Religion Touches the Sociopath

It wasn't my Catholic Pope that came to the rescue. I think it was that strongly worded Christian letter composed by A.G. Session's Methodist Church. In my humble estimation, the Methodist Church holds a greater claim to Christ's teachings than anything the so-called Christian Evangelicals could ever have. It was beautiful and majestic and from that point on, nothing would stop the taming of the President. Kudos to his wife, Melania, and daughter Ivanka for getting through to the hard-headed one; but, to Mr. Trump himself I say, get yourself a little angel on one of your shoulders. Let it be your daughter or your wife or let it be the Methodist Church's elders. At this point in your presidency and barring any damning evidence from Mr. Mueller, you can survive if you are willing to accept the value of empathy in your life. Abandon empathy and you abandon the greatness that has been sent your way. The Devil, Mr. President, has too much of your ear. I don't know mu...

In Defence of Harvey and other Horacio Hornblowers

I don't want to defend Harvey Weinstein for such wealthy asswipes couldn't give a gnat's ass about the rest of us. However, if what I suspect might be true, I must defend him against the cold pussies of the world that we've all encountered along the horniness of life. What's up with Horatio Hornblower? That's just my wife's nickname for me whenever I took advantage of her good nature. I think two types of women entered Harvey's lair thinking their talents were paramount and not in need of a paramour. One was a non-heterosexual woman, the other was an asexual one. Harvey, to his chagrin, was not capable of recognizing either. Let us first recognize a heterosexual sexpot; one in the form of Gweneth Paltrow. Why is it that she didn't resort to throwing Harvey under the bus? The answer is that heterosexual women are either bemused, seduced or annoyed by men's advances and, most importantly, know how to "nip it in the bud" when it was un...

Of what Use is an AR-15?

 Support the U.S. Military Industrial Congressional Complex. Under constant threat of annihilation by libertarian elements, they have struggled to compete in a world of $130 AR-15's. Intimidation of others; even friends, relatives, neighbors, spouse. However, not authorities--10 assault weapons to your one is foolhardy. Defending against an attack by Velociraptors. Making the statement that a micropenis is no longer an embarrassment.  Re-invigorating our present wars and ensuring that those down the pike have an ending. Prove Senator Rubio correct when he said that his constituents buy into his agenda. I only wish Rubio would tell us and Parkland H.S. what the advantages are of buying oneself an AR-15. Restoring our constitutional democracy to where it was before Antonin Scalia gave person status to corporations. The last one is a valid use but only in fantasies that take us back to 1776 when King George eschewed camouflage and hadn't yet conceived of drones in his...

Media Observer 1/31/2018 AM

I forgot to mention Stephanie Ruhle and Velshi. For anything money-related, they're the best. Morning Joe does have Steve Rattner who also tells it like it is succinctly. Rep Joe Kennedy III's speech got short shrift, imho. I personally hung on his every word. The Presidents SOTU speech, in retrospect, seemed to be orchestrated. I've never seen so much clapping almost with every sentence uttered. That the President lives off applause was apparent by the way he himself applauds to encourage more applause and the way he turned to the Dems to ask them to applaud because he had said something they should like. Mr. Brokaw on Hallie Jackson passed a comment that U.S. residents speaking Spanish irked English speakers. That may be so but it must be understood (I speak as a bilingual) that Spanish is an easy language to learn and to speak. Going to English--at least for a first generation resident--is like being forced to use a backhoe when a spade would do. That is, English is ...

   The most significant exciting story I heard today was that Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, and Morgan Chase have decided to come up with a not-for-profit health plan. Alleluia! This is actually what the country needs--to get rid of the profit margin in healthcare. It's what Senator Bernie Sanders wanted when he proposed "single-payer." It is unfortunate, however, that it will take a while to set up--even as proof of concept--for Congress to see its merits.     The President's speech patterns came up at today's shows. What everyone fails to understand is that Trump is not a reader. This means that he can't polish his deliver because he hasn't been exposed to edited novel variations only found in printed media. He may be dyslexic. Note how unnatural his teleprompter readings sounds. [please see my other blog on his sociopathy]     It was mentioned that attendees at SOTU were warned to behave. That's why I'm watching--I want to see someone call him ...
