IN THE SAME VEIN

Neither manning (nor snowden)

have aided and abetted

the enemy.

MY TAKE

i don't think we have learned a darn thing

from

"the cover of the rolling stone"

other than

changing our expectations

PS: thanx for the editorial

(you know who you are)

Al Stewart- Lord Grenville

FULL CIRCLE

(i have posted aboot circles before)

((ever notice? your belly button is a circle))

yet i digress, again

alfonso soriano returned to the pinstriped line-up tonight

he was traded for a-fraud.

in his rookie year-he finished 3rd in voting for ROY

who finished ahead?

ichiro

and

cc

PS: circles

as the earth orbits the sun...

we live and die and in between we try to have fun

and

loving it!  :)

PSS: i read today that vernon  wells gave up his #12

saying-"fonzie has worn that number his whole career"

point of fact

when soriano hit his 1st home run-he wore #58

his rookie year?

#33

i know i am nitpicking

but those whom know me

expect me to...

(why change horses at midstream?)

A ROPE

Sat down at the bar and ordered a beer.

The barkeep said "we don't serve your kind"

He  exited.

Took out a knife

Played with his end

wrapped himself within

and went back in...

"a beer please"

"aren't you that rope i just threw out?"

"No"-

"i am a frayed knot"

The affordable health care act

"what's  that?"

(h'mmm)

"obama care" (even He does not mind)

oh that- i'm against that-we will turn into europe or canada or worse...

ok

why should you be subsidized at an age certain but be left to your own prior?

(but, not really-there are emergency rooms)

((as a society, maybe we should question this-anton scalia))

the house has now voted  (what?) 39 times to overturn!

People, people, people

got car insurance? why?

to fix your car?

(i don't think that's why the law was enacted)

why not medicare for all?

purchase a supplement plan to cover expenses not covered (or don't)

or

drink tea (i am told black is now  better than green-for medicinal purposes)

(pinkey's up)

and pray to your fairy god...

PS: no pre-existent conditions

no term-time limits

parents can protect their kids until they can stand on their own 2 feet

everyone shares the cost-and the protection

good god- fairy almighty...

PS: jesus was a healer

and another thing...

emile griffith died today. Who?

he was the middleweight champion of the boxing world.

at the weigh in at his title fight with benny paret-his opponent called him a "maragoon"

the new york times reported that meant "unmanly"

the following day paret

took blows to the head that ended his life.

Yes. mr. griffith was gay.  we've come a long way...

in other news ryan braun almost mea culpa'd

Another aside


(these are the things i think of when i contemplate my navel...

why are foul poles yellow?

they are all, uniformly "yellow"  (chris martin)
