Darkness Drops Again

Darkness drops again
On the once great mighty beast
Slumbering now in the desolate void
A cacophonous tumult now deceased

But this night marks the final hour
Of a vexed and listless life
It rises slowly, sadly
And slouches towards the east

One More Reason to Quit

Wanna Smooch?

Hillarys Boy?

These 2 sure make a cute couple. Lets hope the voting machines are rigged again this time, yikes..

Alrighty Then! Let's Get Right Into The Politics Now, Shan't We?

Hillary Clinton is to be presented as America's Margaret Thatcher as she tries to become the first woman to win the White House. Let's compare:

Seven Sorrows

When he was just, but one year old, brought on His presentation day

An old man there, named Simeon, prophetic words fulfilled that day.

The words he spoke, would pierce her heart, that this child would be king

and suffer much, and be the fall and be the rise of many men.

Herod had heard the spreading word, that a great leader had been born,

Joseph the guardian, of the child, to His protection was he sworn.

He took his wife, and fled that night, to save his child from the sword

Down to Egypt, a long hard trek, another sorrow was fulfilled.

They looked three days, in every place, and then she found her child there,

the Temple of Old Israel, and the teachers with him there.

"What have you done, did you not know, we have searched you for 3 days"

"Oh, mother where, else would I be, but right here in My Fathers place."

His mission done, yet just begun, after the trial He was scourged,

then crowned with thorns and mocked and scorned, for all the sin that must be purged.

While on His way, to Calvary, He met His mother on the road,

the tears she cried, her only son, this was as Simeon foretold.

They nailed Him down, then raised Him up, to all men this sign is shown

The Lamb of God, laid down to die, the seeds of truth have all been sown,

He cried out loud, in dying voice, "Father, forgive them what they do, accept my Spirit, unto your hands, I offer all of this to you."

As he lay dead, they pierce His heart, the precious blood and water ran,

His body down and placed into, His weeping mothers loving hands.

She holds her child, who would be king, and suffer much to make atone,

Oh, how she cried, oh how He died, her broken heart left all alone.

A follower, of her son, a man named Joseph gave his tomb

the body of her broken child, was laid to rest in that small room.

As Mary watched the burial, of her only son Jesus,

a rock is rolled, across the face, and guards are stationed at that place.

Boise State #1

Okay all you naysayers (and you know who you are) Boise pulled off the big win. And if you missed the Fiesta Bowl you should kick yourself in the $#@!. It had all the trappings of great football; the early lead, the great comeback, the poorly timed touchdown interception, the greater comeback by hook and ladder, overtime touchdown, overtime fourth down comeback touchdown, followed by no-guts-no-glory two point conversion on the ol' statue of liberty play.

And wait did I mention that immediately after the game the running back proposed to the head cheerleader and of course she accepted. Now you can't even find that kind of drama in reality TV.

By the way announcers, it's pronounced "boycee" not "boyzee." This was perhaps the best bowl game of all time, certainly the best college game of century (even though the announcers didn't know BSU's background well enough to correctly pronounce the Idaho capital's name.) They'll remember the name for some time to come.

I can't decide if it was better than the Texas vs. USC championship, but wait, I just decided... it was! Now I know, you Rutgers fans have a lot to cheer about, winning your Texas (what the hell is that?) Bowl. I was in Houston at the time and two friends of mine at dinner had tickets to the game. You'll want to kill me for this, but they couldn't give them away. No spin here.

Oh yeah, I haven't been able to post, because Blogger hadn't moved me to the new format until today. I look forward to and wish a healthy and happy new year for all you Hubbubers.
