The Insufferable Martha Zoller
I attended the Lumpkin County GOP BBQ in Dahlonega today to see my new best friend Johnny Isakson speak to the crowd. Unfortunately, Martha Zoller, who is never wrong was the MC for the event. She's the "voice of conservatism in North Georgia" and never met a self-hating Democrat she didn't like. She's also not so secretly supporting Herman Cain and when you count the two out of state Club for Growth college kids (straight from the Toomey campaign) in the crowd that made three people at the event.
Anyway, today's beef with Martha Zoller is her insistence on politicizing the death of Ronald Reagan. She told the crowd that (paraphrasing here) "the Democrats must have been upset when they saw all those people in line waiting to pay their respects to Reagan." I personally hadn't given it a thought until Martha brought it up, but then she went further, making sure the crowd knew that it was "middle class people like you", not "fancy dressed businessmen" thus inserting some good old fashioned class warfare into Reagan's death as well.
I thought it was a nice funeral, though I thought the media coverage was a little overdone, as I'd prefer to find out what's going on in Iraq instead of watching the airplane carrying the casket take off and land. I'm glad lots of people paid their respects as it's not everyday that an ex-President dies, it's an important piece of history. But I was not upset at the number of people that viewed the coffin -- and if Martha Zoller thinks that's how people like me think then that says a lot more about Martha Zoller than about 'Democrats.'
If Martha Zoller is the voice of conservativism in North Georgia I'd hate to hear from it's lesser advocates.

but how was the BBQ? Was it Carolina style (good, w/ the vinegar based sauce) or Alabama style (that sweet tomato sloppy Joe tasting slop)

The rest of the sentence reads:

Thanks for the insight.
