George Zimmerman's Wife Files for Divorce

We’ve been having hot weather ever since Syria has been in the news, for whatever cosmic connection there is.  David Cruise is sick of Syria and I’m tired of Randy Rhodes and me being on the opposite sides of the fence on this issue.  As you know of all the jocks,  Randy Rhodes is perhaps the one I agree with most, most of the time.   President Obama is facing that major embarrassment of “suppose they threw a war and nobody came?”  Former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Viragosa is getting into the “Herbal life” business selling health foods.  But the Latinos say the whole company is a big rip-off, like a pyramid scheme.  Gee, and I thought they only sold wholesome foods.  Then David talked about how not hiring workers in government actually wastes money because of all the Overtime that has to be paid out.  I have often why corporations would rather pay people overtime than just go on and hire more workers.  But then Cruise talked about the Immigration bill languishing in the Republican House.  There is this one Latino who came here at age nine- and eight years later applied for citizenship, and that was in 1994 - - and he’s still waiting for immigration to process his request.  That isn’t a government log jam- - that government necrosis- - because something has died in there.  I wonder if we can pass a national initiative bill to fire everybody in congress and hold a special election where corporate funds are banned?  John Boehner thinks the House is incapable of walking and chewing gum at the same time- and therefore won’t even schedule Immigration bill debate.

Shelly Zimmerman, wife of George Zimmerman- - has officially done it and filed for divorce.  I guess this is about as “unexpected” as Jack Deveroux’ arrest for selling drugs.  The wife was on some TV interview show and she says “All I am left with is broken glass”.  As you know “Georgie” never testified at her purgery hearing.  Of course his own defense team refused to call her to testify at HIS trial because she’s make such an impeachable witness.  (She’s probably more credible than all the other yahoo jokers they put up)  It’s like the Bible says “You reap what you sow”.   Speaking of “ignoring common sense cues” it seems President Obama was deliberately thirty minutes late in his meeting with Vladamir Putin and the diplomatic circles say that such conduct is “definitely meant to send a hostile message”.  Ol’ Zimmy just better hope that Shelly doesn’t decide to write a bestselling tell all biography.  Gen Mc Arthur got himself fired by being late for a meeting with President Truman aboard a Battleship.

The unemployment rate has fallen to 7.3%, which is the best reading of this recovery.  However there is “nothing to get up about” because the addition of jobs rate is still only 190,000 or something- - and we really need to be about 350,000 to get this recovery really going.  They said that the “ellegable workers actually working” percentage has “never been worse” and the only reason why the figure didn’t go up is because three hundred thousand people LEFT the work force last month.  So are the Republicans right?  Have we in fact been experiencing net job LOSSES each month with that many workers leaving.  So we didn’t add over a hundred thousand jobs we lost 110,000.  It’s depressing to think that the figure of five years ago WAS actually better than today’s figure.  Because when the economy was going the other way all the doom and gloom people, and rightfully so, were saying “This is a terrible employment figure”.   But they predicted things would not improve for “years and years”, and it’s happening that way.

This whole Michael Jackson trial is taking on a “never ending” quality to it.  Of course they are virtually reliving Michael Jackson’s entire life with all of its mishaps and mis-fortunes.  If you injure yourself in various ways while performing, I just hope he did have adequate medical coverage- - and also retains the right to sue damages for THOSE things.  I would never sign an employment contract that takes away your right to sue them.  The State legislature is sending Jerry Brown a bill to extend the family leave bill.  Personally I think they should negotiate times off with their employers and unions.  I think there is a danger of employers finding the whole thing such a pain in the ass they just decide to relocate in another state.   They said that now the Yosemite fire is eighty percent contained.  It was started by a campfire by a guy that park officials suspect of cultivating marijuana.  There have been no more stories about that “pick your own sex” gym locker law that Governor Brown signed.   Rush Limbaugh says that exercise does no good at all when it comes to losing weight, and claims that anyone who says it does, is perpetrating a fraud on you.  Rush Limbaugh then made some unusual statements about Apple phones.  He said that “I’m not a tecno-geek and therefore I don’t jailbreak my Apple phones.  But then says he has exclusive “tools that only rich people in the media like himself has” in order to get around some of the restrictions Apple might otherwise place on him.  He then said “Nobody cares about messing with stuff of the ordinary person”.   I guess that’s the same reason liberals attack conceal carry gun laws- - but then have a conceal carry permit themselves.  Because they’re privileged.  But just after this live presentation they run an ad of Rush where he says “Every single American out there is vulnerable to computer piracy”. 

This is after dinner on Friday September 6, 2013 and we got served pretty promptly today.  We had your standard “chicken fried steak” which isn’t, and mashed potatoes and gravy and over-cooked broccoli.  We had chocolate cake that was kind of dried out.  Janet offered me and Bill a choice of coffee cake or a big blueberry muffin and I took time before answering because they both sounded so good, but we both went with the coffee cake.  Janet gave me a new styrophoam cup and I am drinking that.  They are predicting now that the heat wave will end on Monday but even if there is a breeze- - like there seemed to be a minute ago- - they can be deceptive.  Last night there was a waft of a breeze in the evening that died a quick death just after sunset.  And yesterday in Boumont I think- - then said it was a hundred and then one of these flash thunderstorms we’ve been having in the afternoon came up- - and the temperature dropped to a milder 83, but then at six in the evening the temperature was back up over a hundred.  This is the longest sustained period of heat I remember since moving here.  This is the tenth day of really bad heat- - but from mid August or so on - - it’s been hot.

Last night I told you (I think) that I used up the last of the fresh ground coffee, and this morning I had a re-run-through.  It was the usual Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, and twice now I’ve been out of the room when a lady scored the big Jackpot.  She got a million dollars for only getting a clue on three letters of “Tough Workout”.  That’s a pretty good trick.  Denver won the game apparently.  After that late touchdown the game became clearly out of reach and the Baltimore Ravens now have to be the first team to lose an NFL game this year.  But I did do that blog post, which was sort of a last minute inspiration.  Of course I resort to a lot of intellectual trickery referring to alien civilizations you can’t find in the Wickipedia.  Also one of the Bible quotes I present was intended by the Author himself as a sarcastic statement.  And it would help to know that “six” is referred to as “sex” a lot in Latin.  A lot of the stuff is “famous cases of misquoting” but a lot of them are straight quotes- and a certain number are “backward masking”, which always boosted Paul and Jan Crouch’s ratings.  I didn’t sleep all that well last night.

 
Now for more "tricky" stuff.  Name the Islamic group that in Romulan means "The remaining one" but it's spelled just a bit differently.  Name the individual who shares Ringo's birthday- - and is according to us, Prophetically referred to in a Shirley Ellis song.   There was a Messiah figure who died around AD 110 but his "school" is referred to (strangely) in the Biblical Book of Acts.   "Go thow, and sin no more" does not appear in Tatian's version of the Bible around 170 AD.  Neither does the Roman "Enrolement" or that "Both Joseph and Mary are of the house and lineage of David".   John Knox, you know Groundskeeper Willy's good buddy, believes Marcion got a bum rap and he couldn't have "distorted" something that didn't yet exist.
Name the dead guitar player I have never have claimed to have talked to personally
Also- name the dead guitar player - - where the two of us know each other the best.

OK that last one didn't play guitar, and nobody in my cosmic circle has even referred to his death.
Name the dead singer and musician who played the same instrument in his band, that David Graham played in one of my brother's old bands.  He had this habbit of moving around furniture in my bedroom at the Palm Street house right after he died, blocking the door so you couldn't open it.
