It’s six o clock in the morning on July 20, 2012, the anniversary
of the Apollo XI landing. I got up early
this morning at around five and showered and noticed it was still pretty dark
out at 5:25 even. The days are starting
to get shorter again, as we ease our way into the astrological sign of
Leo. That Venus cycle that was supposed
to bail out President Obama has not failed this badly since 1892. And 1980 is a big of a question mark but
Obama does not have 52 hostages in Iran now.
Yet the President is faring in the polls worse than Jimmy Carter ever
did. Carter was actually ahead in the
summer of 1980. Bill Press described
this republican party as a band of “outlying insurgents” and I have to agree
and basically did so in last night’s relatively brief blog posting. I was thinking how once the President is out
of power all of these Presidential “restraints” will be off and he’ll once
again be free to speak his mind and as it were really play to his political
base, in a way he’s never been able to these past four years. I myself know what it’s like to be
muzzled. I know that Judy will issue
persosonal attacks against me if I get too strident against the tea party. I walk about Wall Street scandals and she’ll
bring up how I was late on my phone bill by a few dollars. Obama has been the repository for every sort
of epithet and I was in a family where it was basically a case of four against
one all the time growing up. All they
had to do was to play the “mentally unbalanced” card to discredit anything I
might say about anything, and I know how that feels. And if I were the President I wouldn’t like
it one bit and would not necessarily exercise Christian charity that was denied
me, when I got out of office. It could be
that the Democrats might become then the party of “outlying surgents” with
Obama as their leader. It would be like
Mark Bove at St. Paul’s in 1978 where you had essentially a church within a
church, with a leader Mark Bove, who was fundamentally opposed to the church
who hired him and was paying his salary.
Now I’m going to have a cigarette.TLast night in the news they
said Obama was behind Mitt Romney by one point in the latest poll numbers 46%
to 47% which is nothing new. I have
never seen any poll in the past year where the President was ever ahead of Mitt
Romney. He has always been the
Republican’s strongest candidate. The
Batman movie is out today and it’s the final in a trilogy of the Black Night,
with a hero called Bain. They are
discussing the philosophical themes of the Batman movies now. Apparently the film is set to break all box
office receipt records. The President
has fallen down badly in his economic poll numbers against Romney and the
economy itself has weakened again, which will only feed Romney’s ego
further. I guess I’m a little fired up
and rattled at the adverse numbers and prospect for the Democrats. Astrologically July 21st of 1990
proved to be a bad day for impulsive remarks.
President Obama favors abortion to determine the gender of the
child, and so puts himself out on an awkward moral limb. We know he favors partial birth abortions - -
where they ram a spike through the skull through the brain. And he also favors killing any fetus should
it survive an abortion. Obama definitely
is no moral saint. If he’s too stupid to
know when human life begins he should go back and re-take ninth grade
biology. Nobody could be President and
be that stupid. Obama has not called for
gun legislation and my guess is that he won’t because he’s too afraid of the
gun lobby. This President has got to be
pretty stupid anyhow because if half of what’s in those Judy letters is true
then this President is deliberately slowing down the economy and killing
jobs. Small business predicts
terminating more jobs by 2014. They said
83% of doctors have considered getting out of the profession because of the
Affordable Cair act. That’s scarey. And I saw the thing with the many German
floats mocking this President. We don’t
mock leaders of Germany like that, who are currently serving. I know many of Judy’s things are anecdotal
but still one thing you can’t deny is the overriding truth that “None of the
attacks by this President against Romney are working”. In fact if anything the attacks appear to be
counter productive, because Romney actually seems to be rising in the polls and
more people believe in his economics.
Since the President has such inherent power and is NOT taking steps to
remedy his low popularity numbers, he obviously does not particularly CARE
whether he is reelected or not. In such
a case a candidate that apathetic about his own fate SHOULD not be reelected,
because that same lackadaisical attitude would carry over into how he ran the
country in general.
his is Saturday
evening at a quarter to eight and wheel of fortune is in progress. Larry is sitting on my bed waiting for his
coffee upon request to retire my five cigarette debt, that will be wiped out by
this cup of coffee. So many people are
now out of money. Jeopardy had the rerun
question about Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon causing untold misfortune on
“all mankind” as opposed to not crossing it bringing misfortune only to
himself. “Four P’s” for pure bread
puppies. The Mc Laughlin report had some
dire things to portend about the US economy and how all stimulus has proved
utterly futile, and the future prognosis appears hopeless. I just poured Larry Barton his cup and he
departed, hopefully a satisfied customer.
