Freep historian....

[Bigmack]

Put my digital armor on tonite and went looking for whackiness over in freepville.

Didn't have to search much.

An AP article says that unemployment will bottom out in the first Q of 2010 and get better.
Lots of folks here on DU would say bullshit to that one, but freeps have such a fucked knowledge of history that they screw up their own argument.

These hopeful signs that have been publicized occasionally are starting to seem like the “prosperity is just around the corner” line Americans were fed over eight years during the New Deal.

Apparently RepublicanMeansAmerican didn't learn that "Prosperity is just around the corner." was Herbert Hoover's slogan... you remember Hoover?... the guy who presided over the crash and start of the Depression?... the one that FDR beat?

Jayzus!

2. That reminds me of all the 'corners' we were sold during the Bush

misadministration about Iraq. And about everything else during those eight years of hell.

<ALL>
Today we're living in a shanty
Today we're scrounding for a meal

<SOPHIE>
Today I'm stealing coal for fires
Who knew i could steal?

<MEN>
I used to winter in the tropics

<WOMEN>
I spent my summers at the shore

I used to throw away the paper--

<ALL>
We'd like to thank you: Herber Hoover
For really showing us the way
We'd like to thank you: Herbert Hoover
You made us what we are today

Prosperity was 'round the corner
The cozy cottage built for two
In this blue heaven
That you
Gave us
Yes!

We're turning blue!
They offered us Al Smith and Hoover
We paid attention and we chose
Not only did we pay attention
We paid through the nose.

In ev'ry pt he said "a chicken"
But Herbert Hoover he forgot
Not only don't we have the chicken
We ain't got the pot!
Hey Herbie

<WOMEN>
You left behind a greatful nation

<ALL>
So, Herb, our hats are off to you
We're up to here with admiration

<SOPHIE>
Come down and have a little stew

<ALL>
Come down and share some Christmas dinner
Be sure to bring the missus too
We got no turkey for our stuffing
We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover
For really showing us the way
You dirty rat, you Bureaucrat, you
Made us what we are today
Come and get it, Herb!
