Hey, I know.
Let's elect a Democratic president, then he will tax all our problems away. If that doesn't work, he can close down all those Big ol' oil companies that are the source of all this pollution. Then we can ride to work in our windmill powered cars, to our water powered computers. But dress warm, because the wood pile is running low.
If the wind is not blowing, we can hire some of those unemployed illegals to pedal us to work in their rickshaws.
We in the US will now be safe from those terrorist and war mongers across the pond, unless they learn to walk on water, but our friends over there will just have to fend for themselves.
This will leave us plenty of time to cultivate our backyard gardens, and gather the crop before next years blizzard that Poor Richard's Almanac has predicted. Also remember to dig out your root cellar early, and keep those smoke house hams coming.
Grandma should have her spinning wheel working by the time grandpa picks all the cotton. I know, they're 90 now, but they do need the exercise. Oh, how they do go on, about the good old days, but they were real Democrats back then and could take it.
