Authoress Notes: I had written this songfic back in January and never got around to posting it on FF.Net. Well, here it is. I simply love it. The game is a lot of fun and I adore Josh Groban. His voice is strong and pure; it sends shivers down my spine. And this song practically screamed Aerith and Cloud. So, I hope you enjoy!

+++++[Blah] – Song Lyrics
"Blah" – Talking
+++++Her Warmth
The shallow darkness surrounded him as he walked across the grounds and up the stone steps. A cold, dark wind blew against him, his cape waving with it. The sword felt heavy against his back, but he ignored it. It was the only little comfort he carried with him. Other than that, pain and cold followed him; a stray dog tagging along and never going away. It craved and devoured the attention from him. And because of this, his anger and frustration grew, but so did the pain.
Clenching his fists, he hesitated.
[I can't understand it]
[The search for an answer is met with darker days]
Her face flashed in his mind. Her eyes, filled. They were brimming with tears and pain. At once his frustration shot up; his balled up fist slamming painfully against the stone pillar closest to him. A resounding crunch followed suit, leaving a dent buried nearly halfway through the pillar. Cracks splintered out from it, weakening it. Her face. Slowly, he pulled his hand back. It then went under his cloak, into a pocket where he felt for something. His fingers closed around it, gentle and soft. Pulling it back out, he gazed at it. he couldn't help but chuckle softly. It was a small square glass, no bigger than two inches wide and in height. Inside was a flower, pressed between the two sheets of glass. The petals were velvet blue, spread out and open.
Her face.
Her touch.
Her laugh.
Her smile.
Her tears.
[And we've been handed these moments forever]
"Hey there kid. Whatcha doin' out here so late, eh?"
This voice snapped him out of his little world. Whirling about, he stashed the treasure away with one hand while the other grabbed the sword hilt and swung it over his head and in front of him, ready to strike. Despite its heavy weight, he wielded it with great ease, moving as graceful as the wind itself.
"Whoa! Settle down there! I'm not gonna attack you."
"Show yourself," he demanded. His eyes narrowed; tense and prepared.
"All right, all right. Just lower that thing, jeez!" But he did not lower his sword. Instead, he waited. A torch that was stationed near the doors revealed the stranger as the newcomer walked closer. Or, to be more precise: glided toward him. Black smoke withered and twisted on the ground. Moving up, it was really to be a black toga over a deep, charcoal gray elbow length shirt with a pattern of triangles around the collar and sleeve ends. Ash gray skin, golden eyes and blue flames he assumed to be hair greeted him. A lazy smile curled across the stranger's features as his gold eyes fixed their beady stare on him. "Not one to trust people, are ya?"
Faces of his friends flashed in his mind for a brief moment
causing him to tighten his grip on his weapon. "I avoid it whenever possible."
The newcomer chuckled, never breaking his stare. "I like you kid." he said after a moment. "That punch you did there was pretty impressive. So was the way you swung that sword around! Jeez, how much does that thing weigh anyway?" The bandages wrapped around the blade rustled in the breeze as silence fell for a brief time.
He answered, "Who are you?"
"Well mannered I see," said the stranger, his tone was dripping with sarcasm. But this was quickly dropped, as he held out his hand in a friendly gesture. "Name's Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Always ready to help out somebody if needed!"
He regarded him warily, never dropping his guard. "You help...with what?"
"Why, with anything you need! Anything between winning a race to finding your lost pet dog!" His voice was cheerful, but there was a sharpness to it that wasn't right. But what this guy said had struck him.
"You can find anything?"
"Anything pal! Why?" he then asked, drawing closer. "Lose something?"
Moving the sword up higher to stop him from coming closer, he replied, "What's your price?"
"Price? Oh nothing too big, really. I would just need you to sign a simple, little contract selling your soul to me for all eternity." Noticing his look, he quickly added, "I mean, c'mon! What do you need with your soul anyway? It hasn't done much except just hang around inside ya, you know? So, you need help with somethin?"
But he had already lowered his sword and turned away.
"Whoa there! Hang on a second!" Hades was instantly in front of him, holding his hands up. "Listen buddy, if you lost something, I can help you. Tell you what: you don't have sell your soul ya me. I'll just need you to do something for me..."
"Just a teensy, weensy little favor, that's all." Smirking, he explained, "You just take down this annoying guy named Hercules for me and I'll find that...whatever it is you're missin'."
"Why not take him down yourself?" he asked.
"You think I haven't already tried that?" Hades snapped, his hair rising and turning red for a second. But then it returned to blue as he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. "Breath in, breath out...there, all better!" Snapping his fingers, Hades grinned. A scroll appeared before the blonde-haired man with a brush with its tip fresh with black ink. "I just need you to sign along the dotted line. Do that favor for me, and you'll find that something."
This Hades reeked with darkness, he could tell. He wasn't stupid. Going through with this was a terrible risk. He could just walk away and wander aimlessly through this world, searching for her...
"C'mon on now. Whatever you were doing before to find this thing wasn't working, right? I promise ya I won't let ya down."
The man stared at the contract. Was he really willing to step into the darkness freely?
"So...we got a deal?"
"It's a person, not a thing," was the response as the man took the brush and signed his name on the scroll. As soon as he finished, it disappeared in a puff of gray smoke, as did the writing tool. The scroll appeared in Hades hand, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Well now..." his eyes scanned the signature, "Cloud. Who is this lucky person you need to find?"
