Which should make our rare time dining together, an utmost pleasurable experience.<br /><br />After breakfast, I think I will just come home and either evacuate my colon if need be, or watch some news. FOX News that is, and if worlds are in junction, I will take a shit while listening to FOX News.<br /><br />FOX and Friends Weekends brings out the best in me, and I appreciate it.  Thanks Clayton.  Thanks Tucker. Thanks Blonde Bimbo of the Week!!<br /><br />Seriously though?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6PDFgLBf_TmmkFnNIk79hfdRH0hxYb-z_kq9qHLuJDXSnlFmhJRAd_zCQRDlJMrEoyudWOvAB0gspFqwEOqkU_JwZRQnT2O0ecSegIYqzZQkqLJAY6wrlK4bds-dRk02oynEbSWFeJ2v3/s1600/Breakfast+Buffet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6PDFgLBf_TmmkFnNIk79hfdRH0hxYb-z_kq9qHLuJDXSnlFmhJRAd_zCQRDlJMrEoyudWOvAB0gspFqwEOqkU_JwZRQnT2O0ecSegIYqzZQkqLJAY6wrlK4bds-dRk02oynEbSWFeJ2v3/s400/Breakfast+Buffet.jpg" width="400" /></a>I don’t want this one rare Saturday off to be about nothing but eating, drinking, watching college football, and having sex with Schmoop while imagining her to be a college cheerleader.<br /><br />Or do I?<br /><br />You know…that doesn’t sound too bad.<br /><br />Of course, if that’s my plan, I will have to eat the hell out of the eggs and bacon at the Frisch’s breakfast buffet. Need some protein.<br /><br />A lot of protein.  In fact, knowing Schmoop as she is, A LOT of protein.<br /><br />And then, dig it…<br /><br />Jayman and I were considering taking a week off from the IWS Radio show, but guess what?  We’re still going to do one.<br /><br />Yep….This Saturday October 12th from 11 AM ET until whenever, we are going to fly by the seats of our pants and talk trash.<br /><br />We are not going to prepare.  We are not going to hone a pre-show rhythm.  We are just going to let it floooooow.<br /><br />Man…It may not mean much to you all, but having an entire Saturday off is like hitting the lottery, and I can’t wait until this coming Saturday.<br /><br />Breakfast with Schmoop.  Radio with Jay.  College football, beer, greasy snacks, and a little somethin' somethin'?<br /><br />I don’t get that often.  And let me tell ya…<br /><br />I can’t wait.<br /><br /><i>Cheers!!</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>Matt-Man</i><br /><br />In other news…IWS Radio put on another award winning radio show yesterday.  A cast of thousands were there including Jaaaaaaaamie, Sanni, and Schmoop.  So…<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="370" src="http://player.cinchcast.com/?show_id=5504623&platformId=1&assetType=single" width="400"></iframe></div><div style="font-size: 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Give it a listen dammit!!</div>

text-align: center;"></div><br />BBQ, speeches, campaign signs, fall decor, the Royal Blue band from the Shenandoah Valley ... must be the annual Eric Cantor and the 7th District Republican Roundup.<br /><br />On Saturday Republicans gathered for the 9th Roundup on a 90-degree day at Richmond's Snagajob Pavilion with over 5,000 attending the free family event. Brock's BBQ provides food -- BBQ sandwiches, hotdogs, baked beans, coleslaw, desserts. While adults enjoy the free beer and wine, children have cotton candy, popcorn, and the bouncy houses as well as face painting, miniature train, and other entertainment.<br /><br />Republican candidates are always on hand -- this year it was the top three on the ticket -- plus local electeds, past electeds, and committee chairs. Former Congressman Tom Bliley was on hand who was my congressman while growing up in Chesterfield. When Rep. Bliley retired, Eric Cantor, born and raised in Richmond of immigrant parents who escaped  ran for and won the 7th congressional seat.<br /><br />In an article I wrote in the <i><a href="http://swacgirl.blogspot.com/2010/11/virginias-eric-cantor-rising-star-in.html">Washington Examiner</a></i> in 2010, there's more to Eric Cantor than meets the eye:<br /><blockquote>He was born and raised in Virginia's Henrico County outside Richmond, talks with a soft southern accent, is known for his endless energy, worked with fellow Republicans Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy to recruit Young Guns to bring the Party back to its conservative roots, co-authored the <a href="http://books.simonandschuster.com/Young-Guns/Eric-Cantor/9781451607345">Young Guns</a> book, and was number two on the <a href="http://forward.com/articles/132454/">2010 Jewish Daily Forward 50</a> list of prominent Jewish achievers just behind Google founder Sergey Brin. </blockquote>Sadly, Congressman Cantor was not able to attend this year's event, the first time he has missed, because Congress was in session Saturday working on the current financial issue and government shutdown.<br /><br />It was another successful event for the 7th District. Thanks to all who had a hand in pulling it all together.<br /><br />Photos by Lynn R. Mitchell<br />October 5, 2013
