So I thought I'd share something funny I witnessed while at work the other day. So, I work for a major bank corporation, and as such am stuck in a cubicle farm for most of the day. Yet, they are gracious enough to let me out of my cage for two ten minute walks per day around our office building. Aaaah, I'll take what I can get. So I'm in the midst of my walk, headed down the homestretch (aka...front parking lot headed back for the door and my dungeon) when I witness the following scene.
Two boys, gestimated ages being 11 or 12 are racing each other to the family minivan, their mother lagging behind in their dust. Suddenly, the one who is losing pulls up short and shouts, "Time-out, time-out!" accompanied with emphatic gestures in the t-form. The one out in front stops, turns, and says, "You can't call time-out in the middle of a race." "Oh yes, I can" says the cheater as his purpose is achieved and the other has stopped. He lunges for the van, only to come up short! His scheme was not carried out to fruition.
That whole scene cracked me up. All I could so was grin from ear-to-ear as I walked past the mother, who noticed my expression with a tad bit of chagrin. Oh, what we will do to win at whatever cost. Yet, the sad reality is, somebody has to win. Everybody does not get a trophy; which is contrary to what the Federal Government is trying to say.
By enacting universal health care the democratic party has effectively committed political suicide. Yet, they are fully aware of the retribution that is sure to come because of their actions yesterday. For some, March 21 was a special day. For others, one of utter horror. As Glenn Beck is so used to trumpeting, "The world is about to change." All I can hope is for America to wake up in time. Hope, pray, and take action!!!
