'Cause I'm in Hot-Plate Heaven,
at the Green Hotel
From: Evil Bob <evilbob@tbag.tscs.com>
  Many "transient individuals" (i.e. poor single people) have to live in tiny hotel/apartment houses. These are characterized by being in a very shabby building in a very shabby and dangerous part of town. The rooms are often rented on a daily or weekly basis (instead of the common 6-12 month lease plan), are usually about the size of a walk-in closet and have only a single electrical outlet (no bathroom, no kitchen, and if you're lucky they'll have a piss-soaked mattress for your comfort and safety). Since there's no kitchen, the tenant often resorts to illicit cooking (you're not supposed to cook in them either because of the fire hazard) on a "hot-plate". A hot-plate is a plug-in appliance consisting of a single burner element suitable for pan-frying or making soup. As often as not, in winter the hot-plate doubles as a heat-provider for the room.

Things is slightly better now;
They hope we will forget
The misery of 'TRICKLE DOWN',
From: Evil Bob <evilbob@tbag.tscs.com>
  "Trickle-Down" refers to a phrase used by Ronald Reagan and his economic gurus to describe what would allegedly happen if the rich were taxed less. The myth goes that if the rich pay less taxes, they have more money to invest in other things. This in turn "creates jobs" and all of the other "benefits" of American Life as that untaxed cash "trickles down" through the system to eventually result in some poor schmuck getting paid the minimum wage to be abused by assholes in some god-forsaken mall outlet near you.
  Of course, when taxes for the gentry were cut, the money sorta never managed to flow downhill to the peasantry because it kept ending up overseas where it bought more (but as always, the bullshit slid downhill right to the bottom).

An' jelly-bean etiquette
From: Evil Bob <evilbob@tbag.tscs.com>
  One of the many image tools deployed by the White House Image Spin Doctors to great propaganda effect was that of Ronald Reagan and his fondness for jelly-beans (jelly-beans are small candies made from god-knows-what that taste nasty and stick to your teeth). I mean, this guy likes jelly-beans, of COURSE we can trust him - how can a man who likes jelly-beans be untrustworthy? (or a senile and incompetent aristocratic figurehead/boy for the corporate weasels who really run things).
