This is Mitt's core belief.....we've seen where this leads
Robert Reich's FACEBOOK post on 11/4/12

•
• It's time for a final summary of the worldview of Mitt Romney. Despite its contradictions and ellipses, Romneyism, as this creed might be called, has an internal coherence. Here are its ten core principles:
1. Corporations are the basic units of society. Corporations are people, and the overriding purpose of an economy is to maximize corporate profits. When profits are maximized, the economy grows fastest. This growth benefits everyone in the form greater output, better products and services, and higher share prices.
2. Workers are a means to the goal of maximizing corporate profits. If workers do not contribute to that goal, they should be fired. If they cannot then find other work that helps maximize profits in another company, their wages must be too high, and they must therefore accept steadily lower wages until they find a job.
3. All factors of production – capital, physical plant and equipment, workers – are fungible and should be treated the same. Any that fail to deliver high competitive returns should be replaced or discarded. This keeps an economy efficient. Fairness is and should be irrelevant.
4. Pollution, unsafe products, unsafe working conditions, financial fraud, and other negative side effects of the pursuit of profits are the price society pays for profit-driven growth. They should not be used as excuses to constrain the pursuit of profits through regulation.
5. Individual worth depends on net worth — how much money one has made, and the value of the assets that money has been invested in. Any person with enough intelligence and ambition can make a fortune. Failure to do so is sign of moral and intellectual inferiority.
6. People who fail in the economy should not be coddled. They should not receive food stamps, Medicaid, or any other form of social subsidy. Coddling leads to a weaker society and a weaker economy.
7. Taxes are inherently bad because they constrain profit-making. It is the right and responsibility of individuals and corporations to exploit every tax loophole they (and their tax attorneys) can find in order to pay the lowest taxes possible.
8. Politics is a game whose only purpose is to win. Any means used to win the game is legitimate even if it involves lying and cheating, as long as it gains more supporters than it loses.
9. Democracy is dangerous because it is forever vulnerable to the votes of a majority intent on capturing the wealth of the successful minority, on whom the economy depends. The rich must therefore do whatever is necessary to prevent the majority from exercising its will, including spending large sums of money on lobbyists and political campaigns. The most virtuous among the rich will go a step further and run for president.
10. The three most important aspects of life are family, religion, and money. Patriotism is a matter of guarding our economy from unfair traders and undocumented immigrants, rather than joining together for the common good. We owe nothing to one another as citizens of the same society.
On Tuesday America will decide whether these ten ideas should be the guiding principles of the nation.

Storms, stars and ignorance
Sandy has really changed the focus of the 2012 Presidential Election and that's the way is should be when so many people are suffering.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/31/us/federal-aid-authorized-for-storm-victims-in-new-york-and-new-jersey.html?_r=0
I've read a few posts on Facebook and heard a few comments from the right side of the aisle. Rumor has been floating from the right (very wrong) side claiming that Obama hasn't done right by the victims of Sandy.
It's obviously a political move to make people think that Obama is acting like Bush did in New Orleans.
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of NYC, has endorsed Obama within the last few days. Chris Christie, the gov of New Jersey, has said that Obama has been extremely involved in making sure the funds will be available.
MONEY is the key to helping rebuild the area and Federal funding is already being directed toward the devastated areas.
Last night on NBC a group of musicians and Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon reached out and asked for $10 from everybody. The stars should have let us know what they were donating so that our $10 would seem trivial. Their plea for help was simply to get people feeling good about doing something to help.
EACH ONE OF THOSE WORLD CLASS, AND VERY RICH MUSICIANS, COULD DONATE A MILLION DOLLARS EACH....AND PROBABLY DID....BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE NUMBERS.
IF ONE MILLION PEOPLE SENT $10 EACH THEN THAT'S 10 MILLION DOLLARS GOING TO THE RED CROSS.
10 MILLION PEOPLE=$100,000,000
The numbers I hear regarding damage adds up to $50 BILLION.
Total cost of this years presidential election....$6 BILLION.
BOTH PARTIES SHOULD BE ASHAMED AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY BEING SPENT BUT THEN AGAIN WHAT PRICE CAN BE PUT ON SUPREME COURT SLOTS?
Four of the judges are in their 70's so the next president could get a big head's up regarding the future of America.
I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE WAS FOR SUPREME COURT NOMINATIONS. IT'S A CRAP SHOOT BUT EACH PARTY WANTS TO BE IN CONTROL WHEN THE SUPREME DUCKS START FALLING IN THE FEDERAL POND OF LAWS.
THE COURT'S RULING LAST YEAR THAT ALLOWED UNLIMITED CORPORATE CONTRIBUTIONS TO POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS HAS CHANGED THE PLAYING FIELD INTO A SUPER PAC HELL.
I think the current election atmosphere helped generate an additional level of chaos to Sandy's natural demeanor and although I can't prove, it I'm sure I'm right.
JUST LIKE THE CANDIDATES SEEM SO CONVINCED ABOUT THEIR POSITIONS.
TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY LEAD TO JOB GROWTH MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST CROOK OF SHIT I'VE EVER HEARD.
TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY LEAD TO MORE WEALTH. PERIOD!
And by the way....how come neither party during the election talks about huge corporations not paying taxes?
GE PAID NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX IN 2011
NONE!
Both sides are in the pockets of huge corporations but one side seems to own most of those corporations so I'm going with the other side who just wants to give food, money and services to poor people and hungry children.
I read the other day that 90 million eligible voters won't vote.
SANDY has nothing to do with apathy and ignorance......and the fact that 90 million people won't vote is a much bigger problem than anything Sandy blew our way.

