Cashing in on anger

The Spokesman-Review

Can anyone think of a name of a U.S. company that manufactures pitchforks? Or do I have to go to an overseas manufacturer to make my next investment? My 401(k) took such a hit last year that I now feel it necessary to invest in a sure thing that will pay off quickly before I retire.

If this Congress passes the proposed medical plan of this administration, I should make a fortune in pitchfork sales to a mad-as-heck American bipartisan mob. Go ahead, Washington, make my day.
