Now that I have stayed around in what has become the world of cable news, prepackaged views, white folks trying to sing the blues, I think I'm maybe getting sick of fort politic, the cyber-chase, the biggest shtick, the media tease of when the next shoe drops, like voters should be barefoot still swinging in the trees, the TV ads the intellectual fads the statist cads, the sound bite props. Who's a liar? Who's your Daddy? Who can golf without a caddy? Who is weaker? Who is strong? One says, "Stay!" The other, "Go!" One says, "Yes!" The other, "No!" Who will help us when they both are wrong? ©2004 by icebox [This message has been edited by icebox (09-29-2004 05:17 PM).] |

some days, I feel flipping a coin gives me just as good an answer though I'd like to see that coin land on the edge...just once |

Crancy is a very polite way of saying it...I'm down right meaner then a bear with a sawed off paw of late...and Thursday Night, I'm probably going to be like Alien....yikes....I wouldn't want to meet me in a dark alley...hehehehhee Good one, very much enjoyed! |

Icebox - I'm still here reading and just wish I had some answers. Perhaps if we ignore everything it will all just go away and we can be cranky in peace. You think? |

Thank you all for the good will and laughter I found in your comments. Today's news also made me laugh. The News Media are SHOCKED that the politicians are telling them the cameras are not in charge. |
