A taste of Madrigal

Food tasters gave their opinions on three kinds of soup, three different vegetables, two salads, three sides and three meat dishes earlier this week to help pick the menu for the 35th annual Madrigal Dinner at Oklahoma State University.

Missy sent this note along today... Best Idea To Date!!

Dear Mr. President,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America's economy. Instead
of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on
lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.
You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay
them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the
following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire..  Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR.  Forty million cars ordered -  Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.
It can't get any easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress and their constituents pay their  taxes... even get old tax cheat himself Sec of Treasury Tim Giethner to pay his too... and of course Senate Ways and Means Chairman Wrangle to pay his tax due...
If you think this would work, please forward to  everyone you know.  If not, please disregard. and Mr. President...while you're at it...make
congress retire on Social Security and Medicare...I'll bet both programs would be fixed...pronto!!

Just an idea...

next time we are in the voting booth, we need FIRE those who say they are in Washington working for us and don't.

just a thought!

Especially those who are putting us more and more in debt. I would like to think my children and their children and their children's children will have a country to make home that will still be the home of the brave and land of the free.... and that they don't have to work till December 15th before they actually work for themselves in one year.. due to taxes being so high.

Washington folks are living in lala land. We need to change them every few years just to keep them honest if for no other reason..   and do a much better job picking folks for working there.  Maybe start with a reading test?  could go on and on.. as you know!!
