I just read that Barry is going to “barnstorm the nation” to celebrate his historic victory. Will the people be screaming—enough already! It’s time for bed so thank you, Mom, for being our lovely hostess this weekend. And thanks, FRiends, for all your love and support. Remember the words of my dear Scarlett—After all...tomorrow is another day. Keep the faith!
Who is the dork reporter in the blue shirt and khaki pants?
Never trust a man who’s ass is wider than his shoulders..
Time for bed? It’s time for Rush...oh, wait...wrong ‘12’.

On Freedom [Peter Robinson]
From the “Legend of the Grand Inquisitor,” Dostoyevsky’s story-within-a-story in The Brothers Karamazov:
Know then [said the Grand Inquisitor to the figure of Christ, who had mysteriously appeared to him], that now, and only now, Thy people feel fully sure and satisfied of their freedom; and that only since they have themselves and of their own free will delivered that freedom unto our hands by placing it submissively at our feet….
Wouldst Thou go into the world empty-handed? Wouldst Thou venture thither with Thy vague and undefined promise of freedom, which men, dull and unruly as they are by nature, are unable so much as to understand, which they avoid and fear?—for never was there anything more unbearable to the human race than personal freedom…! I repeat to Thee, man has no greater anxiety in life than to find someone to whom he can make over that gift of freedom with which the unfortunate creature is born….
They will have no secrets from us. It will rest with us to permit them to live with their wives and concubines, or to forbid them, to have children or remain childless, either way depending on the degree of their obedience to us; and they will submit most joyfully to us the most agonizing secrets of their souls—all, all will they lay down at our feet, and we will authorize and remit them all in Thy name, and they will believe us and accept our mediation with rapture, as it will deliver them from their greatest anxiety and torture—that of having to decide freely for themselves.
