This morning started off as usual, up at 7AM, downstairs, turned off the alarm, opened the front door and there it was in it's usual spot............The daily "blow me out of the sky" newspaper. Checked first the obituary to see if I was listed before me having my first cup of coffee. A little rainy today, so guess I have to sit inside with my cup and my paper. Ichiro, our star right fielder had just set another record of getting 200 hits or more per season for the past 10 CONSECUTIVE years. WOW!!! amazing. Nothing really new on the front page........some grandmother just shot her 2 granddaughters, husband and herself. Guess she just went birzurk. SSSOOOOO might as well have another cup of coffee before I proceed with the reading of the daily " Whatcha say bro"................WOW! the coffee seems to be working a little faster than usual today.........so better take my paper ............to the reading room with me. Just opened to page 2 ...........HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! IS THIS REALLY TRUE.?...... The Republicans have got a plan.....and it's in writing??????? Maybe they had this all along but were holding it secret for the right moment. WOW!!!! PLEDGE TO AMERICA............like the sound of it already. Lets see now what does this all mean!!!!! Well, Boehner is looking good, tan, tall and what's that he has in his hand.........a tea kettle?? and he's making this announcement from where?................a lumberyard? must have a secret meaning. Got to read this.
Seems, like I heard all of this before.............let's see now......OH YAH!!!!!!1994 Newt Gingrich.....outside some ice cream parlor or something like that..................CONTRACT WITH AMERICA................ great titles. Lets see what the difference is. NNNOOOTTTHHHIIINNNGGG!!!!! Well in all fairness.....the cover is different, the presenter is different, the place it was presented from is different, but the inside is IDENTICAL. Could it be that it was duplicated??????NAH, the Republicans wouldn't do that. They can't believe that the people that they want to protect are that stupid. OH WEll I would like to see the title as PLEDGE TO AMERICANS.
