Socialism oozing from his engine ...
Almost became a socialist today. Now, as a conservative, that's a little like a Christian saying, almost became an atheist today. What happened: I was in one of those big, big supermarkets, the kind with a restaurant attached — well, I was told it would take 15 minutes for my cheeseburger because that's how long it takes to cook the burger all the way through.
I thought, in a socialist world, we could send the cook to re-education. You know, for being counter-revolutionary or some other trumped-up charge.
Here's a thought: If you want a burger anything more than medium, order chicken. A cow gave his life for your meal; the least you can show is a little respect for the sacrifice by cooking the beef properly. If you don't want to respect the meal, order something less respectful. I mean, who cares about a chicken? They're cannibals.
