Sure is amazing how so many people think some material thing whether its money, clothes, homes, jewelry, drugs, votes, cars etc., will make them happy, when only our love of ourselves and others and nature can do that. It is sad that people give their power over to so many things and other people and keep looking for something that is right there in their brain.

Welcome back Bebop-o

I’m still trying to get caught up on status due to a calamitous day yesterday. Thanks for the concern about my contribution to DC’s polluted air and my upchucking. Your advice about that was temporarily helpful.

Mozart does have a palliative effect in the short term….

However, I made the mistake of trying to get caught up by simultaneously watching C-Span programming.

C-Span 2 is now featuring debate re the FISA legislation (and some discussion of the economic stimulus package), while the Desert Tortoise and Nancy Pelosi are taking questions at the National Press Club in D.C. regarding Dubya’s upcoming State of the Union address.

He seemed to have developed a little calcium in his backbone (or is feeling the pinch of tweezers on his privates) when he answered a reporter’s question about the status of the FISA legislation (not verbatim) thusly:

1. Rockefeller, Spector and Leahy have agreed on a compromise that the Repubs are blocking.

2. Major stumbling point is Telcom retroactive immunity

3. Acknowledged that this was a highly controversial component of the pending legislation.

4. It’s unlikely to be resolved by February 1

5. It’s going to be up to the president to extend the existing legislation

I’m not sure I got all that correct due to some other distractions while watching.

That was somewhat encouraging; but didn’t help my upchucking problem.

And then, there was this:

Cheney on FISA. Click on third item in this link:

It's a long story.

Go for it.
;-) We're here all day!

How true.

If a showmen (Schumann) or a umbrella collector with 30 of them umbrella's or shoes in the closet...What good is it to have no black rubber farm galoshes on a sunny day...and also, if the vain thinks they are happy...so be it. I doubt it.

Shumamann's Trameri (sp) in Flute or a Brahms, or a Rachmaninoff, a Debussy, a Mozart, a Dvorak, a concert in 'A' adagio...a Humoreque (sp) and (it's not ever depressing to listen to...good tones), O, I say Great!

Listen to Christoph Willibald Gluck's 'Dance of The Blessed Spirits'... yea!

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart concert in 'C' with a Flute, or Harp, and with a orchestra 11. Andantino can always inspire me to "harp" on a topic I despise: FALSE POLITICO'S.

A Carl Phillip Emanuel Back with a Flute quartet in 'B' flat 11, Adagio!

John Sebastian Back in 'G' tempo di' minuetto won't hurt.

I often feel like I want to Burp instead of "clap" if a politician says, "Bless you." Achoo. They pray to a theft-notion-deity. Deception! It's recorded in history.

France Schubert may have enjoyed some good sherbet?

Pierre Gabriel Buffardini can cause laughter and smiles.

A creep such as a Jay (Jello-some-one, said) Rockefeller won't be in revelry at the day the harvest scythe swoops down on his kind.

Whoever said the last laugh is FROM a person post-death, who is pure of heart? Maybe is correct. We try to learn.

Anyway, who can find an appropriate language?

Let's just be alert and discern 'our' times.

Buddy of mine sent me this. It's "funny" at the end.

The unintentional humor of 'A Charge to Keep'

Enjoy.

Of course, I'd only be able to 'croak' at you too, just like the politicos. ;->

Your local jackass is likely more responsive than some of those answering the phones for our esteemed representatives. Not to mention he probably would make more sense.

Not sure where I fit in with yams, bananas and taters in the vegetable/fruit scale, but I am honored to be blessed, B. Thanks very much.

Silence is golden Gordon.

Maybe at the right time?

Truth is served on a gold platter.

A delicious apple on a silver dish.

Thanks. We are already on the winning side.

The truth and answers are blowing in the wind.

Sometimes there is nothing to say and nothing,

to worry about, never be overly dismayed, I say.

Less Cheney and more tweezers should help with your little problem. And my Grandma always swore by tea and soda crackers too. ;->

I'd lose my leg and head if it was not screwed on...

I've misplaced my brain. Your lucky banana peal souvenir with your phone #!...was lost. I've written 'it' on a pumpkin skin that I've misplaced...also. I lose anything.

Can you call me? We can have the conversation as soon as I turn off the computer gadget? Remember. Don't you say anything you don't wish recorded in the NSA's black hole.

The NYT's, Wall Street Journal, or the WA/Po's funnies section can repeat whatever you declare. I'll turn off now.

However, please do give your husband a big slobber kiss first.

I'll anticipate a conference feral eavesdropped govmint call real soon. I'm so far behind and my head scratches.

I'll be sitting in the bathtub waiting for a # ring.

You must promise to not itch a bald spot on your cranium.

You have Senator Feinstein’s attention.

All of your calls are getting through to her. The proof: her Communications Director actually felt compelled to respond directly to the Courage Campaign this morning after bloggers, CREDO Mobile, MoveOn and others flooded her phone lines...
