Sunday Morning Silence

Ahhhh…Sunday morning. Is it me or does coffee taste better on a Sunday morning? I woke up early today and am enjoying some coffee along with quiet streets, the morning news providing a muted background noise, and the autumnal equinox making its silent appearance. Nice.

As I sit here enjoying the silence, I think how appropriate it is that this morning it was reported that the greatest mime of all time, Marcel Marceau, has passed away. The man who portrayed such muted characters as Bip the Clown has moved on to that big invisible box in the sky. A professional to the end, it has been reported that his last words were: “..............................................................”

In spite of the morning silence there is a buzz afoot. Iran’s President Alphabet is coming to America today. He’s not allowed to visit ground zero, but he will be speaking at Columbia University. This of course has folks like Bill O’Reilly and others at FOX News peeing in their pull-ups. They are outraged that the university is giving him a platform with which to spew his hate.

Am I to believe that if O’Reilly or Brit Hume had the opportunity to do an interview with the Persian Pontificator and air it on FOX that they wouldn’t drop everything and do it? Of course they would…Shut up and change your panties boys!!

Lastly, on this day that the Almighty and the NFL have made Sabbath, I leave you with the following entreaties:

May your wings be hot and you beer be cold…Lord Hear Our Prayer

May your favorite team cover the spread…Lord Hear Our Prayer

Win or lose against the Seahawks, may the Cincinnati Bengals return from Seattle without any of their players being charged with DUI, Assault, or Sexual Imposition…Lord Hear Our Prayer

Amen and Cheers!!

Will he be buried in an invisible box?

Will anyone speak at the service?

The Persian Pontificator did an interview in Iran with 60 minutes which is on tonight...

Both Dems and Reps pushed to keep him from visiting groundzero...there was little doubt he would have used the visit and footage to celebrate and congratulate the terrorists once he returned to Iran.

Cheesy: Good to see you back. Go Ducks!! I'll get over the Irsih at some point. Cheers!!

Bond: No one is allowed to talk about the details. Let alone speak ill of the dead.

Metalmom: Peace be with you my sister...and Cheers!!

Katherine: I am aware of all of that I was merely commenting on the uproar 9which I find silly) over him speaking at Columbia. Cheers!!

I'd say "The peace of the Lord be with you always" if wasn't keeping silent.

Oh wait...never mind...

TB: I didnt know if you had a show tonight so I didnt give you a shout out. Of course as we can see, this is a day of silence anyway.

Songbird: And Also With You!!

Coffee does taste better on Sundays, with pastry and the morning game.

Wait...you don't have a morning game. How do you manage when all your football games come on after noon? That's just too weird.
