Their burgers might be squares, but their employees clearly aren't.
Wendy's employee Amy Seiber was arrested and soon became an ex-employee on Nov. 1, when a customer at the chain's Lovejoy, Ga. location called 911 on Nov. 1 and reported there was a half-smoked blunt inside her burger, TMZ reported Thursday.
Police say when they showed up, Seiber, 32, told them the blunt belonged to her, and that she "misplaced" it inside the cheeseburger. She was arrested for possession of marijuana.

MJH.s All-Time #1 Post
Most every morning I check out what's being read by you folks. Invariably, the accompanying blog shows up in the top three and has been that way since it was first published in August of 2012. It's a lollapalooza.
Saturday night was dudsville for television unless you were into the Olympics. Around 9 PM, with remote in hand, I pressed the guide button to check out my choices. I must have skimmed the channels fifteen times and then I saw the name, 'Stossel' on the Fox Business channel. I've always liked John Stossel dating back to his days with 20/20. He was constantly exposing a company or government agency for graft and corruption. On the FBC he has an in-studio audience which adds to the spontaneity of the telecast. Last nights show centered around the impact the mainstream media has in determining the issue of gas and oil and how pipelines, if constructed, would destroy the landscape of America. As a guest he had on Sarah Palin of 'drill baby drill' fame. You may have heard this spiel before but, if not, she was talking about drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge. Did you know that the State of Alaska is two and a half times the size of Texas? Did you know that the ANWR region for drilling is 2,000 acres, about the size of LAX. In actuality, the caribou herds have flourished because of the drilling that took place. It warmed the area so that vegetation had a chance to grow in the tundra. The lack of drilling in ANWR is causing the loss of thousands of jobs, in most cases, Barack, union jobs. According to Palin there has only been one pipeline accident in the history of the ANWR pipeline and that was when a hunter got irresponsible with his rifle.
On to bigger things, if you'll permit me. The Keystone Pipeline has been put on hold by the Obama administration coming out of Canada to the USA. The Canadians had no choice but to be selling to the ChiComs. Why, say the Obamanuts, the pipeline would destroy the environmental system of this country. And then the MSM pushes this mantra to the extent that it makes lemmings of our people and gives the eco-nuts a platform to espouse their uncompromising views. We haven't built a refinery in this country for around forty years and people wonder why we pay large amounts of hard earned cash on the best fuel in the world at the pump. And this doesn't take into account what lies under our ground which is the largest reserve in the world.
What I'd like you to do is study very carefully this map I've re-printed. It shows the number of pipelines for oil and natural gas already in place in the US. Then click on the attachment to see more detailed maps, ten of them, that show exactly where these pipelines begin and end. So, I ask you, if all these pipelines are in place right now have you noticed a lack of chickadees in your yard? Have all the swallows gone to Capistrano? I saw a hummingbird yesterday at my golf course and I didn't look twice because I see them all the time.
Folks, we're being hoodwinked by the media. If you didn't know better one would think they have an agenda.

One Private Meeting Between President, Sebelius in 3.5 Years Leading Up to Obamacare Launch
A stunning new study unveiled on Fox News' Hannity finds that President Barack Obama’s White House calendar records just one face-to-face meeting between Obama and his Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in the more than three-and-a-half years leading up to the disastrous Obamacare launch.

Christmas Vacation
In order to irritate the Progressive Communists who might come across my blog the wife and I are taking an early Christmas--not holiday, not winter-but Christmas vacation. After a 22 hour drive we arrived in San Antonio for a two week visit to see our daughter, her husband and our precious three grandchildren. The trip down was basically uneventful. We broke it up by driving to Central Iowa to have Thanksgiving dinner with Ma. Then spent three days in Olathe, Kansas and saw #1 son, his wife and three more gems of the family. After that it was down to Miami, Oklahoma(pronounced Mi-am-uh) for a two day visit with my old college roomie and his beautiful wife.
Here's a small world story. We had driven forty miles into Texas and stopped at a Starbucks. I was wearing my Iowa sweatshirt. The young lass behind the counter asked if I was from Iowa. 'I was born there", I said. She told me she was born in Iowa, a town called Boone. Well, imagine that. That's where I'm from. I didn't know her family which is unusual because at one time I knew everyone from Boone. Those citizens are most likely all dead.
Want to know what's really neat about Texas interstates? They have signs that read, 'Use left lane only to pass'. This is right at the heart of one of my pet peeves; drivers, mostly women. using a cell phone or texting who live in the left hand lane and drive ten miles an hour under the limit. Also, their license plates are always from Blue states.
Wendy Davis from Texas is running on the Democrat/Progressive/Communist ticket for governor in the next election. She's a single babe and unlike the great percentage of folks from the loser party is not unattractive. Her claim to fame is that while in the Texas legislature, and this was last summer, she filibustered against a pro-life bill. The Leftist media made an overnight sensation out of her. She's the darling of all that is wrong in this world but no matter. I was listening to the radio this morning and the announcer gave her financial statistics: salary, taxes paid and money given to charity. She's wealthier than 90% of the people making a salary of $280,000 last year but, like Obama, and Biden and the rest of the do-nothing but whine party, gave a whopping $995.00 dollars to charity. And these are the clowns who want the rest of us taxed into oblivion.
One of the best things about Texas is that every restaurant, motel and place of business with a television always has the channel set to Fox News. I love this state.

