Should members of the Clinton family be allowed to purchase multi-grain bread?

[Boojatta]

"Multi" leaves a lot to the imagination, but I'm guessing that we're talking about at least seven grains, and possibly nine or more grains.

An ordinary American starts eating a one-grain loaf of bread, and has to finish eating that loaf before thinking about eating even one additional grain. Meanwhile, the super-rich have already eaten half-a-dozen different grains before they have finished the first slice of bread! The super-rich can afford extravagances. However, the gap between the rich and poor is what leads to social upheaval.

1. No, they shouldn't. They should eat white bread. nt

[Whisp]

12. at least they shouldn't flaunt their storehouses of multi-grain

when loaves are getting scarce for so many.

[joe_sixpack]

2. Hell no!

and they'd better be buying day old bread too! :evilgrin:

[KamaAina]

3. Just Bill. It's good for his heart.

As for the rest of 'em, let 'em eat cake! :P

[slackmaster]

4. No. They should have to eat stale tortillas with cold refried beans.

:argh:

[readmoreoften]

5. Yes, a two million dollar snob wedding during a depression and multigrain bread are =.

Welcome to Introduction to Logic Class. It's called a faulty analogy.

[Boojatta]

8. They can afford to purchase multi-grain bread.

However, is this a good time for them to be making that kind of purchase?

[Spazito]

9. LOL, and getting outraged based on a spurious speculative article hit piece...

on the Clintons shows so much more Logic. A remedial class may be in order as to what logic is and how to use it.

[BlueIdaho]

13. Seems like someone's worried about their inheritance... nt.

[Sebastian Doyle]

6. They should be forced to live off of whatever food you can get with food stamps

Just like millions of Americans do, thanks to economic policies of the last 30 years, many of which came from the Clintons and their DLC friends.

[Ignis]

23. No, no-- this is supposed to be the happy, upbeat thread about the class divide!

:spank:

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Nope. White bread with peanut butter is enough extravagance.

Anything more than that is immoral.

[baldguy]

11. Peanut butter? Oh, LA-DI-DA!

They should only be allowed to have margarine! And the no-name store brand at that!

[MilesColtrane]

17. Indeed. Chelsea's wedding should be held in a shoebox in the middle of a lake.

Anything more would be disgusting.

Eric Idle: Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine?

MP: Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.

GC: A cup ' COLD tea.

EI: Without milk or sugar.

TG: OR tea!

MP: In a filthy, cracked cup.

EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.

GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.

TG: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.

MP: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness."

EI: 'E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof.

GC: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!

TG: You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!

MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.

EI: Well when I say "house" it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpaulin, but it was a house to US.

GC: We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!

TG: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.

MP: Cardboard box?

TG: Aye.

MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!



GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!

TG: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.

EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."

MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.

ALL: Nope, nope..

[jah the baptist]

20. you just made my sick bedridden day nt

[Statistical]

25. Thanks. You litterally made me LOL.

I think it scared/confused me wife.

That bit perfectly sums up these outrage threads.

[taterguy]

10. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[DevonRex]

14. Oh, that's waayy to extravagant. Day-old white. That's it. nt

[McCamy Taylor]

15. Yes, because increased spending by the rich is good for the economy.

Think of all the oat, barkey and rye farmers who will benefit. What would be sad is if they bought Rainbow white and squirreled their money away in a Swiss bank account.

[petronius]

16. Precisely - with multi-grain, a whole host of grain farmers benefit, whereas if they

bought simple white bread all the money would go to some immense corporate wheat farm. Actually, I think we should amend the Constitution to say that the Clintons may only buy multigrain...

[McCamy Taylor]

18. I agree. And I want to amend it to say my neighbor can not play his stereo so loudly.

This new law should not apply to folks in general, just my neighbor. Didn't the Tom Delay Congress break new ground in passing laws that applied to individual persons? Some woman on a feeding tube in Florida?

[petronius]

19. Anyone who objects to your perfectly reasonable law is clearly a terrorist

[Bonobo]

21. Comparing gaudy displays of wealth to food.

Stupidest OP ever.

[Boojatta]

26. When I go to a wedding, they always tell me to bring my own food.

However, I agree that it's annoying when a bride and groom decide to impress the guests by dancing around carrying stock certificates and gold coins.

[ncteechur]

22. What a waste of a post.

[LAGC]

24. Boojatta, please stick to your interesting religious threads.

It's more becoming of you.

Thank you.
