I Have Only Come Here Seeking Knowledge.

You con­si­der me the young appren­tice
Caught bet­ween the Scy­lla and Charyb­dis
Hyp­no­ti­zed by you if I should lin­ger
Sta­ring at the ring around your finger

It’s late. I’m doing school work. I mis­sed pos­ting and rea­ding this wee­kend because I took a trip late Satur­day to the moun­tains, with a board and a vio­lin man.

I have only come here see­king know­ledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the des­tiny you sold
Tur­ned into a shi­ning band of gold

Good thing, as it tur­ned out, because my neigh­bors infor­med me the elec­tri­city went off shortly after I left and didn’t come back on until Sun­day eve­ning, three hours or so before I retur­ned home. Yea, my neigh­bors watch me, they know when I leave, what and who I take with me when I go, and when I return. Take that Doug.

I know it’s kind of creepy.

I’ll be wrap­ped around your fin­ger
I’ll be wrap­ped around your finger

Here’s the thing.

Mephis­tophe­les is not your name
I know what you’re up to just the same
I will lis­ten hard to your tui­tion **
You will see it come to its fruition

Clin­ton is a rather grand mani­pu­la­tor. Cou­ple that with American’s stu­pi­dity, and she is right back in the race, and thinks she’s win­ning, almost half of us are con­vin­ced she is. Her cam­paign chan­ges monthly, depen­ding on which way the wind blows, in order to make sure we don’t smell the cow shit.

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you’ll never find me
I will turn your face to ala­bas­ter
When you will find your ser­vant is your master

We were mani­pu­la­ted into a tri­llion dollar war by an idiot last time. What chance do you think we have against someone who is actually good at it?

Ohhh, you’ll be wrap­ped around my fin­ger
You’ll be wrap­ped around my fin­ger
You’ll be wrap­ped around my finger

Please don’t make make it a choice bet­ween Scy­lla and Charybdis.

There is a bet­ter way.

Peace.

  • That would be a dire choice, indeed.

  • Oh baby, I love it when you talk dirty.

    But there’s no cause to be dis­sing good Amish cow shit by com­pa­ring it to HRC.

    What is up with her offe­ring the 2nd seat to Obama? It’s not as if she’s actually win­ning the damn race for numero uno. Damn but I hate her arro­gance. She must still believe she’s the annoin­ted one. I don’t think of her as a church lady but that’s about the only place where there is ever talk of being annointed.

    Or maybe she belie­ves she’s our savior. Idk, but there is but one Savior and his (her) name ain’t Hillary Clinton.

    meow

  • She’s losing. So she offe­red Obama the VPship to make it appear as if she’s winning.

    Harold Ickes daddy was a mas­ter mani­pul­tor in FDR’s admin – the Ickes Dia­ries are fas­ci­na­ting. Ickes was a small kid when his father died but obviously stu­died them

    He was out of favor with the Clin­tons but came back strong. Bet­ween him, Hill and Bill they can mani­pu­late big time – and I was a big Bill supporter

    The only poli­ti­cal signs I have seen here are for her. It’s not comforting.

    Glad you were away snow­boar­ding with a vio­lin man when the elec­tri­city was out :)

  • “We were mani­pu­la­ted into a tri­llion dollar war by an idiot last time. What chance do you think we have against someone who is actually good at it?”

    .….I start to really apre­ciate you girl.…dearest Hillary is in my town Scran­ton, Pa. Like an idiot I got caught in her appearance(TV– not idiot enough to go see her) and mis­sed the news on the other sta­tions. I thought she was sic­ke­ning as she spou­ted the name of as many local towns and land marks as she could in 45 min. I did not think there was an overwhel­ming crowd res­ponse for a woman who loves to call her­self a local girl. She lets on she visits friends here, ya she had to come when her father died and that’s about the size of it.

    A smile for you.….as I am rea­ding here local news is on…50 some yr old man tries to coax 9 yr old girl into truck. Proof as to how stu­pid peo­ple can be…truck is “BROWN AND PINK”

    keep up the good work girl!

  • “We were mani­pu­la­ted into a tri­llion dollar war by an idiot last time. What chance do you think we have against someone who is actually good at it?”

    Yes, exactly what I would have said “If I only had a brain”.

    Good song choice, funny how these things work out.

    I miss snowboarding.

  • Coo­per -
    Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, you enligh­ten me.
    Let me try to set your mind at ease.
    Unless this country has lost it’s mind (and there is a debate about that) there’s no way in hell that Hillary will ever get into the White House unless she’s invi­ted — and it’s a slim chance that that would ever hap­pen.
    Why do you think Colum­bus, Ohio got buried with 20″ of snow? God was pis­sed at them for their indisc­re­tion by endor­sing Ms. Hillary.
    Yeah, Hillary is flop­ping like a fish out of water. Hope­fully the Ame­ri­can peo­ple will start sme­lling the stink of her vaci­lla­tions.
    I sure do.

