Then promptly sat on her 400lb butt and watched him dig whist stuffing Cheetos and Coca Cola down her gullet. I watched these two slobs have it out from the comfort of my front patio over a cup of pure 100% fresh ground Kauai coffee and listening to "Prairie Home Companion" on NPR.

My greatest concern was that this drunken fool and his bellicose blimp of a girlfriend were going to have heart attacks, or shoot each other. Then as a Red Cross First Responder I would have been obliged to attempt to save them. Something I would do, but stoically, with a well concealed reluctance.

The "Engine" is a obnoxious, drunken ass. I really don't think his problems stem from anything Obama has done. I think it's all a personal issue.

If these people are Americas future. We're screwed.

"...while listening to Prairie Home Companion"... Dissonance f'er sure. But your observations just might make a good episode for Lake Woebeggone...

I've known "engines of the economy" and he's not an engine. Some kind of caboose maybe..