Borrowed from Citizens of ESA
Dear Red States:
We're ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics and we've
decided we're leaving.
We in New York intend to form our own country and we're taking the other
Blue States with us.
In case you aren't aware that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon,
Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the rest of the
Northeast.
We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to
the people of the new country of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A).
To sum up briefly:
You get Texas, Oklahoma and all Kansas-type states
We get stem cell research and the best beaches.
We get Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren. You get Bobby Jindal and Todd
Akin.
We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand.
We get* Intel* and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.
We get Harvard, MIT,Princeton, Penn, Haverford, Colgate, U of R)*,. You get
U of Texas
We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs.
You get Florida.
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay
their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian
Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single
parents.
With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the
country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of
the nation's fresh fruit, *95% of America's quality wines* (you can serv
French wines at state dinners) 90% of all cheese, 90 percent of the high
tech industry, most of the US low sulfur coal, all living redwoods,
sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Yale, Stanford, and Cal Tech
With the Red States you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americansand their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly
100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists,
virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University,
Clemson and the University of Georgia.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.
38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a
whale, 62% believe life at conception is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty
or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was
involved in 9/11, and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with
higher morals then we lefties.
So we're taking the good weed too. You can have that crap they grow in Mexico.
Sincerely,
Citizen of the Enlightened States of America

A different direction from the election
Never broken ©
I listen to the latest swift and I wonder why
The words aren’t mine and they make me laugh and cry
I used to write songs with similar type lines
And yet our world is gender divided by multiple strange times
It’s odd it’s crazy it’s a universal joke
But at least I know now that I can’t be broke
Oh yeah I can be harmed and cut to the bone
But never broken and never alone
It’s been years since someone made me write a rhyming line
I thought I had moved past the silly and sublime
But then I listen to swift and it makes me recall
That what I used to do wasn’t silly at all
It’s just a hidden part that came out naturally
And then tucked itself just as fast back inside of me
It never went away because it wasn’t really there
It just didn’t want to play out in the clean fresh air
Stuck behind a script an article a piece of art or a blog
The rhyming timing events were just sleeping like a log
Hoyt used to summon the lines by just being himself
And now from nowhere swift shares the wealth
It’s odd it’s crazy it’s a universal joke
But at least I know now that I can’t be broke
Oh yeah I can be harmed and cut to the bone
But never broken and never alone

