Rev. Cletus: "This is your Reverend Cletus Car Sales radio broadcast! Remember: If you need to get from point A to B, see one of my deacons at the car lot to receive your blessing—a nice, used car. And for those looking for a ride to Bible study, praise team/choir practice or Sunday worship service, the Double Dutch Church Bus will take you there!

"My special guest, for the public affairs segment of the show, is Johnson 'Inspector Beat-Down' Lipscomb, former security specialist at Clubb Chicken Wing, and CEO of the new community security firm of Lipscomb, Church-Hat and McBride. He's here to discuss the crime problem in America."

Johnson Lipscomb: "If the government, corporations and other businesses don't find some way to employ the idle minds of idle people, crime will go up like high blood pressure. All over this country I read about folk being laid off, bought out and kicked to the curb. On future television episodes of 'Cops' and 'Low Speed Chases of the Highway Patrol,' look for live arrests of bitter, frustrated former factory workers on drugs. Why? Because some figureheads have forced middle-class and poor workers further into the new world order of broke, busted and can't be trusted. And when the people get out of order, security enforcement officers, like me, may have to bring on the pain."

Rev. Cletus: "The love of many shall wax cold. And whoever endures the pain, will be saved. May God bless you, brethren and brethrenettes!"

Perhaps we can institute government factories to revive the manufacturing sector. Oops, I think this has been tried and failed . Perhaps the China model? Government dictated free enterprise planning ? Capitalism aint perfect, but it's mostly worked for 200 years. The only country I know where the small guy still has a chance to start the next Fortune 500. Just takes hard work. Something lacking in our culture today. We've come to expect that the government should provide everything, very SP. And KS, I love the writing style, very original!

In Germany and France its almost impossible to lay off or fire somebody. The result is stagnant economies and the shipping of new jobs and plants over here to the US. I wonder if Stiggers will give these same corporations credit when they hire in large numbers again.

Another fine job, Ken. Don't worry about corporations, businesses or the likes as they have lobbyists, politicans, business men and others looking out for their interest. When I was self-employed and scrapping for a living, my interest and concern for the poor, nearly poor or about to be poor, downtrotten and clueless never swayed or changed the least. You've found your cause, calling, and audience - and we (most of us) love you for it. The minimum wage needs to be upped too for those that can afford it.

And Ken I saw you at David Brian Williams funeral today. He was my friend too through the Reddix physicians around town. They're by fraternity brothers. So too was David although he went to JSU.
