The Promised Land

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pickup your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

Today, the Government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

I was so depressed last night thinking about BP, Health Care Plans, the Economy, the Wars, lost Jobs, Savings, Cancer, Social Security, Retirement Funds, etc . . . I called a Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for English.

I was connected to a call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal.

They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck.