I’m guessing we’re all going to have to get used to the phrase “President
Romney”. The Mc Laughlin group at one
point talked about a “double dip recession”, which we’ve been hearing about
since men wrote on stone tablets. But
there was another “contienient” remark about “The economy is slated to drop for
the next two quarters”. Then there is
that survey about how “People are expecting a better economy next year”. Like Annie says “Tomorrow, tomorrow, you’re
always a day away”. This James Holmes guy
was a camp counselor during the summer of 2008.
I still can’t fathom what would have made that guy withdraw from the
University when he was so close to getting his doctorate. They say he hung around that brick apartment
building going to the local store for beer and burritos. He’d walk around the street but not talk to
anybody.
It was still almost
completely dark by the time I made it outside.
That KFI radio station show on before six was non compus mentus. Every guess on the show and the host himself
was certifiably insane. It was the classic
“tin foil hat” crowd and they kept saying how the government was experimenting
with waves that compel normal people to go on shooting killing rampages. They mixed this in with talk about how it’s
all just another phase of the Obama government conspiracy to take away people’s
guns. You wouldn’t want a certifiable
insane person driving a car or operating machinery, so why would you trust him
with a gun? Then it was Neil Savedra’s
turn. He talked about how “In the face
of dire circumstances, you can’t give up hope, and the source of that hope is
God”. Not my hope. I prefer “hope” that is actually “hopeful” if
you know what I mean. I mean that I’d
like some probability of the thing I place my hope in actually being
reliable. It kind of reminded me of
therapist Eileen saying that what I needed to do was “To fill up all the
resavuars of despair within me”. I
thought that’s why I drank so much. The
little match book girl clung to hope till the very end when she kept lighting
matches and had visions of her grandmother, just before she died by freezing to
death.. For
dinner we had Salisbury steak, which was the patty with generous tomato sauce
this time you could mix with the rice.
The rice was fluffier and I added salt.
There was spinach and I had that vanilla pudding with the peaches in
it. The Black John sat down after I was
completely through. Many had not been
served their plate at all yet and the cook had to make more, but many were
offered the option of chicken instead, which almost sounded like a plan, from
their point of view. Then I smoked
cigarette number three. Donnie had
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for us.
I watched the ABC network news but otherwise vegetated. I rolled around blogger ideas in my mind and
may check my blogger numbers. I have not
downloaded one photograph since before the internet went out a week ago. I have not been inspired, but there is always
tonight.
Breakfast with the Beatles had two good
guests. One was a photo journalist who “by
chance” got to film album covers for the Beatles, and the Stones and the
Who. He was at the Rock and Roll Circus
in December of 1968 and they played “Yer Blues”. The band was John Lennon, Keith Richard, Eric
Claptin, and Mitch Mitchell from the Jimi Hendrix Experience. This photo journalist also took photos of the
Get Back “Roof top sessions” on January 30th. The Beatles had wanted to play in front of
the pyramids with the sun rising in the background but that didn’t happen. Another radio station talked about Alex
Mardis spreading roomers about the Maharish which John and George
believed. John’s way of initially
dealing with it was not to actually ask the Maharishi if there were any merit
to these charges but he and George just announced “We’re leaving”. And the Maharishi said “Why?” And John Lennon said ‘If you’re so cosmic you
already know why”. That’s like me and
Loretta. Loretta turned sour on me and I
haven’t the vaguest idea why but I guess if I were as cosmic which I DON’T
claim to be, I would know why”. Can
anybody spell “Unreasonable”? I went
down eventually and Paul gave me three cigarettes and Loretta was down there
and made some snide remark about my borrowing all the time. Paul mentioned that “There are too many
takers in this world and not enough givers” and I responded by saying I’d see
to it that he got a full new pack of cigarettes on Wednesday. KLOS had Mickey Dolans on as their other
guest. He was at Abbey Road when the
Beatles were recording “Good Morning” and Martin played back the tape. The studio was plain and ordinary, bordering
on the stark, according to Mickey. Next
month Mickey Dolans is doing a new arrangement of “Good Morning” which they
played” and also a new arrangement of “Randy Scoose Git”. There was another dreamy song they played
from the sequel to the ‘Head” movie in 1968.
Mickey is a level headed guy and the Monkees have always hung around the
big whigs of Rock and Roll even though their fans are years younger. As you know there was kind of a twentieth
anniversary “push” for radio air play in early 1987 about the same time in my snail
mail writings I predicted that Howard Richards would be reincarnated - - and
this was in early March when there was a major super nova. That would place his birthday in December of
1987.
