Money You Can't Spend

Today I was so hard up I went to the bank to withdraw eleven dollars from my account, leaving only about three something, a new record low even for me. But one of the coins I was paid in was the Sakaguia golden tinted dollar the government put out a few years ago. If presented with a coin like that I'm not sure I would accept it were I a store clerk. My friend said to hang onto it because it's probably already worth ten bucks. Of course on Wheel of Fortune if you win the ten thousand dollar wedge you are told that that isn't money you can actually spend to win more prizes. In Jesus-land they are always telling you the Lord pays in some other kind of currency. You are not to seek an earthly blessing but a "heavenly reward" with some sort of script you can only spend in heaven. And of course adversity could really be a "blessing". I know of no case where any member of the Orion Federation has approached anybody and offered to pay them in "Federation" money. Only in Jesus land does that sort of stuff go on. But I had carefully counted out how much money I needed till Tuesday and it was eleven and now that ammount is shrunk to ten.

You know, sometimes I wish these politicians would get off the dime. This democratic congress seems to be a major bust. So far as I know they have not gotten any major bill passed they were planning, including a long needed minimum wage bill or an immigration bill. We know their record on the Iraq War. Now we are all being told "Wait till September and we'll see". Predent it's September. What now? The decision has always been the same, ie. not to MAKE a decision. We are always being told "any day now - - any month now". Bush told us on the deck of that ship on May 1st. 2003 that major combat opperations were over. Thom Hartman seems to be whistling dixie when he speaks of any kind of forward motion in this congress. In the first place they'll never bring an important bill to the table because of that rule where 41% of congress can fillibuster any bill. As long as you have that it's hopeless. Hartman tells us repeatedly that "Well we aren't going for impeachment, we're just in a fact gathering mode now". I think we all know "The facts". We've known them for over a year since the first impeachment rumblings hit in early 2006, when I first started listening to KTLK radio. Those were exciting times. Nobody cares now. The democrats aren't building any "political capotal". Polls show that in head to head Presidential races Republicans hold their own and the figures over the years have changed very little. There was that libertarian in KCET last night shooting his mouth off. Thank goodness he isn't running. Thom Hartman is looking about as convincing as the empty scrotum of a former alpha male dog. Life is a case of "Therefores". The liberals have all the facts on their side, THEREFORE let's move to impeach the president. If this were a chess games the experts would be saying it's their only logical move. Otherwise this congress will finish out its impotent term with its hands tied behind its back. You know in the past I have been told "You seem like a Bright person and a Creative person, and even a good communacator". But this is an empty statement because there is no THEREFORE attatched to it, such as "Therefore I'm going to intervene to get you that job you've been trying for" or "therefore I'm going to give you this big oppertunity". You know that fourteen year old "kid" on the Montell Williams show was given an "oppertunity" NOT to spend the rest of his life in jail, had he the sense to take it. All he had to do was to be sent to this "Farm" in Utah for three or four years. Jesus Christ on KFI says "God doesn't allow do-overs". I'd say, "That's fine- - if you add a Therefore to it". Such as "Therefore since there is no Next Life, I'm going to help you right now since you came to me in petetion". Of course I can't picture Jesus doing that. I sometimes wonder knowing predestination whether God doesn't get his rocks off playing tapes of people making the biggest mistakes of their lives and all the angels snickering "How stupid". Or maybe he's into reliving for instance Mao's slaughter of the Tibetans. My point is don't open your Yap unless there is a "Therefore" attatched to your words. I don't think this congress is winning the war of words. If they were they wouldn't all be so afraid and tennative and scared spitless of offending someone on the right. Nobody has the balls to get up and say "This Iraq War is wrong and as with any wrong, it is an injustice that must be ended right NOW". I really think democrats have forgotten the use of the word "Now". It seems permanantly stripped from their vocabulary.

Sometimes I wish time ran backwards. It would sure make life a lot more pleasent. There are times I've run the "Putfall" game backwards. It's a lot easyer to play that way. Everyone would get younger. People like me and others would get more sure of themselves as time passed. Marriages would spontaniously get better and love would increase between couples and walls would come down. The thing is with Walls and Bridges, you want bridges but you don't want walls. If you ran time backwards both walls and bridges would come down. Clothes and cars would be new and bright and appliances would run better and better as they aged. Messes would clean themselves up. Loved ones would spontaniously come back to life, and doubters would spontaniously regain their Faith. In case you are wondering after the posting after this one, whenever I do it, we've switching to Karmic Suicide for a while and some time then we'll talk about early 1991 in my life. It always seems as if good news is temporary but bad news is permanent. I'm one who would like to see jinxes un-happen. Most engrams are "wired" to run forward, but you could wire them to run backwards, so that you were "controled" by a FUTURE event rather than a past one, but it would have to be an ACTUAL future event. Of course all Jesus can talk about on KFI is how wonderful death is. Death is neither foreward nor backward. People always talk about religion as a struggle. Well, the best way to end a war is to stop fighting it. If God wanted us dead as much as Christian pastors suggests that he does- - like every minute we're alive is some horrible mistake- - then I say to God, "There are a lot of rocks and stones out in the desert. Make desciples of them if you will, but leave the living to we who actually have a stake in it.

Home theater: You've heard a lot about it. Yet if you listen to Leo Le Port you may think achieving it is impossible. First of all you can't put a TV accross from a window because that causes reflection. You can't put a TV in front of a window because that's also bad. You can't have a square room because that's bad for sound. You can't mount the screen over the fireplace. You can't put the TV in a corner because everyone will have a sore neck watching it. And the screen itself has to occupy thirty degrees of visual field. I think they said a screen has to be at LEAST sixty five inches or so for a typical room. Preferably you're supposed to have some long room shaped like a theater and put the TV at one end of it. You know, I bet I could go over a list of things for the democratic congress to do in the way of dos and donts that would leave them just as discouraged, what say?
