"We're the healthiest horse in the glue factory."

Let me leave *this* with you to comtemplate over the weekend.  Frankly I doubt you'll even get past the required short commercial lead-in, but you're missing a strong, honest message if you don't.  Seems like when I post some fluff people read it and leave comments, but if I post something serious it's passed right over.  


This is a short conversation with former US Senator Alan Simpson (R, WY) where he outlines the real mess our country is headed towards if we don't get our act together soon.  Where are politicians like him today?  We have way too many slick talkers and no straight shooters.  "Stirring the pot" is more admired than solving problems.  *shaking head*


Have a great weekend, friends.

  1. Unfortunately straight talkers will never get elected. They get spun up and spit out by the media...

  2. Things have gone from bad to worse since "compromise" became a dirty word. In politics no one should get everything they want. And politicians should get booted out if it can be proven they've signed pledges with lobbyists before getting elected. Our country should be more important than anyone's personal agenda.
