 Oh, Lonesome Me, was written and recorded by Don Gibson with Chet Atkins back in 1958 for RCA-Victor (you can google for the lyrics or check out YouTube to listen to a recording).The song made the Top Ten back then, but it may be ready to make a comeback in 2009 - at least in the opinion of most Earthlings! Once again, the Wizards of Washington have shut out Earth and have chosen just one response: 19. ... 0-0. I'm beginning to feel mighty lonesome ... Maybe Astronaut Greg Chamitoff's 20th move will spark enough debate to allow Earthlings to once again, enter the fray.
