HIGH WATER MARK IN WATERTOWN -- Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday Nov. 04, 2009

            Hello on this Wednesday –

 

            It’s a lovely Fall day… and I’m impressed with the fact we’ve had no pre-winter freeze thus far… but I see the flower-beds and potted plants just awaiting ‘execution’ one of these mornings soon.

 

            The OFA (Old Farmer’s Almanac – for the newbies) comes through with some nice autumn tidbits – such as: Today is the day of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s first piano recital in the U.S. at Smith College in Northampton MA, in 1909.  No, I wasn’t around then.  But my mother was determined to have me learn piano.  I’m afraid I was equally – perhaps a little more than equally disinterested in practicing.  My piano career lasted a short year and a half.  I’ve had occasion to regret it ever since.              

 

            I believe we’ve had a significant political series of events in the last 24 hours.  I won’t bore you with my political outlook – but suffice it to say I’m encouraged to see Americans energized and taking a greater interest in “taking-back” the responsibility for their country.  I’ll let it go at that for now.  I’m sure those of you who have followed JUST A MINUTE for any significant length of time pretty well know where I come out.  I do so unashamedly – but I also don’t want to be “Johnny one note”…I’m more concerned with making sure we realize that “Our times are in His hands” – and knowing “… the King’s heart is in the hands of the Lord and like the watercourse, He turneth it whithersoever He wills.”

 

            That’s a great comfort and truth to rest in when things seem to get tangled and confused in this present world.  God bless you and keep you in HIS will today.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH DEAR FRIENDS... - Nov. 02, 2009

Hello Again… It’s a nice Monday.

Which will be followed by a busy Tuesday as some states have important elections in what’s called the “off-year.”

New York has possibly the most interesting one in its upstate 23^rd Congressional District. The sitting Congressman Rep. McHugh, was picked by the Obama Administration to be Secy. of the Army – a sort of slightly sub-cabinet position that came about when the Defense Department came into existence and subordinated the Army, Navy and Air Force…

Anyway… ten GOP committee chairmen in the NY GOP are assigned by the party in such a situation to pick a candidate to run for that seat… but it’s not like a Primary election – which most States would use. Possibly some of you remember the Democrat party in SC picked the Senate candidate when Sen. Burnet Maybank died between the primary election and the general election back in the 50’s. Strom Thurmond thought that was not a good ‘democratic’ rule to follow…to let a committee pick what was tantamount to the Senator who would serve the next six years in office. Being unsuccessful in getting his own party people to re-consider and have an election. He did the next best thing – decided to run for the office as a write-in candidate.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, the other living Senator Olin D. Johnson, made the remark in the hearing of a Washington news reporter, that it wouldn’t make much difference anyway since not that many people in SC knew how to read and write. That didn’t go over so well when repeated in the Palmetto State…. So when election time came around… history was made and the first write in candidate to be elected to the Senate was Senator Thurmond – who, set a record (since broken by Sen. Byrd of W. Va) as the longest-serving Senator. The rest is in the history books.

Back to New York… Ms “Dede” Scozzafava, who has served as a mayor in that area and has an 85% GOP liberal voting record in the New York Legislature, was tapped to run by the committee chairmen mentioned above. The reaction was immediate… Several prominent Republicans thought it a bad move… and several nationally known ones backed Ms. Scozzafava, as the party run operation did.

I won’t rehash all that’s gone on – but Newt Gingrich and Michael Steele backed the Party’s position – while Sarah Palin, Dick Army, Tim Pawlenty (MN Gov.) and Fred Thompson thought it was a lousy “politics as usual” deal which Ms. Palin had fought against strenuously in Alaska. Tuesday night will tell how many agree with her and her band of friends.

Some think the Tea Party – party (TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY) is a dangerous thing; others think it’s time for the GOP to do some serious re-inventing. [full disclosure – I’m in the latter group myself]. But I suppose we’ll see Tuesday if the GOP will turn back to its roots…. Or follow the “modern” group.

Stay tuned….

