It only takes one song to win an Oscar

Extremely rare that a song wins an Academy Award for acting......but these lyrics and this melody are worthy material without the performance.  Anne Hathaway cemented her place in cinematic history with her work on this film. 

This lyric rendition of the performance is a wonderful way to hear the song....thanks to ProbablyAman on YouTube.

By the way.....Seth and the Teddy Bear should host the Oscars together every freakin year.

Drones for sale....to anyone.

A few months ago I wrote a piece about drones being available at trade shows and while I was being slightly tongue in cheek I was also concerned.  It turns out my concern now becomes a full blown reality.

This morning in the LA TIMES it was reported by W.J.Hennigan that the United Arab Emirates is on the verge of buying Predator drones from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems located in Poway, California.

UAE is spending about $197 million on drones for their military.

The official language of the UAE is Arabic and while there are only about 3 million people living in the small Persian Gulf coastal country, it turns out that a large portion of the young people are embracing Islamic fundamentalism.

This sale would be the first sale to a non-Nato country.

Just because Tiger Woods play golf a few times year in Dubai doesn't make it ok to sell our newest wartime technology to a country where Fundamental Islamic thought and behavior is growing on a daily basis.

IN FACT......IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW!

Maybe this would be a good time to watch Mick and Lady Gaga

This is a great song

I'm not predicting who will win American Idol.....but I can sure tell who will have a career.
Kree Harrison will be around for quite awhile.

 

The Best Rolling Stone song I've heard in years

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fn8BQPBir0

Doom and Gloom is the name of this song and I think it plays over the credits
of Good Day to Die Hard.

These guys are touring this year and if this is the type of NEW song they are
playing then my little mind is offically.....BLOWN!

5000 years from now

February 13 7013

I just celebrated my 5067th Birthday a few days ago and I can honestly say that time really does fly.  IT LITERALLY FLIES.  Seriously!
Time particles become airborne and dissolve into ultraviolet beams of light and then they get moved by cosmicwind tunnels and before you can say "hotdiggtydog" time simply jumps through an illusionairy point of reference, better know as a clock, and lands anywhere and anytime it chooses. It's a whole new Quantum ballgame if you know what I mean.

And if you were paying close attention to my last article then you might think I've found Molly.

You would be incorrect.

I've landed in February of 7013, and I need to fill you in on some current events.

The President of the United States is an AI and her name is 4693....or as her friends like to call her 46.  After California became an island in 5274 there have been multiple battles between Nevada and Arizona regarding water rights and currently, since the Colorado River is now part of the Pacific Ocean, the main problem centers around how the water from Canada, which comes through the Continental Tube, gets distributed to the 59 million people living in those two states.

California is no longer a state within the United States but is now its own country.  America owns 51% of California and is California's prime trade partner.  The separate "countrystate" has a population of 700 million.  When the Continental Separation occurred in 5274 it created a new land mass from just north of San Francisco to the tip of the Baja Peninsula. It took a couple of hundred years, and a few nasty wars with Mexico, to finally secure the property, but by 5490 California/Baja was completely owned and operated by the United States of America.  It took 1210 more years for California to become its own country and the unique part ownership arrangement with the USA was finalized in 6700. It took so long to work out the problems because no one wanted to pay for the bridges that had to be built.  The Tesla Ferry Service became the biggest company in California until the underwater vacuum tubes were constructed by Halliburton around 900 years ago.

Mexico ceased to exist as a country in 5709 when it was officially purchased by Japan.  The Japanese had been slowly intermingling with Mexico for 2400 years since their Island erupted in 3250.  The eruption was predicted 100 years earlier by techgeologist and most of the Japanese people had vacated the Island before the eruption. During the 100 years before it exploded, the Japanese industrial complex constructed 10,000 large ocean vessels and all the people from Japan were living on those vessels until a land lease arrangement had been developed with Mexico in 3300.  Over the next 200 years Japanese and Mexicans started merging as a race and today's it's very hard to distinguish who is Japanese and who is Mexican.  The name that they prefer is Jaxicans. In case you are wondering....they are very interesting looking but still really short....and their dedication to building the worlds most beautiful gardens is legendary. The amount of tourism to view their world class gardens is second to none.  They have crossbread some plant species that not only look extraordinary but will get you higher than a kite if you take a small nibble. 

When you eat at a Jaxican restaurant the portions are very small because they combine Wasabe with Jalapenos in all their food and the human body can only take so much nonsense.

But gee whiz.....I was trying to fill you in on California and I got sidetracked......that's part of the problem with time traveling so freakin fast.  One minute here....one minute there....one minute nowhere....one minute everywhere.

Quantum reality is truly a different type of reality than it was in 2013.  Back then we had theories....today we have systems built on subatomic particle awareness.  Systems that were impossible to accept by the average human being.  The evolutionary change that took place over a 1000 year time period from 1900 to 2900 allowed for the expansion of both awareness and acceptance of unique and different thought patterns.

