I LEFT THE SCRIPT RIGHT HERE -- Just A Minute Radio for Friday 01-29-10

            Great day in the Mawnin’ – IT’S FRIDAY ALREADY…   

 

            We’re very close to the end of Janus wery… the two faced Greek representation of looking backward and forward at the same time.  Now why does that bring the STATE OF THE UNION address to mind?  I’m sure I’ve got the reason right here in “the stack” somewhere.

 

            Anyway… we’re off to an early start on the mid-term election cycle… Or is it the 2012 cycle?  Or maybe just a motor-cycle… everybody getting on theirs and riding off in all different directions.  Well as the months go by we’ll probably get a hint one way or another… or perhaps it’ll be just like last year… both the red AND green lights go on while the yellow is flashing.

 

            Trying to figure that out all the time makes my brain cells get tired.  It’s hard work when you’ve only got two and they are sometimes not talking to one another.  However… as I pass another milestone… I’m glad I’ve got those two – even though they are sometimes in disagreement … and you know, I suspect,what the Bible says about a double-minded man…”unstable in all his ways… driven with the wind and tossed.” Well… I reckon it’s not too far to home port anyway… we’ll just try to ‘stay the course.’  I think I heard Ronald Reagan say that a couple of times.

 

            For some time I’ve been advocating a bill that would eliminate January from the Calendar and see if we couldn’t substitute another May or June… Of course that might throw the bees off schedule.  – Since we moved back from North Carolina, I left my two beehives in the care of a friend – a fellow church member at Adaville Baptist Church in Spindale.  Last time I saw him he said they were doing OK.  Beekeeping is an interesting hobby… and I enjoyed the years I kept a couple of hives.  Just this week I got a beautiful new catalog of beekeeping tools and paraphernalia.  The company is headquartered up in Kentucky – but apparently they sell supplies all over the U.S. And I’m glad  the bees haven’t taken a holiday because of all the hot air due to ‘global (political hot air) warming.’

 

            Life goes on – even if politics strikes a discordant note from time to time.  We need to think of ourselves more as all in the same ship.  That’s the way I think the folks in Boston thought about the time of the first tea-party there in the harbor.  Something to consider.  Perhaps if we smiled and unclenched our fists from time to time we might find an outstretched hand. Let’s think about it at least.

 

            We’re making some changes in the way we handle requests for scripts and/or audio downloads.  It may involve some slight changes in how we’re able to make these available to you.  Please be patient with me… remember only two half way working brain cells… I loaned a couple to a fellow talk show host… I only have 60 seconds… he has three hours… his brain cells get a lot more wear.

            Cordially, IN HIM

PS – If you can’t get them to work… I’ll be trying a fix next week… contact me at n4zhk@arrl.net I hope … and we’ll get it straightened out.

“JUST A MINUTE”

I LEFT THE SCRIPT RIGHT HERE

Just A Minute – Wednesday night, Mr. Obama made his first for-real run at a State of the Union speech.  Observers wrote it off as a trip to “Hopenhagen.”

In September, he’d tried to pull the rabbit out of that hat to win the prize of the 2016 Winter Olympics for Chicago.  He picked up the Nobel Prize after a two week Presidential record.  At a UN Climate conference, he unwisely showed up at the end where he got a ‘clenched fist’ for his outstretched hand.  Der Speigle – German left-wing paper – labeled him a prisoner of the “Stockholm Syndrome” – captive of his own beliefs.

He made no headway with Putin on Czech and Polish missile defense sites.  Hugo Chavez still sniffs for Sulfur at the UN; the Hondurans are less than thrilled with his attempt to stuff an illegal President down their throats.  He lectures Supreme Court Justices on political spending plus military policy.

And just think, we’ve got three more State of the Union addresses to sit through.  Popcorn anybody?
