TODAY’S GRAFFITI
CURRENCY
[Did you know? Steve and Guido are lovers! But Steve is the man!]
Guido's wife stared at the dollar, thunderstruck... the new drapes, the
sudden interest in show tunes, the chronic incontinence... it all made
sense now.

HI, MY NAME IS ________, AND I USED TO BE A DEMOCRAT
I've heard this message in more than one place. People who voted
Democrat for years, sometime for their whole lives, now seeing the path
forced upon America by 9/11, seeing the path forking in November,
seeing the insanity & bloody shirt waving that the Democrats are
doing to get America to turn down the snake & poison ivy infested
path of appeasement, and saying, "no, thank you."
It's hard to change the habits of a lifetime, and it takes a certain
kind of strength to let go of the past in search of something that will
serve you better. Vanderleun of American Digest says it beautifully in his farewell to the Democratic party:
In a way, what the Democratic
party is now is somewhat like a first wife thought about at a safe
distance from the divorce. You know you loved her at some point but you
can't really remember why. You know she was beautiful to you then, but
now you can only see the ruins of that beauty, and you are glad you got
the best years. You know that, yes, you must have been happy with her
and had a lot of good times. But now you can't remember where or when.
In fact, when you think about her now you can't really believe you
wasted all those declining years with here just because you believed
that somehow, some time, she would grow sane, beautiful, and young
again.
Go read the whole thing. Mr. V is near-Lileksian in the lyricism of his prose.

CARNIVAL OF THE VANITIES IS UP
... at Boi From Troy. I was starting to think I wasn't going to find anything noteworthy until I came across this short list of the 53 things a man has to do to make a woman happy
from Wicked Thoughts. Since I measure up on all of them (well, except
7, 10, 12, and 13... um...15 might be a little iffy, too), I think it's
safe to say that I can look forward to my 50th wedding anniversay.
Besides, even with those 4 or 5 flaws, I still have a good chunk of job
security that's not on the list.
See, I'm 5'10" & have long, monkey-like arms. Beloved Wife is 5'0"
and built like a normal (if somewhat small) human being. So, as long as
we have kitchen cabinets in the house with shelves higher than 6 feet
off the floor, I've got myself a rock-steady marriage. The only words
sweeter than "I love you" are "Can you get that thing down for me?"
Oh, and as for the three requirements for making a man happy, well, I
think it's perfectly fine to cross out the word "big" in #1.
