Pot. Kettle. Black. Mr. Senator
Cats: Canada|почистванеOh, the irony is thick here.
The Senate says the penny’s gotta go.
An obsolete body of unelected political appointees pointing a finger a the lowly penny for being obsolete.
A pasture of sinecured bagmen and yes men (and women) who are paid a princely sum have decreed that the lowly penny is worth less than its cost.
They don’t even get the irony.
Or maybe they do, and they’re laughing at us.
Here is my column on the penny and the Senate.

Nice to see you posting without prompting. Looks like my job is done here.
I’ll be missing for most of this week on my blog. I’ve bought only two presents and I might be in big trouble!
See you soon, here or there.

I’m too lazy to sign up for an account which is what the paper wants me to do so I’ll just say ‘great story’!
Happy New Year!

GT, have you fallen off the blogging truck again? Let’s get with the program.
I hope you had a Happy New Year!

I don’t know….I have long advocated for the abolishment of the US penny, though not incredibly vociferously. I am not sure of all the pros and cons, and like Dale, I am lazy.
In other news, in case you have not lost complete interest by this point, I have FINISHED my series on Melissa Gilbert (which had entertained you back in the day) and it is running for 9 days straight, starting over with episode 1 today. Just letting you know in case you actually wanted to see what happens.
