RUSH LIMBAUGH NEEDS A

GOVERNATOR ON HIM 

LICENSE # EIB-OU812 

Trivia quiz:  To what prospective President did Richard Nixon address the remark: "Either shit or get off the pot"?

Rush Answers:  Oh that was when Nixon was over at the White House shortly before he died and Bill Clinton was spending a long time in the bathroom and he could smell the marijuana coming through the door.  He wasn't fooling anybody?

You see Rush Limbaugh looking

From his lofty, secluded Perch

"Keep Planet Earth for Humans

This is in reference to a Tom Lerrer song out in 1965 about what will happen "When Alabama has the Bomb"?  Rush Limbaugh routinely does things over the air waves now that would get any other radio call-in show Host fired a half a dozen times over.  There have been so many on the left who have been victims of pressure from the Media establishment and gotten Fired.  You have Tom and Dick Smuthers.  You have Dan Rather and that planted Memo that was a Truth, but the Memo itself was a bogus plant.  You have Bill Moyers, you have Randy Rhodes.  Tom Leykis got fired by KFI in 1992.  But Rush Limbaugh has been beseiging the radio Air Waves for over 23 years now and nobody lifts a finger against him, the same way no Churchman made any disapproving move or statement against Gene Scott despite he was ill serving their Cause.  Like Dr. Scott - - Rush Limbaugh has these outbursts of verbal diaria.  He has no thought governor most normal people have that guards what they choose to say.  They say in James in the Bible that the tongue is like a small rudder that is able to steer a whole ship.  They say "The unbridaled tongue sets loose the Fires of Hell".  Of course we know about Rick Santorum's statement about JFK's address to the Houston Ministrial Association in 1960 "Made him want to throw up".  I could have tuned in Rush Limbaugh's show today and no doubt gotten writers cramp from jotting down so many notes so quickly.  But the truth is I don't need any more material because I have more than an ample supply already.  As to Rick Santorum in the end it turns out that he "Barfed all over his chances for an electoral victory in Michigan last week because of his statements about one of America's most beloved Presidents.  This latest attrocity of Rush Limbauigh was yesterday when he attacked some woman for making an advocacy speech for birth control funding.  He kept going on about "She wants to pay her for having sex" and went on a rambling word salad rant about Pimps, Prostitutes, and Johns, but I'm still not sure which was which in his example.  Only that he suggested he's agree to her terms only if she made a sex tape and that he and all the rest of us could watch.  Rush is known for his sexual crudities.  He told that joke about being trapped with Hillary Clinton in an elevator.  Hillary would say "Rush, make a woman out of me" and start taking off her clothes.  So Rush starts taking off his clothes too as fast as he can.  Then he points to the pile on the floor and says, "Now wash and iron them".  He speaks in inappropiate terms about the First Lady calling her "Michelle, My Bell".  Only her husband gets to call her things like that.  He mocks her attractive figure and the fact she works with kids.  Then there are these vague racial allusions like "Ooommm  - - Oommm - - Oommm!" as some kind of a Racial allusion of some sort.  Of course Rush Limbaugh attacked candidate Cain because he didn't like Rick Perry's "Nigger Head" remark.  If there is a slime ball out there Rush will defend them.  Of course the President has been the target of every racial slur by the right from "Berock the Magic Negro" to "Obama-nation" to "Berockalipse".  Rush went unusually blatent on the racial issue in 2008 when Gen Collin Powell enforced Obama over Mc Cane in the Presidential race that year.  Rush says, "You wonder if it might be about race? - - - Of course.  It's ALL about Race!"  Wow. Rush likes to endulge over gratuatus verbal cruelty to the unfortunate.  For instance Rush passionately defended the football head coach of Penn State- - who was fingered for not conducting those child molestation charges against Coach Sandusky.  Rush repeatedly referred to the Oval Office as "The Oval Orifice" when Clinton was in office, and spoke often of "The Clinton Presidential Library and Message Parlor".  Of course when Andrew Britebart (?) passed away the other day, those on the left spoke kindly tword him.  But when anybody on the Left would ever meet a tragic death Rush would invariably speak of them as "Assuming Room temperature".  Well a lot of troublesome people have assumed room temperature including Lee Atwater, the George Bush's master of Dirty Tricks against Michal Dukakis in 1988.  And of course Gene Scott's passing was one few would note and fewer would lament.  Now we have Britebart.  And we are now wondering "Who's Next"?  Will it take a sudden heart attack to get Rush out from behind that Golden E I B Microphine?  We don't know a lot about Rush.  Just how bad is Rush's diet really?  And what about those four wives?  Do you suppose any of them were forced to have abortions because Rush hates kids?  And you can bet all four of them had to sign "Non disclosure agreements" to keep quiet about their marriages to Rush.  And I bet more than one of them had to sign an anti-nuptural agreement to forfeit any right to community property.  People have said "That when a radio talk show host puts out so much bad karma into the Universe, it can't help but come back on him".  I don't know when that day will be.  It's going on 24 years and that's a near record for either a Television Show or a talk show host reign.

