The Queen of Sheba

Obamacare is better than what we had before.  If the Republicans had not fought it every inch we could have had single payer and that would have been way better.

The Republicans want to take money from everybody that is not in the one percent, if that results on middle class people becoming poor, that is no sweat off the elephant's brow.  Those warm-hearted dems would love to lift the poor out of poverty, but the best they can do is help them out a little because of the intransigence of the cold-hearted reps.  Poor white people tend to vote Republican, because they don't get no education.

The kids would be better off with better schools and smaller classes than some popinjay strutting around with a gun for an event that is less likely than a bolt of lightning.  I think I remember Beagles taking part in social activities in high school, and who paid for that fancy ROTC uniform?

Beagles said he didn't notice it that much and I don't know what it was like on the north side, but growing up in Gage Park, what I remember is nigger this and nigger that.  It's not so much the word as it is the attitude everytime the subject of black people came up nobody had anything good to say about them.  I don't hear white people talk like that anymore.  And that's a good thing. 

So maybe if that guy, the author of that commie crap that Beagles refuses to address because the guy used the word social a lot, had had a black name Beagles wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him the way white folks on the south side did in the 50's.  But the muslim (doesn't Beagles mean Arabic name?) name is enough to dismiss the guy because some muslims are terrorists.  Doesn't sound right to me.

Of course Beagles is a proud member of the white race, and the white race has never done anything bad, well not to other white people, oh that's right they have done plenty to each other.

I wonder how much John James' army antics would have meant if the guy was a dem.  I also wonder if Beagles voted for him in the primary, and if he is voting for him now because he is the last best chance to keep a dem from taking the seat.

Oh, and I wonder if this has anything to do with Beagles liking that John James, from the man's website: Conservative Outsider who supports the Trump Agenda – Actions speak louder than words and from tax relief for working families to the elimination of overbearing government regulations, President Trump is keeping his promises to the American people.


So I messed around with the Queen of Sheba, well I wished I had messed around with her, if for no other reason than to tell people that I had messed around with the Queen of Sheba.  Now there's a song title that writes the song

Well I messed around with the Queen of Sheba
But the Queen of Sheba had nothing on you Babe

And then the song would go on about how actually the Babe had treated the guy pretty shabby and now he wished now that he had stuck with the Queen of Sheba, and if you could work the words in where even if the Babe hadn't treated him wrong he still would have wished he had stuck with the Queen, because honestly who wouldn't?.

Each of the Abrahamic religions has a different take on the Queen of Sheba (some have her cavorting with Solomon (does the bible ever come out against polygamy, and if not why are so many fundamental Christians against it?), also the Copts and the Ethiopians have their version.

But she shines best in popular culture.  You know I ain't the Queen of Sheba, Bonnie Riatt wails, and it seems like the Queen is mostly seen in a negative light, like I ain't the Queen of Sheba, or who does she think she is, the Queen of Sheba?  The Queen of Sheba is not like the Queen of England, she is shapely and she swings her hips, and she is a sharp dresser and if some folks say she is maybe a little slutty, she just winks her kohl-lined eye and swings her gaudy beads because what does she care, she is, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Queen of Sheba.

All hail The Queen.
