Let them eat . . . popcorn?

Sen. President Mike Waddoups on the economy:

"I prefer to look on the bright side. Things aren't as gloomy as some would have us believe," Waddoups said. "Revenues are down a little, but we can still eat, we can have homes, we have health care, we have color TV … and most still have jobs."

Really, we have color TV? Vice President Cheney warned about being the Party of Hoover. He needn't have worried. Apparently, they are the Party of Marie Antoinette.
