This one should be booted too! "I may have sent this interview (below) to you last year. It was done last August with Pete Stark (D-CA), who represents the Fremont area near San Francisco.

The video pretty much speaks for itself.

My comments are these:

• Pete Stark is clearly a space alien, placed into our midst in a clever ploy to obfuscate and confuse the population.
• Space aliens are obviously arrogant.
• Space aliens obviously cannot add, subtract, multiply or divide.
• Space aliens learned their economics from the back of a box of Corn Flakes.
• If this is what passes for economic understanding in the Congress, then we are clearly doomed.

And - you'll love this - he is a member of the Ways and Means committee, which writes the tax code.

Amen."
