Devious But Compitent





What's best for Who?
With the  approaching presidential elections in the future the GOPers, brain trust got together  to get to work on possible election  problems.
#1 "We may get some Dem negative publicity using Bush Dynasty  accusations".  "OK we get Rush , Fox News, and what you to do is repeat, whenever, wherever and as often as possible, the phrase  "Clinton Dynasty." So when the accusations come,  voters will equate the families, blunt the criticism and of course maybe  they wont even use it. 
Next, "We didn't FUND embassy security money requested by Hillary which will make us look bad in view of what happened at Benghazi. That could  be serious. OK what do we do.
King maker
We blame Hillary." How?  "She's Secretary of state isn't she? That's a cinch and we connect her, no matter how loosely, with anything we can make up stuff too.  We have regular media people on the payroll don't we, and we can also use news releases. Get that congressman, from California. Izza I think his name is. Make him the head of an investigative committee."  "He's perfect for the job?"  "He's stupid, what you ask doesn't matter.. He'll love it."  "Throw so much crap at her she wont know which roll of toilet paper to use". Saturate the media.
This is GOPer thinking.  And they don't miss a trick.  Karl Rove is a master, Chaney not far behind and he adores money. We all saw them out a CIA agent, for goodness sake. Talk about self interest over your country.

Utopia

Utopia from politicians who want followers. Standard shit. Berny Sanders  is  no exception. Some of his promises may make sense but getting them seems to be beyond his capabilities.
During his 25 years inside Washington his best accomplishment, according to  my thinking, was to inspire hope in commune leaders who gathered their followers in and near his territory, but they are all long gone.
On the other hand Hillary,  with sincerity of purpose not only voted but helped and has worked hard for the benefit of people causes. Like SS. M/M and PP.
The outstanding characteristic of Obama, is his sincerity of purpose. Make mistakes?  If you're afraid to cross a street you will never get to the other side. So yes, expect him and yourself to make mistakes.
Did (hopefully) future first pop make mistakes? Of course but he showed if you have sincerity, entire country can  prosper. Balanced Budget. Sur[plus, unbelievable with GOP opposition? Unbelievable what he accomplished. The name Clinton is beloved and identified worldwide with leadership.

Funny, No HaHa

You have to laugh
We are in the middle of the greatest  TV laugh entertainment cycle ever.  The GOP has a set of unbelievable clowns running around saying they are presidential material, spending millions to make us laugh. But you're seeing this stuff yourself, you don't need me. 
On the Democrat side, the democrats have been responsible for all the meaningful legislation, like Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare, and now Obama Care and Dems support terrific charitable organizations like ACORN and Planned Parenthood.  And now the GOPers have screwed up. A congressman leader from California, admitted that the Benghazi committee was designed SPECIFICALLY to DROP Hillary's poll numbers and to silence potential questions that the GOP was complicit in what happened because they voted against beefing up security for our embassies around the world.. Another GOP congressman Smith backed him up.  In my opinion the committee was also designed to smother questions on that fact. The funds requested, by then Secretary Clinton, were  to be used to beef up security at our embassies, that request was killed by the GOP. If indeed the funds had been approved, its possible those who died in Benghazi might still be with us. The accusations about Benghazi would  have been hard to answer by the GOP because some think as I said, the GOP was culpable... It points to GOP leaders using their brains, not to help the country but rather to devise sinister methods for winning elections. And make no mistake about this. There is a constant WAR by the GOP ) against Social Security, (since 1933},  Today other wars have started, Planned Parenthood, Medicaid/Medicare, and now Obama Care. The only thing between the GOP WAR against these sensible programs for the people is the Democratic party. 
Our Post Office is another example. Hopefully you can get a laugh out of this unfunny devious scheme,  . . . . .
No lethal button!
Lets start with their premise that the GOP wants to privatize the P.O. because it needs fixing. and will save the taxpayers money. That's what they said.. So. . . . .what did they do? A GOP controlled congress passed a law that the pension program for P.O. employees should be self funded and not on the back of taxpayers. That even sounded sensible to me at the time. Hmm, I have memories of a few GOP friends. Were those scallywags setting me up? Anyway do you know the P.O. is not only making a profit, it has been doing so for a few years. Billions in profits. So why isn't that something everybody knows?.  Well that law that they  passed, you know the one that makes it easier on our backs, it requires them to put aside every year, for a lot of years, about four or five billion a year that has to be treated on accounting forms, as a liability making it look like they are not making a profit..(Wonder if it was privatized, could they use any of that 'liability' for exec bonuses?)

The reason GOP stuff sounds like a conspiracy using disreputable actors following a script, like what they used when they murdered ACORN and started using against Planned Parenthood, is their TV ad showed these actors playing parts, actors in the movie playing parts as if they we working for PP doing stuff they like they did when they killed ACORN  and they pretended this was happening in real time. In the Planned Parenthood case the judge asked questions which revealed the conspiracy and the judge charged them with illegal acts. Too late for ACORN.
The present GOP leaders have brought dishonor and shame to their party.

As for the Dems' rivalry, Berny has shouted how he is a friend of Planned Parenthood. Well many times people have said they were friends of mine and maybe they were. But I always responded to the assertion, by saying, you don't tell me who my friends are, you ASK me. Planned Parenthood was asked and to clear up the matter  endorsed Hillary.

