Presumptuous Insect

You'll say or maybe think...

'If you have the audacity to doubt Berry's veracity, and if Berry's flow of gentle communication is too "bigoted" or pugnacious for the troll's diminutive mind, well, read Berry.

Mr. Berry will explain things without bile. Wendell Berry will be easier to read and be more simple and explicit.'

Berry has a country lawyer brother.

Again, Mr. W.B. can be more explicit.

I'm so happy when a Farmer and P.R. etc., and Jim Montague @2:36 fly in. I hope they stay.

Things get Zippy-weird and 'Up in the Air' but if a plane brings new ideas I'm happy.

Let's pretend the old stray vintage airliner that dropped off some thinkers stay on the UT tarmac. The airliner can be converted into a 'wiener plane' because they look like big airborne wieners? The plane that is...their can be hot dogs, hot buns, and doses of home made pickle relish, onions, and all THAT can be sold from the cock-pit door.

We can take imaginary flights to Baghdad, Tokyo, the French Riviera, Brazil, and refuel in New Jersey? If we are not here...reading or moaning aloud...

Einstein was the frizzy hared one who said, "doing the same thing over and over and expecting results is insanity?"

The Updates had me say, bah.

I was gonna go the NYC's 5th Ave. Nat Shermon's Smoke Shop and bum a Havana Oval to calm myself. The failures of the GOP's is so routine it gets to your head and ya's sense their war-thugs own personal angst, and unclaimed disassosative (sp) mental state. It's a feeling THEIR Despair and Shame because they are in denial and Psychic Numb.

I thought, "There they go again." They will pundit about the safety of the nation. Support the troops. heh. The nation must be safe and protect the CEO corporate thief. We support more and more Greed and The Biotech Industry needs profits. The Food and Drug Industry, agreed, is run amok. Bad food and Pharm-Meds cause degenerative metabolic diseases and fill the so-called rest-home with patients who are surely victims of the failed government oversight comities heads...

Our nation has the worst cancer profile in the world. The livestock is ill and hormone to near death before they are drug to the butcher. Well GMO- fool me thrice? Homeland Security will protect everybody from the ubiquitous terrorist in every cabbage patch and wheat field -- if not from the orange, black, and yellow streaked slimy salamanders hidden under the field stone rocks.

"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, they will find it attached to the rest of the world."

John Muir said that. There are good honest servants (Servants) serving the greater good. There are public servants who are honorable and have integrity...hint. I hope they begin to fill positions and stay to be statesmen and Ladies. What we now have is insanity codified.

trivia?

Pop star Madonna rang in the New Year in a remote village with her 'hubby' Guy Ritchie in the northern Indian desert state of Rajasthan.

Also~

Rove is a bibliophile?

Rove is a Jorge Luis Borges reading fan.

Vanity Fair posits himself as a bookworm.

He mentions 25 names. T.S. Eliot, Evelyn Waugh etc.,

And maybe Karl reads Doc Zeus and Glenn Greenwald?

Good night? I hope to not turn on the computer again.

Maybe tomorrow? bah. I turned down a invite to go window shopping in the NYC's Soho neighborhood district.
