I
accompanied my wife to her recent early morning Doctor's appointment and when it
was over we decided to have breakfast at Perkin's Restaurant here in Marion,
Ohio. Perkin's is one of our favorite places in town for breakfast. We were
seated in a booth and proceeded to have a very nice breakfast. As we were
finishing up we couldn't help but hear conversation from the booth behind us.
One of the waitresses had stopped to chat with a couple that appeared to be in
their late thirties or early forties.
They were talking about firearms. Specifically, about side arms, pistols. Just
like the ones they had strapped on their hips at the moment. The patrons behind
us that is, not the waitress. Only customers can pack at Perkin's. The help is
not allowed - as yet!
This restaurant has obviously become a much more dangerous place. Yes,
apparently so, even given the fact that the average age of the patrons assembled
this weekday morning was likely something north of sixty.
I can't begin to tell you how silly these two turds looked when they finally
sashayed out of there with that iron strapped on. Scary too for sure. We didn't
look up. Shit, don't want to get plugged because of an inadvertent evil eye over
a plate full of hotcakes!
I firmly believe that Perkin's Restaurant should have a sign posted at the door
saying "NO GUNS ALLOWED". There's absolutely no reason for anyone to carry a
loaded handgun into a family restaurant. If there are people THAT PARANOID they
simply should stay home and barricade themselves in their houses.
When I get the chance, I plan to complain to the management of Perkin's
personally.

Capping a week in which he
attempted to explain the "plan" he "thinks" God wants him to
"articulate," Glenn Beck informed listeners of his radio show recently
that "an individual" at the Vatican purportedly told him that we are
entering a "period of great darkness" and that Beck himself was "wildly
important" to the upcoming struggle. Now, that is laughable.
How You Can Spot A Republican..
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was
lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to
him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour
ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon,
approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You
are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes
west longitude.
“She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be an Obama Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct.
But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost.
Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”
The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Republican.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you are going.
You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a
promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem.
You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now
it’s my fault.”

Senate Bill 239, introduced by Sen. Tim Schaffer, R-Lancaster, and Sen. Shannon

The years have not
been kind to you. I grew up in a profoundly Republican home so I can remember
when you wore a very different face than the one we see now. You’ve lost me and
you’ve lost most of America. Because I believe having responsible choices is
important to democracy, I’d like to give you some advice and an invitation.
The Marion Star
recently reported that Marion
County (Ohio) Commissioner Josh Daniels has filed for reelection.
If there is a
God in Heaven SOMEONE in this town will run against him and spare the community
another four years of Mr. Daniels. Personally, I'd vote for nearly anyone
else! Anybody know if Francis the talking mule is available?
You may remember, this is the same guy that
shot his wife and pretty much got away with it. More on that story
here.
As I reported earlier, there will be opposition to
Mr. Josh Daniels. The Marion Star reported today (02/19/2010) that two
Republicans will enter the May 4th primary to run off to oppose Mr. Josh in the
general election.
Former commissioner Republican Ken Frayer and and
another Republican, newcomer Kenneth Stiverson have both filed to enter the
primary. lairdslair endorses Kenneth Stiverson. A copy of the Marion Star article can be found