Cordially, IN HIM

JACK

PS – For any who wonder… the headline on today’s program is just Wm. Shakespeare showing off his writing skills as King Henry V encourages his troops before the battle of Harfleur. (I think – jeb)

“JUST A MINUTE”

ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH, DEAR FRIENDS…

Just A Minute – They say of New York’s 23^rd District -- “the last non Republican elected there “was a “Whig.”

Thus, Dede Scozzafava, with an 85 percent liberal record in New York’s Legislature – got the nod from ten GOP party chairmen to hold the seat. She was immediately endorsed, pro-forma, by ex-House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, and RNC chairman, Michael Steele.

Well that kicked the can for the Tax-Payer’s tea-party people: It galvanized Minnesota’s Gov. Tim Pawlenty; Mike Huckabee; Fred Thompson; Dick Army; and former Gov. Sarah Palin -- all fed up with “politics as usual.”

Their outcry opposing Ms. Scozzafava, who is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and an unquestioned liberal – caused her Saturday night to release her backers and abandon without endorsing anyone what was headed for an embarrassing third-party finish.

So there’ll be a LOT of pontificating Tuesday night as the TV news people try to explain what the New York, New Jersey and Virginia hot-shot elections reveal. Possibly even a crumbling Presidency now, or in 2012.

JUST HOW GREEN CAN WE GET -- Just A MInute Radio for Friday 10-30-0

Howdy… it really *is* Friday… and the last one like this until next October…

 

And so the seasons change and the little poems in the Old FARMER’S ALMANAC tell us it’s just about time to switch the clocks back on Standard time. How many can remember when we used to call it Eastern War Time?  I’m not sure but I think they ran on EWT all through WWII with the idea that it was better for production… and we sure needed that.  But I wonder if it really did help … or did we just think so because we had to get up in pitch blackness?

 

Who remembers Eben Eugene Rexford? – He’s a poet who wrote: “A day for dreams / By leaf-strewn streams.”

Sounds nice and quiet doesn’t it… and rather like Autumn. He’s better known for writing “Silver Threads Among the Gold” – in 1970 inducted into the Song Writer’s Hall of Fame… wrote with Ira Sankey, Homer Rodehaver, Billy Sunday and others… Born in New York State, died in Green Bay Wisconsin of Typhoid fever October 18, 1916 – things you might never know if you didn’t stay up with JUST A MINUTE… (J)

 

            You know there’s probably somebody in your book of friends who today would appreciate a call, or a visit or perhaps just a card telling them you’re thinking of them – remembering them, and if it’s appropriate for your friendship (it usually is) to tell them you pray for them.  We wouldn’t be having the atmosphere filled with hot-air and hate, if there was more of that kind of relationship going on.

 

            Well… gotta go – Have a great weekend… Be back with us on Monday,, Lord willing.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack.

“JUST A MINUTE”

JUST HOW GREEN CAN WE GET

          Just a Minute – John Fund, an astute conservative political pundit, who writes for the Wall St. Journal, poses a question from a pair of New Zealand professors who title their controversial book: Time to Eat the Dog?  They won a UN Global 500 Award for environmental achievement.  The book says the carbon dogprint for the typical canine is equivalent to two SUV’s being driven 6000 miles a year – mainly because of all the energy which goes in to raising meat for dog food.  (Maybe they never read the dog food labels to see how much bran and cereal end up in the feeding bowl.)

          Anyway, these two Victoria University professors, Robert and Brenda Vale, say owning two hamsters is as bad for the planet as owning a plasma TV.  They argue pet owners should swap dogs and cats for chickens or rabbits – which could be eaten and compensate for the impact of other things on our environment."

          My take is: apparently, not all the kooks live in the northern hemisphere.

A DOG'S LIFE AT THE WHITE HOUSE - Just a Minute Radio for Wednesday 10-28-09

G’day everybody…

 

They said it was going to be pretty wet… is that how it turned out at your house?  Seemed that way around here.

One of the first forecasts that’s been right in a spell.

           

Seems like we get fairly sated with heavy news for a while and have to have something lighter… like the Presidential puppy having a birthday party in the rose garden. Well at least it’s interesting to hear something other than Nancy Pelosi or Senator Searchlight Harry giving the latest score on Health Care reform to the point where people say they don’t care any more… only come next tax season they’ll wish they’d paid more attention and spoken upittle more forcibly.