Dr. Francis Joseph Conlan's discovery of the Prime Objective in 2016 allowed for the human mind to open and finally accept that mathematics was the key to human thought expansion.  The beauty of that Prime Objective moment came when Dr. Conlan told the world that God was a mathematician and that She was disappointed in how organized religions had interpreted Her creations.  The Prime Objective was the beginning of increased tolerance and forgiveness by the human race....but of course it took another 800 years for the rest of the species to segue into the next stage of human evolution....which became known as Huma-Angelicus.....

The Huma-Angelicus name was coined by some unknown artist in the 21st Century while trying to find out where to get Molly.

I've got to catch a time flier back in a few minutes but I will be sure to fill you in on the current haps when I come back in a few minutes....or forward in a few seconds.....or

I haven't met Molly but she sounds familiar

During the early 70's (no not the 1870's) there was an assortment of hallucinogenics that would appear and then disappear from the social network....and yes there was always a social network long before media kidnapped the term....and if one happen to be in the right place at the right time one could rest assured that said products were void of any harmful ingredients.  Ingredients that were used to cut the product in order to increase the amount of product were often the reasons that "bad trips" would occur....but in the beginning there was only pure light.

A few people, who are reading these words right now, know exactly what I mean when I say that I encountered PURITY on a few occasions during a short period of time, at that time.  The name that was given to the pure product I experienced was Mellow Jello.  The time frame was somewhere around the winter of 1972 or 1973.  Both those years run together in my memory bank due to my weaving and dodging and trying to reconcile that Richard Nixon was actually going to continue with his current position as leader of the free world.  During that period of time my writing name was Miles Tyson.

On a personal note it was after my first live in relationship (and yes we still communicate) and before my heart was exposed to an Egyptian/Irish whirling dervish (we are friends on FB) and four years before my one and only marriage, who after being divorced from since 1988 I can't seem to shake no matter what I say or do....which is ok because she is one of my best friends.

I'm going to pause for a second and let anyone who remembers our Mellow Jello experiences to take a deep breath....close your eyes..........and smile. 

Unfortunately I have no relationship with the person who brought Mellow Jello into my environment but at the time she was a very beautiful dark haired hypnotic lunatic, who told those of us on Creek Rd in Fairfax, California that the drug had been manufactured by a local chemist, for the specific intention of supplying the Hell's Angels with a tool that would soften their views on how life should be conducted.  She said that no one was supposed to have the drug except the Hell's Angels but that since she had a relationship with one the leaders she was able to secure a limited amount of pills.

Obviously she could have been lying through her teeth but since she was so cute her story was bought without the slightest bit of reservations.

For about three months she shared her good fortune and in turn I shared my good fortune and as a result I can tell you without question or qualms, that my experiences with Mellow Jello were by far and away the most exotic drug moments of my life.

I've had many better exotic moments in my life......but only as a result of love.....not drugs.

Mello Jello created instant love.

I do classify it as an hallucinogenic but in truth it wasn't anything like LSD or Mescaline because it didn't have an intense climbup with an more intense climbdown but instead it made everything physical feel magical without stretching the boundaries of  personal mental parameters.

My LSD experiences were legendary (within my own realm of course) but my Mellow Jello experiences were magical and memorable and I'll always recall the details....whereas, with acid there would be periods of time that were not memorable but simply moments in which hanging on was the only recourse.

I always came out of the crystal cave but some people I know aren't quite sure that is true.

Of course the dispensing vixen of 1973 disappeared shortly after she arrived and never again did I hear anyone mention the words Mellow Jello or have the slightest idea how to secure the product.

I do know that the Hell's Angels never had a public repeat of their 1969 Altamont incident. I'm sure their members didn't start wearing suits and ties....so maybe Mellow Jello did help calm them down for awhile.....or until the purity of the product was compromised due to expanded distribution.

I've been reading about Molly and it sounds like Mellow Jello and Molly both belong to the same family chemical tree.
I've never tried Ecstacy but when I first heard about it years ago, it sounded like Mellow Jello and then negative reports begin to appear.

 Back in the 70's there was a repeated appearance of a drug called MDA....with the common ingredients being SEROTONIN, DOPAMINE and NOREPHINEPHRINE....so I've reached the following conclusion.

I think pure Molly might be the new Mellow Jello.

How interesting would it have been in the 70's to say....."hey, do you want to eat Molly."

I remember a few babes called Molly and my answer would have been....YES!

Molly is described in it's original form as a Yellow-Amber crystal
Mellow Jello came in a transparent capsule and was a beautiful clear yellow-amber jell that could be poured into tea.

OMG....now that I think about it...the beautiful lunatic girl's name was MOLLY.

I know it sounds like I might be interested in meeting Molly again but that's really not the point of this piece.

Who am I kidding?

Does anyone have Molly's cellphone number?

Feb 3.....still sucks and always will

BP but no mention of Halliburton

British Petroleum yesterday pleaded guilty to 11 counts of seaman's manslaughter.  The amount of money that they will be paying is still being totalled but so far it includes the following recipients. 

$7.8 Billion to the Gulf Coast residents and businesses.
$2.4 Billion to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
$350 Million to the National Academy of Sciences
$4 Billion in fines related to the manslaughter charges
and possibly
$17 Billion in fines through the Clean Water Act

The recipients with the word Act and National in their names are government entities and once the cashiers get those funds in the Treasury then one might as well say.....SYLM

SYLM is the explanation when trying to determine how the money gets directed toward the proper parties once it is in the governments ledger.

(See You Later MF)

Simply pause for a second and think back to the national disasters starting with Katrina. So much money was raised through the federal government and private charities, which include star studded fund raisers and various deep pocket philanthropists......and yet I see stories all the time where people in New Orleans are still wondering when the help is going to arrive. I just saw a story about a neighborhood in New York that got creamed by Sandy and unless those poor people are flat out lying it seems that very little funds have gotten to them.

If the government makes financial disaster fund recovery as complicated as I think they might then a very large percentage of the needy people have most likely not been able to fill out the proper paperwork, without a group of lawyers involved, and everyone alive knows that once a group of lawyers gets involved then the only people receiving funds turns out to be the group of lawyers.

THIS IS A 60 MINUTES STORY THAT SHOULD TAKE UP ABOUT TEN SHOWS.....WHICH THEN WOULD BE CALLED THE 600 MINUTES SHOW.

I'd like to see a truck full of cash pull up to one of the affected neighborhoods with a list of residents in one hand and a wad of cash in the other.  If you've got proper ID and something with your address on it then you get some folding coin.

I can promise you one thing....all that money shown above that is being paid by BP will be recovered in a very short time period. 

British Petroleum in 2011 had revenues totalling $375 BILLION and had a net profit of $65 BILLION.

What I can't seem to figure out is why Halliburton doesn't get mentioned in any of these payouts.  Originally it was their construction company that was involved in a very important part of the oil rig failure.

Wikipedia
In September 2011, the U.S. government published its final investigative report on the accident.[34] In essence, that report states that the main cause was the defective cement job, and put most of the fault for the oil spill with BP, also faulting Deepwater Horizon operator Transocean and contractor Halliburton.[35][34] The first spill-related arrest was in April 2012; an engineer was charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly deleting 300 text messages showing BP knew the flow rate was three times higher than initial claims by the company, and knew that Top Kill was unlikely to succeed, but claimed otherwise.[36][37][38] On 14 November 2012, BP agreed to plea guilty and pay $4.525 billion in fines and other payments for a criminal settlement. It also plead guilty to 11 felony counts related to the deaths of the 11 workers. Criminal charges has been filed also against four BP employees. BP still faces payouts to thousands of fishermen, businesses and others harmed by the spill, and the fines under the Clean Water Act, which could reach as much as $21 billion. On 28 November 2012 the EPA announced that BP will be temporarily banned from seeking new contracts with the US government because of the oil company's "lack of business integrity" during the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster.[39]

I'm trying to locate how much Halliburton needs to pay for making defective cement.

Like I realize this is nit-picking but if defective cement wasn't made then perhaps no accident would have occured and if that's the case then Halliburton, as the contractor, would owe BP a HUGE sum of money.  But of course Dick Cheney probably stepped in and............hold it right there.

So you don't think that Mr. Cheney has any influence within the current structure of our government?

If I'm realistic, and I've never been accused of such nonsense, then I'd have to agree with you.....but ten years from now (2023) we'll find out that Halliburton is paying former Attorney General Eric Holder a very large consultant fee for the fine work he did in 2010,11 and 12 regarding the Deep Horizon tragedy and Halliburton's part in the disaster.....and then a Wikipedia investigator will discover that those fees have been in place since 2010 thanks to the gay relationship between Eric Holder and Dick Cheney.

Seriously......I don't make this shit up just to be funny.   I'm pretty sure this is how things work.

But I will say one thing.

I sure hope to God that I'm fucking wrong.

But once again Halliburton seems to have escaped without even a scratch....and for sure without even a slight mention in the settlement story.

Amazing

Stunned and drug rant

I was going to get up this morning and try to clarify some actual numbers that are involved in Climate Change, but then reading the paper I noticed an article in the LA TIMES by Lisa Giron.

"PANEL URGES MORE CONTROL OF VICODIN"

I personally have never taken a Vicodin but am quite aware of others who have and do take the MOST PRESCRIBED DRUG in America.

Hydrocone is the main active ingredient in Vicodin and America consumes 99% of that chemical produced worldwide.

PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, which of course are classified as legal, cause more deaths than Heroin and Cocaine combined.  That does not surprise me because it's a numbers game and multi-millions of people take prescription drugs compared to the numbers who shoot Heroin or snort and smoke Cocaine.

Ms. Giron states that prescription drug fatalities have recently surpassed deaths from automobile crashes in the accidental death category. What she doesn't seem to mention is the use of alcohol in combinations with Prescription drugs....once again failing to acknowledge the obvious.....ALCOHOL IS A LEGAL DRUG and the amount of fatal accidents caused by legal drugs has always been higher.

Automobile accidents have been (over the last 60 years) the leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States.  How many of those accidents occurred while under the influence of which drug is the big question. We all realize being under the influence of alcohol is at the top of the list. Being under the influence of pot is at the bottom of the list....and even if they made pot legal it would still be at the bottom of the list because it's hard to drive a car while slumped on the couch trying to find the remote.

The Vicodin situation does worry me because I've seen people who don't touch illegal drugs pop two or three Vicodin without blinking.  They seem to treat it the same way they do when popping a cork on a nice Napa Cab.

Taking anything that alters central nervous system connections should be done on a very limited basis.  The same thing applies when smoking a joint.  One HIT is all the body needs to release the chemicals that result in feeling a change of consciouness. 

ALCOHOL IS THE MOST ABUSED DRUG ON THE PLANET.....EXCEPT FOR NICOTINE....BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO CONSIDER NICOTINE A DRUG.

IF YOU TAKE A VICODIN AND THEN HAVE A SHOT OF JACK DANIELS AND SMOKE A JOINT WHILE TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER TO HAVE A CAB OR MERLOT WHILE GETTING READY TO DRIVE YOUR CAR TO THE PARTY......THERE IS A PROBLEM

EVEN IF YOU ELIMINATE THE SMOKING JOINT PORTION OF THE STORY....THERE'S STILL A PROBLEM.

IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN TWO VICODIN IN A WEEK THEN THERE'S STILL A PROBLEM.

Of course those of us from the 60's and 70's simply believe that you should just take a good pure tab of acid and forget all the other bullshit.

Of course you might need the Vicodin if your trip proves too painful.

There are no guarantees to what one may discover
when opening the windows
into
one's 
soul.

AND SOMETIMES THE WINDOWS HAVE NEVER BEEN CLEANED SO THEREFORE I'M NOT SANCTIONING THE USE OF LSD but I will speculate on the following theory; 

If the people, who are addicted to both legal and illegal drugs. were involved in a well organized psychedelic experience it MIGHT cure their drug problems.

Of course it's just a theory but those people are using drugs because of some problem so why not visit the Elvis of drugs and see what happens.

You do know that LSD was developed with the intention to help treat psychotic behavior?

I think it could help with addictions....so before you take another Vicodin stop by Walgreens and get a tab of Ozzie Clear Light and get ready to............

.........WUM

The response to speech and lip-sync scandal

First off....if Beyonce wasn't singing on Monday then she has fully perfected the art of lip-syncing. If anything was recorded it was the background music which makes perfect sense. But once again a non-issue outweighs the importance of President Obama's speech.

I actually talked to a few people yesterday that needed a WUM from me when I mentioned how important it was for him to talk about Climate Change.  Forget the fact that he also mentioned equal pay for women and equal rights for gay men and women.  Apparently the gun freaks were also unhappy with his comments even though I don't actually recall him stating that automatic weapons, or any type of gun, should be banned. 

So let's get this straight......people who are upset about his speech.......don't believe Climate Change is an issue.....Gay people are second class citizens with personal problems.....women should stay in the kitchen and have  AK-47's under the sink.

Multiple Republican leaders basically came out and said.......THE WAR IS ON.  Their implication is that the Liberal agenda of President Obama, and his socialist ideology,  has created a divide that will not be repaired with an occasional lunch or round of golf.

WWTFEA?
WHO WON THE FREAKIN ELECTION ASSHOLES?

HE'S TRYING TO HEAL A NATION THAT HAS BEEN DIVIDED BY RIGHT WING COMMENTATORS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS
WHO REFUSE TO LOOK
TOWARD
THE FUTURE.

In the very near future (within 10 years) all rights for gay people will not even be an issue because everybody will simply realize that religion should have no influence on laws involving equality.  

In the very near future (hopefully sooner than 10 years) everybody will be discussing Climate Change and the same people that don't believe today will be screaming about why something wasn't done sooner. 

In the near future women and men will be paid equally if they have the same job.  I find it hard to believe that it isn't already true, but when you think that it hasn't even been a hundred years since women got the right to vote then obviously somethings really goofy in this area.  But as more and more women win seats in Congress and appointments to the courts...the quicker balance will be achieved.

