Opus

Isn't there anything untouched by naked political rancor?

BERKELEY BREATHED? WHAT'S IN A NAME?

I don't know anything about Berkeley except his name.

I'm guessing gay boy?

Don't have a sex with a thornbush

Is what my grandma used to say. But then again she heard voices.

So, maybe ticks is good eatin'?

A case of natural selection.

Non progressive is a recessive trait.

If you don't drink the koolaid you won't end up on the wrong newspage.

Maybe, just maybe the blueberry taste was worth the pain.

Politics reflect nature.

I say, "take the handful and run off to the shade".

Ticks have to be on some blood source within a very limited amount of time or else die of dehydration in the summer heat.

Rocky Mountiyin Spotted feaver hurts- and can be fatal.

Maybe the blueberries make the Spasmotic Tortelli more bearable.

If this is how "The Creator" starts the slow goodbye, I hope the end comes through blueberry overdose and not through a love deficit, as is with the rest of us the sad case.

Life is like a box full of chocolates

Sometimes you get a box full of crap.

Roses

Roses have thorns.

Sometimes what you don't see is what you get. You should look out for yourself.

Pay attention to the world around you.

Get your own damn tick repellent

What about "personal responsibility" huh? Get your own tick repellent! Wait, maybe that's the Libertarians. Republicans like to spend our tax dollars on themselves; more than Democrats ever did. They just don't like the government helping non-Republicans.

I know, maybe Congress budgeted tick killer but one of Bush's cronies got paid millions to remove the ticks and farked it up.

Mission Accomplished!

:-p

And then you get Lyme disease

And die a slow horrible miserable death.

As A People ....

We have to move beyond "whose ox is gored" ........ fairness and fact have to take the place of special interests.

On the other hand...

If the liberals had said yes, Opus would be dead from eating a bunch of tick killer.

This is kinda deep, actually

Whatever makes us go "ouch" does largely determine our political bent.
