WASHINGTON, DC -- President Bush signed a job-training bill into law Friday to ease the elderly back to work and "end senior loafing as we know it." Bush told a cheering group of nursing home residents that, "There is no free lunch. Cooking and cleaning keeps us fiscally fit and gives seniors moral fiber." Amidst much laughter he added that, "We all know you folks can't get too much fiber."

The newest jobs are ideally suited to the elderly, whose decreased capacities are a perfect match for the tediously monotonous routines favored by employers. GOP plans call for training elderly fry cooks, janitors, Wal-Mart greeters, and nuclear waste disposal experts. The latter is deemed appropriate for those of advanced age, since long gestation periods for cancer don't matter to seniors who will die soon anyway.

9. Hmmmmmm, my mother is almost 93.

Think it's time to send her back into the job market? She does have a bit of trouble getting around without her walker, is tone deaf and not in the best of health.


A "cheering" crowd at a nursing home? Are they nuts or do they figure the nursing home residency gives them a deferment.

Hey! Why doesn't he start drafting the elderly to send them into the Iraqi grinder?

18. she'd be perfect for the Manufacturing Sector

" Can I take your order? Eh??"
" Would you like fries with that? Sure you would..."
" Supersize it sonny??"

10. Not even * is that f**king stupid, Oh wait yes he is. Joke or not He would

[Beaverhausen]

11. Yeah- lets not give him any ideas!

[liberal N proud]

12. This is his plan to save social security

Everyone will work until they are dead and no one will be able to collect Social Security.

[LiberalEsto]

17. There won't BE any Social Security

Pigs spent it all to give the rich their tax cut

[liberal N proud]

19. That was sort of my point!

[MuseRider]

13. HA!

It is so very sad that I thought this was real. I really think this is within the bounds for Bush*, he will do it if he gets in again.

[stevedeshazer]

15. I admit, I thought so for a second, too

We could all use a good laugh, I think. :)

[demwing]

16. I didn't think it was real until I hit the link

THen I was momentarily panicked! That sight looks legit on first glance.

The fact that it takes a minute to figure out the difference between Bush and bullshit says EVERYTHING.

20. Steve Martin: "I'm so MAD at my MOTHER..."

"She's 103 years old and last week she asked me for $5 to buy some FOOD. And I said, 'Ma, hey, I WORK for a living!' So, I told her to take my barbells up to the attic."

Anybody else remember that 70s routine of his?

[Sparkly]

26. YES!!

That's what came to my mind, too!! :D

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

22. Quadriplegics are next

I'm sure Bush will encourage them to put their lazy tongues to use licking stamps and envelopes in the tediously monotonous envelope stuffing industry.

23. hEY DAD,GOTTA JOB

Porgie unchecked,would bring back child labor.

[n2mark]

24. Almost fooled

Almost believed this for a minute... I just retired in April. I have low blood pressure, but I bet mine peaked for the first time. This would not surprise from this sleazeball. As Mike Malloy would say "have I told you how much I hate this man"?

Thanks for the laugh though. Love DU!

[stevedeshazer]

27. That's the thing

It's believable enough for one to give pause.

Welcome to DU, by the way.

:hi:

25. Good grief!

I thought this was real at first. This is something that Bush would try to do. :scared:

I got a good laugh but the irony of it is obvious. First Iraq, then the workplace.

Who will save us from this idiot? He's already calling up older Americans to go to Iraq.

OLDER AMERICANS ARE FIGHTING AND DYING IN IRAQ WAR

Bush won't stop at age 62. He might call up anybody who can still walk.

28. Without even looking to see if anyone else asked, in my mind I'm going

"this has to be the Onion." But the link isn't 'onion.'
Wait till I show my 'senior' parents. LOL!

Oooh, I should copy this and put it up everywhere in the 'seniors only' place that they live. :evilgrin:

That's how far we've sunk.

Love the Burroughs stamp! :)
