Comrade Paul Krugman on what Obama needs to do:
"What he needs, in short, is to do for economic policy what he’s already done for race relations and foreign policy — talk to Americans like adults."
Are ya freakin' kidding me?!?! What EXACTLY has he done for "race relations"?  Foreign policy? What has he done besides fly around the world tirelessly singing the Nirvana song "All Apologies"? Tell me comrade Krugman, WHAT THE HELL ARE YA SMOKIN"?

(AP) World has avoided economic disaster, Obama says.
Don't be dissapointed Barack you will get us there!
(AP) IRS "Turning over every rock" to raise revenue
I thought that was where we found our elected officials


A salesman was traveling through the country side,
flogging insect repellent. He came to a farmhouse and
tried his pitch on the farmer: "Sir, my bug spray is so
good you will never be bitten again. I guarantee it."
The farmer was dubious: "Young man, I'll make you a 
proposition. I'll tie you out in my cornfield buck
naked, covered with that bug spray. If there is not a 
single bite on you come morning, I'll buy a whole case
from you and get everyone in the county to buy a case.
We will make you rich."
The salesman was delighted. They went to the field and
he stripped. The farmer sprayed him thoroughly with the
bug spray and tied him to a stake. Back to the house
went the farmer.
The next morning, the farmer and his family trooped
out to the cornfield. Sure enough, the salesman was
there, hanging in his bonds, not a single bite on
him. Yet he was a total wreck; Pale, ghastly, haggard,
and drawn, but not one bite on him!
The farmer was perplexed. "Son," he said, "Now, you
don't have a bite on you but you look like hell!
What the devil happened?"
The salesman looked up through bloodshot eyes and
croaked, "Doesn't that calf have a mother?"

Is that a testament to your due diligence as a salesman, back in the day, or was it, Will? Jeesh, had to think a little about it before I got it, Will. I think I like the farmer daughter ones better.

datadave,
         Alas, the farmers daughter is no longer available for jokes as she now lives in a tent city in Sacramento with her eight children and non U.S. citizen boyfriend.