Electorial Collge and SAPER RATTLING
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2012/ecalculator#?battleground
Click on the above link and you can get an idea of where the country stands with ten days left in the 2012 Presidential election.
I'M MUCH MORE CONCERNED WITH WHAT THE COUNTRY BELIEVES TO BE FACTUAL INFORMATION
AS
OPPOSED
TO
FLAT OUT
SABER RATTLING AND REPUBLICAN
BULLSHIT
Our defense budget is $901 BILLION annually.
PEOPLE THAT HEAR ROMNEY CLAIM OBAMA IS CUTTING A TRILLION DOLLARS FROM THE DEFENSE BUDGET THINK THE ANNUAL BUDGET IS TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
OUR ENTIRE FEDERAL BUDGET IS SLIGHTLY OVER $3 TRILLION......
A CUT OF A TRILLION DOLLARS WILL TAKE PLACE OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD
UNLESS
THERE
IS
A
NATIONAL EMERGENCY
AND
THEN
IT WILL
GO UP
AGAIN
ROMNEY IS TELLING PEOPLE THAT OUR SAFETY IS AT RISK BECAUSE OF THE CUTS
OBAMA'S DEFENSE SPENDING SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE IS THE HIGHEST IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/draghi/defense%20budget.jpg
http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/defense_chart_30.html
ROMNEY IS TELLING PEOPLE THAT OUR NAVY IS WEAK AND THAT IT WAS BIGGER IN 1916
SERIOUSLY!
AND PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT BULLSHIT AND I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IT THINK THE WIZARD OF OZ WAS BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
In 1916 the Department of the Navy had O aircraft and 0 navy seals and 0 aircraft carries and o submarines and o nuclear bombs and 0 satellites and EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT AND YET THEY THINK OUR NAVY IS SMALLER THAN IT WAS IN 1916 BECAUSE MITT ROMNEY SAID IT WAS AND HE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND HE WOULDN'T BULLSHIT US.
GUESS WHAT?
HE'S USING A TACTIC THAT APPEALS TO PEOPLE WHO AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION EXCEPT FOR TWO WEEKS BEFORE AN ELECTION.
HE IS USING OLD FASHION
BULLSHIT!
The truth of the matter is that we are so vastly superior to everyone else that we actually sell our weapons to other countries. at international trade shows. We don't need millions of foot soldiers anymore because we have drones and fighter jets and stealth bombers and anyone that is worried that we can't put the same amount of soldiers on the ground that China or Russia could, needs to wake up and realize that ground soldiers don't matter anymore.....unless there are 15 of them and they are called Navy Seals.
OUR NAVY IS LARGER THAN THE NEXT 13 NAVIES COMBINED.....AND 11 OF THOSE NAVIES ARE FRIENDS OF OURS.
TO SABER RATTLE IN THE YEAR 2012 LIKE ROMNEY IS DOING TRULY MAKES ME WORRIED ABOUT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC'S LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.
THE ONLY REASON HE IS DOING THE SABER RATTLING IS BECAUSE HE KNOWS PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THE NUMBERS INVOLVED
AND
I'M
SCARED
TO
DEATH
BECAUSE HE MIGHT BE RIGHT ABOUT THE AMERICAN VOTER'S LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.......AND A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF VOTERS IN THIS ELECTION WILL VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY BECAUSE
THEY DON'T WANT A WEAK
DEFENSE SYSTEM
WE DON'T HAVE A WEAK DEFENSE SYSTEM
AND
WE
NEVER
WILL
Electing someone who uses this out dated cold war tool of persuasion is ludicrous!
AND HONESTLY.....MITT ROMNEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED!
I, on the other hand, am ashamed that a large portion of the American public is actually being swayed by well groomed Mormon snake oil salesman.
I thought collectively that the people of the United States were much better informed.
60 years of television didn't really seem to help educate the masses.
I suddenly feel like it's 1972.....but looking at the Electoral College Map I have to believe that Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida have enough educated people to tilt this election in a direction that allows for our obvious economic recovery to continue after the great recession of 2008.
I HAVE TO BELIEVE.......

It seems like yesterday
In 1972 the mood of the country had a slight edge....or better yet....edgy.....feeling. It seemed that the entire youth of America was generally pissed off. YOUTH BEING ANYONE UNDER 30. The President of the United States appeared to be the most unpopular person in America. The candidate running against him had a reputation as a peace-loving liberal who generally cared about his fellow human beings.
The Democratic candidate was George McGovern and I and millions of other young people were positive that the country knew what a RealDick was, and that George was the type of person to change the direction of our war hungry nation.
POSITIVE!
We had just finished the decade of assassinations, moon landings and student upheaval and everything just screamed at the new direction our country would take. A time of peace and a time of love....and most important a time of no more war.
POSITIVE!
WOW......THE MARGIN OF DEFEAT WAS DEVASTATING AND SENT THOSE OF US WHO WERE POSITIVE INTO A
SLUMP
THAT IN MY OPINION HAS LASTED TO THIS VERY DAY.
IT BLEW OUR MINDS
The margin of defeat simply stunned an entire generation into shock.
HOW COULD THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS NOT SEE WHAT RICHARD NIXON WAS.....
A PARANOID SNAKE EYED CRAZY DUDE
AND HOW COULD THEY NOT SEE THAT GEORGE MC GOVERN WAS A HONEST INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEING WHO WANTED ORDER RESTORED THROUGH COMPASSION AND LOVE.
WE WERE POSITIVE THAT GEORGE WOULD KICK DICK'S ASS AND AMERICA WOULD BE BACK ON TRACK.
POSITIVE!
I'm fairly certain that George was aware of polls and numbers and realities that gave him no chance in hell of winning but I don't remember anything that indicated what the margin of defeat would be.
I THOUGHT EVERYBODY HATED RICHARD NIXON
I THOUGHT EVERYBODY LOVED GEORGE MC GOVERN
OBVIOUSLY I AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE FROM MY GENERATION WERE SIMPLY
WAY
TOO
HIGH
There's no other explanation.
George McGovern passed away yesterday.
I've used the following expression 500 times in my life and will continue to use it every time I make a sports or political prediction
...."but keep in mind that I thought McGovern would kick Nixon's ass in 72, so obviously I have no idea what's going on."
George McGovern lived a full and involved life and I'm sure he changed levels with no regrets..
He shall always hold a special place in my life....but then again always and positive are words that might originate from the same source.
That source might be the Land of Fantasy!
I know that land quite well
RIP George!

