Thumbs Down on Liberals, Too

You know, I’m starting to get fed up with liberals too. Today Randy Rhodes was going on and on about some affair of her own imagining between George Bush and Congelisa Rice. She was saying the reason why Laura is never with him is because their relationship is strained. Randy then went on to whitewash Bill Clinton saying the suit filed by Paula Jones was without merit. There is still this mad Rush to defend Clinton.

Personally I don’t want Hillary Clinton running whether or not she sucks up to the right wing as Rush has been charging. We know what she’s going to be once she gets in office. They’ll be passing politically correct speech laws right and left like these fascistic regulations they have on college campuses. And Hillary is just too “angry” to hold the office of President. Rush moved out of New York because the tax rates are too high and lots of people in the Northeast have been “voting with their feet”. Although judging by how hot it is in this room now with no AC I don’t see the mad attraction to moving to a state like Florida which is so flat that it will be underwater after a few years of polar ice cap melting. It’s kind of like if you’re moving down there, “You’ve been warned”.

Of course California is on the verge of passing another minimum wage hike. I think the national rate is $5.50. The state wide rate is $6.75 and they want to raise that to $7.75 and then index that rate to inflation, which of course will be going up. I think you’re going to hear that famous Giant Sucking Sound of jobs leaving the state and going elsewhere. The only people that will want to move Into this area are illegal aliens. Not only will the Senate bill increase the illegal alien problem by twenty billion, but also now they want to unionize the illegals so that you’ll have to pay them ten dollars an hour or higher. That’s what you call going from the frying pan into the fire. The one upside to the situation the way it now is is that you get a better product at a low price, but now all that may change. We can’t have a minimum wage two dollars higher than other states.

I’m glad I’m a Republican. That way I don’t have to choose between a polluter and law violator, or just a garden variety political crook. Swartzenegger has the right idea, which is to invest in infrastructure like roads and bridges and levies. We don’t need some giant new pre school proposition 82. I think the election in November is going to be the biggest land slide for Swartzenegger we’ve ever seen.

Today is June 2nd. On this date in 1969 I went to Al Kaders’ group therapy for the first time. But first I toured Good Will courtesy Vocational Re-hab. After all the tests they put me through the best they could come up was Good Will working for seventy five cents an hour. I had said that one of my goals was to get a girlfriend. Let me tell you about my first semester in college. As you know in the fall of 1968 I attended night school. But one thing I noticed about college girls almost immediately was that they were a lot less approachable than high school girls. This semester stands out in my mind in this instance. Of course the girls there at group therapy were so ugly I needn’t have bothered asking. That same night I took my psychology final- - and I believe I failed the whole course but I don’t remember why now.

It was around June first 2005 that Valerie at Green Harbor made the statement that she thought all mentally ill people should be sterilized. And she pointed out she had never been diagnosed as being mentally ill but she was diagnosed with everything else in the book. And there are still times I wonder whether she wasn’t a trans-sexual. Not one time did she ever wear shorts or any kind of skimpy top to show off her figure, if she had one. She talked about being into leather and mechanics. Despite all the young guys throwing themselves at her the only guy she was interested in was a 69 year old Black man who used a walker. And we know how Valerie bragged about her German extraction. You know I was going to do “June first” throughout other years in my life but I’d end up boring myself and anybody who would be reading this.

If gasoline prices were really that high now this wouldn’t be the biggest travel season since prior to nine eleven. People just love to complain, that’s all. People are riding high, economically. Gasoline was seventy cents per gallon in 1974 and if you translated it to today’s dollars people tell me it would be between $3.50 and four dollars per gallon. People are buying S U V’s like they’re going out of style. They say that a gas station makes more on the twelve ounce cup of coffee you buy than the twelve gallons of gasoline you buy. Trying to cast blame on oil companies may also be pointless. Switching to wind or solar power appears as unlikely, now or in any foreseeable future, appears about as likely as being struck by lightning. People just don’t care about conservation when you come down to it. If solar was “the way to go”, we would have switched over in the sixties when they first talked about solar panels. That’s my opinion.

My prediction for Days of our Lives will be that Chelsea gets off with virtually no punishment of any sort and that she continues to cause trouble between Bo and Hope, if they’re even together. I predict that the trial we’ve been waiting five months for won’t last five days, and that the prosecution will screw up bad beyond belief, Hope’s testimony will cave into nothing - and I predict Sean won’t be allowed to testify at all

I advise you people to read "Rocca Rolla" if you're curious what I mean when I make reference to the "Federation". "Alcion" or "Alcyonne", oddly is referred to as "The Axis" of the Universe. It "regulates" everything that goes on. When you think about it- - if you're praying for better karma, don't pray to God; pray to the Devil. He's the one in controle of that sort of stuff. The devil likes to play games. He wants to make sure that you're "Worthy".

The Federation has announced that Howard has now been removed from power as of Sunday night. A lot of us could see it coming. Alcion has mended its fences with the Centaurians and just the threat of a possible alliance drove the Federation into panic and they removed Howard from leadership. There are still troops loyal to Howard continuing to battle the centaurians and the Federation says it would be impractical to go after all of them now to stop them. Howard has basically been banished to some isolated location. Mal Evans has been concerned about him and has tried to get in touch but to no avail. Of course everyone thought we were winning the battle against the Centaurians and even people today say we have made great progress; it’s only the Future which looks bleak.

