The Left Behind Series (Part of the 35,000)
2007-08-13 16:35:00 Stuck and Suicidal in Post Katrinaland Thanks a lot NPR for re-reminding us once again about the clueless people still living in their FEMA travel trailers 2 years after they really should have moved on. These are the 35,000 Katrinaland people who are trapped(their words) in a vicious circle they cannot get out of. There will never be a place for them again in or around where they used to reside. Ever!So why don't they just hitch up that travel trailer and move the fuck out of their self-imposed prison(their words) where each and every day they think about offing themselves. MONEY.These people actually think that if they had the money to move out of the FEMA trailer parks.....they would. Fancy that.However, the clueless, hapless, depressed and suicidal cannot for the life of them, all 35,000, figure a way out. That's 35,000. Not 3,500. This is a left behind book that is not part of the rapture or the 4400. This is a Left Behind Book that makes someone feel like a Behind....... More About: Series , Part , Serie , Erie
This Is A Great Journalism Man
2007-08-11 18:55:00 "Journalsim Matters" that's what he said. Then Bill Moyers proceeded to go down a list of journalists who died while doing their jobs. All targeted. All taken out on purpose. "Journalsim Matters" he silently whispered to the audience of Journalism Teachers and Mass Communication conference goers where he spoke on Thursday.He told the audience of SRO's "I wake up to Talking Points Memo blogger Josh Marshall and go to bed with Jon Stewart of the Daily Show.I cried after a saw this speech and I can still tear up thinking about him.What else can you say about people who truly move you?Even if it's just like a little crowd sourcing pro-am blog like mine....He makes me wanna contribute something, anything to the mix.

When A Bridge Is Not A Bridge
2007-08-04 04:30:00 Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...Thus sayeth the Freudian Frauds. Sometimes a bridge is not a bridge...it is a symbolic metaphor for a desperately needy infrastructure crumbly to the ground. Sometimes little children's nursery rhymes come to mind.. London Bridge is Falling Down perhaps? Change the name of the bridge to the I-35 Bridge and Wella.......London Bridge was based on an absolutely true occurrence by the way. Sometimes I wonder if kids know that when they sing "Ashes Ashes We All Fall Down... that that nursery rhyme was based on the Black Plague? Boy those English people have such a rye sense of humor.Who's next? What's next? A security expert has said it would take the Federal Government 200 billion dollars to do what desperately needs to be done to all our bridges. How much is that war "over there" costing us a day? Something tells this girl the U.S. needs to stay home, mind it's own business and quit telling other countries how to be, what they shou...
One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other
2007-08-02 16:33:00 So why does a Jimmy Buffet book show up on Amazon's book list of people who also bought Joe Biden's book? Are baby boomers that into Joe Biden, Jimmy Buffett and politics? Among other books on the list are: BROTHERS: The Hidden history of the Kennedy Years....PRESIDENTIAL COURAGE: Brave Leaders and How They Changed America 1789-1989.....NO EXCUSES: Concessions of a Serial Campaigner....and FDR.BOATS, BEACHES, BARS and BALLADS is Jimmy Buffett's book. Which when put together with all the above history/political this CD collection stuck out like old Sesame Street jingle. "One of these things is not like the other..one of these things just doesn't belong... Or in less kindergarten like terms....

A Disgrace To the Human American Vet Race
2007-08-01 15:32:00 Does anyone remember when Congress FORGOT to include in the budget the 2 Billion dollars that they needed to take care of the returning war vets from Iraq and Afghanistan? I do. I remember Lynn Woosley getting up on that floor at the podium and saying the selfsame words "This is an outrage and abomination and a disgrace to the human race, (paraphrased for brevity and nice polite and erudite speech) The words that come to my mind are not meant for virgin ears.... or readable without a bunch of expletives. These MFers of course would be the most dramatic of the words. I could go on...but why? My blog is not pasteurized, homogenized and sanitized for your your hearing protection.

