New Small Business Survey

Then promptly sat on her 400lb butt and watched him dig whist stuffing Cheetos and Coca Cola down her gullet. I watched these two slobs have it out from the comfort of my front patio over a cup of pure 100% fresh ground Kauai coffee and listening to "Prairie Home Companion" on NPR.

My greatest concern was that this drunken fool and his bellicose blimp of a girlfriend were going to have heart attacks, or shoot each other. Then as a Red Cross First Responder I would have been obliged to attempt to save them. Something I would do, but stoically, with a well concealed reluctance.

The "Engine" is a obnoxious, drunken ass. I really don't think his problems stem from anything Obama has done. I think it's all a personal issue.

If these people are Americas future. We're screwed.

"...while listening to Prairie Home Companion"... Dissonance f'er sure. But your observations just might make a good episode for Lake Woebeggone...

I've known "engines of the economy" and he's not an engine. Some kind of caboose maybe..

My observations are of the real world, as it exists.

Not some fairytale theoretical world where all employers are fair and just and all small businessmen are "pillars of the community", and all who dwell therein are highly moral, highly educated scientists, engineers and pious holy men. (And all who don't measure up to these standards deserve to live in squalor.)
