SO "NOW" WHO'S ON FIRST? NOT SNARLIN' ARLEN! - Just A Minute Radio for Wed. 1005

            Good-day – as  the Aussies say it…

 

            Hope it’s been a good one for you so far.  Mine started early – between midnight and the wee hours as the returns trickled in and I got today’s program ready… I used to work for a morning paper – carrying them. (J)

 

            Anyway – the primary election season was already underway.  And we’ve had some interesting elections in MA, and VA and  NJ – So here comes another parade.  Today we’re trying to look over the wreckage in PA and KY and AR… while UT has already sent it’s results and the season is indeed over for some folks like Bob Bennett and Arlen Specter. 

 

            I’m thinking it’s going to be an even more unusual season with even higher temps and stormy weather. 

 

            What concerns me most is wondering if we can ever climb out of the debts – but I worried about that back in 1950’s … and it didn’t do any good – we got in deeper and deeper and so it goes.  But there has to be a day of reckoning… and we’re assured – you can read it for yourself… like the little Sunday School song says: “The Bible Tells Us So.”  Problem is we’re just too preoccupied, or as King Solomon did – we’re chasing after the things that are seen – rather than the things, eternal things, which are NOT seen.

 

            Pity that this wisdom we find in the most expensive school in the world – the school of experience which charges the absolute highest tuition there is – Pray we will be wise enough to be able to pass it along to our progeny and those who follow our fast fading footprints in the sands of time. 

 

            Better leave the sermonizing to the professionals.  I just write commentary – and the folks at the Bait Shop and Sushi Bar are just glad to be a part of bringing us all together.  Have a good sleep… that’s where I’m headed now.  (J)

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack
