MORE LATER

It is sooooo easy to be negative.

I know, there is a lot to be positive about, but there is so much of the other kind of stuff going on.

For example, President b.o. has started to remind me of Emperor Nero.

I keep having this crazy picture in my mind of him in a toga fiddling around making his speeches about his health care fixation while so many other problems are figuratively burning up the world.

Yeah, I think that is one of the big negatives pressing in on us here at The Study.

There he is up on his Seven Hills, blah blah blah – no substance – lies, impossible promises, idiotic appointments and gestures and policies, while more and more countries are making nukes; making hostile combinations; blowing up our troops; planning to attack each other; interest groups and pressure groups here at home are contributing more to the problems than they are solving; the economy is not improving; and on and on and on.

A Congressman says the truth about b.o.. Good for him.

And then he apologized. That is bad.

h. reid called President Bush a liar and proudly announced that he was not going to apologize.
That was bad.

Israel is going to strike Iran. Sure looks like it.

Venezuela is moving toward Moscow and is working to subvert in advance any oil embargo it might face in the future.
The most we can hope for in the health care/insurance reform is that nothing important will happen.

Congressional leadership – majority leadership - is, plainly speaking, disgusting.

The US will not develop new petroleum resources.

The US will begin to mandate mercury-laden lightbulbs – a true health menace when broken and relatively expensive. And they are dimmer than our good old-fashioned kind.

We at The Study plan to stock up, big time, on the old style – the healthy kind. The old kind.

A hope: the b.o. snow plow steam engine. It keeps on piling up the snow.
Bring it on. Pile up more and more.

But the Republican Party has no one who has as yet accepted or who has stepped up to assume the ‘mantle’ of presidential hopeful who can win.

Where is such a person?

How come there is no one on the fabled horizon?

This is bad.

And another negative – the idiot who just resigned, or who was actually fired from his czardom as head of this or that – was/is a self-proclaimed commie who thinks that President Bush helped to plan the attacks of 9-11.

So does marty sheen (sp?), the g.d. actor who has demanded a meeting with b.o. to demand that b.o. investigate this nonsense – because he apparently believes it is true.

GOOD GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And his appointment was praised by numerous toadies in the b.o. admin.

GOOD GOD!!!!!!!!!!

And then we are told by very good doctors that we should not smoke cigars.

Now, now you are talking big negatives.

We are not to smoke cigars.

We are adult. I know of a cigar store. It is but a short drive from The Study.
It would be so easy.
They like me.
It is small and old and housed in a little green storefront that looks – that looks Victorian.

We love things Victorian.

Anyway, you walk in….and things happen.

You forget about b.o.

You forget about Iran.

Instead, you look at leather sofas and chairs and big ash trays and hundreds of cigars in the huge humidor.

And the world of the 21st century recedes – and you can imagine that you hear horses clopping by outside instead of cars and horns and such.

And the aromas.

And the doctor says stop smoking.

Anyway, enough.

It is late.

We have had our manhattans and scotches w/o benefit of the leaf – and it is time for bed.

Take care.

More later.
