That's the way some of them are seeing it over on the DUmmies board!

If a man gave a buck to a bum every day on the way to work, and then lost his job, the DUmmies would tell the bum to chase the guy back to his home to still demand the buck!

Oh, it’s great from the standpoint of a Kennedy pandering to Hugo Chavez. But it’s not so great an idea from the standpoint of the great unwashed expressing their feelings to Chavez. Especially after he’s cut them off at the pass...

Odd how a liberal can understand this sign and the reasons for it, but cannot fathom why the same does not apply to people on the dole.............

Economic reality coupled with the imminent departure of George w. Bush sounded the death knell for 1-800-JOE-4-OIL.

Drill Baby Drill!

Better yet, Joe and all other Venezuelan stooges should all move to Venezuela and camp out on Chavez's yard.

You have not been keeping up. We are in global warming mode, that is why it is cold.

Didn’t you know that Global warming causes cold weather?
