Bill Cosby has a great way of "distilling" things.
Looks like he's done it again!
AMERICA NEEDS A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012..
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English' is immediately BANNED!!!. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.
(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we'll do no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here!
(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here.
(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTH BOUND aliens.
(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you AIN'T getting nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades. [Zippa-de-do-da!]
(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports .... for life.
(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more 'life sentences'. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the EXACT price of a barrel of oil.
(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether or not it's a worthy cause.
(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said EVERY day at school and every day in CONGRESS.
(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
My apology is offered if I've stepped on anyone's toes .... nevertheless.. ...
GODBLESS AMERICA !

oh, well, apparently not Bill, but, I like it anyway

Nice!
But, just one question: Can we apply the same rules to you?
I only say this because Canada is among the most natural resource gifted countries in the world. We export most of the crude oil you use (at a staggering discount no less) and have HUGE, seemingly endless, fields of wheat.
We also make huge humanitarian aid donations without hesitation.
Our federal debt sits at ~500 billion and your is lost some where in the double digit trillions. I'd love to see what those figures (and North America for that matter) would look like if we got fair market value for our exports.
We might only be 67,000 strong, yet we are the best trained and equipped medium sized military force in the World (and getting stronger)... if I had my way you'd highly reconsider setting your compasses to 6400mils and walking that bearing after we cut you off.
But, absolutely take care of your own first...
