Hold out, and keep the faith
I see where the Grammy Awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday night. Hundreds of artists have been nominated for the top awards in the music industry.
Lula Collins never won a Grammy. Hold out, and keep the faith.
I hope she got her reward elsewhere.

IMO, it is quite simple to separate the timeless value of her fictional novels from her incoherent rants seen as an attempt to influence society, from a liberal perspective, render her novels as a source of jokes by the left.
Her novels, especially Atlas Shrugged, were about vilifying the unsuccessful.
So far, $30-40 million has been spent to produce two movies that have returned $7-8 million. Now using the tenets of her works, the second movie should never had been made given the fact that Atlas Shrugged I did so poorly at the box office. And now they have announced part III to be released this summer.
Like I said – throwing bad money after bad – the very device she used in her novels to ridicule.

I see you read the CNN article today ………… I guess that author would be embarrassed by some of Jesus’ “tweets” !
Sometimes truth hurts and the Bible is offensive especially to those who ignore its admonitions and warnings. To be true to its teachings, one must preach the “whole” Gospel …….. not just the easy parts:
Jesus to the highly respected religious rulers of His day:
John 8:44 “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire …… ”
Matthew 3:7 “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?”

Wonder how these Senators feel that all answers to national security issues are to be vetted publicly have such a sway in that THEY can make determinations about who is right/wrong in lieu of the facts?
It appears their arguments are so weak, they have to further confuse the already confused voters about what actually happened.
Secondly, the rules of the Senate allow this outrageous behavior which allows them to stop Presidential nominations to important positions that are vital to OUR national security efforts. When a crisis evolves anywhere in the world and we do not have department heads in place, the first thing these short-sighted individuals do is blame the President for not having a handle on the situation.
Sen. Reid(D-NV) made a huge mistake when he tried to accommodate the Repubs by not requiring them to stand on the Senate floor and filibuster until they could not filibuster any more.

It is a good thing that SgtMaj Pendry has his opinion because there are plenty others that would disagree with assessments.
And one should notice that what he said about the Islamists believing that American military personnel would run away because many disagreed with the war in Iraq clearly illustrates how badly he is mistaken.

Oh yes, one has to wonder how SgtMaj Pendry left off Ronald Reagan, who openly violated the Constitution when he made secret deals with the Iranians to hold the embassy staff and he trade American embargoed military items.
Or, how President George W. Bush used the Congress to keep the war in Iraq and off-budget item which costs this country $1 Trillion dollars each year.

Ronnie’s administration followed Keynes economic theory exacty. They cut taxes and government spending was increased by large amounts of defense spending. Just as Keynes predicted, the cuts and spending stimulated the economy and ran up huge deficits. National debt started upward in 1980.
Ronnie’s goal was to force the USSR to match our spending and bankrupct them. He did. But we he strted us down the same road.

They are people of every sex and station and they yearn to be challenged to a cause. They will always be looking for that wrong to right, that ill to cure, that song to sing; and there will always be those who will go to arms in aid of the helpless and the downtrodden. Ignoring the political issues of the moment, these people will champion the weak and the poor in the face of evil and tyranny. And no matter what the outcome, in their romantic hearts they will always keep the secret, if secret it must be, that they are better men for having held the lamp beside the golden door”.

He chose Mississippi for the reasons y’all contend and that was. to me, an insult. The Neshoba County Fair, though, was not for the reasons y’all seem to want to contend.
But, that falls into the category of not knowing about Mississippi and its history.
BTW. the Neshoba County Fair is an outgrowth of the Choctaw meetings there long before the White Folks and Black folks sent some of them packing and took their land. It was the site where the nation met to listen to and choose their leadership.
And just to keep up with the PR end here, the state’s largest employer, Chahta Enterprises, is a major player there these days…you don’t do jack sh*t in the Magnolia State without consulting them, either…not something you see every day, north, south, east or west…

Your selective condemnation and get out of Leviticus free cards are well known on this blog.
You are very well aware of that.

I am that. Folks accuse me of “whitewashing” and ignoring the bad side. There are plenty of others who can and show that side. Somebody has to present the other side, you know, counter the liberal Fox news version…fair and balanced!

Indigo, while I hope not and I suspect they will be monitored much more closely, I don’t disagree. If Bush had done it right, the outcome might have been different. Still after 9/11 it had to happen.

I didn’t denounce your little fair or those that attend it. If you like going there and eating funnel cakes and candy apples, rock the eff on.
I merely stated it wasn’t a coincidence that he picked the south to make his announcement. I assume the fair was a strategic move based on dates, message, etc.
I didn’t use your state as a platform to send a message to the white Democrat voter in the south, Reagan and his folks did.
I know you wish he would have done it elsewhere but he didn’t.

Here’s the simple truth. You can’t be an American company only when you want a massive bailout from the American people. You have also got to be an American company, and pay your fair share of taxes, as we struggle with the deficit and adequate funding for the needs of the American people. If Wall Street and corporate America don’t agree, the next time they need a bailout let them go to the Cayman Islands, let them go to Bermuda, let them go to the Bahamas and let them ask those countries for corporate welfare.
How true

Well it is back to the bed. Nursing a cold and my energy level is lower than I thought it was.
If I’m not back on, everyone have a great night and even better start to the week.

Given your expertise at the two-step, you’d have a grand time at the “little fair.” Again, educate yourself on the fair, its traditions and its role in Mississippi politics as well as other things. No funnel cakes and candy apples…
The fair was NOT a strategic move…get past that…move on. Philadelphia has.
Oh, and before I forget. An interesting tidbit of trivia from the Magnolia State. It has slipped in the ranks of the “most conservative” from number 1 to number 5…

I think you’re dancing in front of a two-way mirror. The image one see’s in Reagan’s actions depends on which side of the glass you’re standing. As one who knows the inside, your view will be different from those who don’t know. From where I sit both sides are both right and wrong.

Big Business has many disagreeable aspects harmful to the American people.
One of them is a complete lack of any sense of patriotism.
The corporate moguls are ONLY interested in enriching their personal estates.

Oscar,
Reagan’s objective was not to follow a Keynesian economic policy but to force the Soviet Union into an arms race they could not win. It succeeded and guess what, Putin and company is taking a page out of Reagan’s book to use that same strategy against us.

Indigo, I agree. As also pointed out every CEO has a contract but most other workers do not. It’s time we stand up to the “CEO class”.

…but better just sip the Bourbon straight…
I’ll post this again, as it seems to work for me:
2 oz. Bourbon
1 oz. lemon juice
¾ oz. real maple syrup
The barest whisper of salt
Shake with ice, strain, and serve in a chilled rocks glass

I remember when President Carter boycotted the Olympics because the Soviet Union occupied Afghanistan.
Afghanistan won and the Soviet Union collapsed.
Now we are the occupiers and I hope we will not repeat history.
