928 - Live and Local

Well the first full moon after the autumnal equinox was when my paternal grandmother died, and the moon was also full this period in 2007 when my Dad breathed his last.  It's been five years, and oddly the event was not broached once at last Saturday's family gathering.  This is the 25th anniversary of Nicholas' conception in 1987 during a partial lunar eclipse.  At at least that's the Federation version of it.  They are predicting another heat wave to commence in earnest tomorrow and last several days.  I have been in a coffee and cigarettes drought all this week.  Dr. Levy half promised he'd have a can of ground Master Chef for me tomorrow.  I don't know if Chef Ramsey endorses it.  What happened to Chef Ramsey?  I get to go to the ATM for cash withdrawal on Monday.  Normally we have a residents council meeting the last Friday of the month around here but there didn't seem to be one today.  We also celebrate birthdays at the end of the month with ice cream and cake, but we haven't done that, either.  I haven't talked to my brother Al, since he returned from his trip.  I still have relations, cousins, that aren't whacko right wingers.  There is a line in The Cain Mutiny where Captain Queeg is on the stand and Gene Kelly whispers to his client, "Just you watch; the main event hasn't even begun yet".  So it is with Mitt Romney.  We've all known that next Wednesday will signal Mitt Romney's major flame-out right before our eyes on Television.  Romney by his mature is the man who, no matter extensively he prepares for this debate, which he ought to be used to doing he's had so much practice,  nonethelsss will prove inept and ill-prepared simply because Mitt Romney doesn't know how to relate to ordenary, normal people.  And this fatal personality flaw is his undoing. 

Obama, widely seen as having snubbed Netanyahu by not meeting face to face with him during his U.S. visit, spoke instead by phone to the Israeli prime minister amid signs of movement toward a truce in their war of words over how to confront Tehran.  Netanyahu used his U.N. speech a day earlier to keep pressure on Washington to set a "red line" for Tehran, something Obama has refused to do. But in a softening of his approach, the hawkish Israeli premier signaled that no attack on Iran was imminent before the November 6 U.S. presidential election.  With an eye to the close presidential contest, Netanyahu also fielded a call during his New York visit from Obama's Republican rival, Mitt Romney, who has accused the president of being too hard on a close ally and not tough enough on Iran.  Romney has sought to use Obama's differences with Netanyahu to raise doubts with Jewish-American voters about Obama's commitment to Israel's security.  Obama's aides believe, however, that he has played his cards right with Netanyahu, with whom the president has had a notoriously testy relationship. Netanyahu's strident complaints about U.S. policy on Iran in mid-September plunged U.S.-Israeli relations into crisis, but also spurred a backlash at home and in the U.S. media for seeming to meddle in American politics. In recent days, the Israelis have sought to dial down the rhetoric, culminating in Netanyahu's speech to the General Assembly, which was seen as sending a message that Israel would not blindside Washington with a unilateral attack on Iran any time soon.  "The two leaders underscored that they are in full agreement on the shared goal of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," the White House said in a summary of their 20-minute phone conversation.  The White House said the two agreed to continue their cooperation, but it stopped short of saying Obama had given any ground on his resistance to issuing an ultimatum to Tehran, as Netanyahu has repeatedly demanded.  "I had a very good conversation with President Obama," Netanyahu told Israel television. "Our teams are talking."  An Obama aide went further, saying, "The temperature is lower than it had been."

They have received another tip as to where Jimmy Hoffa’s body was buried after his mafia hit on July 30^th of 1975.  We know he isn’t buried under the goal posts in Giants stadium.  But other tips have been received over the years and they have followed up on them.  Now they are digging up the concrete in this guy’s driveway tomorrow to see if they can find any traces of a human body at all after 37 years.  The only mafia person the Federation knows about is Johnny Roselli, as mentioned previously.  The Federation only says “We have learned a lot of valuable information about the mafia from him”.    Of course the general media knows a lot more about the mafia workings in this day and age anyhow because of various criminal prosecutions.

