Clinton to Chris Wallace: Is the meaning of Closer, Closer?
Bill sat at the Fox News Studio across from Chris Wallace to be interviewed for Fox News Sunday. He lost his temper when asked about his failure to respond effectively to the Al Queda terror campaign of the 1990's. He states that he authorized CIA findings to kill bin Laden, contracted to have him... Sign in to see full entry.

This Blogger Killed a Child, It Ruined His Life, But It Was An Accident!
I posted from the mall today, my previous post, with a greek salad staring me in the puss. I had a sack full of B&N books at a discount, and shortly after luncheoning, proceeded to begin reading one of the books. It seems that a forty-ish, high-powered New York City lawyer, with a wife who wished he... Sign in to see full entry.
THESE BLOGGERS ARE JUST NOT SELLING, & I CAN SAY WHY!
After a late morning reading my favorite bloggers, cleaning the shower, tasking the girls to clean upstairs, fetching the dry cleaning and doing the marketing, I have escaped for two delirious hours at Barnes and Noble, and the rest of the mall -- good only for its acreage that I love to walk, the...

What America Was Like When We All Liked Ike................................
Today a student asked me what it was like in America back when I was a kid. I said that it was cleaner, there were fewer people, the air was fresh, the sky was blue, we had less money to spend, and everybody wore blue jeans. Of course, I told her, we were all farmers. I wonder what this child was... Sign in to see full entry.

This Bloggers Feet Are Too Big fo His Bed..................................
I just got home. Long day. I had to pick up the girls after school, give them dinner at Godfathers, and then drive them out to their doctor's appointments. That means that I just got home. But am I complaining? I sat in the parking lot for an hour listening to my new CD, entitled Bachrach. It's got:... Sign in to see full entry.
THIS BLOGGER JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. I'LL BE HONEST!
I bought a new hat Saturday night. After dropping my youngest daughter off at the superstore, my brother and I went to the mall for a bit of shopping for books and records, a bite of Italian food, and a movie. I got a very expensive CD: Burt Bachrach: A Collection of Hits. They are sung by the... Sign in to see full entry.

This Blogger is Gone Now, But Not Forgotten. Not By a Long Shot..........
I had a nap after school. My kids were both home, upstairs doing homework. I fell into the deepest sleep! I dreamed not in pictures of either black or white; nor of video or motion picture; not of the sound of the world, only the deep rushing sound of water through an underground cave. I didn't...

THESE BLOGGERS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO SPEAK THEIR MIND
Tuesday morning. What can I say. I have been working inner-city schools now for twenty-four years. I refuse to acknowledge Tuesday mornings. Once, back in about 1985, during the height of my depression, a friend, a neighbor, Peggy, said to me one Thursday morning, "great big difference between... Sign in to see full entry.

THIS BLOGGER (AND HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE) HAS IT ALL BACKWARDS
The hurrying and scurrying of today's rat race over at near to five bells, my daughter phones me in the car and says, "pick me up and let's go to the store together." I'm like Oh, no. I'm going to the store all right, but I'm going on my way home and be done with it. "Well, didn't I do what you... Sign in to see full entry.
