I am not the only person who will remember Saturday, October 29, 2011, forever. My wife, Margie, our friends Janice and Dennis Kinard, and one special officer of the North Carolina Highway Patrol are the ones that come immediately to mind.

I got our slow cooker out and loaded it with two pounds of red beef stew meat plus carrots, parsnips, onions, potatoes, broth, and spices. These would cook on low all day so that when four hungry travelers returned about 5:00 P.M. they could sit down immediately to a delicious, hearty plate of beef stew. What did Robert Burns say about the plans of mice and men?

Senator David Thomas First Recipient of Dubious “Honor”
“When I read a USA Today article disclosing that Senator David Thomas was collecting more than triple his regular legislator’s salary by opting to take his $32,390 annual retirement benefit instead of a legislator’s $10,400 annual salary. But continue to ‘serve’ and collect an additional $20,000 for in-district expenses and per Diem, I thought that my organization could help him understand the true meaning of retirement,” said RINO Hunt founder Harry Kibler.
Kibler said the card, along with an engraved gold pocket watch, would be presented to Thomas at the appropriate time.

Herman Cain won the Florida Straw Poll. A few weeks later, Cain scored a big win, scoring 49 percent in the straw poll conducted by the national gathering of the Federation of Republican Women.
The poll of Republican women is a valid cross section of Republican activists and is the poll that struck fear in the hearts of the other GOP presidential contenders.
Herman Cain’s 9-9-9-tax plan is getting criticism from some of his opponents, but it is only a concept that must be approved by congress and has been supported by many.
