Ford Farewell... dressing the stage for Democrats in '07

Another former President laid to rest. And of course, the attention paid to the "healing of a nation" still sticks in my throat as I listened to the words of praise for this man who stood on the national stage for so short a period of time. Imagine.... the only man to serve in both the highest offices of this nation, purely because the men who held those positions were such utter crooks and thieves! Amazing.......
How convenient that we can reflect upon this so called "healing" at this particular time in history! Or is that my 60's cynicism flashing me back to reality once again? Is this the stage being set to face the Democrats in a few days, to remind them of the dangers of impeachment and what that would do to this nation? Imagine.... such an UnChristian like thing to bring up, impeachment! We just had numerous sermons on how sinful such a thing would be!

Buffalo Springfield
For What It's Worth
Stephen Stills, 1966

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down

One of my favorite songs. It keeps getting more appropriate day by day.
