Redneck Bar & Grill

Dear Ernie,

     This is SO obviously some kind of paid post – sad really. Who’s paying you off beer guy? The Redneck? Is that it? Sad really.

Dear Canuckle-Head,

     I would like to state for the record that I have never accepted any sort of kick-backs for my posts. I will even submit to a full inquiry into these allegations as soon as Tim names an independent third-party advisor to set the parameters for such an inquiry. Twelve years ago I was falsely accused. I fought and won. Now it seems I have to fight again…so be it.

I have no relationship with Karlheinz Schreiber and I certainly don’t intend to become his penpal now. None of the statements in your affidavit have been proven in kangaroo court. Furthermore, I will not be providing my financial statements unless you do so first.

Dear Ernie,

     Should I stay or should I go now?

Dear Clash,

     I happen to know, from past experience, that if you stay there will be trouble however, if you go there will be double. It would seem that you should pick the option that will cause you the least amount of trouble. On the other hand though, perhaps if you were to “go” far enough you just might be able to outrun the trouble. This option might cause the trouble to fall upon someone else who is not necessarily directly involved in the whole mess. Alas, I cannot really answer the question for you. All I can do is give you the following advice. You must search your heart and see if you are the kind of person who is willing to stand up to the trouble in your life; or are you the kind of person who runs away from trouble? Once you know the answer to that, then you will know if you should stay or go.
