My ex forgot to delete from the delete file, his mash notes to his lover and I've saved them over the past nine years, wondering whether to use them now as he's running for his first statewide office (he told me he wanted a divorce the day after he was sworn in for the first time as a state legislator--with me and the children there to complete the photo perfect scene just once for him) or later if he ever runs for governor, as he has boasted to friends that he will do.

I guess an A320 is alright as long as the nose wheel is pointed in the right direction when it lands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERFf91rkc6w There have been something like 15 of these incidents. Oh, and this is why those airline captains are paid decent bucks. This LAX incident was great for the media. I watched it live on the 5:00 news. It was perfect. Drama, scariness, suspense and a happy ending. Everytime somebody says "A320" I think of it. Easy please, Caliban. I used to have a mild letch for Jane Birkin.

So, I suppose, it’s the perfect soundtrack for the unbridled id of Kwame “Je t’aime--moi non plus” Kilpatrick. For some reason, this put me in mind of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLfZMrGyOXU" rel="nofollow">Clarence Carter</a>, the anguish of love bordering on obsession, and heartbreaking Stax/Volt guitars (courtesy of the singer himself). So, thanks for making my day. Of course, Clarence was not immune to the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGVnH39UzI8" rel="nofollow">concupiscent angle</a> on this sort of arrangement. (Neither of these ‘videos’ is remotely watchable, but for sincerity and salaciousness, the two songs are wonderful. I seriously doubt that <I>Strokin’</I> ever got any air play.)

Wright: My wife walked out of her church (Lutheran) when the new preacher started talking about dinosaurs on Noah's Ark. I'm not sure which was worse, that he believed an obvious fairy tale like Noah's Ark or that, contrary to all scientific evidence, he believed that dinosaurs existed a scant 5000 years ago. Me, I quit all churchs when I left home. In re Obama and Rev. Wright: My wife walked out of her church (Lutheran) when the new preacher started talking about dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark.

The three candidates are all senators - why haven't they used their current powers to make the changes they are promising? The president is an administrator - a powerful one, yes, but most of the work gets done in a different branch of the government, the one that the three candidates are currently in. I'm probably being too simplistic on this, but I've always wondered why we think a president can work miracles. Some do (both of the Roosevelts, in my opinion); most don't. And Miley, or whatever her name is? She's catching flack for showing a bare back, but I'm way more creeped out by the picture with her dad. I am totally with Joe K on the false promises thing.

Lots of people do indeed lead reconstructed lives; I suppose it could be argued that an unreconstructed life would be essentially pointless (what WOULD be the point of growing older, once one escaped High School and then their 20's, if not to improve/reinvent/reconstruct/rethink?)

All for the benefit of someone else's comfort level. Hell, anyone can do it, and all that much easier with an O-positive vanilla sex drive. She looks like she has redeemed herself as a good Republican bleach-and-mousse conservative, so here's hoping the hacks on the bench give her some air kisses and a slap on her tennis bracelet.
