20. It's just the way things are..

Stick your head up..make valid points...become an aggressive do-gooder, and you now have a target on your back, just waiting for the right wing "OMG machine" to do its work.

EVERYBODY past puberty has a few "oh shit" moments when they did something they will regret later, but most thankfully end up in jobs where it probably will never matter..

Anyone who has ever been around show business knows how "loose" things can get because of the closeness and lack of personal privacy...lines get very blurry...


I like Al, but now that there is "blood in the water", he's really neutered because of the type of media we now have.

I keep hoping that our guys will learn how this thing works and USE it when we have the majority, but we never do..

We like showing up at a gunfight , armed with popsicle sticks & marshmallows...and then we whine when we get beaten routinely..

My hope is that when one of ours has to leave, we get a strong, principled WOMAN as a replacement..

That;s how the "good ole boy" network shuts down..
