Sunday Morning Talkies 7/29/2007 9:51:06 AM
Today I'm taking a break from my daily report of what is happening at my local haunt; Riley's Restaurant.
This morning, while watching the Sunday 'Talking Heads' covering subjects ranging from Alberto Gonzales to the week completed in sports, and the list of candidates that want to be King or Queeen of America.
I have come up with a simple test for the worthiness of our Nations next leader. Let's pretend that you have invited your favorite candidate to dinner in your home, and he or she accepted the invitation. Here is how you can tell if this person is one that you would vote for.
A. Is your favorite on time?
This is a simple telling of how important this dinner and meeting you are.
B. Does this candidate offer to help set the table, bring prepared food from the kitchen or offer to clear the table after the meal?
This may seem trivial on first blush, but this candidate is just another human being, although one that has a lofty goal, but how firm are his/her feet planted in real life.
C. After preparing this fine meal, you receive a phone call from the candidate, cancelling the invitation due to matters coming up at the last minute. What do you think about your favorite candidate now?
While the President and Congress remain on the "In the tank approval ratings" Your only question now should be, when will you stand and serve?
This morning one of the 'talking heads' suggested that it's time some of the candidates consider dropping out. I have to agree...let's make this a horse race, rather than a 'running of the bulls' for the next six months.
Back to Riley's, manana.
Ciao for now.
