Next Civil War?

Some people think that Americas Civil War was justified. I'm not one of them. Killing 700,000 plus citizens in the pursuit of freeing the kitchen help strikes as me as the height of foolishness. Now Arizona has passed legislation that will hopefully turn back the flow of illegal felons who come to America. I hope other states will follow. And if the U.S. government wants to stop that kind of self-defense legislation then they may get a modern civil war that is entirely justified. Anyone for enlisting in an Arizona militia?

Goldman Sachs & Savvy Investors

Goldman Sachs executive testimony before U.S. Senators kept referring to their clients as savvy investors who understood complex financial derivatives. Oh yea. Then everyone knew that they had the capability to bring down the whole worlds economies. How savvy is that?

China: Enter The Nationalize Dragon

China is in the news today. The peering government that could be called "Chink"because of squinting inspection, continues to roll out compulsory snitching guidelines for telecom service providers from any part of the world who operate there. Google balked at cooperating and moved ops to Hong Kong. It seems that China will nationalize private information first. Second it's a mere hop and and a skip to nationalize plants owned by foreign business. The clumsy and greedy of the West are easily trapped by the reptilian Chinese.

Don't Look Too Close

A Russian proverb says ," Give me the mans name and I'll find his crime". An anonymous saying is "Nobody can bare close scrutiny". An explanation for these similar statements could be that the closer anyone is examined the more that isolated facts are taken out of context.

Hence rhetorical arguments and half truths mistakenly characterize.

Supreme Court Got It Wrong

Black flowing robes cover primates as they sit in classical buildings. They observe the customs , mummeries and procedures of Supreme court lawgivers. Yesterday our motely group with an 8 to 1 decision allowed that it was OK to produce and sell videos of animal torture and death. These types of films are called crush films. The super majority opinion thought there were some instances that could impinge on First Amendment rights of citizens if these films were outlawed. For example, a video of a cock fight in Puerto Rico could be a criminal offense if the video was found in someones possesion in the U.S. Well for that one example and some other possibilities a whole menu of ugly and gratuitous maiming , torture and death of hapless and helpless animals are now eligible to become stars in real-life horror movies. Just so we can protect the sick and morbidly curious human. What's next?

There are too many laws with too little critical thinking about the possible unintended consequences of those laws. A better world would allow the immediate assassination of animal abusers on the spot.

Two al-Qaida Dead: BFD

Headlines screamed that 2 al-Qaida leaders were killed in Iraq over the weekend! Also in the news was airlines at standstill because of volcanic ash. Also new figures show over 1.3 million Iraqis killed since the invasion. Also Goldman Sachs reported record profits due to its skill in fraud. Also Catholic priests scandal stretches into Latin America. More suicide bombings in Iraq. More suicide bombings in Pakistan. More suicide bombings in Afghanistan. More friendly fire deaths in all theaters of U.S. engagements. More civilians deaths in all theaters of U.S. engagements.

But, hey, the news of two al-Qaida leaders dead was right there up in lights. Where has critical thinking gone? I'll tell you. When you have too much money you can get by for a time without critical thinking. A bankrupt America will bring back more critical thinking.

Citigroup Wins in Trading Markets

Citigroup reported a $4.5 billion profit in its latest quarter. It was due largely to trading profits from its brokerage division. Is this a way to run a banking institution? Bank depositors have to carry the burden of hoping their bankers guess correctly when trading stocks, bonds and financial instruments. If not then the deposits end up in someone else's pocket.

The Gods Turn on Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs opened its new $2.1 billion pretentious headquarters. It's a monument to how much money can be made by lying cheats who produce NOTHING. GS Director Rajat Gupta resigns due to allegations he's connected to an unfolding insider trading scandal with Galleon Securities and today the SEC charge GS with civil fraud in a subprime hedge fund offering. This happened all in one week. The gods turn quickly when hubris envelops mortals.

Hopefully the civil fraud turns into a criminal case. Maybe RICO charges may come later if other Wall Street gangsters are shown to be connected to the SEC action. This is necessary. There has to be consequences for the past financial debacle.

Was Andrew Stern of SEIU Threatened ?

"Socialistic Fanatic Union Boss Resigns After Major Victory" could be an incredulous headline. But in fact Andrew Stern of the Service Employees International Union resigned today. He was recently appointed to a prestigious Presidential commission by Barack Obama on ways to cut the deficit. This was a partial payback for all the work that the SEIU did in helping BO get elected. Also his union has been the equivalent of street thugs-Hitler had "Brown Shirts"- for the democratic party in squelching dissent at "town hall" meetings no matter who ran the meeting.  That "i" in the SEIU stands for international and probably meant he would take his union around the world as per the communists of the 1920s. Yet he resigned. 

Could he be fearful for his security and health? Has he been threatened?

Possible Lexus Recall Hysteria

When it rains it pours. Toyota's hubris and greed has led it to lose credibility by its massive recall of vehicles due to sudden acceleration. Now the trusted "Consumer Reports" has issued a very rarely used "Don't Buy" advisory on the Toyota manufactured 2010 Lexus GX 460. CR claims there is a rollover danger. Toyota immediately reponded and pulled the model off the market today. They had sold 4800 units so far.

I can see it now. Hysterical reporting claiming a Lexus rollover when PARKED simply by opening the driver-side door!

What's That Smell? It's the Chinese Middle Class

With all due respect to domesticated Chinese-Americans, it's alarming that their mainland home China now is producing middle class by the pallet full. Just yesterday China anounced a trade DEFICIT with its trading partners in the amount of $7 billion. Also China recently anounced that their domestic car sales are up 63% over last year. That puts them on track to consume over 13 million cars this year. That's 25% larger than Americas projected total. While there will be more Chinese killed in the crosswalks in Bejing by the visually, peripherally impaired , it will not be nearly enough to curb this unfolding environmental peril.

China has app. 1.25 billion munching, belching and defecating organisms. Imagine how many great swaths of forest will disappear worldwide overnight when all those types get credit cards. How many species will go extinct?How much fresh air will be polluted with rancid cooking greases and coal-fired plants? Buy American folks and starve the pests out.

Blue fin tuna wont have a chance. Eighty percent of their numbers have disappeared and ended up in Japanese bellies who consume 80% of the yearly catch. And now the Chinese are weighing in. Well if a war breaks ot between the Japanese and Chinese over the last sushi then the Blue fin will have a chance.

War these days between environmental terrorists has its definite upside.

Israel Learning Shame?

Israel's Prime Minister has made a turnaround about attending a nuclear summit in Washington. Two days ago he was coming. Today he's staying home. But he's sending a delegation. The reason given by his spokesman was "other" nations would use the forum to talk about Israel's 200 or so nuclear weapons. I.E. How can Zionists wag their finger at anyone about nukes when they themselves are sitting on a pile with a delivery system also?

On second thought, this would be the first time that a Zionist has been shamed into keeping their hypocritical personalities out of sight. Now that would be a first. What is the reason then? Who knows? One thing for sure is their injustice and slow-motion genocide of the Palestinians will be returned to them with interest. Justice has never failed to show up.

Poor Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is in the news today with more shameless self promotion. She's wearing the latest expensive wig that was in style with white women in the 1950s. She doesn't get it. Not only is the style too retro and not appropriate, but the wig features her very monkey face in the extreme.

Politicians Threatened By Death: Temporary or New Normal?

