Word in Context:
And the prince or nobleman must be a very stingy curmudgeon, to be sure, if, at least, when his own dinner was over, he would not bid them welcome to the broken victuals from the table.Tanglewood Tales by Hawthorne, Nathaniel



I can't hide, no
On the mantle
I'm not sad
Until I'm home

It's the season
I'm all reason
I have seen
All I have grown

Sheared at the seams
Cheat on me
And not seen
At the seams

I'm a lender
I'm a planter
I put something
In the garden

In the handle
On the mantle
I met Santa
I met God

I'm a lady
Can you save me?
It's the sulfur
I have grown

'Tis the season
I'm all reason
I have fleas
So run on home

Warning this video may be offensive to Liberals who love Obama. I do not hate the man. I also do not see him as a Nazi.

But it is important to know what the conservative voice fears when they see Obama. Some of it is valid fear, and some of it is not valid fear. But we need to open up dialogue to create a country where both the liberal and the conservative can iron out differences.
