Monday/Tuesday (the end of June)
. . . . .No one gets it, unless you work the kind of job like I do, how difficult it is to be and stay isolated for weeks at a time. It's not like there's no contact with the outside world, but it's the sheer limitation of that, only phone calls, TV, the internet and the same people and the almost tease of being in some true contact.
. . . .In a lot of ways, everyone thinks the job is exciting, but you have to have a certain mentality to get through the day, to get through your time, and I don't think everyone has it.
. . . . The tease is watching the rest of the world. Ships in the shipping lanes, other platforms, helos.
. . . . .I"m gonna start a Dead Pool - the rules; the names you have to pick can only be celebrities between 50 and 60 years old that no one is expecting to die. That automatically leaves out Joan Rivers and Keith Richards, both of whom are immortal and will be the only two people on Earth, besides the cockroaches, to survive a Nuclear Holocaust, or an outbreak of Solanum and the attendant Zombie takeover.
. . . .OK, let's go over the rules again.
(1) Fox News - Prime offender. They aren't a "news" station, nor are they "newscasters" of any sort. We live in a capitalist, media driven economy. They are a branch of News Corp. just like their sister stations, FX Network and Fox TV. They are as dependent on ratings to keep their audiences, so they can get advertisers to pay their salaries. They are entertainers and actors, that's all, and very, very highly paid ones at that. They are owned by Rupert Murdoch, who is Australian by birth, and more importantly, a sworn business enemy of George Soros. Their playing field, their battleground is your mind. They don't respect you, they don't care about you. You are a number, and they are counting on you to be one of their sheeple and buy their advertised products and their line of bullshit.
(2) Their cast of entertainers and actors is (a) far wealthier than you, (b) more educated then you and went to a better college and (c) based in New York City. By definition then, they are the "wealthy East Coast elite". By definition, then they are the "mainstream media" they rail against.
(3) They outright lie, and they have an agenda. The examples are numerous, all you have to is read this column, all you have to do is catch yourself up on the last 10, or 15, or 20 or so columns, all below, to find example after example. Glenn Beck lies, Bill O'Reilly lies & Sean Hannity lies. Ann Coulter lies, Michelle Malkin lies. They're not patriots, they are the farthest thing from it.
All definitions from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary
- Traitor - One who commits treason
- Treason - The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the state to which the offender owes allegiance
- Sedition - Incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.
. . .It is pure and simple logic. Put two and two together for yourself, stop letting the media think for you, and start doing some research into fact. Idiots like Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and O'Reilly are laughing at "the rubes" behind their backs, snickering at them. Fact, the truth and logic are the only things that will defeat the efforts they're making to see you fail. Yes, you. They want the country to fail, they want you to fail, and you, your kids and your grandkids to fail. And they want to continue to get rich, off of you.
- Scheuer tonight on Beck's show - "The only chance we have as a country right now" is for bin Laden to "detonate a major weapon in the U.S."
- FactCheck.org, here's where to check the lies and distortions that Limbaugh and Fox News spread in an attempt to bring the government down.
- OpenSecrets.org, here's where you can track the money that owns your Representatives and Senators. It's not you, and they don't work for you. They work for the lobbyists and special interests that have enough money to buy them.
- OpenCongress.org, here's where you can track a bill, any bill that has gone through, is working it's way through, is still in committee in either the House or the Senate. Here's where you get the truth, not the distortions that the conservative media consistently lays out on you.
(4) The duly elected President of the United States is an American-born citizen, the Supreme Court of the United States, a conservative court installed by George W. Bush, the same court that ruled to put Bush in office, read the birth certificate and declared it. The President of the United States was elected by due Constitutional process in an overwhelming public majority and mandate and an overwhelming electoral majority.
(5) The best one. The President of the United States does not have a vote. He does not enact or pass laws. That would be the Congress; the House of Representatives and the Senate. They vote, they enact laws. They are the ones who are working on legislation for health care, bailouts and stimulus packages, bailouts and stimulus packages and do the voting.
