T-U-R-T-L-E Power

This might just be the best argument for increasing the minimum wage that I’ve heard yet:



It’s just not fair that Michelle needs to go deep in hock to “feed her Ninja Turtle obsession,” is it? Well, maybe such an “obsession” leads to making poor economic decisions, but to each her own I guess. How sad.

In related news, the newest TNMT movie is set for release on March 23, 2007.

    In this case, it seems that increasing the minimum wage would be like giving lots of free crack to a junkie.

    That was terribly sad.

    Given that you revel in human misery, I thought you’d like that.

    It’s people like this that give reveling in human misery a bad name...

    Kinda like American Idol, except at least American Idol gives people the chance to be shaken from their illusions and brought back to reality.

    As Augustine intimates, we are that much less able to be healed when we think we are not in need of healing.

    Look, I don’t revel in human misery.

    Well, maybe just a little.

    But really, that was just terribly, terribly sad.

    Wait, you said “increasing the minimum wage?” Shouldn’t it read “eliminating the minimum wage?”

    But then wouldn’t she just use her Welfare check to buy TMNT gear?
