Former Republican Congressman, founding trustee of the Heritage Foundation, and national chairman of the American Conservative Union, Mickey Edwards is the author of Reclaiming Conservatism: How A Great American Political Movement Got Lost- and How It Can Find It Way Back. Last night, Edwards attended the State of The Union address and below he shares his reactions. Read Edwards other OUPblog posts here.
To hear White House spinners tell it, George W. Bush has no intention of drifting quietly into the night. Much to do. Still driven. That sort of thing. And perhaps I might have believed it if I had missed the President’s State of the Union speech Monday night. Sadly, I didn’t; I was, in fact, in the House chambers, where I have watched some 20 previous such speeches. Fortunately, there is a pattern to such events, a ritual that involves standing and cheering whenever anybody of note enters the chamber – members of the Senate (that House members cheer for them is proof of how ritualistic, and meaningless, the ovations really are), members of the Cabinet, members of the Diplomatic Corps, members of the Supreme Court, and . . . the President, for whom the tradition requires sustained applause at entry, sustained applause at podium arrival, sustained applause at the Speaker’s formal introduction of the visitor from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Congrata-bloomin-lations to my little sister Jen and her husband Tom, here's the wedding card I made them. They are both working in theatre and got married in one, hence the theme....

The Scouting movement is celebrating its centenary this year. This week there are over 300 Scouts from 160 countries renewing their promises at a huge camp in Brownsea Island, Dorset, where Robert Baden-Powell held the first camp for boys in 1907. We at OUP are proud to publish the original 1908 edition of Baden-Powell’s Scouting for Boys, the original blueprint for the movement. To celebrate the Scouting Centernary, I’ve chosen an excerpt from the text that supplies useful suggestions for games to be played “in the club or in camp”. Our American friends may especially enjoy Baden-Powell’s description of “Basket Ball”!

THE ZOO: I met this great Owl at the Zoo this weekend. He blended into the trees surrounding him so nicely that I hardly noticed him. I tried to connect with him but he was of few words. Quite simply, I was interrupting his sleep. I was told I have OWL MEDICINE like my Mom before me (that intuitive gift), so I couldn't wait to meet this creature! I whipped out my pen and did a quicky sketch.
I find it hard to capture animals in movement. Once I start and I get a great pose, the animal moves! I don't know how others master it. Probably reference photos. I lucked out with the owl...he just sat there.
We are slowly becoming zoo junkies. I'd love to talk to each animal and write his story, but I know from my visit to the vet and the groomer's to drop off cards --the vet tech said, "Do you have certification from the state to be animal communicator? (huh?) and the groomer said, "I guess it helps in some situations,"--that the zoo folk may not be responsive to what I do. Tough crowd. This is one gift that can be hard to have. You don't go to a dentist and say, "I don't believe you. What you do is nonsense". Ah, but I digress.
Beautiful! They are so regal, aren't they? I'm glad the zoo animals have you to talk to! Don't listen to what other people say, they just don't know, you know? :) I sure wish they did, though. Just a reminder that you have a supporter here in Baltimore! ;)
Really beautiful Ronni! I see a lot of owls in Topanga and I find there sounds very comforting!
Thanks ladies! Hi Tracey! Good to know. Val, I bet you like to say Topanga. That's a fun word.
Great sketch Ronni! I know about the tough crowds. I'm careful about who I tell about the communication skills until I feel comfortable that they're open to it. My family thinks I'm whacked :)
nice sketch. my dog stella spoke with an animal communicator by phone. she moved her head to confirm intense listening and then clearly began to ask for and insist on chicken at mealtime, a subject she first broached with the communicator.
i'm a true believer. and you will never be a dentist. both of these are good things.
:)
Big hugs to my online friends. Thank you. Yeah, I guess I will never be a dentist. Hee hee. Or a banker for that matter...or accountant.
I like your quickie sketch. It feel so loose and different. nice piece!
Wonderful drawing! I love the zoo too - my daughter and I go a lot to draw.
I love that big feather sticking out and the wink. Magical indeed. :)
I have a hard time sketching in public, which is a shame, I know. It is hard to catch animals in movement, but I love when I see people's sketches, and how sometimes just a line says so much. This is a great drawing, Ronni!