 

Well… we let them rush us into it… now comes the time for leisurely repentance – as we pitch our tents in the parks… and ride a moped because that’s all the gasoline we can afford.  It ain’t that bad yet… but it shore can become that bad – Those are the words I pick up floating across the fish dock at the Bait Shop and Sushi Bar.

 

Homer’s worried the White House may cut off popular netsites or weblogs in order to reduce broadband use so emergency nets can carry traffic. I’m afraid I can foresee it coming to the time ham radio operators may have to set up their own networks in order to maintain communications. And if the government gets real sticky about it – things border on the cusp of pirate or illegal (read that as unregulated) operations. Certainly those are not pleasant things to contemplate.  In most papers you read an occasional story of the spike in gun and ammunition sales all across the U.S.  Will they become the next site for ‘official shortages’ and restricted supplies?

 

Got to get to some other chores. Hope you have a good day and evening… We’ll talk more on Friday (DV)

 

Cordially, IN HIM

HOLD ON THAR QUICK DRAW ! -- Just A Minute Radio for Monday October 26, 2009

Good Day… it’s Monday… and we’re starting off fine…

 

We started off the promo this morning reminding people (of a certain age) of the ‘olden’ days of Radio… [some think of it as the Golden Days … I guess that includes me. I grew up with Jack Armstrong the All American Boy… and the Lone Ranger… and Terry and the Pirates… Oh… I’m sorry… fell off into the nostalgia pond again. Sorry about that.

 

Anyway … the headline this morning came from a TV cartoon… but our boys were quite small when “Quick Draw McGraw – and Deputy Dawg” were high entertainment on Mr. Monty’s “Lil’Rascals “ local  black and white TV program… at least I think that’s where they were… I know it wasn’t silent black and white… But life was quite a bit simpler… and we were quite a bit younger.  

 

“The Breakfast Club”… I think you can still find clips on the Internet from a couple of seasons when they tried to make it go on TV… but the things that “worked well” on radio… well… they were just too tame for the big eye box… and so things progressed. --- Or did they? I’m glad Mr. Rogers came along… and Mr. Green Jeans with Capt. Kangaroo… but for the most part … well.  As you can surmise… I don’t see a lot of TV entertainment…mainly because there isn’t much as far as I can tell.  But… we’re on the radio… and that’s where I’m happy. I think it’s good for the nation too… that we have that medium available… Otherwise… We’d probably have to go back to Boston Harbor and stage a tea-party on our own… and that would be a lot harder. (L)…

 

We of a “certain age” will just have to content ourselves with reading Beatrix Potter’s tales of Peter Rabbit and the Gardner… and simple things like that. Although I believe reading to the kids… especially the little ones --  is one of the most rejuvenating things we ‘seniors’ can do… It’s just tough to get the world to slow down enough so I can get on without breaking an ankle.  

 

Have a great Monday everybody… If we look to the Lord… everything’s going to come out right. If we don’t… it won’t! There’s something like 7000 or so years of recorded history to back that up. (J) You can check it out… You have one of those books around… it may have some dust on it if nobody’s touched it lately.  Good idea to check it out.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

HOLD ON THAR ‘QUICK DRAW’!

          Just a Minute: Sarah Palin, joined the upstate New York fray on Thursday by doing what Newt Gingrich was afraid to do – Endorse Conservative Doug Hoffman over Republican Dede Scozzafava in a special election for New  York’s 23^rd Congressional District.      

          Old line Republicans had largely lined up behind Republican Dede Scozzafava, despite the fact her voting record as a state legislator put her well to the left most Democrats there. Others who joined Ms. Palin are former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, Fred Thompson, and Rep. Michelle Bachman of Minnesota, all backing Conservative Doug Hoffman.

          The former Alaska Governor – running mate to John McCain – pointed out Ms. Scozzafava was selected by county chairmen and not by a primary vote.  She wrote to her Facebook supporters when she announced her decision: "Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate [who] … blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican … [that’s] why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party's ticket."

          Way to go Sarah… keep it up.!

