One old use of the word “hark” was in hunting with hounds, meaning to turn the dogs back on their course, reverse direction. It was this use that gave rise to the expression “hark back.” It refers to returning in thought to an earlier time or returning to an earlier discussion: “That tie-died shirt harks back to the days we used to go to rock festivals together.”
The expression is not “hearkens back.” Although “hark” and “hearken” can both mean “listen,” only “hark” can mean “go back.”

Someone is encroaching on Moody's office supply approach. Although I suspect that piece is an homage rather than an original. I think I've seen that image somewhere before.
girls blouse. etymology (literary reference) anyone?
classic. even i cant stomach watching mike barnacle sitting in for chris matthews on hardball so i turned to cnn to see some woman sitting in for lou dobbs. shes trying to pin down an obama economic advisor on what his plans would be on shoring up the financial crisis. they dance around the issue for awhile tossing around the usual "my opponents plan sucks" routine yet when he finally relents and starts stating specific proposals in complex economic terms which clearly she nor i completely understood she (more likely the producer in her ear) cuts him off and says thats all the time they have which elicited a wry chuckle from her guest. really a pathetic indictment of the msm. she was never interested in what he had to say only in creating fake drama.

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn't return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.

word to the wise.... do not get into an argument with jim over the relative merits of synthetic versus natural decking materials if you are itching for a quick and easy exit from a mutually besotted encounter. i wont mention which jim as i suspect either or perhaps all might take the installation of composites as a personal affront.
