Memo to Bill Clinton: SHUT UP

This has just been a terrible night. Who can stand to think of the horrible fate that overtook a beautiful young woman whose life has been so tragically cut short. That may be why I am a little edgy, but I have been needing to get this off my chest.

Many of us beleive that former President William JeffersonClinton, having become accustomed to a worldwide spree of non-stop fanny kissing, has become so totally snug and self-centered that he has totally lost touch with reality. Many of us believe that it is in part his own arrogance that cost Senator Clinton the Democratic nomination.

The former President has totally outdone himself in comments delivered at a North Little Rock political rally. The Stephens Media Group reports.

“Its fixing to be a rout, and I don’t want Arkansas to be left behind,” Clinton said to cheers from the crowd of about 700 gathered in front of Argenta Drug Co. on North Little Rock’s Main Street. Barricades and police diverted rush-hour traffic around the scene during the 90-minute rally.

Somebody please tell Mr. Boy Genius that there are still 10% undecided voters and a slew of southern white males that will have to overcome a heritage of deliberate racial indoctrination against people of color. I know because that is how I was raised.

Maybe Bill Clinton doesn’t know, or his equally out-of-touch and detached rich friends have not told him, that John McCain and his powerful elite Republican supporters will stop at nothing to keep corporate welfare rolling and big tax breaks for the rich.

Senator Obama could very easily lose this election, and with friends like Bill Clinton, he is well on his way to certain defeat.

I hope I can sleep.

Time for BOO at the Zoo

 

Kids love Boo 2008

On this very sad night (see below) life goes on. Marie and I visited Boo at the Zoo and I caught up with Zoo Director Mike Blakely and we chatted for about 3 minutes on this year’s event. You can listen here.

Bruce Moore, the city manager, was on hand and seemed to be taking some questions about Ray Winder Field and its’ possible inclusion in the zoo property. 

I got to meet some of my firemen friends and will post the pics of that on my home page tomorrow. It was a great turnout and a pleasure to see so many of you there.

Anne Pressly dies from injuries

The Democrat-Gazette reports.

A Commendation.

DEPART, O Christian soul, out of this world,
  In the Name of God the Father Almighty who created thee. 
    In the Name of Jesus Christ who redeemed thee. 
    In the Name of the Holy Ghost who sanctifieth thee. 
    May thy rest be this day in peace, and thy dwellingplace in the Paradise of God.

A Commendatory Prayer when the Soul is Departed.

INTO thy hands, O merciful Saviour, we commend the soul of thy servant, now departed from the body. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech thee, a sheep of thine own fold, a lamb of thine own flock, a sinner of thine own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of thy mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.

(1928 Book of Common Prayer)
