I Hope you don’t think I’m exaggerating when I tell you writing for a ‘one minute’ program seems like it takes AGES.
And I’m finding more and more that if I have to do it into the wee hours of the morning the two active brain cells just seem to go to sleep on the couch… (I almost just wrote ‘ouch’ cause that’s what it feels like – especially when the cuckoo clock strikes two AM… you don’t feel like tellin’ jokes.
I think this extended – long drawn out – political campaign ain’t for sissies… even if we do sit on the sidelines.
In a way I really feel sorry for the candidates and what they put up with… and when it comes to fund-raising what they have to put out in the way of effort. It is NOT an easy job. And when I think of the urgent deadlines and the days on end of the same-old, same old… plus probably getting chewed-out by the main character… Well after a while it just ‘ain’t worth it’! And that’s why you see people making bad mistakes and getting rid of the urge for public service – while walking off into the sunset!
Well… I could get on the soap box in
But as mentioned in the ‘promo-line’ there comes a time when the fog clears a bit and you can see the peak you’re needing to climb – or help others climb… and the dangers of driving too close to the edge become even more fearsome – and I tell you running for office and making a good job of it all ‘round – by that I mean doing a good job, doing it well, and not running over someone in the interim is no small matter.

But it’s all the more reason we should commend our soldiers, sailors, marines AND Coast Guard… along with police, firemen and other first responders – Including mothers who tend to the children, washing cloths and dishes – doing the shopping and all that stuff that goes unnoticed… I stand and give you a round of applause if you take even the slightest note… Thanks – I do pray for you in all of those necessties.
Well… off to the week before us. Tally Ho….
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
GINGRICH AND ROMNEY TURN UP TAX HEAT
Just a Minute: For the first time in a week or more – it appears that GOP candidates are beginning to do what they do better than bash each other – and that is offer new ideas about getting us out of the hole we find ourselves.
Gingrich was overshadowed in the media because of the buzz about Mitt Romney's new 20% income tax cut plan which was the latest idea to sprout from the neighborhood of Newt’s economic “skunk works” policy shop. The ‘boys’ are beginning to see the voters would like new, dynamic ideas that have some hope of catching on to repair the economic damage done by The President.
Mr. Gingrich has announced he will use dynamic scoring to show his plan's bold approach (a word Newt *loves* to work into his ad libbed remarks) that could jumpstart growth. His plan boasts the hottest concept including a 15% optional flat tax plus allowing newbie workers to earmark their payroll tax dollars into a personal IRA.
It’s a whole lot more interesting than a rehash of “who shot John” rhetoric over the past months. -- <> I’m Jack Buttram... (END)
