1. Tee hee! You tell 'im, John!

[kimchi]

2. Bake sales and lemonade stands! Haha!

"If we only included bake sales and how much money kids make at lemonade stands, this economy would really be cooking," Edwards said in a statement

[Jim Sagle]

3. What's neat is that the Freepers will ALSO rate it a 5 -

because they believe it. ;)

[RobertSeattle]

4. Dont' forget monopoly game winnings!

[Jim Sagle]

9. And yard sales and flea markets! Woo hoo!

[pacalo]

17. This article shows Cheney's ignorance: E-bay is an online flea market. :)

6. I love this line:

"If we only included bake sales and how much money kids make at lemonade stands, this economy would really be cooking," Edwards said in a statement.

7. Go get 'em, John!

8. Come to think of it we aren't....

Come to think of it why don't we count drug sales, and trafficking in flesh and stolen goods...man - everywhere you look there's money in this economy.

Sure, we have a way to go to catch up with Russia, but hey we are on the road to economic recovery.

10. So you have to sell everything you own to make the rent on Ebay,

you are contributing to the economy.

[LuCifer]

Edit: the 2 reports site poor planning, misplaced priorities and violence. Where did the billions of dollars go?

[Vickers]

15. Holy shit, this just might be the "UPC scanner code kiss-of-death"

for them!

Remember when it was reported that Bush I was in a grocery store, and he was amazed at the UPC scanners? Couldn't believe it?

Sure, it was later debunked, but lemme tellya, I knew a whole SHITLOAD of folks who voted against Bush I because it symbolized how out of touch he was with OUR live.

Cheney thinks the economy can be supported by folks selling Beanie Babies on eBay!!!

[kohodog]

16. You can't make this stuff up!!

I needed a laugh tonight. These guys are surreal!

[gatorboy]

18. Maybe those people are on Ebay...

Because Bush's buddies outsourced their fucking jobs!!!