In the near future ( Within 20 years)  assault weapons will be illegal to own but there will still be millions of them hidden in closets and basements.  The government will never do a door to door search and thus those horrible tools of death will forever be a part of our culture.  But manufactures of those weapons will not be allowed to exhibit at domestic gun shows and people will have to try sneaking them across the border strapped to illegal aliens.

In the near future ( 5-10 years)any illegal immigrant who can prove they have been working for over five  years in the United States can immediately apply for citizenship.

In the very near future (hopefully starting today) renewable energy sources will be regarded as the Holy Grail of energy and no one will claim it's too expensive and fossil fuel companies will start putting millions of dollars into that genre of energy. 

SINCE ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE THEN WHY NOT MAKE THEM START HAPPENING
TODAY!

Let's leave the dinosaur thinking behind and move toward a reality that makes sense. 

It makes sense because we are in the beginning phases of the next stage of human evolutionary development and millions of people know it and wonder why others can't see or feel it.

Do you feel it?

So many moments take place everyday that sometimes it's hard to acknowledge a step up in the evolutionary phases of human development.  But please note all evolutionary changes have overlaps and sometimes those overlaps can last for hundreds of years.....maybe even thousands.

I'd like to think that Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals are almost completely vanquished but like I said before.....everyday something happens that indicates that not to be true.

Social changes take place after mental changes appear.  Mental changes take place after both tragic and beautiful events. 

The trick for altering the thought process on Climate Change is simply being aware of both local and global events.

If someone is unaware then they need a big WUM.

Do you know someone who completely ignores everything that seems to be important to the relationship of human beings and the planet earth?

WUM em and WUM em good!

I'm quite excited about Barry's interest in women's equal pay and gay people's rights but I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT
CLIMATE CHANGE
WAS
MENTIONED
and
I hope that you are too.

IT'S THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT THE HUMAN RACE MUST CONFRONT
because frankly
the Earth
survives for another 10 billion years......
with or without us

WE ARE THE CARETAKERS OF THE HUMAN RACE NOT THE PLANET EARTH.

Our jobs as human beings simply might be to avoid extinction for as long as possible.

For a President to mention Climate Change for the first time in 2013 is a bit scary but at least it has been put on the table.

NOW IT'S TIME TO SIT DOWN AND START FIGURING OUT WHAT GETS SERVED AND HOW SOON WE START THE FEAST.

And don't be afraid to pass a few WUMs around for desert.

CLIMATE CHANGE or BEYONCE  LIP-SYNCING......hummmmm.......which of those two things is more important?

WUM!

Michael Timothy McAlevey

Just a soft Sunday morn with Freddie

Lance needs to share his drugs

All I want to say about LANCE is that he beat CANCER in seven parts of his body and won 7 Tour titles.

HE NEEDS TO TELL WHAT COMBINATION OF DRUGS HE USED SO THAT OTHER MIRACLES CAN BE ACHIEVED BY MILLIONS WHO DON'T RIDE BICYCLES FOR A LIVING.

Obviously whatever he took was the right combination.

TIME TO SHARE THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION LANCE!

I'm not sure if you've realize this fact....but chemicals are called drugs when the government losses control of their distribution.

CHEMICALS or DRUGS or MAGIC INJECTIONS OF BATSHIT.....I don't really care why he took whatever he took.....I just want to know WHAT he took.

That's the right question Oprah!

Michael Timothy McAlevey

More WUM and WUMF

A small groundswell.......which by the way, is a really weird word......has started and when a groundswell starts there's really nothing to do but just hold on and let it rip, or let it flow, or as I've said for years.....let it hap'n cap'n.

In truth, there is a civility to OUR sociological environment (and it's clearly planetary) that must recognize the type of person who prefers not to use swear words....or at the very least, ask those of us who do use swear words....to please not use them around them.

IGI

I get it....and I respect those who deserve the consideration of not having someone tell them to
WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKER!

BUT 
ignoring
CLIMATE CHANGE
and
GLOBAL WARMING
might
create exceptions to all rules of civility.

In the meantime I've decided to create a softer version for those who truly do deserve a softer wake up call to an obvious serious situation.

WAKE UP MY FRIEND!  WUMF

WUMF should be used when addressing Grandparents, small children, clergy (whose heads aren't up their ass), and anyone who you know that just doesn't approve of colorful language.

PLEASE REMEMBER ONE THING....WE ARE USING WUM AND WUMF WHEN TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT
CLIMATE CHANGE
AND
GLOBAL WARMING
IS A PROVEN REALITY!

The conversation might start off very soft and WUMF is used simply to make a nice friendly gesture regarding that particular human beings lack of knowledge or lack of awareness or just goofy stubbornness regarding life in general.....and at that point it might be necessary to lay a
WUM on them in order to seriously get their attention.

I honestly hope that any person who qualifies for the soft and gentle WUMF doesn't have to get the not so soft and gentle WUM
BUT
IF
I'VE LEARNED ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING
I'VE LEARNED
THAT
SOMETIMES
SH.T
JUST
HAPPENS.....and occasionally certain words actually make a lot more sense than logical explanations regarding truth and reality.