Polls are not jokes but they also aren't exact science
Study these for a few minutes and then ask yourself why does it matter
when undecided voters seem to be the crucial participants....AND THEY DON'T
EXACTLY POLL WELL BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE UP THEIR FREAKIN MINDS.
Please note..... there is always a 3-5% error in polling. The pollsters don't call it an error but an error is an error and we are the final scorekeepers.

I took a poll the other day at the golf course and it turns out that most golfers are Republican which would explain the enormous balls that must be involved for that party to blame Obama for ALL our financial woes. A recession was in affect when he took office and it was so large THEY called it the Great Recession.
I still haven't heard anybody give a specific time table for how long a recovery takes from a Great Recession.
3 1/2 years seems short.
The Republicans don't want the recovery to take place NOW
And all of their actions make that statement very very clear.
Of course they want the White House because the recovery IS taking place and the next two years will see a huge surge in unemployment reduction AND debt reduction.

when undecided voters seem to be the crucial participants....AND THEY DON'T
EXACTLY POLL WELL BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE UP THEIR FREAKIN MINDS.
Please note..... there is always a 3-5% error in polling. The pollsters don't call it an error but an error is an error and we are the final scorekeepers.

I took a poll the other day at the golf course and it turns out that most golfers are Republican which would explain the enormous balls that must be involved for that party to blame Obama for ALL our financial woes. A recession was in affect when he took office and it was so large THEY called it the Great Recession.
I still haven't heard anybody give a specific time table for how long a recovery takes from a Great Recession.
3 1/2 years seems short.
The Republicans don't want the recovery to take place NOW
And all of their actions make that statement very very clear.
Of course they want the White House because the recovery IS taking place and the next two years will see a huge surge in unemployment reduction AND debt reduction.

Just a Chart that needs viewing
THIS
UNTIL
IT
MAKES SENSE
then realize that the 2012 chart has moved back toward the top line

Sun is setting on intolerance but its still a little tilted
It doesn't really do any good to hear what the candidates have to say because they have to be so guarded in their opinions that everything gets watered down with doublespeak and spinverbiage.
LISTENING TO THE DEBATES MAKES ME CRAZY...but I do it. They never actaully answer
the questions.
I judge action and am cautious of verbalpoliticalbullshit.
I read more than I hear.
I most definitely am not smarter than anyone else......I just see a little deeper.
What I truly notice, that nobody seems to be bringing up, is that INTOLERANCE is moving toward its final resting place. It might take another 100 years but it really is going to be a thing that people remember....not experience. Especially in countries that have chosen to emphasise the importance of each individuals freedom and liberty. And by each I mean...........every man, woman and child.
As the next stage of human evolution continues to develop there is truly no place for INTOLERANCE.
Of course I'm referring to INTOLERANCE that is directed toward personal human behavior that harms no one other than the person conducing the behavior.
I see and hear things in this election that border on the edge of REALLY UGLY.
UGLY applies to hate, intolerance, revenge.
I suppose previous elections have had bits and pieces of UGLY but this seems different.
WHY IT SEEMS DIFFERENT MUST BE VIEWED FROM THE VERY CORE OF OUR NATURE.
THE CENTER OF OUR BEINGS.
THE PLACE WHERE LOVE IS BORN AND WHERE IT RESIDES EVERY SINGLE WAKING MOMENT OF OUR LIVES.
AT THE CENTER OF OUR BEINGS IS THE CREATOR
AND
THERE IS NO
SPACE
IN THE
CENTER
FOR
HATE
INTOLERANCE
AND
REVENGE
When hate, intolerance and revenge tries to exist at the center.....everything gets
discombobulated, fuzzy and strange.
We get glimpses of both perfection and chaos because we are human and there's a whole bunch of area outside of the center that make up our entire mass.
WE
ALL
END
UP
IN
THE
CENTER
SOME JUST GET THERE SOONER THAN OTHERS
SOME NEVER GET THERE UNTIL PHYSICAL REALITY IS GONE
EVERYBODY GETS A PEAK FROM TIME TO TIME
and
everything works perfect
every time
sometimes

