Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

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."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

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

Who Killed Susan Lucci?

A treatise from Bob. It seems that the soap opera is a dying creature. Seems that the unions are destroying a former staple of daytime TV. Never did like them but some had some drop dead gorgeous babes on them. Thank the Almighty for a mute button!
But the link is to The Camp of The Saints and Bob's take. Good Read. Really Good Read.

From Stormbringer: THE BIN LADEN HIT

Sean has a dandy post up on the action of Sunday in the suburb of Islamabad. The name of the Paki Capital is disgusting to the ear!
And these bags of shit in Pakistan are supposed to be our allies(my take only)?

ibTHE BIN LADEN HIT/b/i

From Fredd: Pakistan harbored bin laden for 6 years

Straight from Fredd Spews.
Good post from a really smart guy!
And the Pakis are our allies? Got to rethink that one.

NLRB plays fast and loose in Boeing case

Link is to the Washington Examiner.
Seems that a Boeing VP and general counsel, Michael Luttig could cause fits in this. I should imagine Patty "Sneakers" Murray is not pleased. To damn bad. The unions may be pushing a bit too far on this one.
But read for yourself, folks, and make up your own mind.
