A Sweet Old Lady's Prayer
A sweet little old lady was sitting next to me in Church on Sunday, quietly praying.
“Dear Lord, this has been a tough two or three years. You have taken my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze; my favorite musician, Michael Jackson; my favorite salesman, Billy Mays; my favorite actress, Elizabeth Taylor; my favorite singer, Whitney Houston; and now, my favorite announcer, Dick Clark.
"I just wanted you to know that my favorite Blogger is 'Bernie O'Hare.'"

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Love you, Bernie. We may disagree at times, but you certainly are an icon for the Valley!
ReplyDeleteWell Bernie, you aren't my favorite blogger but I'll make an exception in this case, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou remind this "secret admirer" of yours about that old superstition that says, "what comes around, goes around"
ReplyDelete:-O
WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE A LOYAL PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT DANCING ON THE GRAVES OF DEAD GUYS
Remember, to progressive democrats, dead guys are still voters. :)
DeleteI once offered a devout looking old lady the sign of peace at Mass. She smiled and withheld her hand and said, "I don't go for that shit.". Then, she went back to her rosary. This could be your lady. Good fun. Best blog going.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that something your lady friend, pig lady would say or think or act upon?
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:09, clearly a knee-jerk listener of Glen Beck.
ReplyDeleteYeah well! It is always nice to pray for your enemies eternal salvation and Infinite peace at the right hand of God. That is as long as it occurs within the next 24 hrs.
ReplyDeleteI saw a little old lady wave to you the other day and she was using all five fingers. lol
