I don't recall...

Hearing of a run on the recruiting office by ANY young white republics, except the ones who are too poor for college and live in an area where there's no job training. Of course, there are no jobs even with training because they've all gone to China and India. As usual, these fine patriotic republicowards are oh so willing to let the children of the poor do their dirty work for them.
