Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the Louisiana National Guard, got called up to active duty. Boudreaux's first assignment was in a military induction center. Because he was a good talker, they assigned him the duty of advising new recruits about government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled. The officer in charge soon noticed that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign-up rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI insurance, for which Boudreaux earned a handsome commission. This was remarkable, because it cost these low-income recruits $60.00 per month for the higher coverage, compared to what the government was already providing at no charge. The officer decided he'd sit in the back of the room at the next briefing and observe Boudreaux's sales pitch. Boudreaux stood up before the latest group of inductees and said, "If you haf da normal GI insurans an' you go to Afghanistan an' get youself killed, da governmen' hava pay Momma two tousan dollar. But if you take out da supplemental insurans, which cost you only sixy dollar a mons, den da governmen' got ta pay you Momma two hunder tousand dollar!! "Now you tell me", Boudreaux concluded, "which bunch you tink dey gonna send ta Afghanistan first?"

I feel like I live in the Mirror Universe from Star Trek.
And I hate those episodes!
The ones that like DuhWon are getting handouts.
Obama's administration makes me feel ill. Nothing will change that until seeing him voted out of office in 2012.
Brooke: The DS9 Mirror Universe episodes weren't so bad.
Where is Obama when he's not at a basketball game or on a very expensive vacation with the Chief of Food police?
Debonair,
He's trying to score something to smoke while he's on that golf course in Suitland, MD.
