TONEY ATKINS' RANDOM THOUGHTS

    One way American citizens can show that they can show that they have more economic power than illegal aliens would be to postpone their weekend shopping -- even filling their tanks with overpriced gas -- until Monday, May 1, the day of the protest by illegal Mexican immigrants, and buy their groceries, clothing, fuel and other needs only at stores operated or even owned by Americans or immigrants who are legitimately earning their citizenship.

    What better author for a book dealing with the new "sex for votes" scandal in Washington than someone named A.M. Cox?

We haven't laughed together in a while. Hope that changes in the near future. I love your sense of humor. It always brings a light to a sometimes dismal day. Keep laughing, it is after all the best medicine.
