Shovel Ready Graves

First time unemployment claims soared 551,000 this week, with more Obama prosperity sure to follow. Obama promised shovel-ready jobs as if we were still a grand agrarian economy as we were at the time of the Great Depression. The vast majority of those doing construction and road work in my neck of the woods have been Hispanic illegal aliens for the past decade- not boys fresh off the farm, ready for hard physical labor who instead today sit behind video game screens and have never lifted a hand tool. But there is work being done, Americans are dying at unprecedented levels in Afghanistan as mission objective and tempo increase while rules of engagement remain restrictive. Obama is indecisive as to tactics and strategy there when decision is called for, so Obama dallies and more graves are dug. Add to this the pending rationed public option care scheme, and our cemeteries will be hiring. Sadly, the funeral directors will have plenty of work.
