«A joke for our times»

Från bloggen Decline of the Empire:

A joke is making the rounds which perfectly captures the spirit of America's decline.

An undocumented worker, a unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the Tea Party member and says, "Look out for those two... They want a piece of your cookie."

Yes, it's true—the victory of the obscenely wealthy owners of this country is nearly complete, and now they want you to fight over the table scraps.
