I R S Scandal - What I R S Scandal?

Let’s talk about this whole so called I R S scandal.  I wanted to wait until Randi Rhodes had weighed in on this issue before I commented on it at length.  Because clearly there IS no “scandal”.  And for the media and even the President to buy into the idea that there IS some sort of “scandal” shows what whooses they all are.  Because the law is clear according to Randy.  Groups filing under this file category have to be non political non profit “service organizations” who have to “primarily” be engaged in some sort of service to society.  Clearly these tea party groups are not primarily engaged in any such thing but in fact are Primarily- - Political Action Comittees.   Their whole role is to promote various political candidates and work for the outcome of legislation that is in their Interest.  As such the IRS not only has the right but is bound by law to scrutinize these groups carefully before lending them special status.  Nobody wants to have the Internal Revenue Service on their case.  Indeed this is “a fate worse than death” because once the IRS gets on your case about something they won’t let go but keep hounding you.  And the thing is you basically Have no rights because the IRS is an entity unto itself.  If you are a distributer of medical marijuana, for instance, or a dealer in a Las Vegas casino. The chances are virtually a hundred percent that you will be audited.  But groups like Americans for Prosperity, which is a Koch Brothers group, or groups dedicated to “taking back the government’ are overtly political.  I wish the media would have been objective about this story from the git go.  Randi points out that once the congressional hearing is convened people like the Koch Brothers should be called as witnesses and asked all of those hard questions Americans have been wanting to ask them for years.  The problem is that this President when push comes to shove- - will seldom stand up for just and right causes.  Other than Obamacare and gay marriage- - you’d be hard pressed to come up with an issue of concern to progressives that this President gives a diddly-doo about.  I find the presidents “coolness” about virtually everything kind of unnerving, to tell you the truth.  It’s like he’s got ice water in his veins.

Here is a breaking news story.  In California they want to reduce the legal blood alcohol level for driving to point .05%.   Point 08% is over-bearing, but point .05% is completely absurd.  It's pretty much like they are shooting for the outright banning of having had any alcohol and driving.  You know in China they have really strict laws about a lot of things - - but only chose to Enforce them on political Enemies.  I think the same thing could happen here.  When you consider that untill 1965 the level was .15% - - the idea of reducing it this much is completely self-defeating.  Clearly other things such as distractions in the car - texting - age - senility - - medication - - for instance 'sleep driving' on Ambien - - or just being physically sleepy for that matter- - have a far more profound effect on performance does ingestion of less than two glasses of wine, or whatever this figure ammounts to.  It's as nutty as all of these outdoor smoking bans, or getting rid of fire pits along Southern California beaches.  Are the incidence of violent Crimes in this State so low that cops and the courts have all that extra time to sit around ajudicating these cases. (?) 

As to the Kings and the Sharks, the Federation is supporting the Kings.  Unlike most of the Bay Area - - the Sharks have absolutely no cosmic pedigree at all.  In Bekersfield these eight Sherif's all gamged up beating of some lower income 34 year old in Bakersfield with four kids - - to death.  Tanya Hart played the 911 call an eye witness made.  They said the cops were going around conthiscating people's I Phones, because there were many witnesses to this event.  There was this one guy lying on the ground and these eight cops were just whaling on him beating in the head- - kind of a regular Raphael Hernandez treatment.  (My guess of the ethnicity of the victim is that he is Latino).  Someone said that these kinds events have occurred in Bakersfield before.  I always got positive vibes from Bakersfield myself.  - - FH says "This is not what Romulans do".  It isn't what "White Andromidans do either".   They and the Romulans share Kern County in sort of a checkerboard pattern.  

Then we have another Sunday story I haven’t gotten around to talking about till now and that is this guy who had a fence dispute with his neighbor takes a bulldozer and starts plowing into homes.  I can’t imagine what the bill for the property damage he’s caused will be.  I just hope the guy doesn’t declare bankruptcy or something and escape all repayment.    How much needless "energy" is wasted in long time personal feuds?  Here is another question for Neil Savedra.  Neil likes to tell us what a wonderful thing Evil is because "It brings out the selfless heroic deeds of certain people".  I have a question.  What if all that energy spent in combating Evil- - was Instead harnessed in working for some new Good, like find a cure for cancer or genetic defects?

