Talkin' At The Radio

An entertaining part of our mornings here in the House Of Po is after the little Pos have left for school (at the crack of dawn), and Mrs. Po and I, fueled by 55-gallon mugs of French Roast, prepare for the day while listening to Morning Edition on NPR, and talking back at the radio. One such instance this morning was triggered by a report that President Bush's Mexican Spite Fence would cost somewhere in the vicinity of $3 million dollars per mile. Do the math - it's serious money.

Mrs.: "Maybe if they just went out and bought the materials at Lowe's, they could cut costs."

J.: "How about if they hired illegals to build the fence? You know, just wait at the train station in the morning and wait for the Mexicans to come off, looking for manual labor jobs. It's what all the Republicans do."

Mrs.: "Good thought, and he won't see the irony. Maybe you should work for the Administration."

J.: "Thanks, but I don't have my special ed certification."

Mrs.: "Which makes you a Non-Qualified Teacher, which won't fly with No Child Left Behind."

OK, so maybe it isn't Burns and Allen, but it IS early in the morning, after all.
