Van Jones just sent me an email. The note, courtesy of MoveOn.org, invites me to help suggest and rate ideas on how to improve the economy. He writes:

I trust my neighbors more than any Wall Street bank, hedge fund, or oil company. I think we all do.

But we keep letting the banks and multinational corporations, and their high-priced lobbyists, call the shots in our economy. You know what? I think they're doing a terrible job. Now it's time for us, the American people, to come up with our own vision.

So today we're launching a new effort. And we need your help.

Our goal is to help create a "Contract for the American Dream"—a people-powered plan for creating an economy that works for ALL of us.

When I clicked through to look at the ideas, I got this:

Alternative exchanges of time and energy Add to prosperity and security by developing and part

Wack-a-do

Fire all the administration czars.

Pol Pot had an idea for his planned economy. He emptied all the universities in Cambodia and made the denizens thereof go into the jungle and support themselves. He didn’t even need to buy bullets. They starved by the thousands.

Now that would be the real "Contract ON America" as Jesse Jackal was fond of saying in the 90's during the Contract WITH America.

Hey Van how cutting all taxes in half, reduce government regulation and cut the entire Federal Budget by 10% across the board. Return that 10% to the taxpayers. THAT is just a start.

I think just that alone would jump start our economy.

Great.... Mob rule via the vanjonesist !

Who is the ‘we’ he is referring to? Didn’t he ‘resign’?

[RightWingConspirator]

The solution is for Zerobama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi, all Democrat senators and all Democrat congressmen to resign immediately.

I trust my neighbors more than any Wall Street bank, hedge fund, or oil company. I think we all do.

I don't trust Van Jones' neighbors any more than I trust Van Jones!

With garbage like that on your computer, do you just place it in the shower every night to clean it up, or do you have to call the soul of Billy Mays to get an OxyClean job???

I trust my neighbor too, course he isn't trying to pick my pocket like the marxists on the left.

I find that cleaning my internal hard drive with a bottle of Merlot on Friday night is very cleansing.

Sometimes I need to follow it up with a few shots of Glen Fiddich the next afternoon.
