a lemon of an economy

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. But what if life gave you only one lemon and you're expected to use the same lemon over and over to make lemonade to survive.

I liked the skydiving analogy used at the top of the show. However, you left out the fact that all of the golden parachutes had been grabbed by the "first class" passengers and flight crew that "bailed out" safely and landed safe and sound without a care about who they left behind. The new Obama/Geithner crew are left behind to help us sew up the remaining parachutes and go two at a time out the door to lighten the load of worthless cargo left behind by the navigators that had a bad flight plan in the first place. I'm just hoping those of us that may still be in the plane without a parachute will have a safe landing. I hope Geithner has taken lessons from Capt. "Sully".

I was skeptical but I finally bought into the whole Daylight Savings Time and ended up losing an hour. Damn economy.

I was abducted by aliens the other day. Damn Mexicans.
