Unempalooza 2010

A buddy recently sent me a hilarious blog entry by state Sen. Daylin Leach, D-King of Prussia, that attempts to understand the reasoning behind Republicans blocking the jobless benefits extension. In his satirical blog entry, Leach imagines what prominent conservatives think the unemployed do all day as they celebrate Unempalooza 2010. Most nights, according to Leach, the unemployed snort Jaegermeister until the wee hours of the morning before rolling out of bed after noon. In other parts, Leach asks how middle-class Americans can be viewed by Republicans as hard workers until the day they're let go from a job. Then they're trash that must be swept to the curb. Here's my favorite line...

"You see most of the time, Republicans talk about how great the American worker is. They are the salt of the earth, and all of our policies should be directed towards helping "working families". They are "real Americans", not like liberal college professors or weird Kenyan/Indonesian Presidents of the United States. These are great people! Until the moment they lose their jobs. Then, they become lazy, predatory parasites, lazily suckling on the teet of Socialist Leviathan."

  2. You didn't read the rest of it. We don't roll out of bed, we roll out of the bushes in a neighbor's yard.
