First tolerably warm day in weeks...ice goes out...please, please bring on all this global warming to melt the piles of snow...we were promised...promised

 
 
 
I have never seen so many people working so long and so hard to be so totally gumped, As those who now labor on that Iranian deal...What? Oh, what? is going on in the collective little brains of the left. What do they hope to gain for themselves and what do they hope to gain for Thee and Me...goose egg, zilch and nothing. 

I hope You get your peace prize before the nukes fly. 
I love the wires






New Auditorium rises, old one lost to flooding
and poor judgment of placing it on an obvious
flood plain...mostly so local snobs might see
their children in the "Nutcracker" between prep
sessions for the ACT's
 

new studio arts rises, old one lost to flooding and the
bad judgment of placing it on a flood plain.
 Soon there will be a new Museum of Art downtown out of
harms way high up on the bluff...
and a suitable venue for that horrid mural by
"Jack the Dripper" who killed himself driving drunk in a Buick.
The old Museum all but lost to flooding.
(it looked like a truck depot to Me.)

 


there are ways to avoid flooding

That pesky old vast right-wing conspiracy
rears it's ugly head again...
with a little help from a woman who does not think the rules apply

to her...or that she thinks there are any rules. Why should they

apply to so august a person as herself. Why, the very idea that she

should be encumbered by rules meant for the common,

butt scratching, nose picking folk.

Goodness!

The list
 
 “polarizing,” “calculating,” “disingenuous,” “insincere,” “ambitious,” “inevitable,” “entitled,” “over confident,” “secretive,” will do anything to win,” “represents the past,” and “out of touch.”
 
These words and phrases, apparently sent to the
New York Times
by a group of Hillary supporters are to be considered as
code for sexist reference to the Hillary.
They are also the very best description I have ever heard
of Hillary Clinton.
 
Thanx
for this self assessment!

Since it is a really, really dumb idea that is
never, never going to happen...
I would like to state that if anybody came along to make
voting mandatory...that this would be the very last ballot I
would ever cast for anybody. I would gladly wear an Iron
mask and dwell in a tower for the rest of my life, the Idea
of mandatory voting is the antithesis of a free society.
I do not wish to join North Korea in having 100% participation
in elections.
I realize Our Dear Leader was simply thinking out loud...
engaging in a sort of sophomoric and dreamy musing about 
his perfect world, but...

silly shit is silly shit is silly shit!

(several nations have tried this, most have quickly abandoned it)    
  
I can't wait for next fall on the Walking Mall
making my tin cup now
If you give me a quarter...I won't sing
"Dew Daw...Dew Daw"
First Lady, "Wake up! Wake up!"

President, "Huh, wha, Huh?"

First Lady, "I heard a noise downstairs"
"go see if there is anybody down there."

President, "Oh, the Secret Service is on duty,
go back to sleep."

First Lady, "Better get your golf club."

I'll fly away...I'll fly away
