23. Idiot Amerika indeed!

Thu Feb 23, 2012, 11:25 AM

Feb 2012

Tuesday, I got tired of putting the garden in, and had to run a few errands, so, I fired up the hawg, ran them, and my last stop was my favorite watering hole, to spend some quality time with my favorite barmaid.

The guy sitting next to me is having a conversation with another guy, and asking my opinion. He's talking about all of Noot's brilliant ideas, and how Romney is really a self-made man who actually pays a 50% tax rate, after you add the 35% corporate tax rate that Bain paid.

My tongue is still swollen from biting it. You just want to scream, "Are you a total, complete idiot to believe that bullshit!?!?!?"

Yes. They're really out there. Millions of them. And as far as I'm concerned, they deserve what they get. The downside is, they're going to take the rest of us with them.

At least I got the Garden Of Eatin' in. I may dig up some more ground tomorrow, and plant some sweet potatos.
