Mainstream traction: Obama=Bush. Told ya so.

Poll Dance: Patterson is in the doghouse in NY. Cuomo leads him 70%-21% in Dem primary polling. Cuomo's Dem primary lead reminds me of Clinton's lead in places like West Virginia last Spring.
Why is no one on the Huffington/Brentwood/David Geffen Left saying:
What a bunch of backwoods bigots and retrograde racists those New York Democratic Primary Voters are!!!!

Ignorance Implants: No giant boobs for you, for, yea, you do not hate gay people enough! Go forth with your small boobs and repent! For you shall not have cleavage enough to win beauty pageants. unless you promise to make stupid, degrading, TV commercials, then I shall giveth you big knockers. Go forth in straightness and think upon these things my little flat one.

Another note on the Obama Left's implosion: However, when the cardboard titty groper is putting words in his mouth, Obama becomes a double talking linguistic maestro, using language to magically transport an easily transfixed listener/reader to the brink of logical thought..."We are the ones we've been waiting for, " is just stupid. Where have "we" been while "we" were waiting? And, how come "we" didn't see "us?"
Read it all.

Music: After posting a guitar version of I Will Wait For You yesterday, today I meant to find the Jessye Norman version on youtube. It is disabled but you can listen here. Please do. It will make your day better regardless of how it is going now... Here is the Chairman of the Board singing I Will Wait For You



Shakespeare: I am slogging through all three Henry the 6ths as part of my morning ritual (A Shakespeare scene a day keeps the mass media numbing at bay)thinking I might find something new and exciting in these early works - I cannot. The Henry the 6th plays are dreadful. Yes, there are at least 4 BIG Shakespeare stink bombs. Shakespeare was young...and new....but I am almost done with it and planning my next read...(Measure for Measure, I think.)
So a "based on" clip is in order. My Own Private Idaho is based on Henry IV Part one (Bill S wrote Henry 4 long after Henry 6 and had, by then, become a master.)

The director (of the film) remembers, "I thought that the Henry IV plays were really a street story. I also knew this fat guy named Bob, who had always reminded me of Falstaff





A Quote: one of those lines from W.S. that is so universal now that is seems to have been in the language forever. It has not...it comes from Act 1 Scene 2 of Henry the 4th Part One.


"He will give the devil his due".
