Obama Day

Betty Clair and I are about to head to Marion, AL for the weekend to spend some time with family.  I am very excited about getting to visit Marion, which is located in Perry County, because it was the first county in America to institute a paid holiday in honor of Barack Obama.  I will feel truly blessed to be in a town where "the anointed one" is held in such high regard.  

As you will see in the link, Perry County is one of the poorest counties in Alabama, but this is no reason to deny Mr. Obama the privilege of being honored in such a way.  Though the use of county funds is extremely egregious and irresponsible, Obama is very deserving of this recognition.  I am glad the county board is understanding of this fact.

Note:  This was written with a WHOLE lot of sarcasm.
