First, a note of joy!
Headline: “Last Full Combat Brigade Leaves Iraq.”
Wow! That is, indeed, great news. And thanks, George W. Bush, for taking us on that great adventure. Almost 5,000 dead soldiers of the U.S. and participating Coalition partners; estimates of around 100,000 dead Iraqis; all at a cost of $10,000 EVERY DAY for each man, woman & child in the United States.
But, hey, Iraqi oil ended up in the hands of western oil companies, so there you have it!
Thank you, President Obama, for living up to your promise to extract us from that hell. Now if you would, please, end the war in Afghanistan, too. Thank you, very much.
On to the mailbag…Gee whiz, so much mail, these days, it seems like Christmas…oh, no…wait…it seems like Ramadan!
Actually, it seems like political season. What fun, almost daily hearing from candidates nearly vying for office. And in Florida, that’s some pretty exciting races!
Let’s see where they stand on issues of importance…
Here’s a piece from Rick Scott, the millionaire exploiter of health care costs who is trying to buy his way into Florida’s governor’s mansion.
It has on the outside a photo of a gun. That’s a nice touch.
“Bill McCollum is aiming for your rights,” reads the piece on the outside.
“Florida gun owners can trust Rick Scott,” its reads on the inside. “Career politician Bill McCollum is targeting gun owners.”
Two more gun photos fill up the inside.
Rick Scott is “solid pro gun,” the piece assure us.
That’s nice. I like my elected officials to be “solid pro gun.” Liquid amateur guns are for sissies!
Okay…moving on…here’s another piece…with another gun photo on the outside, this one a pistol laying beside a target pierced with holes in the middle.
“Rick Scott is ‘A’ Rated by the NRA,” reads the piece. “The NRA’s only ‘A’ rated Candidate for Governor.”
So, I must reason, Rick Scott likes his guns. Got it. He is “solid pro gun.”
Hmmm…millionaire exploiting Medicaid payments and likes guns. An American success story! Gee, just the kind of governor of which everyone dreams!
