Today’s Thoughts
A fantastic spring
day.
I was going to have
lunch with Mary and Mike but they headed out early for their Phx house. Next
week will be fine.
The Republicans and
their leaders keep yelling about the border crisis. Today, for the second time,
the Republicans, following their leader, have defeated a bipartisan border
bill. So tired of the hypocrisy. It is not a perfect bill, but very few, if
any, are perfect.
I must be very old
school. It seems to me that every day another well-publicized Republican will
not commit to accepting the 2024 election results. To me, it is more proof that
they are against our electoral history.
Did you Know?

Birthdays with some quotes
|
85 – Tommy Chong,
Canadian-American comedic actor 83 – Bob Dylan, American
singer-songwriter, Nobel Prize laureate 80 – Patti LaBelle, American
singer-songwriter “There is nothing more
personal than your values. What you will and won’t do to get ahead, the lines
you will and won’t cross to win, whom you will and won’t step on for personal
gain, are at the very core of your code of honor. And your code of honor determines
your character. And your character is who you are. Behind closed doors. When
nobody is watching.” 79 – Priscilla Presley, American actress “When one of Lisa’s baby
teeth fell out here, the tooth fairy left her 50 cents. Another tooth fell
out when she was with her father in Las Vegas, and that tooth fairy left her
$5. When I told Elvis that 50 cents would be more in line, he laughed. He knew
I was not criticizing him; how would Elvis Presley know the going rate for a
tooth?” 59 – John C. Reilly, American
character actor “I view my strongest
competition as myself. You’re always trying to top yourself, rather than
worrying about what other people are doing.” 57 – Eric Close, American actor 52 – Greg Berlanti, American

actor |

– Heavy D (Dwight Arrington Myers), Jamaican-American rapper (d. 2011; blood
clot) “I was in California the
first time I heard Michael Jackson wanted to record with me. I was, like,
‘Nah, no way, he’s too big, it can’t be true.’ Then I got a call from
Michael’s people at my hotel telling me he was interested. But I still wasn’t
believing it – I thought they were setting me up for a TV practical jokes
show.” |
