The Muskegon Chronicle made me laugh.

In the opinion section of the paper, the editor was trying to explain that newspapers do not take sides, they just report. I about fell off my chair. My reply would be, Who did the Muskegon chronicle endorse in the last election?

The tea party says it wants to bring back democracy, but their president says that they will not compromise on anything.

The unions are for the poor people. The NFL will go on strike because the rich owners can't come to a deal with the rich players. It's only a game.

A democrat party member confirmed that we are also in Libia looking for WMD's. Maybe while we are there we can look for Ben Ladden.

A news reporter claimed that the only thing worse then the lose of life in Japan, is the economic devastation.

There are people out there who claim that nothing good happens when government interfere with business. This statement has to be the most ridiculous. Abraham Lincoln interfered with business by abolishing slavery. Without government regulations in the work place, we could bring back the good ole sweatshops and cheap Irish labor.

Answer a question for me. Standing in line at the grocery store is a women with two shopping carts full of supplies. She pays for all of it using five bridge cards. There was nothing in any of the carts that would suggest that she had children.

At Burger King you can have it your way, but in politics you have to compromise.

Couple things... what news reporter said that the economic devestation was more tragic than loss of life? That is the most HORRIBLE thing I have EVER heard and it seriously makes me sick.
Second... the bridge card lady... yeah, that also makes me sick. They could fix that in two ways (as well as fixing part of the budget woes). Drug test welfare recepients and denying benefits to those that are found to be participating in illegal activites. This could save the program a WHOLE LOT of money. Second, make the bridge card more like WIC. People who receive WIC are alloted a certain ammount of staple foods (milk, eggs, cheese, cereal, peanut butter, tuna, and carrots). If the BRIDGE card allowed people certain ammounts of the basic food groups you wouldn't see the carts full of processed crap foods and a healthier Michigan in general! Also, those that also receive medicaid benefits wouldn't have as many health problems related to poor nutriton habits. :)

They don't take sides? They just report?

Hilarious.

The irony is infuriating - it is so sweet to be able to sit back and smile knowingly that it is all a charade and we are all just bit players in some cruel comedy.
