SNOWBIRDING #2: LOST IN THE FLEA MARKET

Generally, Drinks before Dinner is true to its name: it recounts conversations that take place at the end of the day. But when Barbara and I are on the road, these confabs are what keep us going. After driving for nine or ten hours, we are out of words and ready for sleep. That is, until the lively couple next door start throwing each other against the wall, or the quaint heating/cooling system resumes operation. If anyone knows, please tell us how so many of these units have survived since the beginning of the twentieth century. ------------------------------------------- --Did we pass it yet? --No. It’s closer to the state line. --Mustn’t miss the world’s biggest Jesus. --Well, anyway, the world’s biggest bust of Jesus. --It’s big all right. How tall would you say? --Maybe twenty-five or thirty feet. At least that, if you include the beseeching arms. --You have to include the arms, that’s the main thing. Is it blessing or beseeching? --The Solid Rock Church. Well named, consi

Barbara has the week off. If she didn't, she might caution against writing on something about which I know so little. But since that admonishment applies to almost everything in Drinks Before Dinner, onward and upward Glenn Beck: “When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, or whatever, I’m just like, ‘Oh shut up.’ I’m so sick of them because they’re always complaining.” “The only [Katrina victims] we’re seeing on television are the scumbags.” Michele Bachmann: “I don’t know where we’re going to get all this money because we’re running out of rich people in this country.” Rush Limbaugh: “We’ve already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. Income Tax.” Ann Coulter: “I don’t really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating [Dr. George] Tiller in the 203rd trimester…. I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don’t want to impose my moral values on others.” “There are a lot of bad Republicans. There are no good Democrats.” Rand Paul: (on BP) “Sometimes, acc

WHEN BEING RIGHT IS NOT RIGHT ENOUGH

--Uh oh, you printed something off the Internet. Never a good sign. --Just a little confessional. An interlude to share during drinks. --Who’s the confessor? --Our good friend Congressman Bob Inglis, Republican from South Carolina. But only for a few more weeks. --Whoa, South Carolina. That requires wine, I’ll be right back. --OK, what’s the latest from Bubba Bob Inglis? --He’s had it, he’s kaput, out of a job. He lost the primary to a Tea Party type. --What happened? --He told his constituents to turn off Glenn Beck, and he failed to use the S word about Obama. --The S word would be Socialist? --Correct. When pushed to describe Obama as a socialist, Inglis waffled. All he’d say was that Obama, quote, “wants a very large government that I don’t think will work and that spends too much and it’s inefficient and it compromises freedom and it’s not the way we want to go.” It says his audiences paid no attention because they were just listening for the S word. When he didn’t use it, they