The US really is fighting “kinder and gentler wars” than it used to. Rush points out that Roosevelt goaded Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor because it withheld trade suddenly for needed supplies. Unlike President Bush, who’s worried about the deaths of 24 civilians, the US and England carpet-bombed Germany for years and years and set off fire storms in places like Dresden. Roosevelt’s only “off limits” were the Jewish death camps. Those couldn’t be interfered with. Roosevelt turned back boatloads of fleeing Jews. Of course Roosevelt wanted to nuke Kyoto, Japan merely for its shock value at the loss of culture. Roosevelt “gave away the farm” at Yalta. Despite Roosevelt’s best efforts the Great Depression went down as one of the worst economic disasters ever and we didn’t come out of it till 1940. Of course Roosevelt wanted to pack the Supreme Court. You know all about that. There’s no question that Lincoln and Roosevelt were the two biggest war mongers we’ve ever had as presidents. They didn’t merely lead us into war- - they reveled in it. Supposedly in targeting German civilians to bomb we were “paying back measure per measure” what they did to England. If I’ve got my facts right they bombed England for a few months in late 1940. We bombed Germany for years on end. By the way- - France underwent very little destruction from the Nazis. But I’ve heard when Roosevelt was asked about “collateral damage” in bombing the French people he said something like “It’s really an issue not worth bringing up. Let the generals bomb whatever they want”. Today France seems closer to Germany than it does to the United States. Is Europe “ungrateful” for all our help in World War II?

Last night was the national spelling bee. Never have I heard so many obscure, foreign words. There should be some sort of regulation about foreign words. Most of the words were words I’d never heard of and had foreign “entomologies”. They started off the evening with thirteen and got down to one. There were words from Greek and Latin, but also such places as Persia and Turkey and ancient Assyria. One girl was bumped but then the committee realized they’d made a mistake and reinstated her. At one point the count was six boys and six girls. A girl won for the first time since 1999 with a Germanic sounding “urbensproche” or something. We had the show on most of the evening but I dialed away briefly to watch a few minutes of The Office marathon.

Washington DC and New York have had their terrorist 9-11 budgets cut by forty percent. Places like Wyoming, where Dick Chaney lives are getting more.

In terms of that immigration bill, Rush is right; we can’t have that thing pass. Now they say if we pass that bill twenty million more illegal aliens will enter this country. One female’s Christian pastor said that we have a “moral right” to allow breaking the law because we’ve always winked at regulations in the past and it would be wrong to change our minds now. The thing is, all those angry Republicans with their right wing grass roots are going to get those same people reelected in November.

I Read the News Today, Oh Boy!

I’ve been looking for some breaking “Killer Story” to blog. It’s kind of hard to say what the next big story will be. We have the killing of 24 Iraqis including children by those marines. James “Car-vile” commented on that case today. But as long as they don’t screw it up and prosecute like they’re supposed to I imagine the public will forget about this incident. It seems Angelitas and Wesley are tied neck and neck in the polls but why anyone would vote for either of these candidates after seeing their ads is beyond me. Angelites is a violator of the environment and Wesley is an old fashioned crook. I haven’t made my mind whom I’m going to vote for on my Republican ballot in terms of all the rest of the offices.

They say the “granny movement” is back. Paul Mc Cartney was criticized by Lennon for writing “Granny music” but if anything Paul was just the follower of an established trend. I think it started with the song “Lady Gadiva” back in November of 1966. And this was followed by “Winchester Cathedral”, “Hello, Hello” “Words of Love” by the Mamas & Papas- - and “Acapulco Gold”, “Feeling Groovy”, “Your Auntie Gazelda” by the Monkees (a song left off of both Best of albums) and “Cool, Calm Collected” and “Something Happened to me Yesterday” by the Rolling stones. None of these songs made my picks list, but they are still songs of historical note. In terms of art you had the paisley patterns and also those glass lamp things. Actually the term for a lot of that early Hippy look was Art Novae, which I read in a Time-Life book. Now they say this early 1900’s look is back. “- - - Groovy!”

It was twenty years ago that Newsweek announced in an article that women over forty had a better chance of being abducted by a terrorist than of getting married. Now they say that trend is no longer true, it was just an anti-feminist roomer. Women don’t just have a biological clock; they have a biological time-bomb. Let’s face it- when they hit the late forties and approach memopause their looks go- -they can’t reproduce and if my sex ed teacher is right, their libido goes out the window. If I were a woman I’d protest Mother Nature, because nature plays a dirty trick on them. If they’ve lived by their looks their whole life once they hit the down-hill side of 45 they have a rude awakening. But now everything’s cool. Women can be happy in whatever state they find themselves.

Earlier today I did a fantasy blog on John Lennon. It’s the type of thing I used to send through snail mail. Here's two more clues for you all. The book John put out in late spring of 1965 was called "A Spaniard in the works" (spanner - wrench) Also, the letters spelled out in flags on the HELP isn't HELP but N U J V, standing for "New Unknown John Vocalist" I’m meaning to test Billy Shears to see if it shows up on blog search. Now they are featuring speed dial up with Call Wave, up to six times faster. That would be great if it were true because that would mean I could get the fastest audio streams. Even three times as fast would get me the 128 kbps streams. But that’s not what it is.

Randy Rhodes was on. She had a guest till 3:30 I’d heard before but the second part after 3:30 was new. It was saying George Bush is pshchologically unsound because his sister died when he was seven and the family didn’t even have a funeral. His parents went golfing instead. Barbra Bush was a hard, distant woman and his father was never around. No longer he turned to booze and drugs. He stuck fire crackers up the anuses of frogs and lit them. He branded the buttox’s of new fraternity initiates at skull and bones with a coat hanger. It is said many of the prison torture things at Abo Grave were “homo-erotic”. I really don’t give a lot of credente to that “shrink” stuff. They’ll say anything about anybody.

