A political pundit said most of us live life between the 40 yard lines. I'm one of them. Sometimes I'm right of center, sometimes the other way around.

Friday beefs and bouquets
Contributed by: Brian Olson   on 4/11/2008

We take off with a bouquet to my friends at Frontier Airlines. These are tough times, and filing Chapter 11 is a tough decision. But Frontier is among the good guys in aviation and will remain my first choice to fly.

But a beef and an engraved plaque inscribed "Thou Shalt Love They Neighbor" to First Data for royally screwing Frontier. First Data is also based in Denver.

Another bouquet plus Longhorn bumper stickers to everyone who arranged the home and away football series between Texas and Wyoming starting in 2009 thru 2011. With daughters who graduated from both schools, we can't wait to head to Laramie and Austin. See ya'll at the Salt Lick Friday night in 2010.

And believe it or not, a bouquet plus a free house appraisal to Nancy Pelosi. The House takes up the Sodomy Bill passed by the Senate which bails out the fat pigs on Wall Street who screwed up the economy plus gives preference to people who were irresponsible in buying houses over those who played by the rules and paid their bills.

That said, a beef to the Ms. Pelosi plus a place in line at a drug rehab clinic for your grandkids for holding up the pending trade agreement with Columbia. Screw this deal up and once again Columbia's main trade with us will go back to cocaine.

A beef to Gov Bill "Let's Make a Deal" Ritter plus a free backbone transplant. He's opened the doors to totally unionizing all government workers and taxpayers are going to get screwed over royaly. It's bad enough we're still dealing with all the crime committed by crooks, pimps and gang members let loose when he was DA.

A big bouquet and a copy of the United States Constitution (it's a good read) to the International Olympic Committee and the PR folks for the People's Republic of China. The Olympic Torch tour has been a total and utter PR disaster and as a result has shined a light on the human rights abuses by China to its people, it's support of the folks responsible for the mess in Darfur (No, it's not Bush's fault) and of course it's awful treatment of the people of Tibet.

But a beef to those calling to boycott all or part of this summer's games. We can accomplish more for change by being there than by staying home. Imagine if all the politicos and athletes attending wore "Freedom for Tibet" lapel pins during the opening ceremonies.

A bouquet along with a new Stetson to the people of Cheyenne and Frontier Days. You'll still be going strong when Matchbox Twenty is long forgotten.

And we close with a bouquet to our friends from Ft. Hood stationed at FOP Falcon in southern Baghdad. The goodies you requested are on the way shortly.

Thanks as always to the gang at OB68, especially the Cat Lady, Weldon Smoothly and of course, our sponsors at Canadian Widget.

Peace out ya'll.
