There were those who took offense to Tim Tebow.

There was this football team who seemed to lose constantly and TT came along and served the team well.

THE EQUINOX

By Richard Day on Sat, 09/16/2017 - 10:24am |

Twelve hours of sun

And then twelve hours of dark

Equal Equinox

But it rains all day

So its gray or dark all day

Unfair Equinox

I can take half bad

ANOTHER RANT ON RUSH?

By Richard Day on Fri, 09/08/2017 - 7:57pm |

I swore I would not rant about Rush anymore.

But here it is.

Rush went on a rant about Hurricanes and the conspiracy of media with entrepreneurs to scare citizens into purchasing the necessities of life.

IT IS A PITY

By Richard Day on Wed, 08/30/2017 - 3:11pm |

A dark icon of Jesus

It is a pity

That in this sad cap city

There just is no truth

And so it has been

For over two hundred years

Just a DC swamp

He shall drain the swamps

So sez our esteemed leader

AMAZING GRACE

We find ourselves with the single most repugnant personage as President of the United States of America.

And yet, there are other things to worry about. hahahah

I spend too too many hours viewing these new YOUTUBE sites? Or Ipod espressos?

VOX POPULI

By Richard Day on Tue, 08/15/2017 - 10:06am |

Dwight David Eisenhower had to deal with the racial unrest in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.

There is context here.

There are tomes discussing this context; these tomes abound.

This previous Supreme  Commander of the ETO and of course the principal director of the Allied DDay Invasion subsequently became the Supreme Commander of all Allied Forces in WWII. 

Ike ended up President of The United States of America.

This great man from Texas had never been a champion of Civil Rights. He once rued the day that he had appointed Earl Warren as Chief Justice of our Supreme Court.

But Ike had to 'step up to the plate' when Little Rock exploded whilst 'Negro Children' were attempting to enter school.

I believe that I have viewed the film Jackie Brown ten times over the last two decades. Usually on Cable. 

Netflix just added this gem with its repertoire for the month of August.