AND... uh... IN *MY* OPINION...uh -- *I* THINK......UH, IT'S ... Just A Minute for Friday, October 23rd 2009

            Hello there… welcome to FRIDAY:

 

            It’s been a fascinating week. The war(s) go on in Iraq, Afghanistan, and FOX NEWS! The latter one, some suspect, is a make-big-smoke-and-noise exercise to steal away attention from the so-called ‘health care REFORM’ debate.

 

            Not much of a debate when they won’t let any news people, Republicans or anyone likely to know what’s going on in there with them – despite the President’s promise for this to be the most ‘transparent’ Administration in history.  [Perhaps no one at Harvard ever explained what ‘transparent’ meant?]

 

            In any case, it’s becoming apparent to even casual observers that attacking a smaller entity (as in US Govt. vs. FOX News… or teabaggers…) or any *smaller*entity -- makes on be perceived to be themselves smaller… and stirs empathy for the one attacked. You learned that at recess on the school ground in first grade.

 

            Charles Krauthammer, pointed out in yesterday’s column how *unsuccessful* was the White House attempt to get the rest of the press corps there to join in an effort to freeze out the Fox Correspondent to a staged briefing on health care finances. Here’s part of what Krauthammer wrote:

 “On Thursday, the administration tried to make them complicit in an actual boycott of Fox. The Treasury Department made available Ken Feinberg, the executive pay czar, for interviews with the White House "pool" news organizations — except Fox. The other networks admirably refused, saying they would not interview Feinberg unless Fox was permitted to as well. The administration backed down.”

 

There’s an inexorable rule in DC – “What goes around comes around…” – and when it comes around it usually bites with a vengeance – where it hurts! Mr. Obama and his advisors have not yet made it fully through that initiation -- yet – but give it time.

 

No sense in spoiling your weekend. We’ve already had a great time visiting with part of the family we’ve not seen in a while.  You do something like that too… it’s refreshing… the world’s still turning. God is still on the throne.  Amen!

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

AND… UH… IN *MY* OPINION…UH -- *I* THINK… UH IT’S …

Just A Minute – Some press aides believe *they* are ordained to occupy center stage – not fathoming their job is just to deliver the essence of what The President thinks.  That’s it!  -- Bob Gibbs, has used up more Ah’s and Uh’s than he’s allowed in four years not nine months.

Thursday, Gibbs, slammed former Vice President, Dick Cheney, for a “failed policy” on Afghanistan.  It was a day after Cheney said the Administration was “dithering” on a troop surge.  Gibbs called Cheney’s comments ‘curious’ –fired his cap pistol – and blamed the Bush Administration.            Cheney calls it dithering, President Obama claimed it’s his solemn responsibility.  Gibbs said: "I think we've...” – HOLD IT !

Who cares what Bob Gibbs thinks about Dick Cheney?  Gibbs pauses on the lip of every third word figuring out what he thinks.  How refreshing it would be to hear Dragnet’s Jack Webb, saying: “Just the facts, Mister.”

FAKE NEWS CONFERENCE AT NPC -- Just A Minute Radio for Wednesday October, 21, 2009

Hello in the middle of the week – hump day!!

 

The hand grenades are flying over the walls at the White House as the Administration digs in to fight its own personal war with Fox News.

 

So far the President has been “studying” what to do in Afghanistan, where he’s already sent his personally picked General McChrystal, but left him hanging waiting while the President professes not to be ‘hurried’ while his troops await his orders and reinforcements.  What’s so confusing he said back in March and reiterated in August that *he* was installing a new strategy in Afghanistan where the war began in 2001.

 

With the new strategy thus in place for 53 days he leaves everyone twiddling their thumbs in harms way while he attends fund-raisers, rambles off to Copenhagen to unsuccessfully bring the Olympics back to his home base of Chicago, has a quickie trip hither and yon to speak to school children and do things that profess to be high priority, and carries on a verbal chastisement with Humana and all the insurance companies on his must-do, government supported health reform option.  Talk about lack of focus – he appears to be trying to stuff film in his digital camera.

 

President Obama is rather well known for calling attention to his association with Abraham Lincoln – in fact the State in which he entered politics – Illinois – is known as the “land of Lincoln.” So to sum up I’ll use one of ‘Honest Abe’s’ quotations: You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

 

Cordially, IN HIM
