That’s not funny Barry.

Some have said that the stimulus hasn’t saved any jobs, but here is a case where at least one job was saved.
Take for instance Oregon State University Athletic Director
Bob DeCarolis.
Now Mr. DeCarolis was considering firing their
Basketball Coach…….
Craig Robinson
after an 8 -11 start (2-5) in the Pac 10 conference).
When word reached Washington ,
Undersecretary of Education
Martha Kanter
was dispatched to Corvallis with $17 million
in stimulus money for the university.
Thankfully, Craig Robinson’s job is
safe for another year
Now comes the interesting part of our story….
For those of you unfamiliar with
Coach Robinson,
he just so happens to be the brother in law
of none other than our country’s
beloved President,
NOW YOU’RE CATCHING ON……
that’s right he is the brother of
Michelle Obama!
But hey, can’t we all come to the conclusion
that Coach Robinson’s job security
was all just a coincidence?
I’m sure of it!
Aren’t You?
Thank Goodness For The Stimulus!!!
Damn tootin. Because any other conclusion would be… c’mon now class…
RACIST!!!!!

Ah; the sights, sounds and smells of summertime. Tropical resorts, mountain hideaways, waterparks and a tour boat cruise past the Kennedy Compound in Hayannis Harbor. BUT WAIT… there’s more. Video games for the elderly, stoned monkeys, snowmaking and, just for all of you hot babes, a study on Reducing Menopausal Hot Flashes Through Yoga. Sound stimulating? Well, folks; you don’t even need a reservation because you’re already signed up. This is how the Obowmao regime and the dimocrat Congress have decided to spend your 862 billion tax dollars to create jobs and stimulate the economy. Check out the colorful brochure and please post your comments as to your favorite amusement. These are just a few of the many attractions.

The Great Farm: Urban Forester Scores Job Measuring Barley Crop
Field Correspondent Bunk Strutts
Irvine, California (Strutts News Services, Opinion Section) –
Everyone knows that Urban Foresters are in great demand today (even though there is no such thing as an Urban Forest) and Tyler Stevenson is one who excels at his trade.
There are no forests or jungles within hundreds of miles of Irvine, California, so he gets to measure the height of a local field of barley, not just eyeball it. He measures it. And he gets paid to measure it with a tape measure and a cameraman in tow just to prove that he’s not exaggerating the growth.
Great Park workers have literally planted the seeds for the park’s first major round of construction, kicking off a $65 million development plan by attempting to reawaken more than 100 acres of once-fertile agricultural fields.
The sprouting of barley seeds planted just before the recent rainstorms marks the first stage in an agricultural plan that will eventually cost up to $1.4 million and encompass community gardens, a farmers market and rows of fresh-grown produce.
Maybe that’s just a typo. Maybe the “agricultural plan” will reap up to $1.4 million to offset $65 million, but remember, this was FRONT PAGE NEWS. No typos are ever allowed on the front page.
We were not able to contact Mr. Tyler Stevenson because we didn’t bother. We do not intend to disparage the integrity of Mr. Stevenson or the honorable legion of Urban Foresters (heh). But it seems silly to us that in pitiful economic times that the government, local or otherwise, should be getting into the farming business, and taking work away from the folks who need it the most: the illegal immigrant community.
