    Young vets joining unemployment lines

    WASHINGTON Young veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are having a harder time finding a job than their peers who didn't serve in the military.

    We Amuricuns love our troops.

    To show how much we love them we put big yellow magnetic "ribbons," or foxy camouflage ones, on the backs of our trendy, gas guzzlin; Chevy Suburban Tahoe Ford Expeditions, right up next to our red, white and blue Bush Cheney bumper stickers, the candidates we support so we can kick some AaaaRab ass and not feel so afraid all the time and still never have to think, and have more wars for resources while we whittle away at veterans benefits and rape and pillage the economy so there is less opportunity and growing income inequality for those who typically do the fighting.

    Slap on a magnet. That's all the political action you ever need to take. That and tithing at the local Calvinist tabernacle of warrior Jesus.
