It's another
Friday. This one happens to be the last one for this month. It lands on
September 27, 2013. Here's some things that have been said about Friday: "
The golden child of the weekdays. The superhero of the workweek. The welcome wagon to the weekend. Thursday is only a place holder awaiting your arrival. While coffee does make my mornings, Friday, you make my week worth doing." And, I'm sure there are many more that reflect upon these same sentiments. There's the story about the fellow who made a decision on Friday. It was payday so at the end of the day he cashed his check and spent the weekend with his buddies. He had not informed his wife about this escapade. When he arrived home she met him at the door and screamed at him for two hours and ended by asking him how he would like it if he didn't see her for a few days. He told her that would be fine with him. By Thursday of the next week the swelling had gone down enough for him to see his wife a little out of the corner of one eye. Bad joke? I agree but it does play off that genre of husband-wife humor and someone out there may even have a faint smile after reading it. And, as I see it, we need any and all smiles, anywhere we can get them. Within reason, of course.
One final thought about the more than 20 hour speech given by Senator Ted Cruz in the US Senate Chamber. The media. They have called this man every name in the book. They have painted him as a mentally disturbed obstructionist whose only purpose in life is to gum up the works. Flashback. State Senator Wendy Davis stood and delivered a 13 hour filibuster in the Texas Senate in August that ran out the clock on changes that would have increased requirements for abortion providers. She became a superstar darling of the mainstream media. She was feted on late night talk shows and did a victory tour on every news program on TV. They want her to run for governor, (which it sounds like she is doing), and maybe even president. Meanwhile, the Texas legislature promptly reconvened and passed the restrictions. Everyone knew that she couldn't stop this from happening, but her, in her pink tennis shoes, became an icon for taking a stand for the media's version of American values. Ted Cruz was also up against an impossible task. But, he stood on principle against what he believes is a healthcare disaster in the making, and he did so as provided for by the rules of the US Senate. Yet, a woman who wants no restrictions on taking away the lives of babies is promoted as the greatest thing since sliced bread, while Senator Cruz is portrayed as an anarchist. Check it out. See if I am right or wrong. We are living in an upside down world.
The liberal media are now responding by attempting to disprove their bias and in justifying the differences in coverage. One major news source said that Senator Cruz received over 400 more actual stories in news outlets than State Senator Davis. How hilarious! With 99.9% defaming him, it's no wonder they ran more stories. Folks, they really do believe we are dumb. No. I am not a Cruz supporter. I actually voted for his opponent. But, I do support his right to take a principled stand against something he believes is harmful to the American people. Think about it. They actually believe people will buy into their overwhelming negative and demeaning reporting and somehow, based on the sheer number of stories, this will prove they are fair and balanced. Check it out. I, for one, wonder if they actually write that kind of stuff with a straight face. Okay. I need to take a time out, count to ten, about a dozen times, and then move on to another subject. Meanwhile, you just take this little rant for what it's worth and go out and have yourself a great day, a wonderful Saturday, and a reflective Lord's Day Sunday. I'll see if I can do that as well, that is, as soon as the smoke coming out my ears dissipates enough so that I can see again. Take care and may God bless each one. Amen. ....More later.
