WE'RE GONNA TAKE A DIFFERENT COURSE -- Just A Minute Radio for Monday 11-09-09

            Howdy – It’s Monday once again –

 

            And lots of things happened over the weekend.  For one thing the House worked something closer to a full week (amazing) with a late night session Saturday.  In case you hadn’t heard… the House vote did have *one* lone Republican from LA (Louisiana not Los Angeles) vote with  the Democrats to give them a ‘fig leaf’ of bi-partisanship… I think it made the GOP assistant minority leader, Eric Cantor, from Richmond grit his teeth… he turned his head and walked away when Rep. Cao (R-LA) – the Vietnamese gentleman, who defeated the Louisiana Rep. Jefferson (D-LA) who hid $90,000 in cold cash in his freezer and now stands to do time for it.

 

            Anyway… my teeth don’t need more damage … so partly because we’re having to take a necessary business trip to south Florida to handle estate business for my wife’s late brother Walter Emery, and partly just because we *all* need some relief from Madam Speaker’s opaque *xplanations* of what she *really* meant when she endorsed the President’s promise of 72 hours of ‘transparency’ before voting. (Translation… “keeping my fingers crossed) I’m just fed up with the mangled process.  Oh if we had Ben Franklin here to lecture these people.

 

            So – today’s program veers off in a non-political direction… and we hope to hold that tack for a few days.

                       

            Meantime … I hope you’re enjoying the run-up to Thanksgiving.  For me it’s a period so much less ‘pressurized’ than Christmas… I’m doing all in my power to keep it that way.  Having to figure out what to do about Med/Ins coverage for 2010 is going to be pressure enough – especially with the gang of clowns in DC posing as elected representatives.

 

            Oh well… I’m considering it our “Florida vacation…” just without the sunburn.

 

            Have a great week… we’ll do our best to keep in touch… just not up to date. (J)

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

WE’RE GONNA TAKE A DIFFERENT COURSE

Just A Minute – I’ve been an unwilling witness to the Demo-dome on Capitol Hill – and am full up to here with “Madam Speaker” re-parsing her promises.

So while we’re off for a week or so on a necessary trip… we’re abandoning politics and I opened the Old Farmer’s Almanac for today and found it is famed Architect Sanford White’s 156^th birthday – and the birthday of Astronomer Carl Sagan born in 1934 – who died at age 62.

White was a famed architect and murdered hedonist; Segan was a Pulitzer-Prize winner, known best for his projections of a nuclear winter, which  would result if multiple nuclear explosions irrevocably damaged the world’s eco-systems.  Both, were famous in their day, but each demonstrated the truth of King Solomon’s phrase: “Vanity of vanities … all is vanity – chasing after the wind.”  -- followed by … “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man.”

You’ll find it illuminated in the Bible’s book of Ecclesiastes.
