WHERE DO WE GO WRONG?

Armitage Siren.JPG

Okay, I need a new notebook.

I mean, I need pages that can be properly folded!

I watch my cable far tooooo much.

Yet, I eschew most of the messages.

These ads tell me I am in need.

And who the hell is not in need?

COLLATERAL DAMAGE & TRUMP

Trump just got to me again.

I found this quote on the KO's:

The other thing with terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. When they say they don't care about their lives, you have to take out their families."

Collateral Damage is a wonderful term, do you not think.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

I have come to realize that my voice is irrelevant.

Beck feels that he is not irrelevant.
But Beck has millions of followers and Beck makes hundreds of millions of dollar, every damn year.
So how could Beck be irrelevant?

Limbaugh decided that he is not irrelevant. 
And Rush has millions of followers and he makes hundreds of million dollars everydamn year. 
So how in the hell would Rush ever feel he was irrelevant?

Do you ever have it with somebody?

We have two or three or ten countries within E PLURIBUS UNUM.

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER

The US Supreme Court has ofttimes used a 'balancing formula' to decide its cases over the last 80 years or so.

Individual interests vs. societal interests: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Brennan,_Jr.

or

political interests vs. money: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

or

the interests of the many vs. the interests of every goddamn moneyed prick who owns this country

or....

Anyway, my understanding of this nation is that we citizens must balance interests.

LET US PRAY

I am having trouble getting my head around all of this.

The repubs just continue to piss me off.

Except Kasich of course.

Let us pray that we shall find and subsequently exile or incarcerate all 'illegals'.

Let us pray that we might put stars upon those illegals; on their chests and with gps monitors within their skins so that we might more easily hunt them down.

Let us pray that we might abolish the FDR/commie idea of Social Security and do the same for Medicare

THERE IS A NEW DEBATE; LIVE BLOG

OKAY we shall try again?

I am afraid, but why not?

Trump has been trrumped as Ramona said recently.

This should be fun.

Marco is thinking he is the one even though he hates the Senate.

Carson is the real passive/ aggressive even though he seems to actually hates all minorities

KING ARTHUR WAS DISTRAUGHT

The barons were receiving most of the fruits from the King's war and the battles against the heathen Saxons.

His Majesty's serfs were not doing so well.

Merlin informed Arthur that true progress could not be witnessed in the foreseeable future unless the entire population shared in this new profit. The profit was realized per the battles against he barbarian Saxons

DAWN OF THE LIVING DEAD

The sun was just rising east of my turret as I wandered down from my second floor condo.

October is wondrous up in these parts; colors abound.

I found a seat on a bench in the appropriate area, lighting up a home-made cig when the castle door began opening and closing spewing out other hobbling goblins.

LIVE: SEND IN THE CLOWNS! A DEBATE ENSUES...

The election is only one year and  six weeks away for heaven sakes.

A man named Trump leads the GOP polls and just under this guy a man Named Carson appears.

Neither man has ever run for anything, except the first ran from his debts on several occasions whilst the other guy ran away from neurosurgery.

This reality show is way ahead of schedule and so are the cable stations attempting to cover this debate tonight because twenty two million folks viewed the last debate.

And Trump has not paid a dime in advertising. hahahhahah

So we shall send in the clowns.

A RANT ON DESPAIR

222

There are residents in my semi-resthome who can become happy with the help of their small dogs and parakeets; not all the time of course.

Just sometimes.

And an hour of happiness appears to trump 15 hours or more (assuming an ability to sleep) of depression.

There are no absolutes, except for death and grandchildren (if we are lucky).

PROGNOSTICATION

I awoke at 3AM and began playing on my PC.

Rather than closing a tab, I clicked the weather channel on my TV.

Weather approximations are given for each hour of the day.

Temp and wind and chances of rain....

6 AM seemed ominous.

I BE MAD AT GOD!

I have been viewing West Wing again. (Season 2, Ep 22)

In this episode Mrs. Landingham purchases a brand new car. And yet, as she drives this automobile home, she is killed when a drunk driver misses a light and runs right into this brand new car.

The episode goes retro and sends us to the fifties or sixties when President Bartlett is either in prep school or college. It was during his youth that our fictional President first met Mrs. Landingham.

LIBERTY AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

There are many evils in this world, the fact is that we are not always confronted by these evils--mostly because we wish to ignore these evils.

Lately the subject of ‘anchor babies’ has been discussed; every hour of every day; and every day of the week.

This subject has arisen many times before, but Trump has appeared on the horizon as a beacon shining light upon this subject.
