I damn near smoked a cigarette after reading this brilliant thread.

The best summation of the stupid, entitled, unthinking hypocrisy of the right that I I’ve ever read. I wish I’d written it. I’ll sure as hell share it!

1. I can think of more things to add.

I bet her grandfather went to college on the GI bill. Student loans for other family members.

Her family probably gets subsidy checks from the farm bill year after year after year.

Probably a lot more things.

[nolabear]

2. Oh yes, many, many more things.

[CrispyQ]

3. The original essay was titled A Day in the Life of Joe Conservative,

and it's been around for many years.

[nolabear]

5. Oh really? I'll look for it. Thanks.

7. It used to be posted very frequently on DU during the Bush years.

You could probably find old DU posts using Google.

8. Not necessary, it's the exact same thing as this with 'Joe' instead of 'Sue' (nt)

4. And oldie but goodie - I think I read the original during the Bush II administration,

maybe earlier.

[nolabear]

6. Crazy what's out there that I don't know about.

And I’m obsessive. But maybe I wasn’t so much in the Bush years. *sigh*

9. I remember one about liberals.

It accused us of using a hair drier before heading out to protest.

[calimary]

10. The female version!

There’s the “Day in the Life of Joe Republican,” too.

Kicking.

11. The *key* : "Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit"

The Lib pushing "rural electrification" : That would be LBJ (probably among others). Robert CARO's chapter on this in his LBJ biography (am still waiting for the last volume, on Vietnam) is brilliant. I resisted going for the lame pun, "electrifying"!1

12. great! I had never seen this before.... and I cracked up at your title

[Aimee in OKC]

13. It's based on an excerpt from an old article of Prof. D.J. Amy

"A Day In Your Life With Government"

It's worth checking out information elsewhere on that website. I've had it bookmarked for years.
