Here’s a great idea for the Obama spin team: Why don’t we spend the next two years debating health care and then do nothing at all about it? That should get old 44 off the hook as far as waterboarding and such is concerned.
Did the CIA brief a few strategically picked bloggers about waterboarding?
If everything you can possibly imagine can be found on Youtube, why don’t they have the instrumental version of the theme for the old TV series "Medic" available?
Why have Willie Nelson and Mick Jagger never done a duet recording?
Didn’t Art Buchwald write a fictionalized story (for one of his copyrighted columns) and then make a fortune when someone plagiarized it for a movie? Would anyone (this column is copyrighted, ya know) like to read a “based on a true” story column about a woman, who during WWII, was a POW who escaped and managed to get to a neutral country where she had to stay until the end of the war?
Now, getting back to the idea that President Obama’s about-face on the release of the photos showing abuse of the prisoners at Abu Ghraib; when President Bush brushed it off, it was an outrage and the basis for a war crimes trial, but now that a president setting Democratic President wants to sweep the pictures under the rug . . . why not, eh?
Raymond Chandler wrote: "I was wearing my powder-blue suit, with dark blue shirt, tie and display handkerchief, black brogues, black wool socks with dark blue clocks on them. I was neat, clean, shaved, and sober, and I didn't care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars." (Was he going to Pasadena?)
Now, the disk jockey (if he knows what’s good for him) will play the instrumental version of the theme from the TV series "Medic" and we will drift away. Have a "Hey, ma, I'll be marching in the Rosebowl Parade!" type week.
