Switching . . .

(from https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/24/us/politics/andy-mckean-iowa-trump.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&fbclid=IwAR3nnDuxyeZNNm6ywlFnrzjlK8BAhuhvzF2JNeGJ5ssTT3dgaSfAPyPtJX0)
". . . The longest-serving Republican in the Iowa legislature announced that he would become a Democrat, warning that his party of many decades would soon pay “a heavy price” for its support of President Trump. . .The lawmaker, Representative Andy McKean, served a combined 24 years in the Iowa House and Senate between 1979 and 2003 and then returned to the legislature in 2017. At a news conference on Tuesday, he said he could not support Mr. Trump moving forward, in part because he found the president’s spending to be “reckless,” his foreign policy “erratic” and “destabilizing” and his disregard for the environment concerning. . ."

'MOVE ON'????!!!!!! Tell that to 45, MITCH. He obviously does not understand.

Preoccupation . . .

(from Friends Divided: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson by Gordon S. Wood)

". . . This American aristocracy, however, was very different from that of Europe. European nobles, said Adams, had more pride, "that kind of pride which looks down on commerce and manufacturing as degrading." Perhaps this contempt for commerce, he said, played a useful role in Europ. Maybe it helped prevent the European nobility from becoming too rich and inhibited its acquiring too large a proportion of landed property. Or the aristocracy's valuing honor over money might have saved the European nations from being completely consumed by avarice. . . The American aristocracy's preoccupation with money distinguished it from the European aristocracy and was one of its weaknesses. . . "

Fine . . .

. . . line

It’s a fine line I walk
Between here and insanity
It’s a fine line
Like a good wine some care
And some love must be taken and given
Like a good wine
I don’t know where it’s gonna come from
I only know that when it gets here
I may care or I may not
It just depends upon which side
Of the line that I’m on

When it’s my time I want
To be free of these cares and these worries
When it’s my time
I don’t when that’s gonna happen
Not really sure I want it happening
Any time real soon
It just depends upon which seat
That I take in the room

Do I really know what I’m asking?
You tell me I’m thinking too much
How can someone question the feelings
You haven’t allowed them to touch?

When will I find the things
That I’ve searched all this valuable time for?
When will I find
Just a thin dime will I take
For a glimpse of the depths of my soul
Just a thin dime
It’s not exorbitant to ask for
It’s one small price to have to pay
To get a piece of someone’s life
A good investment I can say
Because I know that it’s mine
It’s a fine line

Fine Line

Lobby . . .

Larry looked me up one lazy afternoon
Like a lizard leaps, we rushed into the room
In a visual yet venatic spectacle
Cream of the crop
Lying like a lonely loser; languishing
Can’t seem to stop down from the top
How will we kill the time
We’re tired of all these rhymes
You’ll find me feigning folly
Laughing with the ladies in the lobby

Willy knew his worth they watched him with chagrin
Any chance they could, they’d try to do him in
Willy wonders what his world will wreak on him
When will it stop when will it stop
Only one thing did he want to help him win
Time on his hands freedom of man
Where did the good times go?
They’re gone or maybe no
I want to spend some time just
Laughing with the ladies in the lobby

Trying to hang tough though I’m tiring
Treading tidal waves in the trough
Nobody knows why there is ever
One to bring us near to each other

Frank was freaking out he found the thing he feared
He fought tooth and nail ferocious head was reared
Proudly put a powerplay into the plot
Things got so hot things got

Lobby

Character . . .

(from Friends Divided: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson by Gordon S. Wood)

". . . He was skeptical about the character of his fellow Americans as well. Even before he knew of the outbreak of the French Revolution, he had worked out a chilling assessment of the moral fiber of his own countrymen, one that prepared him to see the worst of people everywhere. . . Right from the beginning of his own American Revolution, Adams had deep misgivings about whether his fellow citizens had the proper moral character needed to sustain their republican governments. "The only foundation of a free Constitution," he said on the eve of America's declaring independence, "is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a greater Measure, than they have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty. . . "
