#1 I am starting to believe that these people believe that there is a ruling class and I don't like it. While everyones attention is on banks, the gulf spill, and will Timmy resign the assault on agriculture continues with the EPA and the FDIC the main attackers. If you thought $4 a gallon gas was bad wait until you buy the $10 Big Mack. Sorry, but this is the rantburg.

#3 I read it as a joke. East-coast humor can be a bit more "in your face". :-)

#4 Well, maybe he is. It sure beats being a dumbass, though, Sheriff Joe. (You'll have to trust me on that one, I know. Now shut up and eat yer custard.)

#5 There is a ruling class. What is changing is that the peasants are getting fed up with it's arrogance and incompetence.

#9 Biden wasn't "joking" he was speaking down to a lesser status individual who was guilty of "speaking truth to power", something Democrats always say, but really only mean for themselves. This isn't just personal arrogance, it is an established, fundamental sense of entitlement and superiority that finds criticism rude and inappropriate. His boss is much, much worse.....

#11 Imagine the extra work needed to bring the kitchen back up to code before the health inspecters show up.

Should have charged his ass just like any other customer.

#12 Good manager. He knows a free loader and a thief when he sees one.

No, there will not. The lefties may lose an election cycle or two but the dependent class they've created is already large enough to guarantee them victory in the long run.

#14 Can we expect the store manager to receive the full "Joe the Plumber" treatment from the media? And maybe a visit from the building or health inspector?

#15 The 'dependent class' make lousy cannon fodder. The inherit self interest, lack of initiative, and avoidance of challenge is a serious drawback in any confrontation or natural/man-made disaster.
