By the power not vested in me as the Not-so-Wise-Man-of-Oz, I hereby duly anoint your comment, most unofficially and completely unscientifically, as: THE COMMENT OF THE DAY - aka COD *sigh*

Very thought-provoking poem, Gershon. Deep ruminations bubbling to the surface. Mighty fine poetry. Love and joy always.

Yup. Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. Politics -- the art of the double bubble-cross. LOL. Thank you, Freddie, for the read and the write. Joy to you, my friend. ~Gershon

Yes, sometimes there is...Since my childhood, five Illinois governors have received long prison sentences. Rod Blagoevich, in fact, is still serving the last 1/2 of a 14-year sentence which three separate appeals have not persuaded the State Supreme Court to reduce. Appreciate the visit, Michelle! :)
