Faithful readers of this site, I believe there are two of you, may recall that I recently got a New York shopping bag at my neighborhood Trader Joe’s:
Not until this morning did I happen to look at the bag’s bottom:
I am so sad that I cannot go back to NYC this year with my dear friend Jim for his annual pilgrimage. Certain other obligations take precedence, I am sorry to report. I think I will have a good bagel with a shmear this morning though.
So, two Corinthians, three Thessalonians, and some Colossians walked into a bar and saw Sarah Palin and her BFF canoodling in a booth. The first Corinthian said, “Our god can trump that!”
Somebody posted this:
It’s really a wonderful outfit, but how can you do anything in it?
Bright colors generally show up on my feet, and, rather than impede my activities, they specifically facilitate them, rain or shine.
It’s a good thing to do on a rainy January afternoon.
And these ones don’t fly away when I try to take their pictures:
Silly birther issue: Is Ted Cruz eligible to run for president? Absolutely. He was born the child of an American citizen. Will raising this issue damage his campaign. Absolutely. Of course, whatever diminishes his chances is okay by me.
This question first raised its head when Barry Goldwater ran for president in 1964. He was born in Arizona when it was a U.S. territory, as was his father. (Think Puerto Rico.)
“Nationals” of U.S. territories cannot be president or even vote in presidential elections. Barry Goldwater was eligible because his mother, Hattie Josephine Williams Goldwater, was born in Illinois. And because she was Episcopalian and raised her son as such (always an advantage), his father’s being Jewish was not mentioned, at a time when this point too could have been raised.
Didn’t hurt that he was a “Marlboro Man.”
Being a handsome cowboy didn’t hurt this guy either:
In presidential campaigns, things that shouldn’t matter do. It helps to be handsome and hurts to not be.
Of course, LBJ was elected anyway. He was a cowboy. Handsome, not so much.
Personally, I love the way Bernie looks.
And don’t like the way Hillary looks.
I plan to focus on what should matter.
