That's great, Letty, but where was the satire? Isn't that pretty much what Bush et al are saying, with more or less straight faces, ever since Project Iraqi Freedom ended?
The tax cut is about jobs, the tax cut is about economic stimulus, the tax cut will help you grow a bigger...Oh wait, forget the last item. That was from some spam I just got...

Oh, my Gawd D'art. Your line is far better that the doc's I've gotten that same spam.
Ahem!...
Well, nothing get's the public's attention better than satire. Those who don't get it, will smile smugly, while those who do will just smile.

It was good satire. The problem is so many people seem to be buying the absurd logic of these tax cuts...

Setanta...My Gawd. Don't you dare leave this forum. You ain't Caesar, and nobody here is Yon Cassius
Ah, my friend, if you leave it will be the unkindest(tax) cut of all.
Piffka, is that emu, et tu?
Folks, I thought that I would never get in here. Anybody seen Diane?

Here I am, sweetie. I agree with D'art; the satire is so close to the truth that it is more bittersweet than funny.
I've been swearing more than I've ever done in my life. I think of GW and just go f@#+ing crazy!! Do you think a tax cut would help? No, maybe a good dose of that old-time religion.
Satire? No, sarcasm is the best I can do.

Ok, Diane. Let's compromise on tongue in cheek.
Perhaps we should all take our tax cut and buy Exxon stock.

I have to admit to missing the satire too. Seems pretty sensible to me. :wink:

Say, scrat, I've got a bridge you might want to consider purchasing. It's in Brooklyn and recently celebrated its 120th anniversary. Let me know if you're interested in hearing more about it--I can offer you a great deal!
