Think about this:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
> COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during
the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in
Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in
the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to
locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe
we should give each of them a cow.
> THE CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ...
why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really
smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it
anymore.
> THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted
in a courthouse is this -- you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal'
'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a
building full of lawyers, judges and politicians ... it creates a
hostile work environment.

Dylan Riley! You are too much. I love your work. I love the way you think. I love the way you write. I am so happy that you posted on our blog; not once but twice. Thank you.
Wow--Matty! I'm impressed by both of your posts!! You are a talented writer, and I can't wait to listen to your readings when you go on your book tour!!
This post is hilarious, even though I don't necessarily agree with the politics of the first one ... :)
I love your thoughts on the Constitution. Funny stuff.
You could be stand-up comic. Any night clubs in Emporia where you could practice your craft?
Your novel excerpt is also impressive ... you use a lot of different "brush strokes" in your writing -- grammatical structures that make your writing vivid and fluent (easy on the ears--like music). Good stuff, Matty. Keep it up, and get your butt back on this blog more often!
