You captured and enriched my spirit as I read you. I was mistaken for a while, thinking you were some of those geezer elder (they know who I'm taking to) who be like shriveled, wrinkled, sweet fall persimmons or a dry black prune. Thanks.
You got me pondering: Thanks LMV or is it IUD...about Charles Dickens. After a brief stay...(too long a story) Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote about people who's life is half/Gone after a blood-walk near a GHETTO. It's almost entertainment in our days if NEOGOOF's sleazy Life wasn't so wretched, dangerous, murderous, and they are all Look-red from their blood-bated breath and bloodbaths dead conscience. That's a old gospel gang HERE who jumped in a blood poodle, right. I hope I can sump up what H.W.L. wrote in 1873.
Henry said: Life slips pass us...aspirations are not fulfilled...a lofty parapet...restless passions...fret...no real pleasure...But sorrow kept me from honest accomplishments...Failures.
...*Half way up the hill, I see the Past
Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,---
A city in the twilight dim and vast,
And smoking roofs, soft bells and gleaming lights,---
And hear above me on the autumn blast
The cataract of Death far thundering from the height.*
The point is that those who have sold-out do fret as mentioned in the ...part...
...the {*} in the last 6- lines is about the very reward that one gets. Life is inward rich. Alive. The joy of being just/Fair, a Just person is {*} blessed, benevolent, enriched, blessed, and they see.
A person who refuses to cower in a fetal scared ball, can hear a spring, a chorus from Nature (J.S.B.) sparrow, and the sad...part...
...A Blind...A Deadened Conscience, and a part of divinity has Gone, flown the coop, so to speak, and etc., and., ETC,...A person such as that can't use a sharp pick from a Mind, or get a glob of hominy out from the tooth when 'um fake a camera cheese smile! Yak-Huck. 'Um become dupes and Dead one's walking.
H.D.T. wrote a letter to a friend (I love that these commentaries are also called letters.) about slavery (they are chained and balled to some lowly boss/tyrant..."No whip me georgie, me'lie too fur yoo and colon, yup")...and it's a terrible prison sorta bondage like W.C.C...gangs.
They lack character (silver) and suffer enormously.
In pencil on a scroll, here: "cribbed, cabined, and confined." A hell. The better, astute, masses in the public (people know. They just tooting lie and bite like bed bug and red-Hill-ants.) rightfully should scowl, once in awhile, and snarl back-At those politico's...Cheese.
Just listen and look! Try honestly speaking a gentle word that ya assume would penetrate a heart? Give adult like that a bag of Giant size Pampers, is right. Ya out of mind to want a career that pays you to sneer, imho, and kill fellow humanity.
As someone said here, 'The neocons wear stained and crusty "snicker-boxy-briefs" and 'stuff' them in a carry (GUCHI GIGO= garbage in, garbage out!)
I see Mr/Miss Rubbish Face's as they stroll along with a black brief GIGO case...in towns loyal to dc-Thiefs.
The testimony of Comey is riveting. The kind of thing you would expect in a political thriller starring perhaps Philip Seymour Hoffman as Gonzalez and Al Pacino as Comey. This administration certainly has proven that when you think they could go no lower they strike new lows. In performance parlance, they consistently exceed expectations in that regard.
What is amazing is that this is melodrama on the level of any dramatic show on cable and is getting more or less "yawn" press coverage. You have the "mystery” firing list of UA attorneys that apparently materialized out of thin air since all at the justice department claim to have no idea how it was created. Add the cloak and dagger melodrama described by Comey with racing cars and late night confrontations over illegal spying, and it is an "A" show on cable TV, but apparently not with news departments.
Jake007 reminds me of the Monty Python skit where two knights meet in the woods. Knight B challenges Knight A to a fight and Knight A eventually chops off all of Knight B's limbs. Each time a limb is hacked off, Knight B continues to confidently ridicule and challenge Knight A. Eventually Knight B is left with a stump of a body. As Knight A rides away shaking his head, Jake007, I mean Knight B can still be heard ridiculing and challenging.
"Are you suggesting that voters believe the GOP when it says that there were no scandals? Then why did they vote them out of office last fall--Democratic voter fraud? ... You're setting the bar too high, too soon. Justice doesn't work as quickly as you seem to want it to ...We are on the brink of a new progressive era in the US ..."
I am suggesting that the Republican base will believe that it was all just politics, just as they believe that Nixon did not do anything that "everyone else has done". I live in a sea of Republican culture and can guarentee to you that the Republican base does not see overwhelming Bush Republican corruption and lawlessness like you and I do.
I further believe that the moderates in the country will not see the Bush Administration lawlessness and corruption as anything unique unless there are convictions. Perhaps not even then; after all, the Bushies will always claim they were just doing what had to be done to protect America.
We need a Republican Federal Court System and a Republican justice system to charge and convict Republican criminals in high and powerful places. Good luck with that. (look at the numbers in the court system appointed by Republicans)
We are not on the brink of a new progressive era. That is wishful thinking at a minimum and more likely self-delusion. The most we can hope for in the near term is a move away from the authoritarian right.
Sigh. I do wish you were correct. Time will tell which of us was more on target this day.
The Wasilla soap opera just gets weirder as Palin complains critics are "picking apart a good point guard"
The media outlet's use of Bush euphemisms sparks a much-needed debate on journalistic standards.
And so are his Fox News pals, who lambasted Sen. Al Franken's "stolen election"
An inflexible right wing is allowing the Golden State to drown in debt. But it's not alone
Thanks for sharing, Governor. Now please take a cue from Norm Coleman, and go away
