    A CEO, a Tea Party member, and a union worker sit at a table with 12 cookies. The CEO takes 11 of the cookies, then whispers to the Tea Party member, "I'd watch that guy. I think he's trying to get your cookie"

    No link. It's from facebook.

    Shouldn't it be a CEO bakes 12 cookies and is willing to give the Union Worker 1 cookie per hour to bake 2 cookies per hour.

    The Union steps in and says 1 cookie per hour in pay and benefits is not enough and they need to pay 3 cookies per hour though the worker only can make 2 per hour. The weak company management acquieses for 2 cookies per hour to a worker who then without fear of losing his job based on union contracts slacks off and only makes 1 cookie an hour.

    The company inevitably fails and then the government has to bail out the company.

    Shouldn't it be all of you are mindless sheep, incapable of having valid opinions of your own while continuing to bravely march to the extreme ends of both parties where the government can barely pass its budget and have our credit downgraded, and we pray for rain to pander to voters?

    How the hell am I an extremist for making a joke?

    You don't know any of my own opinions bud.

    That misses the point of the joke since it isn't about production of cookies.

    This may be the worst joke I've ever heard.

    More like:

    A union worker, a CEO, and a tea party member are all enjoying cookies at a round table. The union worker has 5, the tea partier has 5, and the CEO has 2. Then, the government shows up and takes 4 cookies from the tea partier and union worker to give to the CEO. Now, the union worker and tea partier have 1 cookie, while the CEO enjoys 10. The tea partier and union worker then proceed to blame each other, while the CEO and government talk about how great democracy is.

    Damn BatmanJones. You have, obviously, failed to pay attention to our Liberal Conspiracy to Take Over The World messageboard. We were clearly supposed to deploy this joke in February 2011 as part of our devious liberal agenda to destroy the Job Creators and make all of America dependent on the Glorious Nanny State.

    Therein lies its brilliance; cookies don't just appear out of nowhere...

    Good lord, most of you people are idiots.

    There are a lot of people who don't want to be in first place because, to put it simply, they don't feel like they deserve it. But, those same people just don't want to be in last place.

    That's how they turn all us working-class types against one another.

    Maybe they should hire someone who can bake cookies at a more efficient rate than 2/hr.
