     Folks, lets not forget the words of this orator who is "right besides 
himself":                       (courtesy NEW YORK TIMES)

          "My friends, even in tough times,
           these poeple are with us.  They don't
           read Adam Smith or Edmund Burke, but
           they came from the same schoolyards and
           playgrounds and towns as we did.  They
           share our beliefs and convictions, our
           hopes and our dreams."
           ...
          "And, we need to reconnect with them.
           We need to let them know we know they're
           hurting.  They don't expect miracles,
           but they need to know we care."

     Such a kind, caring and thoughtful soul!

     Amazing, how those sentences, when standing by themselves on the
phosphors of the screen can take on a whole new meaning.

     Don't you just want to embrace him for his concern over OUR hurt!  After
all, he did grow up with us, in the same schoolyards, playgrounds and town as
we did.  He knows us so well -- he could never turn away from a friend in need
of a bit of support!

     DOESN'T HE DESERVE AN HONORARY DEGREE in Social Work!

     We ought to find a pair of Siamese Twins who can give this man the sort of
two faced kiss-off that he truly deserves.  Where are Blaine & Antoinne when
you really need them?

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	       	And we grew up playing in your schoolyard!
 
		We're queer,
		We're here,
		And we were once friends!

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	        And we once cared about each other!

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	        And we never hated anyone!

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	        And you don't respect us anymore!

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	        And we ain't gonna hide!

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	        And we've got love on our side!

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	        Can you see the rising tide!

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	        And Roy Cohn wants a bride!

		We're queer,
		We're here,
	        And God is on YOUR side?

		We're queer,
		We're here,
                And we're all gonna cheer!	        	       


P.S.  Guess who is going on a vacation in the woods?
      And coping without a newsfeed.
      But I will be spending time with an e-mail buddy!
