Ask Aunt Rona
Dear Aunt Rona:
I don't know if it's really worth it to vote anymore. Here we are paying $700-billion to bail out greedy Wall St. bankers and all the politicians are talking about is how many houses the other one has or putting lipstick on pit bulls?
And then they have the nerve to close the bars on election day when you really need a good stiff belt.
Fed Up
Dear Fed:
Remember what another senator from Illinois, Everett McKinley Dirkson, once said, "a billion here and a billion there and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
I'd say don't give up the vote, dearie. A lot of people paid a high price to secure it for us. And they do open the bars as soon as the polls close.
And I don't know if a good stiff belt is the solution to all life's problems. Suspenders work just fine or a nice pretty sash.
Love,
Aunt Rona
(Should Aunt Rona be timed out again. She does like a little nip once in a while [and the occasional tuck.] Let us know).
