<p>Gave me a smile for the day!</p>

<p>very funny FS.</p>

4

<p>And I guess I’m stuck in the middle. </p>

<p>I hope you know that’s a song lryic. Steely Dan I believe.</p>

5

<p>^^Not quite. That lyric is from Stuck in the Middle With You, by Stealers Wheel.</p>

6

<p>well, of course I know, silly. </p>

<p>Scipio is exactly right. Stealer’s Wheel.</p>

<p>Though I do not believe they had the political intentions here exhibited in the op.</p>

<p>“^^Not quite. That lyric is from Stuck in the Middle With You, by Stealers Wheel.”</p>

<p>Sheesh, c’mon I KNOW the lyrics already, it was close enough. </p>

<p>It’s not like it’s “lock the cat’s box, lock the cat’s box.”. ( the Clash) </p>

<p>I was trying to be nice to someone I disagree with on sooo many things, it’s a new year and all.</p>

8

<p>Geez, and all this time I thought it was “Steelers” Wheel, like the Pittsburgh football team.</p>

9

<p>We don’t use the “Steelers” word around here in the greater Seattle area. Unless we use the term “fixed” or “poorly officiated” or “how can Matt Hassleback be called for a cut block while making a tackle on an interception?” </p>

<p>Gee, I wonder if I’ll get over it? We’ll see next weekend.</p>

<p>I thought the OpEd piece was poorly written, lacked focus, and gave little information. I say this because I just listened to a wonderful interview of Mr. O’Rourke on NPR. And, while I often don’t agree with Mr. O’Rourke, I found the radio show fascinating- his discussion of his trip to China and his new book.</p>

<p>Just because the WSJ hires a writer, does not mean the writer is actually very good. And Mr. Rago a Dartmouth grad at that.</p>

<p>PS- Mr. Hewitt is pretty much a rightie…</p>

11

<p>Clearly, liberals have a much better sense of humor than conservatives…</p>

<p>and just for fun, who knows where this lyric comes from:</p>

<p>“…they put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus people bought them.”</p>

12

<p>^^ The Last Resort by The Eagles</p>

13

<p>who created the word “Ponatehus” of love so the lryic would work?</p>

14

<p>^^If you mean “the pompatus of love” that would Steve Miller from his song The Joker. If you really meant “Ponatehus,” then I have no idea.</p>

15

<p>Yeah, I keep trying to hear “prophetess” in the Joker but it still comes out “pompatus” in my ear.</p>

16

<p>Hey it was 2 in the morning, the blower and dehumidifer were running [storm damage] I could sleep and never ever, not once said I could spell. I have to head out for a business meeting I don’t to go to so I’m taking a few seconds.</p>

<p>just so it’s out in the open…NEVER TRUST MY SPELLING.</p>

17

<p>^^Hey, no problem. Even the best spell check programs won’t catch a misspelling of “pompatus.”</p>

18

<p>“pompatus of love” I love that word and phrase although it wasn’t really a word. </p>

<p>Maybe it can join “truthiness” this year. Retro word.</p>

19

<p>Pomp and circumstance of love…?</p>

20

<p>“Pomp and circumstance of love…?”</p>

<p>I think you’ll have to ask Steve Miller. I think it was more having to do with finding a rhyming word.</p>
