Americans... still believe in an America, where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody.
CONTINUING TO FAIL OVER...AND OVER...AND OVER AGAIN!
We reward people a lot for being rich, for being famous, for being cute, for being thin… one of the values I think we need to instill in our country, in our children, is a sense of ‘usefulness’, in other words, are we useful, are we making other peoples’ lives a little bit better?
My first job is to say thank you to those who voted me. Those who didn't, I'm going to get your vote next time.
My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.
Instead of having a set of policies that are equipping people for the globalization of the economy, we have policies that are accelerating the most destructive trends of the global economy.

At the end of the tax year the Tax Office sent an inspector to Audit the books of a Synagogue.

While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said: ‘I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?’

‘Good question,’ noted the Rabbi. ‘We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles.’

‘Oh,’ replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer but on he went, in his obnoxious way:

‘What about all these bread wafer purchases?’ ‘What do you do with the crumbs?’

‘Ah, yes,’ replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question.

‘We collect them and send them back to the manufactures, and every now and then they send us a free box of bread wafers.’

‘I see,’ replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi..

‘Well, Rabbi,’ he went on, ‘What do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?’

‘Here, too, we do not waste,’ answered the Rabbi.

‘What we do is save all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office and about once a year they send us a complete prick’.

To all our employees,

As the CEO of this company which employs over 100 people, I have accepted the fact that Barack Obama is our new President, and that our taxes and government fees will now increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for this additional overhead, I figure that the clients will have to see an increase in our fees of about 8% but, since we cannot raise those prices right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off several of our employees instead. This unfortunate economic reality has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I couldn’t figure out how to choose who will have to go.

After giving it considerable thought, this is what I did: I strolled through our
parking lot and found 11 Obama bumper stickers on our employees’ cars, and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know. Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

Your humble CEO

A MOMENT OF CLARITY

Sooner or later the truth of the matter comes out.
Read this one. Should not be any surprise to anyone.

The lawmakers are looking out for who?.
Remember when this economic crisis hit, and Congress let Bear Sterns go under, pushed a bunch of forced marriages between banks, etc.?

Then they bailed out AIG. At the time, I thought:”That’s strange. What does an insurance company have to do with this crisis?”

I think I just found the answer.

I just discovered that among other things, AIG INSURES THE
PENSION TRUST OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS!!

No wonder they got bailed out right away!

It’s a great feeling knowing that our lawmakers are there looking out for their best interest...

Here’s an easier way

If the email says “Check Snopes” but doesn’t have a link to the Snopes story, it’s bunk.

OMG! That is awesome! I don’t care if it real or not, I am making a fool of myself here in cube land.

[Dead Corpse]

Epic Fail

[Mind Freed]

Why would you post something so horrible. I can't stop crying. Good beer doesn't deserve this!

[IrishPennant]

Apologies - moral slip...unfortunately,

If it is Snopes it may be a bunk excuse anyway.