Today the F.B.I. reported the arrest of a person who threatened murder to Senator Patty Murray of Washington. Also today the F.B.I. announced the arrest of a man who threatened to kill both House Speker Nancy Pelosi  and her husband, Paul. Last week Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, who is also the Republican minority whip, got a death threat and a bullet hole in his office window. The man who threatened Cantor was arrested. It's not clear whether he 's also the one that fired the gun. All arrested people used the passage of the unpopular healthcare bill as the reason. While Cantor was opposed to the passage of the bill, the F.B.I. maintained that the healthcare bill was the reason for he being targeted. It should be noted that Cantor is an active Zionist. He supports Israel and preaches that America should support it at all costs against all countries and all peoples. No matter what the cost to the U.S. I suspect his allegiance to Israel upsets more than a few people.

Trouble in paridise. Is this the end of the salad days for low talented, no moral compass reps in Congress? Is there a price for lies, wars without end and binge spending by this criminal class ? I hope so. Congress does crimes in a legal way. Therefore, by definition, to oppose Congress with the same kind of brute force they use is termed illegal. The laws of the lands didn't protect the French nobility when they lost their heads or the British Empire when the colonials seized America from King George II.

The three people who were involved in the Murray, Pelosi and Cantor episodes don't appear to be related or commomly organized. They just had the same idea at the same time. That's the most dynamic kind of movement- instant recognition and plans by everyday people happening in a spontaneous way. Lookout if they get organized.

P.S. My new book of fiction predicts revolution in the U.S. It's titled " Contempt of Congress: Bay Boomers Talk, Sex, Race, Politics, Environment & Revolution" . Fiction today, fact tomorrow.

Personal Advice on Healthcare Coverage for the Healthy

The recent passage of "healthcare reform" offers opportunity for healthy people to save money on insurance coverage. Since insurnace companies can no longer refuse coverage on pre-existing illness, it makes no sense to pay premiums if one is healthy. So healthy people should drop coverage and pay the relatively cheap penalty. But when the healthy become sick then just sign up for coverage and get all that is due you without caps. I don't know how long this will last. Because the the rate paying sick will eventually bankrupt the system. 

iPad: Mixed Reviews

iPad reviews according to Twitter are mixed at best. Certainly the price of Apple stock is not prepared for this lukewarm reception by the legions of Appleheads. The biggest rap is price compared to apparent usefulness. The second wrap is it's too hard to operate. This refers to no physical keyboard and weight of 1 1/2 pounds. Also there is no angle for typing unless an accessory is also bought.

So western civilizations poster product for economic recovery has met the reality of the consumer. 

Preacher Obama Is Tiresome

I'm not a church-going man. I don't disapprove of churches or church- going people. To each his own. But I do disapprove of Preacher Obama. He and his loyalists are constantly wagging their fingers at me and others about how "we" owe ever increasing amounts of care to others. He and his followers have an attitude of religious rightousness about them that is nauseating. This is paricularly bothersome when he directs expensive aid to people who don't take themselves seriously . Why should I care about someone when that someone doesn't care about him or herself? That person may choose to be overweight, choose to have a sexually transmitted disease, choose to game the system of entitlements, etc. Let them reap their harvest.

There is money in mega churches. But there's more money and power in mega government. That's why Obama choose the biggest bully pulpit.

Shut up Preacher Obama .

George W. Bush In Haiti

Former President G.W. Bush is visiting Haiti to view the earthquake damage. He had to be provided a "before" photo of Port-au-Prince before he got it.

Pelosi : Look Out Below

Todays front page of the San Francisco Chronicle has Speaker Nancy Pelosi walking down Pennsylvania Avenue  surrounded with her democratic allies. The photo was taken yesterday. She's carrying the super-sized gavel that was used when Medicare was passed in 1965. The smile on her face was gleeful and tempted the gods. The gavel could be a metaphor for a large dildo and her smile could be one of relief from a large orgasm.

But now it's over Pelosi. The bill passed late last night . Now live with the aftermath and hangover of bankrupting government handiwork.

Blue Fin Tuna In Peril

Blue Fin Tuna stock has collapsed. Eighty percent of the "tiger of the sea" have been slaughtered and ended up mostly in some Japanese stomach. What a way to go. Its fate is largely representative of fish and mammals that humans eat. Efforts to cut back on the killings have largely come to nothing. The most recent example was yesterday when a proposal to limit fishing of the Tuna was voted down by concerned countries. What will happen if the fish go extinct which some are predicting could happen in app. 10-20 years? To quote Scarlett O'Hara, "Tommorrow is another day." So in the mean time its a race to take the Blue Fin to the brink while making the most per ounce while the countdown to extinction goes on.

Also China is licking its collective, smelly chops for more Shark Fin soup and the devestation that brings to shark stocks. Estimates range up to 70 million sharks a year are killed to feed the Asian appetites. All those newly minted middle class Chinaman are bewildering.

I'm struck by the possible postive side effects of a massive human flu and epidemic.

Healthcare Reform & Political Correctness

The push for "healthcare reform" is the latest folly of political correctness.  America will be bankrupted by this peice of legilation which will extend full service healthcare to the great unwashed, uncaring and unhealthy .

But if it passes, then we will be one quick step closer to the final day of reckoning when all things politically correct will be eliminated because of  unsustainability and costliness.

Open Carry In Congress Would Help Image

Wouldn't it be refreshing if members of Congress adopted Open Carry in the Halls of Congress? Mere politics would be raised from the store- bought variety to real convictions with lethal back-up. Bring back duels and dry-gulching. The citizens would cheer no matter who won because the winners would be deserving of credibility.

Senator Harry Reid's Family in Car Accident

Today in Virginia Senator Harry Reid's wife and daughter were in a car accident.

I was in San Francisco.

Citigroup Wants To Concentrate On Emerging Markets

Today Citigroup's CEO Vikram Pandit was talking up the prospects of his bank. He said it would soon be profitable. He also said that going forward he wanted to concentrate his banks activities and loan portfolio in favor of "emerging markets".

One of the problems with America's weak recovery is a lack of credit that is available to small and large business. Also this is the same bank that received over $45 billion from the American taxpayor. But he wants to go to Asia with his best efforts. 

Go to hell Citigroup.

China's Communists Government vs. China's Bourgeoisie

At the same time the U.S. -capitalism-is fighting creeping socialism, China - communism-is fighting creeping legions of the bourgeoisie. Where will the outcome leave both countries and their governments? One has to refer to the laws of physics to get a peak at the future of these two diametrically opposed philosophies. Physics dictates that only the low cost producer will survive. In this application , only the elements of both societies will remain after both governments collapse because of their own nonrelavance.

And the winner will be the individual with skills.

Maurice R. Greenberg: Sleaze Expert

Today the Wall Street Journal gave space to the sleazey, disgraced AIG executive Maurice Greenberg. Maury did a piece titled " Six Steps Toward Financial Reform".  

Yes, Maury we know you know how to reform the financial system. Because you were one of the first to identify its weakness' in regulatory oversight and bring on the collapse of your own firm.

Jack Murtha: Nickel-Novel Life

What stopped Rep. Jack Murtha? Death done him in. The House ethics commettee never found anything wrong inspite of the hundreds of violations that they examined- amazing. Jack died quietly and successfully after years of stealing. His life reads like a nickel novel.

Can the U.S. wait for natural causes to end the tenure of unnaturally greedy members of Congress? Return power and money to the states and limit the amount of stealing by representatives in government.

Haiti: Credibility Problem

After 200 years of self rule, Haiti has little to show except overpopulation, environment degradation and corruption in its government. How can one take the country seriously when they don't take themselves seriously. The country had more purpose and was in better shape under French colonial rule. Only time that was better than that was when there were no people on the island.

Teachers Union & Good Education

Considering all the money the United States has spent on education and considering the relentless stair step down in the world wide standings of American students it is safe to conclude that there is no significant connection between money spent and good education received. A corrollary would also imply that an expensive bureaucratic, teachers union is clearly an unnecesary expense.

