I recieved my check and I dutifully raised my right hand and said my new version of the Pledge of Allegiance-

" I pledge allegiance to the flag , of the nation falling apart under W, who would have thought he could do so much damage so quick. The rest of the world already hates us. $300.00 don't pay the rent for my cramped studio apartment. I 'd rather have a Rhodes Scholar who couldn't keep it in his pants than a village idiot who doesn't care about fiscal responsibilty. I wonder how much Gates or Trump can expect , it must be nice not to have to worry about Socail Security. Amen , whatever."
