Benjamin Franklin would approve of beer at the River Festival

Talking back to Ext. 333

"I just read Roshana Ariel's article in Tuesday's Salina Journal, and I want everyone to know how much I love them. Everybody that's reading this. I love the idiots; I love the morons; I just love you all."

It's nice to see your meds are working.

"I hope this cheered you up. I read your article in the paper. I hope everyone saw the rainbow last night. It was perfect and it was beautiful in the east, and then it had a shadow above it. It was perfect. You couldn't have beat that rainbow."

Forget the meds. We want what you are taking.

"I have an answer to the city's budget woes. I haven't had a raise at my job for two years, so maybe this year the city should not give raises to their employees. That would save a little money."

Want to save some real dough? Add employees of the school district, county and other public bodies to that list.

"I see another Republican senator got busted for having an extramarital affair. I think we need to waste $40 million of taxpayer money for a hearing just like the Republicans did with Bill Clinton. Why is it OK when the Republicans do something like this, but it's a sin when Democrats do it?"

We can think of two reasons Clinton's case is different. One: The senator isn't president of the United States. Two: Clinton's wrongs, among others, were lying while under oath and for pressuring an employee to perjure herself.

"I really enjoyed the Smoky Hill River Festival this year. Especially since we could sit and drink beer with other church members and enjoy ourselves and have a good time."

Like Benjamin Franklin said, "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