Anne Romney has a condition that’s aggravated by stress and over-exertion and Anne told him “Don’t do it” when it came to running in 2012 and he disregarded his wife’s wishes.  Some lady has suggested he set up some foundation like other rich people.  He’s never made it clear just why he personally wants this job, which would be nice to know.  This lady doesn’t like his eyes darting, and Randy points to the way he stutters when he gets nervous, and he begins repeating himself.  This is Friday September 28, 2012, which makes it 928 or zip code of Anaheim day.  Now there are only two and a half days before getting paid.  Many thought that Jim Webb was sticking it to Romney in introducing the President.  Now there is a survey that points out that Bush, as unpopular as he is- - is NOT as “unpopular” as Romney is now.

We have a live and local triple play for you.  David Cruise says there was a guy who was being followed by TV cameras and he got out of his car he’d parked by the side of the road leaving his dog in the car and then torched the car he had filled with gasoline from the inside.  He had a shot gun with him and then he aimed it at his head and fired killing himself.  FOX cameras were rolling.  David Cruise says it’s irresponsible for a news cameraman not to have “anticipated” this is what he would do and pulled live coverage in flash.  Apparently after the video went out Live - - all possible of the video in the studio were eliminated- - erased, in what he calls a “Chinese purge”.  My complaint against Cruise is that there is rampant moral hypocracy going on.  We’ve all seen the suicide scene in “A few good men”.  We’ve seen shocking scenes in movies.  We’ve seen movies dripping with blood and gore and mayhem.  And yet if there is something “really happening” that is observed- - this is not allowed.  I don’t get it.  Are we supposed to deny the reality of death?  Is the only thing we cover Live something that’s so tightly scripted we know every last detail of what will happen in advance?  Then there is what they call the “Second Coming of Carmageddon”.  David Cruise says though ten miles of the San Diego freeway are shut down, events on the other side of town like the Santa Ana and the San Bardanino freeways will be impacted because the “logjam” point of our freeway web has such a low tollerence.  Well’ they are issuing so many warnings it will most likely be like last time when the biggest surprise of all was that - - nothing happened.  Finally we have the story where David Cruise and I are in agreement but we seem to be the only ones.  Everyone else is going ga-ga over the City Council approving by a unanamus vote of fourteen to nothing- - this whole “Farmers Field” football stadium.  That’s obviously about the dumbest name they could have picked.  They are going to tear down an existing Convention Center to build it, in an area that is already densely populated and traveled.  David Cruise suggest we use that money instead not for a crap shoot where there is NO indication at all that ANY NFL football team desires to come to Los Angeles, at least that I’ve heard.  The money could be better used to build up infrastructure and education, for starters.  Why roll the dice on landing a football team, seemingly on no more evidence than a wing and a prayer- - knowing that if we DO land a franchise- - traffic will truly become a nightmare around the downtown area.  Frankly- - I don’t see the appeal.  Los Angeles has done just fine these past seventeen years without a National Football League team.

Obama Leads in Catholic Vote 54% to 39%

Apparently it's true.  The President has opened up no less than a fifteen point spread between himself and Mitt Romney 54% to 39%.  That's amazing!  Even if Pat Buchannon says the majority of those are not "real Catholics" but Hispanics.  Just like we said some tea party people say you're not a "real Jew" unless you favor the invasion of Iran.  On that subject the President made it pretty clear in his UN speech if anyone on the right was listening, that neither will the United States tollerate an Iran with Nukes.  And of course the President shines in foreign affairs because he has decimated Al Qaeda even if it means vastly accelerated use of Drones killing innocent civilians.  The President has opened up a nine point lead 51% to 42% among the general US population over Romney.  And one Poll shows the President leading in Florida by nine points, though I think that figure is more like four or five percent.  Around here there is a rising Obama tide among the residents.  Today Phyllis Green, a hard nosed Born Again conservative, came down on Rush Limbaugh hard today because he's too vicious against people who he doesn't like, and she doesn't even appreciate his coming down on the President the way he does.  Of course David Shaner and Joe Drisco are major turn-arounds for Obama.  Of course the tea party has only telling lies left in there arsenal now.  Now there is a viral E mail going around that the Affordable Care act slaps a one percent charge on all customer bank transactions.  But rather it's a one percent tax on these high speed wall street stock trades, which will slow the speculative action way down.  Of course much of the oil price run up is due to speculative action and according to some on the radio, they say it's because conodities speculation regulations were laxed up.  At any rate the next major move in gasoline prices is slated to be downward, which is bad news for Romney.  Also there are more fuel efficient cars out now.  And as people trade in their gas guzzler for an economy car, fuel prices may be cut almost in half right there, for that motorist.  In more bad news for Romney, now the department of labor reports that there are 386,000 new jobs added that weren't counted before.  It would be interesting to see whether any unemployment figures are revised downward.  People exagurate tax hikes to come because they are targeted and only apply to a small sector of the tax payers at large.  People are wondering when Mitt Romney is going to ever ditch the erpetual smirk on his face, or that phoney laugh that he has - - at all the inappropiate moments.  But Randy Rhodes is right in that we can't ever relax because the President needs at least a four or five percent lead in the polls before we can insure that the ballot box won't be tampered with.  But in Florida they have completed their voter roll purge and there were only 36 voters or something, who turned out not to be qualified.

