What's In A Name? . . .

What’s in a name
Words are just words; so
Such compromise
Faithless was she; know
Deceitfulness; treachery
Breeching a trust; perfidious

No way to know
Well in advance; no
Now it’s all clear
Reaped what she sowed
She had to go

Dishonor waits on perfidy; oh
Rising above your misery; show
False man forgets worldly scorn
Always aware; perfidious
Cowards and fools
Hiding beneath lies
Accusat’ry; in you just like me
Will not die

Duplicity; two-facedness
Untrustworthiness confuses me
Such perfidy

Disloyalty
Baseless intrigue; why
Can it go on indefinitely;
This perfidy?

Perfidy

Stick . . .

. . . to your convictions . . .

(from https://www.alicemerton.com/video)
". . . Label reps scoffed at “No Roots” - It’s a minute too long! Take the guitars out! - but by the time it topped Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart in the U.S., hit the Top Ten in further 9 countries, streamed more the 300 million times and sold over a million units which ultimately helped her (Alice Merton) go platinum in seven countries, naysayers turned to supporters. . ."

Much . . .

At this point (about 11:15AM) in Michael Cohen's testimony, when only two Republican committee members have spoken, I find it odd that all of the characterizations these two are casting upon Cohen aptly apply to 'Individual Number One'.

Maybe . . .

. . . when hell looks like this . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/roger-stone-back-court-after-instagram-post-n973986)
". . . "I am hurtfully sorry for my own stupidity. I am kicking myself not as much as my wife is kicking me," Stone told the court. He called the Instagram post "a momentary lapse of judgement" and said he was was struggling from the stress of the prosecution. . . I heard political commentators talking about the likelihood that I'll be raped in prison. It's been a stressful situation. I’m having a hard time putting food on the table and making rent," he said. . .The photo, posted to (Roger) Stone’s Instagram account earlier this week, was accompanied by a caption in which he suggested Jackson was politically biased, slammed Robert Mueller's Russia probe and sought donations for his legal defense. . ."

Someone . . .

. . . was sensitive about Spike Lee's comments ". . . Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit . . . "(Donald J. Trump @realdonaldtrump)

". . . He (Spike Lee, in his Oscar acceptance speech last night)added that the 2020 presidential election was just "around the corner." . . . "Let’s all mobilize," he continued. "Let’s all be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate. Let’s do the right thing! . . . "

P.S. Racist???!!!

Old Days?. . .

. . . food for constitutionalist thought . . .

(from Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power by Jon Meacham)

". . . Jefferson wrote Adams in 1816. Jefferson took the broadest of views: "I steer my bark with hope in the head, leaving fear astern. My hopes, indeed, sometimes fail; but not oftener than the forebodings of the gloomy." . . . Adams was always less sanguine. "I dare not look beyond my nose into futurity," he wrote Jefferson. "Our money, our commerce, our religion, our national and state constitutions, even our arts and sciences, are so many seedpots of division, faction, sedition and rebellion. Everything is transmuted into an instrument of electioneering.". . . The past, he (Jefferson) thought, should hold no magical, unexamined claim over the present. "Some men look at Constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them, like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched," he wrote in 1816 . . . "They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well: I belonged to it, and labored with it. It deserved well of its country. It was very like the present, but without the experience of the present: and 40 years of experience in government is worth a century of book-reading: and this they would say themselves, were they to rise from the dead. I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions...but I know also that the laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind....We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.". . .

Thinking . . .

(from Pianogonzology entry #1 of February 9, 2011; 2900 plus posts ago)
". . . I've always been curious about blogging and wary of tweeting. I mean, who really wants to know every fleeting thought that crosses my warped little mind? And I base this curiosity and wariness on my own tastes. In all honesty, I have little to no interest in the fleeting thoughts of too many people. If I think about it hard enough, I may be able to conjure up two or three names. But pop 'icons', actors/actresses (or other 'entertainers'), media 'celebrities', 'news' commentators, talk show hosts and politicians for the most part, have difficulty enough formulating a coherent sentence let alone expressing any thought, sentiment or observation about a topic that would be of even the most remote interest to ME. . . So having said THAT, I begin my first blog. Yes, the thoughts, sentiments, observations, incoherent (and hopefully a few coherent) sentences and fleeting thoughts of MINE for all to see! . . . What the $*&#k was I thinking????
