To your health!
You’ve heard of the old adage “Never discuss politics or religion in polite company.” Well, we think we can now safely add health care reform to that list. The recent town yell meetings being held across the fruited plains have changed the structure of traditional family conversations. For example, let’s take the typical talk between a father and his prospective son-in-law. Father: (brow furrowed) My boy, I don’t really care that you want to raise my future grandchildren as Wiccans, or that you’re an avowed anarchist. But I really, really need to know one thing. Prospective son-in-law: Shoot. Father: Single-payer, non-profit insurance cooperatives, or deregulation of the private insurance industry? Prospective son-in-law: Sir, I’m not sure what… Father: Oh God, I knew it! Prospective son-in-law: But… Father: That’s it, get out. Never call my daughter again! Prospective son-in-law: I didn’t even say anything! Father: I don’t care. I know what you’re thinking, and I just like hearing myself yell. And what the heck’s a Wiccan, anyway? (Door slams). So let’s be careful out there in casual conversations with your friends and family. You wouldn’t want to be accused of being a communist, fascist, socialist, greed-monger, troglodyte, in favor of euthanizing Granny, or, God forbid, a Canadian. Speaking of Canada (pardon the lame transition), we just got an entry for our photo contest from folks who took a trip to British Columbia. This should serve as a reminder that the deadline for submitting photos is fast approaching. The date has been extended (slightly) to August 25, and you don’t actually need to go anywhere to win. Just be creative and give us a photo with the Kenwood Press somewhere in the picture. If you need to get inspired, drop by the office and take a look at the many, many photos up on our walls. For all the details on the contest (there is money involved, you know), go to page 11. Have fun and good luck! |
