I've seen two time losers running everywhere
Shouting and screamin', "I was never there!"
With their hands in the air
Hands in the air
I've seen bad news messengers avoiding kings
Cheating spouses twisting their rings
With their hands in the air
Oooh, got their hands in the air
As guilty as the wind out on the sea
Affecting who we are and who we'll be
There's a desperation, a real despair
Even the good people are starting to declare
I've got my hands in the air
Ah my hands are in the air
They're surrendering, they're giving in
They'll do anything not to go through this again
They've got their hands in the air
Ooh, their hands in the air
And they're sinking in the quicksand like a stone
Broken to the marrow of the bone, oh
The dealers are dividing up their tips
The gamblers, they're all cashin' in their chips
There's a man in the middle of a parking lot
Wondering which way he should go
There's a star on the horizon
Sinking low, low
All you death wish addicts, you corrupters of truth
You killers of the spirit, you marauders of youth
Get your hands in the air
I want to see your hands in the air
If you're selling these lies, these impossible dreams
You can keep on washin' but you'll never get clean
Get your hands in the air
Let me see your hands in the air
-- Bob Seger
An ode to Obama and a goad to the rest of us.

Posted by: LaZrtx at August 22, 2014 12:42 PMThat arms-in-the-air picture is a despicable way of promoting use of underarm deodorants. Justice would be better served by taking some thoughtful minutes in one's armchair and out of one's armpit.
As Lamont Cranston reminds us, "What evil lurks in the hearts of men, the Shadow knows." He learned that skill in the Orient. Likewise, we need to re-orient ourselves to recognize the deadly circus of "It's never my fault."

Posted by: grace at August 22, 2014 11:03 PMMy uncle Louie Lozko, we all called him "Letsgo Lozko", he raised bantam chickens.
He never lost one minute of sleep wonderin' at the way things might have been.
"A clear conscience makes a soft pillow" he usta say.
WOAH! Is somebody sayin' that "The more things change, the more they stay the same."?
Wait, did even The Grateful Dead have such an "All Fall Down" moment?
I'll go with The Rolling Stones at Altamont for five hundred, Alex.
