Health Care Town Hall in Johnson City

Monday, August 24th, 2009

I was there. I may blog about it tomorrow. You can see me holding signs at the 45 second mark, though they were talking about people who disagreed with Dr. Roe on the issue… Oh well.

Johnson City Pansy Commission

Monday, July 6th, 2009

The Johnson City Commission took on new legislation that would have allowed legal gun carriers to legally carry their firearms into local parks.  Sadly, according to the Johnson City Press, all present commissioners voted to treat legal gun carriers as criminals. 

I checked out the Johnson City Commission’s website, but they do not have the minutes to show who was present and who was absent.  Jane Myron, owner of Jane’s Lunchbox, which is probably a crappy, over-priced diner of sorts, had already voiced her displeasure that the legislature had voted to allow carrying in restaurants.  All she has to do, however, is place a sign saying you cannot carry and you can’t.  That is you cannot unless you are a criminal who would do it anyways.

*** I have never been to Jane’s Lunchbox, nor do I plan a trip.  It could be a good, overpriced diner for all I know.  It could also be a crappy, non-diner restaraunt.  I have no clue what they have. I just assume it is crappy because a restaraunt is usually a reflection of its owner.  ***
