[socialist_n_TN]

engage in class war. :)

[Pooka Fey]

7. The rich have their life boat but the rest are going down with the ship

There was only one lifeboat and they got it.

[NYC_SKP]

12. And WE fuckin' built it. 100% of it made of our blood sweat and tears.

That's OUR lifeboat.

Fuckers.

x(

[jwirr]

17. Might have been more lifeboats but I think they put a hole in them. nt

[Jim Warren]

25. Exactly right

It's not enough get saved, you must drown.

[awoke_in_2003]

22. just like the Titanic...

the "important" people always seem to make it.

[coalition_unwilling]

8. As MasterCard might say, "Priceless!" - n/t

[Sherman A1]

60. Agreed

:toast:

[Greybnk48]

9. Life boat ethics. But in London, the people are

questioning the wealthy's claim that the boat's theirs by birthright. And good for them for doing so! I regret the looting and the violence, but sometimes that's the only way to get heard.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

64. Are you there?

They're not looting from just the wealthy. They're looting and burning down shops and housing in poor and working class neighborhoods. You have absolutely no clue of whats going on.

[global1]

10. I Wonder Who Is Rearranging The Deck Chairs?.......nt

[Kalidurga]

13. Rearanging the deck chairs???

They aren't even pretending to care anymore, they are just throwing the chairs overboard.

[999998th word]

61. -The stupid GOTP still think they will be on the lifeboats too.

Yeah keep on gloating 'we win'--MORANS.
You will be talking out of the other side of your mouth when one of your parents cannot get long term care after a debilitating illness and the medical bills wiped them out.

You are paying 10X more for your water because Veolia has bought-the municipal water treatment plant on a no bid contract.

You have to pay exorbitant tolls for the use of the roads and bridges that the government used to maintain, but again,traded them away to private corps to 'maintain' .

Your kids futures are determined by an education system that was prepared to serve a private agenda. God knows what is in your food....Housing becomes unaffordable.

Your healthcare and that of your family is flat out unaffordable, and when you get old you are determined to be a 'useless eater',if you live that long,-pension nonexistent.

May you never have the misfortune of becoming disabled,for any reason, after being unable to work,-be an active producer and taxpayer, no longer able to contribute

to the GDP. you will be toast..

Yeah how is that 'Americans for Prosperity' thingy gonna be working for you now ??

[Stuart G]

[WillyT]

:kick:

[wakemewhenitsover]

23. Perfect. ty for posting. n/t

[Dem2theMax]

24. I don't know why, but sometimes when someone posts a photo, jpg, whatever, on here, I can't see it.

Can someone provide a link? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[klook]

31. Here you go

i.imgur.com/HT8pi.png

Copy that into your browser address field. If it doesn't work, paste http:// before that (without the space between the slashes, which I can't get rid of).

Hope that helps!

[Dem2theMax]

56. That did the trick! Thank you so much.

I really appreciate the kindness. :)

[pengillian101]

49. self delete

[highplainsdem]

26. K&R

[TBF]

27. k&R nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. That is a must have

[eleny]

29. an instant classic

[trof]

30. Could have been from 1929.

[SpiralHawk]

32. Rub a dub dub - three repubs in a tub

Indulging as the people sink beneath the crapstorm the republicons created

[FailureToCommunicate]

33. Certainly a 'night to remember' (in 2012)

[Habibi]

34. That's an awfully small boat

and those are awfully fat "survivors." If they aren't rescued soon, they, too, will go down. The champagne and cigars will certainly not sustain them. Perhaps they will have to choose lots, and one of them will be eaten.

[Pryderi]

44. Seriously. It should be a slightly smaller, gold-plated yacht.

[NBachers]

35. Stunning!

[PhoenixAbove]

36. K&R - Thanks for posting n/t

[KoKo]

37. Good One! K&R

Freaking Fabulous! Rec

[defendandprotect]

40. KR

[Bozita]

41. Yup ...

[Major Hogwash]

42. Wow, you are so right.

Incredible.

I'm going to buy that issue.

[Bette Noir]

43. Darn. I couldn't find a link to the Roy Zimmerman tune

that refers to the Repubs "on the end of the ship that's rising, as the other end goes down."

[rhett o rick]

45. Is Obama on the ship or in the lifeboat? nm

[Raine]

58. Politicians are ALWAYS on the lifeboat. nt

[november3rd]

46. Cigar

The cigar smoke is a very sharp touch.

[Brigid]

48. Best. magazine. cover. ever.

That is all.

[realFedUp]

50. When the three tubbies find out no one's going to rescue them again....

Maybe they'll have to eat each other to survive.

[pnorman]

51. Thanks! I'll use that!

[alfredo]

52. Knr

[Union Thug]

53. Same as it ever was... nicely done...

now if only there were a torpedo heading for that life boat...

[SusanaMontana41]

54. How many words is a picture worth in this economy? n/t

[Rex]

55. Funny! I doubt most people get the joke!

[Raine]

57. WOW, how PERFECT this

pretty much says it all!! :applause:

[Turbineguy]

59. In reality

the oligarchs are on the ship while the rest of us are in the sinking lifeboats.

[PCIntern]

62. Not to mention the fact that a weekly magazine costs $6.00...

I recall buying TV Guide for 15 cents and mags like this for 50-60 cents...we've come a (disproportionately) "long way"...

[liberal N proud]

63. It does portray the situation.

[Roger Floyd]

65. Wow.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. :(
