Subject: Alvin Greene: Create Jobs by Making Toys of Alvin Greene

It is clear, too, in the course of the two hours I spend with Greene that he has some pretty wacky ideas that, were he to win in November, would put him among the more unpredictable members of the senate. At one point, he lurches off on his big idea for how to create jobs in South Carolina.
"Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That's something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It's not something a typical person would bring up. That's something that could happen, that makes sense. It's not a joke."

It would create jobs, but then the jobs would be quickly lost when no one buys the toys.

It would probably be a good investment - in 50 years

You don't think the song and story of Alvin Greene will live on into future generations?
Maybe some future pop culture artifacts expert will obtain an Alvin Greene doll and ask, "What the hell is the story behind this thing?" That could get him a neat foot note in history.
Now, Sarah Palin, she's a different story. They're gonna carve her face in Mount Rushmore.
Mount Rush (Limbaugh) more?
???

Her actual face when the tea party base realizes that she doesn't actually care about them unless their problems advance her goals?

She has a better chance of landing on Rushmore -- or landing on the moon -- than she does becoming POTUSA.
:D
