"This is wonderful! I am not swayed a bit by the fact that the song bares my name or that it makes me feel like I'm running carefree through the woods on my toes with fairies and snoopy and woodstock! Bravo my dear man for your vision."

Which One . . .

. . . did he really mean? . . . or. . . does he even really know?


(from https://thehill.com/policy/defense/308364-trump-picks-mattis-for-defense-secretary-report)
". . .Mattis has been seen as a top contender for the job since he met with Trump earlier this month. . . After the meeting, Trump heaped praised on Mattis, calling him the “real deal” and a “brilliant, wonderful man.”. . ."


(from https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/23/us/politics/trump-mattis.html)
". . . After initially praising Mattis in announcing his resignation last week, Trump jabbed his top military official on Saturday, tweeted that he gave the retired four-star general "a second chance" after former President Barack Obama "ingloriously fired" him. Mattis led U.S. Central Command from 2010 to 2013, but his time at the helm was cut short because of disagreements with the Obama administration on Iran. . ."

What . . .

. . . a fit!

(from The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen)
". . . The emperor came to them with his most distinguished cavaliers. The two swindlers raised their arms as though they were holding something and said, "Just look at these trousers! Here is the jacket! This is the cloak!" and so forth. "They are as light as spider webs! You might think that you didn't have a thing on, but that is the good thing about them.". . . "Yes," said the cavaliers, but they couldn't see a thing, for nothing was there. . . "Would his imperial majesty, if it please his grace, kindly remove his clothes." said the swindlers. "Then we will fit you with the new ones, here in front of the large mirror.". . . The emperor took off all his clothes, and the swindlers pretended to dress him, piece by piece, with the new ones that were to be fitted. They took hold of his waist and pretended to tie something about him. It was the train. Then the emperor turned and looked into the mirror. . . "Goodness, they suit you well! What a wonderful fit!" they all said. "What a pattern! What colors! Such luxurious clothes!". . . "

Did I . . .

. . . mention our WONDERFUL press?. . .

. . . This was one of the top stories on NBCNews.com yesterday.  Is it any wonder that some think this man is a viable presidential candidates? . .


(from http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/key-source-disputes-times-story-trump-s-behavior-women-n574741)
". . . Key Source Disputes Times Story on Trump's Behavior With Women
by JANE C. TIMM
The woman whose personal story led a New York Times feature casting presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump as sexist and inappropriate with women disputed the story in an interview on Monday. . . The woman, Rowanne Brewer Lane, told Fox News that the Times' portrayal of her experiences with Trump was "very upsetting" and dishonest. . . "I did not have a negative experience with Donald Trump and I don't appreciate them making it look like I was saying that it was a negative experience because it was not," the former model and one-time companion of Trump said Monday morning. . .

Our Wonderful . . .

. . . Press . . .


Why do I have to hear, see, read about Donald Trump every day as if he really is a serious, viable, candidate for president of the United States of America?  Because of our wonderful press - gawd bless 'em!

"You can say what you want I have no doubt that it (waterboarding) does work in term of information and other things," Trump told (Jake) Tapper.   ["other things"?  -  my note]

Jacob Paul "Jake" Tapper is an American journalist, cartoonist and author. As of 2016, he is the Chief Washington Correspondent, anchor of the CNN weekday television news show The Lead with Jake Tapper

Did Jake Tapper ask Trump to provide empirical evidence of maybe an example or two of instances where he (Trump) could prove that the statement he had just made was, in fact, accurate?

NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Our dedicated, objective, informative press at work?  (Maybe "Jake" is a better cartoonist?)

Play . . .



 . . . your little game of self-importance
Show us just how wonderful you are
Dazzle with deception all the minions
Who have placed their trust in you
So innocent so true

Have you never placed yourself in someone else's shoes
Have you never tried to see their point of view
You're thorough to ensure that everything will go your way
Would you like them all to do the same to you

So now I find you don't want to look me in the eye
I hope I never sympathize with things you do
in the unrelenting interest of you

Back in school they taught us to be civil
Treat each other how you'd like to be
Even though you'd like to think you're special
We're the same both you and me
Have you ever tried to focus and just see

So now I find you don't want to look me in the eye
I hope I never sympathize with things you do
in the unrelenting interest of you

Walk a mile in someone else's shoes to know
Exactly how they feel
You might think the world owes you a favor but
It's still not right to steal

Please believe you me I'm not that sterling
Everyone does things they can regret
Even in the noblest you will find
Humanity will cause diversion from the truest path

But now I find you don't want to look me in the eye
I hope I never sympathize with things you do
in the unrelenting interest of you


Relentless

It's A Wonderful . . .

 . . . process. . .
. . . putting the pieces together thoughtfully and methodically. . .



When I woke up today I had all that I want
Everything that I did brought desired results
How could this be? All the rules have been changed
In the pool where I drowned I am swimming again.

But of course I am wrong.  How could I understand
When my society tells me how tall I stand?
Then I take it inside and wait for life’s kiss
Which is sure to arrive ‘cause I’m riding my bliss.

What did I do? The world holds me up
Invisible hands grant the nourishing cup
Have I found a way that has always been there?
It seems to me it came out of thin air.

The child waking up brings the old crone to tears
Pushing through my disguise see the tips of my ears
How could this be all the rules have been changed
In the pool where I drowned I am swimming again.

When I blindly reach out to what I cannot see
Grace reappears and it rescues me
I’m not what I feel, I’m not what you think
I’m only what is and what isn’t in sync.


Out Of Thin Air
('work in progress' by OHO [Jay Graboski, David Reeve, Ray Jozwiak] and guest vocalists Lisa Griffee and Kirsten Smith done at Bratt Studios with percussion done at Blue Ball Studios)

The greatness of the"26 Acts of Kindness," idea, in  honor of the students and faculty who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School,  cannot be underestimated. This is truly a wonderful effort that unites those involved in a common, elevating, human endeavor that transcends self and serves the greater good.

But I believe we owe ourselves and  future generations, a new, personal commitment to change the face of humanity, as we know it, and significantly improve our existence. I propose we adopt an “Acts of Kindness” philosophy all day, every day and ALWAYS. The things that we could accomplish through such a philosophy simply boggle the mind.  Limiting our kind acts to 26 is all too like the rear-auto window signs that proclaim “Baby On Board”.  In other words, we need not limit our acts of kindness to a mere total of 26 any more than we should limit our  cautious driving only to situations where we know the person ahead of us has a baby ‘on board’, as though the life of individuals in cars that are alone, have a parent, friend or sibling on board are less valuable (than that of a baby) and therefore deserve less caution on our part when driving.

In order to achieve this impressive height of human potential we will have to dispense with a multitude of pre-existing baggage and self-serving paradigms.  This, needless to say, will be more difficult for some than for others.

We must take great care to prevent these ‘Acts’ from becoming rote ceremony or hollow lip service, like some of us have encountered in our church experience.  By this I mean such as the good Catholic who piously bestows a hearty ‘peace be with you’ upon his pew-mate then blows his car horn furiously while flipping the bird to the parishioner in the proceeding vehicle who doesn’t exit the church parking lot as swiftly as the saintly one would like.