Now this whole thing about employers dictating what kind of health care coverage a worker can obtain, may be getting over the line.  Of course you know some don't allow you to smoke in your own home.  Me and Stewart Sutcliffe have argued over this issue.  He says absolutely employers have this right.  I maintain that they don't.  Now some employers are dictating what "Prescription medication" (to use the Rain Man term) one may receive from their doctor, and which drugs they can't have.  What if you suffer from depression or ADD or are bi-polar and need Lithium regularly?  What do you do if you're diabetic and have a Christian Scientist employer?  Some would say that a single payer government program would solve all this issues, if we all had "Medicare Part E", for Everybody.  Well we aren't "there" yet as a nation ready to accept it- - yet.  I'm not even sure I am from a purist standpoint.  But sometimes God has a way of shaping circumstances so that people are Forced into certain "conclusions" it takes on almost the patience of a mule trainer to bring about.  And the whole matter of campaign funding may be a similar situation.  However here, I think what we need is not prohibition but regulation.  To continue the Thom Hartman football game amalogy a little further,  "I believe the government should appear as the referee but the government should not be the quarterback".

LATE PARAGRAPH ENTRY:  My apologies pertaining to last Monday's test with one Answer that wasn't an answer.  REAL numbers are also Analog numbers.  This is a concept that if people could grasp it, it would solve a lot of problems for them.  Try as we might - - "digital" numbers are NOT by in large, the Real World. And the Real World has been here a lot longer than today's Scientists have.  To say you "digitize" something is to one or another extent make something into what it is inherently NOT.  This is the transcendent problem with most Religion.  In terms of Rush's chronic cruelty to the weak and defenseless, I don't know if I have even seen the Michael J Fox - - show Rush did where I guess he mimicked him.  I'm not sure I even want to. People with this sort of "bent" in life to bully the weak, in the end are found out and people turn away from them.  In other news I have been losing weight the past couple of months, not that I have actually weighed myself.  I think it's all coming off "belly fat" but I don't know what change in diet I've had.  Weather wise the predicted warming trend in the weather is under way.  This will be the last posting in this Blog for now.  I think we will be moving to Rocca-rolla next.

Obviously Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church would not agree on stuff.  I'm waiting for the porno version of "Passion Week" when after that little "Message therapy session" with Mary Magdolane, they go off into the bedroom and make love and he makes jokes about people who believe in physical abstenance.  Jesus said to "Call no man on earth Father" as a slap against the Pope,  Jesus didn't believe in formal litergical prayers.  Jesus believed that you should pray to God in secret.  Jesus didn't believe you should seek or accept public acclamation for making a large donation.  Jesus didn't even seem to even be that big on pledges, regarding Oaths as a snare of the Devil.  Jesus of course did offer free medical prayer.  If you really believe Jesus was God, while in the flesh, Jesus NEVER turned down one prayer petetion no matter what the state of the supplicant.  Jesus (unlike me) did believe that your moral purity should exceed those whom you judge, and condemn to Death.  In my personality I reject the idea of Almighty God even BEING what we call a "Person"  - and don't like that any more than I do for Corporations, but for different reasons.  If God was "A Person" that would make him "One of Us" with his own set of biases and preferences and proclivities.  I do not believe God relates to us in those terms and neither does Stu.  Jesus said "ask, seek, knock".  Ask and it will be answered, and seek and you shall find, and knock and the door will be opened".  While these words "sound nice" they are in fact just WORDS and the human brain has it's OWN ways of translating them.  For instance in computer speek GOTO is a single word with a clear mandate.  Supplicants will hear these words and believe that "The Church" is where to go for these answers.  That's what they will tell you.  But often you don't get the Right answers because you don't ask the Right Questions.  As Jello Biafra says "How can you say he is The Answer- - when you don't even know the Questions". Or as Lennon put it so succinctly long ago, "You better free your mind, instead".