They have announced that diet soda may be bad for your health is you use them in a mixed drink because your body needs the glucose and will try harder to process the alcohol to get the glucose- if there is no sugar in the drink.

I’m wearing that white flag shirt and the jeans I just got out of the drawer. Today just might be the day I decide to quit smoking. I can’t say; I’ve already had two and there are fourteen in the pack now. Last night I went out for cigarettes about seven twenty and also got a snack. I basically am in a position now where I can’t withdraw any more money. What I don’t know is if the phone company ever cashed that check, and if they didn’t why not?

Last night was Ebert and Roper and stuff that seemed like a rerun. Sixty Minutes had those two New York cops accused of working with the Mafia. Then I switched to America’s Funniest Home Videos. The Simpsons at eight was a rerun. King of the Hill was on at 8:30 talking about the “hate crime” of burning down a church with a lady pastor. Married with Children was on at nine. During this time I was also developing a fantasy idea for my next blog.

Sam Hornish won the Indy 500 yesterday. Michael Andretti took the lead in the race with just five laps to go. But then his son, Marco Andretti passed him and took over the lead with a couple laps. But then, feet from the checkered flag, in the 2nd. closest race of all time, Sam Hornish passed Marco and was the Indianapolis 500 race winner for 2006, winning by six one hundredths of a second.

Barry Bonds hit his 715th. home run in San Francisco on Sunday, officially surpassing Babe Rush’s home run record, at least for 2nd. place. He’ll have to hit another forty or so to pass Hank Aaron. The guy who caught the ball was outside the stadium in a line to buy beer, and just got lucky, hearing the cheers.

There was the saga of a paraplegic who was climbing Mt. Everest and the other hikers left him stranded. On a previous climb he had been rescued but got frost bite in his limbs and they had to be amputated. This time they thought they left him for dead but today they say some Austrailians came for him.

There has been a bad earthquake in Indonesia and now the people are clamoring to get govt. aid to them more quickly. You don’t suppose people have “raised expectations” now, do you? Hospitals were already on alert because that volcano on the island is showing signs of erupting and spiritists are trying to send “good vibes” to the volcano. It was six point three on the rictor scale.

Twenty four civilians were gunned down in Iraq by our troops and the incident is going to be investigated. Even the Republicans in the house want to. Of course today Bush is laying a wreath on the Unknown Soldier. Some people are saying this “massacre” may be even worse than Abo-grave in terms of poll numbers.

Once again our civil liberties are being threatened by the political correctness people on college campuses. Now sexual harassment consists of “making the other person feel uncomfortable” with remarks or whatever or unauthorized hugging or “serial brushing” as Rush talks about. Merely giving the title of a book you’re going to be speaking of “Getting blacks off the Plantation” or whatever, is considered offencive speech. Having Christian groups meet on campus is illegal. In other cases two little girls sharing caffeine gun is a prosecutable offence. That’s just like the case of the boy who had his butter knife conthiscated he used to spread cream cheese on his bagel with. If Hillary were president this rules would be nation wide. At four o clock Ken talked more about the illegal alien problem.

. Last night the Da Vinci code was on again on KNBC, prior to Las Vegas. Before this it was game shows. “Deal or No Deal” was not on all week. I have Mark and Marc on right now. I have debated writing Dateline but I guess I won’t. For a correction, Jesus had a daughter and not a son and her name was Sarah and she was about twelve in AD 44 when that ship of relatives pulled into the south of France. There was a line from the Gospel of Philip about Jesus kissing Mary on the mouth, but the word “mouth” is missing. These scrolls which were found "recently" of course have been lying there a long time without being copied or maintained.

"Life is a temperal phenominon.
It occurs "in time".
Death refers to things that are not living.
Hence death is not temporal.
The words "eternal" and "life"
used in the same sentense is self contradictory"

The One And Only Billy Shears

The following is a Fractured Tale by Winston O Boogie

Once there was a bus driver named Mark David Chapman. Mark wanted to prove he was special so told people he could outdo Jesus's walking on water by driving his school bus on water. So one day he took a busload of school kids and headed off on the surface of the water. But then he began to "double think" and had a lapse in faith and the bus began to sink. Mark jumped out the window and swam to shore where he was arrested by the authorites for impersonating a Christian on a warrent of outstanding charges they'd had for years. The bus was washed ashore and the kids escaped to an island and then the bus sank.

Meanwhile on another part of Planet Algore, Eddie, of Eddie and the Crusers was feeling low on the evening of 9 - 11 (11 - 9 for those of you in America) and one night drove his car off a pier in New Jersey and the driver and car sank to the bottom of the sea. But then Eddie was rescued by an octipus that gave him mouth to mouth and he revived. He then got into another car and drove down the turn pike and ended up in California, and when Eddie got out for a pit stop, the car turned into a golden winged ship where this formerly crippled girl was chasing it all the way to heaven. Suddenly Eddie's memory began to fade and he couldn't remember where he was or who he was. Three days later he took on the identity of one Billy Shears who was a student at Falcon Crest Jr. High taking nineth grade Spanish class learning phrases such as "A la salida de la escuela" and "Una conversacion por telefono".

