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 2^nd. 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 715^th. home run in San Francisco on Sunday, officially surpassing Babe Rush’s home run record, at least for 2^nd. 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"
