Is he going for a perfect three?<br /><br />This reminds me of L'il Abner and Dogpatch in the bosom of Arkansas.

It's bizarre when they are bigger than me & their voices are changing.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-45125844995795406242013-10-31T19:20:45.298-05:002013-10-31T19:20:45.298-05:00"All things in moderation" - Aristotle
...<br />"All things in moderation" - Aristotle<br /><br />Our world seems to be more extreme than it used to be. Certainly our politics is that way. We are beset by ideologues who no longer have to think about and plan the future. Instead they quote little phrases written by others, often others who we never see or meet or hear.<br /><br />There is little constructive discussion, little compromise, little progress.<br /><br />Instead we seem to drift down a river at an increasing speed, unaware of where the rapids may be located, or a sudden sharp and dangerous drop.<br /><br />We appear to be disconnected from our world, surviving but no longer participating.<br /><br />Unless we participate we have no right to complain or to criticize those who now dominate the airwaves, and tell us how to live our lives and what that will cost.<br /><br />It's time to wake up and become moderates once again, to reconnect and take back control from those who have seized it.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-88361328929893774722013-10-31T19:03:20.952-05:002013-10-31T19:03:20.952-05:0018:42, I thought the Grinch was associated with Ch...18:42, I thought the Grinch was associated with Christmas?Not Hallowe'ennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-57814143640434384672013-10-31T18:42:05.132-05:002013-10-31T18:42:05.132-05:00 I think that anyone, Mayor or not, who thinks th...