Congress Says No To Fixing Wall Street & Everyone Else Should Spend

The Wall Street Journal today carried the news that 4 unnamed, key senators are against limiting proprietary trading by Wall Street firms. This is another example of how we are alone against the gangsters of Wall Street and their contemptable, bribed enablers in Congress. Proprietary trading by banks that have insured deposits by the government is how and why we had the recent financial meltdown in worldwide financial markets. And we are not through with that debacle yet. But our law makers refuse to reform the Street and are setting up an even greater collapse in the future.

The Journal also carried the news in another article that the Wall Street bankers received app. $20 billion in bonus money in 2009. That's a 17%  increase from the year before despite the near depression. There you have it. All it takes is money and congress is yours. 

Meantime Obama and Congress are spending money like drunken sailors and prodding all in the U.S. to spend. How can people or business owners feel secure about the future when the predators of Wall Street are still roaming and still able to financially kill at will?

The New York Times carried an article on how many states are liberalizing their gun laws. Take advantage of these new laws and prepare for the future. Hopefully it won't be necessary but how can one trust in any government?

Rockstar and Philosopher: What's In A Name?

A person called a philosopher was many years ago a high honor. Well now if a person is called a rockstar that is the ultimate. A word or a few words to the wise would be enough. I.E. philosopher being replaced by rockstar would speak volumes about the evolution or the devolution of the human.

The last time I saw a rockstar, he was emaciated,raging ,couldn't speak clearly or quietly and looked like he needed a shower with strong cleaning solvents. On the other hand my last experience with a philosopher was reading Plato's accounts of Socratic conversations. Something entirely different. They did share one common thread. Both philosopher Socrates and rockstar indulged in a kind of rage. Both commented on society. But the rockstar's rage was brutal, blurred and hard to follow. The philosopher's rage was thoughtful, thought provoking and pleasant.

Why Black History Month ?

February is drawing to a close. It's Black History Month. Why do we have a Black History Month? It's very apparent that every month is Jewish History Month. Maybe because they are better organized and have a lot more to try to explain away. But why are there no French History Month, Chinese History Month, Irish History Month etc, etc, . You get the idea.

Well since this is Black History Month, what have the blacks learned or want to say about things? Have they anything to offer or thump their chests about ? Or is this all about the selling of guilt to any buyers who think so little of themselves that they think they still owe the blacks more than they owe all the rest?

Successful blacks are a plenty. Most of all of blacks have worked into the system. So this special month is about the holdouts who still don't get it or want to game the society for power and profit.

Greek Democracy Downfall

All democracies including Greece's current problem will teeter and totter then ultimately fail because they can't pay the interest on the fundamentally illogical and unworkable, expensive programs that grant equal results to all the unequal citizens.

Ever look in a microscope or telescope and see something like interest on money? You won't. It's a man-made alchemy and will go the way of another abomination that's called "political correctness".

A Possibly Inconvenient Question For Bill & Melinda Gates

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has released figures boasting that their disease prevention measures in Africa have saved approximately 7 million lives so far. Sounds like good news. But now that the lives have been saved, now come other questions. I.E. What have the saved lives been saved for?What are their prospects? How will they eat? How will they work? How will they be shelterd? What will we do with their children who Bill and Melinda will presumbably save also?

Have Bill and Melinda thought through the whole process of creation which includes maintenance and death?I suspect no.

"Fools rush in where wise men fear to tread".

Valentines Day, Presidents Day & Bill Clinton

I wonder if the prospects of the newly released book titled "The Death of American Virtue" By Ken Gormley had anything to do with Bill Blythe III a.k.a. President Bill Clinton's recent heart attack. The book revists the Clinton sexual scandals with Paula Jones, his impeachment  and other Clinton poor judgements and maybe crimes some years ago. Bill thought he did a make over of his slimy past by his well- advertised, chest-thumping, outright bragging and good works largely financed by the U.S. tax code. But his pesky history just won't go away.

It's seemingly appropriate that his heart attack was so close to Presidents Day and Valentines Day. His own heart spoke the truth by fluttering in reaction to the glare of scrutiny by the spotlight of his own President Day participation immediately followed by the shadow of his past as illuminated by the book and his persistance/sickness of self exposure.

Dump Congress

According to many economists and the governments own General Accounting Office, by the year 2020,  Social Security, Medicare and interest on the national debt will take up 80% of the projected Federal Budget.

That leaves the Departments ofAgriculture,Commerce,Defense,Education,Energy,Health & Human Services,Homeland Security,Housing & Urban Development,Interior, Labor,State,Transportation,Treasury,Veterans Affairs and Attorney General effectively without money. Philosophically speaking that is not a bad thing. But it still doesn't solve the original problems of Socail Security, Medicare and the National debt.

Both major political parties are playing a game of chicken with the American electorate. As long as they both spend too much the people have no where to turn. That's a mistake to think that way. The French nobility lost their heads and the Brits lost a colony called America because of that cavalier attitude. Repeat after me, "DUMP CONGRESS".

9/11 Trials Venue

The best place to hold a military or civilian trial of 9/11 participants should be on an aircrft carrier. The ship could be stationed off shore and shuttle participants to shore by helicopter. It would be the cheapest and the most secure venue.

Of course this makes sense. Which qualifies for a dismissal out of hand by government officials.

P.S. How about making Congress have its sessions on a barge in the middle of the Potomac? No one could leave or change clothes or wash while Congress was in session. I think it would speed up deliberations and shorten up considerations.

Roman Polanski : A Bad Actor

Academy Award winning motion picture writer and director Roman Polanski is in the news again. The 72 year old fugitive from justice was granted a stay from extradition to the U.S. by the Swiss government.

He achieved success and wealth at making sick and depraved movies. Perhaps he drew on his personal experiences. His family was exterminated by the Nazis. His wife was butchered by the Charles Manson gang. And he personally contributed to his sick and depraved heritage and life by raping a 13 year old.

It kind of all fits together in a sick and depraved way.

California Governors Race: War Chests Update

The upcoming California Gubernatorial race is going to be close.  Republican Meg Whitman has $39 million versus Democratic Jerry Brown's $12 million. But money isn't the whole story. The off ledger power of Democratic- leaning illegal voters along with the growing legions of socialists make it a tight race. The de facto bankruptcy of Greece's democracy should be a warning flag to all.

My New Book, " Contempt OF Congress" Available At Amazon

My new book,"Contempt OF Congress : Baby Boomers Talk Sex, Race, Politics, Environment & Revolution"is now available at Amazon.com. It's offered in paperback at $10.00 and ebook for $9.00. It's a humorous and satirical fiction that will provoke.

My Bumper Stickers Are Not Working

Todays news includes the death of two white Rhinos in Kenya. They were slaughtered by poachers for their horns which are used for Asian medicines and Middle Eastern decorative handles on knives.

Other news includes the opening of the worlds tallest building- 800 meters/2650 stories- in the Middle Eastern country of Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is a known user of Rhino horn decoration. Dubai also defaulted on 30 billion dollars of debt last month. Dubai's vast income is not enough. They have to borrow money to build the worlds tallest structure and also use some percentage of borrowed moneys to promote the killing of  peaceful endangered animals.

My bumper stickers are not working. Barbaric and hubristic events just continue to get worse. The time for bumper stickers is past. Better to use the whole bumper on some poacher and his client.

Make The World Safer-Boycott & Sanction Israel

Today is the 1 year anniversary of Israel's attack on Gaza. The Zionists killed over 1300 trapped Palestinians. The only weapon that was not used was one of their 200 nuclear devices. It would have been used but Gaza is too near. In a related event a Nigerian man tried to blow up a Northwest Airline over Detroit. It would be a symbolic and lethal attack to an American airplane and its passengers because of the U.S. support of Israel.

