From Olympic hope-fills, to practicing pugilists...quotes and notes...

Add-vice that probably...rings familiar...

War-i-ness, warring factions: Pattoned remarks..."No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country...he won it by making some DB die for his" In other words, showing good sportsmanship..."No, you go first, I insist..."

"It's dirty, Harry business" These Olympics, getting ready, all that practice, prep, the so-called run-up to the elections, that seem to slow...to a halt..."A man's got to know his limitations..." And even more so, the soft underbelly, of his opponent, if to take full advantage...and to "reach your full potential" - in D.C. style (Dale Carnegie, of course) 

"In order to avoid getting punched out" A somewhat more polished delivery from what are traditionally, in pugilistic practice (AKA "boxing" in the Olympics and beyond the ring) as the "corner men" and in other venues, their "handlers"...campaign managers. Delivered "with all due respect"...respectively...to one who already looks what backyard fighters term "punch drunk" and to the other whose one weakness is "he just can't resist counterpunching...especially when it comes to firing back caustic remarks..." 

"I know I may be asking thee..." Trying to teach an experienced boxer to switch to his nondominant hand is one thing ("switch it up Rock, you'll catch him by surprise, maybe even flat footed...it will be a knock out!") is one thing, whereas trying to interrupt a professional politician during a debate or even in the midst of an acceptance speech, is like asking the Im-pause-able...

"There's always room, for hope..." From "Pandora"

"At least he went down, swinging..." A casual observer of "Mighty Casey at the Bat"

"Welcome to My world" Of an amateur, who finds him-self reliant on add-vice from my 'personal trainer'..."stick to the list and remember, don't go to the grocery store on an empty stomach; it'll cost you..."

"Thank you...Dear!"

What to do, after all is said but not done, when your prize fighter is getting "TPTP": Next go-round...

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