This is really strange and maybe a little funny
The other day I made my first face since the CVA. Keep in mind that when I make one of these images it's done in a matter of seconds.
No thought....just design.
Matter of seconds!
(I do female faces that are a bit more serious and side views of male faces that are cartoonish, but this style of face emerged during the same time period that Mark Zuckerburg was developing Facebook in his Harvard dorm in 2003. I ended up with 75 silly faces and Mark ended up with 25 billion dollars.....thus the difference between algorithms and art)
I looked at the face and was rather stunned. The CVA has left me with no peripheral vision on the left side.
That almost completely closed eye in the drawing is my left eye.
When I showed my physical therapist the drawing she immediately said that I should do more because they were a good exercise.
I explained about the series I had done in 2003...and that the one above was simply created on a whim in one of my journals. She stated once more that as a physical therapist she couldn't think of a better exercise then to do this type of work.
The fact that she called it work made me feel really really good.
I honestly thought that I had exhausted this particular period of "goofy faces" but perhaps I should listen to the medical expert and start another series.
Maybe go much much much BIGGER.
There is a moral to this story and it centers on the fact that when one has a negative experience which affects physical or mental abilities, it is very important to re-enter the arena
of experience and make it happen captain.
I'm really going to try and make a mountain out of a molehill.
Things could get very interesting.

Detroit, Oakland, New York, Baltimore, Dallas/Ft.Worth,Atlanta,Washington D.C.,Cincinnati and St. Louis
The cities listed above are not as concerned with the Presidential debates because for a few more days their attention is turned to something much more important. Hopefully their attention won't end until late October and early November but that privilege will only be shared by the two cities who get to experience the World Series.
My silly prediction is.......Washington vs Detroit....but it will probably be New York vs San Francisco
POST SEASON BASEBALL...or as Derek Jeter says, "The REAL season now begins."
Of course there is a large contingent of people in each of those locals that couldn't care less about baseball but I'm guessing those people who don't care about baseball.....are commies and idiots....or convicted felons and the fanatics of the religious right.
Obvioulsy I place baseball fairly high on the list of things people should like.
My guess is that not too many Mormons care about baseball and that won't change until Salt Lake City gets a franchise and that won't happen until the Elders decide they need a team to go along with their Mormon President and that won't happen unless Barack Obama forgets to explain why things are they way they are.
EXAMPLE:
Romney keeps saying the following fact:
47 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ON FOOD STAMPS
23 MILLION WHEN OBAMA TOOK OVER
REASON
Because after the fiscal collapse of 2008, millions of people were hurting and the reason they are on food stamps is because
THEY NEED FOOD
IS ROMNEY GOING TO REJECT ALL FOOD STAMP REQUEST FROM THE 24 MILLION PEOPLE WHO NEED FOOD JUST TO GET BACK TO 2008 NUMBERS?
This is just small excerpt from one study:
Every day, children in every county in the United States wake up hungry. They go to school hungry. They turn out the lights at night hungry.
That is one of the stunning key findings of a new study to be released Thursday by Feeding America, a network of 200 food banks and the largest hunger charity in the country.
As many as 17 million children nationwide are struggling with what is known as food insecurity. To put it another way, one in four children in the country is living without consistent access to enough nutritious food to live a healthy life, according to the study, "Map the Meal Child Food Insecurity 2011."
www.feedthechildren.org
Anyone who has their eyes open knows that hunger is a problem in this country and especially for children. There shouldn't be one child going to bed hungry at night in The United States of America and there are MILLIONS
OBAMA NEEDS TO JAM SOME FOOD INFO DOWN MITT'S THROAT
and then Mitt keeps saying that Obama plans on cutting 2 TRILLION dollars from the military budget.
The annual military budget is around $700 BILLION AND THAT IS TEN TIMES WHAT THE CHINESE SPEND so any trimming from the military will still leave us with a massive and aggressive edge on any other country.
Since we are officially the Wyatt Earp of planet Earth we need to have the biggest and best of every military toy....AND WE DO.....WITH PLENTY LEFT OVER.
THE MILITARY SPENDING CUTS THAT OBAMA ANNOUNCED IN 2011 WOULD TOTAL $400 BILLION AND WOULD TAKE AFFECT OVER A 12 YEAR PERIOD.
WE'VE ALL HEARD ABOUT OVER BILLING IN THE MILITARY AND REDUNDANCY SHOULD ACTUALLY BE A RANK. Have you forgotten about the $700 hammers and the $12,000 toilets?
REDUNDANCY OFFICER should be right behind Major.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WAR COST ARE NOT PART OF THE MILITARY BUDGET so when those events finally do end there will be a huge savings to the overall debt numbers.
OBAMA NEEDS TO EXPLAIN WHY THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE!
He truly acted like he didn't want to be in Denver last night and Mitt on the other hand was pumped and ready to go......but it's not a one debate game.....it's a three quarters game and I have to believe that Barack has the conditioning in place to finish extremely strong......BUT
PRESIDENT OBAMA NEEDS TO EXPLAIN WHY THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE!
In the meantime.....let's
PLAY BALL!

