..let them drink the tea…

They think they’re drinking tea, but it’s Kool-Ade.

Yup, back when I was knee high to a grasshopper, we didn’t have no new fangled power mowers. Dad would say,”Mow the lawn” and you’d hop right to it, if you knew what was good for your rear end. You’d push that mower and the blades would spin. You’d mow it one way, then the other. Uphill all four directions. It wouldn’t have been so bad except for the 3 feet of snow, but your bare feet kinda slid through that. Did I ever tell you about how I won the battle of Fort Dix during the Great War? Well grab an apple barrel——

From Daniel Kurzman’s blog…. “California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has released a new TV ad in both Mandarin and Cantonese. This is part of her effort to reach out to the Asian community. That’s how California works, where a white woman from back East, trying to replace an Austrian governor, runs an ad in Chinese to explain to people why she hired a Mexican maid.” –Jay Leno

^And the Mexican maid was probably the one who was actually born closest to California.
