THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BROUGHT TO YOU BY CARMEX

I hear we're broke again. It's hard not to write broken but since I made a rare who/whom mis-usage yesterday, I figured I had better be more grammatically correct.

Our country, I mean. Surprise! How can all that spending catch up to us?

My solution is to sell sponsorships. Why not start at the nation's capital where those politicians get us in all this debt anyway?

Carmex would be the perfect sponsor for the Lincoln (get it?) Memorial. For the Korean War, Kia. You see, it makes perfect sense and it brings in more money to be spent in our country's coffers. Well, you didn't think I would offer an idea that might just lower our indebtedness did you? If they can't or won't do it, why do you think I would.

So here is a list of White House occupants I have seen in person. Gerald Ford, Roselyn Carter, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, George H. W. and Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. Gerald and George H.W. and Barbara shook my hand--that's why I can call them by their first names.

In today's mail I was invited to meet George W. Bush, but it would cost me $500. I recently hit a button on FaceBook that said I like him, but I don't think I like him that much. But his book Decision Points is a must read.

See, my idea about charging for our national treasures may not be that far off the mark. Let's see; would it be left or right of the mark?
