“Eat Mor Chikin” – I DID!

Peanut Gallery: Today was the big “Free Speech” / “Religious Freedom” day for culture warriors and I did my part. So did hundreds of other folks in Aurora, IL where we’re visiting our family. I waited 2 hours in line for inside counter service. Drive through wait was about 45 minutes. And the lines were just as long when I left. This was big!

It was a lot like a tea party gathering without signs – lot’s of regular folks waiting for hours in the hot sun to make a point for freedom… it had very little to do with the food. It took time, energy and passion… and people were glad to do it. It would have been a terrific place for conservative voter registration effort.

The people in line with me couldn’t wait to express their support for traditional family values. And they can’t wait for November 6th to express their opinion again. The sleeping American giant has had enough. Look at the variety of people – men, women and families.

By Mort Zuckerman at usnews.com:

“Bad News, or even WORSE News….?”

It’s time to adjust the gambit that people in all situations commonly use when reporting results to a supervisor: “What do you want first, the good news or the bad?” The formula that more aptly applies to the latest indicator of America’s economic predicament is: “What do…

“Bailout” – Fleecing the Middle Class

Peanut Gallery: This book reinforces what we already know – politicians serve their Masters, i.e. the big money people who finance their consultant-driven campaigns.

However, “Bailout” – by Neil Barofsky – details how badly ordinary Americans are being used and abused by Washington politicians and bureaucracies. No one is looking out for the American taxpayer. Barofsky suggests a break-up of the big banks.

Here’s my idea to reform Washington – Fire every Government employee who was hired over the last four years and disband every newly formed agency. If anyone notices, let disbanded agencies and fired employees re-apply and justify their existence.

Morning Reading: 1 Timothy 6.6-8 NLT

“Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.”
