Bo Zarts's JournalA bit of Yeats for the House GOPers:
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
THE SECOND COMING
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Route 66 Photo Essay (I'm in Gallup, NM, tonight - BIG FILES)
Don't eat no road kill at the Roadkill 66 Cafe
Burma Shave hell:
"Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme .."
The BNSF (Burlington Northern - Santa Fe RR) bulls (cops) tag-teamed me for over 50 miles after I took these pics. I was doing many 180s on 66 to get back to certain photo ops (NOT RR THOUGH!).
Might go to Santa Fe , tomorrow. Big Porsche 356 meet there!
U.S. Presidential Line of Succession: #1 - VP Joe Biden (D-Sanity)
#2 - John Boehner (R-Drunk) He raves, he caves .. He drinks, he stinks .. He cries, he lies .. And he is #2 in the line of succession to the Presidency.
Good Lawd! Toyota of Bend (OR) has The Ed Show on waiting room TV!
Never seen MSNBC on in an auto dealership. People are watching it, too.
Bwaa Haa Haa Haa! Nobody's claiming to be a Repub this morning.
They are all "Libertarians."
Done deal. I am now officially an ex-1039-TEMP at USDA/USFS.
Not their fault. Not my President's fault. Not the fault of the US Senate. Certainly not MY fault.
I'll be posting a whole lot more on this as I digest my bitterness. I try to keep "hate" out of my repertoire, but mercy, mercy, mercy! Turn my cheek to the Tea Party? I think not.
