A Mental Beacon!

I just read a quotation of a now famous politico who is gadding about all the television programs these days. She is stunningly popular around here. Since my chemo I notice that my conversations are nearly identical in structure and clarity to hers.>

***************************************************************

"My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars.

Never, ever did I talk about, well, gee, is it a country or a continent, I just don’t know about this issue.”

As Dick Cavett wisely observed, "It’s admittedly a rare gift to produce a paragraph in which whole clumps of words could be removed without noticeably affecting the sense, if any. "

Or, was Ms. Politico merely demonstrating her mastery of the long-winded haiku? Is she a Pretend Philistine who is deftly shielding her artistry and intelligence from the rabble?

I think so!!

I sense a kindred mind there on high. When my full vigor returns a new career in public office awaits me? Or, at minimum. a wild and exciting ride on the late night circuit and breakfast chit-chat forums?

Let me try my hand at verse as well... My conversational style was perfected long ago.

open graham cracker boxes:

the babies dance hokey pokey

a swarm of gnats rise

.

Damn good, eh for a first effort?

Move over Washington, Hollywood, ZaZen...MizFlounce is on the prowl!

Dreaming of a Fabulous Future,

Puffed Up and Proud!!

PS feeling a tad better this morning. My sleep could euphemistically be described as "broken" last night. Am I on an uptick? Or is it just Big Biscuits? I hope I will not emotionally fall over the cliff edge come mid-afternoon.
