KAZIAH HANCOCK helps me remember....

THIS LINK WILL LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE

I apologize for the strange length of this link but I can't seem to locate a shorter version.......click on it and then come back and read.

Without question one of the greatest anti-war videos I've ever seen....but more importantly it's one of the best PRO HUMAN SPECIES stories that I've encountered.

It made me remember what I truly value in the human spirit and it reinforced my belief that some segments of the species have indeed reached a higher rung on the evolutionary ladder. I cannot adequately express in words how this story reached a part of me that is often referred to as.....the soul....because my soul just doesn't work in letters or numbers.....it works in the area best described as......love.

And we all know that when one tries to define love it often just comes down to........love.
We can pontificate loquaciously with definitions that might cover edges of the experience but after all the abstract vocalizing is done, the only thing we can say is.....I love it.....I love you.

I love the word love because when it is felt there is no other word that needs to be used.

I love what KAZIAH HANCOCK stands for.......and her goats probably deliver the sweetest milk anyone has ever tasted. Of course that's easy for me to say because I grew up on goat's milk.

I wonder if she does all of her own milking. She's so spiritually advanced that the goats probably just milk themselves and then deliver the buckets to her back door every morning.


The only negative thing I can associate with this story is.........
Visualizing King George and The Real Dick watching this video and making comments like...."Isn't WAR wonderful.... when it can result in this kind of beautiful story, Dick?"
"You bet George....what else can make someone do something so amazing....WAR is so cathartic."

And then I immediately start thinking of Robert Duvall and that napalm in the morning comment from Apocalypse Now....and I realize that my low opinion of the current administration is not about a movie....but about real life characters....and that makes me slightly depressed.

BUT....
....now I can just click on the above link and watch a short video that makes me remember all the greatest things about being a human being.

The goal here should be to follow in her footsteps and step out of the ANTI-WAR box and find something to do, besides bitch, about how to make more people aware of the best traits in human nature.

KAZIAH HANCOCK is so already there.

AMERICA STANDS UPRIGHT ....sometimes

Yesterday was a great day for America in many ways and not so great in a few other ways...but let's first get to the GREAT stories.....

THE EAGLE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST. In 1963 there were 417 American Bald Eagles left in the United States (not counting Alaska, which had 35 million....or some other large number).

Today there are over 11,000......and what the hell was that that just flew down and grabbed my cat? It was big and had a mean looking beak......oh yeah.....it was just an EAGLE.

I was going to report on this yesterday but I heard some rumors that had to be investigated before I could finalize my story.

There seems to be no truth to the rumor that Eagles have flourished by devouring BEES at an alarming rate. The rumor stated.... that three years ago there were only 4,000 Eagles and then they figured out how healthy BEE POLLEN was so they started eating every BEE in North America and it caused them to lay eggs at an incredible rate.....but I can't find any evidence that substantiates that rumor. ( Cell phone signals have not been ruled out)

The fact that Eagles have been removed from the Endangered list shows what people can do if they focus on a problem. Maybe we should tie the Eagle problem to the GLOBAL WARMING problem and to the IMMIGRATION problem and to the GANG problem and to the AIDs problem and to the IRAQ problem and so on and so on.

I love it when the American people solve a problem.....and it took a tremendous amount of various groups and organizations to accomplish this task......and just because they were trying to save the national symbol shouldn't diminish the effort. Kudo's to everyone involved and now we have to figure out how to use the Eagle to our advantage in Iraq. We could train them to spot suicide bombers because I've heard ridiculous statistics on their eye power......which has nothing to do with the i phone, that arrives today, even though Steve Jobs was trying to buy the rights to the i eagle.

By the way....$600 for a phone! I would have to be able to drive a phone for $600.00....but I'm sure it will sell extremely well. People will pay $5.00 for .50 worth of popcorn when they go to the movies....so what's $600.00 for a phone. And by the way.......doesn't the i phone completely destroy the i pod market?

BACK TO GREAT AMERICAN STORIES

The FDA finally bitch slapped the Chinese regarding their contaminated food exports. The main target is SEAFOOD. The Food and Drug Administration announced that it would block ALL shipments from China of farm-raised SHRIMP, CATFISH, EEL, BASA and DACE.

FIRST THING TO ASK IS......WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD BASA OR DACE? Personally you won't find me ordering something that I've never heard of .....especially in the seafood family.

One of the interesting parts of this story reveals that the FDA only tests about 1% of the food imported into this country....because of lack of funding. I think I know a few areas they could get the money from. How much is IRAQ costing on a daily basis? I think it was a billion dollars a day......all they have to do is take a pinch from that and put in toward guaranteeing the safety of the American consumer.


Borderline American stories

I'm not sure if the failure of the Immigration Bill is a great thing for America because frankly I'm not sure what was in the bill. The 761 page bill probably had things in it that nobody understood. I heard rumors that to qualify for citizenship all Mexicans had to commit to working at McDonald's for the first year.....and would no longer be able to hold daily meetings at the Van Nuys DMV.

How many members of the Senate do you think read the entire 761 pages?

They say this a defeat for King George so it might be a win for America. One thing I can promise you is.....WITH THE SUPREME COURT RULINGS during the session which just ended .....KING GEORGE HAS GOT TO FEEL GREAT....AND any immigration law not passed doesn't even compare to what the new conservative justices are doing to the future of America.

HIS APPOINTMENTS TO THE SUPREME COURT COULD BE AROUND FOR 30 YEARS.

THINK ABOUT THAT FOR JUST A FEW SHORT MINUTES.

When I think that 50 percent of the eligible voters.....don't vote....I wonder how many people even remotely concern themselves with Supreme Court decisions....until one day they look up and say...."when did that happen?"

Being able to appoint a Supreme Court Judge might be the only real reason to elect one person over another for the office of President of the United States. Electing George Bush the first time was a total fluke because of that Florida fiasco......giving him four more years for the opportunity to appoint another Supreme Court Judge is an act of total disregard for civil liberties of the American people.....which by the way might not be recognized as something important anymore.

Civil liberties are not an issue until YOU are affected....and YOU will be affected by what the Supreme Court has done during this last session. And how cool is it to finish a session on June 29Th. I don't think those black robed Bush/Cheney Puppets report back until January......but I could be wrong. I can promise you that they don't work during July or August.

I'll look into the exact schedule and get back to you.

God forbid that one of the Judges dies and King George gets another appointment!

And that is indeed another great reason for the power of prayer.

And speaking of prayer....I wish that GOD would just do one of those LARGE VOCAL EXPERIENCES and tell the MUSLIMS of the world to RELAX.

"Prayer is nice and thank you but you have missed the point. The point being to love each other with the same intensity that you love me."


"A FEW LESS TIMES ON THE PRAYER RUG DURING A DAY AND A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPASSION TO HUMAN BEINGS."