Israel is not worth supporting. The country should be boycotted, sanctioned and Israeli investments should be avoided. The Zionists have been a caricature of uncivilized behavior long before the Nazis showed up and have only gotten worse over time.

Italy Comments On Government & Religion

Last week Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was assaulted and suffered a broken nose. Yesterday Pope Benedict XVI was knocked down while leading religious services in St. Peter' Basilica. Both assailants were off the street individuals. Nothing points to an organization or a conspiracy behind the two attackers. All this added to the events in Iran where the government is seriously disconnected from its people and it looks like developing trend.

What's this all mean? On its face it looks like two deranged people exercising an anarchistic attitude. If these violent incidents continue and also spread to more countries then something deeper is at work. I.E. a revulsion against extremes and caricatures of power who are bigoted or consumed with only self interest.

If SFUSD Is The Face Of The Future, We're Doomed.

Last night, I tuned into the local TV feed of a San Francisco Unified School District Board meeting. It was certainly educational. But the Board didn't talk about education. It talked about a lack of diversity in SF classrooms. The acting chairwoman was bemaoaning the fact of an overwhelming majority of African-Americans, Hispanics and Somoans filling the desks (some of the 5th grader Somoans really fill the desks because of their obesity). Those three races in one classroom sounds like a diversity from hell. The African Americans would walk around the class while the Samoans would sleep and the Hispanics would be texting their  plans for their next holdup.

The attendance was sparse. This was inspite of free interpretors being offered at the meeting which included Arab, Vietnamese, Samoan, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Tagalog (Flipapino). Only 2 white guys addressed the Board and complained about their children being bussed across town to dangerous neighborhoods for schooling. They wanted to know why they couldn't use the schools in their neighbohoods. The Chair didn't answer that question.

Just another day in the SFUSD. Everybody talks but nobody listens.

Greece, Democracy & Standard & Poors

Standard & Poors reduced the credit rating of Greece's debt. Greece came up with the idea of democracy. They have never lived within their budget since that ancient time. They only deferred the bills. Now S&P is calling them out on their failed social scheme. Look for more riots but only during the work week. The sons and daughters of democracies cherish their weekends. 

We need a return to a work standard not a political standard.

Et Tu Berlusconi?

Prime Minister of Italy ,Silvio Berlusconi got a broken nose, split lip and broken teeth from a voter in Italy yesterday in the city of Milan. That was Berlusconi's home town. In these days of would be empires e.g. , al Qaida and the United States which are projecting their aspirations among the remains of former empires -Italy's Roman Empire being the most famous- the assault on Berlusconi is worth noting. 

A quick look of Berlusoni's history on Wikipedia involves about a 2-3  foot scroll down of mostly allegations of criminal conduct without convictions. The allegations range from collusion with the Mafia in assorted schemes through corruption and bribery of the police and judges to tax fraud and criminal accounting techniques. His personal moral rap sheet is another matter.

But Berlusconi on a number of occasion has used his postion as head of state to pass laws in Italy's paliament to protect himself from prosecution and conviction. In two or three court battles the proceedings were stopped  because of a statute of limitations law that was passed by his majority in parlaiment while the court was in session.

One can understand the frustration of Berlusconi's assailant. One can hardly understand why there was only one such incident in Berlusoni's long tenure. Anyway, Berlusconi got off a lot easier than former empire dreamers Julius Caesar and Benito Mussolini did. 

All empires dissolve because of corruption. There will always be corruption . But the best way to limit it is to have more power locally so the corruption can be accessed and stopped more quickly and easily. I predict that this physical voter activism towards deseriving unindicted criminal politicians  will gain more popularity. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are on many short lists if opportunity provides an opening.

Tiger Woods: Barter Is Better Than Cash

All of Tiger Wood's earnings only enabled him to barter a physical transaction betwee the 10 and counting counter- barter women. Women continue to hold the trumps with their rumps and bumps.

"Change" In Washington

"Change" has indeed come to Washington. Obama's electioneering mantra has been fufilled. But the change is in fact the reality it's gotten worse in government. The wars are expanding, the deficits are exploding and the Congress has only enhanced their control over personal lives. What's to be done? Boycott Washington is the plan. Vote libertarian.

Power Brings Out The Best And The Worst In People

In 1964 Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize for his powerful, successful,  non-violent leading of the civil rights movement in America. In 2009 Barack Obama, who is the first Africa-American president, won the Nobel Peace Prize whilst expanding the Afghanistan war.

King, a minority, non-violent leader, set up the opportunity for Obama, a minority to become president. And what did the first minority president do? He took the unprecedented power and became like the majority of greedy presidents who project increasing arrogance. King would disapprove.

Why Poll Morons?

"Let's take a poll"is the age old semi-scientific standard for determining the validity of most any idea. "Garbage in garbage out"is an age old comment on "scientific and semi-scientific"tests.

A recent" The New York Times/CBS News Poll" found these two results among some of the answers.

QUESTION: Do you approve or disapprove of sending an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan in the coming months?

ANSWER: 51% Approved; 43% Disapproved; 6% No Opinion.

QUESTION: Do you think sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan will make the U.S. safer from terrorism, less safe, or wil not affect the U.S.'s safety from terrorism?

ANSWER: 39% Safer; 8% Less Safe; 45% Will not Affect; 8% No Opinion.

In short, the results indicate that the majority think the troops should be sent but the majority also concludes that troops will fail.

I thought that the criminals and the morons in Congress were the basic problem. I was wrong. It obviously goes deeper than that.

P.S. Obama accepts Nobel Peace Prize simultaneouly with Marines leaving for Afghanistan.

P.P.S. Chaos will follow the human spiecies.

It's Getting To Be Too Much !

It may be obvious. It may be a little bit late to say it. But in America today, it's all getting to be too, too much for one person or one country to handle or enjoy. Whether it's two wars of choice or a golfer earning 100's of millions to hit a ball or convicted phychos being pardoned by serious presidential candidates from prison to kill 4 police officers etc., etc. it can't last. What's to do? Know your friends. Support them and your family and learn a skill that you can barter.

Why We're In Afghanistan

Finally Secretary of Defense Robert Gates made it clear why the U.S. is in Afghanistan. He was giving testimony to Congress as a follow up to Obama's order to send an additional 30,000 troops into the meat grinder . He said, " The U. S. must win in Afghanistan because the Taliban defeated the Soviet Union. They were the only other super power at the time some 20 years ago and if they [Taliban] defeat the United States now then they will win a great symbolic victory and become unstopable."

Consider that the old USSR was defeated because it was in a country that it shouldn't have been. Also the U.S. helped the Taliban defeat the Russians. Now we have traded postions with the Russians and the British before them and Ghengis Khan before them and Alexander The Great before them. The take away lesson is that empires don't work for long. In the end they have to go home. But people like Gates and Obama and all the criminals before who indulge in empire building get paid too much for mischief and more importantly never appear at the front lines to catch bullets.

And if the Taliban want to be foolish also then will be made to look like fools also if they show up in the U.S. For now the American effort in Afghanistan has only created more blowback to the foreign invaders.

The Maurice Clemons Story

The story of Maurice Clemons is too preposterous to be a book. Clemons could only achieve reality and credibility in everyday normal American life. This is the culture that we want to export to the world? 

