    Wait a minute, if she’s eating the cake, and the peasants can’t have bread because there isn’t any, how….what…Hell I don’t know, I’m a Democrat. I don’t understand how rich conservatives are going to pull this off without a fight………

    the conservatives claim that the liberals answer to a problem is to through money at it… the liberals claim that the conservatives answer to a problem is to through money at rich people… any time both side cant agree they are probably both wrong.

    The actual saying “let them eat cake” was first written by the political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his autobiography “Confessions”. At the time, Marie Antoinette was only 10 years old and living in Austria. She didn’t come to France until four years later when she married Louis XVI. More than that, Rousseau mentioned this same phrase in a letter written 18 years before Marie-Antoinette was even born.Read more at http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/12/marie-antoinette-never-said-let-them-eat-cake/#BDMmm471ZpIRPQQM.99

    The cake is probably a Napoleon – hopefully Marie A’ will not be blown-apart

    A bad actress in a classic Benny Hill skit: “What’s that in the road? A head?” Benny: “No, dear, it’s what’s that in the ROAD ahead!” (Also, in another one: “Ooh, what is this thing called, love?” while appearing to be groping her scene partner. Benny: “No, dear, it’s what IS this thing called LOVE!”)

    Well, you DO have to taxi before you take off.Unless it’s a chopper of course.

    LaffinLarry: I got the pun, but even choppers do some taxiing to save fuel on takeoff.
