From TWSJ print edition on 7/21/09

"Census Bureau data released Monday show the extent to which strong minority-voter turnout in the 2008 election helped President Barack Obama win over swing states and make inroads into Republican strongholds.

About five million more people voted for president in November than four years earlier, with minorities accounting for almost the entire increase. About two million more black and Hispanic voters and 600,000 additional Asians went to the polls."

Birch - we all have our favorites....

I think the BEST LINE so far was 'There aren't enough gays, blacks, and college professors to get Obama elected'

I've got to hand it to you - that one has crossed my mind more than all the others put together and I usually get a good laugh. OMG you're something else man....

You get the prize for that one !!

Sugar, I spent a huge bulk of my vacation dwelling and pondering on this:

"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him [or Her] to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."

--Max Ehrmann c.1920

I fear I've chased you off because I'm too eager to talk and say a lot of things you don't need to hear. So I'll try to step back and just let you be and say whatever.

Anyway - the more I dwelled on this the more I realize what I want and need and all the more I realize how equally important it is to step back more often and let others find what they want and need. Sorry about jumping in too quickly.

Moved to the F so I can avoid the latest disaster to drag the market down for the next couple of days.

Sugar,

Why continue this dragon bones reading psychic act? You have no market savvy, can't read a finance page or a Healthy Choice meal box for that matter, and the only statements you read are the ones you have to sign after making them to the police. Sugar, it really means it when it says "avoid driving after taking these." Drop the act!!

You will pay in hell for that.

Sugar,
If there is no heaven then there is no hell.
Payment denied. Now, get back to your 3rd large sized bucket of mashed potatoes and gravy that the colonel made you.

Hi Sugar

Hey -- don't feel bad about my last title

I'm bound to come up with a few that may 'stump you' but somehow I think that would be next to impossible.

Well anyway -- have come up with other thoughts so come on over and we'll continue the dance -- or dude it out --- or whatever we're doing.

Sugar,
Everytime this song by 'Men without Hats' comes on the radio I picture you doing the 'robot' moves..

and a bunch of older folks following your lead...

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y
Safe, dance!

[Spoken]
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance

[Sung]
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
Danc¨¦e!

We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

[Refrain]
I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody takin' the cha-a-a-ance

Safety dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y
Safe, dance!

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

[Refrain]

Is it safe to dance, oh is it safe to dance [6x]
Is it safe to dance
