I'm sailing away, Set an open course for the virgin sea, 'Cause I've got to be free, Free to face the life that's ahead of me, On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard, We'll search for tomorrow on every shore, And I'll try, Oh Lord I'll try, to carry on

I look to the sea, Reflections in the waves spark my memory, Some happy, some sad, I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had, We lived happily forever, so the story goes, But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head, They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said, They said come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads, Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me baby, Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise, We climbed aboard Isabella, we headed for the seas, Singing come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads

Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me...

He wasn’t sailing! He was floating ideas on what to do about Egypt.

I am reminded of those famouse words of another SoS and now the new Moto for the agency:

“What difference, at this point, does it make?”

If he had adequate warning that the Egyptian government was in grave danger and then he went windsailing he was irresponsible. Everybody else seemed to feel the then current Egyptian government was in trouble.

I’m glad he was sailing. It is clear that Obama was going to support Morisi which was the wrong call.

I wish the entire Obama adminstration would go sailing for a couple of years.

I also am beginning to think the Egyptian army timed the take over for when Obama was out of town and distracted so that he could not intervene on behalf of Morisi.

We had Frequent Flyer Panetta as Secretary of Defense refusing to move his family to Washington and then flying home every weekend while we are at war. Now, we have Serial Sailor Kerry going for jaunts when serving as Secretary of State while the Middle East explodes. Why, it’s almost like he’s getting paid by someone other than the American taxpayers.

Possibly one of the best “emotional” rock songs ever penned until...the heroin kicked in and they started singing about aliens, ETs and other such stupidity.

Great music...bad lyrics.
