Weekly Notes:

May 12, 2008

 

Prices:

Airline ticket prices are going up and the service is getting almost surly. Food pries are going up. Gasoline prices are going up with a take it or leave it attitude. Along with that, we are going to have a dramatic increase in criminal activity. The people know they are being raped. They may not be able to articulate it, but they know. They scream and rage about it. The fools in charge think that’s all they will see, but some of the most oppressed will go beyond that. When a man sees his baby starving and he thinks he knows who is to blame, he is likely to resort to criminal activity and violence. Count on it!

 

Concerning Medical Research:

We have funny laws in America. We are allowed to purchase and ingest poisons if they are manufactured by a large drug firm and marketed as medicines. But, we re not allowed to have medical research even if there are volunteers who know the risk and are willing to take it. More cutting edge medical research takes place in China than in the USA. I guess the rule of thumb is, if the drug companies cannot directly profit from it, we cannot do it.

 

The Green Initiative:

I am up to here with this green initiative nonsense. Fools are running away with those words. We have organizations claiming to be going green and the fool media gushing about kids going green and schools going green. Most of them don’t know what the heck they are talking about. Whatever happened to the good old-fashioned word, conservation? The only green I recognize is Kermit. He was green long before any of these Johnny-come-lately fools. He knew it wasn’t easy. Just saying the words does not make it a fact.

 

Sadr City:

We bomb and shell that place in an attempt to get terrorists. According to news reports, we kill little children when we do that. Bush says we are winning. What in the world are we winning? If we have to kill kids to do it, is it worth doing? I don’t know how you feel, but I do not want the blood of little kids on my hands. If Mad George wants that, let him go and murder the kids personally.

 

Meanwhile:

The media made a big deal out of some US Marines who managed to get heart surgery for an Iraqi kid who would have otherwise died. I applaud the effort of the Marines, but isn’t there some kind of contradiction here? We kill many kids with bombs and a massive effort is made to save one kid and publicize hell out of it.

 

Umbilical Cords:

They are valuable. There is a need for them in medical research and in medical treatments. Unfortunately, the cords usually are thrown away. We heard a medical person complaining that the mothers make a mistake when the discard them. They just don’t understand. Mrs. Gaffer takes exception to that. She says the hospitals do not ask for the cords. If they did they would get them. Ninety percent of the women queried said they would have donated the cord if they had been asked. The failure is with the hospitals who fail to educate the patients as to the need. They should quit blaming other people for their failure and just ask.

 

Dallas:

Some people who should never have been in prison are now getting out. We learned, from Sixty Minutes that the famous Texas prosecutor, Henry Wade sent a lot of them to prison on false or faulty evidence. We don’t know how many, but one is too many. One man who was in prison 27 years was interviewed. They stole 27 years, more than half of his adult life, from him. He could have been release by a parole board. All he had to do is lie and admit to a crime he did not commit. He chose not to lie and remained in prison. When queried, he said, “A man has to stand up.” Wouldn’t it be something if some of our political hacks could behave like that heroic man? Not likely! It don’t change much from year to year.

 

Tillman Again:

The fuss about his death continues. A military spokesman said there was never any attempt to deceive. What a lying sack of shit! The blatant attempt to create a myth about Tillman was a serious attempt to deceive the public. The goal, all too obvious, was to drum up public support for a failed policy and a failed war. Some of the men who were with Tillman when he died say, if he had seen what is going on about his death, he would call it criminal. I agree. It was a criminal fraud perpetrated on the public. The people who did it will never be brought to justice.

 

Do-Gooders:

There was a tragedy at the Kentucky Derby this year. A great horse, Eight Bells had to be put down after breaking both of her ankles in a stumble after the race was over. Now some A-hole animal rights fools want the jockey suspended. How brain-dead can you get? The fact is that horse wanted to win and she ran her heart out trying. Her jockey did nothing at all to cause her accident after the race. He simply did what jockeys do and began reining in the horse. They claim the horse went lame during the race and the jockey should have stopped when she did. That is manufactured nonsense.

 

It does not matter the cause. These do-gooder Nader types are everywhere, meddling in everything. For the most part, they are fringe people. They have dibbled their lives away in trivial pursuits. They know nothing useful. They have no lives of their own, so they muck around meddling in the lives of other people. One day it may be animal rights. Another day the same fools will be bating up on the fast food people, or trying to outlaw smoking in private places. These fools are not happy unless they are meddling in the business of other people. A pox upon all of them!

 

Air Power:

The media tells us that the government of Iraq is buying a complete new air passenger fleet from an American company. Whose money are they using to buy that fleet? Iraq has no money except what we gave them. That is your tax dollars at work neighbors. How do you like them apples?

 

A New Blame Game:

We have a new fall guy for all of the failures in America and other places. Everyone who has failed recently is blaming big oil for their debacles. The farm lobby is doing it. When the bottom falls out of the ethanol fraud, they will be screaming even louder. Even the auto executives have weighed in. It’s great sport for all the losers of the world. I guess there are not any winners in America. If there were, they would be investing in and looking for real alternatives instead of bitching about a situation they helped to create.

 

Bottom Line:

I have this horrible affliction called a conscience. People who are stricken by that affliction live in constant regret. They cannot allow themselves to be happy for any reason. They are constantly searching for ways to feel guilty. When something good happens to them, they try to remember why they do not deserve it. They always succeed.
