The man...The symbol...(sighh....)

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. F. Scott Fitzgerald</span>

Now, I ain’t layin’ claim to being a top-drawer, first-rate thinker like Ol F. Scott was....I hold to the theory that the ability to quote is a servicable substiture for wit....and I gotta confess that I didn’t think that one up either....I do know that it’s pretty easy to ‘google up' lots of quotes......
Now, I was recently accused (?) of being a ‘George Bush’ apologist..
T’ain’t true....
1. George Bush is more than capable of defending hisownself, he don’t need me t’do it for him...
2. I don’t p’tickly like Bush, but I don’t hate him. I think the people who go apoplectic at the mention of his name are just sad. You c’n blame George, but he ain’t responsible for all the things that go wrong in your personal life...
“Now I can talk these words that sound so sweet
I can make your little heart even skip a beat...”
Now, for all those who are caught up in the change mantra that Obama has been spouting like a broken record. He keeps saying, “time for a change” but he don’t ever say what he wants to change....well, except to take Bush out and put him in.....
“I’m the one, I'm the one,
the one they call the seventh son...”
’Course, Bush is gonna be out anyway. Voting for Obama c’d be like diving headfirst into a murky pool without knowing how deep it is....leaping from the frying pan into the flames constitutes change, but it ain’t necessarily a good thing......Obama sez, he’s the symbol the world has been waiting for, and that we shouldn’t pay any attention to that ‘rock star’ celebrity nonsense that McCain has been spouting.....they’re just trying to make us afraid of him ‘cause he’s got a funny name ‘n don’t look like all those pictures of whitey on all the US money...but he ain’t playin’ the race card....everyone knows that only white people c’n be racist.....
“Well I can tell your future before it comes to pass
And I can do things for you that make your heart feel glad
Look at the skies and predict the rain...”
And you recall that ‘summer gas tax holiday that McCain was talking about...Obama told you that it wouldn’t do any good but after he's elected, he's gonna give everybody a $1,000.00 rebate just to ease their pain. Not to buy their vote....no, no, that ain't the American way 'n don’t be callin’ him Robin Obama, just ‘cause he wants to tax the rich ‘n give to the decent, hard working American people that deserve what they’re gonna get from a Democrat President and Congress. I ain't sure but I think that's called Karma.......
“Well now everybody cryin' 'bout the seventh son
But in the whole round world there is only one, and
I'm the one...”
