That lunatic is on the roof again! I know you've already tuned me out! It's just noise. I know. It's ok, I'll survive.
This is about getting back to basics. I don't think I can be A-political, but I can tone it down. I know a lot of you want that. Even though we have none who are loyal readers anymore. At least none that I know of.
Blogging, for me at least, is sharing a belief in a better future, against a toxic environment. Yet, there are those who crave all the bitterness and poison? I don't know what to do with you? To be a good light entertainment blogger, you need to read other bloggers. Something, I stopped doing. I'm just wearing too many hats, trying to do too much.
Tweets and FB are networking. And old people like myself, don't network much! We're in our rut, talking to the same people all the time. Doing our own thing, and not sharing it anymore. Maybe that's middle-age, I don't know? I just know, I can't inspire my friends like I use to. So they really don't inspire me much either.
I don't know, I'm trying to get back into that right frame of mind. To write and be happy, which isn't easy when your sick. Yes, I have a cold, it's stubborn, as stubborn as me. So I'm not on top of the world, just on top of the roof, again!

Faith of our fathers
There is a certain level of craziness that is considered normal and acceptable. I don't have to say anymore, and already you know I'm talking about religion. Why do you think that is? The crutch of the needy, and ego of the powerless? What is it that turns people into such needy fools? The delusion that by regret and tears, you're absolved from being such an asshole? But it's the social neediness that annoys me so much. I know for a fact that reading the Bible is on the top of everybody's list, that never ever gets done. Because if you actually read that thing, your faith would be crushed by the realization that god is a monster, who only talks to lunatics.
Everything must fit within an orderly fashion, even when it doesn't. That's the proof of God, and his control? There's a double edge there, that will cut you as bad going back as forward.
I know, I now have most of you so pissed off now, that you can hardly breath. You must turn away, before you have to confront REAL TRUTH! But it is not my intent to bash God, only religion. I don't think they are the same thing. Anyone who tells that Man was made in God's image, is an arrogant fool that knows nothing about biology. Here's a great revelation; you share 50% of your DNA with a carrot. Life is sliced that thin. There is a long way from a carrot to a man, or is there? If you did not share that much in common, than the carrot would not be a good food source.
My sister recites her prayer chant over each meal. Even though Jesus hated redundancy in prayer of recited scripts. She doesn't seem to worry so much about offending him. And I started wondering why this got started, and I realized that I live in a world post Louis Pasteur. We give thanks for our bounty without too many concerns of food safety. We understand that we must wash our hands with soap to keep from transmitting disease, and nearly everything in a jar or can has already been Pasteurized, and that our food is safest if raised to a temperature of 120 degrees inside, for several minutes. This is all 20 century thinking, and common knowledge, our great grand fathers did not know. Meals could be a death trap at any moment, as they still can, but are less likely so.
Religion always takes the side of moderation, or even BETTER PROHIBITION! Show God how much you love him by denial of sweats and pleasures. Remain stoic, firm, sober, grounded, humorless robot!
That is what God enjoys, seeing you suffer. That what religion always end up teaching! The more you make yourself suffer, the less God will have to punish you.
Facts are that Pasteurized Wine is good for you, as is Pasteurized BEER! Drinkers have longer lives than the sober. Turns out the oldest recipe in the world for beer is full of natural antibiotics. Drinkers almost never get sick from seafood. People who drink 4 to 5 cups of coffee per day, will never get Type II diabetes, which is not true for decafe drinkers!
But rather than learning self control, instead engage in denial the problem is you being a selfish asshole jerk with no self control. Survival on every level is about selfishness, and wronging each other. It's good to feel bad about that in hindsight. It's good to learn self control, and moderation, and spreading the wealth, and sharing in good things. Looking after each other, but come on, enjoy the last piece of cake! I believe that heaven belongs to though who share chips with the dog, rather than those who elevate themselves above the dog. They have as much right to the easy life, as you do.
The most ridiculous thing detested by religion is pride. Without Pride, you are not a good father or mother, you are not a patriot, you are not a good citizen. Even the thief has pride. You can not be honest and fair without pride.
The story of Moses and the Exodus is a fanciful tail, that doesn't match any history of Egypt and the kings list. There are stories of Pharaoh parting the Red Sea, 1000 years before Moses supposedly did, so let's not hang our hats on that. The story of Moses has such human frailty to it, how can it not be believable? But there is serious and real historical doubt to it. As well as an inconstant and silly God. Moses is the law giver, but the Torah was completed 500 years before the Exodus? The time line is all over the place, being anywhere from the time of Akhenaten to Ramesses II.
So the Bible is wrong about God creating the universe in 6 days, so what? If there is any lesson in life to be drawn from it, is about the arrogance of religion, over the reality of the world of natural law and order. You are responsible for yourself, both good and bad. Stop forming the universe into your image, and see all of it's wonder. Then maybe you realized that God does not look just like you, and you might not be the center of IT'S universe, and just maybe the Dolphin is?
Where the Bible is 100% correct was on one issue; The Love of Money is the ROOT of all evil. Is there any question of that? Even the myth of Midas told us that, and yet... (there's a huge can of worms right there- don't ever learn about Dionysus)

