Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Olby, rest your oars.
Why? He’s never had both of ‘em in the water in the first place.
Olby, rest your oars.
Before someone takes one and thwacks you with it. Unless somebody has their way with Phil Griffin, Olbie-wan has a Rabbi in his corner…which sucks for us…except that I refuse to watch MSNBC…not even on a bet.
Oh,*I* do,Mongo,if only to be present on the day when Olby either a) starts actually, physically, foaming at the mouth or b) strokes out on-set.
You’re a better man than I am. Wow. I cringe at the thought of even hearing his voice.
Olby is fun, Mongo, he can’t hurt me. I reserve the mute button for pure, unalloyed evil–like Obama–saves me money on TVs.
While that would be fun to watch, the price you have to pay in the mean time is unspeakable. Far worse than a trip to the Vet.
I can testify that I instantly switch channels when Olby or that Rachel are on. I preferred it in the old days when you could not really tell how a “journalist” leaned on a story. But then again I was younger and didn’t know any better.
On a better note – It’s 73 degrees right here, right now in Wisconsin – Whoo Hoo!
It was almost 80 in Cherokee when I left the office. Frost on the car windows this morning.
Channel 3 out of Madison says a rainy weekend, though.. That’s alright, we sure could use it, it’s awfully dry out.
