I ate lunch at a Cracker Barrel today. A couple tables over there was a young man in his early 20's with a small child about 2 years old, the man had a prosthetic leg. I guessed he probably lost his leg in Iraq. After finishing lunch I was browsing around the Country Store area, I was looking at a T-shirt with a fishing scene on it. This lady walks up to me and asked if I was a fisherman and I said, yes. She said, she was fishing for votes for George Bush*. I said, you aren't going to catch any here. She then starts telling me how she started praying for GW to become President 10 years ago before he was even Governor of Texas. She said, can I ask you a question, did "GAWD" tell John Kerry to run for President. I said, I have have no idea. She said that some people think GW acts cocky but the reason was that "GAWD" came to him 4 years ago and told him to run for President and that is why he is so self confident. (This is where I could kick myself in the ass for not asking if he was on drugs or booze at the time). Anyway I was already upset after seeing the guy with the prosthetic leg. I said I just sat across from a young man with a prosthetic leg and he probably lost his leg in Iraq and I read this war has already cost every taxpayer $3400. (She is starting to back away from me at that point). I said, think of how many schools and how much good we could have done in this country with that much money. She said, that this is a rich country and we have schools and "GAWD" wanted us to help the people in Iraq. I said, lady
you're nuts! She said, she would pray for me. I said, I will pray for
John Kerry. (At this point she vanished into the restroom).
