Before we cover what I
regard as the biggest story of the past couple of days let’s talk about this
Canadian with a British accent, Mark Stein, who we all presumed must be a
Londoner by his polished accent. I mean
it must have taken a staff of fifteen comedy writers fifteen hours to come up
with a speech that took fifteen minutes to deliver. And we learn all of these marvelous things we
didn’t know, such as the NY Daily News is one of the most famous ‘Liberal’ news
outlets in New York. I’ve heard the NY
daily news described as many things but hardly “liberal”. And apparently there hasn’t been so much as
one person to sign up on the state run New York Obama care site, now known as
the ACA, as if we needed another acronym.
Of course we in California pass all these gun regulations and so if you
are a member of the NRA you won’t find a welcome home here. NRA stands for “Nuts, Racists, and Anarchists”. We are what the rest of America is dreading becoming
in terms of progressivism. And the thing
is we’re going to drag all the rest of you eventually with us in the march
tword Progressive disaster, apparently.
And to accomplish our goals we have relied on such dangerous weapons as
State’s rights and the Popular will of the people. But I see others are echoing my little veiled
threat that Jerrymandered districts could come back to bite them in the ass
when they elect democrats next year in those districts everybody thought “safe”. Apparently there was this guy named Jerry
that was as slippery as a salamander or something. Maybe it’s the “salamander” in the Mc Cartney
song. I remember the Sheffield girls
next door would talk about all of the “solomanders” in our back yard, meaning
Olianders. Of course these districts are
long and lanky like a solomander. I’m
thinking of closing that window right next to me because a sudden chill breeze
is wafting its way in here. Must be the
cold right wing winds blowing in from Heartland America, or what Rush calls “flyover
country”. But the President was on the
air this morning doing kind of a political pep rally for the Affordable care
act. People are writing the Stephanie
Miller show saying “Please pick our town for an upcoming Sexy Liberal tour
appearance”. But I am becoming convinced
that the Republicans are indeed cleving in two, like one of these layer cakes
one kid baked on the Chef Ramsey show last Friday. Once you’ve experienced the empassioned
frenzy of a tea party rally you need a “cooling off period” or else dire things
happen. So now even Jeb Bush has joined
the ranks of those who think the Republicans have gone nuts. And Mike Huckibee- - et tu Mike Huckibee- -
whom born again people must regard as a Judas among them- because he too, can
no longer subscribe to the tea party madness.
Like I say there is that Bill Buckley point- -like with the snit semites in the ‘fifties,
you have to conduct that long overdue political purge of your party to get all
the slag out of the pig iron if you’re ever going to “Steel yourself” to try
and win another election. Of course some
people would have you believe that I come up with my stuff in mere minutes what
it takes a whole staff of comedy writers hours or days to produce otherwise,
and who am I to dispel such an illusion?
We now come to the pies
de resantance of the morning- - the Dick Chaney story. When I first heard a promo for the Sixty
Minutes piece last night- - I had it pegged as something that would go in an
entirely other direction. When I heard
Dick Chaney had written out a resignation letter to President Bush to resign as
of March 31st 2001 I figured perhaps it’s because Bush considered
him such a whacko that he knew he was “toast” and a liability to the Bush
administration. Chaney made no bones
about how he’s the guy that came up with the whole enhanced interrogation thing
and turning the NSA into some police state operation here, domestically, and
then there were those other POW abuses in Iraq.
So the story of Dick Chaney and his pacemaker is that it was intended to
have wireless capabilities so that you could issue it orders from a far away
location. Lord knows why you’d want
that. But his doctor says “perhaps we
better disable this feature because some terrorist could hack into your
pacemaker and give you a heart attack just like in that movie a few years
back. Chaney admits he’s lucky to be
alive now that he has a new heart. And
he plans to take care of it- - unlike these Hollywood celebreties that get a
new liver and go on binge drinking just as before. Chaney says it almost a magical thing to be
able to wake up each morning and feel young again and dare to do the things he’d
never thought he’d be able to do any more.
Except he doesn’t ski but that’s because of bad knees, and not his
heart. Dick Chaney has been playing
footsy with death since his days in the Ford administration. He had about five major heart attacks- - and
one was during the 2000 presidential campaign- - and he’s had stints and
angioplasty and all sorts of things done.
But though his heart was bloated to double its normal size, the blood
vessles were almost non existant - - and blood pumping efficiency was
minimal. So ol’ Darth Vader still has a
lot of good years left in him. They just
called “coffee time” so maybe I’ll go down right now.
What struck me last
Saturday with Paul and Judy was the extent to which people still really do see
God as kind of this “old man in the sky” who is sitting there taking notes, in
preparation of Judging planet earth very soon.