"KEEP IN MIND MY CHILDREN.....YOU WILL SEE ME SOON ENOUGH.....DON'T RUSH THE PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE.....SAVOR IT.....ENJOY IT.....PROVE YOUR LOVE BY BEING LOVING.....TO EVERYBODY.....ALL THE TIME."

"AND IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT.....I'M TAKING AWAY THE OIL.....AND THE 42 CENTS A GALLON GASOLINE.....and by the way....why haven't you built any refineries?"

Perhaps that's going a bit far but that's my prayer....and besides I don't even think God would need a megaphone....and I'm sure we would all hear it and get the point.

Come on BIG ONE....make it happen.....PLEASE!
**********

There is a number that was issued yesterday that just has to put the old crawl under the REAL DICK's skin.....the number is 28301-016 and for the next two and one half years it belongs to
I. LEWIS "SCOOTER" LIBBY...as he takes up residence in some FEDERAL PRISON...which hasn't been determined....which means he doesn't have to report for awhile.....which means he has time to go visit the kid in ATLANTA who is in jail for 10 YEARS for having oral sex when he was 17.

SCOOTER gets 2 1/2 years for "perjury" relating to the revelation of an undercover CIA agent....because that agent's spouse questioned the reasons behind the invasion of IRAQ.

TAKE THAT SHOTGUN DICK! Of course he will probably be pardoned by King George and the kid in Atlanta will stay in jail for another 8 years....and the whole EAGLE story will just not seem so wonderful.

AMERICA IS AN AMAZING PLACE OF DIVERSITY AND CHALLENGES....and I love being an American but that doesn't mean I'm turning my back on the things that are in need of being fixed.

Hand me that screw driver and hammer.......

by the way...the green sick looking eagle was the color of Dick Cheney's skin when he heard about Scooter......or a picture of an EAGLE after it had digested 45 million BEES.

Little Dodger update

I've been holding back and just watching the Dodgers unfold. I said in spring training that Nomar should be at third.....actually saying that he should start the season at short because Furcal was injured. Loney batted 400 in spring training and deserved to be in the line-up.

It's only taken 78 games for Grady Little to get the point.

Dodgers once again have the great mix of youth and experience.

Matt Kemp is the Dodgers future center fielder and that might take a couple of years but in the meantime he is helping when he can.

The pitching staff is solid and things will probably go well during the second half of the season.

p.s. National Vice-President of Sales and Marketing has a nice ring to it.

DON'T USUALLY DO REPEATS BUT.....

I originally penned this article on December 26, 2006....and I don't generally repeat stories (except of course Colony Collapse Disorder)....but this story doesn't seem to be generating any global concern.....

And as you read it this time...focus on the issue of what creating a mini-black hole could mean.

A mini-black hole the size of a golf ball could contain our galaxy.....a mini-black hole the size of a pin prick could contain a little bit less mass....like maybe just our Sun and its planets.

We don't know what a Black Hole contains.....we simply know that it absorbs matter and energy and light.

The fact that human beings are spending billions of dollars trying to make a Black Hole seems like the stupidest idea that anyone has ever had.....

AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT.

SO THEREFORE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE

(CNN) -- In a cosmic-sized cavern 100 meters beneath the French-Swiss border, scientists from around the globe are making final preparations for the largest experiment the world has ever seen in an attempt to unearth the origins of the Universe.

It is so powerful; it is capable of creating mini-black holes.

The hope is that the collisions -- up to one billion per second -- will reproduce the conditions that were in existence immediately after the Big Bang some 10 billion years ago.

What the scientists hope to unearth is the "God particle" -- the nickname given to the Higgs boson -- the idea forwarded by Professor Peter Higgs a theoretical physicist at Edinburgh University.The Higgs boson attempts to explain how particles acquire their mass and if it is found to exist, when the experiments are completed in the LHC, it would validate the so-called Standard Model of physics -- a framework devised to explain the nature of particles and their interactions.

APPARENTLY THIS MACHINE, called the CERN, COSTS 4.2 BILLION POUNDS…Which converted to dollars comes to a nice round figure of……about $8,000,000,000.

It’s the Einstein vs. Quantum Physicist hoopla. One looking out and one looking in...The one looking in…. is the one that really makes me nervous."It is so powerful that it is capable of creating mini-black holes."Mini-black holes!…..think about that for just a few minutes.

And keep in mind that no one has any idea what a black hole is…or what it actually does…EXCEPT FOR ONE THING….

IT SUCKS MATTER AND LIGHT INTO ITS REALM….ITS CORE…ITS HOLE. THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY CAN’T EVEN AGREE ON WHAT TO CALL THIS "THING."

A black hole is where DM or DE exists.Some scientists refer to it as Dark Matter and other scientists refer to it as Dark Energy. The fact that some high IQ knuckleheads, operating underground on the French/Swiss border, want to create mini-black holes, just simply freaks me out.I can imagine the moment that a mini-black hole is created and suddenly the machine….just disappears.

One scientist looks at another and says. "So what’s the matter?" And the reply from the other scientist is, "Matter? You mean what’s the energy?"

And they both stand there for one more second before being sucked into their newly created mini-black hole, (manufactured for the bargain price of $8 billion)…...

.....which then precedes to suck in Switzerland and France…followed closely there after by Spain, Italy, The Mediterranean Ocean, and the entire Middle East….followed soon by Africa and The Atlantic Ocean and last, but surly not least......…..you and me.

Have a nice day!

So many Issues this week

I think the primary story centers on the White House and the Vice-Presidency...and the fact that neither office can bee subjected to any scrutiny by a federal watchdog committee called the NATIONAL ARCHIVES and RECORDS ADMINISTRATION which in turn has a subcommittee called the INFORMATION SECURITY OVERSIGHT OFFICE.....

The funny part of this story is that when President Bush issued the executive order in 2003, requiring ALL governmental agencies that are part of the Executive Branch to submit to the independent federal watchdog, in regards to classified national security information....he simply forgot to tell everyone that he didn't mean the White House and the Vice-President.

He assumed that everyone involved knew that those two positions were above the Executive Branch....and what the hell were those city slicker federal watchdogs thinking when they tried to get the REAL DICK to cooperate?

There are truly several viable reasons why there are so many jokes about KING GEORGE

I realize that everybody on the Democratic side has an axe to grind....it's just the way the system works when one party takes place in that big house on Pennsylvania Ave....and the other party happens down the street and around the corner....and it's very important to remember that Washington really is the ultimate PARTY town.

But I have to beelieve that there are some Republicans who are starting to shake their heads.....open their eyes a little wider.....and actually finally wonder how so many jokes about George, being King, got started.....and continue to grown expeditiously.

Certain things don't help control that growth rate.....

The other day when the oversight committee tried to contact the REAL DICK....his office said that he was out on a Fox Hunt with the President....and that they would bee riding back into town around 5 PM....unless of course some of the dogs couldn't be located and then they would have to stay out a little bit later.

