Paybacks sure are hell.

The American people elected them to office, our Country will reap what they sowed.

Gore said as much when he said, the people vote against their own self interest.

Our country could be likened to a grape vine, through the electoral process we tend to the vine to produce good fruit, The American people tended the vine and got exactly what it wanted

Bad Fruitage. Bitter wine
or is it we whine bitterly

The American people reaped what it sowed, or didn't prune

St. Paul carried a lot of venom for the wealthy. The wealthy imprisoned him, mocked him, and routinely impeded his evangelicism. Yet he wrote, preached, and cultivated a rebel spiritual movement that eventually overtook the Roman Empire.

At the same time, his spiritual movement begot the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, the Medicis, and a host of other atrocities.

So he too reaped what he has sewn.

I know that most of us--hell, all of us want instant karma. I have imagined Rush being held accountable, taken off the air, shunned, and ridiculed.

But I yield.

The reason is that Rush is simply a sellout. What he says is the voice of his paymasters. The only freedom he has is to add the texture of his neurosis on the corporate agenda. A long time ago, he saw that the path to success was paved with the intention to fuck over his fellow man. So long as he is able to make the corporate interest his audience's interest, he will rake in the cash. All the dittos he has ever receives are hollow, because he is a hurdy gurdy monkey. And he will go to his early grave having already savored the joy of having sold his soul.

Thus he lives the life of a pretan.

As usual, Dickon, you give me a lot to think about.

First and foremost, is it sew or sow?

Secondly, I'm shocked Rush has a cat.

Some say Men are like Mars, Women Like Venus. Me, I've always thought Men are like Dogs, Women like Cats.

I can see Rush with a dog. Except he'd probably hire someone to walk it.

I can't see him with a cat, but based on your quote, I can totally sympathize with his cat. I'd take the food and run too, if I was the cat.

I myself adore men. I get along better with them than I do other women, for the most part. Women can sometimes be too moody, catty, persnickety, and downright territorial.

Men strike me as being more open and jolly and willing to talk about general things like sports and beer.

Am I generalizing? You betcha! And also!

But then, so is 95% of America lately.

Which may be our problem.

And does anyone think that Univision is going to give President Obama a pass?

I'll be surprised (and maybe a big disappointed) if Univision, with its enormous Mexican-American audience, forgets to ask the President why it's so important to exclude illegal immigrants from potentially life-saving healthcare coverage.

We've just read of the recent study suggesting that 45,000 of us die every year because of the lack of insurance. Tha nummber is very likely to include one or more thousand of those illegals. Penalties already exist for immigration law violations, but Univision might want to know why it's necessary to add the death penalty.

Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles Lyrics by The Fall Of Troy,

All this time alone
I cannot go home
Artificial friend,
you reap what you sow!

You said
It was a little of something else.
I hope
that you lose it all.
Cause you were the one
That made me feel better
In such a fucked up bitter way.
I don't understand what you say.

All this time you've known
Such condescending tone
Taste the tears of men
Did it make you feel better than?

You said
It was a little of something else.
I hope
that you lose it all.
Cause you were the one
That made me feel better
In such a fucked up bitter way.
I don't understand what you say.

"Chrissy" hahahahahahaaha, god that makes me laugh, I like that one!

Anybody else get a profoundly creepy feeling reading about Rush discussing the state of "man-boy education"?

Well, i read the Rev. stuart hannold's clumn, and yeas, he is quoting the galatians 6: 7-9. He gets that it a trick of the devil to wear us down, so we give up. He warns that what we sow should be spiritual, not fleshy. Good point. He says that he and his wife have been ministering and praying and healing for the past 16 years, wanting the Lord to come down and manifest in healing and transformation. It is unclear if this is the first time, but he says the story will knock our socks off.
The Lord told him to go to an appeal hearing for a guy in the jail (he is also the jail chaplain, besides being the chamber of commerce guy). He says the guy had been sentenced to twenty years (not for what crime), and has served three years. The guy is now on fire for Jesus, and when he (Stuart) was speaking, something happened, and God came down and started doing the talking. He reports that the Judge, the other inmates, the guards, everyone in the court room started weeping. (He didn't mention the attorneys.) Everyone could feel the Lord's presence in that room. The judge said that the man had served enough time, and she would see about probation for him.
Now that is Stuart's "Reap in due season if you don't give up" story. It knocked my socks off, but i would love to be able to talk to people who were in the room.
The only female judge i know is a district court judge, she is great, but i'm having a hard time picturing her weeping. We were in her court many times with our daughter, and i can say she was empathetic, but while i cried sometimes, she didn't. Now i'm not trying to say my tears had anything to do with grace or transformation, i'm just saying it's hard to picture.
So. Whaddya think, dick?

I was wondering how you think about this. I try not to "ridicule," lie i accidentally did to Resistance. (Hopefully it was accidental...)I wish i had time for a blog; i have too many ideas, not enough time.
Can you fathom an entire courtroom weeping like that? I try, but fail. I am perhaps too cynical. Or too something? You are more experienced with the courtroom, and maybe god than I.