Tiger Woods: Another Victim Of Racism

Consider the racist treatment of Tiger Woods. How many fire hydrants are hit every day by white people? Do the white people get national attention? Why does the press talk about Tiger's SUV? Is it to remind people that O.J. drove away from the scene of the crime in a SUV also? That's a cheap shot. Talking about shots, where's Tiger's golf glove? Does it fit? O.J.'s glove fit. If the glove fits then wear it I always say. Is Tiger being unfairly treated because of the way he abuses white golf balls? People have noticed the color of the balls. Why no black balls? Could Tiger hit and find a black ball as far as a white ball? Tiger knows when you have a job to do one can't find a black. There's something about color. We can't deny that fact. Yet if we talk about facts then we turn off people. The Florida Highway Patrol wants to talk about facts but that could be racist. What about Tiger's white wife ? How come she can bash in a SUV window and not get questioned? That's a double-standard. 

BREAKING NEWS:

O.J. breaks silence and reaches out to brother. O.J. says, " Come home Tiger. Stop playing Uncle Tom on the links. Help me break out of this Nevada cracker box. I know this S&M place with multicultural chicks...."

Barack Obama Had Two Daddies

"Like father, like son".

Barack Obama, our president, was born in 1961. That was roughly the start of the Civil Rights movement. But it was sometime after the start of loose living, drugs and racial and gender sexual experimentation. Obama's hereditary daddy was some black dude from Kenya. Obama's mommy was some eager white gal from Kansas. Daddy went on to other eager gals and mommy just went on . So who raised Obama? Well if he's like most other people or organisms he would be influenced and somewhat raised by his surroundings. These influences include his state, his schools and the morals, customs and politics of the times.

President Lyndon Johnson was in office between 1963 to 1969. Johnson fathered the Great Society which include massive expansions of the federal influence in private lives. These oversized and expensive influences took the form of Medicare, Civil Rights legislation and an expansion of the Viet Nam War. Sound familiar? Were the policies and legacies of Lyndon Johnson a quasi artificial insemination of all the Obama type children that followed? Is Barack Obama part natural and part governmental fathered? Is Barack Obama a cultural product of daddy # 2 Lyndon Johnson?

So what's that mean? Well if B.O. is any example then this new race of Great Society culturally inseminated are weak but addicted to money and control.

Is Normal An Obsolete Word?

Things change so quickly that the word " normal" loses its meaning except when used to describe those same quick, never ending changes. Money contributes to the cause of our new "normal". There has never been more in circulation yet there is more poverty and more uncertainity. Money is too expensive. The strings attached to its use by the issuing governments are counterproductive and tend to enslave. Some of the strings include interest and taxes . Our government has never spent more yet it has never been held in lower regard.Barter is more efficient and puts the individual back in control.

Cartoon Culture: Oprah Winfrey & Sarah Palin

What's the score in the American culture war? Well the liberal caricature Oprah Winfrey lost in overtime and over exposure last week. She announced the cancellation of her show in late 2011. It's because her ratings have been cut in half this past 15 years. That hurt her more than someone taking her potato chips and Coke.  Winfrey had a lot to do with the liberal caricature, poster boy,  Obama getting elected.

Significantly Oprah's guest last week was  Sarah Palin. Palin announced a new book and an implied a run for the presidency. Palin is the potser girl and cartoon person for the conservatives. She is going up and Winfrey is going down. If Palin goes all the way up we all better look out below. An air-head discription of her would be generous and less threatening than the truth.

Can't we ever get somebody in between ? Where's the poster person for moderate politics? Only morons think with one half of their brain.  Cartoons and caricature are for the funny papers. They don't belong in office.

P.S. My book is at the editor.

I'm Writing A New Book

I'm writing a political fiction. It's not a love story. For the duration, my production of blogs will be reduced. Thanks to all for your interest.

Rep.Joe Wilson & Fort Sumter

Joe Wilson is from the state of South Carolina. It's the state where Fort Sumter is located and was fired upon by Confederate forces starting the Civil War. Rep. Wilson fired a rebellious remark at our hybrid Communist/Chicago-style president and was criticized by some. Telling the truth is always welcome except in decadent societies. Will the South rise again? Before the story of America is finished, all points of the compass will rise up against Washingtons arrogance.

Does Germany Remind Zionists: It Could Happen Again?

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu was in Berlin yesterday. He was talking about increasing sanctions on Iran. He didn't mention that Israel had any intention of speeding up the creation of of a Palestinian state and easing the slow-motion genocide of the Palestinian people. While he was there, he was given a yellowing parchment of 29 blueprints of the death camp at Auschwitz. It included details of gas chambers, crematories, delousing facilities and watch towers drawn to scale. The plans were found in an apartment last year.Natanyahu went through the customary outrage drill. It's very dark theater that still sells tickets to the uninformed of which there is less and less every year. I think the Germans are getting fed up with it also.

Do you think maybe the Germans are reminding Natanyahu and his Zionist thugs that it could happen again and these plans show how it was done in the past?

Morons & Foxes In San Francisco

Come to San Francisco and see the morons lead the foxes on a merry chase that the fox has pre-scripted the moron to play the lead.I.E. We have naturally occuring morons who are serviced by sly foxes who would seem to be acting in a moronic way but in fact are in charge of the larcenous scheme .And then there is the eclectorate who fund this madness and seem to be OK with the idea of $1458.00 ambulance pick ups.

A recent example is a 41 year old habitual drunk named Kenny  who cost SF over $150,000.00 last year because he was peeled off the pavement in a druken stupor over 100 times. He then was ferried to a hospital for detox at the City's expense and then released to go home to his City provided digs wher he waits for his monthly allowance of $400.00 cash so he can again buy beer ad nauseaum. His food, when he rembers to eat is provided by the City.

What came first, Kenny or the $1458.00 ambulance ride? Kenny came first. In the old days, bums like Kenny would have been found drunk and then lumberd into the back of a paddy wagon . Next day he would be tried for public drunkeness and probably vagrancy and if he had no SF home would have been escorted to the county line. But there's no money in that for City Hall executives and their co-conspiring public unions. With SF awash in revenues, Kenny could and should be turned into a profit center for City executives to build up political patronage jobs so votes could be counted on. Enter the $1458.00 ambulance ride.

But wait thre's more. Kenny really doesn't cost the City $150,000.00 per year.If Kenny died and didn't get his freebe ride the City budget would still be out of pocket the $13,000,000.00 buget per year for ambulance service. The drivers and the rolling stock are now a fact to be funded until the voters take back the City.

US Drone Aircraft: For Cowards & Bullys

America use of drone aircraft to kill from afar enables a whole new group of cowards and bullys to enter warfare. We will be starting a lot more "preemptive wars". And we will someday meet our Nemesis who will present us a bill to pay in at least equal destruction.

Afghanistan Democracy: Can They Afford One?

America is one of the richest countries on the planet whith a per capita income of app. $48,000.00 per year. In spite of this wealth we are a debtor nation. Our democracy continues to generate new entitlements to any legal or illegal that can yell. And all these entitlements are expensive.

Afghanistan is having another election this weekend. Our politicians are seeing this as progress. How can Afghanistan afford a democracy when the per capita income is about app. $450.00 per year? Will their politicians work for free? Who will be given a subsidy with so little to spare? 

Obama Talks to Veterans of Foreign Wars

President Barack Obama is in Phoenix today trying to drum up support for his Afghanistan War strategy.He will address the Veterans of Foreign Wars. These guys are mostly old. They range from late the 60's to the 80's. Pathetic. The oldest won the second World War but the younger lost in North Korea and Viet Nam. Which was appropriate. The yet-to-be vets lost in Iraq and are losing in Afghanistan. 

Obama's speech will be familar. We have to make the world secure for democracy.Part of that "democracy"includes the US supporting Israel's slow motion genocide of the Palestinians and America's policy of preemptive war.Sorry pres most people don't like war and increasingly they don't like you for being a stooge of the military-industrial-complex and Zionists.

