The following story has not been making the rounds, however, the Newsweek staff is in dire need of a reason to smile…so I have lowered my non-existent journalistic standards one minute notch to pass along this modified note from the DC Shadow (fictitious, I am sure).
Scott McClellan was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask the White House Press Pool for some mathematical help. Addressing the reporters from the podium, he said, "I assume all of you are college graduates, and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?"
Jeff Gannon thought a moment, and then replied, "Everything but my nipple clamps and earrings."

Comments and thoughts about life from the trailing edge. (NOTE: "My version of the truth has been hard earned through experiences and interpretations shared by no other. Honor it or not, as you choose, but don't blame me for not accepting your truth as my own. You earned it...I did not.")

Liberal Agenda
Dailyread says
The world needs people to be critical thinkers, capable of sifting through the daily barrage of sound bites and visuals that misrepresent reality to cull out the occasional gem of truth that sneaks through.
If you are unlucky enough to catch a cab that is being driven by a politician, you will get to the end of your ride late, pay ten times what the trip was worth, and be standing in unfamiliar surroundings as the cabbie drives away.

Proud Veteran
How One Veteran Feels
A lack of combat experience does not diminish the pride I feel for having served during a contentious period in the history of my Nation, nor does it lessen the sadness that fills me each day our war fighting men and women remain in harm's way.
Conflict Resolution is work best reserved for mature, responsible adults. God willing, we will eventually see that type of individual assume a place of respect within the Halls of Congress and, hopefully, take control of a deeply blemished White House.

Truth is, I don't know if I WANT to blogroll and have more people reading my blog, as I am a bit afraid (just because you're not paranoid dosen't mean they are NOT out to get you!) of the evil ones as I live on Soc Sec disability + a bit from the IBU. I know those evil ones are a MEAN BUNCH....
Right now I am gonna go peruse your blog some more...
You are probably right to be cautious. I link to you because of the great stuff you post about the local ecology, and the old songs you share are pretty good.
It is way too easy for curious folks to figure out where we are hanging our hats every night, but curious folks aren't the ones we need to worry about. I am more concerned about the lawmakers than the law breakers.