Meanwhile in a place known as the overworld- - the gods were gleefully accepting all the offerings offered to them by their patrons. Billy Shears would do homage to each and every god making sure he didn't miss one. But in his zeal he had forgotten one god, and that was the god of boredom. Soon the god of boredom began to feel weak and sick due to mal-nurishment. The god of boredom's favorite pasttime was rolling colored marbles down a gridwork of ruts. There would be varied ruts and at times they would criss-cross each other and at times, if he put just the right spin on a marble he could get the marble to switch from one rut to another rut. But as the god of boredom grew in poorer health all of the ruts somehow became more shallow such that the marbles were in danger of coming out of the ruts. This is what happened with two particular green marbles. The god of boredom saw this happen- - but since the green marbles looked alike he didn't know which was which.

There is another story about how Billy Shears came to be. Some say that his mother had an affair with a sailor from Eugene, Oregon who was stationed in San Francisco aboard the SS Cain. The name of the sailor was Tommy. He looked all white but his wad was black. And it's believed that Billy was the product of their "fornacation".

One day in early February of 1965, only a couple months after the forgoing events- - Billy Shears and John Lennon swapped identities. John Lennon was now a ninth grader and Billy Shears was now a Beatle. Lennon was told that the nickname of the entity he was to enter was called Strawberry by a member of the Federation. Another person, who didn't know as much said that Lennon would take the identity of a red-haired girl wearing a green blouse. Since John was still attracted to girls he was worried by this till he got home and looked in the mirror and saw not a red haired girl but a guy of racial identity shall we say- - a little closser to the equator than he was used to being. At that moment he longed to see his wife and kid in the mirror behind him telling him he was great, but he knew that wasn't going to happen. John said, "It's this whole Spanish thing that has my mind messed up".

Meanwhile the other John Lennon was watching his wife and son frolock on the living room rug and he had the thought "Is this my family or what?" Then there was word from a music producer that they would be starting work in their second film at the end of the month and the producer was saying "I hope you're ready for some good action sequences". George Harrison chimed in. "We don't want stunt men, we want to do all our own stunts". Then Billy Shears said, "I hope there's a lot of under water sequences" and added, "And I've even come up with a good name for the movie- - Kelp". The others wern't so hot on that. Then Billy had another name- - "Eight Arms to Hold You". The other Beatle Mates liked that idea, but not the idea of octipuses. Paul said, "John, can't you think of another meaning of Eight Arms to Hold You? You're so good at double-meanings. John looked at Paul blankly and then said "No". Then Ringo said "Well there are four of us with two arms each and two times four makes eight, right?" John said, "Oh- - - you know I haven't been too good at math lately. I think I've bot a B 12 deficiency since my parents stopped buying steaks so often". Then it was announced it was time for them to record a sound track. "Goody!" John exclaims. They recorded eleven songs that mid February. But they still needed a title song.

Meanwhile the cosmic force shifted again and once again the god of boredom had trouble deciding which green marble belonged on which track. Suddenly Billy was back at Falcoln Crest Jr. High. This school had experimented with something called Flexible Scheduling. "That's what I'm on now. Flexable scheduling. I can cut out whenever I like. Actually Flexable Scheduling was started by the same people who later worked for Enron. They helped the executives schedule airline flights so they could get out of town in a hurry.

Meanwhile the other John wrote and sang "Help" in April of 1965. "Excuse me if the song is a bit to auto-biographical. I'm just not feeling very creative these days".

When it came time to do the concert at Chey stadium the god of boredom looked down at the statium in New York and a cold chill went over his heart. It was kind of like the same feeling that Cathy had in Wuthering Heights just after marrying Edger. "No doubt about it. We have got to do another switcheroo". Actually, from February of 1965 to February 1968 the fake Billy Shears performed all but six beatles songs that they recorded during this period. The only six the feal John Lennon performed were "Help", "Nowhere Man" "In My Life", "You know my Name look up my number", "Baby You're a Rich Man" and "All You Need is Love". And so this flip-flop of identities went on and on.

One day Billy Shears got inspired to write a song about the strawberry fields he used to pass on his daily trek to Falcon Crest Jr. High school. Did he dream it or was it real. "It doesn't matter much to me", he said in a resigned tone.

In early 1967 Billy Shears got to suggest to Ringo and Paul that his real name be used on a Beatle song. "I think this song would sound good done in Johnny Manthis style" Billy said. The other Beatle Mates did not agree. - - One day Billy was watching the colored marbles go around and picked up a blue margle and looked through it. He saw a blong haired blue eyed boy in a blue & gold striped shirt about five years old ripping the arms of a Superman toy and he suggested to George Martin a backwards message to put in Sgt. Pepper. "How about something like - Well, f--k You Superman!" . "Roger", George responded. "Roger?- - do you know Roger? I know Rodger. Is he in England?" "You're getting ahead of yourself" George responded. Billy abruptly turned around "Where? Where is the rest of me?" Then Billy placed the blue marble back on the track- - but where he placed it was a down-grade and it rolled hard and didn't make the next corner and rolled off the board and onto the concrete where it hit a saxophone and rolled on into an overheated swimming pool, where nobody seemed inclined to fish it out. "I wonder what will happen", Billy said.

In the late spring of 1967 the real John was looking feeling "the change" was about to come again and he saw Billy Shears coming his way, but now Billy had turned into a Walrus!

After Brian Epstein died, John and Billy met again. He looked at Billy and said "I am he as you are me and we are all together", and then reached in his pocket and pulled out fifty cents, American, as if to pay somebody. "Why did you do that?" "I don't know". Billy was now haistly jotting down notes. Billy was the kind of guy who liked to observe everything. Later he met with Paul and Paul told Billy some of his ideas for the band now that Brian Epstein was gone. "Those are good ideas; I like them" Billy said. And added, "Besides this band needs a leader now that Brian is no longer with us". Paul looked at Billy kind of strange.