[But I'm reassured there's another way]
"Aerith. Her name is Aerith," Cloud said softly, lowering his eyes to fight back the tears that begged to fall freely. "My light..."
[You don't have to close your eyes]
[There is room for love again]
Standing underneath the bleachers, Cloud watched quietly. On the stone platform, three figures were fighting their hardest to pass through the series of Heartless beings thrown at them. Their struggle seemed to some-what interest him. Especially the boy.
As the boy ran to the side edge of the platform, panting, he had quickly used a Potion to regain his health. While doing this, Cloud studied his weapon. It was a bizarre looking one. It reminded him of a rather large key. But other than that, this match was simply for viewing. The boy ran back inside and cast a Thunder Spell, knocking out a Red Nocturne and two Blue Rhapsodies.
Suddenly, a Solider had crept up behind him, knocking the lad onto his back. Two more Red Nocturnes came at him and both shot Fire Balls at him. His team-mate, the one who was a duck in blue clothing, immediately noticed.
"Here Sora!" it shouted, throwing up a Potion. The potion then appeared over Sora, replenishing his health. Quickly scrambling to his feet, Sora whacked the solider rapidly and watched it be destroyed.
"Thanks Donald!" he shouted back with a grin.
Though they struggled, the group still continued to fight on and grow stronger. Cloud was no fool to realize the basis of their strength: their trust and friendship for each other.
[Ease the pain to realize all that love can be]
A small smile curled across his lips as memories of his own friends surfaced in his mind: Yuffie, Tifa, Barret, Aerith...
Her face.
[Forced apart by time and sand]
Swinging the blade around, he felt it connect with Sora's body, send him spiraling to the ground. To the right of him, Cloud saw out of the corner of his eye the one named Donald casting a Blizzard spell. At once he deflected it and shot across at high speed at the duck. Crying out, he swung the sword and hit Donald, knocking him across the arena.
He felt a Fire Ball connect with his back, causing him to stumble. Whirling about, it had been Sora. But the boy had already jumped up into the air and landing three aerial strikes on Cloud, before rolling away. Grunting, Cloud, shot at the boy and swung again.
He would not lose to this boy. Not with what was on the line. The sword connected once more and Cloud, without waiting for the boy to get up, struck him again. Sora cried out in pain. The other, Goofy, Cloud soon learned, came at Cloud and attempted to smack him with his shield. But Cloud lifted his sword in time to block it. Then whirling about in a full turn, the sword knocked Goofy into the nearest pillar, depleting nearly all of his health.
"Goofy!" shouted Sora in fear. Quickly digging out a Potion, he moved to use it. But no, Cloud would not let him. Shooting at him, Cloud successfully knocked Sora to the ground and wasting the Potion. This was his chance to finish off the boy and win the match.
Lifting the sword up, he brought it down with a painful crunch. Sora screamed but it was done. Cloud had won the match. But inside, he felt sick to his stomach. Hades was using him as toy, his puppet. He was forcing him to fight a boy innocence. Of light.
Her light.
[Take a step and take my hand]
Sitting outside the Coliseum, but the gates on the steps, he was infuriated with himself. After defeating the boy, Sora, he was unceremoniously knocked out by Hades three-headed mutt, Cerberus. It wasn't until after he woke up did he find out it was Hercules who rescued him. And it was Sora and his friends who had defeated the demon dog from the Underworld.
A part of him was relieved though. Glad that his contract with the Dead King's contract. Yet, at the same time, grief washed over him. His chance at finding Aerith had vanished. Flickered away as a candle in the vast darkness. He had let the darkness consume him. Because of this, he no longer could find a way to her light.
Not ever.
The sound of footsteps greeted his ears. Looking up, he was it was Sora and his friends. They appeared pleased and proud of themselves. It made Cloud sick, thinking that it was he who brutally beaten this boy of life.
But when Sora spoke to him this time, there was no anger or malice. Only wonder and respect. Cloud hid his smile.
[And don't let it go]
After teaching Sora the ability 'Sonic Blade', he got to his feet and walked past the group. When Sora had asked him for a fair rematch in the future, Cloud thought for a moment. But then, smiling to himself, he declined. He did not want to distract this boy from his mission. He already done enough to him. While he walked away, though, he felt a warm inside. A warmth that he hadn't felt in such a long time. It reminded him of her.
Her warmth.
[Never let go]
It had been weeks, possibly months, since the Cerberus incident. And Cloud was still on this world. Still wandering the sands of the ancient grounds of the Gods. Away from all of those he knew and loved. His only companion was darkness. Abandonment. Cold. Sitting alone in the arena, he watched the Tournaments occurring. Still the Heartless continued to infest and plague this world. Their darkness swallowing the light. How he craved to see and hold the light once.
But then his eyes widened as he recognized the cry coming from the arena.
It was the boy of light.
[Broken, once connected]
Quiet, silent.
He felt awkward aboard their ship. At the helm was Sora, piloting the Gummi Ship while Donald and Goofy remained with him. The trip to a world called 'Traverse Town' was going along smoothly. No Heartless ships were in site. Cloud could only assume that Sora had defeated them with this ship. But how? They were so strong. So powerful. So...dark. But all he could really think about was his light. His Aerith. Finally, he would be able to see her again.
His light.
[We were so strong and so blessed in a simple way]
Reaching inside the folds of his cloak, he again took out the pressed flower. Staring at it, he lightly traced the petals with his finger. He could just faintly feel her warmth. Her flower was all he had of her. His last connection to her. Suddenly, he felt the ship slowing down. It was minutes before Sora came to him, smiling.
