I've been out of sorts of late--sometimes I get so serious and then self important and then that kills my "funny-bone" because so many others maintain their wit much better than I ( I;m taking to you two!) so sometimes I write nothing for ages. Consistency in posting and consistency in style matter in the blogworld and I'm so flatterd you both dropped by--like visiting a sickly 2nd cousin I guess, but at least you both got some metaphorical cake it seems. <BR/><BR/>Seriously though it's the self-defeating denial of personal and public reality that makes Foley's situation so sadm and so reprehensible too. I'm making fun at his expense, but he's making POLICY at EVERYONE's expense and that's a major distinction. I have some sympathy for him as non-conformist I guess, but though he couldn;t choose his sexual urges, he chose to side with those who would legislate sexuality ( and other social issues besides) and took the money of straights, gay's, bi's and everyone. <BR/><BR/>Personally. homosexuality (guys or women)interests me not one bit and I've learned that all politicians lie and I know we all make mistakes and exercise bad judgement, but Foley made a career out of lying to himself and the public and was paid out of public money for doing so! It's not the sexual urges I give a damn about, it's his duplicity that affects social policy and public expense and millions of lives over years that pisses me off!5th Estatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918749316906295703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986597.post-1159756323336066172006-10-01T22:32:00.000-04:002006-10-01T22:32:00.000-04:00Thanks for that!

I'm still laughing... what an imagination for the situation at 'hand'...it was a hard story to swallow at first...but I learned eventually not to gag on the details...he he.

They just nodded and winked and sent him on his way to play with the pages. The man is sick and they knew it and failed to do the right thing.
