Posted by Kris Mara on 04/16/09 at 12:17 PM a case of poetic injustice well written through your metaphors |
Posted by George Hoerner on 04/16/09 at 02:19 PM Smoke and mirror trick has fooled us since the last depression and no one really wants to stop it. The military still needs its money fix to save and serve, those retired need the medicare money or the fix from 1984, and the wealthy will starve without their tax cut. So that leaves us right back were we started with no one knowing what to do to polish the mirrors and stoke the smoke. |

Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 04/16/09 at 08:33 PM I do like your choice of metaphors and yes it is smoke and mirrors and the great wizard has always been a man/men/women behind a curtain however red it or green it be when it falls we are all merely able to click our heels and say there is not place like home and there is not place I would rather live. smh |