"We're here!" he stated. "I'm sorry, but we can't stay to help you find her. You understand, right?" Cloud nodded, standing up. "But don't worry, you won't be alone too long down there. I'm sure Leon or Yuffie can help you!"
Yes, those two. He remembered how happy Yuffie was to see him alive at the Coliseum. The ninja girl practically tackled him while the man, Leon, simply watched in amusement. He and Leon had teamed up to fight Sora in the Hades Cup Tournament. He wasn't alone anymore.
[So don't let me go it alone]
His boots clicked against the stone ground of the world. He looked around, feeling out of place suddenly. All around him people were bustling about, popping in and out stores, shops and restaurants. Night had fallen on this world, the torches and lamps lit. Carefully he crossed to the stone steps leading to a shop. Around him, people stared but said nothing, quickly hurrying back to whatever they were doing.
Pushing the door open, he entered inside. At the counter stood a blonde-haired man. When he looked a Cloud, his expression seemed puzzled and startled, but the guy said nothing. Cloud moved towards him, halting in front of the counter.
"Can I help ya?" asked the man.
"I'm looking for somebody..." Cloud said quietly. "Maybe you can help me?"
"I can try, but then again, I don't know everybody here in Traverse."
"Her name is Aerith. I was told that she was here."
"Hm, Aerith?" The man leaned his elbows against the counter, chewing on the toothpick between his teeth, deep in thought. After a few seconds, he straightened back up, shrugging. "Yeah, I know her. But I don't know exactly where she is. You might wanna check the Second or Third District."
Just as Cloud turned to leave, the guy asked, "Who told ya about her anyway?"
"A kid, named Sora."
The man smiled. "Well, good luck. You must be a pretty good guy if you know Sora."
Cloud hid his grimace. No he wasn't, but he didn't tell him that. Instead, he left the shop without another word. Once he stepped out, he sighed, putting his hands in his pockets and turned his gaze to the night sky. Each star...each world twinkled down at him, winking as if to say they knew something he didn't.
[Turn your head up to the sky]
Shaking his head, he wandered around the First District and then opening a door to the Third District and searching everywhere. There was every person imaginable there, except for his light. He even visited a magician named Merlin, seeking his help. But the great sorcerer could only give him this answer: "Fear not, you will find her soon! Just stop looking for her and she will be found!"
To be honest, he found Merlin to be somewhat of a crackpot fool.
[Nothing down below but me]
Everywhere he searched. She was nowhere to be seen, as the same it was with the Second District. Every single room in the Hotel was occupied, but not by her. He had even remembered Leon telling him of the Secret Waterway. But it was void of any life, except for the fireflies. With every minute that passed, he felt his hope diminish more and more. He would never find his light.
[Face the truth to realize all that we could be]
Hours had past until he found himself sitting on the steps of the First District once more. By now the people had gone home. No one was around. Well, only the fireflies and their warm light. Cold breezes blew by, ruffling his cloak and hair. Fingers interlacing each other, he rested his elbows on his knees as he rested his closed hands against his mouth and stared off into space. Occasionally, a firefly would fly in close, hovering for a few moments before flying off. And in those few moments, Cloud would feel their warmth.
Her warmth.
[Torn apart by rage and fear]
[Hold onto what brought you here]
Groaning, he closed his eyes. It was hopeless. He had looked everywhere, but Aerith was nowhere. Sora's kindness had been nothing more than a waste of hope. He had traveled all the way to this world to be greeted by no one. His hope still struggled to surface, but the darkness of his sorrow and despair was beating it down. It was pointless to continue the search. He would never see her face or feel her warmth. He had to let everything go and be consumed by his own darkness.
[Don't let it go]
[Never let go]
Suddenly, a firefly was hovering right in front of his face, between his eyes. Blinking, he looked at it. Astonishingly, it settled on his nose, buzzing softly. Cloud wrinkled his nose, trying to get it off. It did but almost immediately landed right back on the tip of his nose. Raising his hand, he pushed it away, grunting in annoyance. But again it settled back down.
"Persistent little bug, aren't you?" Cloud muttered as he wiped it away once more. Again it came back. Now he was getting annoyed. "Why won't you stop it?" he grunted, whacking it away. This time, it stayed in the air and rose up. He followed it and watched it vanish, blending with the other stars in the sky.
[Turn your head up to the sky]
"Finally gave up," Cloud said to himself. His nose, however, felt strangely cold. The warmth of the firefly had lingered briefly, before vanishing completely. In those few moments, though he wanted it off his nose, he felt at peace; almost happy. As if it had been her with him instead of...
At once he climbed to his feet, watching the fireflies as he did. He wasn't going to give up, not like the little firefly. He wanted the warmth of his light. His hope was slowly rising once more as he turned, his cape moving with him, and hurried up the stone steps. He didn't know where he was going, but something deep down inside was leading him.
[Nothing down below but me]
His boots clacked against the stones. Grunting, he pushed the doors to the Second District open and turned to the left, racing across the cobblestone walk. Then, at last second, he leapt over the side and landed cat-like on the ground. The entrance to the Alley was there, in which he took.
