How surprised would you be if I told you today’s title and
coda were unpublished lyrics from Where Everybody Knows Your Name, usually called
the theme from the television show, Cheers.
They were in the original song, just NOT in the TV version used as the theme. True
story and another example of Ruth being stranger than Bridget in terms of the
real, surreal and cereal which fill our lives.
I’m doing the perky, smiley routine today to keep me from
scowling as I read about Mohammed Emwazi, more infamously known as Jihadi
John. I make no pretense of being ‘enlightened’ when it comes to my hopes for
retribution, swift, soon and sudden, for Jihadi and his buddies and I certainly
offer no apologies for a desire for the revenge I feel.
Not that Mo loses any sleep over my anger-it’s the
legions of infidels, armed to the nines, that I’m sure he’s more concerned
about especially since everybody now knows his name.
You sow the wind, you reap
the whirlwind and your actions in attempting to hasten the end of the world
will result ultimately and finally in only ending your world, which turns out may be exactly what you are praying for..