Doctors Know
The disastrous Obamacare rollout has prompted eleven doctors to run for the Senate.
These doctors, all of whom are Republicans, hope that their expertise as doctors will help to convince voters that Obamacare is not good for the nation.
Paul Broun is a family physician running for the open Senate seat in Georgia. He said, “Doctors are in a very unique position to look at the financing of healthcare. We go into medicine for one reason, and one reason only: Because we care about people, we want the people who we serve to have a productive, happy, healthy life.”
It is likely that the majority of these eleven individuals will win in their respective states. In 2012, doctors were rated as the third most trustworthy professionals in the country.

Obama Pays Tribute To Rosa Parks
Fifty-Eight years ago yesterday in Montgomery, Alabama a cleaning lady, Rosa Parks, refused to give up her seat on a city bus and move to the back. This defiance was the beginning of the civil rights movement in the country. Barack Obama wanted to recognize Mrs. Parks great achievement so not only did have this picture of Parks on the back of the bus but he made her lie on the floor----or something like that. See Barack looking out the window. He's telling himself, "I am so wonderful".

Football 101
Five years ago I was a guest of the Minnesota Timberwolves NBA basketball team. After the game I was also allowed to sit in on the post game press conference headed by the former coach, Kevin McHale. After five years I recall only one aspect of the experience. The sportswriter asking questions was from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He was in his thirties, about 5'9" and weighed too much. He had a scraggly beard and more scraggly hair on top of his head. He was wearing blue jeans and a plaid flannel shirt. If he ever played in sports contest he'd have thrown up on himself and quit after the first minute. I'll get back to this guy later.
If you follow college sports yesterday's results were unique. The game of the day featured Auburn University versus the University of Alabama. The game ended on one play I'd never before witnessed. With one second to play Alabama's field goal kicker attempted one from 56 yard to win the contest. His kick came up woefully short. The Auburn kick return artist caught it nine yards deep in the end zone and ran it back for a touchdown. Game over.
The Alabama kicker had attempted four field goals in the game; three he missed and one was blocked. In this morning's news, tweets were posted about this twenty year old kicker and how his life is now being threatened by Alabama die-hard fans. My guess is they lost their shirts at the betting window.
I have a history with sports. My participation started when I was nine years old and culminated in 1968 after playing basketball and baseball in college. After that was a twenty year career coaching basketball and football. There were good years and not so good years. There were good parents and not so good parents along with other good and not so good coaches and administrators. All in all it was a worthwhile experience. One of my best friends, a high level executive with a major company, always told me he give up everything if he could have my job. He thought I went out on a Friday night and coached. That's the way most civilians think. The coaching rundown for football is thus. A two week camp in the summer that runs five hours daily. Two weeks prior to the beginning of the school year 'two a day' practices begin. We'd have one three hour session in the morning and another two hour session in the afternoon. When the school year begins the kids had two and a half hour practices during the week. Friday was game night; that was the evening when your reward for all the practice happened.
On Saturday morning after the game the kids would come in for stretching exercises and the coaches would determine what the injury situation was and take appropriate action. Saturday afternoon we had off. It was our vacation.
Sunday was not a day of rest. The coaches gathered around noon and started looking game films from the previous game. After this we watched game films of our next opponent and prepared our game plan. If we were fortunate we'd be home at nine that evening. How many of you knew this about coaching in high school? And you thought it was all raspberries and ice cream.
Last August a sportswriter from Sports Illustrated, Stewart Mandel, wrote an article about the five worst coaches in college football. Kirk Ferentz, a fifteen year guy for the University of Iowa made the list. Ferentz happens to be the all-time leader in wins at Iowa. He makes $4 million dollars a year. One thing he doesn't do is allow players who violate team rules to hang around. In the last five years he's booted from the squad a number of top flight players who have been arrested for assault, drunkeness and poor grades. Iowa has the highest number of football graduates in the Big Ten Conference. Last year Iowa was 4-8. This year they turned that number around.
My take on fans, sportswriters included, is a justified insult. There might be exceptions but I have not met, in my sports playing and coaching experience, one sportswriter or uber critical fan who has ever put on a jock strap. I have never met a sports critic who has given their all on the field of athletic battle. I have rarely, if ever, met a sportswriter or amateur complainer who knew what the hell they were talking about.
I would make a slight wager that the SI writer, Stewart Mandel doesn't either.
