Vacation - Okay or Not Okay?
« on: July 26, 2017, 10:38:32 AM »
I thought this was pretty funny. The Boston Globe wrote a fluff piece on how great it was that former president Obama is taking lots of vacations now, then turned around and attacked former not president Mitt Romney for being on vacation while the health care debate is going on. Huh?

I'm mainly disappointed in the lack of dog transportation coverage.  =(

That is a very odd comparison to make. Who cares about Mitt anymore? ???
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

. . . how great it was that former president Obama is taking lots of vacations now . . .
Vacations from WHAT?

Don't you have to have an actual JOB to take an actual vacation?

(I don't consider making an occasional speech for mucho dinero as being the sort of job you need a vacation from.)
