Clueless

I had some time to kill before a doctor's appointment last Thursday so I hobbled out to the golf club to see if any of my cronies were around. Two of the guys were sitting outside at the lunch tables enjoying a beautiful sunny day. I seated myself, ordered a coke, and listened. I hate to be one of those who barges in then dominates the conversation unless were real pals. Anyway, one of the fellas asked what I was up to after my doctor visit. If I had the time, I mentioned, I was going to drive to downtown Columbus and check out the Tea Party rally. Both of these guys were professional people. One of them was number three man at Nationwide Insurance and the other is a doctor so, even if I don't mention politics, I figure I'm safe with these men. Wrongo! Right away the "I can see Alaska from my front porch jokes" started. I really didn't want to get into anything because I assumed at their ages they'd never heard of Tina Fey. Anyway, if there was permanent animosity that might develop I stood the chance of losing some easy sucker bets on the course. I'd have had to have a hip replacement that morning to lose to these duffers. I didn't proselytize, either. To be on the safe side: for those of you who do think Sara P. is the President of Tea Party of American she ain't. There are two choices for the voters. If you believe in the Tea Party then you are for a limited government based on the Constitution of the United States. The people, by electing their representatives, have the power. If you like what is going on in Washington D.C. then you believe in a European Socialist government with the power resting in the hands of those whom you elect. It's pretty simple. I'm not saying one side is wrong and the other right. Apparently, when the election of '08 took place some of those who voted, independents mainly, feel they have been fed a bad tasting diaper. Ah Hell! I am too saying one side is wrong.
