06/11: RANT - Bleeding Hearts
I have a problem with bleeding hearts. That is why I have a difficult time voting for democrats. It seems their answer to every problem is to throw money on it, from the comfort of their upper middle-class homes secluded from the trials that face the working class daily.
I could care less what two people do in the privacy of their bedroom. Just as my sexual peccadilloes are nobody’s business other than that of my partner, I am a live and let live sort of guy when it comes to another’s lifestyle.
However, it bothers me no end when I am waiting in line at the local Wawa to pay for my cup of black, hot coffee and the person in front of me is paying for their groceries with food stamps. And then they are buying several packs of Marlboros with cash.

21/06: Bar Exam
Another bar in Millville is up for grabs according to the rumor mill. BoJo’s, known is some circles as Blow-Jobs, is not under contract as of the writing of this article, but may be in the near future.
Rumors, like chaff, are blowing in the wind. The first rumor I heard was that Indians, of the Hindu persuasion, not fire-water drinkers, were purchasing it. That is disconcerting on many levels, if you will indulge me and allow me to stereotype entire races of people.
Indians would likely sell the liquor license to some big box chain restaurant. If you have followed the Bar Exam these past six years, you certainly know my feelings about big boxes. Get your mind out of the gutter! I am referring to big box chain restaurants.
Indians do not run bars. The building would then be converted into a storefront featuring tee shirts with cheesy slogans, and cheap plastic knick-knacks covered with lead-based paint. Not a pretty sight.
Let me lay those rumors to rest. Indians, Hindu or otherwise, are not buying the business. The next rumor is that Greeks are inquiring. That is another story, because Greeks know how to cook. Their food is digestible. And they bathe regularly.
That rumor is true. A local and respected Greek family has shown an interest, according to my sources. My sources know.
So that led to another rumor that they were not buying the liquor license, only the building. I hope that this one is false. To have a successful restaurant, especially with the crowds that we will soon be catering to in Millville, having a liquor license is requisite.