Bad News: We Only Have Ourselves To Blame

Sorry to break it to you boys, but the start of "white male suffrage" in the early 19th century brought the consequences of this crazy democracy we all now suffer through. The Federalist Party collapsed in app.1820.The Federalists held that only white male property owners could vote. But with Maryland's liberalizing who could vote in 1810 and other states following, the election of Andrew Jackson over John Quincy Adams was the first "democratic election". Then came woman sufferage and now illegals sneak a vote. 

Of course the seminal moment for ruinous democracy is the disconnect from property ownership and the right to vote. Because it's only a matter of time before the masses out populate and out vote the haves and give it to the have nots. And this includes taking from US citizens and giving to people around the world.

Don't let them vote your gun away. But I think no one trusts the government so when push comes to shove, the haves and the have nots will team up to shoot the politicians. It will be great fun.

Insurance Companies and Government and Obama Reform

President Obama was pushing his health care reform at a town hall meeting in Belgrade, Montana today. He said, " Insurance companies are holding America hostage". Well if they are they have Congress' help. Because the insurance lobby is one of the biggest bribers in that outlaw town of Washington, D.C. Also the lawyers bribe Congress to let them  second-guess doctors and hospitals on care and drive costs up by forcing defensive medicine and no-caps on judgements.

Methinks that sans government people could better defend themselves.

Presidential Medal Of Freedom: Harvey Milk

Yesterday President Obama awarded a Medal of Freedom  to sixteen diverse recipients. Included was San Francisco Supervisor, homosexual activist Harvey Milk who was assassinated in 1978.Milk did much to spread the homosexual movement. Of course HIV/AIDS infections and deaths tracked his questionable "progress" with gruesome statistics.

Nazi Germany targeted homosexuals. America gives homosexuals awards. Neither is appropriate.

Deficits Don't Matter?

The spending monkeys in Washington have been spending trillions trying to keep the economy afloat. They have been doing this since the Reagan years. Remember "deficits don't matter". That's partially true. If one is on the receiving side of deficit spending then deficits don't matter. But one who doesn't get the benefits but on the contrary has to payoff the deficits for years to come then deficits do indeed matter.Government employees, politicians, Wall St, banks, special interests foreign and domestic ,military-industrial-complex etc celebrate deficit spending. Most everyone else pays the tab.

Nothing lasts forever. When we do finally go broke it won't make much of a difference to most people unlike the privateers who have been gaming the system.

Time For Backlash Against Congress

When someone is legally stealing they should not be comfortable. I'm talking about members of Congress. Their stealing of our future by auctioning off our rights to the highest bidder cannot continue. Congress passes laws which make their actions legal. But that does not make the laws moral. For instance, the Iraq invasion was not moral or justified. Yet the House funded the desires of the military-industrial-complex. The bailout of Wall Street bankers after they recklessly undermined the security of the US should not have happened. The potential seizure of the health system by Washington and the roving lawyers should not happen.

The least all of us can do is make the lives of members of Congress, lawyers, military-industrial-complex operatives not pleasant within legal limits. This includes peer pressure. Whether it takes the form of simple, nasty but purposeful e-mails or piketing their homes or snubbing them in public. Keep it legal for now.

I Can't Stand These People

Some of the people I would love to see dead or missing were reinforcing my opinions about them with their individual responses to the Obamacare backlash. Senator Barbara Boxer, the Jew who can't get past her ethnicity was quoted ,"These town hall agitators are professional". Jews talking about etiquette?

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Italian greaser who can't wear the same clothes twice because of her staining capability mentioned, " The disruptors at these meetings are Nazi-like ". Hey Bag, go check your mail bag for the new bribes.

And what about President Obama ? Our grinning monkey talks about "...lies and misinformation about his healthcare proposals.." So the top lying politician wants to speak about other's "lying"?

Keeping Up With The Competition

The affairs of the human race include competition for power. In that pursuit all races engage in racism whether purposely or not. Therefore racism is just about keeping up with the competition.

Sonia Sotomayor: We Could Have Done Better

Newly confirmed Justice Sonia Sotomayor is a Hispanic. She looks like a field hand through no fault of her own. But she favors low class people by choice and identification. Not all Hispanics look like field hands. On the contrary they can be extremely handsome. Not all Hispanics favor low class people.

We could have done much better. It's time to upgrade the population rather than be defined by the latest off- the- wall, odd- ball special interest. And this includes retrofitting our out dated notions of obligation and equality.

How To Have Fun & Purpose In Your Old Age

The new health care bill that is being debated includes many promises. All of them expensive. One of the ways to keep the costs under control is to ration medical care to the aged. This includes counseling older folks about ending their lives when they are chronically ill. There is also the provision that precludes aged, sick people from paying for their own life sustaining procedures. This tantamont to a death sentence issued by the government. 

How much of all this talk and proposals are real or taken out of context is unknown to me at this time. But if the government really means to get proactive about eliminating old people from health care. Then "old age"has opened up some new and exciting vistas that will certainly shake off boredom.

Forget the new set of golf clubs or the extra martini. It's time for a gun and target practice.

Obama: No Lobbyist Left Behind

Give a monkey a money printing machine and a worldwide communication ability and what do you get? Presto, chango Barack Obama appears. Obama has taken Bill Clinton's permanent campaign and Bush's reckless foreign and domestic policies and added steroids. Trillions here trillions there, no lobbyist left behind and added a multi-cultural after burner to the agenda.

Whoppee, it's easy. Money is the answer. 

Iraq Warplanes Request:Here We Go Again

The great peacemakers and warmongers in Washington are looking favorably on Iraq's request for a purchase of 18 F-16s. America's leaders rotate between war and peace because its good for business overall. Iraq is proposing an initial purchase of 18 in what could eventually total 96 warplanes. Iraq's leaders would rather spend money on planes than repair the infrastructure or help displaced people. The poor people of Iraq get no respect from their government or our government. It adds up to another victory for the military-industrial-complex. Iraq rearms, Iran responds, Israel responds, Turkey responds etc etc. and the US sells arms to all .

People of war should not be mourned when they die. They fulfilled their destiny .

Shut Down Congress

Times up. The grinning and spending monkeys in Washington should empty their pockets call a cab a get out of town before it's too late. The biggest grinner and spender is Obama. The president and Washington have become caricatures of the irresponsible homo frivolous. More and more money being spent on more and more projects in this country and around the world that benefit a very few at the expense of very many. And we have to borrow from all to pay for this nonsense.

The French took care of their royalty with the plunging blade. Wouldn't that be fun?

Goldman Sachs: Equal Opportunity Employer

Goldman Sachs continues to maintain a 20% allotment of white and other non- Jewish employees. Most of them are assigned to public relation slots. They are the "face" of Goldman in public venues. Whites come in handy when Goldman is summoned before Congress. It's an image thing. There is so much baggage and so little time or inclination to clean it up.

Of course Yankees like Hank Paulson could teach Shylock a thing or two. And let's not forget Congress. For every theft by Goldman Sachs there was an equal amount of doors cracked open by Congress so Goldman could enter.

CIT Failure Would Be Mistake

Ignoring CIT and the small/medium size business' it serves would be a tactical and financial mistake by the Obama Administration. It would be a breaking of faith with small and medium sized business. These are the job creators in the past, now and in the future. The app. 1,000,000 accounts that CIT serves would not easily, if at all find a replacement. Big bank business models are not geared for CIT-type accounts. Consequently bankrupties would follow for some of those accounts and include others in their greater spheres of influence.

The chump change of $4 billion that CIT needs is relatively nothing compared to the hundreds of billions that already have gone out the window to the constructive criminals at AIG,B of A, Citigroup, GM and Chrysler. Small business built this country. Small business owners ran for office . Now many of our politicians are lawyers or people who never had a real job. This results in leadership that doesn't get it or worse get it but are paid to ignore it.

