First of all it's a double barreled loss for our side this evening Dick Lugar lost in his race to hold his Senate seat in the Indiana primary thanks to a tea party candidate. The charge was leveled that Lugar last sold his house in Indiana in the 'seventies but nobody made it an issue till this election. They say he was too concerned with foreign affairs and not interested in the concerns of the people of Indiana. They say that President Obama could always "count him for his vote' on something the President wanted passed. Normally that would be an asset for anybody, but not this year. Some said it's because "He's getting too old" because he's been around an awfully long time and was a pet of Richard Nixon. Mitch Daniels supported Lugar, which will now dash his chances for being picked by Mitt Romney for Vice President. This is not good. Also in North Carolina proposition one passed. This makes it the 27th or whatever State to expressly define "marriage' as a union between one man and one woman. We Stephanie Miller has been telling us, other rights by heterosexual unmarrieds may be jeopardized by this Constitutional Amendment. In California even if you change the State Constitution - - a Court can still overrule the will of the people any time in a ruling. In Al Qaeda news one official criticized the President for saying that "Because of all the security measures we've taken, Al Qaeda has been vastly weakened. This displeased our speaker because 'We should not divulge any secrets, even ones of favorible propaganda value".
This whole Obeist thing is getting out of hand. Now they are saying that your "butter ball" two year old toddler may be at risk and that "young mothers need to be reeducated". Five year olds are having glucose tollerance problems. Eight year olds are developing type II diabetes. Unbelievable! I can state with almost metaphysical certainty that twenty years or whatever from now 42% of the people of America will NOT be overweight as any normal person defines the term. Of course "I never bet on a sure thing". For instance I can now say with metaphysical certainty that Sarah was wrong when she announced just after dinner (as early as we eat) that Dr. Levy would be here at six thirty tonight. By the way I think I can "Prove" that Gene Scott does NOT believe in God. Gene Scott would not if he truely "only bets on a sure thing" then have endorsed the lady who prophisyed over him in 1967 with a five point prophecy he often repeated on his show. Because points three, four, and five were no way even close to becoming fulfilled before he died. If we thus assume Gene Scott is "risk averse' in the tradition of Mitt Romney, then he did NOT really believe her because if he did something he "bet on" would not prove to be a "sure thing". But back to the overweight thing. Now they are saying that school officials and state and local officials have to get together because they now say "This isn't a question of Will Power any more but rather a case of society being so pro food and high calorie that society as we know it needs to be transformed somehow. Back in the 'seventies they used to say that we suffered from being a "Pro natalist society" and THIS was something we had to change because we were promoting "having babies" as being too appealing and brainwashing women that somehow they aren't really fulfilled or actualized unless they bore children. Now others are worried about this so called "gluten free" diet and that ALL people should NOT be on gluten free diets because this diet in and of itself constitutes health and nutritional risks. So next time you hear somebody just flapping their gums on the subject of nutrition - - don't argue with the TV just get up and - - change the channel.
An Author of Children's Books has passed away and his most famous work is "Where the Wild Things Are" that was out in 1963, which was after my time. This author's Dad told him scarey stories when he himself was a child. Now he says he doesn't really "like children" but enjoys them "few and far between". These weren't any Disney type fairy tales but riddled with scarey monsters and the like- - as sort of a Stephen King for children, I would suppose.
Sometimes we need to RE-think certain things such as Lennon's song "The Dream is Over". In the Alex Travek tradion we need to RE it, and change the message, as I did with this vintage image. By the way I also flip flopped the colors just to make it different. Later on Lennon wrote "You may think that I'm a dreamer - - but I'm not the only one". Bob Dylan once lamented "Now with passing time it seems everyone's been having them dreams. Each person sees themselves walking around with nobody else". I think it was Yoco Ono or somebody who uttered the immortal line 'I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours". That's such a fascenating subject. I once had a dream years back where me and my then roommate Mike Guereo were in some western style jail cell and we were sentensed to be hanged at sundown for a crime neither of us had comitted. I never told this dream to Mike and inquired whether he ever had the same dream. A lot of times we'll look at a foxy chick and she'll look at you and you'll look at her and you'll be thinking "Are you having the same thought I am?" Of course what the tea party does is to want us to feel like we're all alone and worse "abnormal" for believing what we do. This is a classic tool of Cult leaders for their "divide and conquer" strategy. People like Chris Matthews are invaluable now in exposing Romney as the vain and money grubbing and shallow human being that he is. The people of Salem are not the only people where "Ten thousand people are whispering and nobody is doing anything about it". We know that the current governmental system as now corrupted by the tea party "is rapidly fading" and "get out of the new road if you can't lend your hand". We on the left have to build that road, much as the Roman troops before they put the siege to the fortress of Messada in 73 had to First "build the road" TO it. That takes work, and it also takes a lot of planning and patience. But if we don't one day- - and it will come sooner than you think - - we will be strangling in traffic jams and over-populated and over polluted and unable to get anywhere or get anything passed in any Legislative Body. We are lose to reaching that "tipping point" where the media and electoral and legal system will have become so corrupted that it is beyond remedy. I don't know whether or not someone like Karl Marx had these thoughts in the formation of his philosophy. It will give us on the left little solice at all that we were proved absolutely right and Mitt Romney's presidency indeed lead to the greatest National deboccle we've ever seen where the wage base is driven to near nothing, nobody has any individual legal rights- - and the economic distribution curve more resembles something out of the Middle Ages than anything in the Twetieth Century. Because by then we will find that too much water has gone under the bridge and that it is truely just Too Late.
