Checking In

This morning Thom Hartman was barely on and they switched to coverage of the Kings – Rangers ice hockey game. The Kings won 3 to 2 I believe. So it was Rush Limbaugh time. Nearly two hours of Rush Limbaugh is more torture than any man should have to take. It was like listening to the raving ramblings of a mental patient, like you know who in the “Cane Mutiny” movie at the court martial trial, twirling his ball bearings. Maybe he should put them back in his brain. Just to refresh your recollection he would string together all these free-form sentences or “ejaculations” if you will with absolutely no connection to each other and each one is based on the vaguest of imuendo to begin with. Rush was going on and on about “Citizen Kane” and how since he’s Black he’s a traitor to his race if he tries to better himself and instead of being in school and getting his business degree, and becoming one of the one percenters, he should have been out protesting. Because we all know the government wants to keep all Black people enslaved on Welfare and Social Security- - which are socialist experiments. He said that none of the people at the Wall Street protests “have never contributed a thing to American society or created any jobs” and they’re all leeches and paracites and idiots who don’t know why they are even there but they are being manipulated by some master-mind socialists in the Obama administration. And President Obama takes his marching orders from Sol Allinsky. I guess I’d like to know is what Rush Limbaugh has ever “built, or invented”. On the first caller of the day Rush took off on a mad rant. The caller had said “What if it turned out Justice Ginsburg had taken money from Move-on, the same way Clarence Thomas’ wife is in bed with the Heritage Foundation and all these other extremist groups?” Well Rush Limbaugh tagged him as a “seminar caller” and says that Justice Thomas doesn’t have a biased bone in his body and there are no grounds for impeachment. Then he took off on the governor of Pennsylvania and all manner of other cases nobody but he had even heard of. He’ll mention this really obscure stuff and then go “How come the Media isn’t calling this a conflict like they are with Clarence Thomas? He then went on to say that Obama wants to wreck the economy to “fulfill the socialist agenda” with this Jobs bill he is proposing, and how Obama should realize these Rich people are tired of the President raising their taxes and creating job uncertainty. He then began talking about regulations and the Obama Health Bill. Then he said “President Obama wants a quick Supreme Court ruling on health care so that he can portray himself as a Victim in next year’s election as an explanation of why the economy is so bad”. And he did mention the arrests in New York. Apparently the demonstrators wanted to march down Wall St itself, which apparently is never allowed. So the cops use their batons and pepper spray the protestors and just go nuts. And Rush mentioned being a fan of Weird Al Yankivick, which strikes me as strange. Another line I was going to use in the Walrus story is the one about God saying “You know, Voltaire had me pegged correctly. He said that I was a comedian playing to a straight house”.

Meanwhile on the commercial break we had the Holy Host of Sunday’s show talking about going through “different seasons” in life, and how you shouldn’t try to rush through them. The trouble is in Jesus land, to quote a famous person, “It’s winter there all the time, but it’s never Christmas”. You know, Christians are like people who listen to “All Things Must Pass” so many times the record becomes full of snags, such that it has become unplayable. So they repeat the same fragments that were once part of a message over and over ad nausium. (Selah) You know it was Chance Gardener who said “If the roots [of the economy] are strong, there will be growth in the spring”. But we know John Mc Cain was lying in September of 2008 when he said that the fundamentals of the economy were strong. Therefore it doesn’t matter when “Spring” arrives, nobody will be able to take advantage of it. This is how it is with people with a hex on their lives, either from their own doing, or from the actions of others. I would like to think I am entering some sort of “Spring” where a number of problems are behind me. Relations with females are still problematical, as witness that dream I had the other night”. No, the dream wasn’t reality but sometimes subconscious fears are just as bad. Do I even have what it takes to have a long, abiding relationship with a female that others in society would call “respectable”? You know that relations with you know who “In her high heel sneakers, and her low neck sweater” seem to be going south. And I have to say it. It isn’t her, it’s me. As I said previously she strikes me as a woman whose “looking for the man of her dreams” to quote another Mc Cartney song, and I know I’m not it. I don’t know. Maybe I’m still holding out for that Islamic pipe dream of 72 young virgins. I’m too conscious of my age.

