Ed Anger Says "Coming Soon: Cash for Old Coots!"
Weekly World News ^ | 8/3/2009 | Ed Anger

So I heard I bought some of you new cars last week! When do I get a thank you?!

Yeah, I know: you think “the gubmit” gave you a new car, with that Cash for Clunkers thing. Well, who do you think “the gubmit” stole that $4500 from in the first place? Me, and the half of us still stupid enough to pay taxes!

I can’t afford to buy a new car. Know why? Cuz the government took my money and gave it to YOU!

I don’t get it. I read on the computer machine that these “clunker” cars are actually still ok. They don’t run on magical unicorn farts though, so they’re “bad” for the earth! (Even though what could be more natural than OIL that comes out of the ground, I don’t know…)

The law says these perfectly good cars have to get wrecked now, and their still good parts destroyed. How crazy is that?

It’s just what that commie pinko Russian spy FDR did during the Depression. People were starving but he burned crops because… that would help raise prices! And...

"This all shows you what to expect from Obama’s health care stuff: old people will get traded in and sent to the junkyard! Mark my words, America!!"

An excellent line to be used against ObamaCare.

Great and to the point! I cannot believe they are requiring these old vehicles to be totally destroyed. They could go to charities!

Cash in your old coot, get a donation to the Democrat Party.

Charity?! Haven’t you heard? That’s the government’s job, Bud. Just pay your damn taxes.

I’m waiting for the giant scandal to be revealed. Somehow, some way, when that much government money is involved, somebody has figured out how to scam the system.

They went through the initial funding sooner than expected? Surprise, surprise!

How do they really know that every one of those $4500 vouchers is tied to the purchase of a qualified new vehicle and the retirement of an eligible old one?

It looks as if WeeklyWorldNews is turning into one of the most reliable sources of news and opinion out there.

Better than the NY Times. Better than the Washington ComPost. Better than the LA Times.

What a hoot.

If I get all of my old Scotch bottles together, do you think the Federal government will let me participate in a “Dollars for Drunkards” program?

I heard today (word of mouth, not from news) that they only have to junk the engines. The rest of the car can be used for parts or whatever. We have a GM dealer here where I live that is matching the governments $4500 so they are probably putting new engines in some of those cars and reselling them.

Well, that makes me feel better. I hate to see the engines being destroyed too though. Geesh! This is unbelievable, ha?

This is disturbing. Ed Anger is starting to make sense.

Ed Anger speaks the truth again.

After visiting WWN to read the rest of the article, I noticed that Bat Boy looks an awful lot like Rahm Emanual (not to diss Bat Boy). Hmmm...