Dr. Joyce Brothers died a day or so ago.  She’s one of those celebreties I thought I’d heard had passed away perhaps a year or so ago, but it just happened.  Maybe it’s my “mental radar’ or something.  I first heard of Joyce Brothers I guess when she was a guest speaker on ABC news or something.  She’s a psychologist who was always up-beat and positive, and never got into any of the weird stuff other people have ventured into.  There used to be a lot of daytime psychologists with shows on the radio.  Twenty or thirty years ago they were a talk-show staple, but they seem to be all gone now.  You had Tony Grant.  She was the most famous one.  But you also had people like David Viscott and Barbra DeAngeles and Laura Schleshenger, before she got religion and got politically weirded out and began using the N word with callers.

Tanya Hart is upset about the idea that the world’s oldest profession is still alive and well.  Apparently she was ticked off at this Mayor of Osaka. Japan saying that prostitution was par for the cource during World War II and in the war they were referred to as “comfort women”.  Tanya Hart isn’t against our men having a little “comfort” with their R & R, is she?  So many women, more in the media than in person, seem to intone that “Men don’t know what women’s true needs are”.  If you took these people seriously you’d get the idea that women in general have a major need NOT to engage in sex, at least with a man.   Some people are inconsistent as hell on the subject of sexual morays.  For instance Neil Savedra of KFI is insensed that a Christian church would not want an openly gay person going to their church.   And yet these people say “Hetrosexual people commit sins too”.   Here’s an eye opener for you.  Untill very recently there was NO legitimate outlet for gay sex.  At least with heterosexual sex a substantial portion of it was conducted within the bounds of marriage.  And as Dennis Prager points out (and Tanya Hart may agree) that women are “moralizers’ to “keep men on the right track”.  When gay sex – all of this is thrown out the window, because the majority of their sex is bar hopping one night stands having sex with several partners a week- - and that partner is just as morally licensious as they are so there is no restraint or brake put on the encounter.  This whole thing Days of our Lives is doing with the image of gays is like putting lipstick on a pig.

In terms of the Los Angeles mayoral race I wouldn’t vote for either of these jerk-offs at this point because both are guilty of political scandals that would disqualify them for dog catcher, as the saying goes, let along mayor.  But particularly Garsetti.  The idea that with the skeletons in his closet he’s even among the top two- - is indicative that someone’s moral compass is broken.  But Wendy Gruel is no prize either.  She’s got this deal with the Dept of Water and Power which is pretty blanket political bribery and special interest.

A drifting large sheet of ice in Minnesota flattened several houses near a lake side because the ice block was massive and wasn’t melting- - but it was just sliding over the frozen ground – and there was apparently no way to stop it.   This made the news two days in a row.    We should really bad freak things like this don't happen more often, such as the Chiahoga River catching fire due to industrial pollutants, or sink holes opening up in the ground and devowering houses, or the spungelitus virus (mad cow disease) that turns your brain tissue to sponge.  Of course Star Trek pushes the Freaky to heights not exceeded to this day.  Take that "disturbance" in the atmospheric continuoum or whatever that Captain Piccard was tricked into causing himself by "Q" that "spread into the past' and got bigger and bigger the farther back into the past you went.  The thing with Stories is that they always happen the way Writers want them to happen.  All else has to subordenate itself to the plot- - even reason and logic.  If people read the Bible with an eye tword asking simple questions such as 'If I were actually there would I have thought people were acting normally?"  Most stories "break down" upon logical scruteny.  For instance whoever Wrote - the New Testament - - was not at all fond of the notion of the Jewish people being rewarded in their lives and nation is they were but pious and dealt with sin severely and didn't worship foreign idols.  The trouble is when the Jewish people meet all these criteris and Still are acursed by God- - you have to ask yourself "Who's Telling This Story?"  (Selah)

Two more groups who are in the “Torino” group - - are the Outsiders with “Time Won’t Let Me”.  I mention this because they put a hex on the Smithereens for using this song in 1994 without their cosmic permission - - and the group – which had been high flying for eight years – was never heard from again, but gets virtually no plays on oldies stations.  The other artist is Bobby Hebb with “Sonny”.  And I guess it’s understandable why I would have forgotten that one.   Lee Dorsey - and Robert Parker (?) “Barefottin” are both Portland Reigelians, and along with a group that had seven hits in all (although the two 1965 hits were rather corn-ball), the Kingsmen, are the only submissions I know about by them.  I am reminded by Bones that Sam Cooke is residing on Sirius “O” right now.  In terms of en-grams some say they only come AFTER an event.   But I myself go for the “Helen Wheels” approach.  As you on my copy of the disk there are two “print through” previews of the opening guitar rift before the song actually begins.  I think they should do that all the time.  This is the way that engrams work in that they are not time sensitive.  Or stated another way- - they are not subject to the influence of the Higgs Bozon.   People don’t “cause” this or that event with positive or negative thoughts- - but the Event may CAUSE positive or negative thoughts in advance.
