President Obstructing Implementation of His Signature Legislation; Film at 11

Calm in any Crisis

Honestly, there is so much going on the past couple of days, it’s hard to keep up.   But I am having a blast watching all of the people who rubbed our noses in their arrogance 4 years ago finally having a “Come to Jesus” awakening.

Meanwhile, the president just sits in the middle of everything, completely unaware of the chaos which he himself is responsible for, wondering why things aren’t going the way he expected them to, and insisting that everyone else “fix it” for him – even though this entire debacle is completely unfixable.

It sure is fun watching the rats deserting the ship…..

On Jonathan’s Birthday – “Autumn Leaves”

.
Today would have been my friend Becky’s oldest son’s 31st birthday.  Jonathan left us much too soon (a car accident in 2001), but he left lots of great memories behind for those who loved him best.

One of the things that his family ran across while looking for things to include in his memorial service was a poem that he had written in one of his classes about a leaf falling to the ground.  It gave them great comfort, and ever since then whenever Autumn rolls around I like to think that Jonathan is surrounding everyone who knew and loved him with his presence.

Every time I hear this song, I think about Jonathan and his family:

“When October Goes”

October Leaves.
Just ask my family – I’m one of the original “Fanilows“, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.  I’ve been hooked ever since I heard “Mandy” on the radio in 1974 (what can I say?  Other girls my age went gaga for Donny Osmond – Barry’s always been “my” guy).

When October Goes” is one of my absolute favorite Barry Manilow songs.  I first heard  this song on his amazing “2:00 A.M. Paradise Cafe” album*** – I managed to wear out the cassette tape from rewinding it to hear this song over and over and over…..

Have a great day –

***”When October Goes” is available in CD and MP3 formats – there are lots of good songs on the album (including duets with Sarah Vaughan and the “Velvet Fog”, Mel Torme).

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween – it’s the only night of the year when you are allowed to wear a costume without being in a play:

I’ll be rocking this “Maleficent” costume tonight…

Howard Dean (D) Admits That “Single-Payer” Is Never Going to Work

.
Now, mind you, that isn’t what he MEANT to say, but in this interview on today’s “Morning Joe“, that is EXACTLY what he said – without realizing it:

.
.

“First off all, in fairness, you have to blame Republicans for some of this because they delayed everything they possibly could, threw as many monkey wrenches into the process as they could…..”

“Partly, I have to say, they [the Federal Government] had to do that because the Republican governors refused to accept exchanges….”

What Mr. Dean fails to acknowledge here is that the Republican governors of those states did exactly what the Obamacare legislation allows them to do.

These states didn’t “refuse to accept exchanges”, they merely chose not to accept a bribe money from the Federal Government to set up their own individual state exchanges.  They decided to put the onus of responsibility on the Federal Government to set up these exchanges – which is their right, according to the law.

Happy Birthday, Rachel!

.
It was 27 years ago today that our lives changed in the space of an instant. One second we were a couple, and the next we were a family. It still never ceases to amaze me how seamlessly that transition occurred, and how it felt like things had always been that way.

Redistribution, Veterans’ Style

Love, love, LOVE this picture of a veteran who decided to take one of the Barrycades and deposit it at the White House:

I’m sure the IRS will be showing up on his doorstep any day now…..

Something Beautiful – “Per Te”

I’ve loved this song since the first time that I heard it; Josh Groban has such an amazing voice, and “Per Te” (from his multi-platiunum album “Closer“)  is just an amazing song – the soaring violins, piano accompaniment, and tympani undertones just stir my soul:

Oh my gosh….
