Michigan's economy sucks.  With many of the Motor City's namesake companies cutting jobs due to sales decrease, many of it's residents are suffering.  In fact most people I know are killing themselves working two full time jobs just to make ends meet. Debt, foreclosures, and people leaving state for better jobs or just a job is quite prevalant.

While driving to my mother-in-law's, (where I am currently residing ON HER ENCLOSED PORCH as I too have been hit by the effects of Michigan's economy hammer as it fell) I saw a sign on the side of the church on the corner of the block. The sign read "HELP WANTED: Sundays- 11:00 to 7:00 pm.  I continued reading.  On the bottom it said "Compensation= Eternal Happiness".  At that point I wanted to jump out of my car, pull the damned sign off the church and shred it in the middle of the street.  Eternal Happiness my ass.  A pot to piss in I could work with.  But "eternal happiness?!" I thought.  When Christians are supposed to be the light in the sesspool that is sometimes refered to as society, I was enraged.  I get less patronization in the welfare office.( those of you that have applied for state assistance know what I am saying)  While I can appreciate the wit that whoever created the sign intended to imply, I can't help but realize that some things are tasteless.  That happening to be one of them...especially as how they were probobally the ones that voted Republican.
