In this case, he intended it as a joke. But all jokes have at least a grain of truth. Or a whole truckload of truth.
I actually agree with Joe.....Arlen Specter really should have a D after his name. A true democrat dressed in republican clothing.

The IRS has refined the details on that great big tax cut we're getting. Remember all that big to-do over the Stimulus Bill? Now the IRS has issued the tax tables to go into effect April 1st. I calculate 39 weeks from April 1st to the end of the year. 390 buck-a-roos.
Gee, what to do with all those riches. Michelle Obama suggested that 600 bucks Bush gave out might stimulate you to buy earrings. I guess we're only getting two-thirds of a set, at best.
What are you gonna do with your jewelry?

We're now right back where we were in 1997, as far as the stock market is concerned. All this time, I thought the one was gonna fix it all. Go figure.
At least we've removed all those evil riches from the George W. Bush years.

Some folks are sure wondering what someone found on the bottom of the Atlantic, using Google Earth. Out at 31 15'15.53N, 24 15'30.53W sits a whole grid of lines on the bottom of the ocean resembling a city map.

....during the campaign, the rich were defined as incomes greater than $250,000? Then $200,000? Then Biden saying it was $150,000?
That tax cut to 95% of Americans has finally been defined. As $75,000. And you'll get back $400, over the year. $13 thru the rest of this year (starting in April), $8 a week over next year.
Whoopee!
Wasn't Michelle Obama complaining about the measly $600 per person under the Bush administration (about buying earrings)? The same Michelle praising the current tax cut (buying half a tank of gas)?
I'm glad we're catching all these old quotations!

Consider these stories:
Only one month, and the small-m messiah's peace has yet to appear. What, they didn't get the memo?

Looks like Senator Arlen Specter got what he deserved by his constituents. Signs were seen in the crowd stating "Benedict Specter wait for 2010".
Remember, protest is patriotic. As patriotic as paying taxes for Joe Biden.

The University of Louisville has received an IBM super computer.
Wow. Back in the days when I was there, programming in FORTRAN, PL/I and Assembler, we were still using punch cards. Man, do I date myself! What we could've done with this machine, versus waiting hours for batch compiles to return from the shared state computer at UK.
Not that I'm calling them the good ol' days!

After the Senate spent a late Friday night doing "their work" (not the people's work, mind you, but the work needed according to them!), President Obama has taken a long weekend off and WON'T be signing the bill until Tuesday. What ever happened to the president's job being 24x7? Like Hillary's 3am phone call.
If this thing was so doggone important, I'd say it's time the one acted like it.

Twelve year old Lia was requested to put together a speech that might be entered into competition at her seventh grade level. After a lot of serious consideration, she chose to do a pleading speech on the facts of abortion.
Her teachers requested she change the subject. But she stuck to her guns. The teachers then said fine, but she won't be allowed to continue up thru the competition.
As it turns out, she was allowed to continue further in the competition. After a few other similar road blocks, she is now representing her school regionally with this speech.
Sadly, so called "1st amendment" believing public school teachers fear anything that disagrees with their world view. Thank God for girls like Lia, and parents like hers.
