Ahem, we now have an Austria forming a Youth Corps...

Hmmm, I think I remember the last time an Austrian tried that, and it wasn’t good.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It would probably be more beneficial for these boneheads to school and learn something. This “green” crap won’t last long once we elect a real president again.

an Austrian wanting to indoctrinate the youth...

... what could go wrong?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

$20 Million for 20 months to reach 1,000 "at risk" gang-bangers. Maybe they'll give 'em green spray paint for their next gang tags.

At least 1,000 young Californians in the program, aged 16 to 24, will be paid with funds from President Barack Obama's recently-approved federal stimulus plan

How exactly does this stimulate the economy when these kids spend all that money on Xboxes?

said Schwarzenegger, who stressed that the jobs are targeted toward youth considered "at-risk" of failing academically, foundering in the work place or getting into trouble with the law.

Only if you are irresponsible, a problem or failing in school can you be a part of any of Obama's redistribution of taxpayers wealth.

“President Obama and I share similar priorities right now when it comes to helping the economy rebound and creating a greener California and America,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement.”

I read that aloud to my wife. She instantly got that Mossberg 12 ga. expression on her face along with the usual S&W look in her eye, and said “That guy had never ever better be elected to anything ever again.”

Oh! I agree.

The story is completely without specifics of what “protecting California’s ecology” would look like, exactly. Agitation/demonstrations against “polluters,” perhaps? Preventing people from clearing their land of deadfall to ensure a big brushfire season? I’m curious.

Ahnald, you should also make sure they learn to ask “would you like cous cous or french fries with that?”

[caseinpoint]

Let me guess, this is the new “moonlighting” jobs for teachers and prison guards with very powerful unions.

[tdscpa]

“Little Red Guard” had already been used. Ahnold has to establish “Little Green Guard”. Too bad I'm red-green colorblind. Won't be able to tell the difference.
