A good new slogan would be, “Food Stamps! Because You’ve
Got Better Things To Do With Your Money!”

I wonder when the USDA realized that Americans who have to pay for those free food stamps were getting angry.

The food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased to be distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to “please do not feed the animals” because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.

I've been waiting for a thread about Fox's new "latino" network commercial, where idiot text at the conclusion reads : "American, Like you!"

BS.
I got an earful for Fox and any moron who appeals to the African tribal model.

For whatever it's worth, I am "officially" Latino, but you won't hear that from me; not as defining my societal status.

I am an American, first and last.
English is my language of choice.
French and Spanish are my recreational languages.

Now when are they going to stop the lying ads about Obamacare. The ads claim that people are getting top notch, “free” health care right now, and our money is paying for this propagand!

Absolutely correct.

If I didn’t like my current tag and could figure out how to distill your comment, your comment would be a GREAT tagline!

The health care ads are subtle, touting the benefits of staying healthy and then making reference to the “new health care law” as if Obamacare were somehow responsible for these blessings.

The ones I’ve heard are anything but subtle! They feature a man getting a check-up, a baby getting shots, and something else that I can’t remember, and it’s all FREE! Whoopee! Uncle Obama is taking care of all of us, and we don’t pay a dime. (Um, I did add that last bit myself.)

Of course not!!

They'll figure out how to do it through direct mailing (at 10 times the cost) or through "Executive Order."

More "Stroke of the Pen, Law of the Land" criminality.

And the so-called loyal opposition in Congress is hiding under the bed!

Don't want to step on a good line, but the Park Service is part of the Interior Department (the people who are strangling offshore oil leasing) not the Agriculture Department.