In February of 1968 the Beatles conveined to record a few songs such as "She Can Talk To Me", and "Accross the Universe", which Billy sang. This would be the last time he would sing with the Beatles. Just then the god of boredom tapped Billy on the shoulder and said, "I'm afraid your time has run its course. Behold what you will look like when you are fifty-five. You're lucky to be alive if you're over fifty-five". Billy looked at how fat he had become and he said. "Gees Louise I'm big. I love it! Being heavy is great. By the way what's that nice suit I've got on". The god of boredom said "That's by Bobby Hill clothiers. They're a little outfit out of Arlen, Texas. Behold I want to tell you a story now as to why you need to go back. "No, I want to go to India with the Beatles and expand my mind with the maharishi", Billy said. "Oh no you don't." said the god of boredom. Let me tell you a story. Once there was an island filled with school kids. They were on the verge of starving to death but then a bunch of them got scared by a pig in a cave. Then a little girl named Lisa noticed that the pig was being sustained by some slime the grew on the rocks and the little girl said, "If the slime can support the wild boar, it can support us. We're saved!" Billy then said, "Why not just kill and eat the pig". "You gain wisdom, my child" said the guardian god of boredom. And behold the one who pigs out on glory will have to be as a sacrifice to the gods one day. And if you want to excape here with your life you won't be that Pig that is sacrificed. Capish?" After this Billy Shears slunk off into the darkness and never did anything interesting again.

Da Vinci Code Update

This is Saturday mid day overcast May 27th. 2006. Last night as you know they again aired the Da Vinci Code special on Dateline. Basically if you're going to deny all of the evidence you almost have to believe in a "vast conspiracy" of your own. Detractors say the Pierre De Sion never really existed; that it was "invented" in the 1950's. You have to forget about the whole history of the south of France dating from 1100 AD or so. You have to forget that recounting of the family of Jesus, ie. Mary Magdolane and her twelve year old daughter, Sarah, coming ashore on a boat in the year AD 44. And you have to assume all those "lists" that appeared in that French library were all bogus. You have to believe all those geniologies of obscure people mixed in with a few famous people was just made up. Of course you also have to come up with another version of all the Holy Grail stories. Perhaps you think there was a magic golden challice that had supernatural powers. You see, I have it on authority that in the case of that Priest in Renes le Chateau, Sonierre- - that his money that he mysteriously acquired was not through "Simony" of the selling of a mass. It's possible that all the major "clues" might be bogus, but you have to admit the more evidence there is, the more you have to "deny".

Here are a couple more clues. In the story of the death of Lazarus there is a reference to Mary and Martha, Lazarus's sisters, being in mourning and Martha came out and met Jesus but Mary continued in mourning in the house. It's called "sitting Shiva" and is something Jews do. And the only legitamate reason for breaking the "sitting Shiva" is if you are commanded to do so by your husband. So I believe Jesus as her husband commanded her to desist. There is another clue in the book of Jeremiah somewhere about Isrial being preserved by a "tender young shoot" (from a Cypress or other evergreen tree) being transported to a far land. The person I heard this from said "shoot" was in the feminine gender meaning we were talking about a female. We have a twelve year old girl named Sarah. There is also a Historian in the early 2nd. century who mentions that "relatives of Jesus" were threatened by some new anti religious law, but then they appealed to Emperor dometian, who, after hearing who they were, give them liberty to go. So this whole "Jesus line" has links to Rome. Of course many say that Jesus himself was the child of Mary and a Roman centurian named Pantera. There is also that line in John chapter eight, I believe, where the priests out of the blue say "We were not born of fornacation" in an argument with Jesus. They seem to be hinting maybe Jesus was. There is that mysterious document that states that Pilate made a secret deal with Joseph of Arithmea and Nicodimus- to take Jesus' body down from the cross early. We have discussed this one before. What we do know was that Pilate's wife and perhaps Pilate himself became a Christian soon after his crusi-fiction. We know Pilate inscribed "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" over the cross. This is the "crime" that he was being put to death for, being "King of the Jews". (Selah)

In all probability the United States will reject the premise of both Holy Blood Holy Grail and also the Da Vinci Code. But what about the rest of the world? There are a lot of superstitious Catholics in the rest of the world looking for any form of "signs". We in this country were raised with a certain kind of liberal Protestantism. What this means is that it's our mindset that if he claims that it can be proved it has to be bogus. You might reduce it to "The more lacking in actual provability or substance it is- - the more credibility it has. It comes from this liberal protestant belief that "God can't be proved" and it's a matter of "faith". Because of this if you come up with any physical manifestation or "evidence" to make your point it has to be wrong because it's a matter of "Faith" that "things of the Spirit" cannot be proved. Basically, you're supposed to live your whole life never knowing whether your religion is valid or not. You get your "payoff" for your "faith" after you Die. And then and only then will "it all make sense". Any religion that perports to offer "proofs" is called a "radical" religion. Any religion that says you should alter your life style is also branded as a "radical" religion. The only "tried and true" and "main stream" (hence- "safe") religion is one where you believe certain things about the trinity and go to church and pray- - as long as it's not about anything important.

I don't want to beat a dead horse. We've covered much of this material before but I thought it appropiate that I re-state it, combined with the things we haven't mentioned before. In other news Microsoft is doing Beta II tests on Vista and Office 2007. It seems the previous tests haven't gone very well and it may be some time before either product is released. We've been making these blog posts shorter because there seem to be fewer things to say.

