"There is no place like home..."
Home for the holidays means catching up on"all the latest." On our last post: we discovered there were at least three gnus in the news. There was Roger, and Dan - then a surprise visit, like a ghost from Christmas past, Gary.
Yes,that Gary, in living color. A TEST pattern. Who gnu?
Christmas present brings personnel changes. A swan song in March, tick, tick, tick, a step down from a line at night across town.... Brother Roger, off the record, said," Gary is the least trusted gnu in America."
Thanksgiving is past: our gloves are hung by the oven with care; with hopes another ham or turkey will soon be there, as you like it. Black Friday is football for some, shopping for others. Something to be thankfull for - for sisters and brothers.
Soon; the immortal words, "God bless us every one!", will warm many a home.

"...now for the gnu news"
Remember Gary Gnu? If there were no baaad gnus... that would be good gnus. Major network news is in baaad trouble. There has been a steady decline in viewership, low ratings, and lost revenue.
The networks have one world view - LEFT of LEFT! They have written off ALL other views. Who needs: Independents, libertarians, conserative democrats, liberal republicans? Less People; that starts with P, that rhymes with T, that stands for TROUBLE.
Reporters, so called, do not believe that "they" should stoop to the level of reporting. "Call it as it is", is no longer taught at the "BEST" journalism schools. You have the POWER of the PRESS behind you. You don't report news; you give our view, MAKE NEWS! (Are you listening...Dan?)
The Rathergate investigation is on going because - BLOGGERS have their own FACT CHECKERS. Go BLOGGERS! Has the fourth estate lost its power? Some have; and THEY - not the "ignorant bloggers"in pajamas are to blame. ABCCBSNBC are meeting as we speak.

"today is the first day of the rest of your life..."
Today; in a classroom full of high school students, I said, "today is the first day of the rest of your life - VOW TO MAKE SOMETHING OF IT!"
The really great thing about it; I'm not their teacher, yet I was able to communicate with them. High school students still have their childhood radar. They know if you are real. They know when you say "I REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU", if you honestly do. I do.
From their text we lifted the title: "The Examined Life." From "The Universe Next Door";by James W.Sire, we listed the seven basic world views, the seven basic questions to examine each world view. Then we found each of our world views.
We presented the novella, "The Old Man and The Sea", from Hemingway's book and snips of the film of the same name. We laughed and we cried - we communicated.

...for whom the bell tolls
CURRENT EVENTS: "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee".
Therefore, Arafat's death diminishes me, but not by much. I hope there will be a free election in January, and the Palestinians elect leaders that move from hate to peace in their own land.
There has been a free election in America. I hope our leaders will move America forward. The majority of voters in America do not hate President Bush , or Senator Kerry. Angry mobs may attract TV camera crews(while the camera is on), but elections are not won by the candidate with the most haters. Let there be discussion in the Congress, let there be debate - not hate.
The Palestinians have a golden opportunity to secure security for their citizens. Americans have the same opportunity to bring the three branches of our government back into working order.
"Public office is a public trust." Some elected officials seem to have lost sight of this, some judges think it does not apply to them. "A politician looks to the next election, a statesman to the next generation." Now is the time for statesmenship.
