La Shawn,

Thank goodness! I was beginning to show signs of withdrawal, snapping at co-workers, no appetite, mean to my dog…OK not really, but I did miss stopping by for a daily dose of “La Shawn’s common sense”. I hope that you did catch a few of the speakers at the GOP convention, some were very good.

Got to go now though to check out what you’ve been doing over at Townhall.com. I usually drop in there a couple of times a week, so its good that you admitted it all up front instead of getting caught!

Those old radio shows are great! When I lived in Australia I always got the Goon show (Peter Sellers, etc) and others from when British comedy was funny.

I’m also humbled that you’ve seen fit to add me to your blogroll. I’ll try to keep the standards up to the expected level!

I think there’s a moral emptiness to so much TV. “War is [always] hell” makes a good image; fighting for human rights is an abstract argument. The good images of a successful fight– kids laughing and playing, folks going to work, to church– the happy images are hard to connect, in image, to any fight.

Adult abstract thought vs. adolescent shock images. TV is for kids.

I kept coming over to see what you had to say about McCain, Rudy, Arnold, Laura, Zell, the protests, the media, et cetera. Nope, no LaShawn anywhere. I flicked a manly tear from the corner of my eye.

In my imagination you hiding out in a seedy hotel in a small town under an assumed name. Turns out you were busy. That was my second guess.

Missed you.

La Shawn,

Your ad paid for you! I could not resist clicking over to learn about you. YOU GO GIRL!!!! I’m very impressed by your site and resume. I’ll be checking back later to see what you blog.

God Bless.

It takes us back to a simpler time, I guess. Even the cloak and dagger stuff was more straightforward.

The shows were very patriotic. From Fibber McGee and Molly, ’42 or ’43…

Arlo Wilcox: I have to get to the store to see if they have any world globes. I want to track our troops’ progress.
Molly: Do you want one with Japan on it?
Wilcox: Of course.
Molly: Then you’d better get one quick!

Ha! I’ve been caught. Some of that stuff is so corny, but I find it comforting on a Sunday night while getting ready for the work week. My favorite radio shows are from the “Suspense” series and most of the detective shows.

I had imagined Miss Barber as a tireless politico. Instead, she stays at home and listens to “Fibber McGee and Molly”!
