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.

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