I fell asleep listening to a tape of Bertrand Russell’s This I believe.
I was at the Thurgood Marshall International Airport in Baltimore
Decided to buy a diet Coke and found the Twinkies in my pocket
I must have stolen them from the black janitor again.

Twinkies(C)? why do I associate Twinkies(C) with homosexuality, must be Milk.

Why should I care
I am retired
I got mine
So screw it.

Let somebody else count to a trillion dollars for me.
I just stumbled on this poem by Ryokan this morning
From now on this will be my policy
Let the world take care of itself

Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out

It is one of those auto reverse tape decks.

The same tape playing over and over in my sleep.

The Twinkies were kind of smashed up from being in my pocket.

I was sorry I had stolen them but it was inadvertent I think.

I wish I was smarter about money

It is so important

I have heard that that Twinkies never go stale.

I remember the 2000 Republican convention, that big tent of compassionate conservatism and the Log Cabin Republicans who supported Bush.

I don't like Rick Warren, I do not think it is the government's business who marries whom.

I do not think I am a True Believer but I am going to going to try and keep an open mind about Obama's decision to let Warren speak at the innaugaration. I do not remember Obama ever saying he supported same sex marriage. I wish he had not chose this guy to speak. I am going to hope he knows what he is doing.

Obama's Inaugural Mistake
A gay marching band won't make up for his invitation to evangelical pastor Rick Warren.

Obama is about "diversity." That's what this pick is all about. As for disillusioned liberals, I think you are over-reacting. Obama's picks, including Hillary, all show his policies to be center-left. He's coalition building right now and that's the smart thing to do. As for him being "Bush the III'rd," I find that laughable. He's going to announce a $1 trillion stimulus policy for the economy including public works jobs, he's going to later propose a version of national health care, and he's going to help the states with many social programs including education. All of this is already in the cards and consistent with the cabinet posts he has made and where he is heading. How does this make him a oonservative? I say, don't "type cast" the guy, don't pigeonhole him by categories of expected liberal behaviors. He's a lot smarter then that. That's why he is President today and why, I believe, he will be successful.

Welcome to the Bush 3rd Term. Seems your fabulously brilliant Obama is beginning to see how absolutely right Bush was on most of his policies. That is why Obama is NOT going to get us out of Iraq for 5 years, that is why obama is NOT going to increase taxes for the top 5% taxpayers or corportations, that is why he IS nominating moderates and conservatives for most of the highest offices in government, and that is why he is accepting anti-GAY, anti-ABORTION Warren, as his new spiritual leader. Obama hasseenthe light, he knows now that Bush is the greatest president in history, and so Obama is doing everything he can to be BUSH III.

Hey Joe, did you not know Obama is a Christian before you voted for him. Did you think he was lying. Gays can have ALL the rights that ANYBODY can in a civil union without changing the long standing definition of marriage...no violin music necessary here. Did you see the gay protesters break into the church and disrupt the service make a mess and fools of themselves? It's the gays that want to SUE churches and continue this anti social behavior that are pushing this.

The papers here full of moans
The wounded warrior burn center
All the brave young americans
But we don't call them murderers
we be proud as punch for them

Christian soldiers every one
even the Jews and Muslims
onward marching as to
I need more whiskey
but hold the ice

Freeze motion
seizze the notion
Freedom is not free
it is a koan
clap a trap one handed

I hope I don't sound like an ingrate
but who asked them
letters to the editors
angry about shoes
we ought to bring our troops home

teach them ragheads a lesson
let them fight their own wars
steal their oil
never try to reply to a mnaz riff
unless you got more gift than I do
