I regret the suffering of any human being from a vicious, debilitating disease. And on some level, I admire anyone who battles such a foe with great tenacity.
This said, I must recall a sticker I saw many years ago on the Ford Fairlane sitting in front of me at a traffic light.

Michelle meets Winston Smith
“We’re going to have to make sacrifices, we’re going to have to change our conversation, we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history and we’re going to have to move to a different place.”
Somewhere else Michelle Obama also states that her husband will require us to work, to move out of our comfort zone.
That HE will never LET US go back to being the way we were. Back during the campaign Obama introduced his "civilian army" project... which will be just as well equipped as the US military..." it bothered me back last summer, sure. But dear God. I really thought he was being poetic or rhetorical. Yeah, that was probably it.
And I am reminded, time after time - of George Orwell's haggard hero, Winston. A tired, starving cleric who lives in fear of being reported to the thought police by the neighbour's kids for thinking non- PC thoughts and not clapping loudly enough during the Two Minute Hate.
Winston's daily job is to search the newspaper archives day after day, correcting past articles which don't reflect Big Brother in a flattering light. Over the ever present telescreen [ I think he's in the lunch room] comes the glad news that chocolate rations have been increased. Winston perhaps is the only one in the cheering cafeteria who remembers that chocolate rations were cut in half a few weeks ago. This increase still only means they have less chocolate than a month ago. This is hardly real news, but a carefully manipulated press release - a crafty piece of damage control.
Not unlike the sort of drivel we hear daily from the Obama administration.
Lately they're having to scramble like mad to keep up. Every time Obama or one of his advisors open their mouths, every time new horrifying numbers are announced. As each shady, marxist, guy-out on parole advisor is introduced. It's always up to poor, blubbering Gibby to field the press and take the heat. Sometimes I actually feel sorry for him.
How long can this go on before something blows the lid off so high that the whole world finally understands what is happening?

I can hardly wait...
....to see what heinous, covert thing some world leader will try tomorrow. Today it was finding out that Tony Blair probably cut a dark deal with Libya for oil$$$ and as a result, the Lockerbie killer walked free, hopefully to expire soon and rid the world of another burden on the system. Not to mention the extra 'stray' two trillion dollars Obama tried to slip under the rug on Friday...dear God. What next? It gets more bizzare and their behaviour more brazen everyday.
And, even though the recession deepens, the printing presses crank out more Obampoly money daily , we are told [ seven months after the new admin. was supposed to have whipped everything into shape] ...it's the fault of Bush and Cheney. And always will be.

My favourite guy with dirty hands...
whose silliness has been a joy the last 30 years or so. Jon has been slinging clay and likening it's properties to spiritual life in front of college crowds for many years. I found this video and wanted to share it with the exactly 2 and three fourths folks who read this blog. Because of Jon Mourglia, I can throw a pretty good cylinder and prepare it for firing with out hurting myself.
Long may you glaze, Jon.
