My beef is the American institution known as the welfare system. I am not in favor of welfare and I have never been less in favor of it that this past week when we witnessed welfare in its truest form, and I am talking about Halloween.

Well I’ll tell you, it’s the fact that I have to push buttons. That’s right buttons, and I have to push more and more of them every day. Take my phone for instance. When I was a little Lubitsch, phones had dials, hence the term, “dial the phone” but nowadays, dials on phones have been replaced by buttons. There are buttons for the numbers 1 thru 9 and zero, just like we had on the dials, but now they have added the “pound sign” and the “star sign.” I want to know why.

I am so mad that I could pull my hair out...if I had any hair left to pull out, which also irks me to no end. I am distraught because we are only a year away from electing a new president in this country and so far the collection of candidates that have tossed their tams into the ring have failed to address the real issues. They have been too busy dancing around the questions and seeing who can raise the most money, to pay any attention to the little guy who holds the vote, and that makes me sick.

You know exactly who you are, you are the obese of America, one of our country’s biggest problems, no pun intended.

When I turned on my TV this week I was exposed to none other than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Petty and Cruel Dictator of the Year and the current president of Iran who was ranting and raving at Columbia University and in front of the United Nations. This poorly dressed pinhead had the gall to use our forum of free speech to tell us boldface lies.

No publisher bbaker 2007-09-24T16:10:36Z Blog Entry http://lawtalkla.com/blog/2007-09/eddie-lubitsch Well, John, I’ve had good weeks and I’ve had bad weeks, but rarely have I had a week like this. First of all, I had déjà vu all over again this week. As I was sitting in my recliner chair watching reruns of The Price Is Right, my program was interrupted right in the middle of the Plinko game by a live report from a courtroom. The courtroom itself did not look familiar but there, sitting in the front row was Marcia Clark. And in through the side door comes none other than OJ Simpson dressed in the familiar jail jump suit with his hands shackled. Wow, I thought, did I get transported back to 1995? And if so, can I buy stock in Google? But alas, it wasn’t a blast to the past but simply O. J. Simpleton being arrested again. No publisher bbaker 2007-09-24T15:55:04Z Blog Entry
