One Taco Short of a Combo  (six person roundtable discussion) 10:30

The front photo of the latest Sirius A album- - out in vinyl and CD- - is of a “Tacoria” taco place and there is one line (to the left) with the lead customer being handed a combo plate and there is a line to the right where the customer still hasn’t been served.  Hillary is standing between these two lines eating a taco.  The title “One Taco Short of a Combo” refers not to Donald Trump’s mental state but rather that Hillary was “Eating” Sander’s votes- - votes which Bernie Sanders would have gotten for President on Tuesday.  On the bottom of the back of the album are the popular vote tallies from 2016 and 2012.  It so happens that Romney got more votes than did Trump.  Romney got sixty million votes and Trump got not quite sixty thousand votes being high in the 59’s.   The rest of the back is kind of an off white background with the album contents listed in fairly big letters. 

This album will be released tomorrow and right now three tracks are still in the editing process.  The designation of 10:30 is the time on EST eastern standard time, that people realized- - a dawning, grim reality- - that it looked like Donald Trump might well win this election.  It was a horrible, sinking feeling.   This roundtable “talking heads” discussion was of  Stewart Sutcliffe, and that “friend of his” (so previously designated) who in his prior life was a Comic-Pundit who died around 1994 or something, and four others.  We are working now on editing it down to 10 – 30.   3 4 5 is used in the Pythagarean thermo.  4:27 is the same of 3:87 a favorite Dead Zone number of ours in our return addresses (387 Desolation Row) and also the cubic inches of an old time Chrysler V8 engine.  You will note there are two George Harrison songs and no Mc Cartney songs.  This is to even up the balance from past inequities.  In terms of the Michael Moore movie excerpt- - this is the official edited version where Moore predicts last summer that Trump will be elected President.  He says “These people are all in a blind rage and they’re going to all vote for Trump and it’s going to feel so good!”  And then we cut it off.  The next words out of Michael Moore’s mouth are “for a day or a week or a month”.   Then we’ll all have buyer’s remorse much like the Brexit people are all having buyer’s remorse, and the British population wants a “do-over” or some other way to legally get out of it.  Actually I personally was invited to have a hand in the editing process and the first time I have visited Sirius A in a long time.  

 (In E mails) As you know Hillary won the popular vote but she only got sixty million votes and Obama got 66 million votes.  Vast segments of the American population didn't vote.  As such the media lied to us when they said how great Hillary was doing and how many people had come out to vote for her.  Mitt Romney got sixty million and Trump was just less than sixty million.  Clearly if Bernie Sanders had been the candidate he would have beaten Trump because we've had a campaign about the issues and not personal attacks about "crooked Hillary".   Obama in 2012 won every state Hillary won plus Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida.  Clearly "the rust belt" is what did Hillary in.  Strangely I am in agreement with Trump that we need better trade deals abroad and how we need to make sure NATO pays their bills and maybe being friends with Vladimir Putin wouldn't be such a bad thing.  I also am a economic protectionist, as Trump is.  Some refer to it as "Economic Nationalism".  I'm one of those.  America first!  But I fundamentally disagree with his "guns, pollution, and slashing taxes on the rich" platform.  Donald Trump is going to explode the federal deficet.  Strangely the place where you got the least biased news on the whole Sanders campaign verses Hillary- - was the Shawn Hannity program.  Left wing sources were almost obsessed with white washing Hillary's problems and propping her up and not mentioning Debby Wasserman Schult'z role and the whole Bernie sabotage thing.  But the left wing media was looking through the world with rose colored glasses saying how splintered the Republican Party is and how unified the Democrats are, when in reality it turned out to be just the opposite.   One female singer called Stephanie Miller this morning and is philosophical about Trump's presidency even though she is a lezbian.  She says she isn't worried.  She says that "The Universe has a plan for us and is working it out" or something.  The stock market is on a surge and is at record all time highs.  This is encouraging news.  

Do you think Trump will crack down on the "abuses of Wall Street".  Do you think there ARE abuses or don't you care?    I do agree with Trump in a number of issues.  We're all Christians who don't want abortions or gay marriage, or unbridled genetic tinkering around with our food or mixing cells with viruses or whatever.   We're both against physician assisted suicide.  I trust you and Judy are against the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement and all these other "agreements" that are passed unconstitutionally with this illegal "fast track" approach of Congress.  We both agree that there has been too much Judicial activism- - both on the left and on the right, I might add.  I want to overturn Citizen's United.  THAT was judicial activism.  We're both against cyber theft and other computer attacks by either China or Russia.  And we can agree that cyber bullying of children is a bad thing.  Of course we must always be vigilant against child sexual predators, too.  I am confident my Social Security won't be touched.  I believe many people voted for Trump assuming their OASDI and SSI were safe.  On the immigration and "extreme vetting" issues I won't be personally affected by these issues.  I too believe we should "protect the borders" assuming we aren't doing that already.  It wouldn't be such a bad thing if we sped up deportations and allowed local police to check for immigration status when a crime has been comitted.  I too am against so called "Sanctuary Cities".  I admire Trump's spirit and enthusiasm.  It may be strange to call him "Mr President".   Donald Trump is "still not ready for prime time" in my opinion.  He has two months to "edit out" all of his flaws to get him ready for January 20, 2017.   He hasn't done that yet but he'd better!  So will Donald Trump's inaugural speech be peppered with phrases like "We're going to act decisively and we're going to accomplish the plan very quickly" and words like "Huge" and "Tremendous" will be used a lot.  

  But I don't like all this talk about pollution run amuck and forgetting about Global Warming.  Judy forever is saying "Well maybe some day we'll do alternative energy but that's way down the line when the technology proves itself.  If we do it now it will cripple the economy".  We're several decades down the road from when Al Gore wrote his book "Earth in the Balance" in 1991.   I don't think "trickle down economics" has ever worked.  The only reason why it seemed to work under Reagan is because Ronald Reagan along with a democratic congress- - exploded the federal deficet.  That wasn't Carter but Reagan.  Also I'm not a "Second Amendment" nut.  I know me and Judy will never agree on these issues.
