Stop.

Take a breath.  That's it ... there you go.  It's all right, you'll be okay.  Ahh, I know.  But do you have an idea of what else I know?  Relax for a moment and I'll tell you all about it.  Now that you've stopped, you really do have the time to listen.

Can you hear me?  I'm letting my thoughts flow into your mind, accepting yours in return.  What a magical, mystical tour we're on.  Yes, it makes me laugh, too.  Even as I cry to understand your needs, even as I anguish over all of your wants.  We're hand in hand and heart to heart.  Wait.  Please wait.

Where did you go?  Did I frighten you?  I'm sorry, perhaps it's too much all at once - maybe you're overwhelmed.  The feeling is often mutual, as all things are.  Let's both look at the sky while we contemplate the ground beneath our feet.  Such an odd way to consider what we have never truly believed.  The in-between is hugely infinitesimal while at the same time it waits for us to gather steam.  Building ... growing.

Can you hear me?  I really don't know anymore.  I still feel you, I'm still listening.  The volume is fading but the spirit is breathing.  Perhaps that's what I hear ... the silent resurgence of your soul.     

A police chief in Wisconsin had an affair with a reporter.  They were both married, and got caught.  Oops.

What caught my attention is not that two people committed adultery.  Yawn.  It's the fact that in Wisconsin, adultery is a felony.  Punishable by ten thousand dollars and/or up to three years in prison.  There are already people pushing for the chief to be charged, along with the various ethics complaints.  I haven't heard the same regarding the female reporter, although what's good for the gander is good for the goose?

A felony?  Good thing that's not a law on the books in DC or elsewhere .... talk about prison overcrowding.  Of course, it might be one way to get marijuana legalized - we'd need the beds.

Excuse me?  I read M.J. Rosenberg's post and comments, hit "refresh" to view possible additional responses and ... this.  Mildly amused at the obvious error, I went back to the TPMCafe page only to find that the entire blog was gone.  How rude.  It was not a popular post, but does that mean that those that took the time to submit their opinions don't matter?

Unless this is a problem of which I am unaware, and Mr. Rosenberg was powerless to prevent it - I will not waste my time reading another of his blogs.