OK this is John Kerry reporting for duty, Sir. The question is – has Dr. Levy completely checked out? Why wasn’t he here on Monday? Sara said over the PA that Dr. Levy would be here on Saturday. But Saturday is Yom Kippur according to Thom Hartman or something and what Jew is going to work on Yom Kippur? Again September in the three times we did meet were travelogue episodes. We talked about New York and Chicago two of the sessions and saw that Video taken in India on the other session. I did not post yesterday and might not post today. But at least I’ll compile material for a posting. There are typos that I need to note in that Walrus story. First of all there is a reference to Jim being a long man sitting on a bench, where I obviously meant to say a Lone man sitting on a bench. Reminiscent of that lone man sitting by himself when General Patton visited that hospital. And also I should have quoted the Walrus of saying “They ran out” (of oil) and I have “can”. Also there is one place near the end where I write “hour” when I meant “out”. And there are other bits I left out. For instance one time when God tells the Walrus “I want to talk about your one time brother” and the Walrus goes “Raymond?” And there is talk of Raymond dying of an aggressive brain tomer. And then the Walrus says, “It’s too bad he couldn’t have had a nice, passive docile tomer”. And then to guild the lily a little - I go on to say “I remember when I was just a little kid and Raymond would come to my bed side and sing me to sleep each might and he would sing “Lollypop” and he would make that popping sound real good”. Of course that exchange would be a parody of “Rain Man”. Then there is the whole question about whether a father would name his son after a candy bar. Not unless he regarded him as over-priced, a little nutty, and Donna Reed would not get along with him. But in defense of Donna Reed, I didn’t like coconuts either when I was a really little kid. It was an acquired taste. And another story I didn’t relate for the obvious reason that it didn’t happen. It’s just one of those stories circulating around the Federation. It goes when we were driving out here from Chicago in August of 1962 we stopped off and visited this certain family in Dallas with a bunch of girls of various ages. And - - well the Walrus is roomered to have made a really dumb remark to the oldest daughter, Debby. But he would have only been eight at the time and if it happened at all it was not on any occasion where I was present. We didn’t even go through Dallas. I have never been through Dallas. On both going to Chicago and from Chicago we went via the Colorado Rockies. When I went with Jim Cooper in late September of 1980 we went and stopped at Las Vegas briefly. And from that city Jim thought it would be better to take a more northerly rout hitting the Rockies. (By the way that’s the last time I’ve ever been to Las Vegas) And by the middle or later of October, the weather had cooled off considerably. So on the way back I wanted to go through Dallas but Jim didn’t want to. I kind of got the idea he had bad memories there. So we stayed on Rout 66 and went through Winslow, and Flagstaff and Kingman and all those cities.

We do want to pay our regards to Steve Jobs. I was thinking of calling a posting "Brrr!" it was sure cold yesterday. It was only twenty degrees or so below normal. And mention the recurring nature of the number 56 three times in our recent writings. But then "Brrr!" also adds up alphabetically to a 56 so maybe the weather was sending us a message yesterday. Since he’s died I’ve gotten about as many messages from him as I have from Jimmy Hoffa, which is zero, zip, nada. But I would like to think that before he died perhaps I was channeling just a little of his enlightened brilliance in my writings. I thought of another question. There is one person in the mafia who met an untimely death whom the Federation says “We have gotten much “deep background” information about the mafia from him”. Name me that lone individual the Federation was referring to. We’re going to do just one of the original three trivia questions I had planned. This one is easy. You can about look it up in Firefox. Kurt Cobain became a Romulan after he died. Who spent a number of months mentoring him and showing him around and also giving me a build up so that when I actually met him I was immediately put as ease? I’ll give you that answer but first here is one more question. Name me two more groups that are Bela Tagis IV rock groups. OK, that’s too hard. I’ll tell you. The Animals and the Rolling Stones are two good answers there. And the answer to our mystery question is John Lennon. Both John Lennon and Kurt Cobain have the original DNA of their avatars. They look identical to how they looked in life. I know, the whole "Avatar" thing seems a little whackazoid to most people.

I'm going to vastly shorten up and change this paragraph from that I previously elaborately planned out. You don't have the time. I'll just say that if our own Federation scenario were playing out accurately right now we would already be in a war with Iran. And after the war there would be a period of extended polution and civil liberties crisis in this country through the late thirties. At that time there would indeed be one of those "Revolutions" that Thom Hartman dreams about. In the early 2040's there would be a true - "Spiritual" revival in America and a lot of people would finally see the Truth about a lot of things. And there would be a Luke Skywalker hero character who in 2061 would be one of the first Starship captains of a ship with "warp capabilities' traveling faster than the speed of light. The whole "61" thing is kind of - - OK it's the year Ernest Hemmingway committed suicide and it's Hemingway. Sounds strange, doesn't it. But what I was going to talk about at length was the Federation contacting me - - after an extended hiatus, and it was to announce the pregnency and then birth of this wonder child in 2005. My response to Mal was,"Fool me once, shame on You; fool me twice, shame on Me".
