Hell hath no fury, Lewis!

(Inspector Morse)

My PC has been on the fritz the last two days.

Puttin on the fritz...

I spent another four hours 'cleansing it' and nothing seemed to work although Microsoft tells me that it cleansed my soul of virus's and such.

I finally recalled a function I have not used for a year.

The Restore Function (or some such label) lets you go back to an earlier date when your PC was working properly.

So I end up this afternoon with a computer that works like it did on 9/23!

Everything seems to be fine.

My 'streaming' seems to be working all right—I am currently streaming Louis CK on Netflix and there have been no interruptions for an hour or so.

(By the way, I am currently watching the sketch on Louis where he appears on Leno because Cruz --Tom not the Satan of the Senate) does not show up and.....well the only reason I bring this up is that to me the single funniest character on Louis is his 14 year-old-five-foot agent. This guy cracks me up more than any character I have ever witnessed on TV or the Big Screen! Hahahahhahhahah Except I have to add here that Louis CK just appeared on Letterman this week in a suit and he informed Letterman that he was not happy in a suit but Letterman had somehow lambasted him the last time he appeared on this talk show for not wearing a suit and....well, this is how my mind works. And therapy and drugs and counseling have never helped me a whit! Of course his Black ex-wife is pretty funny; especially since he has two white girls who look like by granddaughter. hahahahah)

Oh, and nothing I wrote and saved on my WP clone was lost.

Okay, so what if we could just go back.

I mean what if we could just 'erase' a huge block of our life.

I mean what if we could go back to some earlier age but still keep some sort of Word Perfect memory but find ourselves back in 1968? or 1971? or some other previous date?

I mean what if we could go back to sometime when we could actually answer the question posed in Peanuts decades ago:

CHARLIE BROWN: If only I knew then what I know now. I mean if only I knew then what I know now.

LUCY: Why? What do you know now?

I still know nothing, as Socrates might have put it.

I mean I could have written wonderful poems in the fifth grade.

I could have invested in Microsoft or Yahoo or Apple; depending upon timing of course.

Assuming my diaries worked properly of course,

And assuming I found the proper regimen of course.

And assuming that I would not fall into some great depression brought on by the fact that 58,000 American Soldiers died in Vietnam for no reason at all and that Rock Stars would die of drug use whilst tens of thousands of fans died from the same type of overdose and that...well you see where this is heading.

My kids would have been uplifted with educational funds to put them through Harvard or whatever university Cruz would approve. Except I never would have married my first wife. And that means I would not have two children.

Now we come to the subject of this meandering blog!

Say you were Rush; Rush fifty years ago.

And you discovered following your recovery function that even though you were fat and ugly and everyone of importance would steal your lunch money; even though you knew and absolutely knew that your brothers would become men of knowledge and become real contributing members of society; even though you would see that you were bound for four divorces; well how in the hell would you let go of 2 billion bucks by skipping college and using words like feminanazis and the N word and libtards or whatever....

Two billion bucks!

Or what if you are Ted Cruz and you were allowed to go back to the tenth grade and begin a new life with all you know in 2013?

Well, would you just diss a hundred million bucks or whatever (plus another couple hundred million bucks going to repub tyrants?) whilst you orate as a demagogue and pretend that universal health care does not help the public; whilst you attack food stamps and pretend that people working two jobs should not eat?; whilst you sought the repub nomination for POTUS?

Does anyone really think that Dick Cheney really believed that Hussein had anything to do with 9/11/01? No—except for maybe Britt Hume!

Would dick have done anything differently?

Cheney would have known that there would be a civil war in Iraq and that his company would make something approximating 100 billion bucks.

But then again, dicky already knew that back in 2001, didn't he?

Would the leaders of the NRA have done things differently in light of the carnage this nation has witnessed over the last five decades whereby 1.5 million Americans have died from gun discharges?

The only thing that can stop a bad kid with a gun is a good kid with a gun.

Would Bill O'Reilly have any change of heart if he had access to a recovery function?

O'REILLY: President Obama and his acolytes do not want Americans to accumulate wealth. They want to take private wealth away from those who have it and give it to those who don't have it. And they have succeeded in doing that with an assist from the Bush administration, which ran up colossal debt after 9/11. Taxes in America have reached critical mass.

O'Reilly speaks to God? No, more like God spoke to O'Reilly.

No, billo would simply understand that pretending to speak with Almighty and feigning some sympathy for the middle class might make him hundreds of millions of dollars.

Although he might have skipped those fantasy sponge baths!

But for some reason I cannot get Breaking Bad out of my mind!

I was thinking about Breaking Bad.

Everybody seems to be thinking about Breaking Bad; so it is not like I came up with a new perspective in defining the universe.

Walter White discovers that he is going to die of lung cancer.

It is funny, it is queer (if we were to listen to some Gilbert and Sullivan presentation for sure) that Walter White is not in the best of moods prior to setting out in his mobile home through the desert.

Walter teaches chemistry at some high school where middle class folks do not give a shite.

Mr. White, who has a wife and an extremely disabled kid not only has been diagnosed with cancer of the lung (even though unlike me never smoked?) but he discovers that his wife of fifteen or so years is now pregnant with their second child.

As the links will show and as the series progresses (and you all well know how the series progresses) Walter understands what will come next.

Would a recover function do anything for Walter's cancer or his fear of dying?

No, but it might have helped his cash reserves depending upon his choice of relation back date.

But how would Walter be better able to express his deep deep anger over his fate?

Sorry, I was just musing over my recover function.

And, it looks like my damn machine is working just fine!
