Principles . . .

 "Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."
-Confucius

(from https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-republicans-tout-infrastructure-funding-voted/story?id=82429064)

". . . In November, Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., was one of 205 House Republicans to vote against the bipartisan, $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill, calling it irresponsible and the "Green New Deal in disguise."

. . . (recently) he took to Twitter to tout funding from the bill he voted against -- highlighting a $70 million expansion of the Port of Virginia in Norfolk -- one of the busiest and deepest ports in the United States. . . 

Shortly after voting against the measure last fall, Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., celebrated its hundreds of millions in funding for a stalled highway project in Birmingham. . . . Last week, Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, touted new funding for a flood control project from the package, which she opposed last year, decrying it at the time as a "so-called infrastructure bill." . . . Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, a freshman lawmaker who also voted against the infrastructure bill, celebrating new "game-changing" funding to upgrade locks along the Upper Mississippi River. . . "

What is this song REALLY saying?

Hey daddy, hey daddy I'm all grown up
Standing at your door just like I done before
You've changed so strange you're all grown up
You wear those heels and hose dressed up in your mama's clothes
You're hip, I'm flipped, your all grown up
When I'm walking talking to ya all the time
Makes me glad all over honey so glad your mine
When you feel my touch by loving you too much
You're right, so nice, you're all grown up
Hey daddy, hey daddy I'm all grown up
You threw away those candy bars started gazing at the stars
Brand new that's you you're all grown up
When your lips so fine start closing in on mine
More thrills, more chills you're all grown up
When I'm walking talking to ya all the time
Makes me glad all over honey so glad your mine
When you feel my touch by loving you too much
You're right, so nice, you're all grown up
Hey daddy, hey daddy I'm all grown up

Relative . . .

https://www.gillette.co.uk/blog/facial-hair-styles/zappa-beard/

(from The Baltimore Sun, May 9, 1980 https://www.afka.net/Articles/1980-05_The_Baltimore_Sun_1.htm)

"Going through life as Frank Zappa when you're not the real Frank Zappa can be very strange. Francis Vincent Zappa, 39, is a world famous guitarist/composer and founder of the now-defunct Mothers of Invention. He will bring his act to the Baltimore Civic Center Sunday -- Mother's Day. Francis Xavier Zappa, 26, works at the Giant Food store on Loch Raven boulevard. He will be moving to Seattle at the end of the month to enroll in scuba diving school. He's one of many Zappa relatives living in the musician's hometown of Baltimore. "It's weird. You tell people you're Frank Zappa and nobody believes it. When I went down to the department of motor vehicles to get my picture license, the guy called my name out over the speaker and everybody turned around and said, ‘Where? Where's he at? Where's Frank Zappa?’ "Frank X. Zappa says having a famous name hasn't caused him any problems ("it's a good way to meet girls, a real conversation piece") though he does have an unlisted phone number. '"When I lived at home people would call the house at all hours of the night and ask for Frank Zappa. My parents would think it was one of my friends and get me out of bed. I'd say ‘hello’ and the guy would say, ‘Hey Frank man, I really dig you in concert.’ A lot of the calls would be from out of town." Frank X. doesn't really know his famed cousin very well. In 1962, the younger Frank's dad, Joe Zappa, moved the family to California to open a restaurant ("Eat More") with his late brother, Francis Vincent Zappa, Sr. Frank X. was only 8 years old. (Joe and his family returned to Baltimore shortly thereafter.) "The last time I talked to him was when he played the Civic Center in 1975. I asked him if he really enjoyed all the music he put out, and I kind of got the feeling that he didn't. "I'm not going to the show Sunday. I wouldn't feel right bugging him for tickets when we never talk any other time. His music is too spacey for me. When it comes to free tickets, I'd rather have Bob Seger for a cousin." Frank X's final statement about the celebrated branch of his family tree was, "I'm going to be famous one day, too. Just give me some time."

Maturity . . .

https://www.sltrib.com/news/2021/08/02/two-more-utahns-arrested/

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

". . . Jefferson came to share Immanuel Kant's 1784 definition of the spirit of the era: "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity," Kant wrote. "Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another.". . . "

In Your Soul . . .

https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/where-is-the-soul/ 

(from The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare)
"The Man who has not Music in his Soul, 
Or is not touch'd with Concord of sweet Sounds, 
Is fit for Treason, Stratagems, and Spoils, 
The Motions of his Mind are dull as Night,
And his Affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted.

Just . . .

 . . . my ego 

https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/ego.html

Sometimes I can get my point across,

And I do it rather well.

You can see

What I think

About me.

It's just my ego.

It gets the best of me.

It's just my ego

It just won't let me be,

It just won't let me be alone.

It's not one of my most redeeming qualities.

Still though it serves me rather well sometimes.

It won't be easy to just let it go,

It's just my ego.

I take such great pride in what I do.

Everyone should take some too.

Don't you think;

Pride in me,

Not in you?

There's a fine distinction between confidence and pride.

There's a fine distinction that I'll never know.

Cloaked with some discretion you emerge from the inside.

I emerge in all my glory. 

What is there to hide?

Mother said that I would never make

Any friends if I don't see

What I'm like,

If I don't lose some pride.
