Life is Like a Box of Chocolates...
Letter to SA Express News | 2/15/09 | HMV

Here is a letter sent today to the San Antonio Express News:

Forrest Gump’s quote “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get” has had special meaning this weekend.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Congress passed the economic stimulus bill, and what a gift it is! While the Express-News crows about the stimulus funds that our caring Congress is sending to Texas and to San Antonio, they conveniently forget something. These are OUR tax dollars in the first place! Not just our tax dollars from Texas, mind you, but our children’s and our children’s children’s tax dollars. All this from our hired representatives in Washington who never met a pay raise for themselves that they didn’t like, and whose own individual records of paying taxes are spotty at best.

Forrest Gump is right. When you open that box of Valentine’s Day chocolates, be wary of the large turd that came from Washington DC.

The sad thing is that if these politicians had bought votes with their own money, they would have been arrested and charged with a crime.

I think life is a box of chocolates. Conservatives get the box with the candies marked so they do know what they are getting and liberals get the box with nothing marked because they don't care, they just want the sweet stuff.

Life has become more like a pair of dirty underwear....sometimes you need a change.

Life may be like a box of chocolates, but this Bill is more like a box of 1,700 turds, each wrapped in a billion dollar bill...

.. and there are many more behind it just like it coming to serve up and cram down our gagging throats.
