This new commercial from GEICO is so annoying, it’s hilarious!

I recently joined a new Facebook page called Create the Good that the AARP started to put a social network approach to helping others in big and small ways by connecting people and causes. They posted a link to a recent article about how Bill Gates and Warren Buffett were encouraging the other billionaires in America to pledge half of their wealth to charity. You can read one piece about that on Huffington Post – click HERE to read the post.

Well, it didn’t take very long before the wealth re-distribution trolls came out and tried to rain on the parade. Here are some of the comments that I couldn’t help finally answering personally. (Honestly – WTF is wrong with some people?!!)

A friend just sent me this very old interview (Thanx, Mike) from the Phil Donahue Show in 1979 with the late, great economist, Milton Friedman (check out that snazzy pink jacket!). Somehow I don’t think this was quite the answer Donahue was looking for but I do suspect he was enlightened. And under that clip is another short piece from John Stossel on Capitalism.

A real interview aired with a guy in Kansas City whose ex-wife tried to have him whacked for his insurance policies (and the guy’s a philandering asshole, too). You can’t make this stuff up! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

I missed this one when it first came out but it’s still just as funny – and relevant – today (Thanks, Mary!):