  • The spin is ama­zing. She has so many think she is dri­ving from the back­seat, when she’s really in the trunk.

    The only quib­ble I have is with the cha­rac­te­ri­za­tion that our Pre­si­dent is somehow stu­pid. That’s an air, a huge put-on. Go look at his deba­tes with Ann Richards when he was run­ning for gover­nor of Texas. You wouldn’t recog­nize him.

    When he does his little mon­key dance these days, and mis­pro­noun­ces words, it sends those on the left into an abso­lute frothing frenzy. It neu­tra­li­zes them, when they focus on the appa­rent stu­pi­dity. And it works. The puppet-masters on each side of the aisle have per­fec­ted this art of the Smo­kesc­reen. Get the Bible-thumpers in a lather, and make them spend their energy loo­king igno­rant. Set the pea­ce­niks all a-twitter, and watch them write let­ters of moral indignation.

    While Rome burns.

  • Nicely put.

    I don’t know if Bush is stu­pid, more like igno­rant and sly at the same time. He’s rich though, richer still since this last eight years.

    We the Peo­ple — pretty much stu­pid, or at least put­ting on a good act.

    One of my favo­rite Police songs.

  • I agree: Bush is not an idiot. He is ideo­log. And when it suits him, he can be wha­te­ver the current task is. His stum­bles where a mask; to show he’s just “the ave­rage man” doing “impor­tant work” for the Ame­ri­can people.

    I like how you think — though your vote would be was­ted on me. (Did you for­get — not qua­li­fied to run…) ;)

    So, did you enjoy the escape to the hinterland?

    Nice Police song…an album filled with con­tro­lling themes.

    Con­trol, not a word used in the Clin­ton hou­sehold. (Yeah right.)

    “Eliot! Eliot!” should go home, not to phone his hoo­ker. Poor wife — she actually not bad loo­king — can’t be fee­ling too swell, as if she ever did, in kno­wing that her husband’s been get­ting ‘favors’ for nearly a decade. (And she knew…specially given his top-dollar tastes.)

    I sup­pose ‘Client 9′ beco­mes inmate #1956788, if the hound dogs get their way.

    Nuff said.

  • Iro­nic. I figu­red Obama would be offe­ring Clin­ton the VP during the con­ven­tion. And she’d dec­line, lea­ding to an Obama-Edwards tic­ket. I still think it might hap­pen — after all, Kennedy’s path to the elec­tion was never smooth.

    I knew it. Trum­pets never win against vio­lins. ;)

  • Obama-Richardson pro­vi­des a guy with good advice and foreign policy expe­rience. The ques­tion is whether Richard­son can remove his nose from Bill’s ass.

  • mojo: It would indeed. Nov Sco­tia maybe? N Prince Edward’s Island.

    sk:“Oh baby, I love it when you talk dirty.” Oh, I haven’t star­ted yet.

    Pia: No, it’s not com­for­ting. And what the hell is wrong wirh Geral­dine wha­te­ver the heck her name is coming out and pla­ying that game? Clin­ton cam­paign stra­te­gies make me more cer­tain every­day that I will pro­bably not be able to vote for her under any condition.

    KAK: I’m glad you weren’t lured to her side. Could you please go out and talk some sense into the rest of your state. I’d do it, I’m not that far away, but I’m quite busy these days.

    G: Be safe G.

    Mor­gan: Smells ever worse today.

    Ike: I think it makes them so furious with them­sel­ves that they can’t think. Actually we are the stu­pid ones falling for the show pre­pa­red from Nazi Germany’s play book.

    Jacob: “richer still since this last eight years ”

    No doubt.

    Jason P:
    Hin­ter­land was nice, but way too brief. There was not much which was win­ter here this year.

    amoeba: They obviously do sometimes.

    SK: I always think of Richard­son as having his head up someone’s ass, though admit­tedly I know very little about him — first impressions.

  • Did you hear the latest in bullshit from her camp? It bog­gles me that peo­ple are still sup­por­ting Clinton.

  • Wom­bat — clinton’s camp is nothing but a dungheep, or, as we say in the regu­lar ver­na­cu­lar of the Ame­ri­can peo­ple, her camp nothing but bullshit.

  • meh… too stu­pid to get the edi­tor to work.

    “her camp is nothing but bullshit”

  • WOMBAT: Yea, I’ve been sta­ying away from watching any cam­paign news as it is giving me indi­ges­tion and I need a break. I’m weary.

    sk: oh so bull shit is ok, but cow shit is mean to Amish cows? ;)
    ha.…

    It takes one little click of the mouse sk — come on.
