I suspect that this is exactly what the Democrats and certain Media representatives have in mind for Donald Trump.

Apologies for the long reply:

I agree that James Comey was in a difficult position because he possessed knowledge that he felt the public should know, but he was bound by the constraints of an ongoing investigation. (Catch 22) and his duty as a citizen. I cannot wait to read his book. It is sad that most of this information comes after the point that we the public would find it useful.

I think one of the points I was trying to make was that our elected, appointed and hired officials should have a loyalty to the principles of our constitution and not the loyalty to people or an ideology that is not consistent with the constitution. The campaign process allows candidates to explain their positions and expand their vision of the path they plan to take. Their objective should be clear. We have too much nuance from both sides because of their need to gather a majority of votes.

Perhaps the cure is illustrated by the article recently posted by Publius Huldah.

Working without benefit of research, which is a as close as I get to a high wire act, I seem to remember a routine Steve had where he asked several members of the audience to pick four notes on the piano randomly. He would then create a musical melody using those four notes. It was amazing for me as a young boy. Only later did I learn that four notes was 1/2 of the available notes if you don't count sharps and flats, but it sure was impressive.

My morning mission in life now is to research this and see if my memory is accurate. I will do so hoping that the net is secure, because a fall from the grace of accuracy is right up there next to leaking a story to the New York Post.

Alex, You are right. My twisted sense of humor causes me to include some dead end links just to see who follows them . This one was intentional and I had to really reach down into the absurd to come up with it.

The comment below was inspired by this post from Alex. Selfies and humor mixed together.

Thanks Tim,
Since this article was posted I have learned that the Guitar shown in original article was for the Country and western singer Ray Whitley and not my classmate. I have edited the article and deleted the reference to the guitar.

Thanks for creating a Wiki page for him. For the reader here is a link to Ray's wiki page.

That reminds me of the story about the boy crossing the pasture when the bull saw him. The bull started chasing him and he knew he could not outrun the bull. Then he saw a tree and decided to try to jump up to a limb, but he realized that the limb was way too high for him to reach it. He had no choice so he made his best effort.

Later he was telling his friend about the incident and his friend asked him," Well did you reach the Limb?" His reply "No….

-----BUT I CAUGHT IT ON THE WAY DOWN."

Now that is "wide open, with no governors."

It may be worse. They could have actually taken the pictures of the skateboard in Arizona and invested the rest of the money in wine, women and song.

Using age and energy level as an excuse is a lame reason for not embarking on a new adventure, but it allows me the luxury of the the "WHAT IF" that you allude to. Notwithstanding the example of Colonel Sanders .

"Sanders believed that his North Corbin restaurant would remain successful indefinitely, but at age 65 sold it after the new Interstate 75 reduced customer traffic. Left only with his savings and $105 a month from Social Security, Sanders decided to begin to franchise his chicken concept in earnest, and traveled the US looking for suitable restaurants. After closing the North Corbin site, Sanders and Claudia opened a new restaurant and company headquarters in Shelbyville in 1959. Often sleeping in the back of his car, Sanders visited restaurants, offered to cook his chicken, and if workers liked it negotiated franchise rights."

Some day I will be able to say, I knew that guy when. It will make a good Memory Story with a personal twist that I have used in numerous articles here on BCN. I have no doubt on the success and growth prospects of SNI. I would title that post with the losers lament for having missed the opportunity due to a little thing like age.

--WHAT IF?--

"Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last possible moment, more vigorous efforts than before. Because, on the plains of hesitation, bleach the bones of countless millions who, at the dawn of victory sat down to rest, and resting, died!" Adlai Stevenson

I know I do not have a Dog personality because I am the world's worst about keeping in contact. I can go months and years without seeing someone but immediately start back where we left off. If I am not a Dog type, Am I a Cat personality? Not really.
Recent research shows that the Tiger is the most aggressive of the wild cat species. Additional research shows that I am neither Cat or Dog. That may apply to political as well. I am a conservatarian when it comes to politics. I may be the guy in the middle in this video. What was the question.

From the left's favorite Rich guy.

"Despite being famous for touting the idea that the rich don’t pay their fair share of taxes, investor Warren Buffet seems to be perfectly fine with receiving tax breaks for making investments in Big Wind. 'I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire's tax rate,' Buffet told an audience in Omaha, Nebraska recently. 'For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit.' "

Not bad for a Jewish boy from Connecticut.

“When I was three years old, I had a pretty bad case of the flu,” Magic Dick told About.com in 2009. “My mother bought me a Marine Band harmonica, which is the very same harp that I play today.” He’s been in love with the instrument all his life. In 1992, he and musician Pierre Beauregard were awarded a U.S. patent for an improved harp they call the “Magic Harmonica.”

Stan, Thanks for the teaser on Magic Dick. I have uploaded a Dueling Hits featuring him on the 'mouth organ.' Quite a player. Here is the link when it is published.

George Orwell said that language makes humans easy to control—control their language and you control the people. Students are the perfect fertile ground for molding skulls full of mush into whatever you wish it to be. We have funded our own destruction with public colleges and that curious custom of tenure which does not exist in the real world but does in government and Public Universities.

"You teach yourselves the law, but I train your minds. You come in here with a skull full of mush; you leave thinking like a lawyer" Charles W. Kingsfield Jr in The Paper Chase

You are right, It is a club more than a neighborhood. For a recluse like me it may seem like a waste of money but occasional shows and the pool and gym are good. There is not a weekend goes by without some major event. I would not be living here were it not for my lifelong friends in the same complex.

Softball season started yesterday and we have multiple teams with numerous over 80 yer old players.

I realize that some of you may not have watched the video, but at the end, there is a reference to the Men Matrix chart. As misogynist as it seems, it does not require much math. The women have a very simple chart which really only has one axis, but for clarity there is a Y axis which has been defined as the CUTE range. The X-axis supersedes any other criteria.

This picture was forwarded to me via Email. I add it here for clarity. The tile of the article is just under the limit of 150 Characters. Some would say this discussion is Foolishness but that is too many characters.

At Least One of my Dear Readers Wants to be Me, But, Since Only I Can be Me, he has Asked Me to Say What he Would Say if he Were Me and Not he

At 142 Characters with spaces it has eight to spare: or is it

Below is the Character count of the original title before I added or is it which makes an even 150 count
