Over the Coming Fiscal Cliffs - Everybody Knows - Leonard Cohen
 |
| Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied |
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of calvary
To the beach of malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of calvary
To the beach of malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Senator Tim Scott Encourages All Fatherless Kids to Take Chick-fil-A Sandwiches, Candy and Conservative Ideas from Strangers / Mentors
 |
| You can call me Tim, or you can call me Timothy or you can call me Senator... |
Tea Party Caucus House member Tim Scott just got a
chance to fill part of Heritage Foundation President/Senator Jim DeMint’s South
Carolina Senate seat's unexpired term. He is one of them “good” republicans in the South
Carolina Tea Party. Wink. Nod. If ya all know what I mean.
Chik-fil-A secular mentor values = imagined holier than
thou Krisitian values. Hay-men.
Watch and learn. One day you too get can get a million dollar a year job at the Heritage Foundation and it all starts with a juicy free Chick-fil-A filled bun from a stranger/mentor.
One day he came down to the movie theater and slid a Chick-fil-A sandwich across the desk. John was smart enough to know that food is a good way to start a conversation with a kid who likes to eat ... which probably means all kids. What a guy!
Over the course of three or four years, John transformed my way of thinking, which changed my life. It was interesting because the lessons that John was teaching me were maybe simple lessons, but they were profound lessons..
By another account, it was a bag of Chick-fil-A sandwiches that turned Tim Scott’s life into the tea-bagger he is today. A story too good to be true seems to grow and grow with each telling.
Validation only through the testimony of white folk in South Carolina??? A Southern Tradition.
Moniz took a bag of sandwiches to the theater one day and began mentoring Scott, who was struggling to stay in school.
Moniz’s Christian-based lessons on life and business provided the high-schooler with direction that, 30 years later, Scott credited with helping lead him to the U.S. Senate.
“At the time, we don’t know who we’re influencing and what they might do with their lives,” said Moniz’s widow, Janice. “God put him in that theater.”
