"We ate so poorly that the Hobo's wouldn't come to our house..."

4. I saw that Monday night and it was excellent.

The documentary about Woody Guthrie was wonderful too. My dad, my brother, and I were having a discussion about the economy over lunch yesterday and I brought up that documentary and was relating it to what's happening today. My dad, a libertarian type and a Limbaugh fan, said that the situation during the Depression was a special case and that we don't need the government to jump-start the economy like they did back then. I said that the only reason we didn't hit rock bottom this time was because government agencies were already in place to deal with it this time. I also said that things would have been better if Congress had passed that jobs bill, too. My dad and brother hate Obama, but I think they knew I was right about that.
