Presenting one of the great party platforms of 19 - - check that - - 1812! Maybe 1812 was a good year but I don't care to relive it.
Christie's point is well taken. Before you can have Love you've got to have respect. The trouble is - neither the Tea Party - nor God Himself - - seems to have learned this basic lesson.
Today's wisdom nugget courtesy Randy Rhodes: Projection is fine for theater managers but a bad thing for those who would claim to "assume responsibility for their actions". Capish?
I’m doing the blogger
portion of this entry first. It was
pointed out that I was rather “incomplete” in my criticism of Governor
Christie. Let me recap last night at this time: . Anne Romney gave a complete nothing of a
speech and Bill said “She didn’t say anything’ before I said it. She didn’t.
We know absolutely nothing more about Mittens than we did before she
started except that he was good looking,
they met at a high school dance, and they married young, and she wanted
at least one girl. Then I went for one
cigarette. When I returned Governor
Christie was already speaking. It was
7:37 and he spoke till 8:01 so it was not a particularly long speech and he
spoke fast. He said a lot of good
platitudes and trueisms, that could be applied generally and I agree with. The trouble is virtually none of the good
things he said applied to the Romney campaign and I’m sure that Obama and Byden
will point that out. NBC broke away from
the hall very soon after eight. It was pointed out that
I was rather “incomplete” in my criticism of Governor Christie. This is because I believed when I heard it
that he HAD pulled off some kind of a New Jersey Miracle as Governor. The facts are quite different. In the first place governors of all fifty are
required to balance their budgets, so why single him out as though he’d
accomplished something unique. He raised
pension funds and broke teacher’s unions.
But even though he cut come taxes it was merely a form of burden
shifting because local property taxes had to be hiked way up to make up the
different. At this time unemployment in
New Jersey is over nine & a half percent right now. Randy thought that it was a rather combative,
humorless, angry speech. And they say he
pissed off Romney in refusing to even mention the nominee for the first
fourteen minutes into the speech. And I
saw it when he had everyone stand up and Anne Romney stood up, but Mitt Romney
refused to stand up and Randy says “I bet he was really pissed at Christie at
that point. Apparently Santorum kept
using the word “hands” in one of his speeches and Randy thought he had an obsession
like that John Boulton had a “hands” obsession with Bush. And John Boehner told this drunk about a guy
who walked into a bar, but he sounded a little crocked himself to me. And the more he talked the less funny he
sounded, which is the classic problem of lushes anyhow. They think they are a lot funnier than they
really are. There is one statement of
Anne Romney I agree with and that is “We aren’t dumb enough to realize that
certain problems have no easy solutions but we are also to smart to realize
that- - in essence, certain constructive steps could not be taken to make the
problem a lot more bearable than it otherwise would be. The tag line is “This pain we are going
through is worse than it has to be” and in this I am in agreement. However it’s this republican obstruction
congress that has blocked passage of needed jobs bills. As such, almost all of the statements made at
yesterday’s convention have a hypocritical ring to them. At first paste- blogger "86"d the whole rest of this first paragraph for some reason.
There are uglier things
occurring that they aren’t reporting.
One deligate from Puerto Rico was trying to speak and was interrupted by
loud choruses of “USA”, which I gather were unwanted at the time. Some say that Christie went off the
plantation last night in that he did not give the scripted speech agreed on
beforehand. There was a lady CNN
camerawoman who was taunted or something when people - - deligates I guess- -
threw peanuts at her saying “This is what we feed the animals” and of course
the woman was Black. Ron Paul people are
furious because neither he no any other candidate was even allowed to have
their names put into nomination. But
worse than that Romney as head of the party has “retroactively” made rules
concerning the conduct of deligates, and also the fact I gather that Romney
will personally be in charge of all future deligations and the whole primary
election process will be done away with, and that the deligates now at the
convention do not have a right to vote for the man to whom they are
pledged. I’d still unclear how Romney
did all this “retroactively”. Of course
Ron Paul refused to endorse Romney in his proposed speech but he felt he was
entitled to give a speech anyhow since he was a major candidate, and reason
dictates he should have a slot. Tonight
Paul Ryan is speaking and that should be a real freak show in itself.
The LAPD is out of
control once again. As you know almost
from the inception of my first snail mails to the media in mid 1974, I’ve been
down on the LAPD. We thought that since
the dark days of Daryl Gates in excess of twenty years ago, things had improved
markedly. But there is now a new
militarization of police departments all over.
According to David Cruise, who likes doing this police relations stuff, Here’s a news flash from Rand Paul. “My wife told me to count to ten before I
lash out about health care STILL being unconstitutional. The trouble is of course- - - I Can’t Count
That High- - - so THERE!” There was a
White - - five foot four woman and a registered nurse- - was pulled over by LA
cops in Tajunga (which last I checked was no where near Paccoima) and they were
in a taco bell parking lot. And the cops
ordered the woman out of her car because she had been using a cell phone. Then the two of then threw her face down hard
into the parking lot, and then handcuffed her.
