All the Lying Politicians

If your "camp" or side is never told the Truth, every other judgement you make from that point on is in error.  And if you share that error with others, everyone you talk to is similarly misinformed and "Less smart for having heard what you said".  Sean Hannity lies like a rug.  He was going around the streets of New York telling everybody they owed $700,000 on the National Debt.  They are off by a factor greater than ten.  The actual figure is $54,545.   I checked and double checked with the calculator.  This figure will only hold if there is zero inflation.  But then Hannity said “Actually a new born baby will owe over a million on the same amount”.   It wouldn’t matter whether it’s a new born baby or an 89 year old man ready to kick the can, the figure would still be $54,545.   But Linda is such a trash talker anyhow.  When has she said anything positive about anything?  She’s one of those “negative energy people you don’t want to be around” in my humble opinion.  They kept talking about gays at the St Patrick’s Day parade and something about vomiting in the subway at eight o clock in the morning.  I think they were being theatrical.  Does Linda come into work at eight for a three o clock radio program EDT?  And then there was an overall trashing of the typical voter of New York city.  Linda is like Judy.  She thinks she knows everything.  

Bruce Rouner wants to extend open carry gun laws to bars, churches, and hospitals.  This guy really is a “Ruiner” and I can’t even picture how he got elected, except that every Republican dingbat long-shot got elected last November.  There was talk on the show about how if you’re not rich you’re basically a loser because the corporations tell you what to eat and what to wear and you too can live in a lavish lifestyle.  You see it on ads all the time.  Of course if anything approaching “back to traditional values” ever took hold where all your kids did not want the latest fashions and toys and gadgets, then the gross national product would collapse and the so called “experts” would be panicked.  There was talk about black people growing their own food on local farms rather than continue to languish in a “food desert”.  This is Thursday morning March 19, 2015, the day the swallows return to Capistrano.  From a cosmic point of view (especially if you're a Romulan) the only place in the whole "South County" (south of Irvine area) where the “spiritual climate” is half way decent is San Clemente.  I got up at a quarter to six and was anxious this morning.  I got a cigarette from Nancy Bell, even though she’ll be out of cigarettes by Saturday.  I talked to Luan Bui (that’s his last name) and he’s out of cigarettes for the week.  I’m out of cigarettes for the rest of the month.  But on that KEIB “Hatriot radio” station- - there is this guy advertising for a program where he says that anybody who is not in the top ten percent of income- - is basically a loser.  That’s what he said.

Magic Johnson is giving Mayor Rom Emanuel a quarter million dollars to his reelection campaign.  It’s a republican idium to call Union leaders – “Union Bosses”.  No.  The boss is the guy who employs you and you have to negotiate with to get pay and working conditions.  Unions worked and they boosted the living standard of middle America between 1940 and 1980/  Why is this era of Unions with its high living standard - - now painted as a bad era by Republicans?  You may know that Wall Mart just raised their wages so now Target feels pressure to raise their raises to a whopping - - nine dollars an hour- - to compete.  So the employment situation alone if exerting pressure to raise wages.  Larry Elder of course says “free market forces” will cure any problem- - even slavery and segregation.  How does Larry Elder feel about higher wages for instance- - people of his own race?   Because it’s my belief that conservatives would love it if their entire work force worked for three dollars an hour like some illegal immigrants.

Here is news from Soap land.  Stephano kicked both Kate Roberts and Chad off the board of Di Mira enterprises.  Stephano said that he “forgave” son Chad for some sin I don’t even remember now- - but just because you’re forgiven it doesn’t mean that you’re trusted.  I would imagine this conversation with God.  God says I’m forgiven, and I say “Then how come you don’t trust me.  Could it be perhaps because what  I did?  And if it is can it truly be said I’ve been forgiven for it?”  Chad sided with Stephano in the vote to oust Kate, and Stephano rewards him by kicking him to the curb.  Brady was injected with some drug, and his money was stolen.  Brady doesn’t even suspect what happened.  I had on “two for a Tuesday” at lunch on KLOS.  I listened to two songs each by Lennard Skynard, Bonjovi, Pink Floyd, and the Police- - and all eight commercial free.

According to Thom Hartman, neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis want peace, because peace does not serve any leader's interest.  Yasser Aarafat could have had peace in 2000 and he turned down a generous offer (according to Israeli leaders)   Now there is talk that Israel is not the nation it was even twenty years ago.  That polls find a great deal of animosity toward Arabs who are Israeli citizens and don't believe Arabs should even be allowed seats in the parliament.  Callers are predicting that "Netenyahoo wants war with Iran and he's going to have his little war with Iran and everybody, including Obama knows it, and it's a question of waiting for the inevitable.

In terms of the mayoral run-off election in Chicago, they had a debate last night and seemingly "neither candidate was straightforward with the voters".   Chewey Garcia is "flying blind" and "doesn't know anything" till he gets into office and "learns where all the bones are burried".  Apparently Rom Emanual is associated with so called "typical big city thug politics" of the past.  I've heard accusations that Rom Emanuel is "not a real democrat".  He still has that "black site" police detention facility where you can be imprisoned without having charges filed against you, forced into stress positions for long periods of time, and are not allowed to make so much as one phone call.  There is a twenty million dollar deficet in the city of Chicago and neither has a plan to fix the budget, except that property taxes will be raised regardless of who wins.  Of course we are locked into the absurd straight jacket here in California by proposition 13 from 1978 on.  Prior to the passage of proposition 13 we weren't faced with these constant fiscal crises in this state.  What this did was vindicate my "No" vote at the time.  And in general I don't like putting in motion measures that will cause nothing but problems in the future as far as the eye can see.   Personally life is pretty crappy for me right now.  I have a money crisis- - and am basically broke for the rest of the month.  Yesterday was a rather stormy day for me.