I pointed out that “In the last two thousand years, there is very little
written about in Bible prophecy and it’s all extrapolation, except perhaps for
the reformation of the nation of Israel and the greening of the area. Judy and Paul maintain “There are a lot of
secrets in the Bible that will be revealed and made manifest to us as the Last
Days approach”. So we are to believe
that headenism and homosexuality are in the forefront of the “signs of the
impending wrath of God”. But when you
look through history it is liberals rather than conservatives who have been in
the forefront of Moral causes that weren’t always popular at the time. Take even the right to trial by jury in England,
or the abolition of Slavery, or the prevention of disease - - or treatment of
the mentally ill, or the Marshal plan, or the formation of the UN- - or the
move tword nuclear disarlement. (The
Peace symbol is semaphore for N and D for Nuclear Disarmment”. But how about marriages that are no longer
pre arranged but rather based on true love?
This is a conception of Liberals.
How about raping your own wife or wife beating- - or selling your
daughter to be the wife of some rich foreigner with a lot of money? How about food and health safety standards or
OSHA - - or how about our energy and ecology laws. Our air now is a whole lot more breathable
than it used to be. Of course there are
still groups like Green Peace that still turn to unconventional or even violent
measures- - such as the group that attacks Japanese whaling ships, where they
are violating International Law to begin with.
This whole concept of “saving the planet” means thinking of someone
besides yourself, and is the polar opposite of Ayan Rand’s philosophy which is
the deification of Self. It is Ayan Rand
– rather than the Bible that is the guiding star of the Tea Party
philosophy. The Bible teaches that
Wealth too - - can become an “addiction” I darkly suspect, a lot more than
being a latent homosexual can. Because
they indeed want “more and more’ and are never satisfied but are driven to make
increasingly outrageous demands. Indeed
they violate Sol Allinsky’s prime directive that goes “If you’re going to make
a Demand- - it must be in the Other Side’s capacity to fulfill it”. (Selah)
Do you remember the little story Nathan told King David about the rich man
who had flocks and herds but for dinner to impress a guess, he slaughtered his
poor neighbor’s pet ewe lamb- and served That to his guests. You can talk about inheriting money. But I have learned the follies of “chasing
after money- - and things that can’t come true” - - a la the Grass Roots
song. I think what Dennis Wilson learned
about the way Charles Manson ripped him off was that “It’s only money” and he
was lucky to have escaped with his Life.
(Selah)
This paragraph is going
to be posted out of sequence. Everybody
already knows how utterly corrupt all of Congress has become. In the words of the Bible “There is not one
of you who does good - - no not one”. They
are ALL on the take- - even Maxine Waters, which I find exceedingly
disappointing. There is one thing that
Unites flaming liberal and tea bagger alike and that is that Nobody wants to
pass any “Campaign financing reform laws”.
But they now have something called “leadership pacts”, where none of the
campaign rules apply anyhow. And get
this- - they loan their “Pact” money to their “Campaign fund” at eighteen
percent interest- - that they are diligent to collect. So they actually end up paying themselves for
money they pretty much stole to begin with.
Not only are any and all personal expenses OK- - I mean they involve the
most extravagant trips to far away locations like Edinborough Scottland for a
wedding- - and they pay lobbyists and lobbyists pay them. Nepotism is rampant in ways that would never
be condoned by a Corporation in the private sector. Indeed during the government shut-down their
own lifestyle wasn’t infringed upon in the least. They see themselves as having this “lifestyle
entitlement” because of these “leadership pacts”, which is an old fashioned
political slush fund, and old fashioned bribing for political favors also rages
unabaited. They love to wind and dine
anybody and everybody, and they are downright self righteous about it, too, as “necessary”. Of course Sixty Minutes said that half of
congressmen leave to become Lobbyists full time, anyhow. So as I say, serving in congress is like an
apprenticeship for them.
It’s funny how you develop
RADAR about certain sounds- - like an animal of prey out on the Savanna or
something. If you miss your cue you’re
dead. I was getting coffee in the
courtyard and I heard the rumble of the floor mopping thing, which turned out
to be in the far hall on the second floor.
I also got lemon Jell-O but they had no spoon to eat it with so I had to
come back up here. There was some left
over stuff from the last paragraph of our last posting I can bore you with
now. For instance- - the word “valcon”
also spelled “falcon” and sometimes I’d spelled with an upside down B- - the
word means stalker or hunter- - but is most used to denote the occupation of
being a government Agent in Romulan.
Also the word “Rincon” means “Rendezvous” a shade different meaning from
Spanish. The word “Esquina” generally
means “market place” or town square or whatever- - however it can refer to
either having a corner office in a high rise- - or else a prime corner location
to draw business. The word tends to mean
“prominent” or “on the point”. There is
a “bird” group- - which the Flamingos, who made “I Only Have Eyes for You” are
from. The guitarist of that song is
Bejoran, by the way. Bejorans love to
point that out. I’m not sure if it’s the
Pheonix constellation- - but in their own tongue they call themselves either “The
Firebirds” or the “Thunderbirds”. More
information needed.
