"Hit 'em"

This is turning into a hockey game.

(Low scoring too...)

"The day after the attack, I stood, in the Rose Garden..."

There's something very naively poetic about the country still standing in roses, responding to a terror attack in 2012.

Only in America, eh?

Candy, Candy, my sweet: Think substance, not style.

When we're getting into the good stuff, the details, the accusations of this one or that -- "Let Them Play." *

You're not just a clockkeeper. Use some judgment on when it's time to move on, and when the format is working? This is what we come for. Substance, or what little there is here. Don't clear the plates while the meat and potatoes remain?

*(let them play, let them play...) Name that movie? ("We're not finished. The game isn't OVER yet..." Hint: It was the Tanner Boyle character in the end who refused to surrender the field. Bells ringing?)

Of course, the real story is even more touching than the make-believe, as is true in real life if you're living it right.

"Before they have babies, they ought to think about getting married to someone..."

Hear, hear.

No "trickle down government".

Because the fatcats in DC seem to suck up too much, with precious few results, so we're pretty much in drought conditions out here -- meaning, no significant trickle to the outer districts...
