Morning Whine (Open Thread)

(6 am. – promoted by ek hornbeck)

Good morning, campers!

With all much due respect to Robyn’s now retired Morning Muse series, I may just have to fill the void here with a morning … something.  My mornings tend to be extremely hectic until I get the brats kids out the door, then it takes me a little while to unwind. I’ll make my cyber rounds but meanwhile, I’ll designate a little space for your random whine, rant, or pause….

here.

Perhaps some soothing music will help…

This is nice on full screen… ahhhhh, that’s more like it!

    I’m happy so my whine is a little false — but I have too many things to do to be reading and writing on this blog.

  3. making it a daily peek at pop culture. Problem with that concept is…  my view of that is badly skewed. That all I got. heh.

    Apparently theres some big buzz about Oprah. yawn.

    I could work on it though. I have this dear old friend from college days who is bloggin from WeHo these days, he’s visiting Russia right now. He’s a very…culturey kinda guy.

    and I was hoping to get at least a couple of days.

    Can I just say how much I hate the fucking holidays?   For me it’s always a forced layoff, at a time when you’re expected to spend gobs of money.  

    No work for you, but spend spend spend!

    I just don’t have it this year.  I’m broke.    there’s been almost no work all year.

    I think I am going to side with Republicans on this one. Mais pourquoi ? Because let us hew to the law of least hypocrisy. If we are going to conduct a show trial, let’s conduct a show trial. Regrettably, the Obama administration seems firmly dedicated to the rule that if it can be half-assed, it must be half-assed.

    Leave aside the fact that these decisions are pure whim and fancy, based on no discernible principle. Leave aside the Attorney General’s boilerplate prosecutorial insistence that a conviction with the maximum sentence is not only desirably, but inevitable. Leave aside all the back and forth about who will or will not have the opportunity to grandsand at trial, whatever form that trial takes. Concentrate instead on the Obama régime’s ludicrous insistence that it carry through with a legal process whose outcome has no relevance except insofar as it could provide a superficial rationale for killing the defendant. That’s what’s at stake; it’s all that’s at stake. For all its insane bluster and hubris, our government is not comfortable simply putting the guy against a wall and shooting him. So. We go to trial. If convicted and sentenced to anything less than death, he will be imprisoned forever. If acquitted and not sentenced, he will be imprisoned forever. But if sentenced to death, well, see you at the party!

    The Bush people appear almost admirable by comparison. Their military tribunals got bogged in a morass of internal power struggles and legal quibbling, but no one in that administration pretended that tribunals were anything other than what they were: an administrative sentencing process for the presumed guilty. Now that is a travesty, but at least it’s a honest travesty, and certainly not without historic precedent in this and other countries. Indeed, one might even call it the civilized norm in the broad sweep of history. Meanwhile, in the present, we must endure the endless invocation of justice from those who would traduce the most basic, fundamental principles of legal due process even as they extol them.

    I have to agree.   At least with Bush we had a transparency of sorts — a transparency as to our government’s sheer criminality.   With Obama, it’s all glossed over, all distorted, all fed to us with this charming face and false principles.

    And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, “Speak to us of Children.”

    And he said:

    Your children are not your children.

    They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

    They come through you but not from you,

    And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

    You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

    For they have their own thoughts.

    You may house their bodies but not their souls,

    For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

    You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

    For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

    You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

    The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

    Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;

    For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
