Something to study over the weekend. No, there will not be a pop quiz on Monday.

We obviously need a new department to determine when studies have gone too far.

To work in this new department, a HS diploma or equivalent will be required, union membership will be mandatory, and retirement with full pension and benefits will be available after 20 years of service.

Always the rebel, you'll be able to find me, (at 85), working for minimum wage as a Walmart greeter.......................social security will have long ago run out.

The rest of us will continue to work to serve the government pensioners.

It's a wonderful life. Don't ever forget................it's the rich that screwed us. The next administration will make things right.

Well you have to have a study of the study of the studies to determine if the procedure is studious or not, that's just common sense....How else would you determine the studious nature of the study of studies except in the studious manner of a study....In fact we may have to have a study of the study of the study of the study in order to determine if another study is needed...In fact I think we need a study to determine if another study will be needed....But we'll have to study that...

Finally a job tailor made for me! I can really sink my teeth into something so absolutely useless. But I'll require a week vacation each month for the duration, this may take many years, and a retirement and compensation package to rival that of our banking industry's leaders!

Trust me, I won't waste any taxpayer dollars on frivolity

We're all being much too cruel..............................without studies, there are no answers, and without answers.............all is lost. Vote early and vote often.