Leo Le Port says if you put electronic information in a fifty year time capsule that won't be opened till the year 2056 you won't be able to count on anything being compatable. Fifty years ago in 1956 we did not have CD's, we did not have cassettes, we did not have eight tracks. In this day and age even CD's are becomming out-moded. I guess many people are complaining they have to keep transferring their favorite albums from LP, to tape, to CD, to MP3. Of course some in the record industry would love it if you paid them each time you did that.

Mia Copa Time

Those two Enron guys, Jeff Schilling and Ken Lay were convicted by a jury yesterday of all the stuff they were charged with. A third man got a reduced sentence because he cooperated with the prosecution. I guess “Jeff” was supposed to be so charismatic that many experts thought he’d sway the court to his side. Justice was done. Some people are so convinced they are right they are constitutionally unable to “come clean” even if it would help them. If it were me I wouldn’t have made any deals at all. They can “repent” in prison. (Selah)

George Bush and Tony Blair are now both saying the rhetoric leading up to the Iraq war may have been overblown. Most specifically George Bush regrets uttering the words “Bring it on!” when talking about Osama and terrorists. It would seem to me that to admit any mistake of substance would have implications about our future foreign policy. As I see it he has no choice but to say he was perfect.

There is a lot of talk about going solar to save energy bills. But when I hear someone say they cut their electric bill to fifty dollars a month I need to remember that I paid between about thirty and forty five dollars for two months back when I had my own apartment. If you sink thousands of dollars into a new house like that case in Sacramento- - and who knows how many thousand for solar panels- - you begin to wonder just when your investment is going to pay for itself. At the rate I was paying for power back in my apartment, it would take a long time. In Germany the government subsidizes solar panels. You make a trade-off from green house gas pollution to visual pollution because those panels take up the whole roof. I guess I’m kind of wondering whether the panels are damaged by weather.

Judge Milian on the Peoples’ Court yesterday said something I don’t agree with. If a friend smashes up your motorcycle you’ve owned for three years- - you aren’t entitled to a new motorcycle even if it’s totaled. You have to take three years sales depreciation off the price. That doesn’t seem fair. I’d always heard if you damaged the property of a neighbor you had to replace it with a new whatever it was. That was just part of the price you paid of being a criminal.

This whole bit about eliminating all “sexist” reference to parental terms like Mom and Dad in text books for school children- - is just part of the sick bill to indoctrinate children into homosexuality. As you know this California bill that has been passed by the Democratic legislature will mandate that all the accomplishments of gay people be highlighted in text books. As World Net Daily accurately points out- - I thought this is a country where you were commended for what you did, rather than what you were. Apparently if it’s being gay- - that trumps everything because gayness must be promoted at all cost. Who’s sick idea is it to indoctrinate the State’s school children into a life of homosexuality. Who’s idea is this active recruiting into an abnormal and deviate life style? As I said a couple says ago I think the people of California should actively work for the defeat of each and every democrat who voted for that bill. We can hope and pray that Arnold Swartzenegger vetoes this bill. I think he’s a level headed man and sees the utter perversion of this bill. The whole idea seems to be to tear down the family structure. They say now that only fifty percent of the people are against gay marriage. I find that alarming the figure has shrunk to just half. If Christians want to pray about something, pray about this.

We were speculating yesterday what would happen if they were to announce the death of Rev. Chuck Smith. Of course there would be an outpouring of grief and tribute and remembrance. I think in some ways the worst thing for Christianity may be for Chuck Smith to stay alive till age 95 and just fade away to outdated obscurity. That would be a nightmare for him. Even twenty years ago Chuck kept talking about “getting old” though I find he’s about ten years younger than I thought he was. He has been “getting old” in his messages talking about the world his grand-children will live in. I imagine those grandchildren are all grown up by now anyhow and now he’s worried about his great grandchildren.

In the Bible sin offerings are ritualized sacrifices targeted for the removal of curses. The Bible teaches that what you sow so shall you wreep. I have at times in my life plagued by the idea like Sammy Brady on Days of our Lives that I must some how lived a wicked past life and that the iniquity of that life has carried over to this one. In the olden times your local Priests to whom you made the sacrifice would tell you what your sin was when he saw the manifest “iniquity” in your life situation. I have often thought it’s too bad we don’t have that today. There seems no way today to “come clean” and “make a fresh start”. Nobody cares. Most notably Christian pastors don’t want to touch the situation with a ten foot pole. The best you can do now is just Praise the Lord for everything that happens in your life, ever envoking Romans 8:28 and continue on as if the Lord were forever fulfilling your fondest desires just like Chuck Smith and others always talk about.

