This is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. From Alexa Shrugged:
Via Ace of Spades and UK Guardian - Alvin Greene, the crazy jobless guy running for Senate in South Carolina has ideas on how to create jobs:
"Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That's something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It's not something a typical person would bring up. That's something that could happen, that makes sense. It's not a joke."Now, before you laugh (and I'm assuming the reporter was laughing and that's why Greene said, "It's not a joke.") is that any crazier than current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi saying that sending checks to the unemployed is one of the fastest ways to create jobs?
She's right. One is just about as crazy as the other, but the visual you get in your head with Alvin Greene's idea is much more amusing. If crazy ideas that will just keep us in the same crummy current job situation can be amusing, that is.
