I see that the Keystone Pipeline will create jobs for strippers. And bartenders. I suppose that it will create jobs for bouncers and counselors and parole officers, too. "A crack dealer on every corner" was a promotion for a job creation program, I never realized that before. If I had, I might have supported it. I mean, that's what the govt. is supposed to do, ah, fuckit. I can't do this with a straight face.

Librarians? are you for real? I mean, yeah, your pipeline crew will tip strippers, but you seriously want me to believe that they can read?

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

I'm scratching my head about the 448 clergy.

I figure it takes a hundred drinkers to employ an additional bartender, which means 171,400 drinkers. They're not even hiring that many people. Do they mean the pipeline project will *cause* alcoholism?

136 manicurists. That's how I see a pipeline crew.