A few weeks ago one of the reporters asked him about Laura, and George answered with ....."THE QUEEN was napping."

Dick Cheney showed up a month ago at a party dressed like Cardinal Richelieu but it wasn't a costume party......he told the people at the party....."GET OVER IT or I'll see you in the Dungeon."

Sometimes at the Crawford Ranch, if you look real hard, you can see George walking around with something very shiny on his head. It could be a Sterling Silver cowboy hat...but how heavy would THAT bee?

I'm not sure his noggin could take the weight.

I'd like to clear up one thing right now.......I actually think George Bush is a fairly normal guy.....but I think he would make a much better Commissioner of Major League Baseball than President of the United States.

Dick Cheney, on the other hand......is a total asshole and needs to be shipped out to the Marshall Islands to clean up, by hand, any residual toxic waste left over from previous Nuclear tests.

ORGANIC SMORGANIC

The USDA needs your immediate attention!
SEND A NOTE TO THE
NATIONAL ORGANIC PROGRAM...look it up on Google and let them know that you disagree with their latest fiasco...which allows 38 non-organic ingredients to be added to anything that says ORGANIC.

TRIBES IN IRAQ

The United States of America has a history of poor relationships with "TRIBES." The Sunni and Shiite TRIBES are conducting TRIBAL warfare and the US Calvary is simply caught in the middle. I think it might bee time to call in the architects of the Wounded Knee Massacre and take care of this TRIBAL problem....once and for all.

****************

The President of Viet-Nam visited the White House this week and King George gave a short lecture on improving their Human Rights policies.....if they want to increase trade relations with the U.S. He didn't mention CHINA because they make cheaper socks and toys than Viet-Nam.
Obviously Viet-Nam hasn't gotten their prices in line to a point where we don't care what they do to their citizens......as with our good communists friends from CHINA.

There's a lesson to be learned here but I'm not exactly sure what it is.

OK...I probably do know what the lesson is....but when lessons are based on the almighty dollar, I have a tendency to shut down.

***********************

Another family of a young child is wondering about the Universe and how things could go so wrong. A 13 year old girl had her feet severed when a cable snapped on a ride at Six Flags in Louisville, Kentucky. The only positive thing about this incident is that she is still alive and will probably own one of the Six Flag theme parks when all the dust settles.

***********************

The City of Tulsa Oklahoma is looking for R.E. Humbertson. In 1957 he entered a contest which asked people to guess what the population of Tulsa would be in 2007. His guess was within a couple of thousand. His prize is a 1957 Plymouth that has been buried for 50 years. The DMV of Tulsa claims he owes $78,450 in late registration fees and they are going to track his ass down if it takes another 50 years.

***********************

Indications are pointing toward 07/07/07 as being one of the largest wedding days in recent history.....recent history dating back to 5046 BC. Rumors are that in Las Vegas alone...Elvis Presley will oversee 3 million weddings......Elvis impersonators are starting to arrive from every corner of the planet.
Rumor also has it that Dick Cheney does a mean Elvis and he can actually marry people if they are on a boat or a train. One of the small bonus features of beeing Vice-President.

***************************

Paris Hilton was turned down by the three Networks for an exclusive interview....when she gets out of jail.
The Hilton Corporation then announced that all rooms at the Hilton Hotels just went up 400% when anyone from NBC, ABC or CBS.....checks in.

***************************

The space shuttle Atlantis returned safely to Edwards Air Force base early Friday morning. It turns out the runway in Florida was under repair. When they were unloading they discovered that a Russian Cosmonaut had stowed away in the cargo bay. He simply was quoted as saying.... "My government doesn't have enough money to pay for the gas....to come get us....I'm asking for political asylum." One of our Generals said that Moscow was the world's most expensive city and what the hell was he talking about. They said the Cosmonaut started laughing and won't stop.

They said they would keep him in a decompression chamber for six or seven years until they get this matter straightened out. The chamber is actually larger than the Space Station room he's been in since Russia sent him up there in 1971. He also said he was looking forward to meeting President Richard Nixon. Apparently when Russia ran out of money their news divisions were disbanded.

I'm serious about Moscow being the most expensive city in the World.

Something is wrong with this picture.

I could go on and on but I won't.

FACE to FACE

A few years ago I went through a "Silly" face faze, or period, if you prefer......I didn't know what else to call them so "silly" just stuck. The "silly" faces are always male and are always looking to the left....and it doesn't take a psychiatrist to straighten that one out......

On the other hand I've drawn female faces since I was very young and they always look directly forward and can't be regarded as silly......you can judge the art but the most interesting comment I hear about my "ladies" is....AND I'VE HEARD IT NUMEROUS TIMES, WHEN SHOWING PEOPLE......

"So, who are these girls?"

My answer is always the same....

"I don't know....they won't talk to me."

I realized yesterday that I had not grouped all my ladies together....never once laid them all out to view at one time.....

The interesting thing about them is that I have written notes on each drawing......it doesn't show on the pictures above but if I was framing them, I would definitely show the comments because the comments have substance that goes well beyond....the actual drawing.

I like "my ladies" and I started cataloguing them last night and realized that I probably have well over a 150 images......

Before you start complaining about them not being finished....keep one very important thing in mind....

JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE EVERYTHING

DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T THERE

As I said before......I like "my ladies" and if they do start talking to me....then we have a different kind of problem....but if they do..... there are a couple of them that I hope speak first.

And obviously I didn't draw Jessica Alba but who the hell cares?

I respect all great creations and she's definitely another great reason to believe in GOD.

STILL INSIDE HAWAII

Hawaiian
Hānau kū'oko'a 'ia nā kānaka apau loa, a ua kau like ka hanohano a me nā pono kīvila ma luna o kākou pākahi. Ua ku'u mai ka no'ono'o pono a me ka 'ike pono ma luna o kākou, no laila, e aloha kākou kekahi i kekahi.
Translation
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

I've never really wanted to learn another language and didn't do well when I took Spanish and a little Latin....in High School. I did retain a few Latin words from the Catholic experience but I'm not allowed to use them because of leaving their church....and that's enough talk about the Mackerel-snapper that I used to be.

I tried taking French in college, because of a girl I wanted to meet, and only got through one semester.....met her..... and I'm not really sure if anything developed so it must not have been important. So many many things in college were not important except under the heading of....are we having fun now....or what! I wished I had taken the experience seriously but the times dictated BEHAVIOR and I'm just a product of my environment.....and I guess my parents stressed parties instead of study halls.

Study halls didn't appear to be something worthwhile in my life until around the age of 40 and by then it was too late to go back.....so I created my own.

Back to languages........

I've found that the English language has perplexed me to degrees that don't seem to allow other languages a chance to blossom.....and therefore bloom.

