I LIKE PIE!

I like pie, and it's a problem.

I eat a lot of pie... at least one whole pie a day, 365 pies a year.

My problem is I am obese, some people even say "bloated".

Lately people have become dissatisfied with the amount of pie I eat, they say I eat too much, not only of my pie, but of their pie too.

I've decided to make major changes in my diet... I, am going to eat less pie.

For the next three years I am only going to eat 361 and a half pies a year.

Some people trumpet this as a "major change"

Other's ridicule me and say I should only eat a little pie, and less of theirs.

I like Pie!

The Congressional Budget Office reports that the 2010 deficit is only going to be 1.3 trillion dollars, down from 1.4 trillion last year.

The Obama administration is expected to announce a three year freeze in spending on certain government agencies and programs that congress specifically funds, and exempt security related budgets and entitlements.

The government is going to eat less pie, roughly 3 and a half less pies a year, just like me.

Sure I'm fat, bloated, and eating every pie in sight... but the problem isn't that we are eating too much pie, the problem is that we are eating more pie than we could ever bake ourselves. I'm eating Chinese pie, Saudi Arabian pie, pies from every corner of the world. Sooner or later people are gonna stop giving us pies...

But Hell, I like pork too....and I eat tons of that.

Obama is a master of misdirection. He blows trillions while talking about cutting spending.
Regardless, I think the Repubs should have embraced him warmly on this one to show some cooperation, all the while talking about how "this is a good first step..."

I wonder how good, honest, no-pie eating newly elected folk feel about the pie-laden Capitol building once they get to Washington.

Pie is everywhere, dripping down the walls, wall to wall pie-carpeting on the floors, they can't get away from it.

And it corrupts them into at first nibbling on a crumb. Then, what the heck, slice me off a piece. And it's over after that.
