Not Quite . . .

. . . The News . . .

(but sort-of . . . )

Two Siberian tigers, released into the wild by Russian President Vladimir Putin, are eating goats and chickens in China.  Farmers are upset.  But the Chinese authorities say tigers are protected in China and are concerned that the animals may end up getting shot.

Social media in China wants the tigers hunted down but the more level-headed citizens see it for what it is, f a Kremlin conspiracy, a spying mission across a border that used to be hotly disputed.

Putin denies everything.

All We Are Saying . . .

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/analysis-why-recognition-palestinian-state-could-fuel-mideast-fire-n261366

". . . Even if some French lawmakers are playing to their numerous Muslim voters, the vote to recognize Palestine in Paris — the city where Yasser Arafat died — is of far greater global significance than a vote in Dublin or even Madrid. . ."

So what if French lawmakers are playing to their numerous Muslim voters?  U.S.  lawmakers play to extremist Zionist voters on a daily basis.

". . . The dark spume on this European wave is the twin growth of anti-Semitism and militant Islam in Europe. There are worries that Jihadis returning from Syria and Iraq may attack Europe's Jewish population, as a French ISIS fighter did in May this year when he killed four people at Belgium's main Jewish museum. . ."

Israelis are deluding themselves if they think ANY agreement, vote or peace accord will stop any ISIS, Al Qaeda or any extremist minority from doing stupid things to innocent people

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


To Be

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?
