So, anyone here going to India with Bush to visit their jobs?
Just wondering. The other day Bush said outsourcing to India is a good thing because pretty soon the larger middle class over there that is becoming larger mainly due to jobs sent from here to there will want to buy pizza and we could sell it to them.

I am thinking of going to nail down the mozarella market. If anyone is thinking of scoring on, say, pepperoni, maybe we could save a few bucks by sharing a room.

1. Actually, I'd like to go so I could meet Peter, the nice IT help desk guy
who helped me with my computer problems.

5. So some $7 p/h delivery guy is going to get into his 1989 Celica and...
deliver the pizza to Mumbai?

Idiot.

6. If we're going to be supplying their take-out pizza ...
... I guess the '30 Minutes or Free' thing will have to go.

And while they're working at our former jobs, can we pick up their dry-cleaning, shine their shoes, maybe wash their windshields for a quarter while they're on their way to the office?

I have a better idea. How about we KEEP the jobs, and THEY can have our Idiot president - free of charge, and we'll even throw in the cost of shipping and handling?

What a JERK!

10. Okay, let's be REALLY generous!
Also Rice, Gonzales, Scotty McC -- and of course, Karen Hughes. She's SUCH a fine diplomat, she can explain to them what a great package deal they're getting!

7. For those who might think I might be kidding about Bush's pizza comment
"The president, who is peddling a new initiative to improve U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace, said people shouldn't worry about this causing jobs to drift overseas and quipped, ``Young Indians are acquiring a taste for pizza from Domino's, Pizza Hut.''

11. We could swap him for a boiled turnip and come out ahead.
Make that a mentally challenged boiled turnip and we'd come out even.
