All The Political Impostors

Late note:  At first posting I didn't like this photo.

  It was too dark so I had to lighten it up.

IF you're reading this on February 28th 2012 then this is the lead sentense of this posting.  Of course people are in a Political frame of mind today and so am I because two large states are having Primaries, and neither one of them is a Southern state where Newt is expected to mop up next week - - at three dollars an hour.  As to these Pictures you never can be entirely sure which photo is going to "blow up" nicely, and for which one Viagara is useless because you see it just isn't going to work out.  The guy to the left of him as we view this photo, by the way is a guy named Fred who has been in the hospital two months.  On Christmas Night, Seid told us he visited him in the hospital and to ignore all the roomers that have been spread about him, and not to repeat them.  Of course with that Mormon "guilt by association" thing I've got going, I doubt Fred is to the left of vary many, politically.  I don't listen to any roomers that are spread around in this place anyhow, if for the pragmatic reason that they aren't reliable.  Loretta Hill must have herself debunked at least a half a dozen of them.  Of course I got up "pretty early in the morning" today.  I think it was before five.  I'm still kind of in an "Egypt" frame of mind so will keep that Wallpaper up a couple days longer on my computer and then switch to my favorite Mt Rainier picture, which is usually up on the board by mid February.

 Well KTLK radio was buzzing with excited commentary this morning.  Of course Stephanie Miller is off this week but the substitutes were ajudicating themselves very nicely.  It seems a bunch of friends of Stephanie Miller are off in Arizona and they went to a nightclub to see "a bronzed God".  Gee, and I didn't even know Nicholas was gona Be in Arizona.  No doubt it's either to get in on the lucritive Ice Cream business or else to get one of Stephano Di Mira's customized tatoos.  MITT ROMNEY CAN AND WILL LOSE THE MICHIGAN STATE PRIMARY TODAY despite the fact of  Michigan being one of his several "Home States".  Now the Democrats are being solicited for support and to have the democratic version of "Opporation Chaos" that Rush Limbaugh was talking about today, not entirely un-sympathetically.  Yes, Rush was chiding his Mitt Romney listeners who are probably angry enough to spit nails because he isn't siding with them.  But Rush Limbaugh points out that how can Mitt Romney believe he can defeat President Obama in November when he can't beat Rick Santorum today?  Now the democrats are being appealed to because after all Romney took your jobs, and besides, Romney is really from Massachusetts.  And the robo call goes on to admonish the listener "Not to waste your vote on Ron Paul".  Yes there are so many that claim that Ron Paul has functioned as kind of a stealth "Wing man" for Mitt Romney, attacking anyone in the Debates that attacks Romney.  I haven't picked up on this myself, but there are a lot of people who have noticed it, and now Rick Santorum himself is bringing it up.  For those who are worried that Santorum might be some kind of phoenix rising from the political ash heap like Ronnie Boy, I might just say that Santorum lacks neither the looks nor charisma, nor the political Intelligence, for that matter, to go all the way.  Of course Ronald Reagan did pull a few early boners like, "A tree is a tree- - how many do you have to look at?"  Oddly he also said "Income Taxes should hurt" and was against withholding.  A lot of people on the work payroll just might cotton to that idea.  Nobody seems to be campaigning in Arizona.  Apparently that's Romney country because a lot of Mormons live there so it's uncontested.  Rush Limbaugh tried to make some point about how the Republican establishment now distrusts Romney for the odd reason of "- - - but you were supposed to be the Moderate candidate, but now because of everything you have said, you may have too conservative of a paper trail to win in November".  Leave it to Rush to say things nobody else thought of.  But if Newt wins next week- - then indeed three candidates will have substantial bodies of deligates.  Some may be able to enter state races where the filing deadline hasn't arrived yet, but the math is such that alone wont secure them enough votes, but they could sure as hell muddy the waters for either Ricky or Mitt.  I realize all this is going to sound silly and speculative for those reading this a few months from now because for you it isn't idle speculation- - but whatever actually happened is history and perhaps "Old News" by now.  So - - my apologies in advance.  Just humor us people who are stuck here in the past.

Of course at times some of you are stunned by a deafening 19,000 shrieking electronically generated tape bias noise.  For you I suggest that you remove your cranial unit and adjust your time chronometer and play the transmission back at the proper speed.  One of my favorite come-back zingers to the idea of "don't be bothered by what other people think" is the line about "Lesser people than you don't compare themselves to anybody:,  (do you want to be like them?)  You know who I'm talking about - - your latent Sociopathic personality that hasn't yet "joined the human race" so to speak.  As the President said today in the World Community we truely "are our brother's keeper".  And the idea of comparing God to a skin product alludes to the Dylan song "Long Time Gone" with the lyric of "You can have your beauty it's skin deep and it only lies.  You can have your youth which will rot before your eyes".  You know, if you think about it people use Religion the same way they use make-up.  They apply it to themselves at certain times when they socialize among a certain class of people.  They do it to "modify" who they appear to be, and also to protect them from the ravages of aging and - - - Death.  If people weren't afraid of Death, religion would hold no power over them.  Certain people without a conscience are able to controle other people by manipulating their deepest fears.  And while I'm at it, I suggest everybody listen to "Last thoughts on Woody Guthrie".  It's that long track at the end of Disk One of "The Bootleg Tapes" by Bob Dylan.

One thing we haven't been darkened by in a long time is political Assasenation, particularly during a Presidential Campaign.  Al was one of the people who believed that one of the big motivations for the President's betrayal of the Left and his base is because people have told him if he wants to stay alive he had better do it the way a certain THEM wants it done- - or else suffer the consequences.  There is still too high of a climate of hate in this country and the President has barely begun his Political Campaign.  By all accounts he expects to make a major affair out of it.  That's a lot of security planning.  I would suggest that our Prayers be with the President but being the Determinist I am I realize that what is Destined has in a sense already Happened, so that wishing it away is as vain as wishing away History.  So we just have to Hope.  Yes, Hope is the "last refuge of the Chronologically ignorant".  (Hey that's a good Line)  Astrologically the economy won't always live a charmed life, so as the addage goes, "Make hay while the sun shines".   (Selah)