CVA, RNA and longest break since I started
I entered the blogosphere on Christmas Day 2006 and this was the longest I've been away from it. I think I have a fairly valid excuse. I'm not going to go into too much detail but if you are interested simply Google CVA.........and look for the topic having to deal with health related issues.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke
Suffice to say, the final words from the Neurologist, as I was leaving the hospital were.....RESUME NORMAL ACTIVITY. I told her I was a marathon runner and she replied that at least I still had my sense of humor....I then started to explain that it was irony not humor and she called security.
After three days in the beautiful new Santa Monica Hilton Hospital (all rooms are single and the wing just opened a year ago) I finally got to see the pictures of my incident. I will be able to get a disk of all 188 pictures captured by the MRI machine when I pick up my records this week.
The incident happened at the golf course on 9/11/12 and was entirely visual related. No fainting no blackouts....just blank spots and lots of color patterns. I think it was a terrorist attack but I have no concrete proof. One week later I returned to the same course and played 18 holes.
I shot 238 but I finished the round.
Seriously I shot 84....which is considered normal for me.....I shoot lower but I also shoot higher so 84 with a CVA incident is quite acceptable.
I have a left side peripheral vision issue and an occasional Christmas tree light show in that same area. I can read and I can write.....well, maybe not write right but then again there's always been a question regarding writing well or writing right or whether what I do is considered writing. Probably the most important thing is that.......I can still dance.
I do know that what I'm able to do, with letters, is convey my point of view and over the last six years MIND JAZZ has, at the very least, proven to be an extension of what I find to be true.
Yes that line rhymes and you might want to read it again and a little faster....or never read it again.
It's possible that everything could get much more colorful in my life and if you have seen my artwork than you might simply ask.....HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE POSSIBLE? If you haven't seen my artwork than what are you even doing here reading this blog? Get outa here.....go away or I call the Blogspot Google Police and have you apprehended.
Having a CVA incident is kinda like being 90....you can say anything you want and just follow it up with.....oh excuse me I had a stroke.
To be honest I think I had my first CVA incident at a Rolling Stones concert in 1968
I will use the CVA term much more often than the word stroke.....for obvious reasons. Very similar to the Changing Levels vs Dead phraseology. Soft stroking language games....no pun intended.
I start optical therapy next week and perhaps the left side peripheral vision will improve but the way neurons work in the brain I have a feeling that the therapy will be focused on how to deal with my new visual reality.
*************************************************
I do look at the scores in the paper on Monday morning.
I JUST REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T WRITE A BLOG ABOUT WHY I'M BOYCOTTING THE NFL REGULAR SEASON.
OMG...... I WOULD HAVE SWORN I WROTE ABOUT IT.....BUT THEN I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF THAT I'VE HAD A.........A) CVA
B) STROKE
I'm boycotting the watching of regular season NFL games because the owners of the teams, of which 90% are extremely wealthy Republicans, decided to start the season on a Wednesday night for the first time in the history of the NFL.
THAT WEDNESDAY JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE SECOND NIGHT OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.....WHEN FORMER PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON WAS GIVING HIS KEYNOTE ADDRESS.
The powers that be in the Republican party say that they moved it from Thursday in respect for President Obama......and the reason they didn't move it to FRIDAY???????????????
THOSE YOKELS HAD FOUR YEARS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN THE CONVENTION WOULD CONVENE AND ADJOURN.
TO SCHEDULE THAT GAME ON A THURSDAY OR A WEDNESDAY DURING AN ELECTION YEAR IS A BLATANT ACT OF DISRESPECT AND SMELLS LIKE A KARL ROWE MOMENT. I'M SURE THERE'S AN ARMY OF REPUBLICAN KARL ROWE WANNABE DICKHEADS WHO JUST SIT AROUND THINKING OF HOW TO DISRUPT THE POLITICAL PROCESS AND TILT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE VERY WRONG RIGHT.
All I can do is make a very small statement. The playoffs will occur well after the election and if the Republicans win the White House I might never watch another professional game. I really do have better things to do with my time.....and so do you....because after everything is said and done.....the amount of time we do have in this physical reality portion of our life.....can be much better spent than watching well conditioned fully armored athletes try to avoid being injured on every single play.
College football is another story and where my entire 2012 football focus will be centered. Of course it's only centered on one team located across the street from the LA Coliseum.
Go Trojans
Stay back CVA's

