I love how it looks like its middle fingers are extended when it goes postal.

Don't the Dims know special prosecutors are incongruous with the Constitution?

They should read Scalia's dissent in Morrison.

Finally home and whirling like a dervish to get dinner started-

After hearing her ad nauseum
Shrilly damning everyone in sight
I've decided my first impression
Of queen Hillary was right

No matter how she reinvents herself
Or what direction she is leading
It would be incongruous to connect
That woman with good breeding

Ah, the challenge of an incongruous problem not treated promptly and removed: A lot like a criminal left to sit in the White House with her law firm papers securely hidden, an incongrewuous toenail will become infected and cause much more serious harm to the remaining limbs.

Disheveled, eh?

(Robt idly wonders if the birthday boy has ever felt heveled in his young life ....Decides Whyisa would certainly enjoy (er, recall) feeling heveled once or twice.)

"Robt idly wonders if the birthday boy has ever felt heveled in his young life ..."

[Middle English discheveled, from Old French deschevele, past participle of descheveler, to disarrange the hair : des-, apart. See dis- + chevel, hair (from Latin capillus).]

There was at least one time when I felt quite separated from my hair; When I got my recruit haircut in basic training, I reached up to run my hands across my head -- and touched skin that I had never felt before!

Jack,
I thought of you tonight as I attended a music rehearsal.

We are singing a piece by Benjamin Britten called "Rejoice in the Lamb." The lyrics were written by a man in an insane asylum in the 18th century and set to music after WW2. The theme is the worship of God, by all created beings and things. One part says:

For I will consider my cat Jeoffry.
For he is the servant of the living God.
Duly and daily serving him.

For at the first glance
Of the glory of God in the East
He worships in his way.
For this is done by wreathing his body
Seven times round with elegant quickness.
For he knows that God is his saviour.
For God has bless'd him
In the variety of his movements.
For there is nothing sweeter
Than his peace when at rest.

For I am possessed of a cat,
Surpassing in beauty,
From whom I take occasion
To bless Almighty God.

Thank you very much, Dutchgirl!


Elegance in Fluid Motion
Complete serenity in repose
Buried inside silky fur
Offset by a lulling purr

Often suspected of late night Commotions
But caught Red Handed, nobody knows
Behind beguiling eyes above a contented smile
Humans are vulnerable to a Feline's wiles