Oberman fired AGAIN?
Fuck you Comcast!
For the very first time in my life, I wish you were my cable company so I could fire you!
I would never suggest anything illegal, but the low hanging fruit belongs to cable.
Highest rated voice against the idiots, is shut down. So they are allowed to threaten the whole state of the nation unchecked?
Fuck you Comcast!
Clearly you're everything that Senator Al Franken warned us, you'd be.
STOP THE BULLSHIT! It's the fact that you seem to think we're stupid that REALLY REALLY PISSES ME OFF! You can put on any kind of programming you want, but let Keith return someplace else to beat your stupid network into the ground!
Hear that Opera? That's about the only way you'll ever get me to watch piece of shit idea of yours!
Look guys, we're not stupid enough to call it a repression of our first amendment rights, when clearly you can put on or take off any show on your own network that you want. But I'm free to make sure you pay a price too.
Fuck you Comcast! I will not be watching MSNBC or even NBC or a while.
FUCK YOU! Way to start shit heads!

Spin, spin, spin
I ask people for their honest opinion and all I hear is group think. I know liars, because of their lack of uncertainty. And I'm sure not a fan of circular reasoning. I don't know why certain people need validation to the extent that their opinion always has to be validated by the collective group. "Don't you think," is the rude question I toss at them. I don't mean to be rude, I just don't understand where you begin in thinking this way?
Then they get upset and attack me for group think, for being the parrot of my party? I reject the validation of the group think! I am my own man, with my own thoughts and ideas. I listen comedy radio, instead of Air America.
Yeah, I like afternoon (for me) MS-NBC, but I purposely avoid most of their topics in my daily conversations, unless there is something of great value in it. Which is normally a call for civility.
I was recently asked by the other side; Why do you want the government to do everything for you? Because we are being abused. So I responded; Why are you such an anarchist? And once this is a hot button term with them, they can't see that I'm not being sarcastic.
The sooner we return to being a slave state the better, so these mother fucker racists can come out of closet, and openly be racists again with group think validation.
Some of you will understand that there is a broken heart involved with this posting. I'm trying to get along, with people who don't know they are dishonest. Their paranoia is being validated by Fox News, so screw family and friends, they're over rated. That's a cult!

Oh dear
I try not to talk about irrelevant elephants. That would be Limbaugh, Palin, Beck... People who really hold no office.
But Sara, Sara, Sara? You did what we never expected; you made things worse for yourself. Are you kidding me? I end up saying this Republicans all the time; SOMETIMES it's not about you!
We expected; "That map was a bad idea. We never meant it in that way. We don't honestly believe that we are responsible for the acts of a mad man, but we are certainly sorry, and we will never do that again."
Had to blame the media again?
This is not hard stuff. This is easy stuff. If you can't handle the easy?
I'm tired of people showing her some respect; The former governor of Alaska. No, she's the RESIGNED governor of Alaska. Call the quitter, a quitter! She's never even going to be in the hunt for being President of the United States of America. Because she's a divider, who doesn't get it. It not just her America, it's mime too!
