Lowe's cartoon in todays (3/7) paper was, as usual, sharp and to the point. It depicts Governor Bush as a know it all that decided to divert tax money from needy kids to greedy kin.
While enjoying it, an old joke came to mind:
It is an old Jewish custom to say some nice things about the deceased during burial services. However, when an obnoxious politician died, no one volunteered. The Rabbi, conducting the service, asked if anyone has something to say. The silence was long and embarrasing. Finally a member of the Congregation stood up and said:
"We all knew the deceased. He was arrogant, incompetent and irresponsible. He never kept his promises to the people who elected him. He took away needed help from needy people, and gave tax breaks to the very rich. He disregarded referendums approved by the majority, and appointed incompetent cronies to high positions. But you know what -- his brother is worse."3/7/06 (SS)
