Get thee the Impossible H.L. Mencken if it’s still in print. Then go to the Days books, the Letters, The Prejudices, 35 Years of Newspaper Work, his Diary, The Chrestomathy; then H.L. Mencken A Life, by Fred Hobson.
Right now I’m reading The Club Dumas by Arturo Perez Reverte.
I’ll cut up any Amerika Depress card. It’s no good on the black market.

That was why I made the distinction about Arizona being ‘Goldwater’s.’ Even in the Republican Party there are Goldwater Republicans who come the closest to being libertarians, along with conservative Democrats like Joe Lieberman. I do remember the elections of 1964…because that was when Lyndon Johnson swore he would not spill one drop of red American blood in Vietnam. Nor was he about spending, until he robbed the Social Security accounts to fund his Great Society and his War on Poverty.

Hubert Horatio Hotairbag Humphrey Dumphrey

We always refer to him as Humpty H. Dumpty.

Hubert Humphrey, the last of the conservative Democrats

Hubert Horatio Hotairbag Humphrey Dumphrey the last of the conservtive Democrats? When I was growing up he was always considered as one of the harder leftish Demoncrat idiots. At least until 1968. A real professional. His wife Muriel was always an amateur idiot, and his son “Skippy” has capped a public career as a licensed idiot.

Sure. This is all QUITE DELIBERATE. Party in power panders to future voters. The more illegals they can shovel in here, the more votes. All the easier because the illegal aliens are just that: they don’t give a damn about our Constitution, heritage, or rights. They just want the handouts. PERFECT Democrats.

I’ve been screaming this since 2006: if the southwestern states (i.e. Arizona and New Mexico) ever go reliably blue, it’s -over- for the GOP electorally.

(Thank you very much, Senator McCain.)

Oh Yez…I am familiar with the writing of 19th century Americans. Letters, essays and books. I love art, but can’t ever figger it out. Are you telling me that prose can be depicted? I am teasing you…I love Howard Pyle and Carolyn Haywood as illustrators. I used to collect her books too. Her drawings of children really seem to evoke Maria Hummel’s style. I can’t draw for beans, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy seeing how other people view their world. Especially children’s literature. But then, I am odd.

Rock on? Thank you, I will.

Math is logical. It can be taught in such a way as to teach a child through a concrete application before they get to the abstract of numbers. Dr. Maria Montessori has a fabulous system where children, with a mentor, can teach themselves arithmetic through manipulatives such as Golden Beads and problem cards. Google Dr. Maria Montessori and prepare to be blown away.