A 60th Street Miracle

Me?


I don't know where or how but some time ago I discovered what I thought was an original thought.  "We are all in a world of our own." And we make it what we want it to be by the things we do. What is obvious about this is, if we do stuff, it means we approve of what we are doing, so anyone close enough to you can read the actions which show who you are.  One of my talents, is reading other people . This explains everything. As a n example, on the periphery of our group of kids there was this girl Helene, we were 13 or 14, whose father stuck his nose wherever he could to help her socially. Stupid stuff.  Not A stuff  but I gave him his A for effort.    One night he encouraged her to have a home party with terrific food. Cold cuts of ham and cheese and corn beef, and delicious rye bread and soda and other goodies and then she had use of the house with no adults in it. The adults went out with friends to a movie or what have you. Stupid. I think you saw a picture or two written by a different me, one who could write.
Somewhere in time the kids started a fire on the floor in the living room that definitely ruined the rug. The smell of the fire brought me into the room and I ran back to the kitchen to get a big pot of water and doused most of the fire before another pot put it out completely. Helene went to a corner and was sobbing.  All the other kids scattered out as fast as they could. I went over and consoled her and suddenly realized everybody had left. She didn't stop sobbing and put her head on my shoulder. Next thing you know I'm patting her back and accidently I massage a part of her where it definitely is a little softer. I could feel soft swelling.   This area became the focus of my consoling massage and Helene kept sobbing, a little, but offered no resistance. Suddenly kissing was added and more messaging including some on the inside of her leg, above the knee.  There was genuine cad in the house. Thinking about it now I blame it on my being a part of the animal world.
I liked Helene. She had well shaped features but her choice of glasses and hair style did make her look very plain.  But that had nothing to do with anything.  It was me at that age. And if that was a stage of growth I don't think I ever grew out of that stage.  I will take a soft girl over a run in the park any day.  Anyway we continued hot and heavy but every time I reached a certain upward point of advancement, above the knee, a hand came down to interfere with my progress.
Some months later on a corner of 60th Street and Spruce, Jerry Cooperman is talking to a few listeners. I can hear him saying . . . . . .Helene and . . . .I walk away. Jake comes over and asks, what's a matter Howard don't you believe him. "What does it matter if I do or don't believe him but since you asked, no I don't." I say. But I'm boiling.
Fast forward a little and I'm home on sick furlough for a while and I meet Jerry who just got home on furlough too and we are talking on the same corner.
He is saying, cmon Howard you've been home a coupla weeks you must have a  number or two you can share with me . . . . .when I see Helene coming down 60th on the other side of Spruce.  "Jerry, this is your lucky day, here comes Helene, look she's  crossing the street."
"Helene?" he says, Its like beating your head against a brick wall."
When we were about 8 and 9, me 8, we got into an argument and he whacked me with the wooden end of a rubber gun rifle.  My brother came along and asked what, how and I told him.  He grabbed Jerry, they were the same age but my bother was obviously stronger.  He belted Jerry a few belts until he left crying.
But my real dislike was directed toward Jake.  I never liked him.  But because of that dislike I met and took Rae out on a date that resulted in a Miracle.  She married me.

Eggs? Regulations?

REGULATIONS ??
Republicans agree we don't need regulations.  One of their candidates for president, Ron Paul says,  " Lets do away with all regulations."  Perfectly understandable to me.  Maybe he's one of those people who just doesn't care about eating eggs or flying in airplanes, for that matter.


Delicious  (Brown,large}
500,000,000 (five hundred MILLION? Yep.)  That is the number of  eggs which were recalled late in 2010 because some people died and a lot of people got sick from eating contaminated eggs.  The farms responsible for producing the eggs were owned by a company that bought and relocated egg farms located in other states around the country, to Iowa.  Why Iowa?  Iowa had no sanitary regulations for egg farms.{maybe they still don't}  You mean saving money is more important than pubic health?   Republicans think this is a good way to attract business to Iowa.  And Libertarians think no regulation is a good regulation.  As for me, I love eggs and I don't want to worry if I should or should  not eat eggs.  I also like feeling safe when I'm flying on a plane or driving on a bridge in my car. When you start thinking about it, are they kidding?

Code, I'm writing code!!


Angry Birds What a winner
I can't believe it.  I just wrote the first code I ever wrote.  The code I wrote made  a smiley face.  And then I made its eyes bigger.  And I made lots of rectangles,  all sizes.  Next thing, . . . . uh oh, there goes the phone.  (Here's the address of the web site;)                   www.code.org
Click it and they'll show you how to write code in 1 hour.  Oh, Boy.  I'm gonna write my own game app.  Gonna call it, "Pissed Off Ants".  (Or maybe just 'Piss Ants' ) I can see those little guys running all over the place.
Gotta hurry, I have to answer the phone.    Maybe its  Disney calling me to offer me a job. (with Pixar?)   . . . . . . . . .

Lymrics

Hillary
There was this man with an ego, named Trump
Who owned a very large hair goo pump
His thumb looked like a boil
From using so much oil
Causing the market in barrels of oil, to jump.
 
Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi,
GOPers kept saying Benghazi.
When Hillary's numbers went down,
They jumped up and down.
HOORAHzi, HOORAHzi, HOORAHzi.
