Indeedy so,

and I want you to know

’tis been a great pleasure

to witness your wit.

Your friendship’s a treasure,

each singular bit,

your humor it floors me, LOL!

Your wisdom enhances this most-competent crowd.

Where everyones’ different, some quiet, some loud,

but it’s the “up and the doing” which make me most proud.

On balance, I think we’re all very lucky,

having found many friends who all are quite plucky.

What say you libby?

As I wax here all tribby?

May all your days be serene and full,

‘cuz our work’s, all cut out, it’s for the long pull.

You are another who walks in my mind,

imagining the future, we all hope to find.

Well, I better stop,

before I go, over the ‘top’ …

Thanks, libby.

To the Good Dr. Suess,

I acknowledge my dues.

And to you, my dear Mr. Why,

I say, respectfully,

“Let’s both have a try!”

You’ve mastered the knack

and I’ll give it a whack!

Should we succeed

in stopping this deed …

We’ll be so well-primed

with syllabical rhyme

mayhap we’ll tackle

far bigger crimes.

And last, but not least,

to meet you …

I am, it’s the truth, very much pleased.

;~D

Sounds a little like the Good Dr. Seuss -
Your tongue set to wagging like the arse of a goose.
If you could enthrall the Dem Senators with your versical rhymes
We could minimize FISA with Feingold and Feinstein.

Well.. I guess we now know against whom we have been waging the War on Terror for the last eight years.

Congress has asked the Dept of Homeland Security and the State Dept to stop classifying Nelson Mandela as a terrorist.

but won’t this decision be appealed and isn’t there a chance the next court will find for the administration, and if not, then finally the supreme court?

I know we have had some success in these cases but it’s always rough with alito, scalia and roberts on the court