[Face the truth to realize all that we could be]
The water splashed around him. Once more he practically ripped off his cloak and sword, throwing it to the side. Splashing through the entrance to the Secret Underway passage, he dove in as soon as the water grew too deep for him to run. His heart was racing rapidly, feeling himself grow warm inside. Why he was going here again, eh did not know. Already he had checked it thoroughly for her, but she wasn't there. But it felt as though it was calling to him. As if she was calling.
[Turn your head to the sky]
[Nothing down below]
Climbing out of the water, he stood their in the darkened room, soaked to the bone, shivering. The only lights were the torches and the fireflies. Again fireflies. Slowly, he walked across the place, watching everything with his sharp eyes. There was no one. The only sounds were his feet and the water dripping from him.
It was bitter and freezing there. He wrapped his arms around himself, rubbing them and trying to keep warm. But it was hard: it felt as though the water was freezing on his skin. And to be honest, he wouldn't have been surprised. It was night and the temperatures always dropped to freezing temps. Sighing, he sat down heavily, resting his back against a wall. He felt vulnerable without his sword. But it couldn't be helped: it would have weighed him down like it did the first time he came here searching. He chuckled, remembering how he struggled to keep a float with the ton-weight sword pulling him.
Leaning his head back, he closed his eyes and sighed. He needed a nap. Badly.
[Don't let it go]
Without realizing it, he had drifted off to sleep. He didn't know this until he had opened his eyes, blinking sleepily. Lifting hand, he covered his mouth as he yawned rather loudly. Lifting his arms over his head, he stretched, groaning. It was then, however, he noticed that something had their head resting on his lap. Blinking in surprise, he studied the face. He held his breath, eyes widening. Ever so gently, he gently brushed away a mass of brown hair away from the face.
Her face.
Sleeping soundly, she was curled against him, using his lap as a pillow. The fireflies' glow illuminated her gentle face. He traced her, as though to confirm that it wasn't a dream. But it wasn't. It was her.
Her warmth.
She stirred. Holding his breath, he watched her. Very slowly, her eyes opened. Long lashes framed her crystal eyes as she blinked and shifted. She looked up at him and a smile passed over her face. Reaching up, her hand rested against his cheek and leaned into her touch, closing his eyes.
Her touch.
Her smile.
When he opened them once more, he noticed sparkles in her eyes.
Her tears.
"...would you like to buy a flower sir?" she then asked, her voice soft and quiet. Cloud fought back a laugh as he struggled with his tears. He so much wanted to throw his arms around her, embrace her. But for some reason, his body wanted to do no such thing. Instead, he enjoyed the weight on his lap, her hand on his cheek. Carefully, he covered her hand with his and smiled lovingly at her. He found no words worthy of this moment. Silence would do just fine.
[Never let go]

I bought this because the last time I grilled trout it broke up on me when I was trying to flip it with a much smaller spatula. Well mission accomplished with this bad boy. I had ruby red trout a couple of nights ago and had no problems getting the job done.
Of note, the leading edge is fairly sharp. If needed it does a great job scraping the fish off the grill.
Now get out there and start grillin'
Okay, I am not sure how anyone can complain that this spatula is "too big". If it's too big for your grill then, I suggest you trash your grill and get a man-up to a bigger grill. I would be embarrassed using my grill if it couldn't accommodate this spatula. Great quality and did I mention a great workout for your arm?
REWIND, enter the webber fish spatula which will easy turn a fish up to about 6" by 10" or even larger if you are really skilled. This spatula will restore you to king of the grill in the eyes of your guests.
And, being stainless steel with no holes to snag residue, it cleans up easily. Note that this spatula is so hefty that it migt take two hands to lift. :<)))

Read an Excerpt
The softly babbling river behind Brontë Matthews and the breeze dancing through the leaves provided accompaniment to the haunting melody spilling from her fingertips. It pulled at her, drawing her into a swiftly moving current of emotion. Unease and pleasure swirled together, flowing through her as rapidly as the water. It was as if the music wove a spell, drawing out her hidden feelings for the two men in front of her—desire, confusion, longing, lust. The song echoed her every emotion.
Closing her eyes, she tried to grasp the next, elusive phrase from her memory as her bow danced across her viola. In her mind's eye, she could see the cascading notes, scrawled across her composition notebook, but they vanished into a smudge of ink. Frustrated and unable to recall the phrase, she repeated the previous line and lifted her bow from the quivering strings. The last note hung suspended, trembling in the still morning air.
"Where did you hear that?" Quillen Davies demanded.
Brontë slowly lowered her instrument to her lap as his voice slashed through the tranquillity of the moment.
"What do you mean?" she asked, studying his face. His normally relaxed demeanour had vanished, and horror replaced the laughter always apparent in his eyes. She looked to his friend, Tarran Ashe. Though he was usually the more taciturn of the two men, he looked as upset as Quill. She frowned. What the hell was their problem?
Quillen bent his head closer to hers. "I mean, where did you hear it, cariad?" Worry increased his accent's musical lilt, contrasting sharply with the husky timbre of his voice.
He watched her through the black fall of silky hair that partially obscured his deep green eyes. Darker than the lush foliage around them, they seemed to hide a wealth of secrets. Strange how she'd never noticed that before. Shaking his hair from his face, he scowled—his sculpted lips turning downward. In the month she'd known him, she'd never seen him so much as frown. Now, he practically glowered at her.
She glanced at the other man. Tarran's pale grey eyes were narrowed as he glared at her, too. Of course, that wasn't much different than his usual expression, but there was something pinched—something that looked off somehow.