Do you realize how upset Conservatives and Republicans are going to be when they actually have to admit that ALBERT ARNOLD GORE was not only right but that maybe he's the guy who should be leading this parade. I'm thinking about 2016 and to be quite honest....I've seen much bigger comebacks from much bigger Dickheads, if you know what I mean. Richard Nixon was burnt toast and somehow that MF wormed his way back into the White House while being a crazy paranoid son of a bitch. 

AL GORE appears to actually be a nice guy.

I hope I don't have give him a big WUM to bring him out of the classroom and back into the arena.

I realize that divorcing Tipper doesn't look good on the resume, but maybe he can talk to Kobe and find out what it takes to rebuild a marriage. I realize there's a slight difference between Kobe's wife and Tipper but remember it's all relative and there's no logic when it comes to love.  Of course Al might have a new babe and in that case we'll just have to learn to love her.

The White House is not off limits to a person who has been married twice.

The White House actually appears to be a place that is not off limits to anyone.

CLIMATE CHANGE deserves a radical approach when it comes to discussions of how we can slow things down.  Using RENEWABLE ENERGY is one big thing.  Using energy that lasts longer is another thing.

USING LED's FOR ALL FORMS OF LIGHT CAN START RIGHT NOW.  IT MIGHT COSTS MORE AND IT MIGHT NOT BE AS BRIGHT BUT
CORRECTLY BUILT LIGHT EMITTING DIODES ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION TO OUR 
EXCESSIVE ENERGY CONSUMPTION LIFESTYLE.

AL GORE was on this bandwagon before the bandwagon had wheels.

When the conservative gun loving republican grandpa, that you personally know and love, tells you that Al Gore is a jerk or a lunatic and that his Academy Award winning documentary was horseshit
just give them a little
Wumf
and then if necessary
land
a
big
WUM.

So....it's settled
we use WUMF when civility needs to be displayed.

We use WUM when the point needs an extra push.

And by the way, just in case you are wondering, I found out that motherfucker is definitely one word and the faster you say it the more it sounds like the way it was intended when created by Pope John and Snoop Dog when they had coffee in the early 70's.

WUMF before I have to say

WUM!

Does anyone have Al's cellphone number?

Feedback on WUM

I've received various opinions on my latest text abbreviation.....WUM. 
(please read Sat 1/13 if this is your first Mind Jazz moment)

I think I need to alter it slightly.

WUMF is easier to say than WUM and probably more grammatically correct due to the fact that the word Mother Fucker is actually two words. I don't like adding a fourth letter but sometimes alterations and additions are necessary to achieve balance and harmony.

I personally think Motherfucker is one word but since a very large portion of society doesn't tend to use this word, I'm open to alternate opinions on its existence and usage.

I'll use the different versions over the next few weeks and see what shakes loose.

I think I also need to add a optional abbreviation in order to create some small semblance of courtesy to the experience.

WUMP.....should be used when addressing someone who needs a taste of sugar.

WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKER.........PLEASE!

To be perfectly honest I don't think WUM or WUMF or WUMP will rival OMG for a broadly used abbreviation or an iconic term, but please keep in mind that the whole point of this exercise was to get people to wake up regarding CLIMATE CHANGE and GLOBAL WARMING and a few more motherfuckers here and there is definitely part of the plan.

Use the term the next time you talk to someone who thinks Climate Change and Global Warming is just something made up by Liberals and Democrats to upset the status quo.

WUMF!

What's really amazing is how many of those people there are, and how many we actually know.  We love many of them so that's why I added the P to the original.

WUMP!

Whatever we choose to use
we need to up the anti on the dialogue regarding
CLIMATE CHANGE

To some people you simply might be able to ask them to please pay attention to the facts and figures regarding Climate Change
but
to those
other
types
who
refuse
to
accept
statistical
reality

WUMF em and WUMF em good!

OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY

On January 7 of this year I wrote about Bill Moyers interviewing Anthony Leiserowitz regarding Climate Change.  Anthony is the Director of an organization called the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication.

THE IDEA IS TO RAISE THE COMMUNICATION LEVEL REGARDING CLIMATE CHANGE.

IF MORE POLITICIANS AND CORPORUPTIONS CONSISTENTLY BRING UP THE SUBJECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE......THAN ACTION WILL BE TAKEN.

IT'S A FAIRLY SIMPLE CONCEPT.

IT'S WHY I'VE BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN 5 DAYS LATER.

Please go back and read my January 7 article and then follow the link to Mr. Leiserowitz's website and then make
some
NOISE.

THE ATTEMPTED SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM IS RENEWABLE ENERGY VS CONTINUAL BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS.

