We Now Return To Our Regularly Scheduled Blog

For the second straight week, the "You Send It" roundup appears on Monday. Writing is going to drive me batty.

Monday was weaksauce on an undercooked chicken breast, but the remainder of the week did quite well.

TUESDAY, 5/22

"The Democrats only offer you more taxes, the gay marriage and anything else."--BOONSBORO

THE gay marriage? Like, the ultimate in homosexual nuptials? What the hell would that be, Harvey Fierstein wedded to John Waters with Nathan Lane presiding?

"But what do you do with somebody who blows cigarette smoke in your face and pollutes your lungs when you're walking into a shop or any place else?"--WAYNESBORO

Just wait...you are soon to find out.

WEDNESDAY, 5/23

"...Miss Hillary Clinton, who God forbid that this country ever gets to the point where we allow her even the ability to be our president."--HAGERSTOWN

Well, see, this is rather a wasted sentence. I present to you the requirements for being President of the United States:

1--must be a natural born citizen of the United States (Hillary Clinton was born in Chicago)
2--must be at least thirty-five years of age (Hillary Clinton is, as of this typing, 59 years old)
3--must be a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years (yessir).

So she meets all 3 of the above requirements. Truly then, Hagerstown caller, America has gone to Hell in a basket of some sort.

THURSDAY, 5/24

"To the person who called in...about people blowing cigarette smoke in your face when you enter a place: if you don't like it, just hold your breath. Don't breathe while you're entering...because America tells you that you can't smoke, that's when we're going to smoke even more, so get used to it."

Oh, here's a lovely attitude. While I do often feel that adults in general would improve their quality of ilfe by occasionally allowing themselves to regress back to the simpler pleasures and considerations of childhood, this is a little too much. "Mom says I can't, so I'm gonna do it even more"? That's fantastic. "Don't breathe while you're entering"? You can't tell me what to do! I'm gonna breathe even more! I'm gonna take gigantic, drawn-out, planet-swallowing inhalations! I'M GONNA BREATHE IN YOUR FACE, AND I DON'T CARE HOW HEALTHY IT IS, IT'S MY BREATH!

FRIDAY, 5/25

"This is America. We need to close our borders."--HAGERSTOWN

All I will say on the issue of illegal immigration is that it's one of those topics that really peels back the onion skin. I oppose it because, well, it's illegal. But legal immigration does not bother me at all. Why would it? But there are certain of people who feel that any and all comers from foreign lands shouldn't be allowed here. Scratch that...amend to "any and all dark-skinned comers from foreign lands."

That's why I heartily support free soapboxes. We can see how many people actually just care about observing law (with those who follow it rewarded and those who do not follow it punished) and how many folks are just xenophobic isolationists.

  1. I've had up to here with you Pro-Breathers, someday when we take back the courts, we'll overturn Lung v Marlboro, i mean it's in the Bible

    Winston 14:23 "And he rose up, and that smooth rich carolina aroma told Joseph that he had arrived in the flavor country"

    Camel 3:11 "And God struck down the non-breathers with a mighty menthol fire, and he said SKOAL to thee!"

    remember...when you breathe clean air, you breathe with the ever-doers