Apprehension and confusion gnawed at her.
The river gurgled pleasantly in the background, but a chill she couldn't shake settled over her skin like a damp, cloying shroud. The trees of the Gwydyr forest seemed to crowd closer as if listening to them. What had started out as a peaceful morning had quickly become ominous and unsettling. For the first time since arriving in Wales a month ago, she felt like an outsider—an interloper. She was supposed be here working on her graduate degree at the Bren Gwyrdd Music Conservatory. In fact, she hoped to complete this song as one of the requirements of her composition class. But the way Quill and Tarran acted, she was beginning to feel like she'd committed a crime.
How was she supposed to explain that the song had come to her in a series of dreams? Who would believe it? Each night, she dreamt a little more of the melody. The sounds were so vivid, they'd wake her from a sound sleep until she was forced to scribble down the tune, lest it vanish from her mind forever. It was true that the subconscious mind was capable of amazing things, but composing entire songs? Not entire songs, she corrected herself. She still didn't have the ending.
Tarran reached out and took her hand, enveloping it in his much larger one. "We're not trying to scare you, love." His usual, deep, smooth tone was clipped and sharp sounding.
"No? Well, you're doing a pretty good job. What's going on? What's the problem with the song?"

Dear Government…..GROW UP!
If you have been living under a rock for the last couple of months, you might not know that our government has shutdown. Hell, even if you are living under a rock, you still probably know. It is the talk of the town; every town. I realize that this is a personal finance blog, but there are times when I just have to get things off my chest.
We have seen our "leaders" in the government completely fall apart these past few years. The government shutdown showdown was really the straw that broke the camels back. Our elected officials have gone off the deep end and now they are just fighting back and forth.
This is the word that I am going to use to describe what is happening in our government. I am also going to describe our election process as insanity. For those that don't know what insanity means, please use this perfect quote from Albert Einstein.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
If you read that quote, you know exactly what I am talking about. Our election process has become one of the biggest consumer affairs. Let me break this down a way that many would understand:
Most people out out and buy a brand name item from a store because they saw an ad for it on TV or online. Advertising is very effective in our culture, but most consumers don't take time to research the product they are buying. Is the product actually right for you? Does it fill your need? Is there a better option out there?
These are just a few of the questions that most people should be asking themselves before they purchase said product. The problem is that most won't. They just get sucked in by the advertising and they purchase. No research, whatsoever.
The same thing happens with our elections. The candidates market their "services" to us as we watch TV. You know what I am talking about when it comes to election season. The ads are out of control. The biggest issue is that there are too many people in this country that take those ads at face value. They hear it and that has become their truth. Many don't take the time to research the claims or see what the candidate is really about. This is the downfall of our election system. People have stopped thinking for themselves. They have to be spoon-fed information.
I blame this problem on mainstream media and the proliferation of the internet. People hear what they want to hear, but never take the time to find out the answer for themselves. It is truly sad. This pushes the problem of people continually voting along party lines expecting something to change. This is insane. Why can't we vote for the candidates based on what they will do for us? Why can't we just vote for officials that we do what we "hire" them to do? If you vote only for those in your party because you "can't" vote for someone in another party, you are insane. Yes, I said it. You are part of the problem!
It's Time to GROW UP!
I don't care who is Republican or Democrat, that is not the point here. The point is that both parties need to put on their big boy pants and get shit down. Stop getting in front of the camera and placing blame on other parties. This is ridiculous. Stop dividing this country in half and do your damn job. It is time to be an adult and do what you were hired to do.
If I acted like our Congressional representatives in my job, I would have been fired years ago. If I refuse to do what I was hired to do, my employer would can my butt and find someone else that is qualified. That is how the real world works. Why not Washington? Why is there a double-standard?
I was thinking about the current shutdown situation and I realized that each party is essentially just blackmailing the other party to get what they want. We hear it on the news every day and we just shake our head. We don't think about it, but the last time I checked, blackmail is illegal. If you tried to blackmail someone else to get what you wanted, you would get arrested. Why can our "leaders" do this all day long and get away with it?
According to Bloomberg, 90% of House members were re-elected and 91% of Senate members were re-elected in the last election. Did you know it was that high? Remember my insanity quote above? This is exactly what I am talking about. Congress's approval rating is at an all time low at 10%. Yet, we continue to vote in the exact same people that are causing these problems in our country. What the hell is wrong with us?
We all say we want change and we want something different, but when we exercise our right to vote for something new, we stick with the old crap that are already in. We can't make a change if we continue to elect the same people that aren't working now. Our unacceptable disdain for the other political party has gotten out of hand. Why can't there be a happy medium? Why does it have to be either blue or red?
Our Nation Is Run By Children
I actually feel bad comparing our Congress to children because it is disrespectful to children. It is sad when you hear them talk and all you can think about it children fighting over a toy that they both want. The issue is that children just don't know any better, but grown adults sure do. As a parent, I know that if my son would bicker like this because he didn't get his way, he would be grounded. I wouldn't accept this type of behavior. The extremely sad thing is that we accept this from our government. Not only do we accept it, but we not expect it. One word describes this: Unacceptable!
How can we expect our country to get anywhere when all we have is division? Children can't possibly run a country and that is all we have representing us. We need to make a change and soon!
We The People
It is time that we the people take control of this dysfunctional system that money has created. It is not about Republican or Democrat, it is about what is right. We cannot have our officials holding the American public hostage when they want the other party to do something. We should NOT be the bargaining chip. We are not pawns in this game.
