    Go Penzeys!!!! - Jul 22nd, '10

    A Note From Bill Penzey

    "Are we really going to leave unchecked the companies whose reckless pursuit of billions have so damaged our economy and our environment, and instead let our frustrations be redirected at the people who have spent their lives doing our unwanted jobs for dollars an hour? In our need to restore our sense of self-control are we actually going to reward politicians who are not working to bring us together, but instead are forsaking America's beautiful 234-year history of diversity? These are decent people's lives, real loving families where children will be separated from parents, where grandparents will be separated from grandchildren for what possible gain?"

    Right on Bill. You make me proud to be one of your customers.

    Diversity is what makes USA great, of course my husband would always tell my mom, speak English, (she spoke broken English,)kinda like him, may she rest in peace...

    Currently enjoying our Tropical Depression, brought in the Orchids and the Dogs, thats all I care about for right now...



    And I'm proud that you're my son and put up things like this for us all to see and think about.

    I think I have commented something like "Jon for President," more than a few times here. I seem to always agree with your views and the views that you support. Have you ever considered running for some sort of political position? Even if it was just for a city council position or something, I think your point of view and snarkiness could be most useful. And if not useful, at least it could be entertaining to you and to the rest of us who "get it."

    (I am currently dealing with some local politics in the small town where I own some property, and let me tell you, it would be a major breath of fresh air to have someone like you on the council!)

    Jon for Council would totally make a great sitcom. But I think he'd tell everyone where to stick it - and the local polits would probably dislike that intensely.

    It's deeply funny to imagine though!

    I was once on a committee of school board/clergy/townspeople to decide what should be taught in sex education K-12 at the school district where I taught. When the only other free thinking member of the group asked what I thought should be taught my reply was, "You don't want to hear what I really think, so I'd better be quiet for now." 30 years later I'm sure it still isn't taught there.

    See I think that's probably the reason that a lot of smart folk don't want to get into politics - they know it will be really frustrating. Even more so because apparently common sense is in short supply among politicians. Sadly.

    I'm so happy to read Bill Penzey's words. He sounds like a good, good person. May there be many more like him.

    If you check the Flicker pics on the right, you'll see that Jon's still able to sit up and take a little nourishment.

    ...A sister hasn't updated her blog in over a year either, but there's hope... It's amazing what doesn't get done when there are many irons in the fire or family nearby.

    Mind you, as he's trying out various alcoholic concoctions, I would be surprised if he's sober enough to string a coherent sentence together.

    Shurely shome mishtake, hick!
