Over and Over

Why all this about the fireflies descending and the golden sun setting? Over and over. Why all this about the blue sky and the blooming blossoms? Can you not move along? Have you nothing else to say?

Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. Right now the sun and the sky and the colors of spring come mainly to mind. A gloom lurks beneath those colors sometimes, but perhaps it is just as well unspoken. So let me please leave those things to tomorrow. The fireflies and flowers are sufficient for today.

And anyway, there is a place where I go sometimes where driveby slices and narrow skyforms and wired skies and the seasons changing as they play upon the forest are a regular theme. Over and over. Sufficient unto themselves. They never grow old.

So humor me if you will. Daisies blooming in the springtime sun. Lantana trailing along the ground. Bees buzzing in the Salvia. Over and over. For now.

Gilliard on Salter on Rohe on McCain

Steve Gilliard on McCain's Chief of Staff, Mark Salter, and his comments about Jean Rohe's speech at The New School commencement...

[Gilliard/Dumber than a Box of Rocks]: Sir, your statement to a fellow American is disrespectful, and an embarrassment to your character and standing as a human being. Never mind the fact you call yourself an American. Ughh, I am disgusted with your arrogant and naive view of the populace of this great country. You sir have no business in serving the public.

What you have just taught me, through your arrogant and naive attack upon an honest American, is that I will not stand for this any longer! I will not bow down, as your Employer did, to the pressures of the political elite. I will not stand by ideally as you attack the citizens and the articles upon which this nation is built upon.
