Hannity's America

Well, MR ought to be happy that I happened on this one. I agree that this country is the best country. I didn't like Hannity's approach to his guest. If you will not concede that this is the America is the best, I will have to get rough! Anyway, it was the typical ... if you don't agree with everything we say, then you are un-Patriotic, un-American, and siding with the terrorists. It was nice to be reminded that America donates the money money and supplies to other nations, often more is donated by citizens than by the country itself. It shows a defining character of many Americans.

Media complaint

The problem I have with the canned on-the-spot shows on networks (not just Fox) is that the guest is castrated and burned at the stake if they dare suggest a differing opinion. I'm waiting for "Blasphemer! Burn the witch at the stake!" or "Crucify him after feeding him to the lions after a painful gladiator battle!"

Is it possible that I have differing opinions?

Can I go on CNN and suggest that the war is progressing better than depicted?
Can I go on FOX and suggest that the parties are closer than they appear in the mirror?

I can, if I am willing to get tarred, feathered, and discredited as a cannibalistic psychotic with an undocumented decades-old delusion of grandeur. I would be falsely labeled as having communist and neo-nazi ties.

on finding that job

As well as the legitimate job offers, I weed through the dubious ones. The first step is, find the real company name, look on google for that name + scam. Most of them qualify for scam or MLM unachievable madness. First, build a client base by selling to family, friends, neighbors, your dog! Your fish sees the wonderful service and products your dog is getting and approaches you. Now you are a success because you don't have to market yourself. Then reality kicks in like an unwelcome guest and you remember that fish don't buy and dogs, faithful as they are, don't have cash.

Multi-level marketing, ah ... yes. It looks like a pyramid, smells like one, quacks like one -- I'm guessing pyramid regardless the protests. I am still looking, though the economy's downturn helps few people, especially those seeking jobs.

car porn


For those who love cars. Eww!

I haven't finished watching the movie

I sent it to a couple of other people. I will not mention it by name and it will inflame most people who watch it. It is damning on many levels. I will later found it's counter, then post links to both.

yoga stretching for the reaching some folks do

Don't drink soda while watching this video. You will either be angry and spit it, or laugh at the stupidity of it and send soda out your nose. I will answer the question, "Yes. This video should be banned."

Well, you can't learn without experiencing and sometimes reading.

I was watching a video that tried to emasculate Jesus. It attempted to liken Horus to Jesus. While it is sensationalism, it doesn't pan out too well when you start reading. While Wikipedia is not the perfect source for info, I believe that Horus, a war god, is not really the same as Jesus. Nice try though. I would call that a miss (strike).

To liken Jesus to Attis is as mad (crazy) as Attis was.
Krishna was joy, peace, seducer of girls. Again, uh ... not Jesus.

I think I'll stop here and drink the rest of my tea.

If I were to buy into this guy's load a unholy cow patties; I could still look at in a more pragmatic way.
If the explanations of parts of Jesus were the amalgumation of lots of Pagan principles, but ... you wanted to convert animal and human sacrificing groups into a safer, peace-loving Christian lot, wouldn't you liken Jesus in parts to their deities?

Heck, I would! I don't find it wrong to have, what I consider useless traditions, being strangely similar to Pagan rituals. I don't practice them, but see you had to sway infidels with mild, however stupid concessions. In the end, non-essential traditions notwithstanding, believing in God, and moreover Jesus isn't a bad thing.

It is a disservice to liken Jesus to a war god or a seducer of girls, or many other god incarnations. I am sure that stronger Christian believers will be more than angered and incessenced at this video, but ... I am disappointed that this little sketchy bit of puke will get people to think, "Yeah ... dat's da ticket. It was all just a coverup, or lie, or something like dat."

If you are a Christian and a thinker, this video should do little but wonder if the freedom of speech shouldn't have limits. You thought smut videographers were the problem, how about hate and deception mass media? Next up, how about Hale Bop and the Nazi Scientologist poly-theist polygamists? No, not a music group.

Stamp it 'bat shit crazy'.

so moved

While the word, "love" is overly used, I can sometimes hear it or read it with the feeling behind it. "I love chocolate", fascinating, but a sad waste of feeling and meaningful word. "I love her" or "I love him", sometimes really like a whole lot. Every now and then, "I love him", slowly creeping from the lips, fog rolling covering the floor to waist-high in cool-soothing texture.

"I love ..." sweet floral scents bash the senses, making you dumb to all but the hit it drives into you. Yes, unlike a fighter's pain from punches, it is sustaining, powerful, but not painful. It is a beauty to watch, feel, and almost certainly magic. Can you explain a couple's song playing at the right moment? Can you explain clouds covering the moon so that a couple embrace in darkness and secret?

