Did you attend a recent TEA party? As much as I wanted to go, life just gets in the way and I can't get to things like that. Nevertheless, I can have my own pitea (pity) party right here if I want to.
Are you impressed with your new government yet? I am. I've never seen anyone spend money so fast. And money we don't have to boot! Here's what really baffles me. What are they thinking? Seriously. Think about when you were a kid. Did your parents EVER tell you when the Ice Cream man came "Go out there and ask him to put it on our tab?" If you did, I'm moving in next week.
And how about at the baseball game? Did dad ever tell the Sno-Cone guy or the Cotton Candy guy 'Hey my kid is short this week, can we get one and we'll settle up next game?' Once again, if he did, I want him to take me to the ball game.
Even if they did, what would the Ice Cream, Sno-Cone, or Cotton Candy guys have said? They'd have said, "stick it in your ear." But they would have used nice kid words like, "Sorry sonny, bring me some cash and I'll give ya the best I've got."
If we all followed what I'm calling the "Ice cream man rule," we'd be better off. If you ain't got it, don't spend it. That's what I want our government to hear. Not that they'll listen, but hey I feel better because I just dumped my TEA (and I hate tea).
