Again, though, we are all typically waxing hawkish in our own peculiar fashions, not strange at all, just check out history. Too few are noticing that the Georgian prexy was the aggressor (and a foolish one at that, now crying all over the Western press, boo hoo for him and his), that the bigger bully allies and supporters of those he tried to quash obviously were not going to stand by with their thumbs up their anal apertures. Gee, who knew? Now little bully boy Bush uses his pulpit to decry bullyhood, when he (more like his purported brain trust) preemptively struck a sovereign nation on mere pretext, damn world sentiment and international law, engaging us in a costly and degrading "involvement" (so shocking and awesome/ful)) that has been sore precedent, at best. Stay tuned, because there is certainly more to come and we fell off the white horse.

I believe we do indeed ripen with age, if we work at it, but perhaps I'm only showing my age. Some would contend I never grew up, but we all need a modicum of that too.

Yep, our boomer daddies are in distress this election year, esp. Demo daddies. Welcome, and I hope you keep posting here. Are you meditating your final days out in the woods like a good ole Injun? If so, I would be even more interested in what you have to say. Thanks. Uh, welcome Ochetocawa. Yep, our boomer daddies are in distress this election year, esp. Demo daddies.

Before they take office, the new prexy is always briefed by the brass. Of course this indoctrination (they are the best at debriefing, consider millennia of military training always reaching, shall we call it its "zenith", as time goes by, sing me a song here), injects vinegar into the piss and, off we go. Think about it. Read about the Kennedy boys going toe to toe with them, after they kinda figured out what was going on there--Peter principled preservation of the long grey (and blue, camouflage en vogue, of course the ever present scarlet) line in David Talbot's "Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years http://www.amazon.com/Brothers-Hidden-History-Kennedy-Years/dp/0743269187 Think about it! Indoctrinated (though they call it a fine education) from formative years, these gens fall all over themselves, and, sadly, us, to promote and perpetuate their creeds, codes and self-proclaimed honor, when, in reality, it's blood and guts, that killing game, that they are about. Of course there are checks/balances, but these boys (and now the token gal or two, who will never really be let in on the real game they play), are not subject to term limits, actually speak a different language than the mass of us poor pawns here, and we will never be let in on the secret and the secret is this, aw, but it's too awful, hellish to speak it. The horror! Can Obama, wet behind the ears and less, hack it? Certainly not. Or, not yet. He needs to cut his teeth somewhere else first. Enter chorus of "It's a Small World After All," sung by multi racial international chorus of fresh faced lovers of the good, and change for the better, crying, "You don' like our nigga?"
