3. France - France feigns true love for us, but thumbs their nose in our direction every chance they get. Were it not for United States they’d most likely still be goose-stepping, but their memories appear to have dimmed considerably regarding their fairly recent past. Even today, I’m convinced that if France were attacked first thing they’d do is place a frantic call to United States to enlist our help. And if I were President Bush, I’d tell them that I was busy eating lunch and to go take it up with United Nations. Then I’d finish my sandwich.
4. Squabbles in Senate between Democrats and Republicans - Honestly, I’ve never understood why will of 40 people overrides will of 50 plus people. I’ve felt this way through both Democratic and Republican regimes of past, and I’ll continue to feel this way on out into future. Maybe we should base each senator’s salary on number of issues they tackle during each session of Congress, perhaps that would fire a few of ’em up and prompt them into doing something that would help us all. Watching these grown men and women argue about how long they can argue with each other over issues makes about as much sense as strapping on of a chastity belt before entering a house of ill repute, and that’s me being really nice about it.
Okay, that should be more than enough of this for awhile. To me, talkin’ about Elvis, women, The Brotherhood, and hamdogs is far more interesting than writing about this kind of stuff. So folks, don’t ask me to do this again, or, if a lot of y’all do, I swear that I’ll write a column somewhere down road filled with interesting quotes from some of Gerhardt Schroeder’s greatest speeches!
