Just sat down after putting all STUFF away from the luncheon and I am reflecting back on the event. We just have the absolute GREATEST group of friends. Some of y'all think I just run around doing stuff and do not get to sit down and enjoy. But I get the biggest enjoyment when I look around and see all of y'all having so much fun visiting with each other. We really are a very caring group of friends. So glad so many of the '62 group joined us. Remember, any one can plan a luncheon.....you just have to find the restaurant, make sure they have a room big enough for  35+ as we do not like to sit in our seats......we jump up and down and visit (plus we are rather loud and need our own room), need separate tickets, you keep the list of how many are coming so you can tell the restaurant, posts on the websites and give Lynell the details so she can post under soc63.com - events. Jim Bailey is planning the August luncheon..............keep posted for details later. It was so much fun.

Took time away from the Lynell is Swell campaign to attend the SOC luncheon at Peaches' lovely house. Many, many thanks to the hardworking hostesses and hosts who did so much work in preparing the excellent food and drinks! That cold iced tea was most welcome on this hot day! And the food was extra yummy.

With apologies to those I missed, the pictures are now up on the Images page. Forgot to take one of myself, so you'll have to trust me when I say I'm starting to look presidential.  Or not.

It was a rough week at work last week.  But reading this site the last 3 days has made me laugh!!  I like JS's slogan - Lynell is Swell.  How catchy.  If we don't take our country back from all the free spending politicians soon, there won't be anything left to take back!  Give "em heck Lynell.  You got my vote!

Sam, the Rs would have nothing to do with me. Neither would the Ds. My two fave Presidents were Truman and Ford. People should work for what they have, and if they can't, Uncle Sam could help out, depending on the circumstances. Our country is in a mess. I like the idea of the APP ticket.

The American People Party has a nice ring to it. APP...hmmm. Your biggest corporate contributor, of course, would be IPhone. Americans, whatever your problems are, there's an APP for that.
Vote Lynell and give 'em Hell!

Wow!  What a relief.  At least, it wasn't "Left behind" or (even worse) "Left for Dead". I think your campaign is already on a roll.

I think we're on to something BIG here. Lynell would be an excellent candidate.
 
1. Adopt a "party" name ... something like "The American People Party".
 
2. Come up with a catchy slogan like ... "Take Our Country Back!".
 
3. Distribute cute campaign buttons that say ... "Lynell is Swell". [you know - similar to "I like Ike"]
 
4. Choose some non-traditional campaign colors ... like Old Gold & White. Frankly, the red, white & blue thing is way overdone by both existing parties and no longer signifies anything.
 
5. By ALL MEANS avoid debating other candidates [the Rick Perry approach]. Just print your essential two-line message on a business card and drop them from the sky on as many cities as possible. Don't be specific ... just a broad general concept like "Throw the Bums Out - Improve America - Vote Lynell".
 
6. Begin now to groom David for his future role as "First Gentleman".
 
7. Promise to turn the White House into a cat rescue sanctuary (we're pushing a new paradigm, remember?) and build a Presidential residence somewhere scenic, like Jackson Hole, Wy.
 
8. If asked by reporters for your "plan" on any given issue - just calmly state "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it".
 
Lynell, I'm getting excited about the potential for some REAL change. Frankly speaking, could you do any worse than what we've had for the last decade? Of course not.

Barry, you don't need a retainer. Your teeth look straight enough to me. "Leftnell" was bestowed upon me by one Bosko Haas in about third grade because I write with the correct hand.

Barry, maybe you've discovered the "random", "generic" Republican who is 9 points ahead of Obama in a hypothetical election.

Lynell:

Before I sign this manager's contract, I need to clear up something.  One of our esteemed fellow graduates often refers to you as Leftnell.  I hope this refers to something other than your political leanings.  Left handed?  Left behind? Left 4 dead? Out in left field?  Left coast?
As soon as you clear up this matter and I receive my retainer, I will return the signed contract to you.

Catchy slogan-I like it.  Now that I've spelled your name correctly, what changes are you making in your campaign?

I will not get far in my campaign unless my manager learns how to spell my name. A chicken in every backyard, the duck stops here, and I Like Bikes.  Tippee Canoe and Lynell Too.

I was just trying to throw off the goons from you know who.  Now they will be looking for Lynette.
Really, it was another senior moment and I was worried about my SS check.

Lynette:
I envision great things ahead!  When you get elected, my brother is a banker and would be a great replacement for Bernake.  I have a good friend with a large gun collection and he would be perfect to head the Justice Dept or Homeland Security.  You might want to look into getting rid of the EPA, Dept of Education, Energy Dept and the FDA since they serve no real purpose other than stifling productivity and driving up prices.

Barry, you would be one fine campaign manager.  And of course one's pet projects are NEVER considered "pork barrel"!

Lynelle, you should run in the next presidential election, but not with Johnny.  In case you haven't noticed, Johnny has a few latent liberal views. I think Jud or Sam would make a better running mate.  If you get on the ticket, I'll be your campaign manager-for free!  And, after you are elected, we can discuss a few of my "pet" projects for Port O'Connor, Southlake and Palo Pinto County.  These are not to be confused with the current "pork barrel" projects.

John, I am sure some corporate entity is receiving something in return for the $3 billion the American taxpayer is giving Afghanistan. In other words, you need to figure out who is profiting by continuing this war and why haven't we brought our troops home__ and end this stupid mess?
DYK? The citizens of Minnesota are suffering because they are unable to buy beer due to the state government being shut down. Don't you know that problem is going to be settled quickly?

John,  you and I should run in the next Presidential election.  As the Beatles said so eloquently, money can't buy you love.  Washington will never understand this, but you and I do get it.

Lynell, your list really hits home with me - especially the item about cutting foreign aid.
 
Last month's Senate Report on Foreign Aid spelled out that we are currently giving $320,000,000 a month to Afghanistan. That's $3.8 BILLION this year of our taxpayer hard earned money just being handed over to a country in which the inhabitants largely hate us and want us to leave. And what are we getting in return?
 
The country is so corrupt that little of it makes its way to the impoverished citizens. Since 2002 our government leaders have given over $18 BILLION to these folks. You cannot convince me that we don't have American citizens who could have better benefitted from that wasteful decision.
 
It makes one wonder why do I even pay taxes if my inept government (both parties) is so willing to just hand it out overseas? It is time for The Revolution and we can start by voting out every single person now in office and starting with a clean slate.
 
I'm serious - I mean throw out every Senator and Congressman and clean house on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Here's how I'd solve the deficit:
  • Cut grants by 50% to everyone who has taken a class in grant-writing. I know I took a class in this but never asked for a grant in anything, so it's okay to cut me.
  • Make all payroll by checks, with appropriate deductions.
  • Everyone pays taxes, including those sucking off the system.  It might be $100 a year, but people need to know that free stuff doesn't come without a price.
  • Stop subsidizing colleges.  If they can't make it on their own, there may be a reason.
  • Send employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens to jail for 72 hours.  General population. 
  • Cut foreign aid by 50%, unless the aid goes to countries where the so-called leaders take the bounty. In those cases, cut it by 100%.  Instead, do fly-overs dropping food. 
  • Cut college grants for anyone who ever failed any course in public schools.

Make that "Medicaid".

Obama is using scare techniques when he talks about SS checks.  There is more than enough money to pay not only SS, but Medicare, Medicade, military payroll, etc.  Even the Federal Budget office has said that SS checks will be mailed.  Of course, Obama could probably figure out a way to have his goons stop the checks.  This would not be the first time he would have performed an impeachable act.
