Allow . . .

(from No One Left To Lie To; The Values of the Worst Family by Christopher Hitchens, citing conservative Norman Podhoretz's essay for the National Review)
". . . his (Clinton's) one great and unarguable achievement , which was the destruction or "McGovernism" in the Democratic Party. Clinton might, said Podhoretz, have wavered occasionally on matters like the sell-out to China. But he had forever defeated the liberal, union-minded, bleeding heart and environmentalist faction, of the sort that had once stuck up for Vietnamese or Nicaraguans or (worst of all) Palestinians. . .The admission that Clinton is a political conservative, who has moved the Democratic Party to the right while relying on rather prostituted "correctness" constituencies, is one that few authentic conservatives allow themselves. . ."

Leadership? . . .

The 1st amendment allows me to say anything I want. So that's exactly what I do. It doesn't matter whether its a fact or not. Therefore you must accept and respect anything I say. If you do not agree, than you are bad and you are wrong. And when you disagree, I verbally strike back, and preferably by calling you the most terrible name you have ever been called, and maybe . . .

NEVER SPEAK to you again!

Trains . . .

. . . are such an attraction to a little boy.
Johnny Cash, and a host of other country performers, certainly took a liking to them. Well, in truth, what's NOT to like . . . well . . . maybe the pollution. . .

History . . .

. . . just in case you are local. . .

. . . but possibly even is you are not . . .

Our youngest is seeing a new doctor, about his back problems, who is located on Highland Avenue and Boston Street. The building is called the Atlantic Southwestern Broom Company. As soon as you walk into to the lobby, there are photos to your right from the building’s days as a broom factory. One of the first photos you see is THIS ONE . . . (it's actually an uncle of ours who literally, not the current 'literally' but the literal 'literally', walked from his house up the hill (the street is a steep decline, or incline depending upon your perspective) every day to work. A sweetheart of a guy, by the way . . .

Shouts . . .

Shouts in the street

I hear them as I'm walking home

Shoes on my feet

Touch down and take off as I roam

Dreams lifted up

So many pies in the sky

U-flying-o's

I duck them as they fly on by

Tomorrow takes care of itself

Today has its trial and its call

Janus he waits at your door

Rising or breaking his fall

You've got your "Time"

And secrets that love has betrayed

The long yellow line down your spine

That your feeling has frayed

Take my hand we may see

Everything we mean to be

When we meet again

Should it be under blanket of night?

All that remains

Is the matter of choice in disguise

Take my hand we may see

Everything we mean to be

Am I with you or you with me?

We have our time then take our leave

Deep in the heart

Where paradox finds its resolve

Long bodies live

They've learned how to bend to absolve

Now desire is the tie

That holds us fast to life

For the sweetness of the honey

Risk the peril of the hive

Now I'm running through your veins

In exchange I know your pain

All the lies have run aground

And to this earth I'm bound

Profiling . . .

. . . our politicians . . .

(from No One Left To Lie To; The Values of the Worst Family by Christopher Hitchens)
". . . Two full terms of Clintonism and of "triangulation" and of loveless dogged bipartisanship, reduced the American scene to the point where politicians had become to politics what lawyers had become to the law: professionalized parasites battening on an exhausted system that had lost any relationship to its original purpose (democracy or popular sovereignty in the first instance; justice or equity in the second). The permanent political class and its ancillaries held all the cards by the 2000 campaign, controlled all the money, decided on all the predigested questions in all the manipulated polls. They did their job almost too well, leaving insufficient room for illusion and inadequate grounds for maintaining any steady or principled party allegiance. As a result, the only realists were the cynics. And this in turn permitted some alarming honesties to be committed in public. . ."
