That one is pretty bad. But, I recommend the one about Republicans, and conservatives in general, are the money grubbing fat-cats of the world who are sucking the life, and money, out of all the other poor people. And it is the Democrats who are keeping them from doing that, for the children. There's a good article, funny, here --

Here's a small excerpt from the article:

"Mr. Krugman? Your editor at The Times is on the line. Want to take it?"

"Sure, thanks, Peggy. Hello, Phil?" "Paul, hi. Just checking in about tomorrow's column. You have a topic?"

"Not sure yet. I thought probably I'd do something on how the Enron scandal proves, yet again, that George W. Bush and his Texas cronies and all their shady friends in the boardrooms of corporate America are out to line their pockets by screwing all the hardworking little guys out of their pensions and livelihoods."

"Sounds good, Paul. Any other possibilities?"

"Maybe something on the Bush budget. How this latest round of tax cuts for the rich, the very rich, the super-rich, and the ultra-rich proves, yet again, that Bush and his Texas cronies and all their shady friends in the boardrooms of corporate America are out to line their pockets by screwing all the hardworking little guys out of their hard-won wages."

"That's good, really good. Anything else? Surprise me."

"Phil, I'm thinking about weighing in on unfettered global capitalism. How it proves, yet again, that Bush and his Davos cronies and all their shady friends in the boardrooms of multinational corporations are out to line their pockets by screwing all the hardworking little guys out of a chance to get ahead."

"I like it. That all?"

"Republicans want to pollute the air we breathe and the water we drink." (as if republicans have somehow figured out a way to have their own independent supply of air and water, separate from that which is consumed by democrats. Either that, or Republicans must have a death wish to want to drink arsenic ladened water and carcinogenic laced air)

It is so true, the Republicans are the money grubbers, while the x42 family is living in a million dollar house bought with someone else's loan being paid for by building a shack for the SS, then charging the US citizens rent money about equal to payments they make on the loan. What a family, who do everything for the children.....huh?
