I just had to post this song. I have not listened to the Dead Kennedys in a while. Just thought of them yesterday and re-heard this song. Its just sooooo appropriate considering today's economy and corporate culture. "Soup Is Good Food" We're sorry But you're no longer needed Or wanted Or even cared about here Machines can do a better job than you This is what you get for asking questions The unions agree 'Sacrifices must be made' Computers never go on strike To save the working man you've got to put him out to pasture Looks like we'll have to let you go Doesn't it feel fulfilling to know That you-the human being-are now obsolete And there's nothing in hell we'll let you do about it [Chorus] Soup is good food-(We don't need you any more) You made a good meal-(We don't need you any more) Now how do you feel-(We don't need you any more) To be shit out our ass And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash We're sorry You'll just have to leave Unemployment runs out after just six weeks How does it feel to be a budget cut? You're snipped You no longer exist Your number's been purged from our central computer So we can rig the facts And sweep you under the rug See our chart? Unemployment's going down If that ruins your life that's your problem Soup is Good Food, Etc. We're sorry We hate to interrupt But it's against the law to jump off this bridge You'll just have to kill yourself somewhere else A tourist might see you And we wouldn't want that I'm just doing my job, you know So say uncle And we'll take you to the mental health zoo Force feed you mind-melting chemicals Til even the outside world looks great In hi-tech science research labs It costs too much to bury all the dead The mutilated disease-injected Surplus rats who can't be used anymore So they're dumped (with no minister present) In a spiraling corkscrew dispose-all unit Ground into sludge and flushed away Aw geez:. Soup is good food You made a good meal, etc:. We know how much you'd like to die We joke about it on our coffee breaks But we're paid to force you to have a nice day In the wonderful world we made just for you "Poor Rats", we human rodents chuckle At least we get a dignified cremation And yet At 6:00 tomorrow morning It's time to get up and go to work

Stolen Joke: What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vender? "Make me one with everything."

Ahh lets see, ack its been a week. Man time flies. Okay lets see where we are at here. We had the fourth of July. It was okay hot, did not do much of anything at all, my mother-in-law visited. She just left yesterday. Ahhh funny story out of that. My mother-in-law has a co-worker, named Bill. She calls him cousin Bill though he is no relation, why she does it, no idea. Well about a year ago, my mother-in-law (that gets long if you keep typing it so lets call her MIL) tells us about an incident that happened with "cousin Bill." Apparently "cousin Bill" was trying to light a pile of brush on fire. He had put a few matches to it and it would not go. So next he tried some liter fluid. Still no go. So he emptied the contents of the liter fluid container into a pan. And then tossed the it on the somewhat smoldering brush. At which point there was a large ball of fire. "Cousin Bill" was burned, and put himself by running to a nearby pond. Well my MIL came back with another story of "cousin Bill" while she was up. He as well as her work for the state (state of Indiana that is), in a home heating efficiency type department. Basically they have work crews that go out and assist disadvantaged families in improving the insulation of their homes. Well Bill was working, and apparently had a bit of an accident, that caused him to go to the emergency room. He apparently cut himself with a saw, and it was pretty bad. He bled quite a bit and actually managed to slice into the bone. Now thats not funny at all. But it does make you wonder how exactly you go about doing that, with a HAND SAW. Yes a saw that is NOT electric, not powered at all, is simply a regular old HAND saw.
