- - - And the Hits Just Keep On Coming!




I made my way to Chris Matthews.   Now there is a brand new Christie scandal.  You will remember that Romney rejected this guy for Veep because he failed the vetting process.  He could not even come up to the standards of a crook like Romney.  How does that qualify him to be President?  Well now it seems some crooked people in the Sheriff’s department were prosecuted by State prosecutors on 43 specific counts of indictment.  The grand jury reguarded this case is one of the surest slam dunks they have ever seen.  Yet Governor Christie ordered his self appointed State Attorney General to fire this team of Prosecutors, and the more people you grill and the more you snoop around- - the worse the Governor looks.  Clearly this man is a man of political vendettas.   Even people who loved him back in the nineties as a no nonsense federal prosecutor back then, don’t know him now.  They are stunned and surprised.  With ever moral flaw turned out it only makes the political right love him more.  This was two segments, and the Obama security thing was another segment.  Let’s reflect a little more on Governor Christie.  On the Mc Laughlin group tonight it Pat or Mort Zuckerman dares to say that “Well if nothing else happens then Christie is off the hook as far as I can see” I’m going to gag.  I’ll tell you an example in my own life.  It was mid November of 1992 just before Joe and Kathy moved out.  At about one o clock in the afternoon I came down with a horrible case of diaria and felt overall really sick.  This went on for hours and perhaps about four thirty this deacon calls from the church asking how I’m doing and such.  Just a social call.  I told her I was really sick and I’d really appreciate it if she’d send over a bottle of Pepto Bismal.  She asked “are you vomiting?”  I said “Not yet”.  She said “Well then Pepto Bismal is for vomiting and not diaria.  I’m going to have to decline”.  I was flabberghasted.  But the odds of Governor Christie surviving this political scandal intact are about as high as my not making another trip to the bathroom all day.  As it happened I was vomiting perhaps within fifteen minutes after that phone call ended.   This latest instance with the firing of the prosecutors won’t sway Pat and Mort if none of the other stuff hasn’t.  But a psychologist would say “People will fight a lot harder to redeem an item from the pawn shop that they really care about, that they value, than another object perhaps of equal worth that they don’t have any particular sentiment tword.   How hard the political right is fighting to “redeem” Governor Christie only highlights how highly they value him.  It’s kind of like the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit seemingly will fight really hard to go after and seek out a Ted Bundy or a Tex Watson or a Bob Dylan.  But someone like you or me is of no particular commercial worth to God.   Lest you doubt what I say, I might fight dirty.  I’ll quote scripture to prove my point, and you know I can.

If a motorist sees a big hill upgrade coming what does he do?  He shifts his car into a lower gear.  He downshifts.  He's trading speed for more torque.  Now question.  Is the car's ability now to climb the mountain road a result of what the mountain did to the car, or what a decision the driver made?  Let me give you another example.  Al Qaeda now is winning victories gaining back ground they'd lost in "the surge" of 2007 by David Petraias' forces.  Is Al Qaida gaining this ground because the Melikee government is now weaker, or stronger?  Is the attack itself most likely going to increase or decrease the resolve of people living in Iraq under his rule to stick with him and be loyal.  Or would the tendancy be to weaken it?  We keep hearing about "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger".   You know, when I was a teenager both parents, first my Mom and then my Dad, made charges I was desplaying paranoid behavior.  Whether it's true or false doesn't matter in this story.  The question is "Does paranoia- - real or imagined make you stronger and more credible, or weaker and less credible?  Are you getting my point?   So now some would say that 9-11 made us stronger.  Neil Savedra would go so far as to say "We need tragedy in our lives because otherwise we'd never know who the heroes a among us were".   Question.  Does or does not God know everything?  If he knows everything then he already KNEW who the firemen and police heroes WERE - - BEFORE 9-11 ever happened.  So in God's sight was it necessary for 9 - 11 to happen?  No.  Many will ask the question "If something happened that SEEMED to have been preventable- - by NOT junking a streamlined computer system, or ordering an ignatic "Stand Down" order of NORAD, or being out of town for protracted periods of time, or by ignoring multiple and explicit CIA and other security intelligence.  Bush might say (I have no desire to put words in his mouth) "Well, we needed 9 - 11 to make us stronger.  The question is - - ARE we stronger?   Is Melikee of Iraq stronger now than he was the day he was elected?  You know- - a team owner might be willing to pay an up and coming gifted pitcher more than he'd pay one in his late thirties.  Why do you suppose that would be?  I mean doesn't all that arthritus pain and pulled muscles in an older pitcher make him "Stronger" because it GIVES him something to "Play through".  No?  But still we hear "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger".  That is untill the day they first use the "Damaged Goods" label on you.  (Just as an aside this "Damaged Goods" label used on anyone is what I'd call a "Sudden Death" move because it instantly Kills Off all Faith)  Yesterday a Christian leader might tell you "This conflict is to make you stronger so you cam help others".  But there comes our point, you vets know what I'm talking about- - there comes a point where they do a flip flop and say "You've been ruint".  (Like the Bo Didley song "I said you was Ruint, that's all)  They say that Jesus died after perfectly fulfilling "The Law" but isn't it strange if you go by "Who profits the most from this?" it's the ones who NEVER LIKED the law who profited from the Crucifixion.  Think about it, even if you're not a Jew. 


The Republican majority with 67 democratic congressmen passed an internet security bill that will keep the Obama Care insurance companies and the government from getting unauthorized personal information from hackers or something.  In the morning at 10:20 it was Melinda Lee who is making ready for the Chinese Newyear celebrations.  Leo Le Port had one older woman who has been using Windows ME since the late ‘nineties.  Leo says you can get fifteen inch notebooks, but Leo had said in the past “If they get too big they are like pizza boxes.  Windows puts out an RT system or something equivalent to Windows 8.1 on “Surface II”.   But what struck me was that they are getting rid of optical disk storage entirely.  Remember when people were saying “optics is the wave of the future”.  It’s one system of hard storage that’s easy to transport and also is immune to Solar magnetic storms or any other type of electro-magnetic perils that might be out there, and to me it’s insane not to have valued information, such as the government would keep, in that format.  Leo says even DVD’s are on their way out, and this is not the first time I’ve heard him say it.  This lady was still using the three & a half inch diskettes, whose provision for was dropped at least fifteen years ago.  In terms of that other caller with his “code pink” on Windows updates, there was a brief period where my Windows Updates would not “take” but the same one would be attempted over and over again.  I don’t remember how the problem was solved.  But any big company like Norton or Mac Affee or Firefox would plainly tell you that the incoming signal was being blocked for security reasons.  This must truly be some really off the wall “trial run” software that some joker salesman put on the machine.  Of course movement free Flash drives do speed up computer processing immensely, and trading speed for something smaller than the Grand Canyon is a no brainer, at least to me.  I don’t think the higher price would be a problem, either.   

Those of you cosmicly minded - - - the Seattle Sea Hawks are from the culture with the symbol of the White Horse.  (Not the Broncos)   The '49ers are also known of Vegans, spelled with one E and not two.  The word in Romulan means "palm tree' but that's neither here nor there.  They are also known as Del Phi, which we always spell using two words.  This is the same entity that supports the Delphonics (of course) and Rare Earth, and the Temptations (music done after they fired their first lead singer)  Both the Broncos and Patriots are the Pikes.  However the Pikes of Colorado are more "earth acclimated" because they have been on this planet longer.  The Pikes in New England are of a newer "Fresh off the boat" variety, and are considered more cantankerous and abbrasive.  Do you see what you learn reading my blogs?  Some of you out there are wondering about the drought in this State and can we do anything about it.  John Lennon was told in October of 2012 I believe "The weather on earth has now been delivered into your hands" so Lennon caused a downpour during a game in San Francisco, just as sort of a prank.  But frankly I fear that as far as probable rain is concerned now, that well has run dry.  Somethings "things happen" with weather prayers.  But personally I don't have any Faith in that happening.
