U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy dies at age 77 at 04:01 AM EDT

Although I am a republican, I know a great humanitarian when I meet one. Teddy Kennedy is a tired and true, he gave to public service like no other I’ve known in past and maybe future. Godspeed to the family.

Shephard Fairey + Finn Perkins = Obamicon

The longest election season in memory is now over, but the art remains, became his claim to fame,  Shephard Fairey vector art is cool.  Some have called it copy cat, even filed a lawsuit, but in the end, this has become bigger than even Fairly imagined.  Like Oprah, his friend, it seemed anything, then Sen. Obama touched, became golden.

 

 

 

pop art, new graffiti Art, icon art, commerical art , whatever you label it it is big business now.  I do not think we’ll see a  Roy Lichtenstein or a Andy Warhol Icon maker site, like this one here, Obamicon & PasteMedia Group.  who knows.

IMO one of the best decisions President GHW Bush made in 1990 was . .

 

Justice David Hackett Souter nomination , as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, July 1990

Souter,  just after he was sworn in, he said: “The first lesson, simple as it is, is that whatever
court we’re in, whatever we are doing, at the end of our task some human being is going
to be affected. Some human life is going to be changed by what we do. And so we had better
use every power of our minds and our hearts and our beings to get those rulings right.”

Although appointed by a Republican president and thus expected to be conservative,
he sided on more occasions with the most liberal justice.  Souter’s positions on the Court, 
Sununu would have preferred him to be more similar to Justice Antonin Scalia. I am glad he isn’t.

So is It “Quasi-President” or “President”, what are we teaching our kids, not to mention the 2 Kids who live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Fly on the wall, when this get explained…

 

First dog of the USA 2009

 

Parents – “ok kids,met your new puppy!  [ -almost used,   -almost a shelter puppy,   -only had this name for a very short time-6 months]

Kids – Can we name him?
Parents Sure!

Kids -  Ok, His name is Bo!
Parents Great!

Kids -  Where did he come from?
Parents -  Well, Bo is a quasi-rescue dog!

Kids -  What is Quasi?
Parents – Because, he was home-less, but not in a shelter.

Why was he homeless?
Parents  – the First family, I mean his first family, I mean the original family that bought him, said he didn’t fit in.

Kids -  Why, is something wrong with him?
Parents  – Oh no, actually he the best  [- a Kennedy can buy], with a month at obedience school and changing his name, he is Perfect.

 Kids -  So, if he’s perfect, why didn’t the first family, I mean the other family want him?
Parents  – Well, to be honest, “uncle Teddy”,  called in a few favors, seems the Bo’s other  family, didn’t pay all their taxes,  the deduction for NAKC was a mistake, they confused it with ASPCA. Kids -  Why?
Parents – Because I said so…

He is not the first to offer U[nited] S[tates], A[merica] a chance for change, but he seems ..

…to be the most palatable.

I hope to see one interview today that offers me a view of the day with out the words that describe, race and offers me words to describe all of us.

How can the media say that the young African Americans NOW have a role model. May I remind everyone (including the media), of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Colin Powell, Jesse Jackson, and many others who, because of the same media blinded by Mr. Obama’s word (with a new spin),  Have been offering the same ideas and dreams to all of us. Is it because he’s more GQ’ than the above stated, that the media has been taken in by this romance. I hope note because a divorce between the media and a public figure is usually not pretty. let’s pray for Rain.

….So call me crazy, insensitive, or even out right mean, but lets get real here. Barack Obama,  is a Rainmaker, …. I am dedicating this song to Mr. Obama.  I think He is very capable of taking this Nation into [another] cold war status, But please stop making him out to God, because he is not my god. he is [will be], my president.

 

You came riding in on the sunrise
On a hot west Texas day
With a fancy man in a painted wagon
With some fancy things to say
Looks like you folks need some water
Well water is my game
And for the small price of $100.00
I bet you I could make it rain

Step back non-believers
Or the rain will never come
Someone start that fire burning
Somebody beat the drum
He said some may think I’m crazy
For making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over
You folks are gonna see some rain

They all just stood there staring
Trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzy Cooper
Who said he was a lying cheat
She said you call yourself the Rainman
Well you ought to be ashamed
Starting all these people dreaming
Thinking you can make it rain

Step back non-believers
Or the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire burning
Somebody beat the drum
He said some may think I’m crazy
For making all these claims
But I swear before this day is over
You folks are gonna see some rain

Hey Lizzy
Well a man’s gotta have a dream
And if you can’t walk on the inside with me
I’ll meet you in between
Oh come with me Lizzy
And the stars will write your name
And if you still think I’m lying to you
Look yonder there comes the rain

Step back non-believers
Or the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire burning
Somebody beat the drum…
