We are an imperfect lot, replete with various flaws and foibles. So, on this Friday, let me speak of a few foibles.
If patience is a virtue, does that make impatience a vice? Due diligence is predicated on taking the time to review candidates, agreements, deals, plans, research, etc. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. A reporter just got his hat handed to him by the White House press secretary for the second time in two weeks for failing to be prepared when he asked what he thought were zingers.
Ignoring the truth does not make it less true. It just means you are ignoring the truth. The Arkansas state legislature just passed a law allowing creationism to be taught as science in public schools, by a vote of 72 to 21. Really? Is next up teaching kids that dragons are dinosaurs that walked the earth the same time as humans?
Gun deaths in America annually exceed the number of gun deaths in the next twenty-three wealthiest nations combined. Since Congress is failing to act, as we hear yet again now is not the time to do anything to improve gun governance, President Biden is making some executive actions to do something. There are certain measures that the significant majority of Americans and gun owners think are reasonable. Congress, please get up off your hind end and do them. You are in my thoughts and prayers to act like parents and grandparents and not like a well-funded politicians.
Finally, we have yet one more male politician who has decided to think with a lower organ than his brain. And, what is funny is he thought he would not be discovered. Quite simply, men and women both do dumb things in the name of sexual satisfaction. Yet, male politicians seem to think they are immune to discovery like they have anti-Kryptonite suits. It should be noted that both mainstream political parties are not immune from the lower organ thinkers in their party. The question must always be – has the person’s actions damaged the integrity of the office he holds?
To sum up avoiding these foibles this Friday – be patient, be diligent, be truthful, act prudently and use that organ three feet above the other one to think with.

Many foibles at work these days. My mother asked me if I thought Chauvin would be convicted. My response: “Hard to tell. It’s America. Anything can happen.”
VJ, it is hard to tell. I did read where the police union there has several in leadership who have many black marks against their records, so there is a reason some in the union backed away from the group’s public statements. If justices is not served here, it will be a shame, in my view. The police have a hard job, but to say they are always without fault or do not have any zealous members is untrue. Keith
Very good advice, Keith! I hope those who need to learn which organ is meant to think with will get it one day.
Erika, thanks. My guess is male politicians are guilty of this world wide. Even FDR and JFK were known for the infidelity, in spite of the good things they did. Keith
I think I agree!
I suspect the majority of Arkansas Creationist voters in the state legislature do not care the proverbial two hoots about the Creationist Theory or the right for it to be taught, they are just ‘playing to the gallery’ and looking to the next election.
Nor do I think the majority of their voter base have any coherent thoughts on the subject, they just want to support it on the basis the Liberal and Democratic voter bases don’t.
Roger, no argument here. Keith
I’m not sure there is still any “integrity of the office” for them to do further damage to.
Janis, sadly you are closer to right than wrong. The ones who do give a darn need to step up. Keith
always love your posts Keith.
I so agree with you here well capped off with wisdom, integrity and the right organ to think with!👏👏👏
Thanks Cindy. I appreciate your stopping by and your comments. I enjoy your writing as well. Keith

Cindy, have a great weekend. I could not do two a day, so one will have to do. Best wishes, Keith
