NEW EXPANDED LATE AFTERNOON EDITION
Some tea party Congressmen on a Republican fact finding mission to Israel were caught a few nights ago in some drunken orgy and one Congressman was swimming stark nude in the Sea of Galilee. It isn't particularly good PR with this hypersensitive media and the Today Show featured it as their lead headline. The congressman's name is Kevin Yoter of Kansas, and Paul Ryan has rebuked this group for their actions. It's a little bit too reminicent of that drunken and sex outing Ted Kennedy and his nephew were on in Palm Beach on a "usual family Easter retreat" in 1991 that Rush Limbaugh talked about on his show for weeks afterward. Meanwhile another congressman from Missouri was on TV over the weekend, Todd Akin, whom I've heard of- - said that in cases of "genuine rape" that the female body has a way of "shutting down" so that she can't get pregnent. Of course some take pause at the word "genuine" used by a tea bagger republican. Stephanie Miller or someone said that he must have human beings confused with ducks, because a female duck can put her vagina in the shape of a cork screw so that it can't be entered by an unwanted drake. And apparently pregnency results from about one in twenty rapes of women or something. Don't hold me to that figure. Of course this interview was on a local Missouri TV station to bolster Akin's Senate campaign. Now there are calls from even Republicans to drop out of that race, and political funding has already been pulled.These two stories indicate a tremendous ammount of "insensitivity" to a already hyped up public out there.
Just remember, Stu Baby, like Raphael have ways of suddenly showing up and wagging an accusing finger at you no matter how irrelivent you delude yourself into thinking he's become. In terms of political campaigns remember the adage "The Stars don't lie" and this Monday August 20th the Republicans are finding that out. But Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan both have themselves in more than there shares of trouble. Ryan and his mother go to country clubs and spend thousands of dollars the rest of us don't have. And they can't understand why they all shouldn't even have even MORE money from the government thrown their way under a Romney presidency while the rest of us languish. But not even Paul Ryan was as whacko in the past as he is now. He voted FOR the TARP bank bail-out, and he voted FOR the rescue of General Motors, despite Romney's statement of "Let GM go bankrupt". The whole idea of Ryan being a "fiscal hawk" is further belied because he voted for an early two thousands "economic stimulus package" that President Bush was promoting ten years ago to get us out of THAT economic slump using words to justify his vote almost identical to the President's now, and back then you actually got the idea that Ryan cared about the down and out. Via the magic of tape, we got to hear Paul Ryan's empassioned- - moving speech on behalf of TARP stressing how we are on an economic precipus on the verge of a major disaster, and he knew he had to vote conscience over politics because at the end of the day he had to go home to his wife and kids. Of course Paul Ryan's family has benefited greatly from the government over the years in highway construction and defense contracts. And now Ryan says he won't touch medicare for people my age and older. But Stephanie Miller and Chris Little made the point that "If Ryan's statements plan as he is saying it now is put into effect, they will be doing ski condition reports in Hell before Ryan's plan ever sees a balanced budget- and as it was it would not be till 2040, if I am still even alive them. (Hopefully I will be) Ryan also voted for the infamous Medicare part D, which is one thing where Judy and I are actually in agreement, that it was a horrible idea. Of course for Romney to endorse the Ryan economic plan at all means that Romney wants to pay between zero and one percent federal income tax in the future, something most voters would not take kindly to whether or not they ever see his past income taxes. As to Ryan's great Medicare "salvage" plan- - if it's really as GOOD as he claims then we old folks should say "We cant wait. We want some of THAT now", like a big bowl of tuti fruity ice cream that's dangled before us. Now of course Romney is endeavoring to take the "bitter edge" off the Romney-Ryan position by saying that rape victims would be safe and free to abort their fetuses under a Romney administration. This back-peddeling, while expediant, like ANY derivation from the Grover Norquist dictum, opens up the right flank to a scattering of the troops, particularly if old speeches are aired.
Meanwhile in Afghanistan- - it seems their government troops have killed ten of our men in the past week or so. The President and Romney both better be careful about trying to appear hawkish and saying "Out government has implicit Trust in the current Afghan government". Clearly anybody with a political spine would get out in front of this issue and say "This is why we can't have these indescriminate wars all over the world, leaping before we look, and getting into bed with the wrong governments. I would advise any future President to think long and hard about assuming a foreign power would be our ally in a subsequent war- - with anybody." If anybody has blood on their hands, it's our shoddy and undiscerning policy abroad in deciding whom we can trust and deal with. But for Mitt Romney to say that "This President has blood on his hands when it comes to medicare" is a highly over-blown, not to mention all together inaccurate metaphor. Don't you agree? I don't think we have seen the last of the flip-flops, and next week at the Convention in Tampa Bay, the Republican Party has a fresh oppertunity to re-invent itself with a lot of Americans, if they so choose.
