Goverment cheese is also surprisingly sturdy. If my home was destroyed by a hurricane, I'd like a FEMA trailor made of goverment cheese. I'd have food and shelter.

You can cuddle with it while you're not cooking grilled cheese sandwiches with it. And you can clobber anyone who breaks into your home. If that's not social security, I don't know what is.

Nothing made sense in that entire comment!" That said, Obama will have failed as a leader for the people unless he brings back goverment cheese as part of his economic recovery plan.

NOTHING'S CHANGED FOR ME OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS." I believe "the vulnerable" in our society have been largely overlooked and discounted. Yet we are the proverbial cannaries in the cage.
