I don't think Tulip has been here yet, so.....

Today's Holidays are:
Biscuit Day
Soap Opera Day
German-American Day
Physician Assistant Day
Poetry Day (National - UK)


Also Today in History:
The Jazz Singer, the first talking movie opened in 1927

Poetry Day in the UK .... hmmmm. I'll bet NicknamedBob and Jack Deth will come up with something.

Hi, Amy:

It's a dull, cool and dreary overcast day
Kind of like my mood, but that is not to say
I am going to bite someone's head off
That's reserved for my input at Word For The Day

We're in the midst of autumn doldrums
And the Left really should find a newer spoon
To stir their cauldrons
For their quips and buzzwords are becoming increasingly passe!

Woodward and Bernstein gave us "Watergate"
And every scandal since then has suffered the same fate
Until Afghanistan and "Quagmire" became all the rage
Do reporters and political hacks ever progress beyond the age of eight?!!!

Now we have thrust upon us Harriet Meirs
Who admittedly has lit no raging fires
Under conservative deflated egos
As Roberts did just some three weeks ago

We all know that the President loves to play Texas Hold 'Em
So, we really shouldn't go out of our way to scold him
Though I hope Ms. Meirs is the is the bluff and bump before the check
It's up to the Dems who are sweating bullets to call or fold 'em!

Jack Deth~ 10/06/05.

Biscuit day I will interpret this as English my favourite junk food is biscuits I can eat a packet at one sitting (US cookies).

I will try to find some photos of my favourite English biscuits.

Poetry day in the U.K.

Aw, Geez ...


Poetry Day, U.K. Style


A poem in those Blessed Isles,
Is tough on me. Do they use miles?
Or something else, a sure defeater,
In making rhymes they kill a meter.

Our language changed. There's been a rift,
Now we say elevator, and they say lift.
It's likely too late to make amends,
When left-handed roadkills meet their ends,

Our road-crews then spring into action,
With paving and painting til satisfaction,
Assures us that an invading troll,
Will move no more except to roll.

RKBA means something here,
That over there ain't quite so dear.
The way you deal with who is who,
Depends on what you're subject to.

We level eyes and stand our ground,
While they bend knee when the King's around.
The best I can do to straighten out,
The mess they have made since they let us out,

Is suggest that they learn to speak like us,
And treat the King like a regular cuss,
We've got New England over here,
(It's really pretty this time of year!)

So I would guess there's room for another,
And our Northeast coast would gain a brother.
We'll put more stars up on the flag,
And let them think they've a right to brag,

That we've finally come round and begun to see,
That the Colonies ain't a bad place to be.
They'll magnanimously give us a second chance ...

Nah, never mind. Let 'em just take France.

Great article as usual, John, thanks.

Happy German-American Day!

Here is a nice song "Danke Shoen" which is German for "Thank you."
