If I had a clue what “wrap your long URL’s” means, I would be happy to do so. Unfortunately – some of us bloggers are of the most basic skill set when it comes to computer technology – and I am one of those. Thanks for making it a “link” for me, though. Assistance is always appreciated!

Howard Stern clip at link

is worth watching. Three people are asked who they are voting for. B. Hussein, of course… But then they are asked what they think of HIS choice as Sarah Palin for VP, and they all think she is fine…

Idiots. Every one of ‘em.

Oops. That was racists of me, wasn’t it!

Wrap your long URLs! – Ed

Greetings:

Back in the joy of my youth, in the Bronx of the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, basketball became the preferred way to waste my time. Eventually, my skills led me and some friends to travel to other neighborhoods in search of new competition. Some of these neighborhoods were more “diverse” and less safe than my own. News of my travels reached my father and I was subsequently summoned to a “Denis, me boy-o” meeting in our living room.

My father had grown up in Ireland and came to this country in 1927, in time for both the Great Depression and World War II. He was a practicing Catholic and, to my knowledge, had no particular bone to pick with black folks. When he found out where I had been traveling to play ball, he shared the following advise with me; “right or wrong, don’t ever expect them to take your part against their own.”

It was good advice then, as now.
