You know I hope the
Democrats will be given sufficient time by the media to sort out and expose all
the lies told at that disgusting exhibition by the Republicans this past week
in Tampa. One TV evangelist used to say
that the first thing you need to do in evangelism is “draining the swamp,
before you can even think about laying the foundation, which is Christ”. Apparently Romney told his people “not to be
bothered by the fact checkers. We aren’t
listening to them this week”. I believe
that. In other lies told at the Republican convention it seems that this steel
plant built in a field in Indiana, had at least six other investors besides
Bain capital. Mitt Romney left that
out. Also this plant, like the Olympics,
got considerable government help such that a county in India had to
dramatically raise their property taxes to cover the cost of constructing
access roads to and from the steel plant.
It was pointed out today that two more corporations associated with Bain
Capital just went bankrupt today- - and Randy was talking about one that went bankrupt
in 2002. Also Romney was talking about “getting
two nine dollar jobs instead of your old $22.00 per hour job” but in fact, the
average salary in Staples is $8.50 or something. I have heard before that Staples really didn’t
take off economically till it had “recovered from the trauma” of dealing with
Bain Capital. And also Gingrich used to
want to separate himself from President Reagan after all that Iran – Contra stuff. But now that he’s dead he’ll say anything the
tea party wants him to say about President Reagan. Of course Oliver North was in charge of
laundering drug money through Saudi Arabia, yet he dresses up in his military uniform
and everybody thinks he’s a hero. And of
course you know about that GM plant in Wisconsin that went belly up in December
of 2008 while Bush was still President.
Therefore the plant was already GONE by the time President Obama assumed
office the next month, so he could not possibly help that company. That is, of course except in the mind of Paul
Ryan, who blames the President shamelessly.
I’ve said it before. The amount of
sheer crap this President has had to suffer at the hands of the tea party is
nothing less than disgusting, and something which should never, never happen in
America. If it were me I wouldn’t have
cared a bit if they called me an “angry Black man”. I’d take decisive action to shut the lying
mother fuckers up. You know, the
Presidency has a lot of prerogatives, if the President has the will to use
them. Or to put it more succinctly “I’d
give the bastards something to cry about”.
We have another police
shooting to report. This one is by a US
Marshal. Normally marshals are those
people who escort you in and out of court aren’t they and keep decorum and all
of that. But they pack heat, and this
guy was packing even though he wasn’t un uniform and in fact nobody knew his
identity. He got in a physical
altercation with his wife in the Fairfax district. There were a bunch of friends of the woman
there and one guy took it upon himself to separate the then unknown US Marshal
from his wife and this one guy managed to get him about thirty feet away. Then as he turned back the guy began
following him- and somehow the Marshal got knocked down. But it was a full minute later when the
Marshal pulled his gun and shot the rescuer in the left shoulder. Now the guy began walking fast away for fear,
and the guy got out his gun and shot him four more times, killing him. He never let the guy he killed know either
his identical as a Marshal and took steps to conceil his firearm. This incident took place back in July and
today Federal Charges from the Justice Department were filed. Some on the political right are fond of
saying that Eric Holder is no good and good for nothing, and they positively
loath cases like this. Later David
Cruise told some story about some woman who wanted to drop off her children and
ended up getting killed by five cops. I
don’t know the details on that one. Of
course the Marshal lied about everything and if they hadn’t had a video of it
the truth would never be known. One
wonders how much “testa-lying” is done by the cops.
Melanie on Days of our
Lives is writing what I call a poisoned pen letter to the parole department to
keep Nick Fallon in prison a while longer.
Brady and Chad pressured her into it because she didn’t want to do
it. There is something very cold about a
letter, as opposed to talking to someone face to face. I wouldn’t like it if it happened to me. I don’t remember this case too well but Hope
and Julie are strongly urging that he be paroled and point out that his life
has already been threatened once in prison.
I don’t really remember this case but apparently it involved being
mentally incompacitated by drugs and killing Trent, who is Melanie’s evil
father who forced her to have sex with strange men while still in high
school. Nick sought to protect her from
that. A lot of time you don’t realize in
conversations that “the waters have been poisoned” and they don’t want to even
relate with you because they are “all talked out” because someone who claims to
know you well has been filling their head with a lot of crap.
Some people utter lines
of utter wisdom despite themselves. You’ve
heard the story about the husband who comes to the Pastor’s office plaintifly
saying “You know, Pastor. I don’t get
it. When I first met my wife she was
bubbly, exhuberent and full of life. But
now she’s downcast and never fixes herself up and kind of drags through the day”. And the Pastor aptly responds, “You JUST told
me the effect marriage to YOU had on her”.
Romney gave a good line last night I’d like to re-work. “You know you’ve picked the wrong religion
when the best feeling you ever had about Christ was when you first came to the
altar to Confess him and get saved”.
People know a bad fit when they see it.
I never liked the “feng chue: of my parent’s house in Laguna Hills they
moved to in late 1990. The timing of the
move is curious. Earlier in the year I
and my parents went to “mission study meetings” to help shape the course of our
Church for the future. But it was within
ten days of moving into their new house the new pastor, the Asshole from El
Paso took over. They didn’t waste time
in selling our old house we had lived in the past - - in the neighborhood of
three decades. They sold the place for
$181,000 – which is the sort of price you get for a place you’re planning to
break up and use for fire wood. I think
the place got sold with all dispatch- - while they were still living in
it. In November sometime there was some
article about deciding on a new pastor - - soon or now or. And my Dad sent out these vibes like he
already knew who it was, and I said “You know who it is- - don’t you?”
excitedly. Then he clammed up. Some of the tracing of subsequent “behavior
patterns” is curious. As to the house itself-
- it’s downright ugly from the outside with a horrible roof line. It has all these tiny windows- which my Mom
used to hate. It was over-grown even by my standards, particularly that long,
wandering hedge path to the front door.
Add a few cob webs and the place reminds me one of those “King of the
realm” houses on a perch of land- - - and it had things about it my Mom
formerly hated such as these step up and step down bits my Mom used to say “If
we ever had a paraplegic over here that would be a definite problem. I hated the black venetian blinds, and with
the square tile pattern of the floor and subsequent furniture covers- - one is
overwhelmed with a sensation of squares and lines. I don’t like it that every room is the exact
same color- - kind of this pervaisive off white. The outside colors clash. There is this “marine blue” window trim –a color
I’ve always hated anyhow, with kind of a beige.
The inside of the house would strike you immediately as “over-sized” and
it had this really high, cavernous roof line my Dad formerly talked
against. When we moved into out old
house- - my Dad wanted a house with “not too high a ceiling which wastes heat
energy”. He was fuel conscious in those
days. It almost reminds me of the house
Jimmy Stewart used to throw bricks at when he was younger saying, “I wouldn’t
even live there as a ghost”. Of course
now we have this rather incompatable, ill suited relic- - as the Republican
Nominee for President. Chain saws will
have to work overtime just to cut away the underbrush. I’ll tell you this. I thank God every day that Barock Obama is
President now instead of a Republican such as Bush. America is in much safer hands. President Obama is “the thin blue line”
between sanity and complete tea party madness, which will be unleashed in full
if Romney assumes office on January 20th. The best way to “Impeach” Romney- - is don’t
elect him to begin with. If we don’t
solve thie “Romney problem” now- - it will be a lot harder to deal with later
on.
