They were playing that "Money, Money, Money . . . Money!" song at Semifreddi's this morning. As I stood in line for my latte and almond croissant one of the girls that worked there told her coworker: "Like the song says, money do change people."
Not having any myself, I would not know this from personal experience. But I'll take her word for it. I wonder if rich people even know the meaning of "living within their means"? It's a sentiment that has been echoing this nation, and especially throughout my office today as we laid off three more employees.
Our company, like many other small businesses won't get the benefit of the $7 billion bailout. But then again, it seems like the wealthy always get the perks. (Just like those bitches that get free designer dresses to walk down the red carpet with! You know who you are . . . Paris Hilton!)
I digress, the real issue here is not fucking "Joe the Plumber" who's real name is not Joe and who indeed is not even a real plumber. (He's actually an IRS delinquent who owes $1200 in back taxes.)
The economy sucks ass indeed. Thanks, Dubbya! It's great to see a president leave such an enduring legacy.