I might bee language illiterate which would rank equally with my math illiteracy......

I know for a fact that I am math illiterate and there's nothing about that.....which will change...


and please note that last sentence and my obvious continued work with English.

The reason I bring this up is because I think I would like to learn the Hawaiian language.

Not too many letters....maybe right up my alley.....and since I am knee deep into the Michener epic tale of how the Islands came to bee.... what they are today.....I might as well try a little HOI POI.


IT LOOKS LIKE A LANGUAGE OF FUN AND LAUGHTER and I realize that there are native Hawaiians who don't want any Caucasian man learning their ancient tongue....but dems the breaks......and I'll probably lose interest after I'm finished with Michener, but I've always thought I would live there some day......so maybe I'll just learn enough words that will allow me to walk among the warriors, princesses and kings.......

I don't think terms like Maui Wowie and Da Kind count towards the goal....but they do have a very sweet ring to them....as well as an intense kick.

I have stood on the top of Haleakala
and swam with the beauties in Hunama Bay
I rode a horse on the beach of the North Shore
and watched the lava slip steaming away

I've been to the summit of Mauna Lai
and swam with a giant turtle in Kona
I've partied with locals in Kula
and spent some time alona

I've golfed on a lava rock course on Hilo
and played a set of tennis in Hana
I had the best mushroom soup ever on Maui
and did somethings I didn't wanna

I've taken both of my children to paradise
and I'm sure one of them will return
God only knows where the other one is
as well as the lessons we must learn

I over stayed my welcome
the first time I was there
but that's because of a girl
so in love......all is fair

I wrote a short story about Lahaina
four years before going there
and when I finally saw it for the first time
it was the second time I had been there

I swam in the Seven Scared Pools
and watched the entire Navy strut their stuff
it was a parade in the Honolulu waters and air
and enough was enough

I've had friends move there and return
and some who decided to stay
I think if Island Fever happens
it will happen in a day

It's the ultimate form of sea sickness
and there's nothing you can do
just look out towards the horizon
and all you see is blue

It can be a serious problem
if you are addicted to New York or LA
and not such a problem
if you've lived in Carmel or Monterey

Whatever takes you there
doesn't always bring you back
in either direction

If you've been there you probably think you will go again
If you haven't been there
the only thing to say to you is
when?

I highly suggest picking up the book or the audio tape.....HAWAII..... by James Michener and fully grasp the realities that have shaped that volcanic island paradise. Picking up a few Hawaiian words wouldn't hurt.....after all there's only a few letters to learn.

ONE PUTT HEAVEN

I have written three or four articles about golfing with my 87 year father. The first couple were focused on how he would whip my ass every time....including the day he devoured me by 16 strokes. The last one I wrote was about two months ago and focused on my finally whipping his ass...by two strokes.
Today we started the round with his announcement that he was going to have a balloon inserted into his veins to see if that helped the pain in his legs...and if that didn't work they might have to do a bypass....which is similar to a heart bypass but takes place in the legs.
You would have thought that information was enough to throw me off my game but the exact opposite thing happened.
I turned into JOHNNY PUTTERMAN...the world's greatest putter, and ONE PUTTED EIGHT HOLES....IN A ROW!......Four to end the front nine and four to start the back nine. I got nervous thinking it was like the priest in Caddyshack and kept looking up for the lighting on an extremely cloudless day.
I had a total of 28 putts for the round, which is about 10 to 12 less than I normally have....and ended up shooting a very respectable 79. My dad shot a 83 and was a little pissed and a little proud.
I realized he was proud because the first thing he said to the Marshall was, "My son just had eight one putts...in a row....and whooped my ass." The Marshall, who is about his age calmly said...."I won't play with him anymore." We sort of laughed and walked away and then he hit me with this.....
"You know...if this is my last round of golf then I just want to make sure you know how much I've enjoyed playing with you over the last six months."
"Why would this be your last round of golf."
"If something goes wrong with the balloon deal."
"Dad...I think you need to be looking at it like....if this works I can walk without pain and kick your ass every time."
"You are probably right, but it is a little scary."
I gave him a big hug and thanked him for letting me win and thought how well his medical announcement seemed to work for me.....maybe next time he will announce that he was having a lobotomy and I might get my first hole in one.

Being able to play golf with my 87 year old father....who always beats his age....is truly a pleasure that I cherish.

Being able to one-putt 8 holes in a row is beyond pleasure....it's truly just freaky stuff...and most likely will never happen again.

But it happened once.....and that's what happens ......when you keep teeing it up.

Each and every time something great can happen .....if you just keep teeing it up.

And I'm fairly certain that rules applies to almost every challenge or task one undertakes.

KEEP TEEING IT UP

The picture was taken about 11 years ago....and that's how we dress when we play golf. My older brother is on the right and he doesn't play enough golf....but he's got other redeeming qualities that are too numerous to mention.

It's funny how they still look the same and I now look like my father did then....except of course I'm still a lot taller.

Two devastated families

Yesterday two things happened that just leave all of us...shaking our heads and wondering....why?

In American Fork, Utah an 11 year old boy was dragged from a tent, being occupied by mother, step-father and 6-year-old brother. It was originally thought that he had been kidnapped because the slice in the tent was very precise. It turns out that a 300 pound black bear was the culprit. They found the boy's body about 400 yards away and then the park rangers located the bear and killed him.

At a Boy Scout camp near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania a nine year old boy scout was waiting outside to have his health records reviewed when a 13 foot totem pole fell over and killed the young scout.

I'm really not sure which story is stranger....but both stories have one thing in common. Two families are completely devastated this morning....and the family of the bear is wondering why papa hasn't brought back dinner.

This is one of those stories that will be defined by strange animal rights activists. They will be asking why the bear had to be killed. It reminds me of the time in 1994.....two months after my 15 son had died. I was at a Furniture show in North Carolina, just operating on instinct, and a customer and I started talking. She asked me if I was ok because obviously I wasn't. I told her a little bit about my son and she looked at me with very sad eyes and said...."I know exactly what you are going through.....my 14 year dog just died last week."

The moment hung in the air.....thick as the giant pig bacon from Alabama named Fred....and I couldn't rationalize what I had just heard. My first thought was to slap this woman across the face....and then I slowly remembered my late mother's relationship with her dogs.

I decided not to slap this lady and instead just looked at her and said...."Well, at least you can get another dog." She looked at me like I was insane and said...."I could never replace Trixie."

Another moment hung in the air and I decided to become a Tibetan MONK.....there was nothing I could say at that moment.....so I simply went back to the sales presentation.

I think she wrote a HFC (hold for confirmation) that was never confirmed.

The point I'm making here is that I'm always amazed at how much people love animals...which is ok unless something regarding a human being takes a back seat to that type of love. I sure hope that people who love totem poles aren't going to make a fuss over why one would fall over.

