Lil' Hillary's Cafe
In the not too distant future, what one evening on the road may be like. by EJ Moosa

Wednesday, January 23, 2008
I drove into town hungry. I had been on the road all day. Stuck on roads that were not built to handle the volume of traffic we have today, the traffic moved slowly. The D.O.T, trapped by the EPA, because they cannot expand the roads because the pollution is so bad because the roads are so gridlocked because the D.O.T. cannot expand the roads; you figure it out. I gave up.
Looking for a spot to eat, I saw a sign in neon: Lil' Hillary's Cafe. Sounds good and I was hungry. At this time of night it beat a vending machine at the motel.
I parked my car and strolled inside. There were lots of employees standing around, watching me enter the restaurant. That was a good sign, I thought. I should get to eat fairly quickly. But no one seemed to want to help me. Finally, I got one waiter's attention.
"Welcome to Lil' Hillary's Cafe", the man said. "I'm Bill Clinton. I'm running this place, so don't let the name fool ya! Just don't hold me accountable", he said as he winked. "If something is a problem, we'll need to talk to Lil' Hillary. She's in the kitchen cooking up something big."
They seated me at a table and brought me a menu. "Wow, look at those choices", I thought, "and those endorsements". I had never been to a restaurant with meals endorsed by the NEA, UAW, IBEW, NAACP, CALPERS, and so many other groups. But hey, those folks eat too. It must be another good sign of things to come.
I waited for what seemed forever for someone to take my order. Finally, a waiter approached me. "'What do you deserve?", he asked me.
"Deserve, I thought?"
"Your request?", he asked impatiently, as he tapped his pencil on the order pad.
"I'd like Lil' Hillary's Special. The Works". I was hungry. "And Iced tea....sweetened."
"Ok, that's $15.75." He stood there waiting, with his palm out. "Um Mister, you need to pay in advance here."
"But the menu says it's only$ 7.25!", reaching for my wallet as I waited for a response from the pencil tapping waiter.
"Well, we do have the booth use fee, the menu use fee, and the environmental impact fees for cooking the meal, the pollution you created driving here, higher fees for the green electricity we use, not to mention what happens after the meal is served", he said with a knowing wink.
I was hungry. I didn't care at this point. I gave him a twenty. He left.
Sitting there I thought "Why did I already pay?" But I was too tired to think about it. All I knew was that I was hungry.
I glanced around the restaurant. Lots of employees indeed, and I could not imagine why there were so many working on such a slow night. . They seemed to be having a good time. Fifteen minutes later, no food, and I was more than ready for my meal. The feeling of hunger was turning to feelings of irritability.
I flagged the waiter who had taken my money down, and asked how much longer.
"Your meal HAS been served", he told me.
"I didn't get it", I told him, thinking there was a mistake.
"That's right", he said. "Someone else needed it more than you. So we gave it to them".
"Who the hell decided that?", I demanded to know.
"Why, Lil Hillary and Bill!, who did you think?", he said as he walked away.
I went away hungry and poorer than when I first got there. As I left, Bill Clinton yelled out the door, "Thanks for the support! We have big plans for the future!!!"
"Yeah Bill, that's what I fear", I said as I headed for my car.
Then I could have sworn I heard a cackling voice say "Wait til we get our hands on the oil company profits!!!" The gravel kicked up as I got the hell away from there as fast as I could.

For some reason the democrats have gone from being liberals to being liberal statists. It is like they only want to be liberal when it is convienient for them.
