"The only way to be happy, is to give happy."
Leadership, economics, and politics have been so thick on this blog for a while now I can't help acting upon impulse to bring you a little poetry. One of my favorites is Leonard Cohen. This is a rendition of one of his songs performed by none other than Bon Jovi. I hope you enjoy this little radical departure from the norm for this site! Consider this your art class for the day!
Chris,
That was lovely. Thanks for sharing it.
I first heard it in the movie “Shrek,” when Shrek had lost Fiona and Donkey, and his life was back to what he’d always called “normal.” The whole scene, and song clip, were so sad and so beautiful. (I believe they used Bon Jovi’s version in the movie, too.) Thank you for letting us “Shrek” fans hear the whole thing.

By the way;
WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY!
Don’t forget to mark your calendars. As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslims and to demonstrate they think its okay to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.
Be good to throw some pork dogs on the BBQ just for extra support.
God bless America!
It is your patriotic duty to participate. If you don’t, you’re a terrorist-sympathizing, lily-livered coward and are in the position of posing as a national threat.
