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...

The Commercial--is there anything more Heinous?

The commercial used to be fun or, at least, it did a good job of alerting you to that which was novel and happily "consumable."  Now, the only novelty is a treatment for a disease that someone else has, making the product unwanted except in one's nightmares. Back in the day, cereals were desired by all. Cars were every man's desire but I would like to point out the idiocy of the Range Rover commercial where the driver becomes overjoyed at having reached the top of the course clearly telling us that there was some doubt that the Range Rover would make it. I've been listening to Dr. Lederman's commercials for years (my apologies if I spell his name wrong but I don't think he merits the Googling effort). You see, Dr. Lederman has this fat-ass coffer that allows him to buy days worth of advertising on WOR radio. He's triple board certified and can "hit the cancer" with his non-invasive radio surgery. What a douchbag! He's not a total douc...

The Simian Mechanic Comes to the Aid of the MIC

It was inevitable, actually. A monkey wrench had to be thrown into any semblance of peace that Donald Trump may have wished to perpetrate. The wrench was subtle but it worked. It was simply a phrase subject to interpretation like "Yanny and Laurel--" it was, "the Libyan model," and Kim Jung Un fell for it like Bastard Bolton knew he would. My message to Mr. Un is this, Libya had oil. Your nation is poor in natural resources. You are NOT the Libyan model and what you do have, no one can take away from you--that keen Korean intellect that can build atomic bombs and the missiles to carry them. That alone will bring Mr Trump to the bargaining table, and you must ignore American cancers like Mr. Bolton.¹ There  are only a few hotspots around the world that the MIC (military inductrial complex) and supporting jingoists like to call home: Iran and North Korea. If you eliminate these, what are you left with? Cuba's impotent; China, Russia, and Pakistan have the bomb...

Paul Ryan or Saul Ryan?

I Tweeted to the Pope a while ago that Mr. Paul Ryan should be excommunicated. Perhaps the Pope realized the seriousness of the agenda of this ersatz Catholic and decided to write him a letter. In any event, fast forward to today and we hear on CNN that Mr. Ryan had fired the Congressional Chaplain, a Jesuit just like the Pope. The pretext was that the Chaplain had lobbied for the poor in one of his sermons. That cooked his goose for nothing irks the average Republican member of congress more than to have to consider the needs of the poor or of the minorities. But lets consider Mr Ryan's admonition to the Chaplain to stay out of politics and stop advocating for the poor. This shows us that Mr. Ryan is devoid of compassion and severely lacking in knowledge of Constitutional law. The former deficit demands excommunication, the latter demands that Mr. Ryan refrain from ever again representing any U.S. citizen. The basis for his action against the Catholic Chaplain is, of course, t...

Erin's Got Heart

I saw it tonight, the lady loves truth and fairness. I would even venture to say that she's got so much heart that she could find it in her being to defend the indefensible--ay, Trumpie himself benefits from her sense of justice and fairplay. Tonight we saw Erin with "big hair," and the way she stroked her locks almost said--in moments of insanity on my part--that she cared about me. Such is Erin. The way she signed off, although lacking in Bri's natural warmth nevertheless revealed her honesty and a sincere desire to reach out to her viewers as if to say, "join me in seeking the truth even though I am not Solomon and do not profess to be able to always spot the "apple." I fell in love with Erin when she went to Cuba and when she went to a less war-torn part of the Middle East.Those times were like seeing an Angel walking the Earth; but, in those times that she went to cover tragedies, I was in anquish that her beauty could do nothing to assuage hum...

Proof Positive that Goldman Sachs consists of Sociopaths and Other Immoral, Unethical, and Inhumane Bastards

Image
Normally, I'd just add this to my other blogs but this story is deserving of it's own space. This Article clearly shows how Goldman Sachs manipulates our economy--indeed, our very lives for the sake of sticking it to the little guy. Read it, and be disdainful of Wall St and its operatives; that is, if your heart is in the right place. [a 2 minute read]

Zuckerberg Proves It, Most of the "Berg" Remains Below Water.

