Happy Birthday Wishes__and Who Is Emperor of the Universe?
Hillary Clinton turns 70 today! Wish her a happy birthday (if you're so inclined) and write up a candidacy speech for your own head of government campaign.
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Hillary. I am amazed to discover that you failed the D.C. Bar Exam way back when (I really had thought you too had been a Rhodes scholar. In another probability.) I express gratitude that you and others targeted by pipe bombs this week are still alive and flourishing. Politics is rough, and getting rougher.
William Blake for Emperor of the Universe
Stephen Hawking for Vice President of Research and Development
I posted on October 21 that William Blake ought to be Emperor of the Universe. Still going with that one. Stephen Hawking I choose because he is the single highest I.Q. I can think of (in this era of increasing loss of intelligence and downplaying of intellect, I.Q., use of intelligence, education, and learning are really important to me—and always have been.)
Now as for Candidacy Speeches:
Please. Did Emperor Ming campaign? I think not.
Since I have self-appointed Mr. Blake as Emperor of the Universe, no campaign speech is necessary. He just is.
October 26 is National Pumpkin Day!!!
I do love Pumpkins, Jack o' Lanterns. For decades I refused Pumpkin Pie, but I love the scent of Pumpkin. I get really excited along about September about the Concept of Pumpkin (think Plato) and one of my favourite scents purchased through my daughter the Scentsy Consultant is “Farmstand Pumpkin.”
In honor of National Pumpkin Day
[sound of resounding cheers and the clatter of Pumpkins knocking together to clap]
I bring you some lovely Pumpkin tweets:
