Democrats Blow Chance to Take Back House of Representatives

ABC Swiftboats Democrats! From now in we watch ABC. In my house, the new channel to pay attention to is the American Broadcast Corporation for its gutsy, honest, in-depth protrayal of government efforts to dislodge a decades-old terror plot. And for its principled stand against the Democratic... Sign in to see full entry.

NEW POETRY FROM THE KINGMI BROTHERS

This is the song I wrote with my brother. We had music and no lyrics. Out of the blue, he sends lyrics to be cleaned up. Our music sounds like "Katmandu" meets "Back in the USSR". "Appalachia" That big eight wheels on the track my friend Is blowing smoke as black as sin When the engine roars and... Sign in to see full entry.

At the D.O.T. I s This Place A Zoo or What?

The old guy sat next to me not because of my charm, but because it was prime choice here at the Department of Transportation. His bald head shining as he whistled or hummed something from the Lawrence Welk era. I could tell he was really trying to be good. He was clean-cut and well-dressed for... Sign in to see full entry.

A BLOGGER CHALLENGE: DO YOU KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG?

My grade school friend and neighbor, who became a policeman, used to jump into any political debate about Nixon with the following bon mot: "well, I'll give him one thing, he did keep us out of Northern Ireland." Back in those days, the early seventies, this country was still reeling from a decade... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGER NEARING CLIMAX OF THE DAY

I wish I could describe the sheer beauty of this evening, outdoors. I am parked in the SUPERSTORE parking lot waiting for my daughter to leave work. The moon is full and Inexorably golden. Next phase is silver against the black night. The air is sweet and clean, cool and enjoyable with all the... Sign in to see full entry.

THESE BLOGGERS ARE MAD AS HELL..............

They aren't going to take it, but what can the Clinton Administration do when ABC runs a docu-drama that tells the truth? Far be it from me to gloat! When the Dems are portrayed as having taken "law and order".steps against terrorism. When, on the same day the Republican Administration seemms... Sign in to see full entry.

On language: both my daughters have very vivid language. My oldest (17) was about six when she coined the word "curvy-straight". At first glance it appeared to be an anomaly, a paradox, a compound of opposites that simply described nothing. Yet when she told me the street she was referring to, I... Sign in to see full entry.

BLOGGER FOOLED BY LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL...

Good thing I had plenty of classwork prepped for the week. I thought today was an early out -- due to stupidity I did not reread the bulletin -- and I thought that students were to stay in their home rooms all day. Since I do not have a home room, I was convincd that I would be alone in my classroom... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogger is Distracted by Song............................................

Because I had allowed myself to be distracted last week by requests for singing and so on, we didn't get to finish the writing assignment we started. So yesterday morning the first and basically only thing we did was to finish that up. The big glass had one paper completed and hung up when we got... Sign in to see full entry.

Is This Blogger doing Things Right or doing the Right Things? Or Both?

JanesO inspired me to do my housework and boy do I feel better! 1. I made a meatloaf, 2. baked yams, 3. recorded my brother's song and got the casette into the mail 4. I added Dave and I's new song "Burn the Wagons", 5. Mailed my 17 year-old's school parking ticket from last winter, 6. Made the... Sign in to see full entry.
