Did you notice that her Suzerainship wants everybody on foodstamps in New M. to work for their food…twenty hours a week? I sure didn’t. That’s half time at Mcjobs. All these damn foodstompers will have to get airjobs in the wonderful Albuquerque airjob market and work half of their waking and sleeping hours for their airfood. That’s what her Susership proposes. That’s why she wants to be governor again. It’s the vision thing.

I think all these cutbacks on these useless eater programs are just dandy. We save a ton of dough. I do hope you all have your death insurance packets, so the evil government that is we the people don’t have to pay for your, you know, burial and stuff like that, I mean in the event of your untimely demise due to gang violence, rape, robbery, drive-bys, murder-by-cop and stuff like that.
