- ONLY ONE GOVERNMENT AGENCY?: “WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not just the American dollar that’s losing value. A government agency has decided that an American life isn’t worth what it used to be.” [AP]

I will buy your American life for six pesos.
Meanwhile, one American’s life is still worth roughly 23,284 Iraqi lives.
How does this translate to the value of my whore diamonds?
Overloard Cheney edited this report of course. In fact, that lost million is probably in his Bank account.
Maybe Americans can sell their kidneys to the Chineese for gas money.
Eventually the cost of US American lives will come down enough that Soylent Green will become cheap enough to be a viable food source.
[re=33141]Paultardville[/re]: Oddly, Wonkette is the first result when you attempt to use Google’s built-in currency converter by typing “1 AMERICAN LIFE in WHORE DIAMONDS.”
I smell a conspiracy.
There goes that blasted EPA again trying to get past the Execs. Silly EPA.
And George throws his hand in the air saying “Goodbye from the worlds biggest asshole.”
Think I’ll “cash in” the guy in the next office. I need the scratch.
As much as our lives have been de-valued, they’re worth even less in pounds and Euros. ‘effin, snooty Europeans.
If this were a blind item, I’d say FEMA.
Where can we cash this in for Lottery tickets and gas?
I always thought I was overvalued.
[re=33171]RaptorAvatar[/re]: FEMA, good point. They have those 800 camps to store us, until the market is more liquid.
Just like a nickle ain’t worth a dime anymore.
but how do those figures translate in to Ameros?
Is that one agency the Department of Defense?
[re=33153]Larry Fine[/re]: The way things are going, your whole life will be worth a fillup in a couple of months.
The American dream: work hard, scrimp and save – one day you too can own a slave!
If you do the math, we’ve killed at least $585 billion worth of Iraqi civilians. At the rate things are going, we probably could have just bought them out individually.
the article fails to mention that as a woman youre only worth $2,760,000…
which works out to something under a hundred dollars a day based on average life expectancy…
sounds about right…certainly my boss thinks so..
[re=33230]anabellum[/re]: Oh boo ho. Hundred dollars a day? The average human being on Planet Earth lives on $27 per day.
[re=33230]anabellum[/re]: Is that with or without the burkka? No burkka? Used goods. Reduce price by 15% immediately.
[re=33245]jagorev[/re]: Is that the average human being in general, like including men/women or is that just men or just women?
[re=33230]anabellum[/re]: Yeah, it’s bad for women. But what about the olds? Most of Congress and the Cabinet is depreciated out. In theory, undie-preciated infants should be worth the most, but they come with on-going maintenance costs. So, the highest value might in recent college grads with no work experience.
Of course Michael Raegan will pay you to kill an American commie, so that’s attaching value to the lack of a life…Michael Raegan’s.
Reagan? Raygun? Ryegum? Arugulum?
[re=33245]jagorev[/re]: the figure im more familiar with is that half the world lives on less than 2 dollars a day…..but ya know what?…the figures in the article are for americans…and anyone who only makes 27 dollars day in this country lives on the street…
beyond that…i meant it as a joke as the figures are obviously BS…sorry it didnt translate…
[re=33314]anabellum[/re]: thinking perhaps i should add… ‘nudge, nudge, wink, wink’…to some of my posts…
The problem is that that one agency is the Defense Department.
[re=33247]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: with burkka ie…pantyhose…
[re=33194]Godless Liberal *[/re]: [re=33331]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: HAH! You too have jinxed each other, and I have called “jinx” on you…
Sad life I lead…
[re=33153]Larry Fine[/re]: I suspect that lots of Asian sex tourists would like to try blondes with big boobs, black girls with booty, etc. DC can be the new Bangkok!
[re=33207]AxmxZ[/re]: My definition of a conservative is, someone who wants to own slaves again.
Jim Newell,
Yeah, the EPA is probably the agency best suited for determining the value of a human life. I expect the General Accounting Office to come up with a different figure. Has inflation been figured into the EPA’s formula?
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr-Clark
