Again?...Oh Come on...Not again! Obama called you and me "Lazy" last week and those
are fightin' words! I've worked hard all my life to develop my career and never
had the luxury of spending one single day at home on my son's birthday...he was
born on the 4th of July...I was always gone...announcing. I've worked hard to develop
my radio program into one of the most listened to in the United States. I've worked
hard to learn and develop a real estate business that has seen some severe "drought".
My wife has worked hard all of her life to maintain a beautiful home and also work
for school systems and a hospice. My neighbors all work hard to maintain some level
of a lifestyle that is increasingly being taken away because of regulations.
Enough!...Enough!!..Stick your hands out Obama, let's just see how many callouses
you have from working...ever! You "silver spoon" demagogue, how dare you call me
lazy! Thirty minutes with me cleaning horse stalls and you'd be on oxygen and possible
life support...mmm – not a bad thought!....
In our "Darn Nice Folks" paragraph this week, I want to introduce you to Don and
Ardys Burt down in sunny California. Don is a past president of the American Quarter
Horse Association. We have known Don and 'Ardy' for many years and they "brighten"
up any room anytime you're with them. When I was selected to announce the World
Equestrian Games in Spain in 2002, they were with us and made the trip one to cherish
forever! As of late, Don's been fighting some health problems but he has the greatest
nurse in the world..Ardy's tough!
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma...I've been coming to this great Midwestern city for over
thirty years. I announced my first National Finals Rodeo here in 1982 and was selected
to announce here until 1984 when the NFR moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. Also in 1982,
I was selected to announce the World Quarter Horse Show in OKC and I'm celebrating
30 years of this city's great hospitality. From the western wear stores to the
Really
Good Restaurants, OKC is a "Cowboy Town"! I love it!
Makes you wonder?? How dumb can some people be?? I fly a lot and most of the TSA
people are cordial and try to be helpful and efficient. But to the percentage of
TSA "help" that actually would be better qualified to clean dog kennels...find another
job! In St. Louis, I'm just about to go through the checkpoint and this "Bright
Bulb" says "put your crutches on the counter and walk through...?? I said "Sir.
If I could walk through without my crutches I wouldn't
need the crutches!" This
Wizard of Intellect was taken aback by this remark and stated again "Give me those
crutches and go through"!!...I do not have patience with obstinate people that are
'dumb' and I simply stated "Have you been this stupid all your life or is it a trait
that you've acquired recently???: Oh Goody! Here comes the supervisors and finally
we get this mess straightened out!...On to my flight and he to his dog kennel!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!...You hear those words and do you stop to really understand
what they mean? Have a Happy Day giving thanks for all the blessings that the Good
Lord has given you and me! I have soooo much to be thankful for and yes...it will
be a happy day with my family and with the warm memories of "Thanksgivings Past"...To
you I say God Bless and "Happy Thanksgiving"!
Adios Buckaroos and Buckarettes!
Fly the Flag
God Bless!!
