Weekly Notes:

December 25, 2006:

 

Sen. Harry Reid:

He is the incoming Senate Majority Leader for the Dumbocratic party. Stephanopoulos had him on the hot seat. What a wishy-washy dork. This guy warbled and waffled around ever issue George brought up. He talked on and on and on, but he did not give a straight answer to anything. I asked, how in the world did this slippery Casper Milquetoast ever get to be Senate Majority Leader? Mrs. Gaffer answered in one word. Seniority! Gord preserve us.

 

Jack Keane.

He is a retired General who is insane. He thinks you can turn savage Muslims into peaceful citizens by protecting them for a while. He wants to risk more of our kids to try that mad experiment. He wants to put about 50,000 more kids into the Iraqis shooting galleries. He says if we protect the people, they will somehow magically form a democracy and be a stable country. Sure they will, as soon as all of the Sunnis are dead or all of the Shiites are dead. I’ll go with Colin Powell’s assessment. He says very simply, it won’t work.

 

Bull:

Time Magazine finked out in the phoniest way possible. The person of the year, as they defined it, is the one who had the most impact on the course of events in the past year. In truth, there were only three possible candidates, who were that notorious, and you and I were not one of them. I cannot say I blame them for not wanting to dirty their cover with Bush, the pompous midget of Korea, or the madman of Iran, but they made the rules. They ought to live up to them.

 

If I Were Emperor:

I would have first-degree child abuse carry the same penalty as first-degree murder. This kind of filth would go into the slammer and they would only come out when they were in a box. There would be no parole ever, and no good behavior leniency. I would also have a three strikes law to give life sentences to any offender after the third felony. No bleeding hearts would be able to dissuade me from that. It should not matter if the third offense is a minor felony. The point is the person is incorrigible. That’s what three strikes is about. Another crime that would get life if I were on top would be identity theft.

 

Another thing I am for is, any person who used a gun in a crime would never get out of prison. There are several innocent people, who were killed in Michigan, who would still be alive if we had a law like that. For sure, we would need more prisons for a while. But, we sure do not need luxurious prisons. No criminals should be pampered, especially those who use guns. Once the criminals realized we were serious, I’m sure we would need fewer prisons. Releasing known murders is not working. Our government ought to notice that.

 

Self-Healing:

Nature has given mankind many tools for healing. We have the practice of conventional medicine as a very powerful tool. In many cases that will be the first line of treatment and will suffice. However, it is realistic to believe that some illness may have emotional or even spiritual causes. In these cases, conventional medicine may be inappropriate or even counterproductive. Sometimes unconventional methods may be more useful. Acupuncture, prayer, and meditation can be employed in this way. With an enlightened doctor, the unconventional methods can be combined with standard medicine to produce outstanding result.

 

Unfortunately, there is a large group of people calling themselves Christian Scientist, who do not believe in the conventional approach at all. These people believe the first and only method of treatment for all illness is prayer. In some cases, they have gone to the extreme of allowing their own children to die rather than give up their insanity. Fortunately, their god sees fit to keep their population small through natural selection. Dumb people die through their own stupidity.

 

Meditation:

When I first started doing it, I was trying to do it the way the Eastern religious nuts said it should be done. Everything must be just right. I finally figured out, what they are doing is rule bound behavior. I doubt that kind of behavior is likely to produce much in the way of profound breakthroughs. Rule bound behavior can be useful when learning to do a task. However, the true artist must go beyond that. We must let go of the rules if we wish to transcend what we are. Spirituality is the ultimate art form.

 

Paranoia:

Another episode of total overreaction happened locally. Someone accidentally broke one of those old mercury blood pressure contraptions in a clinic somewhere. A couple ounces of the slippery silvery fluid fell on the floor of a single room. You can picture the scene. The building was shut down and evacuated, those silly people in those silly spacesuit costumes were wandering all over the place, and a number of people lost a whole day of their time and work. Why? Paranoia is the only answer for reasonable people.

 

For that stuff to be dangerous, it has to be ingested. No one drank it or even touched it. It could have been brushed into bottle and nothing else would have happened. No one would have died or even gotten ill. We have way too many bureaucrats with way too little to do going off half cocked every time they find a tiny excuse to do so. It’s the only way they can cover the fact that they are being paid large salaries for nothing.

 

Sex Offenders:

It seems that too many of them do not register, as they are required to do by law. They slip through the cracks and disappear. Recently some of them have been discovered living very close to elementary schools. There is a solution for that. Recently a dog was found in Chicago because his owners had inserted an ID chip under his skin. The dog was hundreds of miles form home but he was identified at an animal shelter and returned to his owner. I don’t see any reason why we should not insert such chips under the skin of sex offenders. Then random scans would find them even if they disappeared. If they managed to remove the chip, that would be a life sentence offense. Case closed!

 

December 18:

Gates took over as SOD for Rummy. Bush officially introduced him. Gates made a speech and he sounded just like his boss. More troops, defeat is unacceptable, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. I was hoping for better from him. Sad, very sad!