Supreme Court Racial & Gender Comments

Sonia Sotomayor looks like she is going to get a pass on her racist "wise Latina"preferential comment. Also her racist affirmative action credentials demonstrated in her ruling against the white firefighters in the "Ricci Case"certainly leave no doubt that race matters in her decisions.

Let me say that Sonia looks better than the Jew Ruth Bader Ginsburg but less attractive compared to the black Clarence Thomas. That comparison has nothing to do with the law nor does affirmative action have anything to do with the law.

Cheney Deserves Torture With Legal Fees

Cheney is in the news again. This time he's accused of ordering a CIA "couterterrorism"program kept secret from Congress. I hope they nail the SOB. In the old days one could challenge guys like this to a duel and get some quick satisfaction. But today Cheney hides behind layers and layers of legal manuevering to avoid prosecution. Basically it's a de facto innocent until proven broke strategy . But I'd settle for his  bankruptcy from legal fees. He values money and power more than his life anyway.

I don't like lawyers. But I don't like Cheney more. Get an asshole to go after an asshole.

Michael Jackson: Hermaphrodite

Noted composer and musician Quincy Jones remarked on the late Michael Jackson. He said,"He [Jackson] took dancing to another level from where Astaire and Kelly left it."

But Astaire and Kelly danced and accomodated partners. Jackson didn't. Jackson was really a one-man exhibition. To be more accurate, the "man" is somewhat hidden by a hermaphroditic visage. I.E. After much time and money Jackson became a Diana Ross look alike. He was a couple-both man and woman. He achieved uniqueness. Many would say he became a freak. 

Freak is not too harsh. Consider Jackson partially changed his sexual appearance with the Diana Ross ploy and engaged in bisexuality which included charges of child molestation. I'm sure death was welcomed by him.

Sarah Palin: Governor Drop Out

White, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will drop out of her job one year and a half early and challenge black stay-in-office President Barack Obama in 2012. That's the message in her"..moving in new directions."statement yesterday.

She got a lucrative book offer from Rabbi Rupert Murdoch's HarperCollins and learned how to talk on Saturday Night Live. So what more does a spending and grinning monkey need to have or know about winning American elections? George Bush Sr. was accused of having a "Silver foot in his mouth."by the late Texas Governor Ann Richards. That's more than Palin has in her mouth.

In the interim, Palin will tour the country making speeches to pay her legal bills and to build a war chest for the 2012 presidential run. Palin wants to help the country move forward. So she quits her job!

Don't Worry

Don't worry America. Every politician is working for the individual. The politician will spend all the money that they can tax away from everyone else to make sure the individual is happy and by implication will vote for that politician. Only everyone else has to worry.

Democracy is failing in America like it failed in Greece some 2500 years ago. For starters vote libertarian. 

America's Democracy: Latest Examples Of What's OK

While we slept our democracy was taking new shapes. Al Franken defeated Norm Coleman. Franken now will go to the U S Senate to represent Minnesota. Some choice. Both guys are Zionists who have and will continue to keep Israel afloat at the expense of U S prestige and treasure. Can it get any better for the Israeli lobby? The lobby backs the 2 guys that are running!

Meanwhile President Obama is taking the democracy to the next evolutionary step which cracks open the socialism door. Trillions of dollars passed out to the largely unworthy and making more ever more dependant on central planning. Also Obama is sending an affirmative action poster girl-Sonia Sotomayor-to the Senate for approval to serve on the Supreme Court.

The homosexual crowd not satisfied with social acceptance now  marry and also adopt unsuspecting children.

Also while we slept, some legal or illegal immigrant came here and lowered the bar for equality status in our country . It may be a 3'8'' Philipina, transgender, pregnant, obese diabetic, bad teeth, blind and argumentative  who needs a face transplant who is fleeing her country because of discrimination. Yea, I can see that country's point. But she is the new gold standard by which all future applicants are now measured. And she may get that face transplant for free.

The good news is California's broke. This beautiful state is largely the recipient of the worlds human overflow. But without the do-re-me(money) the state will have to stop a lot of the silly equality entitlements for these strange strangers that come here.

Breaking News

Jacko is gone. How about mummification for the King Of Pop? All that plastic surgery nearly did the job already. Bill Clinton is determined to head the Michael Jackson grief conga line. Maybe Bill could pre-record his own eulogy now and then pre-announce it at a Jackson Celebration of Life event.

Bernie Madoff will be sentenced on Monday. Professional Holocaust exploiter Elie Wiesel was big loser of Holocaust writings royalties that he invested with the Ponzi schemer. Losing relatives in the concentration camps is one thing but losing money really hurts.

Where Are The Indictments For Financial Meltdown?

Will anyone go to jail for the financial misdeeds and meltdown? No. Because the heretofore criminal financial manipulations were made legal by the legislation that Congress passed. Wall Street and the bankers bribed our reps. Congress is largely a criminal enterprise. Don't forget .

Lincoln, Obama, UAW & Civil War

Abraham Lincoln was quoted, " These capitalists generally act to fleece the people". What would Abe say about the United Auto Workers?

Obama ,who likes to invoke Lincoln, said something about the UAW . He fleeced the capitalists by giving the UAW more of Chrysler and General Motors than the bond holders after the federal bailout. That's an ironic metaphor for the North usurping states rights in the South by way of a Civil War.  A reversal of South Carolina firing on Fort Sumter.

Prepare for the future. The government is getting more aggressive.

Iran vs. U.S.: Who Will Prevail ?

" Allahu Akbar " means " God is Great "in Arabic. The reformist oppostion shouts that phrase from the rooftops in Tehran, Iran.  But the  ruling, elite clergy also invoke Allah. So both do agree on one major point.

In America the opposing democrats and republicans do agree on the implied major point of U.S. government. It is the implied jingo of  "In Growth We Trust".

One civilization is rooted in heaven and the other is rooted on earth. One civilization will fight and die for god while the other will fight and maybe die if paid enough. We need better goals to defeat the low- cost oppostion Iranians. A better goal and an immediate victory in foreign affairs would be for America to stay out of Iranian affairs.

The U.S. will have peace when there is money to be made in peace. There will be some peace when we can't afford some wars. It's our choice.

Tehran Police Uniforms:Why Written In English ?

Todays front page of The Wall Street Journal shows a club-wielding Tehran, Iran policeman beating a man in front of Tehran University. The graffiti on the wall behind the combatants is written in Farsi-the language since the 9th century. Yet on the back of the police officers uniform are the words "Police" written in English not Farsi ! 

Looks like propaganda by the WSJ and others served up for dummies. 

What If Congress Disappeared?

There's an assumption that one of the missed targets on September 11, 2001 was Congress and the Capitol. The United Airlines flight that crash landed in a Pennsylvania field was to have done that chore.

Congress now has an approval rating lower than the infamous Dick Cheney when he left office. Congress' approval rating is grasping to a 12% mark. One wonders if Al Qeada took out the 545 spending and conspiring monkeys of our Capitol how many real tears would have been shed? We will never know.

Culture Matters: Egypt Vs.Israel

President Obama was in Cairo, Egypt yesterday . He was shown the pryamids. Last month he visited Israel . He was shown Yad Vashem, the Holocaust History Museum.

Egypt has pride. Israel has no pride.

GM Plans Presidential Cadillac Model

General Motors is planning a special edition of Cadillac. It will be called the "Presidential Limited ". Only 100,000 will be made. Considering the vast sums of money that President Obama has given the greatly diminished auto giant, it's a small token.

