When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way ...
I'm catching bits and pieces of CNN/MSNBC today and I just heard Nora O'Donnell say, "You want Hillary Clinton on your side if you're in a knife fight" ... What the F???? I've heard all this tough talk all day today. What are we in Westside Story or something???

I just couldn't help but thinking about the Jet Song in West Side Story. I wonder who is Tony? Who's Maria? Riff? Anita? Bernard? Officer Krupke? etc. For all of you young people, you can find it in you tube.

Jet Lyrics-
When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin' day.

When you're a Jet,
If the spit hits the fan,
You got brothers around,
You're a family man!

You're never alone,
You're never disconnected!
You're home with your own:
When company's expected,
You're well protected!

Then you are set
With a capital J,
Which you'll never forget
Till they cart you away.
When you're a Jet,
You stay a Jet!

1. Yes, weren't we fighting them over there so we wouldn't have to fight over here?
Or is this supposed to prepare us for Denver? We are talking about the position of President of the U.S., not the local boxing club, for heaven's sake. When was the last time we expected to see our president "get down and dirty"? Expected to see--or wanted to see??

3. Exactly ... what is the media up to?
Always trying to influence the masses. I think they want to see a real fight at the convention then there is something "exciting" for them to drone on and on about.

2. Personally I'd rather have Barack Obama on my side
so the knife fight can be averted! The MSM bobbleheads are sure a blood thirsty group of hyenas!

4. Blood thirsty is true!
I see this weird shift in wording like they are trying to egg this crap on. I'd be happy with either Barack or Hillary in my corner or both. :)

6. or this one
There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!

Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!
