IRONY DIES AGAIN

Among the "Merry Taxmas" e-cards you can send to legislators, courtesy of Americans for Prosperity, is this one:




Oh, yes: let's cut Medicare for ordinary Americans so we can save the plutocrats' tax breaks ... in the spirit of It's a Wonderful Life! Brilliant!

(And attention copyright lawyers: In addition to this, AFP also has e-cards that use images and taglines from Home Alone and A Christmas Story. So start suing!)

I miss irony, it was a pretty cool little concept.

Here's how I would put it:
'Evertime Congress cuts spending, another angel leaves this sad mortal coil, and takes wing.'


Unless it's military spending. But that probably makes General Jesus haz a big sad...

Every time a fireman is laid off so Old Man Potter can get another tax break, an angel gets its wings!

Americans for Prosperity seem to be waging a war against Christmas. Has anyone told Fox News?