Police Brutality I don't know how long lynching held sway in our Nation and It's too depressing to google but I know the answer, we all know the answer--it hasn't stopped. Oh, the methods are different but the end result is that those in power get to take lives willy-nilly. Other than having the majority of U.S. residents become True Christians or the equivalent in other religions, it is incumbent on those of us who care about these things to look for solutions. The police body cam was proposed and is seeing some use, if only to also see some sabotage in it's use; i.e., "mute it." What I now propose is not a perfect fix; some may even have valid objections. I would predict that these objections would come from those with a higher liberal standard. I propose that policemen be supplied with clips containing ammunition that consists of different grades of lethality. Let' say a clip can contain 10 rounds or bullets, load that clip with rubber bullets tha...

Musings: China, Pruitt, Feta Cheese

Culinary I was turned off to Feta because of its high salt content but I gave another brand, Mevgal Authentic Greek, a try. It's very different. They put it in a weak brine and it tastes smooth and delicious--I'm hooked on Feta. POTUS Yesterday, I was saying that I'd pay for Secretary Pruitt's  hunting trip with Cheney; but now, I'm thinking, what if as Session's replacement, he eliminates the Federal pot laws--after all, they're stopping many a "budding" entrepreneur. China: you go, Trumpie, hit them with your best shot--100B--yeah. Not only will you make America frugal again but you'll bankrupt Bezos at the same time while saving the forests from the Amazon boxes. I'm not kidding, it's a good thing. I didn't think you could do it without Bannon but apparently he's indelibly and chaotically engrained beneath that windswept mane of yours. Media Chalian breaks character and it took Mudd to get him to do it. Mudd was us...

Bravo, Mr. Trump (My Saint), for giving it to the Stock Market

Image
[May Youtube and all victims recover quickly; my prayers are with a truly great company and it's employees] Note to CNN: Mr. Mudd is all you need in the way of outside expert. POTUS As many of you know, I don't like everything Mr. Trump does (Big spender PRUITT at top of my disdain list) but readers of this blog also know that I consider Wall St the devil incarnate. Amazon To be clear, I like the convenience of Amazon but what kind of people do we become when possibly the only source of exercise is taken away from us--going to the store. Soon, even groceries will be brought to our doorstep. I would love for the MSM to run poll asking if the public is aware of the pyramid scheme and the zero-sum game that is our beloved financial institution. I'm convinced that few would know of the devil that is in the details. The reader need only consider that dirtbags like Mr. Zuckerburg (don't let him tell you that he's acting out of SEC regulations) can't wait to ...

Herr Drumpf, Citizen and Budding Chess-player.

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights~ Napoleon That quote is very true if only when you consider that we must pick our battles (our interests) because there is only so much time to pursue relatively inconsequential battles, and with that, I hope it can apply to the gun control movement--i.e., will those who support the 2nd Amendment put their concerns on the back burner because their interests--the lives of their children--far exceed their wish to fire various guns? I think there is resolute evidence for that; just note that there were indeed massive teenager protests but for every one there, there were parents giving their permission. For those adults without children to worry about, they can worry about they themselves being killed at a movie or a concert. On a Margaret Brennen show (FTN), Emma Gonzalez said that the Parkland group preferred to focus on the issues rather than the candidates. I don't know what her thinking is but if the NRA can give ...

Congrats To Putin: the Flip Side.

Quick! note on previous post. I don't have any objections to how much the U.S. Government decides to pay its employees in salary and even retirement benefits; however allowing them to retire at age 50 at sizable fractions of their regular salary is nothing short of freewheeling on the part of Uncle Sam. The FBI, according to the present director, only accepts 5% of applicants. The draw may be service to country or sweet compensation. One is noble and the other self-serving but neither should merit the right to retire with partial salary unless disabled on the job. It just borders on the reason many revolutions are fought. They are ought against the privileged. If I have and you have, there is no reason to fight other than greed. If bureaucrats (including defense and law enforcement) want to ride "high on the hog," they and we should ask that it be Federal law that whatever benefit is granted to the Federally-employed, also be granted to the rest of us. Not to level th...