Love, spoken truly doesn't have to be clear to anyone but the listener. Sometimes, if you cleanly pay attention and listen, you can hear and feel love. It isn't just an empty word, no promises, no continuity. It can be "I love you", and the world is shown changing eroding, reforming and back again. Days pass in seconds and love remains. That is love! Love doesn't happen over a day, and true love lasts beyond the mere life of a person.

She moved me. I felt "love", more than heard the words. L-O-V-E, soft, special, powerful, moving.

hard to watch and not be moved

I skimmed through channels last night. I saw part of a documentary, "The Falling Man" after watching, "Secrets of 9/11". Well, the "Secrets of 9/11" wasn't so much Washington Monument; straight and mostly pointed. It was rather leaning like the Tower of Pisa.

-- bitching alert:
TV listings. You can get a TiVo, you can search through 2 months in advance to find tv shows and movies, but you can't damn well find something that they aired three days ago. The problem is, I only think I know what channel: National Geographic. Filth and foul!+ Curse, curse, curse!
-- bitching done

Anyway, the Secrets show had a small problem that most of the country has with what Bush did. Now, I am not much of a Bush defender. I actually have to note that many people point out that Bush was "doing nothing" for 45-minutes after the first plane smashed into the tower. OK. So, put yourself as President sitting in an elementary school as you scheduled. Some disaster hits, the depth of it, uncertain. Should you jet out of the classroom, setting many into a panic as young students might be prone to panic? I'm not sure if what he did was right, but I speculated possible thinking.

Do you consider the thought that it was, very likely, an isolated jet hitting the tower that many people were lost, but the tower would remain standing. I find the latter to be more likely. I don't blame his staying there rather than the prompt, "sorry kids ... America isn't safe anymore; terrorists are attacking us with our own planes."

Anyway ... that documentary had some interesting bits, but still was leaning and doing some blaming.

The next show, "Falling Man" was originally shown in 2007. I didn't see it then, and couldn't watch it all. It was difficult to watch the towers being struck and worse, people jumping to their deaths. There were several people who fell that day, photographers got many of them. A grieving widower was interviewed and had woefully accepted the likelihood that his wife leaped to her death as she was found on the street.

I would suppose that I would jump the hundred some stories too, rather than cook before suffocating. Few times have so many people (mass) had to opt for death by grisly means, none of which pleasant.

I watched some and was moved ... I wished it were a bit faster so that I could get through the end, rather than drag out my emotions a bit more.

Do you expect me to talk?


No, James Emo (Bond). I expect you to cry.

Pennsylvania's ruling on

Intelligent Scam. I won't bother detailing anything on Intelligent Design vs Evolution. Instead, the case should have pointed out that the producers and publishers of the books used in Intelligent Design were likely more interested in using that as a money-making project. Therein lies their passion -- money. I am sure that they probably believe in Intelligent Design, but it seems odd that they wiggle around things and pop out books that they deny having money for them -- don't know from where the money came.

So my take is, they push I.D. into being taught in the classrooms. They previous put together books to sell to the school system(s). If more schools started teaching, they would reap in cash. The case is a case of greed wrapped around a serious topic that people debate.

When you have liars say, "if only we had books", then viola! Books arrive. The books that "could be used" just happen to be available for sale by these two guys. How remarkable and too coincidental.

not jokes, sadly, but about lawyers

A judge in New York has to sue to get a pay raise. He has to sue other lawyers. Huh.

Another judge orders petty lawyers to use a child's game to settle an argument. I think what we have here is complete evidence that there are:
too many lawyers,
too much legislation on everyone else, not enough on lawyers

If you are a lawyer, be offended. Take this as a way to clean up your own coven of personnel. We might very well have more lawyers than military. Hell, use them! How many tears will be shed when divorce lawyers and criminal defendant (F. Lee Bailey) lawyers, ambulance chasers die by the tens or hundreds?

They would post a number of dead lawyers and I don't think the news viewers would use it as a "crying shame" that our service personnel are dying at a phenomenal rate, which they aren't.

I would like to hear, "The President has approved of the lawyer draft" for our commitment in the Arab region including Afghanistan, Iraq, and other areas. These unarmed lawyers will be essential in the use of cleaning America with the additional benefit of perhaps making an unarmed difference in the Arab world. Go G.I. Bureaucracy!

At some point, I died

invitation to abusers

So, let me check this off here. You are going to pay adults with minimum education, minimum pay for the privilege of working with difficult children. The employee might have to use tactics and restraints on the children. Huh. I wonder if there will be some child abusers or pedophiles apply for this job well-suited for them.

I wonder. I wonder if this place PAID better for MORE QUALIFIED applicants if the place might be better. I suspect arrests and lawsuits in the future for this company. Despite its history of 125 years as listed, I wonder how many times they get lucky enough to find a financially well-off person will to dedicate her/his life to this noble cause. I'm guessing few.

In return, you get children who need security and stability, while the qualifications and pay ensure high turnover rates. Bad, bad, bad idea. [Bop on the nose with the newspaper]
