#1. You're a CEO, just paid off the guv and can get a bonus of $200M plus give your employees a few $1M bones to chew on.
#2. You're in Congress and have a limo to drive you to Walter Reed for all medical conditions.
#3. Your lobbyist just wrote favorable legislation to your rent a Senator(s) and it only cost $250M when you can gain hundreds of millions of dollars from a loophole.
#4. You gave your driver a $10,000 tip to do your Christmas shopping for you, but not at WalMart.
#5. You're a professor, the semester is over and you're planning a sabbatical to study the outrageous benefits received by union members.
#6. You're an angry liberal and the health care bill you have been crusading for is gutted and/or delayed for passage until 2010 so now you still have plenty to bitch about, giving your life renewed meaning.
Well, at least they used a Thinkpad in their video, which has been known as the "quality at any price" solution. They could have used a Dell out of spite / cheapness, but chose IBM/Lenovo instead.
While I dont exactly agree with the Reason Foundation, at least I'm willing to find something good about it.
#7. Your religion, Global Warming, sorry, "Climate Change" has been exposed as nothing more than the deranged ranting of a D student on whose advice you've filled your home with mercury laden light bulbs.
