Thoughts Over Catnip

Hello My Dear Friends! Well, we've made it through another week. As I look out the window right now, the sun is shining and it's snowing. Must be November in Central New York. CBS correspondent Lara Logan apologized this morning for the much disputed "60 Minutes" report on Benghazi that aired on October 27th. Logan, referring to their "source" for the story, said "...what we know now is that he told the F.B.I. a different story to what he told us. And, you know, that was the moment for us when we realized that we no longer had confidence in our source and that we were wrong to put him on the air". You think? Perhaps in the future, Ms. Logan, you should check your sources before you put them on the air. CBS, by the way, didn't catch their "mistake", The New York Times did.  We've made it through another Election Day. The vast majority of candidates around here ran unopposed. They must be doing a really great job.... If nothing sticks to Teflon, how do they get Teflon to stick to the pan? New York State has finally legalized casino gaming. Thank goodness. Now those dozens of casinos we've had for decades can drop the camouflage and come out of the closet! With all of the talk lately of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy (11/22/63) it got me to thinking. Presidents are usually remembered by great quotations.
JFK: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".
FDR: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself".
Ronald Reagan: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall".
Barak Obama: "We will get this website fixed"
Some moments are greater than others.
