Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Right. Remember children, no matter how bad some people have it, that doesn't mean you can't complain about the perils of
bourgeoisdom.
I was in the lunchroom at work, watching the destruction of New Orleans with hushed horror when one of my Konservative workmates comes in. Well, one of the partners really, i.e., a boss. And what came next was straight out of Scrooge Illustrated.

"Are you saving up for higher insurance rates?"
"Uh, no. Geez, the whole city's flooded. Doesn't look to good."
"You and I'll be paying for that, in higher taxes and higher insurance premiums."
I was sorta blind-sided. Yes, I know this guy is a Republican, but I figured the dead and injured, not to mention ruined homes and wrecked lives, would automatically cause even an elephant's heart to grow three sizes. I was tragically mistaken.
"I thought the plan these days was to just borrow the money from our kids."
"Borrow insurance premiums," he said somewhat surprised.
"No - taxes. We don't pay taxes these days - the current regime just borrows the money." That seemed to take care of that ass-hattery.
"Well, all the Muslims in the middle east are cheering this on. Makes them pretty happy."
WTF????? Let's see - dead people, injured people, a CATASTROPHE but the only thing he's worried about is his G-- D--- insurance payments.
He continued to blather -- more stuff about how we're gonna pay for the mess, yadda yadda yadda . . . . I strangely hear mechanical breathing and "Luke, I am your father." You get the picture.
What on earth is wrong with these people? How can someone who is essentially RICH think of the extra few hundred dollars per year they'll have to spend on insurance when people are dead and lives are ruined? What kind of moral compass do these people have? Have they bothered to read a Bible lately? I guess the only conclusion is that they simply do not care about anything other than themselves and their own families. And their filthy f----n' lucre - never forget the $. Unfortunately, the Good People of America have let them run the country. Good job, Lobotomites!
