"bionic bottom"? what sort of humorless friends does he have? mine would call me "electric asshole"

my family business is a restaurant that has operated successfully in the same market for over 10 years. market forces are changing, and chain operations are invading our area. the number of potential customers is basically the same as when we started, our costs of doing business have tripled over the years. should there come a time when the government will pay us not to serve food?

once while hiking in the mountains in new mexico, i came across a dead rattlesnake that appeared to be partially eaten. then i noticed a few feet away a rather large dead rat. closer examination showed the rat had blood over it's face and mouth and the snake had been chewed from the inside out.

during the week in which this tragedy occurred, FEMA disposed of 13 million MRE's (meals ready to eat) that were originally set aside for hurricane katrina victims. they said they no longer had warehouse space for them. to me, knowing that our government is capable of doing something that callously stupid rivals or even surpasses the significance of the shooting tragedy. the media certainly knows where the money comes from.