I would normally just let this kind of bickering go and say that it is just how it goes, but now it is affecting me. When you hold the government hostage because you want this or he wants that, then you affect me. I am losing money everyday that the government can't get their crap together. When you make me lose money, you make me angry. I elect someone to represent me and to do their best to fight for me. I am not happy when they fall victim to the political machine and then just become another town crier.
The only way to make a change is to stop letting the political marketing machine run this country. We have to stop feeding on the marketing tidbits that are spoon-fed to us by each and every media outlet. If we really want to clean the slate, then we have to vote out every incumbent in our government and start fresh. I know that this will almost never happen, but this is what has to happen. We have to come together as a nation and stop running down the political dividing line. This is our nation and our voice has to be heard.
The only thing I have left to say is directly to our elected officials…..
Here is a great little video from the Daily Show just to hold you over until the shutdown ends.

The politicians get paid regardless of the shutdown. I think they are the non essentials of this government. They should be locked in a room until it gets resolved, no bathroom breaks either.
Wow, passionate stuff here Grayson! I have to be honest and say that I pretty much stay out of the political news because it mostly just ends up frustrating the hell out of me just like this. I find my life to be much more peaceful if I focus on the things I can directly control, which I guess makes me part of the problem because I'm not someone actively trying to change the situation. But all of the bickering and childishness that you describe just seems so dumb to me that I find it very hard to muster up the energy to deal with it. I hope for the sake of our country that we find people who can actually lead rather than the people we have now who seem much more interested in getting their face on TV.
"The candidates market their "services" to us as we watch TV." So, could we now claim that what they said was an example of false advertising? Interesting story here in how this affects people – My wife works as a CPA. They are coming up on an IRS deadline to file tax returns on everyone who extended earlier in the year. The IRS still expects people to file, but their offices are of course closed, keeping accountants from contacting them for certain pieces of information they need for their clients. So she will just have to file the returns with insufficient information and then come back and amend them later once the IRS offices open and they ask for the corrections. And BTW, everything rises and falls with leadership. That's a scary thought for our country.
I think it's really unfortunate that the government shut down, and even Conservative "heavyweights" like Rand Paul are saying it's not in the best interest of anybody to have the government shut down. They had plenty of time to debate this budget and should have hashed something out over the past THREE years (I think that's how long it's been since a budget was passed?). Anyway, let's hope they get it figured out so we can move on in life and debate issues in the proper way.
I agree with your basic premise, this should have been resolved well before a shutdown occurred. I think it just underscores how big of a deal Obamacare is, to both sides of the aisle. It's going to have a MUCH larger effect on this country than a temporary government shutdown. As long as it's temporary. Hopefully something will change in the next 2 weeks!
"The point is that both parties need to put on their big boy pants and get shit down. Stop getting in front of the camera and placing blame on other parties." I didn't know which section to quote, but this is spot on Grayson! Unfortunately both sides are more interested in getting their face out there and blame the other side as much as possible. The sad fact is that very few of them seem to even care how this all looks as well as what it could do to our country.
In terms of how they campaign, from a marketing perspective, has become pure genius, because they're data mining is second to none. They take that info and market themselves us and the sad fact is too many just lap it up and accept it at face value. Then you add the media on top of it with their "Countdown clocks" and it just makes it one giant cluster.
I agree that it's crazy we keep re-electing all the clowns and at such a rate too. One person I voted for in 2012 was re-elected and that was a local school board member if I remember correctly. We need to be taking this right given us to vote a little more seriously and oust all the characters (regardless of the party) and get people in there who'll actually work. The sad thing is I think so few out there even notice.
Ok, I'll end my rant. 🙂 Spot on my friend!
You go, Grayson!!!! THANK YOU for telling it like it is. If only the politicians would see, hear and understand.
Perfect post is perfect. I could not have said what I was thinking any better – this was really spot on. It is absolutely nuts that these same people keep getting re-elected to Congress, and that they managed to shut down the government because a handful of them didn't get their way. So instead of working toward a practical solution, they whined and cried and threw a temper tantrum. The Affordable Care Act, whether you agree with it or not, has been a LAW for three years. You know what you do if you want to change something when it comes to laws? You legislate, you do not cross your arms and hold your breath until someone gives you what you want. It's something that these clowns seem to have forgotten in their rush to go against whatever the other side says (regardless of whether it's a good idea or not). I'm hoping the one good thing that will come out of this mess is that, like you said needs to happen, people will finally wake up and realize that we have the power to fire these partisan babies. We do NOT have to tolerate the extremism, from both sides, that has hijacked our government. Again, thanks for this excellent post – you hit the nail on the head on every point.
I just quit paying attention to all of it. Isn't that sad? But, honestly, worrying about it just makes me stress out for no reason. It's all a giant clusterf%ck!
I definitely agree with you. They are all acting like children and this is ridiculous!
The most powerful nation on earth has its goverment shutdown! Its a shame that our politicians cannot sit down and actually resolve issues. I understand each side wants something to relent, still i think there is much to be said about statesmanship and the art of compromises, thats how things run in the business or adult world for that matter. We can't always have what we want, sometimes we have to take one for the greater good and politicians should understand that, grow up and get us out of this mess.
We the People should Stand Up and Say No To this $hit!
And the frightening thing is that if they dont get their act together by the 17th Oct, then the US govt won't have the funds to pay the debts on its bonds. If they default then there will be a financial fallout similar to July 2008.
