Right: This is your business on government bailouts.

Any questions?

   I first thought of it as Ford on the left and GM on the right

   Government in business is like putting udders on a male cougar. He might give milk but you’ll die before you get to drink it.

   That one on the right is thinking…

   “I don’t know how long I can keep this up!!”

   (…or that he needs a vacation.)

   The government will milk it dry too.

   I’m trying to think of a “more cowbell” joke but not getting very far.

   Notice how the flying cow is a quick study. Good form.

   As one of the last proud Mid Atlantic herford farmers, I should be offended… But then again my Chicken-Of-The-Sea did have a much more robust taste back before it was dolphin free.

    If the dolphin really represented Ford it would have several hundred pounds of weight captioned “Unions & Feds” attached to it.

    Yesterday a tornado passed over our house but didn’t touch down.
    This afternoon I repaired our backyard fence. (It only took 8 hours, $62 worth of stuff from Home Depot, and a lot of sweat).
    Tonight I feel more like the dolphin than the cow.
    Maybe it’s a Zen thing.

    Well at least it isn’t pork.

    Bailouts isn’t the word. Banks have been FORCED to take the TARP money and sign over partial ownership or they wouldn’t even be allowed to leave the room. Smoking gun: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2009/05/023557.php?format=print

    5 of 7: Did you have any flying cows land on your property because of that tornado? It has been known to happen, I guess.

    And RedManInBlueMaryland, I know what you mean about Herfords. My folks used to raise ‘em and I’d feed ‘em corn stalks at the fence back in the 70′s. They all had names that started with “C” but we ate them anyway. “Clarence” was particularly good for his steaks, as I recall. So, there’s no shame in seeing one fly as depicted above.

    Thanks for the link, Anniee. I was wondering why I saw a federal worker buring a copy of the U.S. Constitution on a street corner last night.

    Burning, burying, does it really matter? How long until a “right wing extremist” is caught setting fire to the Reichstag, er, excuse me, Congress?

    Mark, it was probably the original.