When I was young I was a member of the 4-H club and had daily responsibilities including the milking of a goat every morning before school....I had a pet goat, a pet sheep, a horse and quite a few other types of animals that had names. The difference on a farm between the animal hierarchy is based on who has a name....and who doesn't.

When an animal has a name it means somebody loves it.......but no matter how much somebody loves an animal....there is always another one that looks just like the old one...that can replace one when it dies.

No one has remotely been able to figure out how this can happen on the human level.

I know how those two families feel about their lost of their sons but I can't even remotely know how they deal with the bizarre circumstances.

Sometimes life can be a little more bizarre than actually needed....because really my friends....it's plenty bizarre already.

Hawaii

A friend of mine took his family to Hawaii about two weeks ago....for about two weeks.....and returned three days ago. The day he left for Hawaii I was in the New Wonderful Santa Monica Public Library. I was looking for a new audio disc, or audio tape, and on the first shelf that I looked towards....there sat a large double case holding the book called....Hawaii by James Michener.
I've wanted to read this book for a long time but listening to it.... is much much better....especially if a drive is involved and because of business interest I will be driving to the desert almost every other week....for awhile.....so Hawaii turns out to bee......

A LARGE PIECE OF WORK

There are 47 Disc and I am currently on 23...the time period is 1870 and the formation of the Leper Colony on Molokai is the current focus.....and all I have to say is that this took place 137 years ago.....on Hawaii.

And that might be amazing until you read this one...

In 1831 The Wheel had not reached Hawaii.

The thing about Michener is that he regarded himself as a fictional historian with human character development being the only thing fictionalized....and many many times the names are taken from historic records so the story becomes realistic.

Back to the Leper Colony....in 1870 600 Lepers lived on Molokai with no houses, no doctors, no missionaries and no regard for their suffering...on any level. I realize that because they didn't know how it spread they just moved them away to an off island....and not even on the nice side of the off island...but instead on the cold damp side.

I just arrived home and was left with a visual that makes me worry about human nature and then I think back to the Jungles of South America and the mountains of China and a bunch of Lepers being sent to a lush Pacific Island might not bee quite so bad......Those South American Indians around 1100 were really really whacked. Those Mongol type sons of bitches around 1200 were really really really whacked.

The problem in Hawaii in 1870 was simply that the DNA for Lepers had not been isolated.....and the cure had not been developed....but I'm fairly certain as the story develops the other true part of human nature...OUR ABILITY TO FIGURE IT OUT....will rise up and make me proud once more to bee human.

I know that Michener will not disappoint and the rest of the story will bee as good as going there........well.........that's really not true....but books are a reason to like relaxation.

Reading relaxed is one of the greatest things that a human being can do......and you might call it relaxed reading but they are two different things....dude.....or dudette.

WAY DIFFERENT

and I think you know what I mean.

TAKE THAT GEFFEN and Laura

This week Steven Spielberg endorsed Hillary Clinton and trumped David Geffen's support of Barack Obama.
The former offices of Dreamworks must have been an interesting place to work. What would bee really funny is if Jeffery Katzenburg (third former wheel in Dreamwork's former spokes) endorses Fred Thompson.

The power players in Hollywood are drawing their lines in the sand pretty early but then again this election will have so many twists and turns that the voting public should be completely trashed by the time the Conventions roll around.

***************

I watched a musical movie last week that still resonates in my brain...it might bee one of the best concert movies ever made. STOP MAKING SENSE by Jonathan Demme (1990) not only shows the complete genius of David Byrne but also demonstrates how a concert should bee recorded. And I'm serious when I say that the assortment of musicians involved in that concert might bee one the greatest overlooked treasures in musical recorded history. If you haven't seen this film....rent it.....find a big screen, with big speakers.....mix your favorite poison......and crank it up......and trust me when I say....IT'S THE SAME AS IT EVER WAS.

****************

I'm not sure how this happened but somehow I had failed to watch THE BIG LEBOWSKI until last week. I had been told by a few friends that it was one of their favorite movies of all time.
One of those friends keeps telling me that JEFF BRIDGES wasn't acting in the movie....he was just being himself..."The Dude" is truly one of the great characters in film and I'm absolutely amazed that a series of sequels didn't follow. In fact this could bee a HBO series but maybe that would just bee too much f..king fun....."shut the f..k up Donny!"

****************

Last night at Agoura High school approximately 48,600 seniors graduated from High School.
That might bee a slight exaggeration but when I tell you that my entire High School wasn't as big as the 2007 Agoura High school senior class....I'm not kidding, and keep in mind I didn't grow up in BackF..K, Arkansas....well I did go to high school in Santa Monica so maybe it was a little backf..K. Involved in that rather huge mass of caps and gowns was one single individual that made a rather strange extended family....very proud. Not that everybody in the extended family is strange but then again there could bee quite a bit of material for new THE BIG LEBOWSKI HBO series....if you get my drift.

LAURA ELIZABETH FAIRLY only maintained a 3.9 grade GPA during her four years of High School and therefore we were slightly disappointed............NOT

I think the 13 kids who maintained a 4.2 GPA and completed 26 Honors classes need to bee checked for Human Growth Hormones......their skulls looked weird and some of their limps were rather extended in strange directions. The fact that Barry Bonds was chosen to give them their special awards is just a very strange coincidence.

It turns out that Barry was the only African-American within twenty miles of the ceremony....but that's another story for the new Big Lebowski series.

Getting back to the real deal at the ceremony. LAURA made us cry, laugh, scream and mainly bee EXTREMELY PROUD that we are lucky enough to bee able to not only know her but to UNCONDITIONALLY LOVE HER.

And LAURA, keep it in always in your mind.........IT IS TOTALLY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE......from all of us....no matter how strange some of us might act....and I will admit that some of us are acting very very strange....at certain times.

BUT THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER.......

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED BEFORE THIS EXACT MOMENT....RIGHT NOW....except remember what happened....and thinking about the negative aspects of anything only helps build more negative blocks in the foundation of one's happiness.
AND THAT'S A UNIVERSAL TRUTH

So the 3.9 GPA means nothing my dear, because now you have to start all over at Cal....but you do have the summer to celebrate....but then again.....you start work next week....so you get a week to enjoy.....but then again..... since your Grad party is still going....you will probably bee sleeping for the next five days.

WE LOVE YOU.....AND IT'S THE SAME AS IT EVER WAS AND THERE'S NOTHING F..CKED HERE DUDE.....or Dudette in your case....or Dudierdette if you prefer a formal version.

Somebody mentioned that 2007 was the largest single High School graduating class in the history of America because of the Baby Boomers....WHICH confuses me a bit but I will research that claim and get back to you.

IF YOU ARE WONDERING ABOUT THE BEES....THEN YOU HAVEN'T BEEN READING MY BLOGS ABOUT CCD....AND IF YOU ARE UNAWRE OF CCD......shame on you.

