If I had a wife, wwgsd? @genesimmons: Make her–#laugh five times a day.

Either that or–

Jonesys: And now a word from our sponsor, the Duke.

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.–Gertrude Stein c. 1912
The word is the word is the word is the word is the word that you heard. #FrankieValle #FourTops #Grease #DoWop–“You missed the boat.” “Yeah, you missed the Bop.” “The Hop too.”

What kind of sanction?

Look it up on your rule of law smartphone.

It has a laser!

No, rational exuberance.

Why shouldn’t our lives be rational?

So that those that prey on us can take advantage of our confusion, ignorance, impatience or lack of fortitude?

Yes, you’re getting warmer.

They used to trot out Greenspan. I wonder if @MadMoneyOnCNBC was asked to trot? @KennyPolcari Bringing the rational exhuberance to a stop. Take the irrational put it in a bowl with the rational. Mix. Rational always wins in the end. “When?” “If I knew that…” @BloombergTV

Hairy Success: “I don’t know what it is but I’ve got it.” #Starpower. #KatherineHepburn & @POTUS #Hairstyle

I could see @donlemon teaching this course. #Suave and #debonaire. He could use #negativethinking to expose outmoded cultural manners. @ChrisCuomo “What am I, chopped liver?” “Your hair–my wife watches to see how your hair will be at the start of every show. I don’t notice so.”

Grand bargain? Equalize Our People? Cuts to Affirmative Action Protocols? Modify #Eggshellskull rule and philosophy of accommodation by right? #Citizen, PR, Visa, Visitor, Undocumented. #EqualProtection “Due process!” @AlanDersh Burden of the American Citizen is outweighs diluted rights in a diluted world which favors the so-called disfavored so that now, dialectically, I am the diluted, I am the disfavored by statistical mandate. But see cases disallowing ratios: Bakke (1976).

#EdgarCayce: Today’s Dreams Are Tomorrow’s Answers? #Dream–tic up–net positive. “Positive vibration man.”–#BobMarley #GoodVibrations #TheBeachBoys “They got it the second time around.” A & R Man helped immensely. It was media–what was ‘going on’ in California.

A heroin addict called me a ‘crackpot’, then he died. A woman who dated my housemate mocked me and called me a name after I warned her about chp near the freeway entrance of the bar on State St. Six months later she got a DUI.

and then there’s pregnancy: think before you spend.

#IntegrityAgainandAgainandAgainandAgainandAgain.

@maddow: amount, complexity and diversity of news feed[s] require sobriety to be at one’s best. #QuinnMartin #zeitgeist @JonesysJukebox “I like #dreams.” CliffRichard: So do I. I dreamt I was a Sir. I emphatically pronounced my #integrity to my country, and I have passed muster.

Invest In Yourself. Ask, Seek, Knock. #Revelation

WhyintheWrld562 I have a new theory. @thedavidcrosby helped me conceive of it. We “invest” ourselves in ideas. It’s part of our nature. But sometimes the attachment to the investment is no longer a “valid” or valuable attachment. re: party or stock or possessions @MadMoneyOnCNBC
