CANDYLAND--WALL STREET EDITION

YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, MOST WHO ARE MILLIONAIRES AND DO NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTING THROUGH ANOTHER WEEK, ARE MOVING QUICKLY TO BAIL OUT WALL STREET FOR $700 BILLION COURTESY OF ALL OF US SUCKER TAXPAYERS WHO NEVER QUESTION ANYTHING.

AND IN AN UNPRECEDENTED ACT OF GENEROSITY, OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE EVEN POSTPONING THEIR TAXPAYER PAID THREE MONTH VACATIONS "UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE." SUCH LOYALTY.

ONLY 300 AMERICANS SHOWED UP TO PROTEST THIS CALAMITY TODAY WHEN THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 300,000. BUT IT'S HARD TO WHEN DAD IS HOLDING DOWN 2 OR 3 JOBS, MOM IS WORKING 1 OR 2 AND EVEN SUSIE AND BOBBY MUST ALSO HAVE EMPLOYMENT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FAMILY.

THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS TURNED INTO AN AMERICAN NIGHTMARE.

AND YOUR GOVERNMENT, WITHOUT CONSULTING YOU, THINKS THAT THEY CAN DO ALL OF THIS IN THE QUIET OF THE NIGHT.

YOUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE PRAYING THAT SOME MAJOR NEW SHOWBIZ SCANDAL WILL BREAK IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS SO ALL OF YOUR ATTENTION CAN BE DIVERTED TO THAT INSTEAD.

IF THEY'RE LUCKY:
MAYBE MICHAEL JACKSON WILL MARRY PARIS HILTON.
MAYBE ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT WILL ADOPT THE OSMOND FAMILY.
AND THE ULTIMATE, MAYBE ELVIS WILL REVEAL HIMSELF AFTER 3 DECADES!

IT'S JUST A TRILLION DOLLARS. NO WORRY.

YOU SHOULD BE UP IN ARMS ABOUT WHAT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY. BUT THE NEW TV SEASON IS HERE AND THAT IS REALLY MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.

WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE $1 TRILLION DOLLAR PROGRAM THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED TO SET UP TO BUY OUT THE MILLIONS OF BAD LOANS THAT WERE MADE BY GREEDY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, MORTGAGE COMPANIES AND BANKS?

YOU ARE GOING TO PAY, YOUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO PAY, THEIR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO PAY AND THEIRS AS WELL.

LIPSTICK ON A PIG--ENOUGH ALREADY!

AMERICANS ARE 60 DAYS AWAY FROM SELECTING THE MOST POWERFUL OFFICE ON EARTH--PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

AND WHAT DID WE HEAR ALL DAY LONG TODAY NO MATTER WHERE YOU TURNED?

LIPSTICK ON A PIG

IT SEEMS THAT THE TWO MAJOR CANDIDATES ARE TRADING BARBS REGARDING THE USE OF THE TERM AND IT HAS BECOME A FOCUS ON BLAMING EACH OTHER FOR, WELL, WHATEVER.

WE ARE INVOLVED IN TWO WARS DAILY KILLING INNOCENT AMERICANS AND IRAQIS/AFGHANISTANS, OUR ECONOMY IS ABOUT TO SINK INTO DEPRESSION-ERA NUMBERS, THE DEFICIT IS STAGGERING, UNEMPLOYMENT IS SKYROCKETING, GAS AND FOOD PRICES ARE OUT OF CONTROL, 45 MILLION AMERICANS CAN'T SEE A DOCTOR--AND OUR MAJOR CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT ARE ARGUING ABOUT "LIPSTICK ON A PIG."

THIS IS LIKE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

CAN YOU IMAGINE KENNEDY AND NIXON ARGUING ABOUT METAPHORS TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE 1960 ELECTION--INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE SERIOUS CONCERNS OF THE DAY?

THEY ARE PROBABLY BOTH ROLLING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES.

Where Can The Cubans Go? Nowhere.

Cubans have a unique problem which has not been talked about anywhere in the news.

Where can they go to evacuate if a 3-4-5 strength hurricane passes over their island as one is headed?And as one did last week?

The answer is nowhere. In a dangerous game of musical chairs, the Cuban government simply had them move to the weakest area of the hurricane or in an area that it had already passed.

As most of you know, Cuba is one of 5 remaining Communist nations on earth.

Residents are simply not allowed to leave. Even during a hurricane.
Because they love their Socialist Paradise--at least that's what their government tells them.

Even if we offered safety temporarily and took the whole population out to our shores, that would be a problem for El Presidente For Life Fidel Castro and his little 76-year-old brother Raul who now is in charge. 99% of the residents would refuse to go back until they became a Democracy.

Even with the threat of a hurricane that is large enough to cover the entire island at the whole time and do catastrophic damage, the Castro Brothers want to make sure that they control the lives of the people at all times.

If Cuba was next to China and would be afraid to drop its Communist state, that would be one thing. But they're not. They are next to the United States. Maybe the 12 million residents of Cuba will get lucky if Fidel and Raul are washed out to sea and land in Miami on a raft. We'd love to make them permanent guests.

HOW CAN I TEACH FREEDOM OF SPEECH WITHOUT BEING A HYPOCRITE?

How can I sit there and smile and tell students "Your First Amendment Rights Guarantee That You Can Express Your Opinion In America" when I realistically know that a group of teenage girls who decided to express their anti-abortion views by writing on chalk on the sidewalk in front of Barak Obama's hotel in Denver were pounced upon by Nazi-Fascist police, were physically restrained, arrested and mandhandled by a group of fascist pigs in Denver last week during the Democractic National Convention.

What do you care? You are more interested in who is going to win NBC's very important Talent Contest, or what Lindsay, Britney or Paris has to say, or what outrageous incident in the news we can all be shocked and incensed by today (until a new one comes about tomorrow)...

Did you see this video on CBS News or ABC News or NBC News?
Did you hear anything about it?

Of course not.

According to the Constitution that I am supposed to teach, these girls have the right to express their "Anti-Abortion" or "Pro-Abortion" opinions, views and feelings without a group of government thugs attacking them. They had even obtained a permit from the city to write on the sidewalk with chalk.

For a minute I thought this happened in Communist China during the Olympics.

That I could understand.

If you don't wake up now, one of these days, they'll be coming after you when you express your opinion. And there will be nobody left to help you.

When soon to be Governor of California Pat Brown once said "There is fascism in the air," he knew what he was talking about.

Let me warn you about something. Democracy is no different than a champion tennis ability. You need to practice it, cultivate it, work at it and keep it in its finest form.

OR YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE IT.

Don't ever forget. YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT.

You hire them to represent YOU.
If they become tyrants, you have the right to replace them.

I cannot tell 16-year-olds about how wonderful and guaranteed their freedom of speech rights are when I am aware of just one example of a group of them being assaulted by fascist nazis for using those freedoms.
