We here at the House of Ironical Bea...Hello, Roxie! We here at the House of Ironical Beagles are pleased to hear that the humans have returned safe and sound, while trusting that during their absence you availed yourself of every possible concession you could worm out of your dog-sitter. <BR/><BR/>We are SO not going to get into the subject of singers, stages about whom anyone in this house may or may not have gone through. However, we do note that what we have always thought of as Bobby Darin's pretty good rendition of "Mac the Knife" is far outdone by Sammy Davis, Junior. We don't know if you have ever gone through a Sammy Davis, Jr., stage, but we think we just might try it out. <BR/><BR/>We do love that happy little ditty, in just about all its forms. (Not, however, the MacDonald's ad version. Which we thought was just stoopid.)<BR/><BR/>By way of maintaining the dramatic tension for which Roxie's World is fast becoming famous, we will add that, indeed, Obama deeply disappointed many people with the FISA vote. And we would dearly love to hear an explanation from him about it. <BR/><BR/>However, the way ALL Dem. politicians are going these days, it's pretty much a sure bet that, had Clinton won the nomination, RW would in short order be looking at some vote or speech or action of hers and going, "What was she thinking?" or "What were we thinking?" or, failing that, fighting a rearguard action against those who are saying that. And Collins or someone would write an article reminding us of girlfriends we KNEW had characteristic X,Y or Z, reminding us of the DLC, and wondering why we are surprised. Put not thy faith in politicians, like the Good Book says--or ought to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-83676123658760710862008-07-12T16:13:00.000-04:002008-07-12T16:13:00.000-04:00Bobby SHERMAN, sweetie, not Bobby Darin. The form...Bobby SHERMAN, sweetie, not Bobby Darin. The former is even more execrable than the latter. Oh, and Moose also went through a Neil Sedaka stage.

While I envy them for their fervent belief in the political process, which I gave up on in 2004, most of them are all twenty-somethings that lack institutional memory; moreover, they refuse to listen to those that do. While I'm no spring chicken at thirty-seven-years-old, I'm entirely too young to sound so curmudgeonly. Now, as for the iPhone version 2.0, have you been following all of the problems related to activating the new gizmos? Even those who own the old versions and loaded the update patch are having difficulty. The iTunes site has been hammered left and right. Methinks the 2 September goal is worthy because by then Apple will have worked out most of the kinks. At least I hope so. Finally, I have Christina Aguilera's most recent album, which features "Candyman." It's not the best thing in the world, but girlfriend has lungs!<BR/><BR/>Finally, I raise you your Bobby Darin with Neil Sedaka.Geoffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357719173715772046noreply@blogger.com