I'm happy to report that my boycott of watching NFL regular season games is still going strong, although I'm pretty sure I might be going solo. I think Tom Sullivan might be on board but it's a small movement. Watching football games on Monday night, Thursday night and Sunday day and night really is a tremendous waste of time. I can be running down the beach having another CVA incident instead of couped up inside. I think about the time watching Concussion City over the years and I feel somewhat ashamed. I have done many pieces of art while watching the games so I have a slight line of defense.....obviously much better than the Rams. My boycott has not been tested by a televised Ram game so I still have that hurdle to encounter.
I do look at the scores in the paper on Monday morning.
I JUST REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T WRITE A BLOG ABOUT WHY I'M BOYCOTTING THE NFL REGULAR SEASON.
OMG...... I WOULD HAVE SWORN I WROTE ABOUT IT.....BUT THEN I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF THAT I'VE HAD A.........A) CVA
B) STROKE
I'm boycotting the watching of regular season NFL games because the owners of the teams, of which 90% are extremely wealthy Republicans, decided to start the season on a Wednesday night for the first time in the history of the NFL.
THAT WEDNESDAY JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE SECOND NIGHT OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.....WHEN FORMER PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON WAS GIVING HIS KEYNOTE ADDRESS.
The powers that be in the Republican party say that they moved it from Thursday in respect for President Obama......and the reason they didn't move it to FRIDAY???????????????
THOSE YOKELS HAD FOUR YEARS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN THE CONVENTION WOULD CONVENE AND ADJOURN.
TO SCHEDULE THAT GAME ON A THURSDAY OR A WEDNESDAY DURING AN ELECTION YEAR IS A BLATANT ACT OF DISRESPECT AND SMELLS LIKE A KARL ROWE MOMENT. I'M SURE THERE'S AN ARMY OF REPUBLICAN KARL ROWE WANNABE DICKHEADS WHO JUST SIT AROUND THINKING OF HOW TO DISRUPT THE POLITICAL PROCESS AND TILT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE VERY WRONG RIGHT.
All I can do is make a very small statement. The playoffs will occur well after the election and if the Republicans win the White House I might never watch another professional game. I really do have better things to do with my time.....and so do you....because after everything is said and done.....the amount of time we do have in this physical reality portion of our life.....can be much better spent than watching well conditioned fully armored athletes try to avoid being injured on every single play.
College football is another story and where my entire 2012 football focus will be centered. Of course it's only centered on one team located across the street from the LA Coliseum.
Go Trojans
Stay back CVA's

Deja vu two
A few years ago I wrote a piece about Voyager leaving our solar system. I realize there are two Voyagers but they were both launched in 1977 so they can't be too far apart even though V2 is on a slower trajectory. Keep in mind 100,000 miles is a very short distance when dancing through space.
Obviously I'm quite confused because yesterday it was reported that Voyager 1 is getting ready to "leave the bubble."
The "BUBBLE" refers to the hellopause which sits outside the hellosheath which rests outside the termination shock zone.
I THOUGHT THAT PARTICULAR EVENT OCCURRED A FEW YEARS AGO and if I take time to research my archives I'm pretty sure I can locate the story.
OF COURSE I COULD BE EXPERIENCING A HUGE SLICE OF DEJA VU....but it's so hard to tell during election years because EVERYTHING seems to be a deja vu.
In fact....I think I wrote that line 5 years ago.
Voyager 1 is 11.3 BILLION miles from the sun and apparently is getting very close to exiting our teeny tiny solar system, BUT (AND THIS IS HUGE BUTT....EVEN BIGGER THAN J'LO) scientists don't know where the edge of the solar system is......BUT....(lots of butts here) they think the spacecraft MUST be getting close.
HUH?
They don't know where the edge is but Voyager must be getting close.
There appears to be some scientific guessing involved in when the actual event might happen so I don't feel so bad about thinking that it already happened because maybe it did happen and those brainiacs just forgot. No one ever said science was an exact science.
One of the nice sidebars to the traveling Voyager show is that IT carries a record of human experiences on the planet Earth.....and maybe a little moon tale.
It's a GOLDEN RECORD and it looks like this......
...........and I swear to God that I've never seen this image before and I can show you a few paintings of mine that look quite similar.
Of course anyone suffering from repeated sessions of Deja Vu could be potentially stealing anything and everything over and over and over.
A few years ago I wrote a piece about Voyager leaving our solar.....OMG it's happening again....I am so sorry and I am so sorry and I am so sor------------stop it!
I'm pretty sure this anomaly is caused by the election frenzy that is just heating up.
THE BEST THING I'VE HEARD SO FAR FROM EITHER PARTY IS THE DEAL PRESIDENT OBAMA MADE WITH THE AUTOMOBILE COMPANIES WHEN HE BAILED THEM OUT.
THE DEAL CONCERNS THE MILES PER GALLEON THAT NEW CARS MUST REACH BY TWO DIFFERENT DATES
34 MPG BY 2016 AND 50 BY 2024
THIS IS A HUGE STORY AND ONE THAT DOESN'T GET TOLD ENOUGH.
I HAVE HEARD THAT MITT WOULD GET RID OF IT IF HE IS ELECTED.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE WANT TO REVERSE THAT AGREEMENT?
WHY? (it's not that hard to answer)
I MUST BE WRONG......THE REPUBLICAN PARTY COULDN'T BE THAT STUPID
COULD THEY?
Since they don't believe in Global Warming maybe they don't believe in good gas mileage....and it follows that they don't believe Voyager will ever leave our solar system. They don't know why so many people are on food stamps and they don't believe health care should be available to everyone....and they don't believe rich people should pay higher taxes....and I hate to say it....but they don't seem to think an African American could, should or would ever be elected President of the USA. There appears to be a certain type of hate that is much different than how we felt about GW. Democrats thought Bush goofy. Republicans actually seem to hate Obama. BIG DIFFERENCE in how the two parties operate. I remember actually hating Nixon so I remember the attitude....but I grew to be a more loving and tolerant person. The Republican party sppears to be headed to a place that I would describe as.....ugly.
I really believe I've written all of this before so maybe it's.....
deja vu two too......

