Wow, when I agreed to participate in Mark's website, I didn't realize it would be a forum for Matt and Al to "one-up" each other in the political opinion savvyness arena. I have never touted myself as being anything remotely proficient in politics and wouldn't dare cross the paths of these two pure blooded white middle-class American males, but let me just say this.

During the past few years, through my place of work and through my husband's business, I have seen a trend in law-making and various government regulations that make it very difficult for businesses (mainly small) to survive in this State. From an out of control worker's compensation and medical insurance industry to the return of the 8-hour overtime work rule, it's the small businesses that are feeling the brunt of the current "worker-happy" administration. If the businesses aren't surviving, then all these great worker's rights fly out the window.

I'm not sure who the blame needs to be given to, but do know that small and mid-size businesses are crucial to a state's economy and it seems that little to no thought is being given to this group of citizens. Gray has done enough damage for one lifetime, let's give someone else a shot. Even if he is an Austrian-born-turned-Hollywood-Kennedy-loving-muscle-head.

And for some laughs (and no harm intended to any and all Asians reading this site) please see this.
