A man, a year, a song to get us started
To kick off this evening’s festivities, I have the pleasure of introducing our resident polymathic pedagogue, that unreconstructed defender of the Magnolia State, that most cynical of innocents and most innocent of cynics, that sharp-tongued, smooth-talking provocateur and scourge of imams everywhere — yeah, you know who I mean:
“Not every year is a Julian calendar year. It was the year that I became a man, in all senses of the word, when biological urges from the dawn of the species met and merged with religious traditions dating back millennia, family traditions who knows when and where they began, and when I would come to personally understand what “one generation passeth and another taketh its place” meant in metaphysical and human terms, all this to mark passage into a world which would be turned upside down before the first year of manhood would be over.
Before that year was over I would have had my first real sexual experience, have been taken to the Madame, gone to San Francisco for the Summer of Love, have left behind the country comforts of home, hearth and knowing everyone I met to go to prep school in the big city, my brother would leave for Vietnam, and Granddaddy would die.
These personal and private milestones played out against a backdrop of events which, too, marked my nation’s and my world’s loss of innocence and gave us even a sometimes optimistic glimpse of things to come: the Six Day War, race riots all across America, Thurgood Marshall appointed, the Chinese H-Bomb, Muhammad Ali convicted for draft evasion, Biafra, New Orleans Saints won their first pre-season game and lose their first season game, convictions handed down in the case of the Philadelphia, Miss. murder of civil rights activists, Surveyor 5 landed on the moon, Pentagon protest, first human heart transplants, “Laugh In,” “Magical Mystery Tour,” Khe San, USS Pueblo, Tet Offensive, My Lai, Prague Spring, LBJ announced he would not run, MLK assassinated, London Bridge is sold, Mart Crowley’s “Boys in the Band” and “Hair” premiered in NYC, worldwide student protests, Poor People’s March, RFK assassinated, and that day the innocence ended once and for all….
And the music, never before and never since was there such a time. For each memory there is a song. But one always seems to bring it all back to me as if it were just yesterday. There are many videos for it, but this is my favorite since it is in real time as was the disjoint between the pop culture as seen on TV and the world about which it was commenting.”

From Van Jones –
“If the Tea Party is allowed to score a trifecta, their ideas already are corrupting the Supreme Court, you see that with Scalia’s antics, they already have half of the Congress. If they get the rest…and the White House…if the Tea Party governs America — if this time next year, you are living in a government run by the Tea Party — let me suggest to you that they might use power a little bit differently than we did. When they get power, they use it to decimate us…”
They used to laugh at us and call us vulgar sexual slurs. They still call us vulgar sexual slurs but they sure as hell ain’t laughing anymore…

And this succinctly is the rational argument behind a progressive tax code
It does not, however, make a good argument for high tax rates, only a measure of some progressivity
For while a lot of it is luck, a good measure is hard work as well

“‘Obama Girl’ is ‘not as excited’ about 2012, won’t endorse Obama”
Imo, there’s nothing there to get excited about. 2nd terms are notoriously Unspectacular.
Some think he’s the Lesser Evil.
Here’s a different opinion:
Why Barack Obama is the More Effective Evil
By Glen Ford Black Agenda Report
(snipped)
If you believe that what Wall Street does is Evil, then Obama’s service to Wall Street is Evil, and there is nothing lesser about it.
Let’s be clear: There is absolutely no factual basis to believe he intends to do anything other than the same thing he has already done, whether Democrats control Congress or not, which is to serve Wall Street’s most fundamental interests.

And in the “Land of the Free” it’s taking legislation to ensure this? Just shows how far this nation has slipped !
“The Veterans Administration in recent months has tried to prohibit Bibles at its military hospitals and ban the use of the word “God” at military funerals, and now there are members in Congress who say enough is enough.
So HR 2720 has been introduced, stating emphatically that “no official of the federal government, including the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, may interfere with the content and creed of the funeral, memorial service, or ceremony of a deceased individual, as expressed by the last will and testament of the individual or as determined by the family or agent of the individual, as provided under state law.”

“The two veteran journalists called President Gerald Ford “courageous” for pardoning Nixon. They said that decision probably lost him the 1976 election.
Woodward said he’d spent time talking to Ford about the pardon, asking him, “Why did you do this?’ And he finally said, ‘I didn’t do it for Nixon, I didn’t do it for myself, I did it for the country.’”
Woodward said the decision was “remarkably courageous,” and Bernstein agreed, saying it was “a great act of courage.”

Yup. Found a copperhead in my front yard yesterday. I was raking some leaves that’d been there a couple years—just an inch or so of leaves. That copperhead was down under the leaves and he was dang near invisible because he was about the same color.
And anyone that leaves a cat outside these days just wants to get rid of it. Besides the snakes, there’s lots of coyotes around and their favorite food is cat. It don’t matter where you live. Even in the city there’s coyotes. My buddy Jim Earl saw a couple coyotes walking right up the street where he lives. Sometimes I go to sleep to the sound of coyotes barking.

The Rev. Creflo Dollar Jr. took to the pulpit of his south Fulton County megachurch Sunday to proclaim his innocence of charges that he choked and beat his 15-year-old daughter.
And those in the congregation say they believe him.
“He did not commit the crime,” former World Changers Church International member Naomi Lyles told Channel 2 Action News…
…”I want to say this very emphatically: I should have never been arrested,” Dollar said. When details of the episode come to light, he added, “you will be appalled.”…

Looked up Bobby Vinton – he’s got a few years on me, but less than ten – not that many.

“see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” :
I know nothing about the “probable cause” for this arrest ………… that will be up to those who decide.
However, for many reasons including mandatory audio and camera for police officers now ……….. there is no “descretion” as in the old days. Add to that the new laws that “mandate” an arrest and that’s just the way it is.
In my opinion it’s a reflection of “zero tolerance” that started in the schools. We now have a couple of generations of “zero tolerance” legislators, police, prosecutors, judges, etc. who now have that mindset.
Now all of that sounds great …………………… until it’s something involving you.

Well, he’s my age and all I got to say is, it’s a danged shame you can live a good life and wind up not even remembering your own wife at the end of it. And that disease is so nasty that a bunch of us could have it and not know it for 20 years or so. Course, I suspect that Some People on this blog already have it in full bloom and the rest of us are too polite to let them know. I won’t mention any names but some of you know who I’m talking about.
Anyhow, I got a full day of repairing the damage some of you done to the shelfs at the stores this weekend, so I’m hitting the hay.