The Caddie will be somewhat retro in style, accessaries and colors. Style- wise it will resemble the "fin tail" Cadillacs of the late '50s and early '60s. The colors will be in African Union light greens and yellow with a purple colored Fleetwood in a very limited edition. Accessaries will include, leopard -skin seat covers, jeweled mud flaps and fluffy steering wheels. The car screams "Pussy". 

Word of the car leaked to President Obama. He was heard to remark, " Sounds like a Polish delight".

Bush & Clinton: Nerf Presidents

George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were in Toronto, Canada last night. They were both paid to show up and talk their contrasting political views. Well they showed up. But the expected contrasts didn't. There would have been more animation and interest if either spilled a water glass on stage.

Welcome to Nerf politicians. Two overpaid foam rubber men who would do anything and have to get elected but privately only believe in money and wont sweat an uncontested or ungraded debate. The commentator should have sprung a "winner take all" purse of $300,000 to the winner of the debate as per the audience vote. That will be the day.

Short of that, the audience should have been peppered with a couple of shoe throwers or rag heads with grenades. One can only dream when reality is so boring and decadant.

Ignore North Korea

How about ignoring North Korea? It would be a Trojan Horse ploy in reverse. One evening the U.S. would pull its front line troops from the North/South border. By morning thousands of American forces would be at least 100 miles away. Over a period of weeks the U.S. garrison of 37,000 would be brought home and immediately spend their payrolls on our own soil. Leave a note to Kim Jong Il stating we no longer care about the actions of North Korea and as far as we are concerned his people can all starve to death. Also if he wants to nuke Japan so be it. We been there done that.

Kim Jong Il and his father before him are the mirror image of American foreign policy. Without our foreign policy Kim would be shucking clams on the coast.

Paul Krugman: Economist Or Politician?

As Jimmy Durante sometimes said, " Everybody wants to get into the act". 

Give an economist a Nobel Prize and suddenly he wants to parlay himself into a bleeding-heart liberal politician and maybe run for the senate. Like we need another Jew in the senate. Krugman's piece in todays NYT says that California's budget problems started with the passage of Propostion 13 in 1978. Prop 13 was a property tax limitation initiative and also required a 2/3 majority vote by the legislature to raise income taxes. It passed overwhelmingly. I paid property taxes pre-Prop 13. I kept up with the never-ending increases. But many could not. Many older people lost or had to sell their homes because they couldn't keep up with taxes.

Krugman wants Propostion 13 repealed. He presumably wants unlimited tax and spending in its place. He sounds more like a bleeding-heart liberal politician than a disciplined economist who is guided by prudent, realistic policies.

San Francisco Bay To Breakers Race: Alternative Reporting

About 70,000 random-urinating runners were in San Francisco's 98th Annual Bay To Breakers yesterday. The smelly majority were joined by what passes for elite dignataries for the 8 mile course. Mayor Gavin Newsom ran alongside Senator Dianne Feinstein. 

There was a group of Central American illegals who gave out free meth. Handicapped were out in force with an estimated 600 wheelchairs. Police and fire crews were accomodative. Maybe because the police and fire crews were all listening to iPods which had recorded memos from their various union steering committees on how they wanted the City to declare bankruptcy before they would give back on wages and benefits. After all the UAW workers at Chrysler are going to own 55% of the company after it emerges from UAW- caused bankruptcy proceedings. The police and fire unions think they can get title to half the City's real estate.

The World Health Organization was busy collecting urine samples off the pavement. The WHO has a thesis that within a few decades the residue of drugs in U.S. urine will contaminate all the groundwater water in the continental U.S. which will necessitate a draining of Lake Victoria and other bodies of water in Africa  to provide drinking water for America.  

On a lighter note, both Newsom and Feinstein were run over and killed by two "Hummer-Class" wheelchairs that were operated by "350-pounders" who were distracted by in route refueling of pizza. Feinstein's husband, Dick Blum retreived the Senators cell phone and credit cards but refused to identify the body. He avoided burial expenses. Newsom's body decomposed so quickly that only a leased pair of shorts from Gordon Getty Enterprises identified his remains.

There were 10 same-sex marriages during the race. But 2 divorces of those same marriages took place before the race could be completed. The Gay,Lesbian,Bisexual and Transgender Association began hurling excrement at the straights who they blamed for the 2 divorces. The straights chanted, " More AIDS, more AIDS" as they headed to the surf to clean up.

President Barack Obama has commited to running next years race. He has not decided whether to represent the secular or the spiritual world.

Breaking News: Pelosi Talks About Torture

" Good morning. 'Torture, what did I know and when did I know it?' Does that sum it up? Waterboarding? Big deal. When you have had as many hair dye jobs and rinses as I have had waterboarding seems comparable. What about my Botox injections, hair removal, face lifts, tucks, birthing ordeals, being groped by high schoolers and older guys who looked like some of the detainees and now hear rumors of Paul's affairs? Yea there is a little 'it's my turn now'. When the CIA briefed me on torture these are the images that popped up in my mine.

I'm off to Iraq because it's too hot here."

Hamid Karzai and Hillary Clinton Conversation

President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan pulled Secretary of State Hillary Clinton aside for a quick private conversation at yesterdays state visit.

Karzai: Hey Hill, I need more money. These civilian deaths in my country caused by U.S. airstrikes are getting my people very upset and I have an election coming up and my expenses....

Hillary: Yeah,yeah,yeah ya want me to play a violin ? Bury the fuckin' dead and tell those rag heads to tape an aspirin to the wounds.

Karzai: I WANT MORE MONEY BITCH. It's going to be an additional $10,000.00 per month.

Hillary: OK, OK . Same deal? Bill's foundation gets 10% of the increase via the Afghan woman you send him each month?

Karzai: No problemo.  And I'll throw in a "no grouse" vow for deaths under 5 per U.S. airstrike.

Hillary: Bill says the Afghan woman is very experienced and novel orally speaking. I want some of that. 

Karzai: I've got a person in mind. She's yours.

Hillary: Fuckin' Americans are so stupid. We should have surrended in Afghanistan years ago but the U.S. citizens love to hate someone. So Bill and I will service the account. Later Hamid.

Swine Flu Scare At AIPAC Convention

The AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) convention/political power display is now playing in Washington. Half the members of the U.S. Congress (this is true) is in attendance along with the Jewish delegates. But last nights events were more than the AIPAC delegates planned for.

A Hamas waiter spiked the Kool-Aid with a culture of swine flu. The Kool Aid appeared on the dinner menu as a "Free, confiscated Palestinian Childrens Treat" . It proved to be irresistable to the delegates. But the swine flu had no effect on the AIPAC members! What's that tell you about AIPAC and its members? The Hamas waiter fled in disbelief vowing to use only hygenically prepared Kool Aid next time as the logical alternative for use against aliens.

The entertainment included a Dreamworks skit. A satellite feed from Ariel Sharon's hospital room was seamlesssly added to computer- animated characters of Jack Warner of Warner Bros. escorting Marilyn Monroe to Sharon's bedside who is still on life support (this is true)from his seizure more than 3 years ago. Since he was the PM of Israel at the time , he continues to collect a salary which delights his eager family.

Another Dreamworks skit involved a simulated piano wire hanging of Bernie Madoff. The delegates actually responded more favorably to the Madoff fantasy. The Madoff presentation was followed by a business infomercial describing the advantages of giving money to Israel and buying land through the Israel/Palestine Land Development Company. It's all tax deductable. Israel is a tax haven. The IRS code provides that a U.S. citizen who also has a dual Israeli citizenship can satisfy his or hers tax obligations to the U.S. by paying the same amount to Israel (this is true). I wonder if Bernie Madoff knew this?

What great fun was had by all. And it will continue until everyone gets fed up with AIPAC and deports or jails treasonous individuals.
