Small Town Dumbass Government

I hate it when government, especially small government interferes with people just trying to do a good thing. Case in point, Angela Prattis who is being threatened with a huge fine because she is feeding the needy kids in her neighborhood.

Here's a woman, who sees a need in her community, finds a way to solve it and is told if she continues to do so she will have to pay a $1000.00 zoning fine. It's not like she's selling the food to make a profit, the food is given to her to distribute from the church she volunteers at.  The State has even approved her residence as an approved site in which to distribute food. But of course this isn't good enough for her local government.

In all honesty it's a wonder anyone wants to get involved to better their community anymore, especially when the few that do invest the time and energy are blocked by red tape and bullcrap! I say she needs to set up a GoFundme.com site, I'd promote the hell out of it and even donate.  So much for trying to help your fellow man.  I digress.

Michelle Obama....get off your soapbox!

Michelle Obama I think you need to check yourself.  Now I'm the first to agree that kids need to eat better and exercise more. Let's face it as a nation we've got some pretty sedentary kids. They sit all day in school, get a few minutes of recess a day and when they go home they are pretty much parked in front of the TV or computer. Although it's safe to say the majority of school age kids aren't physically engaging in sports or daily exercise, there is a population of kids who are. And for the most part I am in favor of the First Lady's initiative to get kids moving.

Now getting to my point about why Michelle needs to check herself...........her comments on the Tonight Show to Gabby Douglas....to lay off the McDonald's was a bit extreme.....Let's break this down, the girl has been training hours a day for the majority of her life to go to the Olympics....which she did, and won GOLD. So what does she do the next morning? She indulges in a McDonald's breakfast sandwich, to which she get's a lecture from the First Lady for eating. Are you freaking kidding me Michelle? This girl probably burns more calories in a day than you do in a month. Look I'm all for kids developing good eating habits and exercise regimes but you are preaching to the wrong audience. She's an Olympian and in the best shape of her short life.....there isn't an ounce of fat on that girl so for the love of God LEAVE HER ALONE! Oh and by the way, you and your husband need to quit going on all these late night talk shows, every appearance you make just lessens the credibility of the White House.  But just in case you can't help yourself here is a perfect candidate for you to bellow at.
