$80 million is not enough

The Washington Post reports that rich liberals have pledged $80 million for a new political scheme aimed at regaining the upper hand from conservatives.

Their mission: to think up some ideas.

My prediction: They'll end up going way over budget.

For those "rich liberals" to think they can raise enough money to gain new ideas is like a group of us who, in our early college days, would on warm Friday evenings sit on the dock at the lake and indulge in more than a few cold brews and then pee in the lake to see if we could raise the water level. No matter how many "brewski's" we took in and no matter how many times we drained them out the level of the lake did not raise. The "rich liberals" will not be able to spend enough money to find new ideas anymore than we could raise the lake.

Maybe they'll use a bathtub.

HAHAHAHHAHA That would be the size of their thinking. Heck at least we were thinking big and spending a lot less money.
