Government Insufficiency

Heard Jed Bullock was inducted into the Arkansas Hospitality Association's Hall of Fame in Little Rock Monday night. ... How do I know? I was there. Why? It was at the Clinton Presidential trailer, fer cryin' out loud.

Hillary wasn't there ... she was busy trying her best to keep the world from blowing itself up because of crazy men who all think their camera lens is bigger than the guy's in the next trailer, er, country.

So, maybe you know to take this tidbit from the pages of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette with the teeniest bit of salt (feel free to pour it on any open wounds), but before you do that, remember that the DG is merely quoting a state health department official who had his head so far up there it's a wonder he doesn't break his neck when he sits down. ... Here goes: the gist of it is that he said Eureka Springs shouldn't have the same problems with lead pipes as Washington D.C. because we are a younger community with more modern distribution systems, therefore our water pipes should not be susceptible to corrosion and lead poisoning caused by fluoride leaching into them. ... Wow. ... Isn't the National Register of Historic Places headquartered in Washington? ... And aren't we on it? I guess the health department knows about as much about Eureka Springs as some one from Mars. ... Never did I think we would be saying "our pipes are as old and rusty as yours," but here I am. ... Our city water pipes are ancient, decaying artifacts that may someday be on display in the Smithsonian if they don't turn to dust during the airplane ride to Washington.

If you're not getting this, go online and read the entire text of John Dulin's letter to the editor about fluoride being forced on us by the people we pay to look out for us. A must read.

Your reaction could cause Hillary to fly back to the (increasingly un)Natural State and pitch a tent at the CBWD just to keep the peace.

Meanwhile, I'm keepin' the piece at oliverdeplace@hotmail.com. Hey, somebody posted on my Facebook page. What's the deal with that?
