<p>AP: The April unemployment rate is expected to drop to 0% as Congress expedites the passage of the 2010 Emergency Employment Act.  The bill, to be signed by President Obama later this afternoon, provides every unemployed person in the nation with a Federal job, health care coverage, and retirement benefits.  The newly created Federal positions fill a wide variety of needs ranging from polishing wind turbine blades to translating peace offerings into Persian. &#8220;Obama is finally making good use of his stash,&#8221; said unemployed Queens resident Martha Johnson, 37.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After its ad popped onto my Facebook page, I clicked ahead and visited a website called &#8220;Change Clothez&#8221;. </p>
<p>The landing page sells a shirt whose design is meant to &#8220;encourage people to question whether socialist ideals and practices are as destructive as some would lead you to believe.&#8221;</p>
<center><script type='text/javascript'><!--// <![CDATA[
    /* [id16] Middle of Post Content 300x250 */
    OA_show(16);
// ]]&gt; --></script><noscript><a  target="_blank" href="http://socialismdoesntwork.com/openx/www/delivery/ck.php?n=c9ba99d"><img border='0' alt='' src='http://socialismdoesntwork.com/openx/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=16&amp;n=c9ba99d' /></a></noscript></center>


<p>The design includes the phonetic spelling of socialism, <b>ˈsō-shəli-zəm</b>, followed by what appears to be a tag cloud  with the following words:</p>
<p>Support, Liberty, Compassion, Unity, Wealth, Public Parks, School Breakfast Program, Potential, Empowerment, Equality, Freedom, Community, Medicare, United States Postal Service, Opportunity, Justice, Cooperation, Veterans Affairs, Highways</p>
<p>Now, are the tags supposed to be characteristics of socialism?  Because if they are&#8230; they seem closer to a random bunch of nouns than to socialism in practice.</p>
<p>So I thought I&#8217;d throw some nouns out there and try a little design of my own:</p>
<blockquote><p>(big ˈgəvər(n)mənt):<br />
Efficiency, Daffy Duck, Honesty, Wile E. Coyote,  Low Costs, Bugs Bunny, Compassion, Elmer Fudd, Low Middle Class Taxes, Yosemite Sam, Balanced Budget, Porky Pig, Fairness, Marvin the Martian, Equality, Sylvester the Cat, Freedom, Tweety Bird</p></blockquote>
<p>Now go ahead, take a peek at <a  href="http://shop.changeclothez.com/products/socialism-sucks" rel="nofollow">Change Clothez</a> and see the original.</p>
<p>Who knows, the owner of that site might see some traffic coming in from here and stop by.</p>
