Nations poor wins election for nation's rich--Onion
Edited on Thu Nov-11-04 02:21 PM by janesez
You know shit's bad when The Onion articles are true.

"Our society is falling apart—our treasured values are under attack by terrorists," said Ellen Blaine of Givens, OH, a tiny rural farming community as likely to be attacked by terrorists as it is to be hit by a meteor. "We need someone with old-time morals in the White House. I may not have much of anything in this world, but at least I have my family."

2. I liked this part of the article.
"The alliance between the tiny fraction at the top of the pyramid and the teeming masses of mouth-breathers at its enormous base has never been stronger," a triumphant Bush said. "We have an understanding, them and us. They help us stay rich, and in return, we help them stay poor. See? No matter what naysayers may think, the system works."

I actually think Bush could get away with saying this kind of stuff now with nobody openly criticizing him for it.
