Ok, it's Saturday. Time for a relaxing nature story. We're lucky here. No flooding. We feel for anyone suffering from extreme weather patterns.

Extreme patterns! Something strange must have caused the Canada geese parents to hatch eggs in the desert.

The parents were probably just in survival mode when they abandoned their babies. The desert is not a good habitat for them.  But seeing these little guys peeping desperately in the sage, we couldn't just leave them to die in the cold mountain night or be easy dinner for foxy.  So here they are, growing and thriving.  It's truly amazing, how strong the will to live can be.

[Originally a response to John Kerry, this post speaks to the MSM sins of omission, and the concomitant damage to democracy. Only a liar or an idiot would say "both" when there are three or more in the set. Which is it? Lying or Idiocy?]

In the Democratic primary, Obama and Hillary are Goliath and John Edwards is David, Seabiscuit, the oppressed candidate, by virtue of his doing the right thing regarding financing, but even more so by virtue of his marginalization by The Corpulent Media, who always seems to get it wrong...at least when it comes to the typical American citizen.
They helped shoehorn Bush into office.
They helped shoehorn America into a tragic, horrible, and far from over war.
They are pill pushers.

Even before the war, I knew this much: We might decide when it begins, but it is the enemy who will decide when it is over. And we found this out with "Mission Accomplished". The same sad truth holds true today...unless we are in touch with the highest of truths, and can create a win-win situation whereby their win is clearly more generous than our own...for it is we who created this proverbial "goose in a bottle" to begin with.

There! It is out!

THE HEAVY UPLIFTING
Now can we finally get to the heavy uplifting? (By uplifting, I do not mean tugging.)
