And "Movin' On Up!"
This:
( Yes, he actually can fly jet fighters... )
Versus this:
God help us all...
Unfortunately, for all of us,
"The Recoveryless Recovery?"
All I know is what I see in my city... 20-25% of people with no jobs... the first billion-dollar "condo conversion" we ever had in foreclosure... the biggest Realtor shuttered and shut, while a competitor touts "Foreclosure Bus Tours!"
Between one fourth and one third of businesses standing empty, with "first month's rent free!" crossed out and "two months FREE!" under it...
Franz Kafka and Phillip K. Dick could not have collaborated on a storyline and come up with anything as surreal as what I am seeing here.
Nancy Pelosi was asked if the Healthcare bill was constitutional. She said, Youre kidding, right? The Democrats and their media sycophants could care less about the Constitution.
The author may be right in his conclusion, but he too quickly dismisses some possibilities that cause some of us concern. He lacks imagination.
This is my favorite clip of her. It is about her outrage over the government taking over General Motors and how only the politically connected dealers were being allowed to stay open.

And Bush gave warning after warning about the housing market and Fannie and Freddie and the Rats just sat on their butts saying aint broke aint broke aint broke.
Until they could no longer hide that it was, in fact, broken. Then they sat on their butts saying Bushs fault Bushs fault Bushs fault.
Ill never forget a snippet from an article I read in the WSJ at least fifteen years ago ( paraphrasing ):
...in Holland and Belgium, the very old, and the very sick fear being sent to a hospital because they are afraid of being euthanized against their will...
This is a very old evil.
Just a small, personal note?

Goto the last page and scroll back for more- but?
Last May I learned, belatedly, that my Miss Emily had had silent heart disease all along.
When I learned that, the Terrible Dark Cloud that lay over my every waking moment lifted off me.
I threw Cole-boy in the car and went to the Island to see face to face the widow of an old friend of mine. Known each other not all that well, but for 31 years.
She’s a cat lady & I’m a dog person- so we’ll see how it works out, but? It’s interesting...
I sit her house when she’s away, and gave her keys to mine. She has a lot of troubles- I don’t care, except I’d make them go away if I could. Everybody has troubles. Every one- you can’t escape that, it is part of being human.
I will go to my grave loving and missing my Miss Emily— 25 years of being married is a lifetime.
But?
She’s gone, forever, to the Sea...
Say a prayer for Miss Emily- she really was the best friend I ever had. While you’re doing that, say one for johnny & Miss MaryAnn- that we find our way to a good place, separately... or together.
