Living In A Box

[Plaid Adder]

I don't know. Is it just me? I don't think I really want a President whose entire approach to life is based on what he learned from living in a box. I would think it might lead to better results if you based your philosophy on all the years you spent living OUTSIDE the box, after you were let out of it...what is it now, 30 years ago? 35?

I mean really. This is now officially the party of Living In A Box. George W. certainly knows about living in a box. George W.'s box is a lot more comfortable and full of people telling him how great he is, but it's just as isolated and isolating. Maybe the whole party feels like they're living in a box--locked up, caged in, the walls are closing in, and they're under siege. It would explain a lot.

let me know when it's over,

1. Dang.

Threads come and go so quickly here.

2. I thought that was Gary Sinise narrating. Though I was dyeing my hair at the time so I could be

wrong.

But, on topic, I like your analogy!

3. On PBS they identified the VO as Fred Thompson.

Whoever it was, it was damn creepy. ALso cheesy. Sort of creesy.

4. Thanks. Like I said, I had my head under my shower sprayer and to me it sounded like Gary Sinise.

I even thought to myself, "I will NEVER buy a Forest Gump DVD unless it's from ebay." :)

5. He wants to talk about living in a box?

Maybe he ought to take a trip down to Skid Row here in Los Angeles some time. His prison cell was a palace compared to the literal cardboard boxes that real people live in down there.

6. The Worst Is the Box Is All In Their Minds!

If they were in the Poverty Box, or the accompanying isolation from the world due to lack of resources, I could manage a tear and a helping hand. But when it's either mental illness or complete refusal to deal with reality, there isn't much we can do, except put a lid on them and push them into a protected corner where they can't inflict damage on children or other adults...
