The Tent Show has recieved a very kind mention in the Fledgling Blogger Watch at Robert's Virtual Soapbox.   May XueMotL, Lord of Blogs increase his referers tenfold!    BTW, I think you're wrong about Dean tho', Robert.  I heard the Governor speak at the Human Rights Committee dinner in Oct. 2001;  in his speech Dean radiated sincerity and conviction and rhetorically can strike sentences together and make a thought.  Makes me remember listening to Clinton stump in Denver in '92, and thinking "He can do it. He can beat Bush."  I believe Dean has the plan, the chops, and the legs to go the distance.  My wife (the political activist in the family) thinks that Dean is gambling that he can unite the various factions in opposition to Bush, bring out people who haven't been voting, and assemble a majority to beat the core Bush League voters.  But I'd vote for Kerry, too. 11:21:50 PM    comment []

Grendel's Laundry List:  Readings for Sunday, July 13         SAYINGS FROM   The Protocols of the Dancing Elders of the Seventh Day Atheist Aztec Baptist Synod   A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes   There is a music which underlies all things.  We dance to the tunes all our lives, though our living ears never hear the music which guides and moves us. Anon. Dancing Elder   A child sings before it speaks, dances almost before it walks, music is with us from the beginning. Elder Pamela Brown   A day that is not danced is a day that is not lived.  I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance. Elder Nietzche   To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking. Elder Agnes De Mille   When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then no clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from the lack of skill in dancing. Elder Moliere   I am absorbed in the magic of movement and light. Movement never lies.  Dance is the hidden language of the soul.   Elder Martha Graham   If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it. Elder Isadora Duncan   While I dance I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole. That is why I dance. Elder Hans Bos   Dancing is an art that imprints the soul. It is with you every moment, it expresses itself in everything you do. Elder Shirley Maclaine   On with the dance, let the joy be unconfined, is my motto; whether there's any dance to dance or any joy to be unconfined. Elder Mark Twain   Dance is not an answer. Dance is a question. "Yes!" is the answer.   Dance as if no one is watching.  Sing as if no one is listening.  Love as if you have never been hurt.   Anon. Dancing Elder   If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be in your revolution. Elder Emma Goldman   I just put my feet in the ground and move them around.  Elder Fred Astaire     8:31:31 PM    comment []
