Simpsons? Huh. Never would have guessed. (Not a regular watcher.) Still sounds very Nightfall to me.

“Although, if you visit the only CostCO in NYC, on Vernon Blvd next to the East River in Queens, they are a doable walk from two of the toughest projects in NYC, Queensbridge and Ravenswood houses. I’ve been to that Costco, and watched the same CostCo card clear out like 12 wagons of groceries with different people pushing them.”

Of course that does nothing for poor families in the rest of New York City, who aren’t going to have the money for the membership and even if they did, can’t get to Costco without a long subway/bus ride with a cart full of groceries.

Either way, Hillary will do little more for them than McCain.

Enlightened, I said she had til next Wednesday to figure out how to strecth that $13.78 to a $50 fill-up as an example of the challenges facing most working-class Americans.

I think you challenged my knowledge of the cost of a gallon of milk, and I used my CostCo shopping as an example of my intimate knowledge of essential commodity prices.

I never said that working mother should go to CostCo! You guys make me laugh.

Although, if you visit the only CostCO in NYC, on Vernon Blvd next to the East River in Queens, they are a doable walk from two of the toughest projects in NYC, Queensbridge and Ravenswood houses. I’ve been to that Costco, and watched the same CostCo card clear out like 12 wagons of groceries with different people pushing them.

I’ve been and worked in NYC’s worst neighborhoods, and in Alabama from Mobile to Huntsville, and in South Carolina from Columbia to Greenville. I know poor families, and I know better than to parody them.

Wellstone: “We know how well THAT Economist’s advice worked out.”

Yes… let’s burn down the observatory so this never happens again! Good call.

I’m worried about this Rush Limbaugh “Operation Chaos” –
With Bush’s administration not that popular right now –
What if a Vote for Hillary is…. a Vote for Hillary? HELP!!!!

Wellstone, you are forgetting that our idealistic poor mother just had the transmission drop out of her car at a cost of about $2,000 because she just drove over a manhole-sized pothole that was never filled because we diverted highway funds to pay for a naked pander. It’s ok. The work was going to be done by some undeserving low education construction worker who will now be free to be more bitter and buy into the next political pander.

“I said she had $13.78 in her purse. Now she’ll have a little more.”

Earlier, you said she was trying to fill a $50 tank with that $13.78. If she buys milk instead, how does she get to Costco for those great deals? Walk?

Mambo, I think you’re half right. He’s a liberal but is neutral or supports Obama. Some of the posts are too over the top to be anything but parody.

Wellstone, it is only an elitist that shops at Costco. The poor, downtrodden single mother that you speak of can’t afford the $50 membership fee, and she doesn’t have the money for gas to drive all the way to Costco to save $2 on milk. Most Costco’s aren’t in small town America. You’re out of touch with middle America.

So, wait! You’re a Coastal elitist and you’re not for Obama? WTF? I thought that was the rule.

I said she had $13.78 in her purse. Now she’ll have a little more.

In NYC where I live, even though I’m a member of the French-speaking, Veuve-Clicquot-drinking Elite upper crust, I will still go to my local CostCo and buy a gallon of milk for $2.98 instead of paying $4.99 at my local grocer.

I am also a Liberal Budget Hawk.

Wellstone: Ya, now she can also afford to pay for a gallon of milk on the way home from the gas station.

Today. She could afford (maybe) to get that gallon of milk today. And next week she’ll be back to SOL unable to afford milk or gas.

But, hey, next week is after the election and what does Hillary care about any longer term solution than what would get her in office?

So wellstone, a gallon of milk costs $1.10? Now whose out of touch?

Hmmm. Mambo, you don’t get around much, do you?

For a true measure of teh Stupid, I challenge you to visit Townhall.com

Now THAT is some world-class Stupid, right there. I usually shake my head in a place of sincere awe.
