The Source of the World's Ills

This morning, Moses drove over to the Coconino National Forest office to obtain a permit for cutting firewood. There are several permits for various uses issued by the Forest Service. However, the firewood permit is the only permit for which you cannot pay by credit card. That's right, you can pay for every other permit, except firewood cutting, by credit card. Of course, Moses did not have cash or a checkbook on hand and had to go find an ATM, and come back to the Forest Service office to buy the permit. Moses being Moses came home and railed (rightfully, but still, we all know how Moses enjoys a good rant) against the absurdity of the Forest Service not accepting credit cards for one kind of permit, but accepting them for every other permit.
So Moses is telling his story and going on and on.
Then Garion pipes up and you can see the light bulb go off in his head: "It's probably because of John McCain!" Yes son, I'm sure it is. And there you have it folks: brainwash early and brainwash often.
