George W. Bush, whom I go out of my way to dis daily; probably thanks his God daily for 911. His ignorance may have been his involvement, and he has certainly used it to feather his nest,but I doubt he knew anything. Karl Rove wanted to keep him on vacation, as not to show his idiocy to the public.

Very well-written, researched commentary. Yes, those were the years I joined MoveOn.org. Let's censor his behavior, and let the country move on.

I'd rather the President fool around with the help a little, then pick fights without rationalization. On deck, Iran.

Good job.

Peace, Cliff

Very well-written, Lobelia, I have used your namesake herb, successfully, on many occassion. I understand your angst. My contention is; that abortion should not be a political issue, like gay marriage, it's none of the governments' business. I love Planet Earth, so therefore, I must vote for Kerry.

You put much careful thought and did thorough research to reach your decision. I commend you for that.

In Peace, Cliff

Review of Cha-ching!  
Review by Cliff
Rated: E | (4.5)
Of course you should be happy being you, that's a good thing. This is an interesting genre. I really don't know an iambic pentameter from a hockey puck, but this was good. You said a lot in a very short poem. That is certainly a talent.

Keep writing.

Review of Plastic!  
Review by Cliff
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
I going to rate this here and then I'll comment on your other site. I like this concept. We are getting overwhelmed by plastic and that is not good. I know most of it will break down in a few thousand years so I
shouldn't worry, our government doesn't, and they're here to protect us. Vegetable oil and plastic do not mix. A toxic chemical is released. Yes try to find it packaged in glass. Are we bonkers here.

Good write, David--A plastic wife dosen't sound all bad.

Peace, Cliff

Thank you for the much needed lesson. There is soooo
much I have to learn before I will be comfortable
moving around here. These newsletters are an excellent
venue for gaining the needed expertise. I may even
attempt entering a contest soon.

Thanks again,

Thank you for the informative article. I will get busy
on a story tomorrow morning.

It was very good of you to share this with us. Now if
only everyone would share my political leanings. Ha!

I'm heading to your port as soon as I finish this.

Thanks again.

This is a very well-written essay. You have done a
great job of expressing your feeelings and deep thoughts.

You stated that you believe everyone on earth has a
soul. We have killed over 10,000 Iraqi civilians so
if we're keeping score, surely we are ahead by now.

Thank you.

Peace, Cliff

Did you leave us hanging like that on purpose? In your
teaser you asked; Will Christina be saved in time?

We never learned the answer to that question.

Pretty good story here. A little editing would bring
out the anxiety.
"She heard a splash. "now I an going to get eaten.

Should be: Now I am going to be eaten.

It's hard to accept the premise that someone is unaware
of how they arrived in the middle of the ocean.---
Unless, its a dream sequence.

Keep Writing

Review of Alone in dungeon  
Review by Cliff
Rated: 13+ | (3.0)
Well, who is he? Your leaving us in the dark here, ya'
know.

Pretty well-writter story here as far as it goes. The
girl goes through some pretty serious stress, then
ends up dancing with a young man in a tux.

Your descriptions were good, you could probably make it
more interesting by breaking the paragraph up a little.

If you re-read it a few more times you will be able to
see how you can help your story.

What a well-written, warm little story. You did a
wonderful job of describing the events from the little
dog's viewpoint.

I really liked; "Sasha curled up nose to tail awash in
misery." ---Been there, done that.

This was just a cutsey tale that ended so "dog gone"
good.

Review of 1mm tall  
Review by Cliff
Rated: E | (2.5)
Gee, what an interesting way to start your day. What
happened? How did the person get so small.

You have quite a bit of editing to do here yet. Several
mis-spelled words, along with punctuation and grammati-
cal errors.

Just go through it carefully and you will see what you
should correct.

Keep writing, it gets easier.

I'm glad you got caught. That was a very good story;
with a moral, besides, good write.

Yes, timing is everything. Alas, mine has always been
as bad as yours was. It's cool to pass on live's lessons, do ya' think they heed?

Geez, is this a true story? Oh, I think you made this
up. Very well written, a few missed punctuations, but
darn good.

You do a really good job of writing in this genre, I
could never accomplish it.

Keep writing.

Review of Daddy's Toolbox

oh, that was a precious little reminiscence. You did
a great job of portraying your father, I feel I got to
know him a little bit.

"We were obviously had different definitions; delete
were, I thinking.

"life interruted that too, ---interupted

A real good peace of nostalgia.

Review of My Hands  
Review by Cliff
Rated: E | (4.5)
Hey, I'd like to give you a hand. This was a clever,
insightful write. I think I got to know you while you
wrote about your hands.

"Sometimes they were on their own," yes, that's very
good, "without my supervision."

Next time someone gets upset, I'm gonna blame it on my
hands.

Thanks,
Peace, Cliff

Fame and fortune, huh? Good idea, shoot for the stars.

needs some help here. Maybe, well whatever is your idea

resterant is restaurant

That's it kiddo, not gonna pick at you anymore.

A very well written personal reflection. I am sorry to
read about your brother's accident.

How did your brother resolve his angst about Nam? I
went, and I would not recommend it to others.

It is wonderful that you have maintained such a close
relationship through the years.

Oh, boy, what a jolt we took. Seems we agree, at a
time that violence and killing has become the norm.

Very good angst, it seems to be an unpopular stance,
to be against war. I wrote a little angst, called "I'm
no a number," about my kids losing their stepbrother,
in Iraq, you woulda thought I declared war on us, or
who I believed was us.

Anyway, thanks for a great, little angst.

Review of Literary Rant  
Review by Cliff
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
The reason change is slow to take in literature is no
one wants to take on the establishment. You made ex-
cellent points in your essay.

When a student is assigned an author to report on, it
usually reflects the tastes of the instructor. I have
struggled through some of the "classics," while being
absolutely enthralled by a lesser known.

I think parents should interact and open their personal
libraries to their children at a young age. Then, they
will be better prepared for life's prejudices.

Extremely provacative subject matter. Thank you for your view.

Review of School  
Review by Cliff
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hello, this was a great rant, very well thought out.
Yes, I believe laziness plays a big part in the new
train to education.

But, I also believe that there is an unprecedented
opportunity for a young educated person to go to
the limits. Anything you want to do, you can excell,
and educated writers will rule.

Well, you certainly did better than I ever have. I
have never gotten close tracking them.

Well written tale, you obviously know your way about
in the woods, so there's probably a hint of truth in
this.

Keep on writing.

No to Hurricane Frances. But first, a very well written
muse. Whenever I was asked if I played a musical in-
strument, I would reply, "Gee, I don't even smoke well."

Seriously, my hats are off to all that have and use
their musical talents.

Listening, gives me my inspiration.

Very good. I bet you do write one darn good memo.

The line between a practical education and an artistic
education is very blurred in the business world.

"Education is for the individual," is a sound theory,
I can't fault that. Good muse.
