Mr. cluck asked for a new post. I feel a bit like a dull boy these days – been distracted by work and computer problems – but I think there’s something else going on, or, as the case may truly be, not going on.
Doesn’t mean that important processes aren’t running their course or that [...]

: Um... I have a feeling that Puppy Bowl would be just about the greatest thing ever for toddlers ca age 3. Was there more to it than puppies playing on a mock football field, really broad voiceover, and occasional very simple vignettes involving very broad football jokes?
: There were tail gate parties before the big game. And then there was the all kitten halftime show that was quite impressive. In the end, of course, it signified little in the grand scheme of things, like the more heavily watched game.: Reminds me of the time I recorded a baseball game in the early days of VCRs and then put it on play just before the family came over for a picnic. It was the third or fourth inning before my brothers emerged from the house and chased me down the yard, egged on by our father.: Good times!: Now a good piece, from Time magazine, on the tea parties, not a typo http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20100208/us_time/08599196072600

January 29, 2010 | 6:32 am“People are 97% water and no damn good.”
They’d do what they oughta,
If they god dammned could,
But they can’t, so they don’t,
And they ain’t gonna change.It’s a hundred percent fact,
That the truly pure,
Are more or less demure,
And don’t make a show,
Of a holy man act.Those precious few don’t affect the case,
For the utterly pure never win the race,
Which always goes to the mostly base,
Cause none of us likes very much to be,
Reminded too much that we’re deeply flawed,
Though we talk a bit about being awed,
By those few among us who walk with God.Then too the vast mass,
Of the flawed and crass,
Like nothing better in the end,
Than a deep and sweet crow,
At the predicament of them,
Who get caught, caught, caught,
Where they ought not go.Who’s to say the vast herd,
Isn’t better off for the word,
To get around and resound,
Among the flawed but sound,
That if you should get caught,
Doing what you shouldn’t ought,
Ninety Seven Percent will pretend,
That your act was round the bend,
And the mocking, the mocking, will never end. - State of the Uniter
January 27, 2010 | 9:52 pmOut of Illinois there burst a man,
Beloved of saying “Yes we can!”
As moonstruck crowds took up the cry,
Mrs.Clinton went by the by,
And McCain was soon an also ran.In Washington he set out to do,
Such as is done by Daley’s crew.There was ecstasy for nigh a year,
His soothing voice allaying the fear,
Reaction to his spending was surely near,
Out where jobs were the biggest need,
Under the radars of Pelosi and Reid,
Gone were the Dems in NJ and VA,
Huge then the shock at the loss in MA -

January 11, 2010 | 12:17 pm…than the pedestrian Obami would have it, and [Avatar] is an American film. Think about it. The Russians and Chinese and others will see it and they must again marvel at our creativity and our technology. They will be seeing yet another distinctive American film, a wonder like Dances With Wolves and E. T. and Close Encounters… before it. Again they will be seeing America at Her best, an America which can meld together all people of good will, an America which is not afraid to be self critical and idealistic. They may even come to think well of an America which can inspire such a fine sense of wonder as “Avatar” has done.

December 30, 2009 | 12:29 pm…a narcissistic political “prodigy” who rode that perfect storm of financial crisis, race neurosis and war exhaustion into office. To call him an anti-Semite seems, ironically, to attribute to him something approaching a genuine principle. I doubt he’s held a sincere political, social or religious conviction in his life, in the sense of being willing to subordinate his ego to it or sacrifice his cynosural glow on its account.

December 23, 2009 | 11:23 am…is entirely dictated and distorted by the actions of government. It’s not too much to say that government is to blame for everything we don’t like about our health care system. [...] It IS possible for things to be different, and the main thing that has to change is how much the federal and state governments are involved in “health care.”
