"make the pie bigger"

Sigh...and if you make the pie bigger, the 1% will still get the 99% of the pie. Percentages...how do they work?

But hey...let's play with this idea. Say we could make the pie bigger. Have you ever tried to eat a slice of pizza from a really big pie? The slices are hard to manage and you stand a good chance of spilling steaming hot sauce on your crotch. Not my first choice for an economic model.

(although fuck all...now I want pizza)

Now see...this is probably one of the main reasons I hang out here.

Wonkette: I came for the political discourse, but I stayed for the Firesign Theater references.

And of course, this brings me to an obligatory musician joke:

What's the difference between a pizza and a guitarist?

A pizza can feed a family of four.

I would agree to the proposal on 2 conditions:

1) It's the greasiest, crappiest, cardboard pizza you can find (call up some college kids, they'll tell you where the cheap-ass pizza is at).

2) You can eat your fill, but afterwards there will be a 3-hour speech by the President. No bathroom breaks will be provided.

Is there a good food to use as a metaphor for the economy?

Please tell me that is a joke. Nobody could have hair like that.

Since when is an RNC chair making straw-man arguments news?

I'd like to order the Kenyan Muslim Deep Dish special (Chicago gangsta style) with the Socialist sauce and extra ACORN topping

Italians invented pizza because they socialized medicine to pay for its consequences. So, Reincey, shouldn't Barry and company be having some all-American hamburgers....no, wait, they should have Frankfurt--goddamnit, how about some Wisconsin-style bratwurst?