APOLOGY

Yesterday I got an e-mail from a columnist, JACK NEWORTH, who writes a weekly column for the Santa Monica Daily Press called LAUGHING MATTERS.

He asked me if I knew of how many soldiers from Santa Monica had died in Iraq.

After researching the issue for awhile I answered Mr. Neworth with the following comment;

" I couldn't find anything Jack, and maybe there's a small chance that nobody from Santa Monica was stupid enough to go over there."

As I was falling asleep last night it bothered me how stupid my comment was and I decided to write an apology to him this morning in an e-mail.

When I got up and turned on my computer there was another e-mail from Jack containing

the following information from May of 2005

It is with extreme sadness and remorse that I announce the passing of Officer Ricardo A. Crocker, known to all of us as “Rick”, 39 years of age and a 10 year veteran of the Santa Monica Police Department. Officer Crocker was in the midst of his second tour of duty in Iraq, and was killed yesterday (5/26/05) morning at 6:45am PST in the province of Al-Anbar, Iraq by an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) attack. Rick was identified by his Dog Tags and the name badge on his uniform. It is unknown at this time if there were additional casualties in this attack.
Rick is survived by his Mother - Jeanette, Father – Curtis, Sisters – Marisa and Maria, Brother – Carlos and has one deceased sister, Linda, who passed 11 years ago. Rick was single and had no children.

I decided not to write an e-mail apology to Mr. Neworth but instead write an open apology to the family and friends of RICARDO CROKER.

Using the word stupid when referring to individuals who fulfill their obligations is totally wrong and will never be repeated.

My problem is fairly simple....

I THINK WAR IS STUPID and throughout history can only classify a few wars that could be deemed necessary.

The Iraq War is most definitely not one of those wars.

The fact that a family has to lose a loving member due to reasons that are not justifiable

is STUPID

INDIVIDUALS WHO DIE BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO BE A PART OF THE MILITARY COMPLEX ....ARE NOT STUPID.

I WAS STUPID FOR IMPLYING THAT AND I APOLOGIZE ESPECIALLY TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF.......

RICHARDO A. CROKER

Blown away

This is one 21 year old who isn't thinking about CCD.

ATLANTA - Genarlow Wilson's joy was short-lived. The Georgia man, who has become a symbol for extreme cases of getting tough on sex offenders, was ordered released from prison by a judge who called his 10-year sentence for having consensual oral sex as a teen "a grave miscarriage of justice."

The verdict brought cheers from his legal team. His mother, Juannessa Bennett, wiped away tears as she called it "a miracle."
But the mood dampened some 90 minutes later when the state's attorney general announced he would appeal, which will keep the former honors student and football star behind bars for now.

IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING THIS STORY:

17 YEAR MALE GETS A B JOB FROM A 15 YEAR GIRL AND GETS SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS IN JAIL

And please note this is not happening in some strange third world country unless you regard Atlanta, Georgia as third world.

THERE ARE SO MANY RIDICULOUS PARTS OF THIS STORY BUT THE BEST PART IS THAT AFTER HE GOT SENTENCED.... THE LAW CHANGED, MAKING IT A MISDEMEANOR INSTEAD OF A FELONY...AND THE LAWMAKERS DECIDED NOT TO MAKE IT RETROACTIVE.

Yesterday the Attorney General THURBERT BAKER only made matters worse....by stating that the Judge had no jurisdiction in ordering the release of GENARLOW.

CHECK OUT THESE NAMES

GENARLOW.....INMATE
JUANNESSA....MOTHER
THURBERT.....IDIOT

Someone should check into this and see if maybe THURBERT'S niece was the girl giving the BJ to Genarlow.

SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE

how cool would it be when GENARLOW gets released.....and GOD willing it will happen today.....if the first thing he said was.......

'I AM SO HAPPY TO BE FREE BUT I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER."

now that would BEE THE BEES KNEES...which is an expression that I've never used but this seems like as good a time as any.

IMAGINE IF EVERY TEENAGE BOY UNDER 18 WHO RECEIVED ORAL PLEASURE FROM A TEENAGE GIRL UNDER 18.....WAS IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED AND SENT TO A FEDERAL PENITENTIARY.

AND OF COURSE ANY GAY TEENAGERS UNDER 18 COULD BE SHUFFLED OFF TO SAN QUINTIN OR LEAVENWORTH....WHICH WOULD REALLY BE A GREAT PRESENT FOR THE SICKEST F..KS ON THE PLANET.

imagine that news.....being received in the open yard at San Quintin....

DICKHEAD NUMBER ONE
"hey....Rocko....did you hears that they are sending us 50 gay teenagers this week."
DICKHEAD NUMBER TWO
"why?"
DICKHEAD NUMBER ONE
"cause they were giving each other blow jobs before the age of 18"
DICKHEAD NUMBER TWO
"Is this a great system or what!"....let's send a thank note to the Warden."
DICKHEAD NUMBER ONE
"It's not the warden Rocko...it's the Judicial system in Atlanta, Georgia....and specifically some dude named THURBERT BAKER.
DICKHEAD NUMBER TWO
"ok...let's send Thurbert a thank you note."

Dear Thurbert,
You don't know how boring it gets in here having to dick the same tired old farts day in and day out and the fact that you've finally done something about consensual sex between teenagers really proves that everything is going well on the outside. Thank you so much for your new gifts and we will make sure that we return them in a few years....with a few new tricks up their sleeves.
Yours Truly,
EVERY DICKHEAD IN THE UNITED STATES PRISON SYSTEM

somethings wrong with this picture

FREE GENARLOW NOW

TODAY!

FINALLY FRONT PAGE NEWS

THE BEES HAVE MADE THE FRONT PAGE.

In yesterday's LA TIMES, COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER MADE THE FRONT PAGE. The good news being that some much needed attention is being directed towards CCD and the bad news is that States being affected is now up to 35!.....the last story I wrote about this problem was approximately 45 days ago....and only 22 States had been affected.

THIS IS NOT GOOD!

And the article indicated that some European Countries were also being affected.

THIS IS REALLY NOT GOOD!

I suggest they reconvene the G-8 summit and address this issue....or call Amgen and have them develop a pollination spray.....

THIS IS REALLY REALLY NOT GOOD!

All the bulls..t time we spend trying to spread Democracy to people that won't recognize it if it bit them in the ass, while one of the most important links to our food chain is slowly dying.

CALL THE POPE!
GET BONO ON BOARD!
COME ON MADONNA!
HEY BRAD AND ANGELINA....WAKE UP!
PLEASE MR. GORE....BEE REAL!

THIS IS A CRISIS BEYOND ANY OF OUR WILDEST IMAGINATIONS....AND I JUST NEED TO SEE SOME PERSONALITIES TAKE AN INTEREST....BEFORE IT'S MUCH TOO LATE.