"This Blog Has No Title - Just Words and a Tune"

The stuff below was typed just after breakfast.  I'm going to go through it now I'm going to add it in red ink so you'll know that I added it later.  I guess that would make the material in red "Glen Johns" stuff.  Like Michael Bruce and Alice Cooper were asking themselves in 1973 "Is there anything we haven't done yet that we could do right now?"   The Beatles used to play all their old EMI albums by way of review before they began their next album.  I have been writing blogs as such a break-neck pace lately I need to go back and "see where I've been" to gauge an idea as to what ground I need to cover next.

So in the spirit of the Whitmark Tapes - - we'll say, "Fare they well - " , since we all know sometimes time runs backwards.  In these Magical Mystery Wanderings you and I can travel together even if you're there and I'm here and this is only a print medium.  I'll have you know I'm doing this whole Posting without notes.  I don't have the time.  Besides I'm not even sure Klaus Voorman knows how to read music.  Sometimes you used to hear a song and go "Wow - that's right out of the Future" like "Too Much to Dream" by the Electric Prunes that showed up on the radio a day or two after the turn of the year 1967.  We all thought the lyrics were "I had too much to drink last night".  But you go back and hear that track today and it practically sounds like a garage band.  It's kind of ditto for "See Emily Play" which I first heard on AM radio in late September of 1967.  I thought "Wow - that song is too futuristic for me - - I'm just not "There" yet".  But today this some sounds like just another dated sixties song.  There were a few strange events of that fall of 1967 warrenting note.  It was in October that our high school gymnasium was hit with a tear gas bomb during a pep rally.  It was about the only time in my life I had actually smelled and experianced tear gas.  It got on the news and they interviewed Peter Aguio about it.  Yeah you "Chapter 24" Whitmark Tape fans know what I'm talking about (There's another Clue for you all)  By the way the football team of OXFORD Mississippi- - they're called the REBELS, right?  Just checking.  Kathy Imperiali was my girlfriend during this period.  I've tended to generally have good luck with girls named Kathy.   One night in early October I was sky gazing through my telescope and there was this bright "star" in the tradition of Bart Simpson.  And I was tracking it and suddenly the thing just blew up.  I thought "Is that strange or what?"  Before long it didn't take a telescope to see it because there was this incandecent blog in the western skies.  A Vandenburg AFB missile had just blown up and it was on the news.  I had some strange dreams in October of 1967.  I had this one about some carnival with - - - it was actually a movie but I didn't see the actual movie with Bergess Merideth in it till years later.  But I had this dream about carnivals and merry go rounds and ferris wheels and magic acts and secret chambers and occultic spells where people were marianettes and people were pulling their strings.  And he would dangle the strings and if he cut one of the strings something horrible would happen to somebody like they would die or something.  We traveled to Las Vegas in November to test out our new Dodge Station Wagon.  But my "Las Vegas dream" actually preceded this trip by a month or so.  The one where I heard "Magical Mystery Tour" a month before it was out.  And that car engine was a 307 cu in or something.  And John Sherwood drove a car that was a whole lot peppier than our station wagon and I asked him if he had a 387 or something and he said, "No, it's 265".   Of course at the time Al drove a customized 1958 Ford he'd fixed up with tinted glass and everything.  But one rainy night when a group of us came home,  my Dad announced that Sunday night that Al had to sell the car because his first quarter report card grades wern't up to snuff, and I felt like Al had really been screwed over considering all the money he'd spent.  It was Friday the day after Thanksgiving when I recorded "I'm A Walrus" off KHJ, and the D J gave this intro of "If your head is screwed around right, the Beatles will turn it around backwards, and if your head is screwed on backwards the Beatles will screw it around right".  It was Thursday November 30th 1967 when they Premiered the five "new Beatles songs" off of MMT on the radio.  In this days for some reason they tended to premier new Beatles songs in groups of five.  John Sherwood was one of those "good church boys" who "turned Bad" at the beginning of his Senior year in high school.  I rode with Sherwood in the spring of 1969 when I myself did not yet drive - - to a night Psychology class at Cypress taught by Mr. Lee.  It was years and years later, I happened on another lecture of Mr. Lee in a a lecture hall and thought "Wow, this guy is even a better speaker than I remember".  It was definitely one of your knowledgable psychology instructors.  John Sherwood had great tasstes in music.  On his eight track he played "Bayou Country" all the time and he also had the "Flowers" album.  I thought "Wow - - I can't imagine so many good Rolling Stones songs on one album".  I think he also got "Best of Cream" with the coveted studio version of "Spoonfull" on it.  I thought "This is like a Led Zeppelin song before there was Led Zeppelin".  You remember that Seventies Show episode where they brought out a combination phonograph and Eight Track tape player and Eric goes "Wow, that's right out of the Future".  It was the Fifth of November 1969 when I finally recorded most of that KMET bootleg tape of the Get Back sessions.  (That's kind of why I picked that release date - - in that simulated Hey Jude album photo a while back) Of course to be honest- - skipping up to early 1973 or so- - I was at about the same state of Teenage evolution by age 22 that most people were at at age 17 in a lot of days.  I didn't get my licence till a few months into 1973.  Before 1973 I never drank alcohol, at least not much.  Also I got my own checking account in 1973.  Me and my parents had a lot of arguments about money in late 1972 and early 1973 because these notices from OC Hospital could come to our house billing me for all the medical treatement I'd had earlier in the year because of my Suicide Attempt.  Actually- - it's ironic that I was a little "late" in getting travel independance.  Because a big stumbling block between me and Becky Daniels, who lived in Santa Ana, was that it was hard to travel to get to see her and if I just had my own car it would speed up the progress of the relationship immesurably. As it turns out I was "just a little late" because in the mean time she had accepted a marriage proposal from a guy who was then in prison in a relation I had no idea existed, and got married within weeks afterward around April 7th.  I didn't have a mustache for that license photo, but a few months later in early August of 1973 I had grown a mustache for the church family photo.  And just for trivia believe it or not this was NOT our last family photo together.  We actually all five got together for a family church photo in the spring of 1977 one last time.

