It is pure coincidence that this post follows the last but it is important to stay on life's train so naturally the problem of overeating arises!

It was just the other day he whispered (or was that twenty years ago..ha)...

" Ya gotta learn to starve yourself kid before ya pig out, than ya can pig out and starve yourself...pig out and starve yourself....the way it was meant to be....diets don't give ya what ya need, ya need ta pig out and learn to starve yourself...together they will save ya, yet on their own each will kill ya".

Remember the "key words" in Lalepop's "No Diet Diet" is "STARVATION" and "pig out"....go figure!

What disturbes me the most about Hillary if she becomes President is that no one except future historians will ever be able to examine how we were misled into war in Iraq.  No one in the Bush Administration will be held accountable for the crimes that led us into one of the worst foreign policy disasters in our history. These items will be swept aside just as quickly as Bush 41's and Ronald Reagan's roles in Iran contra were swept aside by Bill Clinton. Instead of prison, these criminals will be free to move into cushy jobs with other organizations or businesses, make millions on the lecture circuit, and/or or show up in the media like Oliver North and G. Gordon Liddy, where they can rehab their damaged reputations and make lots of money doing it.

I watched the "State of the Union address".

When I say I watched it, I mean I didn't turn the sound up.

After so many years of painting I am conditioned to look,

and listen inwardly(where truth rises) to get the full view,

of what's in front of me.

I saw a lot of things........ missing!

I didn't see any tears for those that had suffered,

at the hands of the smiling faces I saw,

I didn't see the dark cape of deception anywhere highlighted,

I didn't see the cringing that one might expect to see,

I didn't see a child's face with an arm missing,

I didn't see the father drawing his last breath in chared wreckage,

I didn't see anyone dooped into a loan they should never had made,

I saw no homeless families,

No I didn't see any of those things,

I assume that since I didn't see any of those things,

I'm suppose to think the state of the union is good!

If what I was looking at were a painting and I could just turn it off,

 I would,

And since it wasn't a painting,

I did!
