It's Called Moral Depravity

Prospects for a favorable outcome in the George Zimmerman trial already pretty much appear doomed at this point.  We know the jury is made up of six middle aged white women.  I take it ‘middle aged” is a euphemism for “menopausal”.  And we all know from Rush Limbaugh’s undeniable Truths that unattractive women take out their sexual frustrations by going into politics, or in this case a jury panel.  But the jurors even at this early date have already prejudiced themselves.  One juror spoke of the ‘riot” that took place during a day of quiet protest in Sanford Florida on behalf of Trayvon Martin.  Another juror asked “What was that Black doing out at seven o clock at night anyhow?” as if Black teenagers had sunset curfiews or something.  We pretty much know that they aren’t going to use the vocal analysis science to confirm for positive sure that it was Trayvon’s voice screaming just before we hear a gunshot on the 9-11 call and all screaming stops.  Now we are informed that the Distorict Attorney won’t be allowed to mention Racial Profiling in his opening remarks at al.  If it were me I’d do it anyway since race is the heart of this case.  And I will quote Rush Limbaugh on the subject of Collin Powel endorcing President Obama in 2008 “It’s ALL about Race!”  That’s how these people think.  I remember when Judy first chimed in about who was a better candidate Hillary or Barock, and it was then I got the first glimmer of this deep resavaur of hate and dread she and so many others feel tword this president and it colors and drives literally everything they say and do.   Now on some right wing news show other remarks are made.  “Well, Trayvon could have murdered him by breaking a bottle of Iced Tea over his head”.  Except that it was a can and not a glass bottle.  Then we hear “Trayvon Martin would still be alive if he didn’t have a street attitude”.  What does that mean?  He ran but didn’t run fast enough away from this guy who was following him?  I wouldn’t bet two cents on their being a just verdict in this case.  Now we also hear that “George Zimmerman has been under a great deal of stress.  He can’t go anywhere.  And to cope with the stress he’s been eating so it’s Trayvon’s fault that my client has packed on fifty pounds in the past year”.  The statements continue to get sillier and sillier.

I would like to turn now to Rush Limbaugh’s attitude of “the statement behind the statement”.  A therapist like Dr. Phil or a Priest would be most interested in Rush Limbaugh’s remarks.  We know he always says “The pure” instead of “poor” as is mocking some unknown liberal bleeding heart.  He states that it’s a moral weakness, a character flaw to feel sympathy and have a desire to help a poor person you see on the street.  Well here I might slightly agree with Rush.  If I saw some smelly homeless wino on the street I’d be disinclined to help him.  But I might call my city councilman and ask about jobs programs or measures to get the homeless off the street- - and suggest some training program.  But it’s clear that Rush has a generic hatred of “the poor” as a group regardless of their individual character.  After all as Mitt Romney says they are a part of that “lazy 47% of Americans who will never amount to anything but will always be on the government dole.   Rush also used to mispronounce the NY Governor’s name as “Coomo” like “coon” or something- - because he says “That’s the way Jesse Jackson pronounced it”.  The thing is Rush didn’t used to be like this but he turned bitter after the 1996 loss to Clinton, and never got used to that.   He lost his TV show.  Of course Rush Limbaugh is probably Thee most influencial man in America.  He got Newt Gringrich to take back his “Right wing social engineering” remark on “Meet the Press” and perswaded John Boehner to change the date he would allow the President to speak in the House chamber, merely because Rush wanted him to.  And he even lit into Herman Cane because Cain was offended by Governor Rick Perry’s “Nigger Head” remark.  And Rush loves to race bate- - even if he’s attacking a fellow conservative.

We already told you the immigration bill probably won’t go anywhere because it either does or will contain too many “poison pills” placed there by Republicans as amendments.  We all know that the United States Congress as presently constituted is one of the most corrupt, useless bodies on the face of the earth.  With all the “lobbyist in training’ activities going on there involving Billions upon Billions of dollars, I don’t know why David Cruise is so taken with this Calderone brothers scandal involving a mere six million.  That’s not even decent pocket change to the Koch Brothers.  But now we have this farm subsidy bill that was voted on yesterday and apparently failed.  That’s a good thing because I guess the big corporations who would get the lion’s share of government funding.  But the REASON why it failed is fascinating.  It seems that the bill did not contain a big enough CUT in Food Stamps that the Republicans from Texas and elsewhere badly wanted.  You see some people don’t know that you apparently have to be both employed AND earning a pittance – to even qualify for food stamps.  And then you get a whopping $31.50 a week or something - - or is that a month?  So they continually make reference to “riding the food stamp gravy train” and have made this a major goals of theirs to reduce the Food Stamp budget at least fifteen percent.  But as one Black guy said “Nobody would run an elaborate money scam where the pay off was only $31.50.   None the less we hear endless remarks about “gaming the system”.  But right now about it’s time for ME to eat dinner.

