Back to the Weekly Notes 2007 Archives This Week: After being buried in
bull last week by the Republican so-called debate, Stephanopoulos has
retreated to his regular format. He only had Sam Brownback on this time. It
was still a lot to wade through, but Sam only had one pitchfork to fling it.
He still does the same old song and dance about a political solution. He says
we don’t need a draft. Apparently he is willing to let the same kids
get shot up all of the time. Perhaps it’s the old conservative
philosophy of use it up, wear it out, make it do, do without. When applied to
humans instead of things, it is very grotesque. He thinks he can send
Baker over there to make a political deal. I have made this point before. It
is beyond stupid to make a political agreement that you cannot enforce.
Diplomacy without power does not work. Why can’t any of these fools
remember that those Muslims are crazy? Crazy people have no more ethics than
a Senator. They only respect power and then not always. Brownback still
insists the surge is working. For who? All I notice is that it is getting
more of our kids killed. Fifty-two last week. Sure! The day following
Brownback’s tirade Charles Gibson reported the worst attack on
civilians since the war began. Several hundred people were murdered in an
orgy of destruction. The Shuttle: On the last launch, some
more foam came off and damaged the heat shield. Why? They keep talking about
fixing the shield. Why don’t they ever deal with the cause? They have
had this problem of foam flying off ever since the first launch. Why are they
not addressing it? I believe the NASA engineers are incompetent. They have
all been entrenched for too long. The only thing they can think of is to keep
on dong the same old things in the same old way. There is no new blood and no
new ideas are forthcoming. That whole place is overdue for a total shakeup.
Drunken astronauts, love triangles, reentry disintegration, and continuously
damaged heat shields. A privately run operation would not tolerate this much
screw-up. Why does our government? It don’t change much from year to
year. Bush: If he thought he could
get information from them, he would be in bed with the KKK. He can’t,
so he is in bed with the murdering leaders of Mattel: They are marketing
faulty products made in People are asking,
what’s a parent to do? I have an idea. Quit buying expensive junk to
entertain your kids and spend some time with them. They featured a woman on
TV with a roomful of that crap. It’s all junk. She asked the same
question. For Gord’s sake, take all of the junk away from your kids and
put it in the trash. Replace it with hugs. Quit being upward mobile at their
expense. You had a good time making kids. When you did that, you also created
an obligation. You cannot fulfill that by buying toys and candy. You must
fulfill it in person. Quit lying about it. If you were responsible and
honest, Mattel would be out of business. They are marketing to you by playing
to your guilt. Wind Turbines: I finally figured out
what all of the excitement is about these wind turbines that are being put up
all over the place. People actually come out in a picnic mode to watch these
erections. Then it hit me. Erections are what they are. They are tremendous
phallic symbols. I watched people in a cornfield staring up at them with
these rapt looks, women too. Then I looked at the monuments being raised.
Wow! It almost got me. I was reminded of Input: As I said last week,
input is nice. Many, many months ago I wrote essay number 48 in my writing
and publishing series on Agents. It included points about my experience with
agents. One experience was with Milton Kahn. You can read the essay if you
wish. It is still in my archives. This week I received an email about that
essay from Ian Smith. Here it is: Dear William, Milton Kahn, or one of
his minnions, posted a comment on my blog saying what a "perfect
fit" we'd be. So I searched the web and found your invaluable info on
so-called publicists. Many thanks. You have a great site. Ian Smith Visit my websites: Hold
It Up For Ridicule, and iandsmith.com Input is always nice and
it is especially gratifying when I find someone has found what I offer to be
useful. I did send a thank you note to Ian. I also took the time to check out
his websites. They are cool. I will be putting links to them on my links pages
shortly. In case you are wondering, I also think negative input is nice,
because I usually learn from it. Dumb: If you did not sell when
the market was above fourteen you are as dumb as I am. I may die before it
gets back there. Back to the Weekly Notes 2007 Archives |