Shameful that they play such high stakes politics with peoples lives.
Totally agree Grayson. Playing the blame game is nothing more than a waste of time. Instead of people leading from behind these people should be leading from the front and taking charge and not point fingers.
You go, Grayson!! Honestly, I had no idea 90% were reelected. That actually boggles my mind because even though they might be at an all-time low approval rating – Congress hasn't been feeling the love for a long time. It's ridiculous because as you so accurately noted – none of us could behave this way in our professional lives and not be fired and rightly so. It's insane they face no repercussion. These days politicians seem to care more about being right, than actually working together to help the people they were elected to serve.
People don't give the non-presidential races or elections enough thought. All these other races, as we've seen recently, are the ones that can really make or break us.
I love politics and was happy to see your post. Yes, our government has become dysfunctional. But the founders intended strong central national government to be something to guard against not to be yearned for as many of my friends on the left do. The framers intended for the elected governmental officials to work together but at the same time be limited by the powers of either the other branch or other house. The Constitution sets up limited government.
The electorate is split wanting a Democrat in the White House and Republicans to control the House of Representatives, which by the way is granted the power of the purse in the Constitution. Eventually both sides will be forced to compromise and the shutdown will end. Neither side will get everything they want and the peoples interests will be served.
Love it!
Spot on Grayson! Even though I hate politic$, I love, Love, LOVE this post! The whole red vs. blue, who blames who, Obamahater crap has been pissing me off lately. I recently watched this Ted talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o#t=17m00s) with Brene Brown. Politics today is like this: "I'm right. You're wrong. Shut up." We need more open-minded individuals in congress who will actually listen to their constituents (we the people obviously didn't want a gov't shutdown). It frustrates me to no end knowing that we have power in numbers yet do nothing. I think John Mayer was right…"We just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it. So we keep waiting. Waiting on the world to change."
What are we waiting for?
Politics is stupid. We pay taxes to see politicians act like they were in a movie or something.
I seriously can't wrap my head around it all. I think you should just up and move to Canada 🙂
Thank you very much, Grayson. Clear, concise, and right to the point; if our politicians could be that way, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation. Although, they'd still have to work things out between them, and that requires having more maturity than my nine-month old daughter, so maybe I'm being too optimistic here.
I can feel your strong passion for this issue. And I must say although I do not completely comprehend the entirety of the whole situation. I believe you are right on the grow up part.
We really need more viable political parties in the US. By giving the Democrats and Republicans a stranglehold on media access (ever wonder why there aren't any Green, Libertarian, etc. candidates invited to a televised debate?), America is doomed to an eternal repeat of this ridiculous drama.
General Hospital has more believable plot lines than what happens daily in the US Congress.
Hey Grayson, I'm new to your blog…followed a link from Matt Becker to get here. I tend to agree with what you've said. Not that I'm defending myself here, but I find that to truly know who you are voting for (esp when it comes to the candidates going for positions other than the President) it would take hours and hours of time to research enough that you feel comfortable making an informed decision. My embarrassing fall-back position is to not vote for any category I have no knowledge about…turns out that's quite a few. Sigh.
The thing that's worse yet, in my opinion, are the informed people who voice their opinion and don't vote at all. I know quite a few of those. Now that makes me crazy!
Congratulations on being a finalist in the 4th Annual Plutus Awards!
You're absolutely right. It's like a school playground where both parties are refusing to let go of their candies in order to look at the bigger picture. The president says the nature of American democracy is robust, but that's just white-washing the whole situation. What kind of democracy involves people not agreeing with each other to the extent that they shutdown the very government they aim to run?
Great commentary. I am SO sick of the childish games our elected representatives are engaged in at the moment. You're right: when it starts costing us money that's when they need to hear "enough of this shit."
It does worry me in a sense because I always think back to the fall of Rome. The world has looked to the US for as long as I can remember as an example, but I don't think this is what our forefathers had in mind. It is really pretty embarrassing. We were in Moab, UT last weekend and there are always lots of international tourists there this time of year to see Arches and Canyonlands, but they were all closed. I just wanted to keep saying I'm so sorry. You are so right that if I had run my business like the country is run, I would have been out of business a long time ago. Spend way more than you earn and just change the rules instead of facing reality. Great way to set an example for sure.
Amen! You hit so many great, valid points I am blown away. I hope there are big, sweeping changes with the next elections!

The music was great, but the sound was terrible. The bass was turned up so loud that it was like a constant thunder that muddled the rest of music. I would hesitate to see another concert at this venue.

Product Description
From Amazon
In the wake of World War I, a community of expatriate American writers established itself in the salons and cafes of 1920s Paris. They congregated at Gertrude Stein's select soirees, drank too much, married none too wisely, and wrote volumes--about the war, about the Jazz Age, and often about each other. F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, were part of this gang of literary Young Turks, and it was while living in France that Fitzgerald began writing Tender Is the Night. Begun in 1925, the novel was not actually published until 1934. By then, Fitzgerald was back in the States and his marriage was on the rocks, destroyed by Zelda's mental illness and alcoholism. Despite the modernist mandate to keep authors and their creations strictly segregated, it's difficult not to look for parallels between Fitzgerald's private life and the lives of his characters, psychiatrist Dick Diver and his former patient turned wife, Nicole. Certainly the hospital in Switzerland where Zelda was committed in 1929 provided the inspiration for the clinic where Diver meets, treats, and then marries the wealthy Nicole Warren. And Fitzgerald drew both the European locale and many of the characters from places and people he knew from abroad.