There's the whole timing of the release of "What's Coming Down" because it was a few weeks after the Saturday night masacre of the firing of all those people in Nixon's cabinet in late October of 1973.  And you "knew a lot of shit was going down".  I imagine the song had already been recorded then.  Another song that was "too loud and rocky" was the final release of "I've Got a Feeling".  I like that guitar riff- - but it's too loud for this song and I prefer the KMET bootleg version (use on Anthology) better, with the abrupt ending.  (That song goes on too long anyhow)  I like Paul's vocal on "The Long Winding Road" better on the Bootleg tape also.  It's more etherial or something.  Of course you know how I believe "All Things Must Past" was butchered on the final Phil Specterized album version and it's not at all the way I think the Beatles should have done it, and DO think it would have been a good song for the Beatles.  I always envisioned it being done along the lines of "Hey Jude" with a more intimate folk feel.  Of course in 1973 there was all this stuff about Henry Kissinger being the Antichrist and all because his last name adds up to 6 6 6.  And I was telling Pete Richards about all of the "Christian" allusions on the Mind Games album and he told me, "I think it's just wishful thinking, Marcus".  Well, maybe.  Stuff like "I put yourself in your place, as you did for me" is right out of Paul's letters about "partaking in the sufferings of Christ".  That fall I had Logic with Mr. Richi.  This is the legondary class where he counted way off on a blue book essay test where I had said "I believe that Marxism IS a religion but that Confucionism is NOT a religion" and I explained why.  And he remarked in red ink, "Your analisis seems Completely arbitrary".  This semester was the only other time I took a night class, other than the spring 1969 one, because I needed someone to take me before.  That was Law Enforcement.  You know something.  It's getting late.  Soon I have to make that journey to "The Wall" where we cross the border into another City, and at that place free market capitalism still Lives, and your Dollar actually buys a dollar's worth of merchantise.  I'm sure Tyrone Power can tell you about that.  He has a supply.  "Come and take my hand - - soon we'll be in another Country".  I can did up an old song lyric for everything.

