New Baby Boomer Retirement Plan........
now that our retirement nesteggs have been pillaged and we have nothing to do but to work till we die - I'm thinking that our government has provided us with a real good retirement plan.

I was in the other room so I don't know who it was talking - but I was listening to MSNBC. Whomever was being interviewed was touting how wonderful Gitmo is. He was telling of all the medical staff there. The meals that the prisoners get. Their ability to pray. How they are able to keep up with the news through TV and newspapers - I think he said USA TODAY.

Anyway - he painted a wonderful picture of the life of a terrorist after imprisonment at Gitmo - all expenses paid.

Yesterday in Keith's WTF Moment - he spoke of a Senator or Rep that was saying that these prisoners get better healthcare than most American's.

Well bottom line - could this be our new baby boomer retirement plan.

How do we get us some Gitmo?

Seems to me that when we feel we want to retire - we just cause some commotion that gets us admitted to Gitmo - and our lives will be taken care of until we pass from this earth. We'll have three squares a day. Have the best of healthcare. Get plenty of exercise. Keep up with world events. Allowed to practice our religion.

Maybe we can even encourage them to let us have afternoon coffee's or tea's and play cards and day have visits to Havana and cooking classes. This would be all on the taxpayers dime of course.

Any other ideas as to how to make Gitmo Retirement Ready. (sarcasm)

1. Go to south Florida, steal some rich guy's cigarette boat
and head for Gitmo. Go ashore and sock a cop and talk ragtime about overthrowing the government, planting bombs in the Senate, anything.

There's your retirement.

Of course, it helps if your skin is olive, but I doubt it's essential.

2. with rice pilaf, three kinds of fruit and tropical breezes
that place is an island paradise. And torture? Meh! I work in IT. Stress positions? Bring it! Being shackled to a bed frame for a few days is NOTHING! I've been shackled to a desk for decades!