Galileo, Galileo........And Fat Bottom Girls Make Queen's Brian May's Rocke
2007-07-28 17:27:00 Who knew? The former Queen guitarist is now an astro physicist. In a rare star party Brain May attended the opening of The Great Canary Telescope. Wonders never cease I guess for a guy who wrote the guitar riffs for Bohemian Rhapsody, Fat Bottom Girls and We Will Rock You. Before being catapulted to stardom Brian May was working on his astrophysicist's degree at The Imperial College Of London. Well now he got it.Quite frankly, I think he had it before Queen because a lot of the groups songs involve references to "out there" stuff.~Leave it to NPR to provide all the "out there" stuff that mainstream media just ignores like a cheap whore.

2007-07-23 19:39:00 Once again the Wall Street tycoons play or prey(whichever emotion you prefer) upon the clueless or hapless or wannabes of American Dreams in a collective combined consciousness to be like the others. All americans want to have a piece of the property pie...it is unAmerican not to want what your neighbor has.

Don't Stand So Close To Me
2007-07-20 17:35:00 This article posted on Arts and Letters Daily is veeery interesting. It describes in great detail the need, the desire, the passion for teachers an/or professors to have a brainlove with their students.Everybody...I don't care who you are... has had one of these special relationships with at least one teacher in their lifetime. If you haven't...you've missed a great experience to experience the ah ha's of learning. It may come 2 days later, 2 weeks later, 2 years later or 20 years later.

Lest You Think Yoga and Meditators Are Considered A Threat To The American
2007-07-16 15:37:00 This all encompassing proof that the threat to the American Way is considered under attack by the Angry White Male Christian Domination movement this outrageous historic interruption on the floor of the Senate is really only one of many proofs of what Chris Hedges calls in his book American Fascists..... Harry Reid with all his Senate majority leader open-mindedness invited this Hindu man to open the prayer on the floor I guess believing everyone was welcome to participate in the God process of prayer."I think it speaks well of our country that someone representing the faith of about a billion people comes here and can speak in communication with our heavenly father regarding peace," said Mr Reid, who is a Mormon.For several days, some Christian religious groups had urged their members to object to the prayer because Mr Zed would be "seeking the invocation of a non-monotheistic god"."We shall not tolerate intolerance" to quote a recent Third Reichlike South Park episode seems to be ...

The Great American Idol Psyche Out
2007-06-17 13:04:00 As usual the Great American consciousness is only equal to how many people vote on American Idol . It's your civic duty as an American to do so. You know what they say "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day...teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime" If one were to substitute the word COMPUTER for the word fish (spelt PHISH in this day and age and time zone)The old proverb would read something like this: "Give a man a computer and he'll PHISH for a day...teach a man to compute and he'll PHISH for a lifetime. In this instance, in the Great American Psych e Out....ain't nothing computing apparently. What can one say when Paris Hilton is the new celebrity American Idol who according to Wanda Sykes "has fucked up being rich...how can you fuck up being rich? That's all you have to do is Be Rich..... and you fuck it up" Go Figure. But this is the what the mainstream culture is feeding us. Spoon feeding I might add like a little baby in a high chair.

Press The Blind, Deaf and Dumb MUTE BUTTON: He's talking again
2007-06-15 20:30:00 The best thing one can do for one's self these days is to read the closed captioned for the hearing impaired subtitles below the President's speeches so you won't have to have your intelligence insulted anymore than it's already been. Better yet, think of the closed captioned for the hearing impaired words like subtitles to a foreign movie in a different language. This makes it a whole lot easier to understand the doublespeak and jabberwockery that flows melifuously from our dear decider's lips. Here's your sign fellow rednecks. As in sign language. This sign is geared toward those of us who are whistling past Dixie and the good ole' boy network. Even the Dixie Chicks are whistlin'past Dixie. When 2/3 of the country mutes the president, but listens to Oprah, it's a sign.

