[ConorMacNessa]

From "The People Speak" by Carl Sandburg:

"Faiths blow on the winds
and become shibboleths
and deep growths
with men ready to die
for a living word on the tongue,
for a light alive in the bones,
for dreams fluttering in the wrists . . .

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I watch Matlock re-runs until my husband gets up. Then he switches back to F & F, but it has become a disgusting program — all fluff and no substance. Hemmer and McCallum is better at 8 (Central) but, overall, Fox has become a real disappointment.

Truthy, have you seen my favorite video of the week? It will melt your heart.

[SoothingDave]

I have last night’s on my DVR but haven’t watched it yet.

Thanks for the link. I forwarded it to my daughter,
who will be having her third child in a few weeks. She has a 4 year-old girl and a 2 year-old boy. It will be our grandchild #9, and will break a 4-4 gender tie.

He's not on my preferred list either, but that passage has stuck in my mind since I read it in High School almost a half century ago.

I’m in the process of Tivoing the BB marathon and don’t usually watch shows live but the best moment was Mitchell getting Lily ready for school.

[xsmommy]

saw you being your pedantic best on this thread which mirrors our discussion of last week about the Pope.

[SoothingDave]

I watched the BB pilot last night. So good to see the mild-mannered guy just starting to become assertive.

Telling the car wash guy off (”f you and your eyebrows”) and assaulting the punks in the store mocking his crippled son.
