Uplifting

If you're offended by porcelain, you should stop reading now, because I'm going to be talking about my new toilet.  Who could have imagined that a new throne could be so uplifting?  Literally, the installer referred to it as "the throne," and he built a 5" tall box which raises it up for my comfort.  It's heavenly, and has a satisfying whoosh.  How pathetic is my life that a new Kohler makes me so happy?  By the way, one of the two best brands of thrones came with a defective valve which had to be replaced immediately.  Must be Chinese porcelain.

It is common knowledge that 47% of Americans pay no income tax.  The plight of those who are working and not earning enough to have to file is lamentable.  Willard the Mitt, however, referred to that large number of lazy louts who don't want to work, and have found a way to suckle the public teat.  He called them victims, which they are.  Liberalism has robbed them of self-respect and the joy of personal achievement, and Mitt's words were not only inoffensive but uplifting.  I am encouraged that he understands the nature and extent of the problem.

BY ANOTHER WAY:  The installer is a contractor who specializes in remodels and who also has horses, and with whom first born has a barter agreement for each others' services.   He regaled me with stories of how excessive government regulations have negatively impacted his business.  He also put me off solar with his tales of how his solar powered home requires constant, expensive maintenance.  We are appparently of one mind.

FYI:  We sold the 1987 Aerostar before it nickel and dimed us to death.  For a minute there earlier today, when a sputtering vehicle drove by, we held our breath, because we don't know how to explain "As is" in Spanish.