Pay very close attention to this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odawwsxa1mU
I told someone to download the speech by Clint and tell me what they thought of the throat cutting gesture from his RNC speech.
I was told it was not in the speech.
I had taped the entire evening on my DVR machine so I went back and watched it, and lo and behold, IT WASN'T THERE. I started wondering if I had made it up and then went on YouTube and typed in the actual phrase....
Throat cutting gesture by Clint Eastwood and wham bam...there it was. I replayed my recording once more and at the moment where he does the gesture............there's a shot of the crowd.
MY DVR VERSION HAD BEEN TAMPERED WITH AND THEN I REALIZED IT HAD TO BE DONE IN THE CLOUD OF DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDING FOR EVERYONE WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE RECORDED THE LIVE EVENT.
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A FEW MINUTES!
MY LIVE RECORDING WAS ALTERED!
I TALKED TO FIVE REPUBLICANS TODAY THAT CLAIM THEY DIDN'T SEE THE GESTURE DURING HIS SPEECH.
It's like a giant cloud conspiracy and it extends to every Republican in the land.
OUR RECORDINGS CAN BE ALTERED WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION
WHO DO YOU THINK CAN CONTROL THAT TYPE OF ACTION?
Secret Service, NSA, FBI, CIA......Jason Bourne, Microsoft?????????????????????????
I'm in shock and this is so much bigger than Clint's irresponsible gesture.
This type of action would even surprise Mr. Orwell
WOW!

Get off my lawn
Grand Torino might be my favorite non-western Clint Eastwood movie and his stand up routine at the RNC might be my least favorite performance. I'm not saying it wasn't entertaining because when all is said and done, it was easily the most compelling moment I've seen at a national convention in a very long time. There use to be a tension as votes were cast but I can't remember the last time that happened.
Clint stole the show and the proof of that was in the after shows on various networks. The only thing they were talking about was Mr. Eastwood. Mr. Romney was an afterthought.
It was great prime time television but I found one moment very disturbing. When Clint said we should get rid of the man in office who wasn't doing the job....he made a slice the throat gesture.
Knowing how whacky fans can get, I immediately thought of 10,000 Clint stalkers wondering if that was a sign to get the President.
It was an extremely irresponsible gesture coming from a man who appears to be rather level headed. I'm wondering if he appeared simply because his wife needed a boast for her reality TV show, which I haven't watched and probably won't watch.
I will go see his new movie about an aging baseball scout because I love baseball and have always found Clint's movie to be well worth the price of admission.
I wonder how many people on the political fence will alter their vote because of Clint? My gut feeling is that a lot of movie crazy fans probably don't vote....and then how many people were actually watching the convention?
I've heard that Clint is Pro-Choice and more of a Libertarian than a Republican...and he's obviously a union supporter so his differences with the party seem to be vast so I'm thinking he's really got a bug up his ass about President Obama.
I wonder if it's just a Clint Eastwood/ George Clooney clash?
George seems to have a wider range of planetary interest than Clint so I'm siding with the Clooney model.
MAYBE CLINT AND GEORGE COULD HAVE A DEBATE
THAT WOULD BE GREAT TELEVSION!
DOES ANYONE HAVE MARK BURNETT'S CELL PHONE NUMBER?
Let's make it happen, in this most interesting political season.....which offically starts Friday after the DNC
meets in North Carolina.
Things are heating up with a special thanks to a Hollywood legend.
Who would have thunk?
