Palin inspires Americans to quit their jobs

[Control-Z]

'Inspired by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who on Friday announced her surprise resignation, thousands of Americans are now quitting their jobs, telling their bosses they've had enough with mean co-workers, long hours, or whatever else comes to mind.'

"Who can blame her?" said Wendy Phillips, a 46-year-old nurse in Baltimore. "I'm tired of my job, too. I hate my co-workers and I'm sick of whiny patients always complaining about their problems."'

'Bert Matthews, 58, and a chief executive of a major New York City brokerage, said he can relate to Palin. "I hate my job so much, plus there are so many more fun things I want to do with my life," he told AlaskaDispatch.com. "This fish wants to swim to the ocean!"'

'Still, Palin's words may be doing more damage than good. Economists worry that the soon-to-be ex-governor is spawning a revolt against one of society's most fundamental institutions: work. It's a movement that's so potentially powerful that it could destroy the already-weakened economy.'

If by any chance this were true it seems like it would open up jobs for the unemployed. Then, we could say that Sarah had (inadvertently) done something good at least once in her life.

Sure you may live to be 87, but those last several years are just coasting, wasting time and money.

So come on e'rybody, gather round this here big vat of grape koolaid.....
