The State of the Union
I am posting, sans purple finger , a mildly amusing, out of season picture, to remind me of kind, wise men, and that life is just a bowl of cherries.
You will be proud of me for avoiding the use of terms like arrogant prick, out of control narcissist, liar and delusional when referring to W.'s triumphal oration. (he still says "aay" for the article "uh", and newcular, which, to my mind lacks imperiousness) I turned off the TV midoratory, to avoid raising my blood pressure, just before the touching scene of the implanted Iraqi shill rushing around the audience to passionately embrace the mother of a dead Marine. W. has brought meaningless, needless devastation into the lives of both of these women, for which they are showing their gratitude - otherwise it would mean that their unspeakable sacrifices are for naught.
I must confess, instead of listening to the uplifting Esther Hicks, channeling Abraham, last week in my car, I got glued to Richard Clark's edifying analysis of the history of the war on terror Against All Enemies". It's amazing what a simple minded, arrogant leader without a smidgeon of intellectual curiosity can do to screw up a nation in a jiffy Perhaps it is more malevolent and intentional than that.
Now, you see, I have my gizzard in an uproar again. I must remember that my gizzard is my responsibility. If I want a gay gizzard, I will have to stay away from subjects like this. Period.