MICHAEL TIMTOHY MC ALEVEY

The Horror is gone

This morning in the LA TIMES there is a front page article regarding the HORROR movie genre and the recent failures.

I don't want to get to excited but it's great to think that maybe....just perhaps....people have figured out that images which are ingrained in the subconscious are forever ingrained....so when one attends the latest gore experience on the silver screen, that is presented as a 60 foot image, it's an image that not only is permanent......but it's the freakin size of Detroit.

And something visually horrible, that sits in your mind and is the size of Detroit......IS A PROBLEM.

The world seems to be offering enough visual images that don't resemble pleasure moments....that one doesn't really need to pursue extra doses.

Now hopefully younger people will figure it out soon and violent video games will silently slip away....but that's probably not going to happen because the visuals are computer generated and it's hard to convince people that computer generated images are ingrained in one's subconscious.

Only someone who plays video games can tell us. Do they dream in SGI format?
And if the answer is yes then we really have a problem....because the addiction to dreaming in SGI might be an addiction that can never be reversed.......and in fact I might want to learn how to do it.
But do they have blow the living crap out of everything.....all the time?

And back to the movie thing......Tarintino should take note. Rodriguez should take note....and all those film makers who just want to affect people's sleep.....should take note.

IMAGES NEVER LEAVE THE GRAVITATION PULL OF THE EARTH AND IF YOU ARE RESIDING ON THIS PLANET...THEN IMAGES ARE ALWAYS PRESENT......AND IMAGES THAT HAVE EXISTED SINCE THE BEGINNING.

THE INFORMATION IS FOREVER THEORY has some very important proponents and although they might lean in the direction of new age philosophical viewpoints...they are generally extremely well educated and academic types.......

HAS ANYONE EVER ASKED A ASTRONAUT ABOUT DREAMS WHILE ORBITING THE EARTH....OR CHECKED WITH THE RUSSIANS LIVING ON THE SPACE STATION....which by the way has to be one of the happiest groups of people alive today.
THEIR LAST VISITOR AND SUPPLIER WAS SUPPOSE TO ARRIVE IN FEBRUARY BUT SOME BAD TILES GOT IN THE WAY, AND THE SPACE SHUTTLE DIDN'T LAUNCH UNTIL YESTERDAY. I had heard rumors that they were running short on toilet paper....so I'm sure they are really jazzed.

And there's a part of me that feels I just did the same thing as Tarintino and Rodriguez. I put an image into your head that didn't need to be there....but at least the Astronauts weren't blow to smithereens by some giant flying space anemone.

We can't control everything we see on a daily basis nor ignore every negative input that enters into our mind....but we can pick and choose the extra moments that are our moments.....the time to sit and read a great book versus a silly book....the time to watch a great movie versus a
exploitation film....the time to not watch or read anything and just sit on the grass or walk on the beach or whatever tool you choose to use as your weapon....when trying to deal with the rigors of human existence on our planet.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....

HAPPINESS MIGHT BE BASE ON MUCH TRUTH ONE CAN IGNORE
neo-illumination #17

and it might help to ignore the visual images that really don't have any place in your sub-conscious.....and for sure do not belong in anybodies dreams.

AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THOSE IMAGES ARE....and it appears that the movie going public has said.....

ENOUGH is ENOUGH

now, I'm not sure they are demanding the remake of the Sound of Music but how cool would that be?

Oh and by the way....I have that script ready to go.
It's called
"FACE....the anomaly"

and it could be made for
under 65 million
give or take 15 million depending on who directs.

Have your people call my people.

TODAY
or tomorrows ok

or even Monday could be arranged......Tuesday's bad .....but Wednesday works.

HOW WEIRD IS THE WORLD OF SHOW BUSINESS?

Do we really care that Paris Hilton gets released early? Does it really bother people? She didn't run anybody over. Why can't they just make her pick up some trash on the 405? Or even better yet make her spend some money on social issues that help the less unfortunate. She can even pick the poison.

As much as you might hate to hear it.....Paris Hilton is American Royalty.......of which we don't encourage but which we do constantly reward....with our interest.
Her family is one of the great American success stories and she is just adding some different elements to the story.

Let her go home.

FREE PARIS!

Aren't there enough things to occupy the courts and the legal system? Is there a short agenda on the schedule?

If you want to do something.......go arrest Tarintino and Rodriguez for that silly bulls..t they tried to lay on us a month or so ago.....something called Grindhouse.

What a waste of talent!

FREE PARIS! ARREST QUINTON AND RICHARD
and in the meantime.....
hopefully the public has spoken and
Horror
is Gone
just like the dollar bag of popcorn or the .50 coke

seriously....$5.00 for a medium popcorn ........
now that's true horror

First Mobile Posting

This is the first blog I've posted away from my own desk. I'm FAIRLY certain that the keyboard is the same configuration as the one I own, so it should not be any problem entering these letters.

I've always had a thing about MY electrical connection and since this is a different connection then things might be......"different."

Please note how I've constructed an excuse....in case things don't go well.

But let's not dilly dally any more.

Yesterday I started pointing out the problems with Saudi Arabia being our trusted friend and ally and today I thought I'd just pick on the Muslims.

BUT SINCE PICKING ON THE MUSLIMS CAN RESULT IN EXTREMELY UNWANTED RESULTS.......MAYBE I'LL JUST PUT THEM ASIDE FOR AWHILE UNTIL THEY GET THEIR FREAKIN ACT TOGETHER AND CHANGE SOME INTRICATE DETAILS REGARDING DEATH AND SUICIDE....which seems to have changed drastically in 1980.

I hope that wasn't enough to cause me to start checking under my car.

The G-8 Summit is underway on the Baltic Seacoast resort of Heligendbille or Helignenndamn or something real close to that.

I hope they are discussing the LED phenomenon that is sweeping the world. ...but most likely not.

THE FAILURE TO MENTION LEDs WHEN TALKING ABOUT SAVING ENERGY IS A
WIDE SPREAD
FAILURE

ACTUALLY ONE OF THE MORE INCREDIBLE FORMS OF FAILURE I'VE WITNESSED ON THE POLITICAL SCENE.

POLITICIANS ARE SUPPOSE TO OFFER HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT. THEIR PRIMARY JOB IS TO
COACH.
ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP RUNGS OF THE POLITICAL LADDER...WITH THE TOP RUNG BEING OCCUPIED BY THE
MANAGER

THE ONE WHO ULTIMATELY TALKS TO THE PRESS ABOUT THE GAME AT HAND.

WHEN POLITICIANS START TALKING ABOUT SAVING ENERGY AND THEY DISCUSS THE FLUORESCENT VS THE INCANDESCENT AND DON'T MENTION LEDs....THEY ARE BEING EXTREMELY BAD COACHES.

