The post is titled <a href=\"http:\/\/theragblog.blogspot.com\/2010\/04\/danny-at-mcdonalds-i-got-tired-of.html\">Danny at MacDonald&#8217;s<\/a>. Let us begin by how the post ended &#8211; the bio of the author;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Leslie Cunningham works with the Retiree Organizing Committee of the Texas State Employees Union. She has been an activist for 50 years and a socialist for 40.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So there&#8217;s some doubt as to whether this story ever happened right off the bat. The jist of the story goes like this; Leslie meets Danny at MacDonald&#8217;s playground in Austin. Danny is with his daughter, Leslie is with her grand daughter. Danny tells Leslie about his drug dealing wife in the first few minutes of their meeting. The he tells her he ended his fifteen years in the Army because he got tired of &#8220;killing farmers&#8221;. Then a bouncy young lass, who happened to be on the cusp of her own deployment and provides contrast to morose Danny for the little tale. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all just too coincidental to be real. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever talked to a complete stranger about my family problems at MacDonald&#8217;s &#8211; have you? And the addition of the new soldier heading off to war is just a little too serendipitous and convenient.<\/p>\n<p>I think Granny Leslie needs to put the bong down for a few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sporkmaster sent me this blog post from Rag Blog, one of those countless anti-war blogs.
