Babba's under a GAG order.

It seems that "Obama Derangement Disorder" is out of control on the job. We received a memo that we are not to talk about politics. After eight years of Bush bashing we must remain silent and just suck it in. It seems that a few of the employees have made the "Jefferson's TV Theme" their ring-tone and offended somebody. Babba's ring tone still remains "In A Godda Da Vitta". However, Babba did schedule one of his co-workers for ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy) the day after the election. It seems no one is going to be able to criticize the "O" without having to be placed in a re-education camp. So I just have to walk around with my "O" face on giving sub-prime care.

We had a meeting on Thursday. It seems that the great "O", that friend of small business, will probably cause our fourteen person small business to cut back. The changes in the payroll tax that the "O" has proposed will cost our little group about $180,000. That's about equal to to one full time employee. I'm not sure how that will help me put gas in my car, food on my table, or pay my mortgage. I'll just have to cut back on vacations, eating out and movies. Sorry little guy, don't blame me. CP is not returning to the work force; if she makes anymore money this year we might become rich and the "O" will just redistribute what she makes. We will conserve, we will hunt, we will forage and grow our own food and fix our own vehicles. We will sit back on the porch and watch this disaster unfold; a country boy will survive!

words cannot express how funny I find you, Babba. I cannot WAIT to get home and get a full dose. These internet moments are just like the samples at Sam's...yummy, but I want to have the whole box of veal patties now.

Kinda weird that they would wait until after the election to put forth this edict. What? They want no gloating or no whining? How could any small business owner see a bright future?

Good thing you had practice raising pet tomato plants this year!

AA, that was kind of the point. I can't imagine anyone giving up their liberty when they know what will take it's place. Had the electorate known the consequences, or taken the time to really look and research, the outcome may have been different.

I still have two tomatoes wrapped in a sock under under my bed. My survival plan remains the same as always, "eat the dog".