And then they three her down AGAIN - - while cuffed- - and one cop kind
of leared over her to insure that her head slammed into the pavement with
maximum force, without use of hands to break her fall. They say the video is painful to watch. Then they did sort of a hi five with their
fists. And now we hear that people who
chose who gets hired actually screen FOR the more violent and “proactive”
cadets to be accepted. Because when it
comes to Las Enforcement “Violence is IN again”. David Cruise had another story this hour
concerning a Hispanic woman at a city council meeting who spoke a bunch of
obscenities in Spanish. And by the way “Ya
Basta!” is not an obscenity. But I’m
still not going to tell you what it means.
If you’re not from these parts than - - Tough!
Apparently there is a new book called "It's even worse than you think it is" concerning the political right wing. I don't see how it could be any worse. But who would guess that congressmen and other tea baggers met at the beginning of President Obama's term to map out a strategy on how this administration can be made to fail, and at all costs to prevent his reelection. I mentioned I'd heard a story about certain racist football teams sabotaging black quarterbacks that are hired. And the White receivers will drop the ball deliberately to make these Black quarterbacks look bad and hopefully to get fired. The Republicans were exactly this way with the whold debt ceiling thing and doing everything they could to push the United States government into default. And I told you Rush Limbaugh was downright giddy that day at the prospect of this happening. Apparently a far right terrorist plot has been discovered that will poison the water of Washington State and to sabotage the apple crop or whatever. Of course you know the ammount of stuff that occurs that doesn't make the news would fill a book. Who would guess an Iraqi vetteran being booed when he asks a question at a debate. Who would guess funerals of military heroes who died in the war would be disrupted by Hate groups, and the Courts would side with the hate groups? Now I'm hearing that FOX talked over the singing of the national anthem last night. You have churches preaching that 9 - 11 is the judgement of God for homosexuality. You have this utterly hypocritical theme of "We Built That" held in a convention center that was two thirds funded by the government and one third by a sports team. You have one of the speakers who said 'I built my business alone" but received a seventeen million (?) dollar grant from the government or some such thing. You have Paul Ryan going to college on OASDI insurance, now bad mouthing the government that paved his way in life, in the tradition of Clarence Thomas. They are happy to climb the rungs of the ladder extended to them, but then pull up the rope ladder to insure that no others follow after them. And then they taunt you with sayings like "Anybody can make it if they try". In my own personal case - right wingers I know treat ME one hell of a lot differently than they claim to treat people in general "who are honestly trying to get ahead". Rather than welcome original thought and new innovations- - I can personally tell you these people stand for the exact Opposite. What I WAS going to use this paragraph for was to Reveal the sizable area in my life where I had created an extensive labyrinth of myth. But I concluded 'It would be just too traumatic for my readers to take". (probably a gross over-reaction) So I decided to focus on the myths of OTHERS instead. Let me give you hints. (I owe you that) The dates according to myth are late February 1966 - December 1975. The actual dates are May 1973 - December 1975. [ Let me interrupt myself right here to mention the "pre note" guitar riffs in "A Whole Lot of Love". Today "A Whole Lot of Myth" was recorded, but this is primarily a song about the tea party rather than yours truely. This whole 'precognative maneuver - - was also employed with both Jim Cooper - - and Dick Llyle. Back to text] Chapters in the "myth exposed" might consist of "The Chicago phone call August 1967, "Going to Chicago" David Graham: lead vocal March 1970. The Catalina trip June 1970. ( "An institutional favorite - ha ha"). RAM. Imagine. The truth about fall 1980. First cousins and other bogus associations. Aston Martin. Dick Llyle: A chapter right out of Maxwell's Silver Hammer. The Wrigley connection. The Spaniard in the works - - Eating chocolates. If you think these chapter headings are strange, what about the Chapters in "Essential Christianity" - which are equally "strange" but everybody believes them as rock ribbed reality. (Selah)
Today it was Federico
rather than Sarah who took us to Wall Mart.
I noted that the sign up sheet said nine o clock, and like I say I was
number ten on the list. They were just loading the first group into the van
when I got out there and then I borrowed a cigarette from Glen and after
smoking decided to check on the room and take a leak before Nora got there to
change the linens. I hurried back down
and soon Federico returned and I told him I needed to go to the bank. He was actually non committal but I got in
the van anyhow. It wasn’t till we were
actually parked at Wall Mart that he was explicit in saying yes he would take
me to the bank. It was just about a half
mile away or only a couple blocks down La Palma. There was virtually no line and I copied the
account number and used my card. I got
that old lady teller who is really nice.
She kind of reminds me of Terry Hill’s mother. It turned out there was only just in excess
of two dollars in my account but that was enough for a ten & a half can of
Master Chef from Wall Mart. I got my two
dollars and receipt and we headed to Wall Mart.
I hurried into the store and got my coffee on aisle seven. There was virtually no check-out line. If they had raised the price I would have
been up a creek without a paddle. I had
to make a number of assumptions but they all panned out. People began filing back and joined me at the
bench. Federico said he would give us an
hour but I don’t think (unlike Sarah) that was actually that long.
