Since I’ve been eating at Champps and local diners so often lately, I have had to grapple with the dilemma of the Club Sandwich. It comes piled high with turkey, swiss cheese, lettuce and bacon, double stacked and cut into diagonal quarters. Holding it together are extra long toothpicks, which become handy for their original purpose after the sandwich is consumed. The most difficult problem with the sandwich confronts one immediately. There is no way, even with as big an orifice as I have, that one can fit the sandwich into ones mouth. However, the sandwich has been freshly pierced with long toothpicks which initially do a good job of holding the quartered Leaning-tower-of-pizza-like structure together. Consequently, one is obliged to nibble around the edges like a mouse. At some point, however, as the nibbling progresses, the toothpick is no longer capable of holding this quarter together. Inevitably, the toothpick was never driven through the middle of the quarter to begin with, and now a large portion of your ensemble is threatening to secede from the union. It is exactly at this crucial point, the point at which there is still reasonable unity, that one must face reality. Given that disintegration will render the sandwich no longer a “club” sandwich, one must make a bold, strategic maneuver without delay. Holding the diminished quarter in both hands, the toothpick must be removed carefully and reinserted down the middle of the ensemble. This move, although difficult, if made while the sandwich is still intact, will preserve the integrity of your dining experience. You will be able to finish this first quarter in the way it was meant to be eaten and, filled with new confidence, embark on the second quarter valiantly.

In the Bible is a parable told by Jesus Christ which teaches about the character of the Kingdom of Heaven and what the Lord requires of those who aspire to enter. Called the Parable of the Talents, the parable is about what three servants do with talents, or money entrusted to them by their master or owner of the estate while he goes away for a time.

I thought of this parable upon hearing about the newest Obama campaign ad featuring the life of a girl named Julia. Julia is a mythical character who, as a supposedly typical young American woman fulfills the statist political fantasy of skating through life, handed government assistance at every turn until she finally retires, living from the benefit of other people’s money right up until the end of her life. This is the promise the Obama campaign is making to America. (more…)

The expression “Far right” is one of those media misnomers that has fooled society for decades. There really is no such thing. Like the more recent misnomer, “Stimulus”, a package of tax payer funding supposed to stimulate the economy, the “far right ” is a figment of the Left’s imagination. The Stimulus was proven to be as stimulating to the economy as a wall picture of Phillis Diller in a bus depot. A thorough search for the “far right” will reveal nothing more frightening than grandma sitting on the living room couch watching Lawrence Welk.

Only 49 more states to go!!!!!!!

I-95 and I-75 may be jammed for the next month or so with druggies and deadbeats heading North out of Florida, because this is the first state in the union to require drug testing to receive welfare!

Hooray for Florida! In signing the new law, Republican Gov. Rick Scott said, “If Floridians want welfare, they better make sure they are drug-free”.

Applicants must pay for the drug test, but are reimbursed if they test drug-free.

Applicants who test positive for illicit substances won’t be eligible for the funds for a year, or until they undergo treatment.

Those who fail a second time will be banned from receiving funds for three years!

Naturally, a few people are crying this is unconstitutional.
How is this unconstitutional? It’s a legal requirement that every person applying for a JOB has to pass drug tests in order to get the JOB, why not those who receive welfare?

Lake County, Florida Democrat headquarters recently replaced the stars on an American flag with a head shot of President Obama. The reaction of Republicans and Veterans was predictably forceful.

“It’s absolutely disrespectful,” Jim Bradford, a 71-year-old veteran who participated in the Bay of Pigs Invasion told FoxNews.com. “It’s totally ridiculous. To put somebody’s picture there, to me, it’s a disgrace to do that.”

President Obama suddenly is talking about his Christian faith and Christ’s message to help the poor and that he believes we have a responsibility to share our means. It is ironic that Democrats who have personally given the least, seem to be the loudest in trumpeting Christ’s message to help the poor and downtrodden. Judging by their tax returns, both the President and Vice President have historically given very little of their means to help the poor. They both, however, are more than willing to share other people’s money by raising taxes on the wealthy.

There are not too many things people can do perfectly four times in a row. Even the best home-run hitters can’t hit four home-runs in a row even when fed fat slow pitches in batting practice. I personally can’t even get up on time in the morning four times in a row. I’m lucky if I can do that once a week. As a cellist, I should be able to make a difficult shift ten times in a row let alone four. I confess I can’t. And I’m not so sure I’d remember to take the garbage out every Friday if it weren’t for the cleaning lady. But there is one thing I do consistently every month. That’s pay my mortgage. Somehow, that is something I almost automatically do. Maybe it’s the thought of being thrown out on the street, or the everlasting influence of my fiscally conservative parents.

It certainly isn’t due to the influence of a fiscally conservative President.

A Michiganders Prayer: Oh Lord, please send us a Conservative who will live thy commandments, lead this country to righteousness, create jobs for our people, honor the Constitution and above all, defeat President Obama this next election.

God’s answer: I have already done so, my dear son. I sent you Mitt Romney.

Michigander: But Father, he invented Romneycare and allowed abortion in Massachusetts. They say he is not a Conservative. Also, he’s a Mormon.

God’s answer: If you are concerned about his morals, look at the way he has lived. If you are concerned about the economy, look at what he has accomplished. Remember what I told the Apostles two thousand years ago. You shall know them by their fruits.

Go thou out on the 28th…..and vote for Mitt!

I’ve heard the phrase “out of touch” an awful lot lately. Mitt Romney is labelled “out of touch” with the Conservative voter. The Republican mainstream is “out of touch” with the Tea Partiers. The Tea Party is dying because it is “out of touch” with America. Most of these mind-bending reports come from ABC, CNN and MSNBC.

Earlier this week Gene Simmons, star of the punk rock group Kiss and known as “The Demon” came out with an unlikely statement supporting buttoned-down Republican Mitt Romney for the Primary nomination for President of the United States. There could hardly be a greater contrast between two celebrity personalities. Yet both agree on one thing: Government should be run like a business.
