I was watching an episode of “The O’Reilly Factor” during a break in an exciting night of hard-work and coffee drinking

Which fits PERFECTLY into my non-partisan rant for this week

Ok, so Bill O’Reilly is coming out with a new book called “Pinheads and Patriots” due out in September

This week, he was auctioning off autographed books to 5 people

Matching the highest bid, with 100% of the proceeds going to CHARITY

(and, Bill, I’d like to request that all proceeds coming from the mass WAVE of pre-sales you’re about to get from this blog to go —–>HERE

Thanks. You’re a PATRIOT)

And every night, when the show is about to end, he fields e-mails

LOVE mail

HATE mail

Those From:

  • Conservatives
  • Liberals
  • Democrats
  • Republicans
  • Libertarians
  • Dogs
  • Trees
  • And from that dude wearing the hounds-tooth scarf in the 17th row of the last Ke$ha concert

Well, one of the comments came from a viewer, who was less than AFFLUENT

I was almost 104% sure of this because of what was said:

“There you go [Bill], catering to the AFFLUENT again. When are you going to something for the rest of us. I think you should have given the rest of us a chance, and raffled off the books.”

Beee….caaaaause this was more about getting a stupid book than it was helping those in need?

Ahhh, I get it…

(ever notice how people AGAINST prosperity try to sugar-coat selfishness to sound like charity? Go figure.)

Which brings me to the point of this blog, which is centered around this phrase used by the MOB to stay in their commonitityness

I’ve never understood this phrase I’m about to drop on your plate

Nor the utter NARROWMINDED thinking of those who seem to use it as a some sort badge of humility and meekness

It’s a phrase I’ve grown up on, and have heard family and friends say for at least twice a month, for 25+ years

And, without sounding like an ANGRY AMERICAN, it’s a phrase I’ve grown to detest in my short time on earth

The phrase of the day is:


“I’d rather be poor and happy, than rich and sad”

And…And…And as an EXTRA


I’d rather be poor and in LUUUUUUUUV…

What AWESOMELY humble and puppy-wuppy things to say!!

AWWWWWWWWW!!!

(is that corn I see in that B.Poop?)

This is one of the most abominable sayings ever spewed out of the mouth of those without an EXCELLENT spirit

Or at least a spirit of PURPOSE

It comes from the mental-minnow who aren’t MAN GIANT enough to think bigger and who’s idea of success is being able to plop down on a couch, after a 40 hour JOB-week, and watch “Fringe” with a Corona and a bag of Hot Fries, and vegetate

Once again both idolizing and cursing the men and women shining on the Bright-Box, who think of themselves to be more than just a name on a spreadsheet

Those of the few who live by the MANTRA:


“I’d rather be RICH and HAPPY, than poor and sad”

But the common don’t think of themselves GREAT enough to think in that manner

And, hey, it’s easy to think that way…

…but It’s HARD to bust out of the lack-mentality programming rut

(rut = a long grave)

Which is why there’s not more AFFLUENT & PROSPEROUS people

It’s the AFFLUENT that cause this great nation to keep going

It’s the RICH who cause this world to keep spinning

Don’t believe me? GREAT!!!!

Slam YOUR BOSS

AKA: “That guy that signs your checks”

(know of any POOR people employing workers?)

and ask him how much he makes a year

$200,000!!

WHAT!!!

Affluent jerk!

He should be making only $40,000 like me…

…and you’ll be looking for another J.O.B.

So love and happyness is REALLY all you need?

Tell that to the “happy” homeless and starving that the AFFLUENT are helping…
