your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

Today, the present economy has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels and

I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, diminished savings,
Social Security, ruined retirement funds, immigration, etc . . . I called a Suicide Hot-line and 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
