Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 3/10

I made the mistake of listening to the forecast today and did not set up shop. It's now 5:43 and we still haven't seen anything but a few sprinkles. Granted, it's gloomy and nasty outside, but I could have set up shop at the viaduct. I just hope the storm doesn't extend into tomorrow afternoon.
Congratulations to the Wisconsin Republicans for showing backbone. If the majority, and not just union people, don't like the results, they can voice their disapproval at the next election. That's what Democracy is all about. It isn't about hiding when the odds are against one.
I received the following in an email. I hope it brings a smile to your face:
The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called the "Style Invitational". The requirements this week were to use the two words Lewinsky (The Intern) and Kaczynski (the Unabomber) in the same limerick. The following winning entries, remember, were printed in the newspaper.
Third place:
There once was a gal named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
'Twas "Hail to the Chief"
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.
Second place:
Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky,
"We don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski,
Since you made such a mess,
Use the hem of your dress
And please wipe that stuff off of your chinsky."
And the winning entry:
Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have known
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter
When deciding how best to be blown.
