“I think this is absolutely crazy. Why would you want to
increase the cost of energy and kill more American jobs at a time when
the American people are still asking where are the jobs? Clear enough?”
If you guessed John Boehner, 61st and current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, member of the Republican Party, U.S. Representative from Ohio's 8th congressional district, government crybaby and leader of all job makers, who by the way, don't really make many jobs, you are correct.
Visiting a local vineyard/winery this weekend which presented a show by a local Shakespeare repertory company (The Shakespeare Factory- a professional non-union ensemble company who employ the staging
conditions of Shakespeare’s time as closely as possible for each
production- see http://theshakespearefactory.com/). Wine tastings were offered as well as stews and artisan bread to enhance the 'period' atmosphere. I was 'tasting' the wines with the three, lovely ladies accompanying me for the production at one of the two, heavily attended tasting stations and attempting to allow the limited staff to attend to the willing tasters by grouping ourselves at the corner of the bar, myself at the bar and the others branching outward away from me and the bar and passing four glasses back and forth in attempt to allow the four of us to taste all six wines offered while leaving the remainder of the tasting station free for other tasters.
In the midst of an extremely enjoyable wine tasting experience (and the wines were quite good too) I noticed a rather sour looking gentleman at the far end of the crowd, the number of which I am not quite certain, who appeared to grow more perturbed as time passed.
Finally he stepped forward and said to ME, not to the person operating the tasting station, that 'you have monopolized this tasting' and not allowed others to partake and . . . (not really sure exactly what else he said) but he was clearly unhappy that he had not gotten HIS WINE! Guess you could say he was whining about his lack of wine. I responded only by stating the obvious fact that this was a 'wine tasting' and that I and three others were together tasting our allotted six samples of wine.
The obviously conscientious caretaker of the tasting station quickly spoke up and asked the gentleman what he would like and assured him that it would be served forthwith. The man, still clearly unhappy, took a glass (maybe two, I didn't really pay much attention to the details) and began to depart the station but in his befuddlement about the process of wine tasting and a possible desire to maintain his imaginary upper hand, he made it a point to mumble unmistakably in my direction. . . "ASSHOLE."
Who do you think was the asshole????. . . . (and do you think this tragic situation left him 'heartbroken'?)
