New Treasury Secretary Clearly Unfamiliar With Ecclesiates 10:11
The new guy’s kinda… weird, don’t you think?
Henry Paulson Jr., the chairman and chief executive of Goldman Sachs, likes snakes.
“I like to hold them and look at them,” the banker and amateur herpetologist once told an interviewer.
Environmentalist and a snake-handler. This guy’s not long for this administration.

A "dedicated bird watcher" who also likes to "handle snakes"?
Hmmm. Tweety bird better watch his ass.
Joe Red State , of course, is hopelessly fucked.
Maybe in 10 years Joe will realize that Bush has paid for the tax cuts for the superrich by backing tractor trailer trucks up to the Social Security Administration and hauling out big bundles of cash.
