 Now they're talking about D.ick Cheney -- Matthews called him "Chee-nee." LoL I think we should exercise the strawberry option. |

Cole Porter apparently wrote this song, "Don't Fence Me In," for a 1934 film called ADIOS, ARGENTINA that for some reason never got made. It eventually appeared in a film called HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN OF 1944, sung by Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers, and later in a Rogers/Dale Evans/Gabby Hayes film called--duh--DON'T FENCE ME IN. www.youtube.com/watch?v=93argkjkRxkIt remains one of only two songs I've ever heard Thomas Hampson do that he shouldn't have done. (The other is a duet with the brilliant John Raitt on Hampson's CD LEADING MAN. Even at Raitt's age, he outsang Hampson.) |

Here's the fault in Chee-nee's logic. First, it was eight years between the first World Trade Center attack and the second one, notwithstanding that Bill Clinton was in charge for most of that time. Second, they attacked on Chee-nee's watch for a reason. And third, they haven't NEEDED to attack again in the US because we've lined up our soldiers for them in the shooting galleries of Iraq and Afghanistan. Five thousand and counting.
Or doesn't that count, D.icky?
Fifty-one this month alone in Afghanistan. Because Bush and Chee-nee were so busy keeping us safe in Iraq that they ignored Afghanistan.

Huh-uh. Being the cranky classicist that I am, I went for the version I heard first--on a Sons of the Pioneers album called THAT LUCKY OL' SUN, I think. German chocolate is wonderful.  |

Because--in the immortal words of David Gregory--that's not their job. (Which is why Gregory will never been more than a moderately pretty face among newsmen.) Maybe we should ask Craig to sic Helen on him. SHE'D ask. |

I heard that loony tune talking about Sam Houston. Matthews did a very
nice job explaining about Houston. I had forgotten the specifics of that.
Now I see what you were talking about at FB.

If he would ever let her get within 50 yards of him. Did you see Gregory's interview with Maria Shriver? Either she's REALLY good and should be the next Kennedy leader, or Gregory did a pretty good job. I tend to think the former, but either way, it was very nice. |

But I LIKED the version you picked. I just thought Ella doing Don't Fence Me In was interesting. Apparently the video was made for I-Max. Great scenery. But NO juicy-kissing Trigger. |

Old Sam was many things--an alcoholic, a drifter, a bad husband--but he was a staunch Union man, one reason the Civil War ended both his career and his life (he more or less grieved himself to death after TX seceded). Which is why Gov. Perry and his ilk are a freakin' disgrace. |

Speaking of which, I thought Maria looked really devastated at Ted's funeral mass. It has to be really hard losing both her mother and her beloved uncle within such a short time. |