In an age of instant flash drive and video tape replays, a course of action based on lies and deception is a whole lot harder to get away with.
At dawn my lover comes to me and tells me of her dreams.
With no attempt to shovel a glimpse into the ditch of what each one means.
Sometimes we are "tested" or "put on trial" not in the bad times, as one assumes, but rather- in the most auspicious times.

Expressing ignorance on a matter can be a most effective means of conveying a real put-down to your enemies, if you have the stones to pull it off. My detractors lack the mental energy and creativity to even come up with a good insult, and so rely on more passive-agravessive means of achieving the same thing.
In the song America the Beautiful there is a line about, "Who more than self their country loved, and Liberty more than Life". Could this line possibly be used as justification for making rape cases an exception to our abortion laws? "Well, if the shoe fits - - - "

Celebrety
news abounds. Whitney Houston’s final
movie ‘Sparkle” is out in theaters now and I’d kind of like to go see that
because apparently the acting and showmanship is good on all sides. The producer of smash movies like “Days of
Thunder and “Top Gun” - - I have here Tony Scott if that’s right - - anyhow he committed
suicide by jumping off the Vincent Thomas bridge in San Pedro, one of the architectural
wonders of the LA area. I’ve entertained
fantasies like that myself in the past.
I thought the whole “macho bravado” stuff in “Top Gun” was over-played
and it’s movies that showed back then in 1987 when our nation was not at war,
that kind of “set us up” for when we did go to war in the ‘nineties. He also Directed other famous non war
movies. Of course Directors are not the script writers and don't chose the plots. Their job is to make the action really "hum" whatever is set before them. This afternoon Phyllis Diller passed away at age 95 here in LA. She was an icon of my generation, back in the nineteen sixties. Then there is that story about
how the California State legislature is trying to push through a bill that
makes it illegal to give someone therapy for turning back to heterosexual from
homoxexual. I say this because research
says the majority of homosexuals have dated and have had sex and many have even
been married- - to a woman. Noted
Lezbian Tammy Bruce is a case in point who dated a cop and then broke it off
with him and refused to give him back the ring.
Tammy obiously has a dim view of the institution of marriage. Then you have Neil Savedra who appears to be
all over the map- - - though the gay stuff about him seems to have been taken
down from the internet. But employing
the ‘Harry Reid” principle, even with no hard information there, I had previously gleaned that Neil of KFI had shall we say “more
intimate contact with the gay community than I’d consider proper”. Evidence abounds that the gay lifestyle is an
unhappy lifestyle, and one would, you think, be grateful to anyone who could
rescue him from such a self defeating life style. And finally there is the news that Scott Mc
Kinsey died. This is the guy who sang “Are
you going to San Francisco”, which is enough to give his name cultural
immortality. The song was written by
Papa John Philips of the M & P’s. I
thought perhaps some of my CMK friends had been in personal contact with Scott
over the years but this morning FH denied any such contact by a CMK
member. I’m not sure I believe him. (one of us has a problem) and just one more little bit. I didn’t know whether “Apache” was a Bajoran
song or a Cortessian song- - and the guardians told me it’s Cortessian and the
Bajorans has nothing to do with the song.
That settles that.
The
Wikki leaks founder was speaking yesterday from the Equadorian embassy in
England where he has been granted asylum.
I’d heard his name yesterday and didn’t know whether he was a violent
criminal or embezzler or what. Only that
he was wanted all over the place and even England wants to extradite him. Julian Assange appears to be his name, and he
was speaking in a fine London accent. I
think Wikki leaks has shed a lot of needed light on many things improper that
our government is doing. But I get the
feeling that if President Obama gets the chance hell prosecute him during the
campaign to win brownie points. It would
be his “Sister Soldier moment” so to speak.
When push comes to shove this President really doesn’t care about the
consciencious left. My only departure
from Wikki leaks’ actions would be in the matter of “outing” foreign agents and
embassadors where current national security and lives are at steak. I would hope that in the future Julian
Assange would have the inner moral compass to know where to draw the line. And by the way I saw the Steven Tyler rerun
on Sixty Minutes last night.
You
know Dr. Levy wanted me to write another paragraph piece. All right, Dr. Levy I WILL write a
paragraph. How many of you know that Dr.
