"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."

Another . . .

. . . day at the beach
I'm just not sure which
Is it Sunday or Saturday?
Or maybe Monday?
It really doesn't matter at all
And not because I do not care!
It's because regardless of what
The calendar says
This day is brand new
And beautiful
And brings with it the promise
Of many and new opportunities
To live, love, create, enjoy, ruminate
Or, conversely, do nothing
Absolutely nothing
In any case, it's beginning now
As you can see
And I intend to make the very best of it
As I will do again tomorrow

Una Momento

Moment . . .

Hey you down there on the ground
Don’t you think that it’s time
You should fly
And do you consider the cost
Of the pride that you wear
Like a smile

Take this moment
You’ve got here
You may not
Get another try
Sometimes only
One chance comes around
At a time

It’s two that’s the number required
For the dance that we do
To get by
A few drag you into the mire
But they’re strong
Many wiles they devise

Doomed if you don’t learn
Farce is what you earn from the tragedy
What have we to gain
By being stubborn?

Light . . .

. . . sentence?

(from https://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-heffernan-manafort-blameless-0313-20190313-inx5veg56nfo5k35cp6qyzf2c4-story.html)

". . . Who knows how someone like Ellis (Judge T.S. Ellis III, a federal judge in the Eastern District of Virginia) decides someone like Manafort deserves such magnificent leniency? To start, there’s this: The two men have class, race, gender and, evidently, party in common. . . Ellis, who turns 80 in May, was appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. In the same decade, Reagan also appointed Manafort, who had campaigned for him, to be associate director of the personnel office at the White House. . . It should go without saying that federal sentencing guidelines are no one’s partisan whim. They were established in the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, which passed with majority support in both houses. (The ‘80s were evidently a weird time when both parties cared about equality and justice.). . . Compare Ellis’ gratuitous hymn to Manafort’s angelic nature with the sentencing memo filed last month by Mueller’s team, which laid out how Manafort “repeatedly and brazenly violated the law” over the course of a decade. Even Manafort’s daughter described her father’s fortune as “blood money” and said he had no “moral or legal compass.” And even when Thomas J. Barrack Jr., Trump’s real estate crony, warmly recommended Manafort as campaign chair, he cited not the operator’s pure heart but his cold blood. He’s “lethal,” Barrack wrote. . .Evidently Manafort is lethal — to the moral reasoning of anyone who, like Ellis, might be blinded by gaudy-white-man social status. For five decades, Manafort has gotten a double-wide pass for his ego, his financial crimes and his whitewashing of regimes accused of human rights abuses. . ."

Perspective . . .

. . . "The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it. " -Chris Pine (https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/perspective)

(https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/aug/04/donald-trump-pennsylvania-rally-supporters)

". . . As they see it, Trump is cutting their taxes. He’s keeping out the immigrants. He’s putting foreign leaders in their place, all while fulfilling that oft-quoted campaign promise: winning. . . “The tax reform,” DeFranco said when asked what she was most impressed with. . . “I’m going to end up with like $300 extra this year because of what he’s done. . . “Look at what he’s done with North Korea,” she said. “I think his negotiation skills are very good.”. . ."

Read it ALL . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/nancy-pelosi-impeaching-trump-he-s-just-not-worth-it-n981941)

" . . . But asked if she (Nancy Pelosi) thought Trump was "fit" to be president, Pelosi said, "No. I don't think he is. I mean, ethically unfit. Intellectually unfit. Curiosity-wise unfit. No, I don't think he's fit to be president of the United States," she said, before chiding herself for "coming across too negatively.". . . Responding to Pelosi's comments on Monday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said, “impeachment should never be on the table because the president is doing a great job.”. . . As for Pelosi's comments on Trump's fitness to be president, Sanders said, “Most of America disagrees with her comments. That’s why they voted him into office.” Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by almost 2.9 million votes. . . "