FLAG DAY and THE COSMIC MESSAGE: THE ZENING OF DUBYA by The Cosmic Messenge
2007-06-15 14:34:00 THE COSMIC MESSAGE: THE ZENING OF DUBYA by The Cosmic Messen gerAs usual the link to a link causes this spark of contra views on the sad state of affairs in our country. Yesterday was Flag Day. I must confess hanging my huge flag outside was just not the same as it has been in Flag Days past. I recall better days when the pride I felt was one of sincere kinmenship for all the things the flag represented..... However, my zealousness has waned a bit in the past 6 years. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's just a feeling. I wonder if my relatives, all flag flying loyal veterans, dead and alive feel the same way. Quite frankly I think they are rolling over in their graves(those are the dead ones)The alive ones are not that bellicose nationalistic to go along with any old thing. It just ain't the same feeling anymore. The Change has come.

Self-Taught In America Today
2007-06-11 14:24:00 Back there in sociology class we discussed big thinkhead issues. For example, we debated and discussed and sometimes caused riots right there in Dr. Tim's class by bringing up such hair-raising stuff like "Why do we tell ordinary workdaday civilians of society's people it's not o.k. to kill somebody, but when we give 'em a gun and make'em soldier after they join the military and wella! they have instant permission to kill and murder? Then when they get out of the military the rules change back again,thus the two worlds are like night and day and readjusting to "The no permission to kill" law could take some getting used to. After years of brainwashing to believe "you have permission to kill" vs "we don't do that in the civilized world" is really kinda mindboggling when you think about.Another question we pondered and discussed and mulled over and nearly caused riots over right there in class was "In the future will all parents be required to have a license to have kids?

Playing God Again: American Stats That Will Blow Your Mind....and I don't m
2007-05-31 17:51:00 Once again in the "You can't make this strictly American shit up" category the United Stat es gets the second to the last prize before Turkey in a field of 34 countries that believe that evolutionary science is not real. If it is not real, it doesn't exist and therefore is open to the interpretation of the interpretter. You might as well be speaking Bantu or Swahali or Apache or Cherokee when it comes to the natural world vs. America vs. God vs. Man thought process. 42%of America does not get "it". The rest of the world gets "it" or at least the 32 other countries who were polled for the answer to the question...... is evolution real or a hoax. "It" in this sense is the ability to hold two dualistic thoughts in one's head, side by side and be both, with no problem to understand them. Which is the reason why as Bill Gates so aptly puts it "when he goes overseas to the Orient, (the Yin and Yangers) he deals with engineers and scientists in top government positions, but when he co...

Captive Audiences?..........Take No Prisioners!
2007-04-23 22:28:00 After reading yet another article on Imus, which is old news now that the Virginia Tech massacre has overtaken our national collective psyches, these 2 words jumped out at me. CAPTIVE AUDIENCE."There is no captive, fragile audience or hostile environment such as the workplace or schoolhouse to worry about -- just the robust radio world, full of gabbers, some of whom want to be taken seriously, some of whom try frantically to use words simply to entertain -- and who screw up -- and others who use satire and devil's-advocacy to push us to think.(quote from original article)So what exactly is a captive audience?A place with bars on the doors and windows where people go to be captivated?A place where people feel trapped? These are some quotes from around the United States from big thinkheads who try to identify the definition of a "captive audience"Personally I like the idea that "you have the button.....push it."So I gathered info from the GOOGLE SEARCH on "Captive Audience " The ...

The scheduled speech slated for April 26th 2007 is being vehemently protested throughout Latter Day Saints Land.Of course this brew ha ha brewing like a cauldron of Holy Oil in Iraq and the Middle East will not be covered in the mainstream media. Of course the politics of this discourse and those who do not agree that having the vice-president of the United States give your commencement address at your once in a lifetime graduation from college as being considered good thing will be opposed by the rightwingers as anti-Christian Latter Day Saint behavior that Brigham Young himself as label as "anti family valuers,...
