Since moving to Florida, I needed to go to the emergency room.
Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my MAGIC GREEN HAT.
When I went into the E.R., I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left.
I guess they decided that they weren’t that sick after all.
Cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time.
Here’s the hat:
It also works at Dept. of Motor Vehicles.
It saved me 5 hours.
At the Laundromat, three minutes after
entering, I had my choice of any machine,
most still running.
If you live in Texas, it might cut your wait
time at the grocery store.
But… don’t try it at McDonald’s.
The whole crew ran out the back door
and I never did get my order!
[Note: Received from a friend on email, don’t know the origin of the email but I am guessing that anyone who would wear one of these will not have the last laugh. I thought everyone knew that the US has no real border security.]
Some ideas for ways to raise $$$ from real Republicans (or my reply to RNC fundraiser request) 1) fire Ben Ginsberg 2) announce Ron Paul as a frontrunner for Secretary of Treasury 3) then resend this request
TAMPA, Fla. — Top Republicans are fighting one another over what one party leader called “one of the biggest power grabs” in the party’s history.
Senior GOP officials are accusing the Romney campaign’s chief attorney, Ben Ginsberg, of pushing through a rules change for delegate selection that would give Mitt Romney enormous power over the primary process should he win the White House and seek re-election in 2016.
“It shifts the power to select delegates from the state party to the [party’s presidential] candidate,” Republican National Committee Vice Chairman Jim Bopp told The Washington Times on Sunday. “And it would make the Republican Party a top-down, not bottom-up, party.”
A room with a view (unlike the one we have in Tampa)
The road to Tampa went through Gulf Breeze this year where Julia Albath and I spent some heavy duty beach and pool time. We had a blast amid luxury accommodations and ate some great sea food while there too. Then we picked up just a little too much sun and headed on into Tampa. We arrived yesterday. Last night I had dinner with Tiana Wallace and caught up on several years of adventures. She is such a lovely young lady; God is using her ministry and continuing to grow her in Him!
Then we spent today at the Ron Paul Rally “We Are the Future” at the Sun Dome. It was a huge crowd — my estimate is somewhere around 10,000. I had special seating with delegates and alternates and lots of amenities while we listed to Doug Wead, Jack Hunter (Southern Avenger), Lew Rockwell, Barry Goldwater Jr., Jordan Page, John Popper, Aimee Allen, Rand Paul, Carol Paul and last but not leastRon Paul himself. It was a star studded cast with one new name on the list, Maine’s new National Committeewoman Ashley Ryan who I am sure we will see more of in the future.
We are picking up reports from people who worked with the committee process all week. Amidst on again / off again announcements for the convention (creating confusion for all) the delegates are busy networking and getting ready to meet the rest of the week.
I’ll give you more of a report later in the week, but suffice it to say there are those who think the consultants for the RNC and the executive committee should make all the decisions and those like Morton Blackwell and the rest of us ‘grassroots’ types who don’t think that is such a good idea. Of course if you aren’t going to follow the rules anyway, it makes very little difference what the rules say, but then most of us respect the rule of law and want to keep the rules and abide by the Constitution. The Republican Party really needs to at least look like it is trying to represent the people — especially if we want our people to continue to contribute time and money. At least that is the way I view matters and I’ve only been viewing matters since the Reagan years. More on the committee process here >>>
By the way, I’ll be wearing a pin this week that goes back to the Goldwater era which was a gift from my cousin Melinda this year when she knew I would be making this trip. It once belonged to my Aunt Alta.
Tonight, we had a dinner at Whiskey Joe’s on the bay near our hotel with Ron Paul and Carol Paul and all of his delegates and alternates tonight. It was very well attended and very crowded, but wonderful to be with everyone. I got to visit with Carol briefly and convey my love for her and the entire family. I had seen Robert Paul earlier and got to visit briefly also. I gave up the photo op with Ron because the line was too long but he looked good and spoke brilliantly and certainly thrilled the crowd all day!
Many are covering this convention and our nation in prayer. Many have been standing on principles for many years. Please join them and let us ask God for His guidance in all that we do and say this week. May we unite in standing for life and for liberty in our land!
