Well, one of them, a regular at the Getaway, just retired last year... She was so relieved to finally get out... Another guy, who BTW has played bass in some of my various bands, is still there... He's an oceanographer... People just don't realize that our government is trying to regulate fishing so we don't completely fish out our oceans... The Tea Party folks would be perfectly happy if that happened and when fish got to $50 a pound they would complain that the government should have done something about it...

That is the maddening thing about the Tea Party... When the shit hits the fan they blame the government but they don't want the government from doing the things that are needed to keep the shit from hitting the fan...

Just last year when my friend, Mr. Clifford, was dieing he was sent to long term care... Medicare only pays for 90 days of long term care before the patient has to pay until spending just about all his or her savings... Enter Mr. Clifford's daughter, anti-government Tea partier... She was in line to get Mr/ Clifford's saving account upon his death... Boy, was she pissed that Medicare only pay's 90 days because it meant that Mr. Clifford's saving would get eaten up...

That's what I mean... These people hate government until they need government and then they can't get enough government???

Go figure...

This is the Tea Party... Ignorant... Greedy...