WE'VE ALL KNOWN BAD COACHES
BUT WE'VE ALSO KNOWN GREAT COACHES AND THE DIFFERENCE IS STAGGERING.

WHEN LEDs DON'T GET MENTIONED DURING A DISCUSSION REGARDING LIGHTING THEN I START GETTING CONCERNED THAT MUSLIMS ARE INVOLVED.

AND I REALIZE THE PARANOIA OF THAT STATEMENT BUT WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

IT COULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH GENERAL ELECTRIC HAVING AN INCANDESCENT INVENTORY THAT NUMBERS INTO THE TRILLIONS?

IT COULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LOBBYIST CONTENGENCY.

IT MIGHT JUST BE LACK OF INFORMATION BUT IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN I'M REALLY TALKING
ABOUT BAD COACHING.

REALLY REALLY BAD COACHING

PERHAPS SO BAD THAT IT'S TIME TO FIRE THE MANAGER

MAYBE I'LL WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ALL-STAR GAME

MAYBE NOT

BUT WHATEVER I DO I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING......I'LL NOT BE CHECKING WITH THE MUSLIMS BEFORE I MAKE MY DECISION.

THE LINE HAS BEEN DRAWN IN THE SAND AND THE SAND IS REALLY DEEP IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE GLOBE WHERE MUSLIMS SEEM TO HANG.

MAYBE IF CONTACTED SOME SHEIK FROM SAUDI ARABIA AND ASKED HIM TO TALK ABOUT LEDs.....IT MIGHT GET DONE.

THE POINT IS.....

WHEN PEOPLE GET TO TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT SAVING ENERGY.....LEDs HAVE TO BE MENTIONED OR THE CONVERSATION IS INVALID.......

PERIOD

INVALID

AND THE G-8 SUMMIT UNDERWAY IN HEIIGENNBURGMENDAMN HAS THE EIGHT MOST POWERFUL LEADERS IN THE WORLD...CHIT CHATTING ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE THE HUMAN SITUATION ON THE PLANET EARTH.

I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE TRANSCRIPTS AND NOTE ONE MORE TIME....

THAT LEDs DON'T GET MENTIONED

COULD BAD COACHING EXTEND TO EVERY CORNER OF THE LAND?

IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS SINCE I COACHED AND I'M REALLY FEELING THE URGE
TO
GET BACK
IN THE
GAME

WHAT GAME.....IS THE ONLY QUESTION

THE LED GAME SEEMS TO BE AT HAND.

PLAY BALL

FIRE ALL THE COACHES AND MANAGERS AND START BUILDING A PROGRAM FROM COMMON SENSE AND INTELLECTUAL PARAMETERS....WHICH INCLUDES THE SIMPLE CONCEPT..... OF.....
BEING INFORMED
OF THE MOST CURRENT
INNOVATIONS....IN BOTH TECHNOLOGY AND IMAGINATION....AND SHARING
THAT INFORMATION WITH
ALL THE PLAYERS.....
which
includes
YOU
and
me


MICHAEL TIMOTHY MC ALEVEY

ABAYA DOO.......not

I've been rather lackadaisical in my focus on OTHER players in the Global Market but since the G-8 meeting gets underway tomorrow in Germany...I thought I'd devote some time and energy somewhere else besides China, Iraq and Darfur.
I've been thinking about this for a few days and wondering where I should travel with my MIND JAZZ.
Then this morning I wake up and on the front page of the LA TIMES(6-6-07) is a story by a woman reporter named MEGAN K. STACK.

I highly suggest that you read the entire article because it's not often that one gets reminded that living with the Flintstones can be a current event.

Saudi Arabia is our ally and trusted friend.

I keep remembering that 16 of the 19 terrorists that destroyed the World Trade Center were Saudi nationals.

Saudi Arabia is our ally and trusted friend.

Women in Saudi Arabia not only can't vote.....they are so brainwashed that they can't understand why women would actually want to vote.

Saudi Arabia is our ally and trusted friend.

Starbucks in Saudi Arabia has special rooms for women to drink their coffee designated as "family sections."

Saudi Arabia is our ally and trusted friend.

Women wear ABAYA's because men in Saudi Arabia have no control over their most primal instincts.....absolutely NO CONTROL.....NONE. Men in Saudi Arabia can't even look at women without attacking them and committing acts of sexual violence.
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE? Why would women be required to cover up except for the simple fact that men just simply can't control their most animalistic desires.

HAS SAUDI ARABIA NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE NEWS.....??????

THAT ACTING OUT EVERY MENTAL OR PHYSICAL URGE IS A SIGN OF CRO-MAGNUM AND NEANDERTHAL BEHAVIOR....AND THAT THE CURRENT LEVEL OF HUMAN EVOLUTION DOESN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THE EXISTENCE OF SUCH PRIMITIVE BEHAVIOR........oh, except in Saudi Arabia and every other backward thinking society that adheres to the principle that women need to be covered up so that men don't attack them.

Saudi Arabia is our ally and trusted friend.

Just picture for one second.....it's November 2008 and Bill Clinton's wife has just been elected President of the United States of America. She plans a visit to Saudi Arabia and has to decide on what color her ABAYA will be.....hummm....let's see.....light fuscia or periwinkle blue.......hummmm. She arrives in Riyadh and wants to stop for a Venti Latte, with no foam, at the local Starbucks. She's told that she needs to go into the "family section." She looks around at the men who won't look at her because they will want to have sex if they see her face......ok, ok....stop laughing....seriously......the men of Saudi Arabia cannot control their desires no matter what the woman looks like.......I guess. Maybe they are just trying to cover up the women's faces because they are so ugly....which presents a different problem based on something called beauty's only skin deep...or blah blah blah.......any way she looks around the room and decides at that moment that SOLAR POWERED CARS and LED LIGHTING AND WIND TURBINES are actually the only things that make sense.

And suddenly Saudi Arabia is not our ally and not our trusted friend.....because a decision has just been made to not buy what they are selling.....

WHETHER IT BE A BARREL OF OIL .....OR A PERIWINKLE BLUE OR BLACK
ABAYA

However one looks at it......Saudi Arabia is our ally and trusted friend until
they
are
not!

I think the men should start wearing ABAYA's....over their f..king uncontrollable ID'S.

SAUDI ARABIA IS OUR ALLY AND TRUSTED FRIEND UNTIL A WOMAN ENTERS THE ROOM......
AND THEN THEY ARE A DINOSAUR THAT BECAME EXTINCT
60 MILLION YEARS AGO.

FRIENDS AND ALLIES....and I think how often we put down the French and I never hear any crap about Saudi Arabia.....because they have a little thing called.....oil.

If you had the choice......live in PARIS or live in RIYADH?

Stop beating up the French when there really are other places that need our attention....or actually.... need a lot less of our attention (dollars) until they join the modern world.

ABAYA DABBA DOO.....not!
