Three AM...a Prayer and a Story

Time to get seriously funny here...somebody thinks Governor What's-her- Name is a useful fixture on the national stage...and I agree the race needs a woman principal. Someone to represent the past- to- present denial of national office to women. Frances Perkins was a woman Secretary of Labor, there is now a woman Secretary of State, members of the Supreme Court, U.S. Senators and too many Governors and Congress people to mention...ALL OF WHOM ARE MORE QUALIFIED TO BE ON THE NATIONAL TICKET THAN GOVERNOR WHAT'S- HER -NAME,...so who's on first? Is McCain still ticking and the potential second string leader of the free world is going to read up on the Bush Doctrine and the war in Iraq.

Reagan proved you don't really need a President, Bush proved we can survive the worst of them...but human nature is unpredictable, the future too...crises might develop, and that dread nuclear call at three AM[they always happen at 3 AM] and the hot line is answered by ...oh my...I'm in a sweat, what a day-mare... I dreamed that major banks failed and it rained near Houston...gasoline doubled again...and Governor What's -her -Name was answering the President's phone...pinch me quick somebody... ice water in the face...
It is truly time to pray now... Next winter, late January...Some cold Alaska morning, that we will wake up and find she is still Governor of remedial reading ... Amen