Medical Breakthroughs

There have been so many medical breakthroughs lately. Now they are installing an artificial disk in a young woman who's own spinal disk had degenerated badly. She could not attend weddings and dance and do all the things she used to do till she had disk surgery where she was given an artificial disk that made her an inch taller. There's the girl who had her leg amputated but then had her ankle bone and nerves attatched at the knee and had the ankle joint facing backwards so it looked just like a knee. Now she can play soccer and other athletic activities with her artificial knee that used to be her ankle. Now they have discovered that botox could be a cure for depression. Apparently from what they say it paralyzes the facial muscles that prodoce frowning and this lack of ability somehow sends an impulse to the brain not to be depressed. It doesn't make sense to me but they tell me that it works. Now they have a vaccine for the human papaloma virus that causes cervical cancer in women. They have isolated the vaccine and it's now been approved by the FDA for giving to girls as young as nine as a preventative before they become sexually active. They say giving it to nine year old girls is the way for the vaccine to be most effective. They even want to give the vaccine to boys because boys are carriers of the virus. Of course Rush Limbaugh had cocliar implants so that he can hear. Rush was stone deaf for a while but since this meracle surgery now he can hear again, but I think only the very rich can afford it. Of course there's the French woman who had a face transplant so that now she has a new face. The only thing is she looks a little like Terry Shibo with muscles in her lips still inopperative. But the woman considers it a breakthrough. Of course quadrupple bypass surgery goes on all the time and people such as radio host Michal Jackson come out good as new. All the time they are improving odds of organ transplants to insure against rejection. They're making progress all the time on that substance that keeps the body from matabalizing fats, so that now if you eat too many potato chips the worse that will happen to you is you get sick because the body can't digest the substance. Lots of promise is held out for stem cell research in such areas as spinal cord regeneration. They are closing more advanced species of animals all the time. It's good to hear good news on the air.

FLIPPING THE REST OF US THE BIRD

It seems that congress, and notibly the Senate and the President are completely out of touch with the American public on the subject of illegal immigration. The people are against the broad giving of amnesty by the President and the Senate bill. If they want to arrest and deport them all I say "Try it and see if it works". I think if that solution worked someone would have tried it by now. The whole point of the bill is to offer a "realistic solution". I think they could refuse to pay out Social Securety or FICA payments to these people when they're retired or disabeled. Perhaps you could use this money as leverage. Say you'll pay them the money they've accrewed if they move back to Mexico. That to me seems quite fair.

Also there's the case of this congressman, William Jefferson, whose office was raided by the FBI with a perfectly legal search warrent. But members of Congress from both parties are all upset about this incursion of the "Executive branch" into the affairs of congress. I wish these congressmen would get real. There is no "inherent right to commit a crime" in the constitution.

I get bugged that my blogs don't get more comments from others while I look at other blogs and they get comments. What I should do is plug my own blogs in their comments section. On the subject of religion I become more aware that nobody wants to have a rational discussion on the subject. Even people who debate the subject of Athiesum are totally "out to lunch" on the topic. Many bloggers engage in what to me is minutia discussing the offences of our government and our President. I am less confident the democrats will even win in 2006 than I was a month or two ago. I think there is still enough redneck hysteria out there in middle America to keep this congress around a little longer. Look at the charges Wesley and Angelites are lodging against each other. You know that Swartzenegger is going to be the big winner in that election.

I'm having trouble getting this blog to post. I'll try again.

Momentus Times

I haven't blogged in a while. May 24th. is the anniversary of a number of events. It's Bob Dylan's birthday in 1941. On 1976 on this date I was living at the Palm St. house and some fortune tellers wanted to take over our house. They wanted us to let them have that house and we would move to some house further back in the tract. In those days my brother and a friend of his (we aren't using names) were very spiritual and were looking for any "leading of the Lord" even if it was a bogus one. I always thought the idea was unreasonable and stupid and rationality won out. This date is mentioned in the some Vera Gemini by Blue Oyster Cult, and it's also mentioned in "Lakeside Park" by Rush about watching the fireworks display on the 24th. of May.

It was on this day in 1967, a Wednesday that relations with a girl, Kathy, of Italian extraction, took a turn for the better. I had known her for at least two months because I remember we and this couple she knew, talking about whether we saw the total eclipse of the Moon, which took place the morning after Easter. (That's not supposed to occur) It was also on this week in 1967 that I heard my first Sgt. Pepper songs. First I heard "She's Leaving Home" and I remember thinking for some reason it sounded like the Beach Boys. Then I heard "Lucy in the Sky". It was the following Monday afternoon May 29th. 1967 that the radio waves were awash with songs from the album. It was that Monday night that I wrote down all my guesses of who would win the Presidency for every year on out to but not including 2008. I've been thinking about that recently. I predicted Nixon and Reagan would be elected President and Vice President in 1868. This is an odd prediction since I was a flaming liberal at the time. Then I predicted Bobby Kennedy would be elected in 1976 and serve one term. My brother this evening was busily recording new Beatles songs from the album. The weather during all of this period was overcast. As you may know Andy Granitelli had his gas turbine engine out and Parnelli Jones raced in the Incy 500 and lost to A J Foyt because his engine conked out.

This is Wednesday May 24, 2006 and for the second day in a row the sun actually is shining this morning. When good news is rare it gets reported. You know there’s that lyric from a Ringo song, “I looked in the mirror; I saw my wife and kids- and you know what they tell me- I’m great”. You hear these songs where people look back and see their teenage years as negative and awkward and now that they’re older and more successful they look back on all the concerns they had when they were younger of “Am I attractive enough” and all that as “Silly”. Well- all the negative concerns I had thirty five or forty years are all real. It’s only the positive stuff that seems “Silly”. Things like “growth in the Lord” and “maturing” and being a father or perhaps a grandfather by now- -and establishing who the Lord wants me to be in life. That seems “Silly” because it never happened- - along with other things like the Rapture, which never happened. There was always this idea when I was in my twenties that “the good would become more manifest” kind of like the parable of the wheat and the tares. It would be obvious who was a Christian because they would be the ones that were blessed. Well, none of that ever happened for me. Even as little as ten years ago I held out more hope for myself than I do now. Things were more hopeful even then. What you learn to do now is the art of living with inevitable death. That’s where we’re all going to end up. I was just looking in the mirror last night and my right eye was facing out. It used to face in when I was a child. Either way it shows something abnormal in my neurological constitution.

