No longer feeling Lucky

A friend died today. He was about 20 pounds, and 14" tall. He had the most amazing big brown eyes, like 2 buttons, and white hair. He liked to nip, and have his k9s pulled, and most of all he liked his deep butt massage! If I didn't bring his girlfriend around, he would scream at me- with the highest pitched voice you've ever heard. Any higher and you couldn't have heard it at all. I didn't like to visit with him unless I brought his girlfriend, I got the message. He thought the TV was a window into his yard, and the front house window was TV. He thought that Donkey in Shrek, was a dog, because of it's short legs and over-sized head. Lora (his owner) says he was 15 years old, which is remarkably old for a small dog, and sadly her first dog. Mostly, Lucky lived up to his name well, though Happy would have been an even better named for him. While he was just a lap rat, and pizza beggar, and not a wonder dog, he goes down on the list of pets to be remembered fondly. You were a good friend, and it was an honor to have known you, Lucky Monster.

And they call me cynical?

This was clearly 4 years ago, when George Bush thought he had political capital to spend on Privatizing Social Security. Besides what they want to do to Medicare, now! George Carlin was just a bit too cynical in this one, but he wasn't exactly wrong, either.



How ironic that George delivers this message from the grave yard? He was a better prophet that radio man, and his Rapture (5/21/11).

You might be wondering who is behind this stuff of destroying education? That's a link to Think Progress, by the way, to tell you who's behind the destruction of public education. They don't have to remain nameless!

Common Man Pac

That's right you ordinary people. We need a voice! Our trouble is that there are just too god damn many of us, which leads to too many opinions from being the stupid tools of Wall Street, pissing in the pure stream of righteousness. And too many of us that believe in Common Sense! When Common Sense just becomes actually Common, then there something clearly wrong with it! We need to reduce our numbers greatly, before we become a cancer to the nation.

Now the good news is that 20% are going to commit suicide, so it's the other 80% that are still the problem- we appreciate your sacrifice, not enough of you are taking this option seriously. Enough with the optimism, it's unproductive.

I think we can shed off another 40% of you dumbfucks just with better education, so that will become a primary objective. Better education from grade to graduate school. If you choose to be a bartender with an advanced degree, well we appreciate the moral support, but we really think you should move on to doing better things.

Smoking will help reduce these number farther, as well accidental death. So we will want a lot less safe work space, and more and more cigarette breaks, and less tobacco taxes. This should help reduce the Federal defecate too.

We are opposed to drunkenness, because drinker do live longer, and we're out to reduce the number of common men by other means than murder, so we do not want to make the highway system less safe. The highways are dangerous enough without our help.

That should take our numbers down a good 72% from their current highs. And restore Common Sense to being the rare (belittling) commodity it should be, for the uneducated to scoff with.

Getting it together

Still not a single jobs bill idea from Republican's in Congress.
Obama produces real birth certificate, "Now we need to get onto serious business."
Obama made funny video for the Nerd Ball.
Obama unleashes Justice Department to investigate market manipulation particularly in gasoline.
Obama puts a bullet in Osama's head.
Suddenly Gas prices start to fall.
Hmmm???
He might actually turn into the hard nose president we elected him to be.
Stealth Helicopters; oh so cool!

Instant Karma

There is knee jerk chatter from both liberals and conservatives this morning about the meaning of the death of Bin Laden. All of which is just chatter and speculation, nobody really knows what will happen next. In the short term, the fact are that these threats have not gone away, there are still those who HATE America (meaning the USA), who still have plans to do us harm. The question is, can they actually carry out those plans?

Head of the snake.
Here the liberals have a point about the power of just one man. No organization can stand on it's own without a strong leader. And when we say strong, we actually mean very RICH leader. Wealth attacks wealth. Bin Laden being cut off, could starve the rest of the beast over time. There will be a time in which giving will increase to compensate for the loss out of anger. However, anger passes, and with it so do donations. And no organization can survive a lack of capital.

Battle for leadership.
One of the mistakes of Al Qaeda, is the belief that small CELLS can keep the movement going, regardless of what happens. But now, you do have a power vacuum, which any number of empty headed egomaniacs are going to try and fill. When they discover they are not the only ones, they will try and kill as many competitors has possible, and turn organization with a purpose into cancer. (This is chaos, so there no telling what it will bring.)

The Atomic bomb.
This revenge claim is very doubtful. Maybe a dirty bomb, but atomic? We spent 15 years after Bin Laden (many of you forget the USS Kole). How far across the earth can you run, if you go atomic?

We must be vigilant for a while. But for the most part, I will sleep well at night in a world without that monster in it.