Dr. Oz says that one percent of the population at large has Cilliacs disease or gluten intollerence.  Gluten is a protien that gives dough its texture and makes pizza dough stretchy, and also is an ingrediant used in a host of packaged products to give soups and such a velvety rich texture.  There are nine percent more in the population, which constitute about sixty percent on Dr. Oz's graph so that is misleading.  These people can build up sensitivity to glutin over time.  Then there are the ninety percent of the population who are "gluten friendly" where gluten has NO effect no matter how much glutin they consume.  But I'm kind of thinking other things in life build up in Time and one dose doesn't produce instant revulsion.  Born Again Christianity is one such thing like that for me.  Though I still say that Born Again Christianity seems to have changed markedly in the past 35 or 40 years from what it once was.  They say those stones you sit on in the Carlsbad Cavern cabes, you never get used to.  That is, they never "warm up".  So you wait for Christianity to "warm up" and get over your insecurities about it, but that never happens with you but only continues to get worse.  Sometimes "taking a break" from something is a good stop gap measure.  Melanie wanted to "take a break" from Chad, which I understand fully.  And yet Elvis Di Mira, the boyfriend's brother - - wants to fix it so the couple spends NO time apart.  To me this is only INSURING the demise of the relation, removing all doubt.  It's the worst thing that could possibly be done.  But manipulaters like Chad, or Born Again Christians, either one, do not trust themselves or the other person enough to put the love relationship through a minor test to see whether it's even real.  If being gone a few weeks ENDS the relationship, there was never really anything there to begin with.  That Chad dares not to test his girlfriend's Love for him even this much- - is pretty much proof he has no faith in the ability of making the relationship last.  I must admit usually it's women who pull this kind of shit.  Samantha and Raphael share one kiss and she thinks she owns him now.  Born Again preachers dare not allow you to "think about it" when deciding whether or not to "Come to the altar and accept Jesus into your heart" because they are deathly afraid that outside their presence and all the social pressure- - clearer thinking will lead the prospective convirtee to a different conclusion.  As you know last Saturday the last thing I wanted was to be bombarded by all these E mails from the far right because they and the conversation that followed that afternoon and evening were highly counter-productive, if the goal was to convert me into voting for Romney.  Now when I hear Mitt Romney make one almost lucid observation about something- - - his words in my hearing are tempered by the fact that I know all the dingbats he is counting for support, not to mention the ones that are financing him, and the ones who are telling him what to say to begin with.  In general it's hard to listen to ANYTHING Mitt Romney says now without being filled with instant revulsion and disgust.  I nave never had such a personal dislike for any man running for President.  And I know that once he gets in - - IF he gets in- - - America as we know it may no longer exist.

That Sam Basille movie producer guy has been arrested by the Feds for parole violation.  As you know Basille was serving time for bank fraud and identity fraud.  Among the terms of his parole from prison was an assertion he would not use the computer or the internet.  He violated this with impugnity when he put his sleazy movie on You Tube a few months ago.  I guess he's in court right now.  They said they were going to install a media feed.  I guess this guy is a martyr to those on the Right just like George Zimmerman.  I can almost hear certain people saying "The Obama AG is going after him to fulfill a political vendetta".  It could well be this is the best favor they could do for him since he would must surely have attempts on his life if he were to stay on the Outside.  But the right will probably say we are doing it to placate the Islamic community or something.  Let them think what they will.  When people violate the law in this country they are punished.  It's just that simple.  I wish Eric Holder would be just as vigilent in prosecuting these other Political criminals out there.  For that matter I don't think this 'Make Obama a one term President' dictim of Mc Conell can be over emphasized in it's crucial impact on the past four years.  I think any congressman who signed the Grover Norquist pledge has comitted an impeachable offense, if not actual treason.  Clearly it's a "Conspiracy" to circumvent the US Constitution on a major scale.  The President should lose no oppertunity to point this out to the public in his speeches.

