Local Precinct Pic

This is a picture of the Republican tent outside my precinct  (Earlysville Volunteer Fire Company).  I hadn't notice until one of "our" Dem voters pointed it out, but there's no electioneering signs for either Ken (Kenny The Kooch) Cuccinelli or for Mark (The Dark Legacy) Obenshain.


I have to wonder if there's any kind of statement being made here when 2 out of your 3 top guys aren't represented(?)  And how is it that you leave out Cuccinelli and Obenshain, but you're OK with a freak like Jackson?

Politics is weird, man.

Today's Entrepreneurial Inspiration

Cuz we need to wake up and recognize that with a little hard work and American know-how (and a coupla billion tax dollars), an elementary school can be just as safe as any other combat zone.



They piss on our heads; they tell us it's raining; and then they sell us umbrellas.

No soul and no honor.

Cloudy Tonight

Brighter Days --Loggins & Messina



I've seen brighter
I've known brighter days
Lying alone in the shade
(Of a manzanita)

It's been sweeter
Bitter sweeter days
I know it's not for always
But all I can say is
I've seen better days

Is summer gone
Has it been that long
I guess that's what seasons will bring
I'm caught again
in the Autumn wind
But I remember spring

For I've seen brighter days
Seen lighter places to stay
along my way
Oh, I've seen brighter days

I've seen warmer
soft and warmer nights
Lying with love by my side
(in the Sycamores)
There've been finer, yeah
I've seen mighty finer nights
Knowing what's wrong or what's right
It just don't matter
when you're in warmer nights

But here I am
Like a sea blown wind
under my thunder and rain
I'll ride the waves
'Til the sunny day
comes to me again

Oh, I've seen brighter days
Seen lighter places to stay
along my way
Oh, I've seen brighter days

Wild Horses

Wild Horses --Stones



Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or off stage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday
