Perils from Many Directions

Today is Friday October 10, 2014 and E J Di Mira is dead.  That scum bag from the country killed him.  Shot him dead.  I knew that Clyde was up to no good the first time I saw him.  But what is puzzling is how come E J didn’t travel with a bunch of body guards who would take immediate vengeance.   Obviously now the entire Di Mira family is going to come after Clyde.  And I’m not sure why he did it.  Is being spurned in a business deal worth killing somebody over?  But what is stranger is the suddenness with which he was pronounced dead.  If they spent five seconds on him I’d be surprised.  And of course now Samantha is the “bad guy” who “refuses to accept it” as this envelope of people descends around her vowing to keep the death hushed up, as if that were even possible- - to keep the press from finding out.  Killing off E J is a radical move for the plot writers because he was such a central character.  Although it does possibly pave the way for Samantha and Raphael to get back together.   Chad will be interviewed as a suspect, and you know that Samantha is going to suspect Kate also.  The whole thing is just too trippy.

 Sean Hannity was just brimming over with negative on the twin perils to the planet of ISIS and Ebola.  Sean had a guest on who stated that over 200,000 cases of Ebola were going to arrive here from Africa in the next few years.  And of course all those children flooding over across the border from Central America are bringing a bunch of new and horrible diseases with them.  The news of the day would give anybody a heart attack.   Now they say that ISIS had encircled half of Bhagdad in a 180 degree arc.  Of course the President is lambasted for not putting “boots on the ground” however unless the deployments to Iraq were instantaneous, they wouldn’t have arrived in time to prevent what has happened.    Meanwhile some kid wants Rush Limbaugh to write one of his “Rush Revere” books on the Alamo.   Rush says “However I tell the story it will be the real truth of what happened”.  Somehow I doubt Rush knows about the “real truth” of anything.

The Bill Handel show was literally drenched in hypocrisy this morning.  There was a question put forth about “Which is more of a threat to world peace – the United States – or ISIS?” which is a loaded question to begin with.  After some hemming and hawing- - Bill Handel came out and said that “We should be the world’s policeman and cram our values down nations of the rest of the world, and if they don’t go along with that then bomb them back to the stone age”.  That would be like Paul as secretary of defense.   I am convinced that when the antichrist comes he’ll like Allester Crane or somebody who is in a position of POWER because of prior manipulation of circumstances so that the people he demagogues to won’t DARE question his words, even if they were inclined to.  You have to know that someone like a Bill Handel or a Glen Beck would be ready for World War III at the drop of a hat.  There was talk about some new police shooting who apparently shot a man seventeen times for being ‘”armed with a Subway sandwich” wrapped in aluminum foil.  And the police saw a “glint of something metallic” and began blasting away.  But “Not all of the seventeen shots hit their mark”, which makes me wonder what happened to the other twelve or fifteen bullets that missed.  This cop obviously has bad vision if he can’t distinguish between a gun and aluminum foil.

The ISIS forces have been trying to take this “key city” of Kabani near the Turkish border and a lot of Kurdish refugees have been flooding across the border into Turkey.  In other news Adrian Peterson, the football player who beat his four year old son with a tree branch, remarked during a drug test “I’ve smoked a little weed lately” and the authorities are suspicious.  Meanwhile someone sneased on an airliner in flight and remarked “I have ebola” and now the whole plane has to undergo anti-viral cleaning.  Kim Jung Un has not been seen in North Korea for over a month and didn’t attend an important Communist holiday assembly- and people are thinking either the NC leader is gravely ill- - perhaps complications from a leg thing- - or else there has been a government coup they aren’t telling people about.  Meanwhile they handed out two awards this year for the Nobel Peace prize- - and one of the winners was that seventeen year old young woman who was instrumentsl in speaking out for educating women in Pakistan.  

 Jerry Brown is touting his idea on TV ads of propositions one and two.  “1” is for water conservation.  Brown would have us to believe that “We have wet years and we have dry years”.  Show me the last “wet” year.  The last period that was even vaguely “wet” was the last few weeks and first week or so of 2011.  Basically we’ve had three dusters since then.  Now with the prospect of more than a few snowflakes together in one place in Lake Toho then the weather people have a whoopy fit.  And as far as proposition two is concerned.  We don’t need to “save” any more money because people like me and all the people in here and poor people all over the state need that money NOW, and not some mythical time of “economic recession” as though we haven’t been in one of those for the past seven years.  Give me a break! 

 It’s the relation with Paul that “Crashed and Burned” last night- - not the anti smoking attempt.  Indeed a therapist studied in psychology would say “Paul, why are you so desperate to employ any method to try and derail Charlie from giving up smoking?”   It’s kind of the same thing as President Bush going into Iraq when there were no Al Qaeda there in 2002, “But don’t worry.  With our skilled mis-management we’ll remedy that problem in short order”.   Government people who know these things state that “ISIS is not a present threat to the United States”.  But with the right dexterous mismanagement by our government we should be able to remedy that situation if we work hard enough at it, and get ALL of the Moslems mad at us over there, and not just Al Qaeda or ISIS.   I think my family is an adherent to the slogan of “Never let a good crisis go to waste” even if you have to completely manufacture a crisis to get your foot in the door.”   It is now less than 45 minutes to the John Black countdown on DL.

The whole John Black expose was a bust.  John lied, and nobody knows why except out of some tit for tat against Christine, which is self defeating for everybody, but most of all John.  Christine has a point that whoever Teresa teams up with will get drugged or something and may well end up dead.  Why not just ship her back to LA?   Then it was coffee in the courtyard and I had two cups from the young housekeeper.  Larry gave me a Clipper, which is like smoking lettuce.  I don’t think I felt one bit different after smoking the thing than before, but to a lesser extent- any non white cigarette isn’t giving you your nicotine’s worth.  It’s almost time for Norman Goldman, and for Paul to get off work.  If he says he’s reconsidering and in-vites me to that movie, I’m not going.  I just lost my movie spirit, particular Christian movies.  I would prefer Paul wait himself - - and both of us try and put yesterday out of our minds.