HERE IS A BIG OF RAMBLING NONSENSE FROM THE RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOW TODAY:
The truth would make him a one-term president, so we can't have the truth. We can't have the truth about anything. We can't have the truth about the failure of his economic policies. We can't have the truth about the failure of his foreign policy. We can't have the truth about his overall failure as a president at anything. So we have to focus on what a reprobate Romney is. We have to focus on Romney. Oh, guess what the Drive-Bys are saying is the reason that Romney's lost the election.   Did you know that? The election is over. Romney's lost, by the way, if you haven't been paying attention. Well, the election isn't for 49 days or so, but it's already over. In fact, National Review is reporting there's a poll out today that Obama's 76%, Romney 23%, with 1% undecided. (laughing) It's a satire piece. They went and talked to the Obama camp and they said, "Well, wait a minute. No, we don't think Romney's that bad. He might be at 30." But it's over. It literally over. Oh, and do you know why? You know what caused Romney to plunge? It's that 47% video. Now, I've got some audio coming up. We're gonna go back to the archives for some Detroit, Michigan, audio from early in the regime's tenure. Plus, we have some audio from yesterday. I'll ask you, after you hear it, if you think any significant number of Obama supporters has any idea what's going on in this country or cares. Obama's going for the Moron Vote. For you people in the Drive-Bys to tell us that Romney is plummeting because of the 47% video?  And that has prompted, by the way, Obama to go out there and say (impression), "I don't see any victims out there. Romney, 47%?" Mr. President, if you don't see any victims, then there's no reason for liberalism! If you don't see any victims, there's no reason for socialism. If you don't see any victims, there's no reason for big government. If you don't see any victims out there, there's no reason for you. You remember the Detroit audio. If you don't, I'm not gonna remind you. You'll hear it.
We have a new chapter, a new phase, a new addition to it coming right up.
END TRANSCRIPT

Mitt Romney's Job - "To Harvest Capital from Corporations"

.Mitt Romney admitted that his goal with Bain capital was buying ongoing companies- - and then six or eight years later to “Harvest” their profits.  We know that means continuously running up the corporate debt until he’s bankrupted these companies.  It means “make a profit at all cost”.  Ed Schultz just played the tape on his radio show.  Thom Hartman has spoken of the value of anything derives mainly from "what is done with it", and so a car is worth a lot more than a hunk of metal, and a hunk of metal is worth more than raw iron ore.  It would seem someone from a Caribean Island would ask the Mitster "Que hace in America".  That is what did Romney produce with his own hands?  The answer would be "Hago nada".  Romney's "fruits" are bitter indeed. It used to be from World War II to 1973 - for those thirty years - that US worker's wages kept up with increasing productivity.  Today the productivity of the US worker is sky high.  In fact it is so high as per their wages, that now many companies ON THEIR OWN are deciding to relocate back in this Country now.  Now Romney is shown to have invested in a Russian company even though Romney says “Russia is the most dangerous country in the world”.  Now in China with those “labor camps” we discussed last week, management is installing “suicide nets” because the workers would rather jump off a ledge and kill themselves rather than continue with their unbearable jobs  As you know Mitt Romney - was in the market to be the owner of such a sweat shop - was told "Don't worry about the barbed wire fences and guard towers - - these are to keep other people out".  Apparently Romney hired one aid who specializes in tearing up Democratic voter registration forms.  And he was too corrupt for even the Florida Republican Party.  This topic was raised again today on Ed Schult'z show.  I hope Eric Holder investigates.  Now Romney has the gall to say that “his heart aches for the unemployed”, which is pure bullshit. As the axiom goes "You shall know them by their actions". Now in an interview Romney says that “this sort of compassion is what we accomplished in Massachusetts with Health Care there”.  I’m scratching my head.  Did Romney just flip flop again?  Apparently the next few days Romney will be prepping for the upcoming Debates next week.  Romney will need it.  Obama is of course ten points up in Ohio over Romney.
 

