Or Not . . .

When they first met
There was no magic
Yet there was something in the air
Drawn to each other
Like there was no tomorrow
Because of something yesterday

Now he wants to be what she wants him to be
He wants to be what she wants him to be
With no regard about the man she really sees
Like living in the past
Contracting some disease

One little girl
Without a care or worry
Who had the world at her command
Found without warning
Someone she lost one morning
Was so much more than just a man

Now he wants to be what she wants him to be
He wants to be what she wants him to be
With no regard about the man she really sees
Like living in the past
Contracting some disease

I never ceases to amaze
The things that motivate us
To some lofty height or to the deepest depth
But if the timing's right
You walk into the room just when
They need another volunteer to save the wreck

Are there regrets
Will there be second guessing
About the way this thing was handled
Are they content
And would they ever tell me
As if I really need to know

Now he wants to be what she wants him to be
He wants to be what she wants him to be
With no regard about the man she really sees
Like living in the past
Contracting some disease

The Past . . .

. . . may just be the past . . .

. . . with all apologies to Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer (or at least to their decedents) . . .

Elizabeth Lauten, a Republican Senator's staff member who criticized the President's daughters' dress and demeanor during the 'sacred' Pardoning of the Turkey (perhaps a Republican ruse to rationalize some perceived guilt?) ceremony recently has resigned.

Well, good and good.

But now the stories say the careless, indiscriminate, sanctimonious 'lady' (as if THAT isn't enough) was actually guilty of shoplifting way back when she was knee high to a grasshopper.

I ask you, WHO REALLY GIVES A flying F#*ck**g Sh*#t?????  Am I mistaken or aren't the folks who found THAT tidbit really just about as bad as she is???   (not WAS????)

Burning Grey . . .

. . . Live at Johnny's last Saturday . . .


Do you mean you were just lying there?

Out of reach of anyone who cares

They have bound you with their loving arms

In the distance I still hear you sound the alarm



Can you see yourself more clearly now?

As if you stepped out of a cloud

Beginning when it seems to end

Above below merging



Your mind doesn't feel

Your fingers don't think

Your eyes do not touch

While the heartbeat goes skipping away



It's now and then you're living

While you wait start the giving

Prove it it's always there

Burning grey without its flare



Obligated but one hand is tied

Constant chattering within your mind

How to leave it no one cares

To hear the silly language spoken there



There's a love that empties its own veins

As they spend they fill up again

The flow traffics through eternity

Carries on in all purity



Now you feel and you think

You see and you touch

With a matrix that springs from your heart

To your hands through your head

Burning grey

What do you think?

Diplomacy? . . .

(from wikipedia.com)
". . .Cowboy diplomacy is a term used by critics to describe the resolution of international conflicts through brash risk-taking, intimidation, military deployment, or a combination of such tactics. It is criticized as stemming from an overly-simple, dichotomous world view. Overtly provocative phraseology typically centralizes the message. One of the earliest known applications of the term was in 1902, when it was used by Jackie Lawlor from Westford, Massachusetts and the American press to describe U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policies. Roosevelt had at the time summarized his approach to international diplomacy as "Speak softly and carry a big stick", an adage that was engraved on a bronze plaque on Donald Rumsfeld's office desk in the Pentagon and has set the modern precedent.

The term has since also been applied to the presidential administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. . ."


. . . living through it got me thinking . . .

Exactly . . .

. . . what we need?????


Cowboy justice
Is just exactly what we need
Twice as effective
As mercy now for which they plead
If I can't get you
To see things the way I do
Something happens
I start the process see it through
It's what I've been taught to do
And I'll teach you

No one tells me
Just what I can or cannot do
My advisers
Some say are keepers of this zoo
I don't mind if
You think that what they say is real
I'm in charge here
At least that's how they make me feel
That's a part of the deal
And it came true

Gotta see it my way
I'm giving the people what I want
It's a price I must pay
We cowboys know how to be gallant

There's no question
Of right or wrong here to debate
Disagree though
You'll be subjected to the hate
That's inflicted
On members of the team like you
Cause we cowboys
Will never worry if we're few
Our justice is true
Make no mistake