Levy is a shallow man. I didn’t say he
didn’t show compassion or that he wasn’t generous; he’s mentally shallow. You see the give-away in that single space
paragraph “sampler” on “various scientific theories” I wrote him- - which I
said is one of the poorest quality things I have written, and indeed many
“bits” excerpted it have been rewritten – often more than once, to get it
right. Yet he praised it - - but offering not one specific as to WHY he liked
it. He just said, “Oh, you talked about
string theory in that piece”. Well I had
one sentence about string theory as a theory that Some scientists believe in. He was talking about my letter last week to
him that I couldn’t remember what I wrote.
He said “Oh, you wrote about colors- - and some stuff about God - - and
you did some mental stream of consciousness stuff”. Let’s hit the last one first. I hit a number of topics I thought he and I
BOTH cared about and I didn’t want to make it a wordy letter so I went at a
conceise pace. It was not a “stream of
consciousness” or “mental free flow” or whatever. The next thing was the bit on Colors, where
clearly I am referring to changing font colors.
Anyone actually holding the letter in their hands would instantly see
what I was referring to. And as for
“Stuff about God” - - I don’t remember
and STILL don’t remember what in that letter he could be referring to. You know Dr. Levy will take a person’s
weakest point and suggest he write about it.
In my case it’s this pie in the sky “hope for events in the rest of my
life”. Clearly right now I don’t want to
talk about that because I see so little hope at the moment. Hope is not something that can be ordered or
mandated- - any more than Love can. And
may I suggest to Dr. Levy that if he really thinks that Hope is something we
should have he should lead by example and show a little more of it himself,
like have hope for the Economy and the Country at large, and not be among those
who let out a cheer anything something adverse happens to the national
presteige. And as for the idea of the
preachy introductory paragraph on Mental Illness he wanted to start his book
with, I am even more averse to the idea than I was at the time. In the first place I don’t believe the
majority of people who live here are actually mentally ill. Some may NEVER have been mentally ill. We are people looking for an opportunity, and
I thought that was his goal. We don’t
want to have some label on us and then he can tell his friends “Never talk
against the mentally ill- - why - - some of my best friends are those
wierdos”. He wouldn’t put it like that
but you know what I mean. He kind of
sees us all as trained dogs and he wants us to jump through hoops like write
not only what HE wants us to write about but also HOW he wants us to write
about it saying “try to use metaphors in nature”. He wants a lot of little Dr. Levy’s out there
endeavoring to be his clones, his minions.
What I wondered about is whether I lose the rights to my own writings
and personal thoughts, by their appearing in that book. As to the incident Arleen told us about last
week- - including that story in the book would not only be pointless but
counter productive. You note I’ve never
brought it up in Word. But you have
these shallow people in politics too.
That whole “put you all back in chains” quote took a few seconds. What I’d like to know is “How long did they
have to scour through a half hour speech or whatever to even find that
quote?” Yet it gets repeated dozens of
times, as though it were THEE most Important item in Byden’s speech that
day. Only a really shallow person would
think in those terms ignoring the major fact that what Joe Byden was saying was
completely true- - about economic servitude of the 99%.
Footnote number one: The whole idea Dr. Levy got that I "talked a lot about God" in my letter to him - - comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of the point I was trying to make about the inherent benefits of Deductive Logic, that can often be used by such professions as Private Investigators, Cops and in the legal community. Here is the original passage in question. The thought just hit this afternoon of "Why investigate something for imperical deductive evidence that you have already established as indisputable fact through deductive logic? I'm thinking about certain geometry problems where a smart person might say "Well just look at the diagram, it's OBVIOUS those two angles are equal". There are times in life where your own error in investigating a Truth is only a hinderace and not a help. But then again I suppose many religious people who substitute "God" for "Logic" would say the same thing about
Footnote number two: Mike Bloomfield came forward as that "Scot Mc Kinsey leak" or the guy who was for decades in leazon contact with Scott Mc Kinsey's guardian angel, who is an Andromidan.
Footnote number three: MIA COPA TIME FOR MARCUS Missouri Senate candidates are not the only ones that get carried away in their attempt to make or justify a point. Last week I was talking about weight loss and I said that a 200 pound person man metablizes no more calories than a man weighing 150 pounds. This is wrong, obviously. He has that many more cells to feed and all those cells are metabolizing energy. I only said this because my own condition, which may not be medically normal- - indicates a seeming ongoing "calorie deficet". I need to get myself medically checked out once and for all and stop letting my own personal life interfere with my medical objectivity.
Footnote No. 4: This is Monday August 20, 2012. I just checked the moon calculations and it would seem that the night event in question was with quite a bit more than a half moon and in fact they said the moon rose at 10:30 PM that night, which would kind of make it a five-eights moon or something.
