FUNDAMENTAL GROUNDS (and faux umbrage at a partisan speech) then cast your proxies on a significantly identical bill on Friday? By calling the bailout a back-dated insurance policy? Including $112 Billion in Tax Breaks? REALLY?
Comedy? Newt Gingrich kicking off his 2012 Presidential Campaign.
Once this slasher movie of a Presidency has ended. Job ONE in America should be to permanently render Newt and the Neo-Cons to the cut-out bin.
