Obama is the cynosure of his own life. I predict the posts will be about him, but I often misread what direction the students will take. Carry on...

The cynosure in Christianity is the cross, whether empty or with Christ on it. It is the sign of assurance that all will be well in spite of the horrors of this life.

"Well, Cyrus, m'friend, are you voting for Jay Silverheels or Clayton Moore as the best TV Western actor?"

"Cynosure."

#1) Progressivism is the cynosure of modern liberals and Democrats (is there a difference?) No matter its failures, they appear to be eternally convinced that their good intentions will overcome epochs of experience with normal human behavior!

#2) To the current Administration and Media, Fox News, the Internet & Talk Radio are the cynosure of evil in this country.
As for me, I'm not so sure that the arrow points the other direction!

Didn’t they become extinct during the early Cretaceous, 80 or so million years ago?

Apparently Johnny Depp thinks he's such a cynosure that Australian law doesn't apply to him.

A bumper sticker extolling the virtue of the driver’s cynosure, Obama, is a sign o’ sure stupidity.

Obama’s cynosure is the destruction of this nation.

Not your fathers Cynosure...(Bold particularly)

Enjoy some classic American literature...

The Circus-Circus is what the whole hep world would be doing on Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war. This is the Sixth Reich. The ground floor is full of gambling tables, like all the other casinos ... but the place is about four stories high, in the style of a circus tent, and all manner of strange County-Fair/Polish Carnival madness is going on up in this space. Right above the gambling tables the Forty Flying Carazito Brothers are doing a high-wire trapeze act, along with four muzzled Wolverines and the Six Nymphet Sisters from San Diego ... so you're down on the main floor playing blackjack, and the stakes are getting high when suddenly you chance to look up, and there, right smack above your head is a half-naked fourteen-year-old girl being chased through the air by a snarling wolverine, which is suddenly locked in a death battle with two silver-painted Polacks who come swinging down from opposite balconies and meet in mid-air on the wolverine's nec ... both Polacks seize the animal as they fall straight down towards the crap tables -- but they bounce off the net; they separate and spring back up towards the roof in three different directions, and just as they're about to fall again they are grabbed out of the air by three Korean Kittens and trapezed off to one of the balconies.

This madness goes on and on, but nobody seems to notice. The gambling action runs twenty-four hours a day on the main floor, and the circus never ends. Meanwhile, on all the upstairs balconies, the customers are being hustled by every conceivable kind of bizarre shuck. All kinds of funhouse-type booths. Shoot the pasties off the nipples of a ten-foot bull-dyke and win a cotton-candy goat.

Stand in front of this fantastic machine, my friend, and for just 99¢ your likeness will appear, two hundred feet tall, on a screen above downtown Las Vegas. Ninety-nine cents more for a voice message. "Say whatever you want, fella. They'll hear you, don't worry about that. Remember you'll be two hundred feet tall."

Jesus Christ. I could see myself lying in bed in the Mint Hotel, half-asleep and staring idly out the window, when suddenly a vicious nazi drunkard appears two hundred feet tall in the midnight sky, screaming gibberish at the world: "Woodstock Uber Alles!"

We will close the drapes tonight. A thing like that could send a drug person careening around the room like a ping-pong ball. Hallucinations are bad enough. But after a while you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing.

But nobody can handle that other trip -- the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head.

No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs.

Reality itself is too twisted.

Now THAT's a focal point....

WFTD Uber Alles... ;-)

Is pure hatred of anything conservative the cynosure of liberals?
