We've all been a little bummed that Canuckistan is looking better than we are lately, at least by some metrics. It looks like that's going to change.

Yes, I've heard he's another one that could give our mommy jeans wearing president a swirlie without breaking a sweat.
Good thing they are still our (nominal) allies.

"I consider the middle class the people who work for their income and not people who live off their assets or their savings."

Back at another low in the early 2000's, I um... created quite a stir when I made an official-looking memorandum from our IT consulting firm, that there were exciting things afoot, that everyone was getting a 15% pay raise across the board, but for tax and other reasons, the company HQ was moving to Canada, and all wages and salaries would be in Canadian dollars. (Implying you'd get a 15% raise in the "number" but a 20% pay cut in the value of the currency...)
Much hillarity/butthurtedness ensued, and rumor has it that it went all the way up to the corp. HQ in Chicago, but those in the know thought it was hilarious, and nobody ratted me out. :angel:

A number of years ago, a co-worker asked the manager when he was going to get a six figure salary.
The manager's response: "when we pay you in pesos."