McCabe: Poster Child for Government Largess

At first I thought McCabe was being targeted unfairly; then, I learned that he was retiring at age 50 with a $55,000 yearly pension. Then I learned that the man had a net worth of 11 million dollars. Over the course of 15 years--the time between his retirement at age 50 and the time the rest of us schmucks are allowed to retire--he would increase his wealth by $825,000. Why do we tolerate this largess for our public officials? These sobs at the top of the FBI are incapable of differentiating between the Mafia and inside traders and counterfeiters--and people like those of Ruby Ridge or Waco. They were powerful enough to erase the latter from existence; the former are still with us. Have they kept us safe from foreign actors and from our own country? I bring your attention to 911 and the Parkland Shooter and I ask them to answer for why they should be able to retire at 50; BTW, only to keep on making money in the private sector which they invariably will do. I see them all the time on...

Musings: Protests, POTUS, Media

Image
Protests   A message that Teenagers may prevail in exerting their right be safe. We spend billions on protecting our shores from oft nebulous bogeymen; yet the very real domestic killer is allowed to riddle us with bullets with absurd absolute abandon sanctioned by those who swore to uphold our Constitution while leaving out "...establish Justice...," and "...ensure domestic Tranquility..." Is it a just society when we allow the mowing down of our children. Have they done anything other than maintain for us troubled and anxious lives? Anti-kudos to Sayreville, New Jersey for threatening to expel any student that leaves in order to take part in gun protests. One girl had the courage to resist that authoritarianism that is so prevalent in New Jersey's schools. I'm guessing they'd be more tolerant if New Jersey were to find itself another statistic? That scenario is unlikely being that, post Columbine, N.J. was one of the first state...

Musings: Astronomy, Stormy, POTUS

Image
            This photo NASA calls a dramatic view of Dione, a Saturnine moon. Was it photo shopped? Where are the stars, if not? POTUS Mr. Trump pulled another one of his fast ones by reneging on his proposal to raise the age of purchasing a gun to 21. What this tells me is that Mr. Trump, in his second bid, will either be in need of a few extra bucks or or in need of votes from NRA members and assorted supporters. The first, I don't believe--even the Koch brothers benefited from the tax plan to the tune of a billion and, certainly, they alone could provide all the funds the President needs to run again. The second is also incredulous because whom would they vote for instead of Mr. Trump--a Democrat? So what caused the turnaround? Either the President is a moron as Tillerson has said, or the NRA has something on the President and is threatening to use it against him. Looks like the teenagers have their work cut out fo...

Russian Meddling and North Korean Tic-Tac-Toe

North Korean Tic-Tac-Toe I could  blame Mr. Trump for backtracking on the North Korea invitation but it's really our State Department and Congress that's to blame. These bureaucrats and career politicians only know one game, Tic-Tac-Toe, and we know that once you learn that game, you'll soon see that whosoever goes firts will either win or result in a draw if the opponent also knows the game well. Naturally, our State Department wants to go first. Never mind that their meddling has brought us to the brink of nuclear war. We had detente with the North Koreans until W. Bush listened to his state department and backtracked. As Americans, we need to remind ourselves of the constant wars and the failure to protect our ambassadors perpetrated by the State Department. It sickens me that the MSM is now suggesting that Korea has more to gain than the U.S. Really? We are willing to risk mayhem here in the states and on the Korean peninsula? The jingoists here are quick to tell yo...

AR-15: Searching for the Allure and Other Musings

My previous piece on the AR-15 left me wanting . There was something missing from my usual Second Amendment position. I have come up with three additional possibilities for the allure of the AR-15 not covered in my previous blogs. None of them, IMHO, have merit; nevertheless I do not condemn those who may harbor unreasonable and oft irrational fears. The first no leader can hope to assuage. I hypothesize that my fellow Americans may want the semi-automatic weapon because they fear that no authority can protect them from a race war. The reasons why they may fear a race war are complex and deserve a bigger treatment that what I could provide here. Nevertheless, bigotry is to be found around every nook and corner of the world and it rears its ugly head when we fail to analyze history in all its ramifications. Diversity* is good for any species including our own. Merely look at the success of England, a country invaded from three directions in its history and ended up benefiting from ...
