Ford-ing the Gap

Between liberal charities and their critics. On RET’s reading list. Mimi’s poetic stylings. Plus more.

(Page 3 of 3)

The Republican senators are now presented with a clear moral and ethical choice: stand down and let Judge Sotomayor be confirmed without opposition or take a stand, no matter how deeply the odds against victory, and let their voices be heard: this is still the land of liberty and a country of laws. The risks of opposition are many, but taking a stand against the tyranny of the majority was one of the core values espoused and lived by our Founding Fathers. Now is not the time to abjectly demure to the Democratic majority. Sotomayor’s espoused and well-recorded philosophy make her unfit for the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
If our good senators are unwilling to stand for what is right, then they must be unseated.
I.M. Kessel

TIME TO LEAVE THE STAGE

Age is not kind to those who are blind
To the sensitivities of others.
Lampooning rudely,
Getting laughs crudely
Is pathetic, and if we had our druthers,

Having reached this stage, you’d close the page.
Your talent once was sunny.
You’ve been around overmuch.
You are out of touch.
Mr. Letterman, you are no longer funny.
Mimi Evans Winship

Jill, you're a breath of fresh air. Mimi too, of course, as usual.....
PS/Never found Letterman funny, 'cept for a rare, occasional Top-Ten or stupid pets thing.
His spewing of "jokes" at the expense of Governor Palin are beneath contempt.

I’ll have aPoptropica full written walkthrough very soon, but in the meantime, here are some answers to some of the frequently asked questions about Mythology Island. Having trouble? Post a question in the comments and I’ll try to answer it!
Getting Hercules to Help You

Hercules won’t help you until you have all five items from Zeus’ quest. Once you have the five items, bring them to Athena. Zeus will appear and steal them. The big jerk! Once this happens, talk to Athena and she will tell you that Hercules will help you. You’ll need to have the magic mirror from Aphrodite because Hercules doesn’t want to have to walk. He’s so lazy!
Getting the Hydra Scale

You can see how to do this in the videos, but basically you need to jump up when the Hydra is about to strike. He will rear one of his heads back to attack and his eyes will bulge out. When this happens, jump up in the air and then try to land on top of his head. That head will get knocked out. When all five heads get knocked out, the Hydra will be asleep and you can click on him to get one of the scales.Poptropica
