adversity's algebra

Rate: 8 Flag

 

If the square root of no new taxes

is divided by the budget of Planned Parenthood and NPR,

the integer greater than the top 400 wealthiest Americans’ tax breaks

will be divided by the sum of Wallstreet-predicted quarterly job growth

minus the total cost of the Obamas’ last vacation

plus Newt Gingrich’s lifetime number of ex-wives, plus one tenth of

John Boener’s monthly tanning booth bill;

multiply the Job-Killing Universal Health Care Bill’s Hidden Costs

by the number of Palin and Pelosi grandchildren

and lifetime pounds lost by Mike Huckabee;

and the total dollars of lost revenue from Bush era tax breaks for Rupert Murdoch

and Lady Gaga will be paid for with interest by Wisconsin teacher pensions

and Christine O’Donnell’s rent will be supplemented by America’s growing segment of

homeless school children—from the fund for their Free Government Tunamelt Sandwiches

which they will renounce in exchange for Pepsi-Cola and U.S. Marine Corp sponsored

school lectures

about the Grand New Era

of fiscal austerity.

That's why it's called doing us by the numbers.
Mical, thank-you so much.

Lainey thank-you and good to see you here.

Jan, you're so right. I wish it were all wit and humor & not so sad the reprioritizing that's happening.
I laughed, but it was a wry one. We are so screwed.
"and Lady Gaga will be paid for with interest by Wisconsin teacher pensions"

haaaaaaaaaaaa - yeah right!

This piece is so creative and commanding at the same time ~ loved it and read it twice...
bellwether, I'm afraid so.

Heidi, thank-you. All in the same of belt-tightening for most, belt-loosening for a few.
