Salt of the Earth

Karen fill us in on the doings in Washington alluded to by Oyster last weekend. Apparently this is how people from this “part of the world” are treated by the representatives of the “generous American taxpayer.”

In a room full of people who embody everything we define as American, and defy every pundit and pinhead’s ill-informed blather, who could fill books of “up by your bootstraps” stories, the representative of the leader of the free world thought it best to insult and belittle them. But this was not the usual sniveling little politicians and corporate yes men; they weren’t going to take it. I'm proud to share this city with people like this.
