Anonymous Whiner Nation Citizen: Gramm is correct!

[Robert R. Frump]

A new citizen of Whiner Nation writes to me:
I don't think I ever have agreed with Gramm before but boy is he right! We have become a society of whiners, of whimps, of lazybones, of beggars--who take no responsibility for the course of their lives, who from airlines to bankers, from addicts to unwed fathers, from over-spenders to under achievers expect the taxpayer to pick up after us

Right on Senator!
(Anon)
love the unwed fathers line....

I've been saying the same thing for years. He's right. So are you.

With the Olympics looming we ought to consider where we stand as a Nation of Whiners in the vast global whine competition. Gold? Silver? Bronze? Will we be sent home empty handed due to steroid use? And just how do steriods influence whining ability? What about EPO? Can you whine longer on EPO? Louder?
Do the French whine more or just wine more? Or is that all right-wing blather that lingers because they refused to wack Saddam? Do Italians whine, or is that just "passion"? Do they talk with their hands or is that physical whining? Do Germans refrain from whining because they know they're going to attack soon anyway? How do you figure the Swedes? Are African dictators in a whining class unto themselves? Are the Japanese whining silently when they do those deep bows at the waist?
The Olympics are coming. Check your scorecards and get busy handicapping.

I think Ashley has a good point here, though he fails to note that the Chinese are at a distinct disadvantage going into the Olympics. The unofficial motto of the country has been, "Don't do the whine, if you can't do the time." You can't whine well on prison chow.

No whine goes well with prison food. And it's quite hard to match the right whine with Chinese food in general. One used to be able to match a good Sonoma with a California whine before Arnie took over and began bitch slapping whiners.

You laugh on the wine-whine. But I kid you not, I got a call form a wine website asking me if I wanted to use their email services to market Nation of Whiners.

Hmm.

And not only that, people who are willing to suffer for their goals (freedom, independence, the fight against oppression) are targeted as terrorists. Not Al Qaeda of course because those folks are merely operatives of the Police states in the Gulf region.

Whining produces alot of business for lawyers imo.
