THE GOOB AND THE BIBLE

Good Afternoon Guys and Dolls:

Two interesting stories off the local news here in Central Florida. The first one is out of our great capital city of Tallahassee. Our great goobenor Charlie Crist was sooooo busy he didn’t know President Obama was in Florida Monday and Tuesday. Governor Do Nothing has been so busy lately with his U.S. Senate Race and all those chief executive duties on his desk, I guess he simply forgot. To quote the governor, “Where was he yesterday?” Crist said, “First I’ve known of it.” Charlie come on, you have to follow the Washington news if you are planning to play with the big boys. After all Charlie you took that stimulus money, but since you decided to run for the U.S. Senate I guess you’ll be just like the rest of your Republican buddies, criticize, criticize and keep doing nothing for this state and its people.

The second story is out of Okeechobee, Florida. A young man (Trevor) said he was fired from his cashier’s job at The Home Depot because he wore an American flag button that read, “One Nation under God, indivisible.” He was wearing the button for 19 months in his support of the American troops; it was never an issue until he started showing up with a Bible at work. The Home Depot said it has a strict dress code and does not allow outside material to be worn. Home Depot you should have told young Mr. Trevor about the policy when he started wearing the button. Now Trevor, the Bible is a little too much. If you want to bring your Bible, leave it in the car and read it lunch time. The work place and pushing religion does not mix well, there are always conflicts. Keep religion in your car, at home or at your church. I can truly say this is a battle of Corporate America versus Bible belt beliefs. Good Luck to all.
