Well, as that great patriot and freedom fighter, Pat Summerall, opined during a long past Super Bowl: "This is just unfortunate."
The barbarians are not only at the gate, they are unscrewing the hinges and methodically disassembling the gate fastener by fastener and board by board.
Some allege Bush, Jr. is a few fries short of a happy meal. If McCain were wall board and given a sound rap, would there be a solid stud behind it or just dry rot? The Democrats are beneath mention and contempt. The others are just that - others, and will remain so in this election at least. Meanwhile, Clinton is unwilling to be deterred by such an archaic concept as the legislative branch of the government. Executive fiat is the fuel in his crack pipe.
What else? Hmmm.... the Chinese have many of our military and technology secrets. We fight a war on drugs that we can not possibly win, while un-named (by me) Federal agencies broker drug deals in the interests of 'national security.' Our very sovreignty appears to be negotiable.
And on... And on... And on....
Doesn't it just get to be a bit TOO MUCH?
All vinegar and no honey can make for a very bitter life.
So much for the rant. Here are just a couple of movies that I use as a restorative.
1) SINGIN' IN THE RAIN - My favorite. Marvelous! Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds. Singing, Dancing and Comedy all wrapped into one. If you have a DVD player, so much the better. The movie is a feast for the eyes.
2) HOOSIERS - Gene Hackman arrives in Hickory, IN to coach the high school basketball team. The locals don't like him. The team doesn't like him (at first). State championship? No way. So folks would believe.
I have others. Anybody else?
