Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
I'm wearing the other pair now, which has a hot pink-royal blue paisley frame!
No, they're more like a psych ward for psychotics when the meds are two hours late. I've made desktop calls like that. Except people on DU are dirty, as well as crazy.
I spent five minutes once, browsing DU, and ran away screaming. I'll keep tabs through the filter of PK-Comix.
ROTFL!!
So....how was the rally?
Miss Cat fussed at me when I got home this afternoon.
We avoid folk music concerts anymore because of that carp. Didn’t use to be so bad, even in the mid 80’s with Reagan and all. Now it’s just ridiculous. Some of those folks are truly deranged.
They truly are, it's just unbelievable.
Well, the list includes: Thomas Jefferson, Susan B Anthony, Mother Teresa, Jesus, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and William Wilberforce. Just don’t worry about the ‘Community Organizer’ nonsense.
Yeah, but Barry O aint Ghandi or Mother Theresa. There’s community organizers and there’s party hacks.... like ol’ Saddam.
*snicker*
The rally was great! I decided to forgo the pavilion scene with 3,000 of my neighbors and I crowded together,and later found out one needed to be there by 7:00 to get in the line to get screened to enter the pavilion! So I took Gypsy for her walk, put in a load of laundry and went over there about 9:30. There were 1,000 to 1,500 of us on the lawn outside the pavilion; youngsters, oldsters, moms with strollers and men in business suits, and they played lots of good music to keep entertained. We listened to speeches from 10:30 to 11:00 by local/state dignitary types like Kit Bond, Kenny Hulshuf, etc.
Right before we saw John and Sarah, this big good-looking guy was waving at the crowd from the ramp up to the pavilion. Everyone started screaming, and then I figured it out, it was Todd Palin! They all arrived about 11:15. John and Sarah stopped on their way in to the pavilion and addressed all of us that were on the lawn. Everyone kept yelling John McCain and SARAH, over and over. It was super cool.
Unfortunately the sound system went on the fritz, and I had to come home and watch the CNN video to see what they said. Oh, well, such is life! LSA
Sounds like she’s a bigger celebrity than Obama. Hehehe...
Well, she's got a lot more going for her than Obummer. McCain really looks so much younger now that she's on board and his poll numbers are going up. And she is able to "gush" over his accomplishments much better than any male VP candidate could (without appearing really gay)( not that there's anything wrong with that)

I don't know if they'll be coming to MA. I could understand if they just bagged it as a lost cause. If they do come to the area, I'd love to go see them!
LOL! Poor thing...
There’s something about pugs that seems to doom them to frequently being dressed in silly costumes. Lucky they tend to be pretty good-natured little things.
He is not amused.
Somehow I’d missed that you were going to a rally! How cool!
*snort*
I like it.
Yeah, I’m kinda chicken about the political stuff, too. In a lot of the circles where I hang out on-line (and at work) I’m sure I’m something of a minority, but I just don’t like being a rabble-rouser, particularly since I know I’m not good at representing my side. I get too ticked off, for one thing. ;-) So I stay low key.
What’s funny is that although you’d *think* folk and bluegrass and folk are pretty durned close, in general the bluegrass folks tend to be a lot more the guns and Jesus types than the peace out types. ;-) Different crowd.
And fortunately, every single group I’ve seen at these festivals completely avoided politics, either way. It’s a relief to escape political tension for awhile. It seems to be worse than usual this election...though that may be just the change of environs. I don’t think so, though.
Um...few extra words in there. It’s approaching my bedtime, obviously.
