"With apologies to the late Rod Serling and Gilda (Emily Latella) Radner."
*Edit: I met Rod Serling in 1972, when I served him and the students in his seminar, at an Italian Restaurant(Gino's) in Gainseville, Florida. He asked me out for a drink afrerwards but I couldn't go.. I was married at the time.
Just a little personal anecdote starring Rod Serling!

(297,240 posts)Did you read the Edited part of the OP? That I actually met Rod Serling? I've thought throughout my life that it was only appropriate since I've never been a stranger to the {{{{{{{{{{{{{Twilight Zone}}}}}}}}}}}}}
"Narrator: There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."

A few days ago, television personality Bill Maher was musing about the idea of Texas teabagger Ted Cruz running for president. Maher is certain that it's inevitable, pointing out that Cruz has "Newt Gingrich's ambition and ego mixed with the steely-eyed focus of a serial killer." Good description! And he added that Cruz has been "totally unwilling to compromise with liberals on anything, including eating with a knife and fork." NY Times political reporter Jonathan Weisman, might agree, but he takes Cruz more seriously and honed in on how he and a few other Tea Party Senate freshmen are gumming up the works in that body and forcing people concerned with the smooth function of government to confront deranged right-wing ideological nihilism that veers frighteningly close to outright fascism. And this is all inside the Senate GOP caucus!

Okay, that picture scares me. Yet it works in the twilight zone. Key in music here.
LOL, I love hearing your Rod stories Cha!

(297,240 posts)We got a bit in practice with sociopaths running for president with mitt.. it seems they keep getting worse and worse.. no kidding!
Thanks for the link, she.. Rubio has "respect" for nothing except the Koch brothers who run his strings.
I have tremendous respect for this institution, Mr. Rubio said in an interview on Friday. But Im not all that interested in the way things have always been done around here.
Another snip from your link..
"Mr. McCain called the demands of his Republican colleagues absolutely out of line and unprecedented. The Senate passed the budget before dawn on March 23 after a grueling all-night session, he noted, saying it was time to try to reach a final deal with the House in a negotiating conference."
That McCain is the sensible one.. blows me away. Because I remember times when he was Not so sensible.
That is one scary pic.. and perfect, imv that some creative person wove Rod into it and then a "Nevermind.." from Gilda!
lol.. those closer than 6 degrees .
Rod stories are about it she.. unfortunately..
Lol