IF WE DON'T MAKE RENEWABLE ENERGY OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY THEN THE TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES CAUSED BY A GLOBAL TEMPERATURE INCREASE OF 2 TO 4% WILL COMPETELY ALTER, NEGATIVELY, THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE ON THE PLANET EARTH.

A 6 PERCENT INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE CREATES SOMETHING AKIN TO WATERWORLD.

Our main problem is that Climate Change must be GLOBAL.  That concept will make many people in the United States say....."oh well, we can't do anything about China and India and any other nation which is trying to create a viable middle class structure...so we might as well just do nothing."

THE UNITED STATES CAN LEAD THIS WAR ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND IN FACT THE UNITED STATES
MUST
LEAD
THIS
WAR!

We have asked the world to turn to us when Democracy or Freedom is in question.  We respond because we can.

WE CAN RESPOND TO THIS CHALLENGE BUT THE PUBLIC NEEDS
TO
DEMAND
CHANGE.

THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEED TO DEMAND THAT RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES BECOME THE HIGHEST PRIORITY ON EVERYBODIES LIST.

EVERY POLITICIAN
EVERY CEO
EVERY MEDIA OUTLET
EVERY SPORTS TEAM
EVERY SPORTS FAN
EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
EVERY BROWSER
EVERY DOG AND CAT OWNER
EVERY RELIGIOUS LEADER
EVERY VICTORIA SECRET MODEL
EVERY GOLFER
EVERY STUDENT
EVERY TEACHER
EVERY LOVER
EVERY LONER
EVERY BI-POLAR PERSONALITY
EVERY SINGER
EVERY DANCER
ANYBODY WHO CAN READ
AND ANYBODY WHO IS
AWAKE
OR
ASLEEP
Man
Woman
and
Child.

EVERYBODY!

RENEWABLE ENERGY
IS THE
GOAL

Whether or not we can slow down or stop the  GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE is uncertain.
BUT
IF WE DO NOT MAKE RENEWABLE ENERGY OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY
THEN THE RESULT IS CERTAIN

and the next time you hear someone say that they still don't believe that Global Warming is a proven truth.....simply start to slap them across the face, stopping your hand about one inch away from contact and then yell........

WAKE UP MOTHERFUCKER!

WUM
is the newest text abbreviation that can be used quite a few times (DAILY) during the normal course of observing human being interactions with social awareness issues.

WUM!

I realize that there are quite a few of you who won't be happy using the MF word when people ask you what WUM stands for....but something radical has to happen for communication to expand regarding this issue and if nothing is done to make Renewable Energy our primary goal then I promise you that the MF word will be used in every sentence in the very near future when referring to the people who refused to accept the obvious reality.

I think I've made my point....now pass it along or GTFOOTW.

FROM http://www.space.com/

.

...Astronomers have discovered the largest known structure in the universe, a clump of active galactic cores that stretches 4 billion light-years from end to end.

The structure is a large quasar group (LQG), a collection of extremely luminous galactic nuclei powered by supermassive central black holes. This particular group is so large that it challenges modern cosmological theory, researchers said.

"While it is difficult to fathom the scale of this LQG, we can say quite definitely it is the largest structure ever seen in the entire universe," lead author Roger Clowes, of the University of Central Lancashire in England, said in a statement. "This is hugely exciting, not least because it runs counter to our current understanding of the scale of the universe."

Quasars are the brightest objects in the universe. For decades, astronomers have known that they tend to assemble in huge groups, some of which are more than 600 million light-years wide.

But the record-breaking quasar group, which Clowes and his team spotted in data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, is on another scale altogether. The newfound LQC is composed of 73 quasars and spans about 1.6 billion light-years in most directions, though it is 4 billion light-years across at its widest point.

I'm going to miss this symbol of our greatness

I was reading about how NASA "stuff" was being sold off.....and it really is a part of our culture that shouldn't have been privatized. The United States of America  landed on the moon and the space program should not be owned by a member of the NYSE.

Bill and the best of us

I've hinted at this in the past but now I'm making it an official position

BILL MOYERS IS THE BEST INTERVIEWER ON TELEVISION.
and quite possibly the most important.

I can't really think of a close second......Maybe Charlie Rose but he sometimes talks more than his guests.

BILL'S WEEKLY INTERVIEWS SHOULD BE REQUIRED VIEWING BY EVERY MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL
IN
AMERICA
EVERY MONDAY MORNING......right after the Pledge of Allegiance (they still say it, don't they?)
(actually a global broadcast would make more sense but that's probably asking too much) 

APPLE, CNN, SONY, BBC and NBC could make it happen if they wanted.
Mr. Moyers latest show, with Anthony Leiserowitz, might be one of the most important. I highly suggest clicking on the above and below links and watching the interview.  And then after you are finished...watch it again....and then maybe watch it one more time.

Focus on the parts regarding fossil fuel companies and how they have played us.

