"Why am I all full of sand and tootsie rolls"
I love the way Calvin’s dad makes up things to tell him.
I remember once when my son was small and we were travling in the countryside I told him that those giant rolls of hay were cow eggs.
The sun doesn't actually set in the west and rise in the east. It only appears to as a result of the earth spinning on its axis. The sun basically stays put. :)
It’s because everything from the east wants to go to the west.
The BBC series “Yes Minister” is the best explanation of how government works that I’ve seen.
“In their new book, which is part ethnography and part polemic, Bachner and Ginsberg argue that Washington’s bureaucrats have grown too dismissive of the people they are supposed to serve. “
Gee, ya think?
"Why am I all full of sand and tootsie rolls"
This article goes to the personal experience I relate directly below.
If these two items DON’T move you to vote on 11/8 for the guy who spent his life in a PRIVATE SECTOR that DEMANDS EFFICIENCY and COMMON SENSE for survival, check into the nearest hospital so they can scan for a BRAIN! That this same guy spent over a decade perfecting the phrase “YOU’RE FIRED” has the bureaucrats and petty tyrants in DC WETTING THEMSELVES and is reason numero uno to put him in the White House. That alone would be all the reason I’d need to vote for The Donald!
While stationed near DC in the Air Force in the 60s, Sharon and I visited an aunt and uncle in College Park, Md.
Each morning I noticed that my uncle came down to breakfast and peered out the window at his neighbors’ driveways. He was a private sector electronics engineer who was heavily involved in the development of the first instrument landing systems for airports. Nearly all his neighbors held government jobs.
I later asked him about his routine of looking at their driveways. He responded that he was always happy to see their cars still there as it meant that they weren’t downtown wasting office supplies and making life miserable for the rest of us.
After spending 30+ years trying to make a living in what little remains of the private sector here, I fully understand why he felt the way he did.
And can someone tell me why, when there is some lower severity situation or natural event, the government sends out word that only ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES SHOULD REPORT FOR “WORK?” It begs the question WHY THE HELL DOES A TAXPAYER FUNDED BUREAUCRACY EVEN HAVE “NON-ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES”??
“Why Does the Sun Set in the West?”
Because God made it so!
