Hey! I might have a new job!
They just replayed McCain's offer to pay anybody $50/hour to pick corn in Yuma for the entire season!

I'm sending off my resume now! Wish me luck!!

3. You know what I think?
If a few "thousand" people took him up on this, went down there and picked the corn, it would sure soak him for a lot of cash! Anyone around the area needs to get in touch with migrant workers who usually do that kind of work and let them all know McCain will pay them $50 an hour to pick corn. He did say anybody, didn't he? Could be intresting!

4. He said "Not just for one day, but for the entire season. You won't be
able to do it, my friends." Jerk.

And yes, he did say anybody.

10. Just a slight correction....
wasn't it picking lettuce? If it's corn, I want more money. ;-)

11. It might have been lettuce, but the thought of the BIG BUCKS kind of made
me have a mini out-of-body experience, so I could be wrong. We can strike once we get there. I'm sure he'll be receptive to our proposals.

5. For that little added touch, print your resume on a piece of cornhusk!

That'll really impress them!

16. Yup, let's start sending in resumes and forward them to the press.
President (Opps, I mean Senator) Obama, and maybe our own Representatives seeking employment at the "posted" wage of $50 an hour to pick McWorse's corn, cabbage, or whatever it is.

I few hundred will tun into millions. Tell anyone you know looking for work (or just a raise) to call McCain's bluff.
