better then mine


 yup i lost

not even close
400 folks entered

 one winner and these alsos

by the way the winner 
is wildly  stale 
and 
i can't copy the copy 


starting gun sounds)
 "And they're off!" 
(galloping sfx) 
"Out of the chute it's...
Americanworker, Americanworker 
gets off to a good start,
 followed by the late entry Sweatshop.
 They're nearing the first turn
 and it's Sweatshop the Chinese entrant
 gaining fast on Americanworker... 
it looks like Walmart yes Walmart
 is helping Sweatshop 
pursue Americanworker ...I...
I'm not sure 
but it looks like Bush 
the jockey on Americanworker's back 
is reining his horse
 in I I can't believe it!
 Bush is actually whipping 
American worker
 AND holding him back 
as they head down 
the back straitaway!
 The three leaders Americanworker,
 Sweatshop and Walmart 
head around the final turn!!
 Bush is still holding
 Americanworker back 
while flogging him FEROCIOUSLY!!

 Walmart and Sweatshop take 
the lead heading around 
the final turn! 
I think that I see 
the jockeys atop Walmart
 and Sweatshop holding HANDS!
 Yes... They're gonna take it folks,
 Sweatshop and Walmart 
are going to win! 
Jockeys Neil Bush and Dick Cheney 
are patting one another on the back 
as they cross the finish line
 and VICTORY for Sweatshop and Walmart
 as American worker
 won't be able to finish the race. 

Jockey George Bush 
climbs off the fallen Americanworker
 with a shrug and a smile 
but The cheers from the Congress 
gathered in the sky boxes 
tell him all is forgiven 
for running Americanwoker 
to the ground. 
That's the way it ends folks
, Sweatshop and Walmart are first and second 
in the Innaugural Race 
for the Bottom derby!" 
"Not funny? PurpleOcean.org."

Kathleen: 

I’m Al Franken 
and I want to talk to you 
today about the Working Poor. 

Working Poor.
 Once upon a time in America
 you either worked 
or you were poor.
 Now corporate greed brings us 
the Working Poor. 
You work 40 hours 
or more a week 
(keep that overtime off the books!) 
but fall beneath the poverty line. 

Working Poor?
Welcome to the Walmarting of America. 

Working Poor means 
you struggle to pay 
for rent and food.
Working Poor means 
you avoid doctors and dentists
 and other medical luxuries.

Working Poor means
 you have no money for gas,
 no money to fix the car
 and no money for the train.

Working Poor means
 spending your days 
sad and angry
 but you’d better keep 
that Walmart Happy Face smiling.


Working Poor means 
you have little power
 and absolutely no collective bargaining power
 to improve your wages and benefits.


For the Working Poor 
the dream and promise
 of America is crushed so Walmart 
executives can line 
their pockets and balance their budgets.


PurpleOcean.org is working today 
for the Working Poor
Nobody who works should be poor. Nobody. 

Click on – purpleocean.org 
and help eliminate 
the phrase “working poor”
Help free the Working Poor
 from their poverty 
and return to them 
what Walmart has stolen: hope.

Darth Lord(don't say Vader)
 Yes, my master. 

Emperor: 
There's been a great disturbance. 

DL: I have felt it, my master. 

Emperor: It is a group of people 
trying to protect 
the rights of workers
 and destroy our EVIL EMPIRE. 
They are purpleocean.org
 and this rebellion needs 
to be crushed swiftly. 
DL: As you wish. 

Emperor: 
They are building
 the nation's largest grassroots movement 
to ensure work is valued and rewarded.
 If only we could use clones,
 then this purpleocean.org 
would be destroyed. 

DL: It is unfortunate, master.
 (regular voice)Purpleocean.org.
 Fighting the evil empire
 for worker's rights.

Anthony: 

Al speaks in Dick Cheney’s Voice: 

"Ahem. The liberals made a big to-do
 about me telling Sen. Leahy 
to ‘go (bleep) himself,’ 
but where’s their outrage 
over PurpleOcean’s claims 
to being ‘PO’d’ all of the time? 
What’s America coming to when a group
 of—ahem—laborers
 can claim to be ‘PO’d’
 at corporations 
who rack up record profits
 by squeezing workers 
and refusing to offer quality, 
affordable health care?
 Are they impuning 
the integrity of Wal-Mart
 for raking in $10 billion 
in profits last year 
but still refuseing 
to provide health care 
to most of its workers?
 And they’re PO’d at politicians 
who say one thing 
at election time 
and promptly forget 
their promises the moment
 they take office? 

Fooey on you for believing 
that we wouldn’t spend 
more than $200 billion in Iraq
 while trying to dismantle Social Security. 

Please don’t joing forces
 with the 1.8 million members 
of America’s most
 exciting and fastest growing workers’ organization,
 SEIU,
 to demand a better future
 for our nation. 
After all, 
you wouldn’t want to join 
the likes of--ahem--
Mother Jones, Cesar Chavez, and John L. Lewis,
 would you? 

Trust me, if they were in charge,
 we’d probably get ‘hit’ again" 

Please don’t visit purpleocean.org.
 ahem. Please. 
If you do, 
you can go (bleep) yourself.
 And I’ll send John Bolton after you.