. . . Good example, right here, in The Hill. It's been more than a month since the President signed into law the bill that Congress passed to create a commission to investigate the roots of the financial crisis (see below, it's actually a pretty clear cut path). Democratic and Republican leaders have yet to nominate one single person to the commission.
. . . .I said it yesterday, I reference a lot of rock and roll music, TV and movies here in this column. It's for a reason, the images and impressions that are in our minds from a movie scene, a good TV show, a great song are far more long-lasting then anything a politician has ever said.
. . . .By the way, a tip here during these hard times. If you're using a debit card at the gas pump, you're screwing yourself, big time. Gas stations, when a debit card is swiped, have no idea how much gas you're going to pump. So, the agreement between the gas stations and your debit card holder is that they place anywhere from $100 to $150 dollar hold on your card, and that true amount that you put in doesn't get posted until the gas station sends in their batch transactions, sometimes up to 3 days later. If your account is low, it's a good way to bounce transactions and cost yourself even more in overdraft fees. If your debit card is a Visa or Master Card backed debit, use the the credit option, it's immediate and it's for the exact fee.
. . . .So Madoff gets 150 year sentence, at 71 years old, which will be appealed. He pleaded guilty and had no trial, and accepted the sentence. His wife paid the lawyer in cash, up front. The bulk of the money is missing. Anyone other than me think there's a lot more here other than the kids and wife have the cash and are hiding it? Knowing the feds are watching them? And always will be watching them? AS in there's someone, or more than one someone who's really far back in the shadows on this one that had enough leverage to convince Madoff to take the fall, keep quiet and finish out the rest of his life in jail?
. . . .But more so, why is Joseph Cassano of AIG's London office being allowed to walk around a free man when he bilked the 5 largest banks in the world out of $50 billion dollars in one day and punched an unhealable hole in the fabric of the universe? Yes, that was back in late summer of '08, and precipitated the financial crisis that the Bush White House put this country in and walked out and left the incoming President with. It was the Bush White House that de-regulated even further the Reagan's signing of Garn-St. Germain over 30 years ago that laid the groundwork for this entire bubble to pop and fail.
. . . . . .I can betcha that real quick now, Michael Jackson will be spotted at the Burger King in Kalamazoo, Michigan on West Michigan and Stadium that Elvis and Tupac have been spotted at for years. Jeesus, what people will focus on in order to avoid the real world.
. . . .Over at The Daily Beast, a good one, about 5 important things you missed over the weekend that occurred in Iran, a country that is at most 1 year away from being nuclear capable while you were busy either obessessing over Michael Jackson's death, or busy trying to diss it to prove how much you didn't like him. Either way, it's a waste of time, and a takeaway from the real world, and a country of people who were attempting to overthrow their hardline government, while everyone was busy, the vote recount got trashed, and the government cracked down even harder on the protestors, killed more people.
. . . .My personal favorite right now, when a member of the above-mentioned conservative media says the President should "do something" about Iran. This, when the best neoconservative Middle East experts, and the leading Senate Middle Eastern and foreign affairs expert, Senator John McCain all say that he's handling it perfectly and doing the right things.
. . . .Hey! Great mirth and dancing! Norm Coleman was finally told what a loser he was by the Minnesota Supreme Court and got sent home. Franken will be seated. It only took 8 months for the courts to make a decision on a political process that was decided by the people and the votes of Minnesota.
. . . Outta here, for now
. . . .Kiss your kids, tell the ones you love out loud that you do. This rodeo is a one-way ticket,and no one gets out alive, so it's not about yesterday or tomorrow, it's not about regret or guilt, it's not about hopes and wishes. It's about right damn here, right damn now. This ain't a dress rehearsal. Go change yourself, go change your own world and the world changes around you. This is the the sound and the words or me changing my own life. What have you done for yourself lately?
. . . . .Got your back
