Billie Holiday on youtube!

Hello there.
Hmmmm...
What to do, what to do...
Well, rather than get all frustrated with politics today...I think I'd like to listen to someone elses opinion. In the old days...which was not that long ago...we used to call it the blues. The frustration of everything. Whether it be your work status, your automobile status...or political grievances...and of course, your relationship status, any one of those is frustrating. But all together? That's the blues. Plain and simple.
So that is how I shall keep things today. Plain and simple.
Here is a wonderful clip, featuring Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong:

Iran wants a nuclear program...like everybody else. It's like everybody sitting in a tub of gasoline and THEY want a match stick, too...
Oh brother.
Maybe Japan ought to have a word with them instead of the U.S. Japan knows about nuclear programs. If Iran convinces them that they are not misbehaving...then maybe they won't...
