The Grass is Calling

Chow Acre is pleased to announce that Millard Phil-Moore has joined the Wondrous Muck staff as an intermittent infection. A voracious consumer of further processed caffeine and nicotine products, MPM’s steely constitution mixes well with the hovel’s striking similarity to a large animal hospital engulfed in flames. An attorney by family pressure, MPM’s legal expertise is a valued addition to what can best be described as unfocused malaise and fascination with ‘50s era True Crime Magazine covers. Juan Don.

It won’t be long before joints are cheaper than cigarettes.

I remember when Marlboros cost 37 cents a pack -- and my unsolicited AARP card isn’t that wrinkled. Call me a class warfare agitator, but isn’t their another way to fund the S-CHIP program without accessing further monetary penalties against an addicted minority? If the underlying motive is to make tobacco products so expensive that only the lucky few can afford to puff away a lung or two, then it’s working. But if the goal is to raise revenue for the medical care of sick kids without health insurance, then the method is counterproductive: the time honored “squeezing blood from a turnip” adage is applicable.

Here’s a novel idea: Tax the rich. JB

Every time I see Michelle Malkin in action, I immediate think of an amateur colonoscopy gone terribly wrong.

Who would have guessed Anson Burlingame is a “lifelong Republican?” I appreciate the heads up.

Does John Cragin collect vintage pith helmets? If so, will lucky Twin Hills’ clubbers receive a special treat when he attacks the Easter buffet table adorned in flashy British West India parade whites? Hopefully, the Major can engage the saucier fare without soaking his flowing plume.

Thank goodness Carol Stark believes Steve and Cokie Roberts phone-in “liberal” columns. It’s safe to assume that C. Keith can read the paper without frightening other Waffle House enhanced hash brown gourmets. But then “liberal” views in Jasper County are best expressed by conservatives upset over spending money on stupid earmarks, like volcano monitoring. MR