In the novel, Dick is eventually ruined--professionally, emotionally, and spiritually--by his union with Nicole. Fitzgerald's fate was not quite so novelistically neat: after Zelda was diagnosed as a schizophrenic and committed, Fitzgerald went to work as a Hollywood screenwriter in 1937 to pay her hospital bills. He died three years later--not melodramatically, like poor Jay Gatsby in his swimming pool, but prosaically, while eating a chocolate bar and reading a newspaper. Of all his novels, Tender Is the Night is arguably the one closest to his heart. As he himself wrote, "Gatsby was a tour de force, but this is a confession of faith."
About the Author
F. Scott Fitgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896. He attended Princeton University, joined the United States Army during World War I, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he married Zelda Sayre and the couple divided their time among New York, Paris, and the Riviera. Fitzgerald's masterpieces include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. He died at the age of forty-four, while working on The Love of the Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald stands out as one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century.See all Product Description

Dick, a psychiatrist, met Nicole at his clinic, where she was a patient. He was a brilliant young doctor and successful author, she, a broken and troubled youth. Dick helped her put the pieces back together, and married her. They lived an almost blissful existence for a time, but then Nicole began to relapse. The bulk of the novel deals with Nicole's problems and her struggle to overcome them, as well as Dick's growing problems, which he, with all his training, is not so able to move past. Dick and Nicole's relationship develops into something ugly, a shattered remnant of its past glory. And what is worse, it isn't even really Nicole's fault.
Fitzgerald has a gift for beautiful prose and a talent for storytelling that is almost unparalleled in literature. This book should be considered a classic, and surely deserved to emerge from the shadow of its sister work, The Great Gatsby, and be regarded as the masterpiece that it is.
The novel concerns the relationship between married couple Dick and Nicole Diver, the husband a promising young psychiatrist with obscure goals about published research, the wife a fragile flower soiled early in life, the 'damaged goods' he takes on to teach, heal, and subconsciously reap in turn. At first, presented through the innocent gaze of child-actress Rosemary, the Divers seem like the quintessence of their sophisticated era: clever, classy, both elegant and subtly sensual, people so comfortable with themselves as to avoid the games and struts of the current 'season.' Young, restful, in love with each other and life in general, the Divers exhibit the ideal of the American Dream, if expatriat-ed from American soil . . .Read more ›
What I did find interesting however, being intimately involved with mental illness, is how sophisticated the author's understanding was in that time.
Richard Diver, married to what was then termed a "neurotic" woman, encounters a young movie star. Films were still silent and actresses were chosen for their physical appeal. Rosemary, although still a teen-ager, fills the image perfectly. Immature, notorious and vivacious, she sets her sights on Diver. Encouraged by her mother, although the motivation for this remains unclear, Rosemary applies her wiles on a man twice her age.
As the two encounter, separate and meet again, they interact with members of the expatriate community in France. Fitzgerald portrays most of them through the couple's viewpoint. The depictions are compelling and evocative, but there isn't an appealling one in the lot. Diver's role in the new [then] Freudian psychology gives Fitzgerald a mechanism for exploring the human psyche. The dismemberment of Freud's analysis by modern studies doesn't detract from Fitzgerald's descriptive prowess. Even from this distance in time he's remains a writer to turn to and reflect on. He's deservedly acclaimed as one of the "greats" of the twenties.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks' GM Kevin Towers: 'We may do a few things'
There was a lot of smoke, but alas no fire.
Rumors flew wildly Tuesday that the Arizona Diamondbacks were interested in acquiring veteran right-handed pitcher Jake Peavy from the Chicago White Sox. Instead, Peavy landed in Boston as part of a three-team deal with that also included the Detroit Tigers.
But just because Arizona didn't swing that deal, don't think the D-backs won't make any roster moves before the trade deadline, which expires at 1:00 p.m. Phoenix time Wednesday.
"I kind of sat back here in the hotel room and worked the phones until late last night," D-backs' general manager Kevin Towers told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Wednesday from Tampa. "I'm fairly confident that there will be some trade news involving the Diamondbacks probably by the end of the day."
Towers hinted that he may be spending a lot of time on the phone before the deadline.
"We may do a few things," he said. "We've made some headway at least on one front. I'd say we're at the 15-yard line right now, but still have some work to do when I get off this phone.
"And we've got a few other things balls up in the air that we'll continue to work on throughout the rest of the day."
With their loss to the Rays and the Dodgers' walk-off win over the Yankees Tuesday night, the Diamondbacks' deficit in the National League West grew to 3.5 games. But that rapidly growing hole doesn't mean Towers will be a seller.
"All these moves, or if we do things, they're with the idea that we still plan on being a contender here and a ball club that we still think has a chance to win the division."
One of the likely candidates to move is right-handed pitcher Ian Kennedy. The 28-year-old saw his struggles continue Tuesday night when he allowed two earned runs in the first inning and lasted just five innings in a 5-2 loss to the Rays. He hasn't notched a victory since June 1 and the D-backs are 1-9 in his last 10 starts.
Kennedy is two seasons removed from a 21-win campaign after which he finished fourth in the National League Cy Young voting and is not eligible for free agency until 2016, so despite his 2013 performance, he could be attractive to some suitors around baseball.
