Fathers Forgive Your Sons

Today I was reminded of the old Hemingway story. A father in Spain had been at odds with his son for a while. Eventually he took out an add in the paper. It went something like this. Paco, meet me at the Hotel Montana on Tuesday, all is forgiven. He found eight hundred young men waiting at the hotel longing for forgiveness.
No need to explain what doesn't need explaining.

Don't know your name, but I wrote it for you

Bird House

Here is a little cold water flat we're offering for chicken feed

Large Catalpe Tree


This large Catalpa tree is in front of my parent's house. A Tennessee Forester told them that it was one of the largest in the state of Tennessee.
I don't know about that but for those who don't live where these grow, the Sphinx Moth lays eggs on the leaves. By mid summer caterpillars by the hundreds are eating away the foliage. Catfish love them.
There are two species of Catalpa. Catalpa bignonioides, and Catalpa speciosa. I believe this is the latter.

Yes They Can

Mark Levin was giving the history of the Cloward - Piven Strategy CPS yesterday.
In 1966 two professors from Columbia University devised a scheme to overload the country's welfare system in order to crash the government. Their system worked so well that in the early 70"s for every two workers there was one on welfare in New York City. New York filed bankruptcy in 1975.

Now you are witnessing the strategy on a national scale. Community organizers have used the poor as soldiers to make overwhelming demands on government. The health care bill, should it pass as they want, may be enough to crash the economy. There are far more foot soldiers this time around. ACORN and SEIU are only two of them.

To pull this off they must have the House, Senate, and a President who will sign it.
So -------maybe they can't

Low Class

Don't you get tired of hearing about the upper class, the middle class, and never a whisper about the low class.
I know some low class people. Most are politicians in the upper class.

Good To See Danielle

Being schooled as an Educator many of the fraternity secrets were revealed to me.
Socialists got in on the ground floor of America's education system. They have worked it masterfully to their advantage.