CLIMATE CHANGE
IS
THE
TOPIC
and Mr. Leiserowitz and the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication
is
MANDATORY
LISTENING AND READING
FOR
EVERYONE!
and especially those of you who have beautiful new children or grand children....or those of you who are thinking about adding to your family or starting a family.

In the past the Liberal plea on environmental social awareness sounded like this.

"We are worried about our grandchildren's children ."

But now it's more like we need to be worried about our children's children and if action isn't taken soon (like now) then the next thing we'll be saying is, "we are worried about our children."  

And then suddenly we will look up and wonder how this happened to US.....
.....NOW!

The fact that 40 percent of the world's population hasn't even heard of Climate Change is certainly a scary issue.....but that figure can be reduced very quickly with the right voices making noise.

Forwarding information to the masses should not be a problem...but those people, companies and organizations that don't want the status quo to change have a lot of power.

I'm really starting to feel that a 1968 or 1969 or 1970 or 1971 or 1972 protest movement might be forming.  It doesn't have to be violent it just needs to be LOUD.  It doesn't need to be unruly, it just needs to be ORGANIZED. The INTERNET and SOCIAL MEDIA should be able to handle that task.

I'm feeling quite confident that Mr. Leiserowitz is working in the perfect direction and I'm sure he would love to hear from you.

His address is on his web site

Once again, thank you Bill Moyers for bringing us up to date.

And now my advice to YOU is.....

CALL SOMEONE and tell them to watch the interview on

Wasn't going to write about this, but......

For my first post of 2013 I was going to write a fluff piece about how Congress and The White House managed to avoid the Fiscal Cliff ( I wonder if someone owns the copyright of that term) which didn't seem to exist( the term) until a year ago.  I imagine there was always a Fiscal Cliff, but the political impasse never had a name, or if it did, it wasn't shared with the rest of us.

Fiscal Cliff. com is for sale.

Two months from now we will have another FISCAL CLIFF moment so the agreement turns out to be a pause in the battle.

What really got my attention this morning and caused me to traverse away from the fiscal BS was a picture on the front page of the LA TIMES.   Please study this image for a few moments.

Focus on the two guys to the right (Amir Heckel and Namir Jeckel)  and then try to find one face that seems happy about ANYTHING.  

I REALIZE IT'S JUST ONE SNAP SHOT but holy molly these are the troops that we have trained and equipped to fight The Taliban and al-qaida in Afghanistan. Maybe a woman was taking the picture and that might explain the evil looks.

Each one of these guys has learned to use a knife, an assault rifle, a rocket launcher and a computer. They've also been schooled in IED roadside planting ( some had already taken that course on their own) and had extensive sniper training.

Our Fiscal Cliff nonsense will seem quite mundane once we observe Heckel and Jeckel taking down buildings and blowing up embassy's.

Seriously....take another look at the Muslim young men in the picture..... and then keep in mind how pissed off  Osama bin Laden would have been, when he was fighting the Russians, if we had made him cut off all his hair and his beard. These guys are being trained to fight their brothers, uncles and cousins.  It seems to me that once US troops vacate the region ALL OF THESE SOLDIERS WILL GROW THEIR HAIR AND BEARDS AND THEN TAKE THEIR NEW WEAPONS HOME AND SHARE THEM WITH THEIR LITTLE BROTHERS AND NEPHEWS!

AFGHANISTAN

HAS BEEN A

NIGHTMARE

FOR

CENTURIES

THE

HEROIN

PURCHASES

NEED

TO

BE

STOPPED

THE TALIBAN

NEEDS

TO

ENTER

THE

21st

CENTURY

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST

al-qaida

NEEDS

TO

BE

HANDLED

BY

PAKISTAN

or at the very least, prove they aren't supporting them....which will be hard becasue they seem to be giving them room

and

board

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Go ahead take one more look at the Afghan guys who are on our side........now stop laughing.

This is happening

There's an article on the front page of today's LA TIMES that is a must read.

The Times seems to prevent cut and paste from their web site so you might have to download the paper or actually go to the newsstand and get a copy.  OMG, an actual copy of a newspaper.....

Article title....SMALL-SCALE SOLAR'S BIG POTENTIAL UNTAPPED
by
JULIE CART

It's part of a series she is doing called THE SOLAR DESERT

Nice work Julie!

The photograph on page A14 is a perfect capturing of what will be in the very near future.
Study it carefully!

Small to large scale renewable energy. 
I'm so sick of oil companies and OUR bought and sold politicians controlling our energy needs that I've decided to
PUKE!
************
...sorry but I feel better now.

The great part of this story by Julie Cart is that all of this RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGY is actually happening, in spite of the corporate blocks.

IT'S THE NEW FUTURE AND THE FASTER WE MOVE
THE SOONER WE WILL ALL FEEL BETTER ABOUT
OUR TIME
ON THIS BEAUTIFUL
PLANET
