My collar is blue: The Jeb S. Smith story

Saturday, February 8th, 2014

On January 15th of 2014 in Florida, I had the pleasure of meeting a young politician named Jeb S. Smith. From a family of farmers going back several generations, he really is the local version of Mr. Smith goes to Washington. America was founded by citizens, and while Mr. Smith is now in the political arena, he is the same man written about in the commercial “God made a farmer.”

The following poem came from his dirt-covered hands.

 

My Collar’s Blue

By Jeb S. Smith

10-21-05

Revised: 1/15/14

 

We’ve all seen pictures of those guys,

Whose attire is suits and ties.

To an office, their job does take

A big salary do they make.

 

This lifestyle I did not choose,

I’m not sorry, my collar’s blue.

 

God’s creation I do see,

Many sights, and all are free.

Fresh turned soil, crisp clean air,

Plants growing while I stare

 

This life I love and I did choose,

I’m not sorry, my collar’s blue.

 

My hands are calloused, scarred, and rough

From hammers, splinters, and other stuff.

My body even sometimes aches,

My mind is sharp – make no mistake.

My fingernails are dirty, too.

Remember now, my collar’s blue.

 

I do the job of many men.

Chemist, sales, veterinarian,

Welder, mechanic, engineer,

And many a time, just lend an ear.

Driver, banker:  to name a few.

After all, my friend, my collar’s blue.

 

America’s prize I believe we are,

Never crossed my mind to retire

Working this land is what I love,

And pleases my Father up above.

A simple way it is to you.

My friend it’s easy, my collar’s blue.

 

Now into politics, here we go.

Little about this do I know.

But with help from those of like-mind,

I am confident, we’ll be fine.

And help from the One I truly love,

God’s blessing from above.

 

Jeb S. Smith represents the best of people entering public service. Those in St. Augustine, Florida, just South of Jacksonville would be lucky to have him.

Sochi Olympics: 100% safe, zero chance of terrorism

The Sochi Olympics are being described as the most dangerous place on Earth outside of Detroit. Fears of terrorism have many travelers worried that this could turn out to be another Munich.

Not this time.

The Sochi Olympics will be 100% safe.

Those rubbing their eyes in disbelief should remember who is in charge of the 2014 games.

No, President Obama is not a good person

Thursday, February 6th, 2014

Is President Obama a good person?

Even Obama critics initially conceded his affability.

Somewhere, Obama lost his way. He stopped believing people could have honest disagreements with him while still remaining good human beings worthy of dignity and respect.

Sandra Fluke, a congresswoman for crybabies everywhere

Congresswoman Sandra Fluke? Be very afraid

Sandra Fluke is a social justice attorney and women’s rights activist.

This is a fancy way of claiming to be unemployed. The only thing left for a woman with zero useful skills or job experience to do is run for Congress.

Obama declares his rectum a powerful new energy source

Monday, February 3rd, 2014

Obama declares his rectum a powerful new energy source

Forget the Keystone Pipeline. 

After consulting with his general practitioner and a proctologist in the Obamacare network, Obama announced in a Rose Garden press conference that his rectal area contains one of the largest findings of new energy. Apparently he is so full of it that there is enough to fertilize every farm in America.
