Moran.....or Moron...you decide

"He later apologized." Hey wingnut, sometimes "I'm sorry" doesn't cut it.

Note to Congress and the White House: We the People pay your salary! That means we call the shots, not the other way 'round. How 'bout some simple respect.

....and about this whole "angry mob" thing. I deal with angry customers from time to time, and I have a few observations:

• Customers get angry when they think you're not listening to them.
• They're still customers.
• They pay your bills.
• If you're smart you listen with respect and acknowledge their concerns, even when you disagree.
• Don't disparage them or talk down to them or they quickly become someone else's customers.
• Never forget, the customer's always right.

Hey Jim, 2010's only a year away.

The Irony Just Keeps Coming

Seriously.....

There's no way I can make this stuff up. If you or I did this the SPCA would howl until we were placed in leg irons and flogged with canes.

the Fat Wars

Mudge has started a good exchange about the obesity dust up over at the Conservative Wahoo.

....I'm just sayin'

There's more common sense in rural America than one might think. Hey Governor Kaine, Robert DuVall, and Ken Burns..nice FAIL. Do any of ya'll live or work in Orange County? Last time I checked Orange County zoning was an Orange County issue.

Whom Do They Think They're Kidding?

Low sodium Dale's? Don't taze me bro. A friend and fellow Southern aficionado of all things fried, fatty, and salty turned me on to Dale's Seasoning years ago. We were being held hostage at the Roche corporate mother ship in New Jersey and were sorely missing home cooked country food. Dusty, native son of Florence SC, cooked me up a mess of cubed steak and gravy with a side of squash and onions one evening. The meat, properly marinated in Dale's for a couple of hours, was salty enough to plump up your ankles as you ate it...just the way I like it. The squash was cooked down in a pot with plenty of butter, salt, and pepper, and served up with a healthy dose of pot likker.

I was hooked...Steaks, burgers, pork chops, and yard bird all get doused in Dale's around my place, making both me and my future cardiologist as happy as pigs in shit. Anyhow, the whole point of Dale's is seasoning...why in tarnation would I want a low sodium version? Some Yankee poindexter has taken hold of product development at Dale's! This "improvement" is as un-American as no-fat ice cream, anything at all labelled "Kashi," or ground-up turkey meat masquerading as hamburger. Might just as well make your pie crusts with oleo fer chrissakes!

What if Indeed

Thanks Cuffy.

Even More Irony

When patient advocacy groups send mass e-mails encouraging members to attend town hall meetings to make their voices heard, it's labelled un-American, un-patriotic, "fishy", and a conspiracy to disrupt.

When MoveOn.org sends mass e-mails encouraging members to do likewise, as they've done today regarding Congressman Tom Periello's meeting in Ruckersville, we call that what, exactly?

More Irony

Democrat Agitator = Community Organizer

Republican Protestor = Angry Mob

Town Hall Meeting Protestors are "too well dressed" to be legit....WTF?