Someone should really institute a “Take Back Christianity” movement from the extremist tea party right wing.  It's been so long since I've been around non tea party Christians I've forgotten what it's like, or what "the Church" even used to stand for.  Chuck Smith is “one of them” I learned from Paul last Saturday.  He’s bought into this whole “2016” clap trap saying Obama was a Moslem from Keyna and a socialist and all of that.  Chuck Smith is still active in Christian life.  I didn’t know that.  I had no idea for sure where Chuck Smith stood on this extremist stuff, but now I know.  “Ye shall know them by their fruition” as the saying might go.  I did “Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits” about six months ago and I’d like to track that posting down now and read it.  One of the revelations I gleaned from it was that Calvary Chapel hates Black Sabbath songs because that group is anti war, which is an intolerable state of affairs for a man like Chuck.  Chuck once said “I hope I am never standing in God’s way with old wine skins becoming out of date to what God wants to accomplish in a future generation”.  Clearly Calvary Chapel is living on its past glories- - of at one time being open and all of that- - but No More.  The whole thing is these people have been self obsessed egoists who “Lead with their Id’s”.  The normal psychological structure with the Superego or Idealized Self on top, is completely flip-flopped by these people.  If you catch yourself adopting any of their personality traits, know that you have just degraded your personality.  Really is there is any truth at all in Neil of KFI’s remarks about how “Christianity gives you grave under fire’ and all of that and people ask, “How do you handle the stress in all of your life and not let it get to you or throw you off the track?”  Really you should look to President Obama for the answer of that question and whatever kind of a Christian the President is, you should seek to emulate him and find out just how “He” manages to do it.

In the news the NFL has settled their beef with the referees, and the regular refs will be working tonight’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns.  I hope the game is on free TV somewhere.  As you know this whole thing was brought to a head in Monday's game ending phoney catch where Seattle was awarded a catch reception, touchdown, and the game, at the expense of Green Bay and every other fan, even Paul Ryan, with a luck of sense.  Proposition 37 is another of these bogus measure.  There seem to be a lot of vital measures on next month’s ballot.  Proposition 30 is the one where taxes on a few rich people get hiked, which Paul and Judy no doubt will vote down.  After all whenever Mom dies with her ever increasing assets, they’ll both be millionaires. At least very close to it.  It’s no wonder they’re starting to think the way they do.  Cutting taxes to produce jobs is like a person just out of the hospital with pneumonia stripping down on a cold day to run a race, because he thinks few clothes will make up for his utterly unfit physical condition.  But Proposition 37 involves food labeling of genetically altered foods.  No certain things like foreign foods, eggs and dog food may be exempt, but these aren’t the problem.  Grains and produce are, and these jokers who run the ‘No” adds, damn well know that.  It’s just another big money con job.  When you consider it’s chemical companies like Monsanto sponsoring the “No on 37” ads, this explains everything.  I now have less than four days before I get to go to the ATM.  You can barter coffee for cigarettes, but you can’t barter cigarettes for coffee as a rule, except maybe with John Metz.  Therefore it’s more important for me to get coffee and not cigarettes- - assuming Sarah will take me to the bank to clear papa dollar and mama dollar out of my bank account.

  In other news,  Paul Ryan just gave his ten year old little girl a rifle for her birthday.  Another father in some anti fear campaign put alligators in his pool with their mouths taped shut, because alligators are better at clamping down than opening their mouths.  Now there are tea party attacking Jews "because they aren't pro Israel enough" meaning like the majority in Israel itself, they don't want war with Iran.  Randy Rhodes remarks these are the same people who don't know how to properly wear a Jewish yamica, and probably speak in a fake Yiddish accent.  J K Rowling’s “first novel for adults” is going on sale today.  It’s called a “Dark” novel with a certain amount of autobiographical traits.  There is a revolt of school children dumping vegetables in mass into the trash and good trash has gone up several fold all around the country because of the schools serving crap that kids won’t eat.  Apparently Politico was wrong when they said that “stench” was Paul Ryan’s new nickname for Romney.  Apparently the word was actually used by an aid to Ryan that says “You’ll have to wash the stench of Mitt Romney off you when you run again”.   Of course you know how the crowd in Ohio got out of control when they began hollering ‘Ryan - - Ryan” at a Romney rally and Romney kept telling the crowd to yell for him.  Why would you want somebody who doesn’t know better than to ask how come windows of jets that fly at forty thousand feet won’t roll down?

George Washington warned about Party factions:  The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty
