Good morning, Everyone!
 
Here follows “A Tale of a Post.”
 
Guys, I had intended to post yesterday the piece that is presented below.  I wanted to place it on the new open thread (on C4P).
 
But no new open thread came … for hours and hours and hours.
 
Now we know why: The shocking loss of our Brother-in-Arms, Andrew Breitbart.  I am going to post the text verbatim as I had intended to twenty-four hours ago.  Perhaps it is even more applicable now, with the shock of the sad and dolorous news we have absorbed.
 
We must live as never before these following words …
 
We must, IMHO, engrave them on our HEARTS, just as they are engraved on our COINS:
 
IN GOD WE TRUST.
 
God bless!!!
 
Post intended for yesterday:
 
My Dear Friends in Sarah,
 
Happy Thursday to you all!!
 
I have a few thoughts to share with you this morning about the twisting and spinning and whirling of events in recent months that, in their disconcerting vicissitudes, have alternately encouraged us (e.g., the Indianola speech of last 3 September), then discouraged us (e.g., the announcement of last 5 October), then again lifted us up and fired us with zeal (the CPAC speech on her birthday), then cast us down and disheartened us (last Tuesday’s primary results).
 
I believe that isolated events reveal their full and fated significance only in relation to each other and in relation to the whole of which they are a part.
 
Let us take as an illustration of this truth the isolated letters:
 
S …
A …
R …
A …
H …
 
What does an “S” by itself signify?  Nothing.  The same is true with “A” and “R,” etc.
 
But when they are taken together, a living “soul” is breathed into and bestowed upon the conjunction and unity of these letters.  By themselves, as isolated and individual entities, the letters are like a mere dead corpse or an exsiccated, lifeless skeleton.  Taken in living and vibrant RELATION to each other, they arise and breathe forth the vigorous and vital and beautiful name of the Lady of the North Country, our dear … SARAH!!!!!
 
So it is with isolated events.  We may not perceive the plenitude of their meaning and significance, but the Lord does.
 
The following analogy is imperfect, but perhaps we can compare the liquid and limpid sounds of the vowels and of some of the smoother consonants to the bright, happy events in our lives and in the life of our nation, and the harsher-sounding and grimmer consonants to the difficult and dangerous times and events.
 
BUT, taken together, taken in a Divine Unity, these sounds and letters coalesce to form and constitute the words, the sentences, the paragraphs, the pages, the chapters of the Divine and Eternal Volume that the Divine Author is writing in our lives and in our times.
 
That Sarah (and McCain) could “lose” to obama in 2008, and that we have had to endure over three years of the dangerous and disgraceful “presidency” of this person seems incomprehensible, perhaps, to us.  But we cannot perceive the providential Book that He is penning and composing for us and for our age.
 
So the announcement of last 5 October, so Romney’s win in Michigan the other day, etc. can be discouraging, but who knows where it will all lead, what fate The Lord is spelling out for us?
 
We must, IMHO, accept the “letters” of recent events as being elements of the “words” that are being written out for us and for our land by the ETERNAL WORD.
 
Meanwhile, as we await His final verdict on the Year of Grace 2012, and on coming years, let us, my brothers and sisters, persevere in sending up prayers for, and good “vibes” to, our dear Sister of the Great Land.  Let us, as I have said before, constitute ourselves as the “Spiritual Secret Service Agents” for a unique and special Warrior Lady, who bears and carries a Mantle of Fate as dangerous as it is glorious; as weighty as it is exalted; as terrible as it is beautiful!!
 
God bless you all always!!
 
DEO VOLENTE, SARAH 2012!!!

Good morning, all.  I of course can’t vouch for Obama, but I do take small issue with Firelight today: one could indeed be a veteran golfer without having cheated.

As to the cheating in MI, I knew we didn’t want Anuzis to be the RNC chair–not that Priebus has particularly distinguished himself.

Weren’t the revelations from the sheriff’s press conference yesterday fun?

And I’m still in shock at the loss of Andrew Breitbart.

Mornin’ comrades. Thunderstorms and tornado warnings on deck for me all day. Just hope the power stays on so I can work. I don’t have time for a tornado. I went out at 5:00 to walk, got 40 min. in before I was nearly drowned in a thunderstorm.

Absolutely devastated over losing Andrew Breitbart. I was in a funk all day yesterday, and still am today. I saw the notice from the Bigs on Twitter very early, but ignored it as some kind of clever stunt or satire to read later. When it finally hit that this was no prank, it literally knocked the wind out of me. All I can say is, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’, pray for his family and friends, and vow to help carry on his fearless work.

Love the in your face Game Change rebuttal video! Brilliantly done and a grand mal body blow to the merchants of smear. They know not what they do, but are about to find out — big time.

Got phone polled yesterday afternoon re: the TN primary on Tuesday. I said I was undecided, didn’t like any of the goobers running, but that I definitely wouldn’t vote for Romney. If the polls here are to believed, Santorum will take it handily, but who knows? I’ll either write Palin in or vote for whoever will do the most damage to Romney.

Well, I need to hit the showers and fire up the Keurig. It’s probably going to be a 4 K-Cup morning. Y’all be careful out there today and do something good for the cause.

Good morning! Perhaps I need to clean my glasses, but the second time I watched the SarahPAC “Game Change” video, the more it looks like a campaign kick-off video (as did the President’s Day video).

The sound bites chosen from her debate with Biden and from her convention speech were very carefully chosen to clearly define her as the people’s candidate. The emphasis on huge, enthusiastic crowds was very telling as well. Perhaps the game is about to change. Stay tuned.

Thank you for the roundup and the women’s history note, Cru, but where are the anecdotes about dogs and coyotes?

My sister got me Andrew Breitbart’s book for my birthday a couple months ago, and I decided to start reading it last night. The first three chapters were quite interesting. He is irreplaceable, but he left a huge legacy behind that will continue for a long time.
