Rise and Shine.....did you all know that Andrew Breitbart was a FReeper? Well, he was. Very interesting.
Today I am possessed of a great anomie since MSN invaded my computer last night and changed EVERYTHING!!!!!
“Occupy”—stalwarts of anomie
Those who succeed are their enemy
They never will rest
‘til we’re like the Old West
With Wall Street like Tombstone or Laramie
I hate those mornings. A++
Anomie is French cartoons.
I caught some video of Andrew at the Occupy camps....classic. A+++
? French cartoons? How European of you. A++
You can tell we’re on the road to anomie when the whiney whims of an oversexed college co-ed before Congress is treated so seriously, while critical issues are ignored (at best)...
She is ticking off middle America, bring it on.....
A+++
Only two pluses? Now I’ll never get into harvard. Oh, those three plus people know the joy of success. How can one plus make such a difference in my life? The world was bright and shiny this morning. It was my oyster, and all I had to do was open it up to find a pearl. Now, it’s Jim Beam for breakfast again. And maybe some Jimmy Dean sausage. I call it my J & J breakfast. I’d have some hash browns, but they don’t start with j.
OMG, you are destroyed for life! LMAO
The anomie that is today’s world was much better off with Andrew Breitbart exposing Planned Parenthood and Acorn. The zeitgeist that demands contraceptives for free exposes the cacography on the walls of those ivory towers of learning. AB was brilliant at exuviating the bull and getting to the heart of an issue. He was a funambulist who could roil his opponents into exposing their hateful ways.
We are in the middle of the Lenten season, yet most of the ruck have no idea how to shrive. They wallow in their wanton ways. Only a panjandrum, like a college student, could go before a Congressional panel and demand free contraception claiming it costs $3,000 a year. What hutzpah. Not to be a pedant, but really? A box of condoms a month can’t add up to that. She limns a tenebrific picture of what is really going on in our universities. Higher learning indeed.
Not to be mawkish, but with AB gone, do we know how to take an ad rem approach to today’s world? The gallimaufry of issues we have to deal with needed an idoneous specimen of conservative thinking to deal with it. We have lost a man with, to quote Neo, with titanium balls who charged into the fray. Who else would show up at theWeiner’s own presser and take over the podium?
Actually I think is all part of team 0bama’s strategy. They didn’t like him being the foodstamp president so they figured he’d be more popular as the birth control pill president.
Classroom is dead, ti. Time to get out of here for awhile.
Bad storms getting ready to hit the area again this afternoon so schools are getting out early. I have to bring a few others home.
I saw that on the news, good luck.
Fog has been so thick here that you can’t see across the road-it was weird to be in the woods with all sound muffled by fog, sitting under a tree and watching deer seemingly just materialize-it is starting to lift now...
The anomie the present day
Has been awhile in the making-
Tossing it will be interesting
And require a lot of shaking
Some of the koolaid drinkers
Are going to feel out of place
When they have rational people
Getting right into their face
They’ll have to suck it up then
And think outide of their cocoon-
This is real life-not a classroom
Or a free trip to the moon
