Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Listening to the Big Show this afternoon was kinda sickening. So many people calling and whining and complaining about the damn military this and military that! Seems the likes of some big wigs(or maybe even not so big) are coming to Guam during Holy Week.....you see, it's something like they work and it's the only time they might be able to 'fit' Guam into their schedule. The Biggies want to give the Guammies a chance to talk-talk about how they feel about the Marines, or whatever it is that's coming with them.
So instead of sitting back and saying....darn, they're actually coming to Guam to listen to what we have to say........they're all complaining about the fact that the Biggies are going to be here on Holy Thursday and can only conduct the meeting/talking/grip sessions that evening.
So.....on Holy Thursday night, some high big wig of the Catholic church will be asked to be humbled enough to wash the feet of Archie at San Ramon Hill. It's a ritual about humility, etc....don't even let me get theological......the people that will be at that very moving ceremony are not those that will attend the whine and complain session. They are confident that things will work out and just like before, 20,000 more people will mix with the population and you'll never know that there were signs up asking them(Yankees) to go home.....the people who are really into the Holy Week ceremonies aren't your run of the mill whiners.....they probably don't even listen to talk shows or get involved with the Chicken Littles of the island.............the hypocrites, however, call the talk shows and whine and complain that poor them are going to be burdened because those damned D.C. Biggies dare to come to Guam during Holy Week.
Poor souls, those DC'ers, they can't win for losing.
The whiner/complainers get mad because they aren't included and when they are included, complain about the time and date.......can't please a damn one of'em.......
But.........the complainer/lawmakers sure don't return that sacred Section 30 money..........which of course will increase when there are more military deployed here........
It's a little confusing trying to figure out why adults....with education....can act like little kids....it's no wonder the feds don't want to include the locals in their plans.....who wants to be blasted for just wanting to meet and greet for a few hours.
I dare say.....not a one of those who complained to Coffman of the Big Show will be at Church instead of the meeting........it's just an excuse....they want their cake and eat it.......and it look like they's gonna do both......
Locals need fed bucks..........better be nice....be real hard if Unc Sam decided to get stingy on us whiners!
Otherwise, Ms/mssrs hypocrites.......quit your bellyaching....if you're insulted that the feds can only meet with you on H.Thursday.......then don't go! Believe me, ya won't be missed!
