The news reports This Today:

Billy Ray Cyrus tells fans that she is sad. She apologized and feels terrible that 'Vanity Fair' published half-clothed photos of her in a photo spread. She was holding loosely a satin sheet around her bare back. The image reveals a midriff and a bra. 'Vanity Fair' allegedly took advantage of a 15-year old? Of course she would not like that?

Billy Ray Cyrus did a Disney series 'Hannah Montana'.... Aloha! okay.

It's a rainy day. Rain drops remind me of tears. I remember a `Nam Lady writer ~ Remember me. And when you see the sunshine, it is the eye light of the Vietnamese farmers who love you. nd If you see the rain drops, It reminds me of people weeping'.... I think daily of the war that visits the world landscapes. Remember. How can a human forget? Ondelette has a beautiful Persian poem about retaining 'our' humanity. Visit ondelettes human rights web? O, 'cut and paste the Sufi poem? www.humanrightswatch.com/[?].

Some days after I'll post a thought... I'll think... that was stupid. stooped. But there was not a vestige of hate. I hate hate. I hate war. I think ~ that post was post-stroke? A half-smile? The smile hangs half/dead? A half the face drools? You have seen a stroke victim? I imagine me 'heading' out' for some good company. I'll be going in my Mind to visit a waitress in a rural diner, and asking her with a half-smile, a`post-stroke...

GoodCelery! huh. A `Nam vet saying to the waitress Lady,

'Hey sugar, hey pumpkin, hey darling, hey Clementine, sweetie cakes... hey?

You wanna come over to my shack and weep and play, 'Clair de Lune in my bedroom?'

`

Huh? Smack. wow. It's like hiring a marriage broker to recommend advice to a servile waitress.

Toss a course green marram grass and sand at him/you! A marimba tone voice is similar to a lemon cream pie slapped in the Nam vet's face. err? I wish these bloody politico's would wash up and come clean.

Toss white whip cream.

I have no problem with blasting McCain fully and often on this issue. But it is important to remember, I think, that McCain is one of 100 senators. Remembering back to those evil MCA days, what I personally found more reprehensible than McCain and Graham's hypocracy was the deafening silence on the part of many democratic senators, the lack of democratic outrage, and the number of Democrats who voted for the MCA.

I don't see any of those names in this piece.

Derbig scoffs nice. Mooser solves crossword puzzles for non Yiddish readers.

Mooser makes ya's want to start riding a 3-wheel scooter while circumcised.

Mooser makes readers want to download a i-pod and type with a spiked club.

He better check his 600cc bike seat. Two readers call Derbig's Bar Mitzvahed null/void.

Mosser is snookered? The wife will use any other persons mental illness against their spouse.

The "enemy" may spread on the sleeping couch : ketchup, mustard, chocolate mousse spread , and relish it. A spouse loves watching ya's sit on a thistle spiked bike seat or fall and skin a knee. It seems that way? Maybe not.

Derbig. Thanks for the fresh insights.

I'd sell you a soft mousseline fabric?

But it smell like fish and asparagus?

Know it? Eat asparagus. Smell urine.

Somebody tossed some frothy sauce.

The soft seat has whipped hollandaise sauce on it?

It was a nasty 'detritus' cream ride-bye attack on it?

No spats or squabbles here or with DCLaw1. Squabble?

Readers would probably rather sip from a malt or gin bottle.

In regards to McCain's most useful vulnerabilities.... I think DCLaw1 has been closest to the target these past few days. I mean closer than both you and Glenn.

Creating a public perception that McCain has no control over his party apparatus -- that would touch the Republican base.

With respect, I don't think the points Glenn and I have been making contradict each other, and it's not a matter of being more on target. I think all these vulnerabilities are real, and they can and should be exploited. But that will take a more widespread effort, and a refusal to engage in this redundant, pointless battle between Obama and Clinton.

WT -

Anyone from these comment sections who visits mine has to pledge that they will not stop commenting/squabbling here.

The Litvaks MC Club is open to anyone who rides a 600cc or larger sport-bike,

a)has been Bar Mitvahed and

b)has a motorcycle endorsement, and

c)is circumcised. Not your bike, you. We don't like unfair competition.

And of course, no riding on Friday nights and all day Saturday

You have to be willing to wear the clubs color's, our patch, which is a Star of David behind an 8-ball.

Your ride has to be inspected by the club and declared "safe, not trafe"

Our Club Motto: Ess, bench, sei a mensch!

E-mail me for more info on club activities, rides or starting a Litvaks chapter in your town.

"demolishing" sugarman is an act which ranks in virtue somewhere between kicking the crutches out from under a paraplegic or taunting the mentally handicapped. Simple decency and compassion for one's fellow man should forbid it.

C'mon now, Holly, you don't think that's what's eating sugarman has anything to do with Zionism, or angry Arabs?

No, there's not a lot of guys low enough to screw with a poor schlemiel like him, but I'm one of 'em.

Us Litvaks make Hell's Angels and Bandidos look like the Brigham Young International Folkdancing troupe.

And our old ladies are some bad-ass balaboostas, too, bubele!

And when you come off looking as good as you did last night...

You're kidding, right? Holly, my wife read the exchange and made me sleep on the couch. I was lucky I was indoors, really. -- Derbig Mooser

Please be realistic. By the end of that exchange you:

1) Probably smelled bad.

2) Had been swearing in multiple languages (aloud) for a protracted period of time.

3) Did I mention, probably smelled bad?

In view of these facts... yes, you were lucky to still be indoors.
