But while edging my yard this morning and picking up after the Hernando De Soto Parade last evening, a thought came to be about just saying no. I was saying no to myself about swearing at the revelers for leaving empty beer cups, and half empty sport drink bottles, and bags and such. Then I realized this is a part of the bliss of living a block away from the parade, that life brings one's way. So while reveling in No, to my misguided judgemental point of view, I thought of 'Just Say No'. and Dear Nancy, look how I gaze at the president, Reagan. Turns out that is all she knows. NO Pun. Gazing into the face of the President. Current included.
This little bit of research has lead to a bit better understanding of Nancy R. and how saying No is contagious.
Anyway Looking up Just Say No, and understanding that the Republican Party has fully embraced the Nancy, doe eyed, Reagan, I was curious as to just when it went viral. It has infected all leaders of all the parties for the past 25 years. Perhaps a new generation will...nah...
Most times Ideals, political in particular, begin much like a beautiful woman, and all are in love with her. Time passes and now she is an old, sunken, wrinkled husk creeping toward the grave and no one can accept that reality. Such is life.
The analogy works for a handsome man, think Rock Hudson.
NO!
ReplyDeleteMr. Charleston...I always thought you were a Republican.
ReplyDeleteJust as with Sarah Blubbersucker, I almost couldn't bear to look at the woman. I thought she was quite hard looking, not as hard and cold as Barbara Bush, perhaps, but hard nevertheless. Her smile seemed pasted on, but maybe that was the actress part of her persona.
ReplyDeleteI do agree, the no attitude started right there with the Reagans. I wouldn't give you spit for either one of them.
I just don't know what to say to this...
ReplyDeleteExcellent comment, Walking Man.
