I'm Having a Ball
There was once a little ball.
It was round.
It fell on the ground.
And then it had water and dirt on it.
Things began to grow on it.
Things grew and grew...and just kept growing.
Some of those things thought they had brains...without really knowing what brains could do.
Other things on the ball felt that they should not have brains at all.
So they fought.
Until one day, everyone realized that they were just dirt on a ball.
And they stopped worrying about what kind of dirt they were, and started worrying about the ball.
They enabled their selves to jump up in sequence, and the ball bounced.
It bounced so many times that the dirt was thrown off, and nothing was left but the good things.
And the good things cheered, and embraced the ball, and loved the ball, and called it home.
The End.

Check out Bob Herbert's piece today. I think he doubts that half of the dirt will "enable them selves to jump up in sequence"...

The facts surounding us leaves me feeling like dirt.

I don't blame Bob Herbert one damn bit for what he wrote.
He wrote about things that were said by other people.
The little ball that became the world knows how to brush the dirt off it's round shoulders.
Which was my point.

I know, LisB, I'm with you. I was trying to say that Bob sees the Clintons as completely and totally unwilling and unable to do what's best for Democrats.
Wednesday morning I thought we were going to get a detente from Billary, and instead we got one of the worst backstabs in the history of the Party. At least 2 more weeks of hell, maybe more. It's just brutal... Tragedy.
