Sipping Boca Java, Palm Beach Passion blend, and trying to get rid of a sinus headache. The air outside has cooled overnight and that is good but the headache remains.
Happy Rosh Hashana! It is the Jewish New Year of 5767 for those playing at home. It is the 10 days of repentance that lead to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
Today the Pope meets with the Muslim leaders of the region to discuss his recent remarks concerning Mohammed. I am happy he doesn't apologize for making the remarks. Some honest debate and distinctions among religions of the world would be refreshing. The Muslims response to the Pope's remarks were death threats and hanging the Pope in effegy. When the Iranians launched the current showing of cartoons bashing Christians and mocking the Holocaust, I seem to have missed the violent reaction of those offended by them.
I have a new t-shirt for lounging around the house. It has one sentence written in Arabic across the chest. The English translation is below and reads: I will not submit.
The VW commercials showing the use of air bags in crashes? They freak me out every time. I am trying to realize what is coming and avert my eyes.
Were there no Southern men available to portray Huey Long in "All the Kings Men"? Sean Penn deserves the lousy reviews he is receiving. Why does Hollywood continue to insist on performances over the top when the lead is a Southern character? It's ridiculous. And, has Sean Penn suffered a stroke recently? I've heard him on a couple of interview shows promoting the film and he can't put together a coherant sentence to save his life.
Secretary of State Rice fared much better in her interview with Katie Couric on Sixty Minutes than former President Clinton did on Fox News Sunday. It was Clinton's first interview on Fox News, the network in its tenth year now, and it was quite the performance. Of course it was all planned by his people to make him look like the loyal liberal he is. When questioned about the hunt for bin Laden during his time in office, he came unhinged and started the whole victim of a vast right wing conspiracy, I was the greatest president ever routine. The man is the definition of narcisstic and realizes his legacy will not be treated kindly by history. So, the plan is to blame those evil right wing conservatives. And taking off on Chris Wallace, son of Mike Wallace of Sixty Minutes/CBS fame? Accusing Chris Wallace of doing the bidding of Fox News? Really dumb move. The fact that Clinton, the glory hound he is, has never been interviewed on Fox News speaks volumes. He is of the crowd that thinks Fox News is only speaking to conservatives. That's because Fox News is the only network that bothers to do both sides of the issue on every interview. And, horror of horrors, they have a pro-American attitude!
I think most of all that Clinton is still smarting from the fact that he could not bully ABC into completely ditching the recent "Path to 9/11" movie. He tried to bully Chris Wallace with stabbing the air right in front of Wallace's face with his index finger and hitting the clipboard of papers on Wallace's lap while leaning into his face. Really school yard bully tactics. After the show, he screamed at his staff while leaving the studio.
Clinton has to rally the base for the upcoming election. The Democrats see their leads falling and now fear not taking back control of the House of Representatives. Plus, the Clinton machine has to appear tough on defense with Hillary's upcoming campaign for president on the horizon.
The grifters are looking to live in the big white house again.

I think Bill is the anti-Christ.
I think Sean Penn may have sipped some of that water from his little cup when he was trying to rescue New Orleans.
Bill went bloviator-istic didn't he! Rivaled ole Kennedy for the red face, all swelled up and spitty.
I've read some very very interesting parsing of his, um, hissy fit, and he apparently said something he might, if the press were actually doing their jobs, wish he hadn't.
Sean Penn may have the same disease that Farah Fawcett has... alcohol + pills + time = fried brain cells.
And Clinton... I don't think he is smart enough to be the anti-Christ. I really think Hilary is more dangerous. If she were to say.. become chancellor or Germany.... then I think she is prime anti-Christ material.
Apparently, both of them have the "I'm so nice and warm and fuzzy" routine down pat most of the time... but both routinely scream at staffers and curse like drunken sailors.
