[My apologies for letting the 24jul14 sandbox overfill.  Out of desperation, I suppose, people were beginning to discuss local drone flights under the SoJ post, and other transgressions ;-)  Here's a fresh one.]

    Much better Fish,, It nice to eat solid chow again. But it takes a while to fully recover from this malady. It’s one of those “once you got it, your stuck with it” type things.
    And no,, it’s not herpes.
    See the video of Nancy Pelosi nutting up on the house floor? Someone needs to take her gun away.

    Sure, anything you say. It’s just a cold sore. BTW, what ever happened to the Herpes Epidemic that sweep our nation? It was on all the news with special reports and gaining momentum. Then AIDS came along and kicked herpes off the evening news and to the back of the line, never again to be in the national spotlight. The only constant in life is change.

    Now this Eboia flavor of the month has kicked AID’s butt off the news and is getting all the national attention and hysterics it deserves. In this snapshot of time, Eboia rules the day. Even beats out ADD and all the disorders including liberalism. Even knocked Queen Nancy’s yawner of a meltdown all the way to the dust bin of history.
    Gotta go with the flow or be left behind.

    Here we go!!, You can bet someone is dreaming up a law to curb our water well pumping.
    A new excuse to tax the crap out of anyone with a well.

    Attention The Pharaoh of the Phoothills has issued a decree……
    The Union forced offline due to power outage
    Posted on August 5, 2014 by jeffpelline
    “1:03 p.m. update:
    The Union’s backup generator has a problem, and we have to go offline. It may be a while before we’re able to provide further updates on the power outage.”
    In this digital era, not to mention radio, The Union has got to come up with a better plan to deal with power outages. It’s outdated.

    So let it be written….so let it be done!

    Jeffy In DRAG? Now don’t get TOO excited Mr. Bill. See? It wasn’t me rooting through your secret closet.
    Look what Hamas has said!!
    “Their God changes the path of our rockets in mid-air, said a terrorist,” was the headline in the July 18 edition of the Jewish Telegraph.
    It was a partial quote from Barbara Ordman, who lives in Ma’ale Adumim on the West Bank.
    Her exact quotation was: “As one of the terrorists from Gaza was reported to say when asked why they couldn’t aim their rockets more effectively: “We do aim them, but their God changes their path in mid-air.”

    Walt, there was a big stir at the benefits office today. They were scrambling to find an interpreter as someone came walking in speaking English.

    MINNESOTA CAFE CHARGES “MINIMUM WAGE FEE,” LIBERALS OUTRAGED
    This is currently the most-read story on the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s web site: “Stillwater cafe faces heat for adding ‘minimum wage fee’ to tab.” Minnesota’s Democratic legislature recently voted to raise the state’s minimum wage to $8 an hour, 75 cents more than the federal level. Naturally, that increase is leading to higher prices:
    A small cafe in Stillwater has thrown itself into the big battle over Minnesota’s minimum wage increases, inundating the cafe with dozens of phone calls and online comments this week after it tacked on a 35-cent fee to meal tabs.
    Oasis Cafe owner Craig Beemer said the fee is needed to offset the 75-cent wage hike that took effect Aug. 1, the first time Minnesota’s minimum wage has increased in a decade. Even with only half a dozen servers, Beemer says it will cost him $10,000 more a year to pay servers $8 an hour instead of the federal rate of $7.25 an hour.
    What is unique about the Oasis is that the cafe wants its patrons to know where the higher prices are coming from and put the fee on the bill.
    In the Democratic Party, where magical thinking reigns, this is regarded as dirty pool:
    “We believe that the industry is overreacting,” Wade Luneburg of the MN State Council of UNITE HERE Unions told the Star Tribune this week. “Putting [minimum wage] fees on tickets and passing the cost on to consumers directly is strange at best, and creates an ‘us against them’ mentality while ordering dinner.”
    It is “strange” for businesses to pass costs on to their customers? Who, exactly, does Mr. Luneburg think pays those costs? No doubt he has no clue why low-wage workers are being laid off in Minnesota, either. That’s what happens when costs can’t be passed on. Every now and then, it is good to be reminded how dumb liberalism is.
    Should be done here as well.

    RussS 954pm – Thanks for this important comment Russ. It is critical that customers are reminded what part of their bill is due to government diktat, especially mandates that go beyond the bounds of employer-employee relationships. And especially important to highlight the butt stupid mentality of liberals that taxes and fees and mandated add-ons should be quietly absorbed by the risk taking business owners.
