My interest is heightened recently by this single day 32% hike in tuition fees for California's university system. Yesterday, after stuffing our piggy faces with turkey followed by chocolate pie, family and friends took to discussing our economy over many bottles of wine. My interest is this Obama Davy Crockett money going to paying salaries of educators whose jobs are not threatened, and apparently not a single penny of Obama Play Dough going to helping college students. Matters of education are of great interest to our family.
Almost all of us in our family, immediate and extended, are educators ranging from classroom teachers to principals to college professors. All of us are staunch and fierce conservatives whose political philosophies lie just right of Attila the Hun. We arrived at a consensus: Obama is lying through his teeth.
We enjoyed much musing over a news report of Toro, famous lawn mower maker and lawn sprinkler maker, reporting Obama Monopoly Money led to the sale of a single riding lawn mower, sold to a national cemetery, creating fifty jobs. Of course we wondered if this is fifty illegal aliens taking turns riding this single lawn mower.
How is this possible Obama would report an event which is so clearly ludicrous?
Quite possible, I suppose, when you dump political correctness along with cold mash potatoes into a trash can, then take to being truthful. While scraping cold mash potatoes off a plate into the garbage, I loudly commented, "Our government is lying to America."
Back in Oklahoma, back on our rural farm, we enjoy an endearing saying,
"More than one way to kill a cat than choking him on cold mash potatoes."
All of us know eating cold mash potatoes will choke you to death. Trust me on this, many times I have nearly choked to death trying to swallow a wad of cold mash potatoes finger swiped off a plate while washing dishes. If not for a hard smack on my back from grandma, I would have died.
I think someone should stuff Obama's mouth plumb full of cold mash potatoes for all his lying.