I guess it was a few weeks back when the thought hit me, whether it was actually Me or maybe it was Burt Lombard - -  and as to exactly who, "No se!"   But it was that "If you tell the family too much about how much progress you are making in cutting out smoking- - you know they're going to move heaven and earth to Extinguish that behavior".    That's a term that hasn't crossed my mind since my days in Psychology class with Mr Lee in the spring of 1969.  It's odd but you'll remember this was the family's reaction to BOTH books I attempted to get published.  It was the reaction in the spring of 1965 when they received a highly favorible report about me from my guidance counselor.  And every time I discover a new interest or person, or develop a new ability like BASIC - - they will act bored as hell when I bring it up.  In the past twelve hours - - go ahead and hake it eighteen - - in the past eighteen hours I have had exactly three whole cigarettes, and precious few butts.  Yesterday between approximately the hours of 10:30 AM and 7:30 PM - - I consumed only one cigarette- - or maybe one & a half if you count that weirdo guy I'm not even sure what sex he is.  Dr. Levy didn't believe me when I brought this up about the family's reaction.  There are a lot of things concerning the relations with family members I'd regard as rather "strange" incing the fact that there are no children at any Christmas gatherings.  In fact I don't even have the privelege of being an Uncle because neither of my brothers have any children.  Well you know there's that line in the Godfather where Michael's wife says "I had an abortion.  It was a Son.  But I didn't want to bring another Corlione into this world".  There is "One trait that outshines them all" to quote the Doctor in The Heiress.  "Their Money.  They are good at being tight with it and hording it, and getting rich with it.  So what good will it do them?

Ron Rhodes used to tell how they had these Baptist Christian pamphlets for youths and there was a line in there about how “teenage boys need to guard against – long showers”.  And I guess a good Papal edict from Francis to the Monks might be “Lately Monks have been spending too much time on their knees”.  And if you’re Martin from the Simpson’s you’re never going to get that.  David Cruise said there was yet a NEW scandal in the past day or so involving a young school teacher and six of her stud students.  Which goes to show that there are a lot more “things” going on behind closed doors than anyone would suspect.  As to my own sexual track record, in the past dozen years my sexual purity has been so exemplary even Queen Victoria herself would feel “dirty” around me.  Of course you know why all of the priests who molest children are heterosexual, don't you?  Because all of the gay Priests have boyfriends.  Of course even though I'm not really "down" with the gay lobby, still I will occasionally toss a favorable remark in the gay lobby's direction, if it will tend to make Tea Party Christianity look bad.  And personally if there was a movement called "Take back Jesus from the Tea Party", I would join it.  Of course we had women deacons in our church, which isn't Biblical. Because it says it anyone would be an Elder or Deacon, let him be the husband of one wife and manage his own household with authority" or some such thing.  This by implication excludes women.  Which brings us to today’s Days of our Lives episode where Christine snuck into this Priest’s hotel room where he’d left explicit instructions not to be disturbed- - and she drugged him and was in the process of having sex with him till Nicole walked in.  Curiosity got the better of her and she peaked in the door.  Of all the people to find out about it- - this is best for Father Eric and worst for Christine, because the first thing you know Nicole is going to do is tell her ex fiancée Brady about it.   This will pour more fire on his other loathing of her as it is, and is one of the Stupidest things Christine could have done.  We then have Will Horton- - and for once I can be proud of him because for once he’s decided to man up and “grow a pair” and attempt to take charge of the situation.  And then we come to that pill popping son of Jennifer.  Jennifer has been telling her boyfriend “I can’t continue to see you the way I have, I’ve been having problems with my va-j-j.”  J J is a real “cunt” when you come right down to it.  It seems on a literal 24 – 7 basis he’s getting himself into Worse trouble than he was the hour before.  I guess I’d like to see just one seen with J J in it where he wasn’t either lying or pulling some scam- - or engaging in some cheap jouvenile prank.