Well it’s official. Oil companies are gauging us. They are doing it in two days. The oil companies are setting up mandentory price zones for gasoline distribution where any dealer is forbidden to charge a price below a certain amount in a given neighborhood. Also in places like Chicago oil companies are deliberately not delivering gasoline to certain places so that prices will be jacked up. Nobody said whether either of these two practices are illegal. Also oil inventories are at an eight year high. There is no gasoline shortage. Perhaps oil companies could take their windfall oil profits and build new refineries with them, but I guess that would be self-defeating. They’d have to spend money and when they got done they wouldn’t be able to charge as much for the gasoline because there would be more of it. They said the national price average was $2.88 but I heard it was actually more like $3.35 per gallon of regular & higher for premium.

Osama Bin Laden has sent a new tape to the media. In it he says Zechariahs Masaui had nothing to do with 9 – 11. You kind of get the idea that capturing Bin Laden is about as unlikely as finding Jimmy Hoffa’s body on that horse farm near Detroit. It’s one of those bar room conversations people have- of things that will never happen.

They may have come across the first human to human transmission of bird flu in a family in Indonesia where the whole family came down with the disease. Of course the whole family has been around live poultry, still authorities are worried. The question is could we ever have a scenario like in that TV movie. To me it seems entirely possible that we could- given the severity of the threat. People say future scenarios never happen but sometimes they do. We should be prepaired.

This is Katie Kuric’s last week doing the Today show before she moves to CBS and that Millionaire lady- - Marideth (?) – fills the void on the today show.

We need to pay a tribute to Mike Wallace. He’s been a media professional since 1941 but his parents wanted him to be a lawyer and he played the violin as a child. He of course bounced all around the radio and early TV media before finding his nitch in the 1960’s, he says after his nineteen year old son died. He is noted for using phrases such as “Come on!” and “Look- - - “ and “Forgive me for asking but- - - “ The thing last night almost spoke of him as if he were dead. I had on Randy Rhodes this afternoon and she spoke of how the federal governments to legislate against free news reporting, and she reminded her viewers of the Pentagon Papers case in 1971. At noon I had Ed Shultz on but I’m afraid I slept through that. I didn’t take my vitamins today.

This last paragraph was typed Monday. I was going to talk a little about Christian myrters. Well let's just say that people like Ignatius aren't very comon today. He wrote letters just before he died in about AD 110 filled with every plattitude and Bible NT reference in the book. He made wanting to be martyred seems like the most normal thing in the world. He obviously seemed fermiliar with all of St. Paul's letters treating them as if they were scripture. Of course some people like in that Stephen King movie get killed and they don't have a choice, they're just victims. What I'm kind of thinking is that St. Paul believed the Lord was coming back in his life time and people were content to "wait for the Kingdom" then. But after the first generation of apostles died people grew impatient and somehow wanted to speed the process along. It's also a fact that a "general persecution" of Christian martyrs didn't take place till 204 AD or something instituted by Emperor Decius (?) Those people were willing to give their lives for their Faith but today moderns Christians won't cross the street to help somebody.

Rush to Excellence

Greetings to our blog readers. Today we have a slightly different format for you. I hope like our previous eight blogs you will find this one interesting and stimulating. I see my purpose as to further enlightenment of the internet reading public

Rush says that the whole scientific “model” for global warming is falling apart and that polar ice is not melting. I don’t know who to believe. Of course they have said that between 1850 and 1950 the temperature of the earth rose about a degree and a half but since then it has been flat and thirty years ago people were talking about a coming ice age. It was pointed out that we may between “ice ages” now in our cycle. Of course last fall the temperature of the Gulf of Mexico at ninety or higher was seven or eight degrees above normal, so we can infer at that time the temperature of the earth was seven or eight degrees above normal. People are expecting a hurricane season not quite as bad as the last one. Rush added his criticism to Al Gore’s new film on global warming. But ex President Bill Clinton is now supporting the Gore movie.

Apparently attendance at the Da Vinci code movie has shattered all records on a world wide basis. So much for what the “critics” think. Gross of the movie was 79 million or something and enough to make it number one at the box office for this past weekend. It would seem the film may be more popular in Europe than here. At any rate it would seem that the Da Vinci Code is a force to be reckoned with.

People may wonder if Christianity were ever a murderous religion. Well, in the first place a lot of people were burned at the stake for hericy. As Jesus puts it, ‘If you dial up a phone number and it isn’t the exact right number the call won’t go through, and this is how it is with religion”. A co-equal three person trinity is an intrigal part of “having the right number” and all Mormons and Jehovah’s witnesses are consigned to Hell in the next life. In the Bible Ananias and Saphirah were struck dead for lying to Peter for not turning over all their property to the church. Their rule used to be, “From each according to his ability; to each according to his need”. I think the Catholic Church got off of that philosophy a little over the years. Chuck Smith has often told stories about people who came against him or the church being struck dead mysteriously. I think Christians love to implant fear in people of being struck dead should they cross “God” in any way. Personally I’m not a bit afraid of that. I will continue to blog away.

Assuming I put more songs listing on the next blog I want to state they will be “second tier” songs and of an inferior quality to the ones already out on blogs. It’s just that these are the songs I grew up with and more important to me personally. I plan to make a number of song substitutions, two or three or four per CD’s worth, just for logistical reasons. I hope they don’t suspect me of Spam like they did last week. OK "Vol. Five" listed has three substitutions from the original. "Deep Cover" has two substitutions, and "Lleps Eth Esrever' started off at 23 songs and we upgraded to 25 and five songs were dropped and seven songs were added.
