The Wilds of Louisiana

I just finished a week of making sales calls in the wilds of southern Louisiana....lots of heat & humidity. I recently subscribed to satellite radio and have become somewhat spoiled to the choices such a Blue Collar comedy, NPR, Bluegrass, classic country and the Sinatra channel to name a few. My rental car radio could only pick up AM & FM and in some areas (shades of dueling banjos) very few of those stations. Choices were sports, religion, country music and talk radio. I got quite a cross section of views on current issues such as Cap & Trade ranging from Rush Limbaugh to local somewhat liberal talk shows hosts. I was amazed that almost all these talk show hosts agreed that Cap & Trade is not good and neither is government sponsored health care...especially when a tax will be levied on the health care plans of small businesses and corporation to pay for the government plan. I understand that the proposed government health care plan (socialized medicine) excludes all members of Congress & the President. WOW!!! these plans are good enough to be forced on us but not good enough for our elected officials. To paraphrase FDR's first Vice President, "None of them is worth a bucket of warm spit".
