Noted in Passing: Zelensky is lLiving the dream
byVanderleunonMarch 15, 2022
The Ukrainian President Zelensky starring as the Ukrainian President in this Ukrainian “sit-com” from 2016. It was a hit and propelled Zelensky into the presidency much as The Assistant propelled Trump, but with much more dire results in Ukraine.

I have said for several years that comedians are more important culturally than politicians.

Comedians, actors, news anchors… what a group of crazy self important idiots we have, who deign to think that they’re important, and moral, or intelligent and well informed, that they’re capable of “leading” this nation. Ha!
Do you remember when Wm F Buckley said he would rather be governed by the first 200 names in the Boston telephone directory, than any of the politicians vying for office??
I feel the same way about actors. Considering the intelligence, morals, and political views of the current group of actors, I’d rather that random people off the streets be drafted into being actors.

All true, save for the actual comedian. Not the woke cux that call themselves comedians. The actual ones who hold a mirror up to the people, and prophecy (in the classic sense of the word).
I miss Norm MacDonald.

I do remember that bit about being ruled by the first 200 people in the phone book. And it’s now a chinch they could not do any worse than the blithering idiots we have now.
I have gone so far as to tell people that we would be better off with a bunch of seventh graders with a bare knowledge of social studies.
Personally I believe we would be better off without a gommermint at all.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them to obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

What an amazing video.
Because that Ukrainian somehow squeezed 226 rounds out of two 32 round magazines!
Wow, I guess that means someone makes “quadruple stack” 9mm Uzi mags now?

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
