Happy Hour

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

20 Really Bad Ideas That Are Almost Too Stupid To Believe

This one is from The American Dream.
The narrative prep is as follows......
The twenty Really Bad Ideas are at the link at the bottom........

What in the world is happening to America?  It seems like all we get out of politicians at the federal, state and local levels is a steady stream of really bad ideas.  Even when our government officials appear to have the best of intentions things still turn out badly.  "What were they thinking" is a phrase that is being uttered by millions of Americans on a daily basis.  Sadly, instead of focusing on real problems and real solutions, the mainstream media loves to focus on the latest scandal.  Last month everyone wanted to talk about Anthony Weiner.  This month everyone wants to talk about Casey Anthony.  Next month it will be somebody else.  There is a never ending stream of scandals for the mainstream media to latch on to, but what is America going to look like if we do not start addressing our real problems?  The United States has become a cesspool of corruption, greed, debt and depravity.  Everywhere you look there are signs of decline, and yet all our leaders come up with are more really bad ideas.  Time is running out on this nation, and with each passing day there seems to be fewer reasons to be optimistic about the future.
Most Americans that are actively engaged in politics believe that either the Democrats or the Republicans are the answer.  But sadly, that is just not the case.  When the Republicans have been in power they have been a total mess.  When the Democrats have been in power they have been a complete train wreck.  Both political parties have lied to us and have deceived us over and over.  The mainstream media would have us believe that George W. Bush and Barack Obama are from "opposite ends of the political spectrum", but when you closely examine the policies that they have implemented they are almost identical.
No matter who we vote into office we always seem to get the same results.
It is almost as if this nation is under some sort of a curse.
Sadly, our leaders only seem to get stupider and stupider.
The following are 20 really bad ideas that are almost too stupid to believe....
I leave the final judgement up to the reader.........I didn't write this one but wish I had, OK?