New Pretties for You

First of all part one of this article can only be found on line, but you are invited to tune in - - "  "Oh, this IS on Line?  Well- - - uh just forget what I said".  Actually part one of this article can be purchased at your local GMCO dept  store if you can find one that's still open for $3.98.   Welcome to another Gospell According to Thomas, but unlike the one in the Bible, this one seems to have material nobody else has.  For instance did you know that the Bush family as in George Herbert Walker and Barbra really wanted Jeb Bush to be President in 2000 because he was "the smart one" whereas George W was just a druggie with no mind left.  But that Karl Rove overrode their decision.  Now we are hearing stories of a Jeb Bush candidicy revival because of the lingering liklihood of a brokered republican convention.  And if this is the case this could be perhaps the ONLY threat to the democrat's electoral happiness in November.  That's because Jeb Bush was a moderate Florida governor, apparently more so than Marco Rubio is now.  And he speaks fluid Spanish and has a Hispanic wife, which could help him immesurably in the fall and steal away all those Latinos who are put off by Romney's immigration policies.  Of course you know that President Bush wanted a "path to citizenship" for illegals when he was in office but the intransigent Republicans just wouldn't go there.

Now the government is telling us that half or our pork meat, or perhaps half of ALL meat is infected with the CC 398 virus.  But there are problems with factory farms.  You know they shoot up the meat with antibiotics and such.  When I had Hepatitis B I wondered aloud whether all those chemicals might actually help me if I ate more meat.   But now as you may or not know hospitals are ravaged by the MERS flesh eating virus, among so many flesh eating viruses now.  Contrary to what Hartman says we had this problem in early 1997 with the legondary Mad Cow disease mainly in England, where they don't have our laws.  And that was the "spongelitus' virus that invades your brain cells and turns the tishue into a useless sponge like quality.  By the way I don't know where I heard the following, and it might have even been in a dream.  But I heard that the biggest reason why the Jews are not allowed to eat Pork, is because human flesh when it's eaten tastes like pork, and they didn't want it to be some kind of a "gateway sin" to canabalism.  Anyhow this MRSA virus is resistant to all antibiotics.  The reason for this is that some human virus was spread to Pigs, and then while in the pig's system this virus as if some "evolution incubator" morphed into the MRSA virus and in the process picked up immunity to all vaccines.  I've heard the same thing happened with chickens in one of the killer flue virus like the Influenza outbreak of 1918.  So the MRSA is now immune to all forms of injection of whatever anti biotic substance known to man.  I would not want to succumb to any flesh eating virus.

There is a murder convict on death row in Alabama waiting to be executed sometime this month.  But you know that commercial about "He says he did it".  Well, someone else confessed to the crime this man was convicted for and sentensed to death, and that other man said "I did it".  But the High Court of Alabama doesn't want to hear it.  Also this guilty man knows that the murderer wore a whig.  And the prisoner has therefore asked that DNA test be run on this whig, which they still have and he says "If there is one shred of my DNA on that whig I'll gladly go to the chair" or whatever.  But the Alabama High Court isn't having any of this because for them an "appeal" is not a matter of making a finding of Truth, but rather "checking off all of the boxes".  And since all of the boxes have been checked off, this innocent man will be put to death sometime this month in Alabama.  Of course corruption abounds in the Court system.  Clarence Thomas' wife was interviewing applicants for the Bush Administration when the election itself was still up in the air.  They used to say to avoid even the appearence of Evil.  But then someone discovered this was a Greek Bible translation error (seriously) and the correct rendering is "avoid every form of Evil".  I don't see how Clarence Thomas can rule on anything with a straight face knowing how politically "up to it up to her neck" his wife is with these lobby groups.  And in another case Dick Chaney went duck hunting with Justice Scelia and two weeks later Justice Scelia ruled in Dick's favor on a pending issue.  We have the finest courts money can buy. And since most State Judges are election, now Millions of dollars are spent by political action comittees to elect the Judges them want.  Wow!

MIND WANDERINGS:  I think John Lennon songs that rip off other artists are the ones that sound better.  For instance "Just Gimme Some Truth" is one of my all time favorite John Lennon songs, both lyrically and musically.  Obviously there is a bit of an "Abbey Road" hangover "sound" to it.  But actually it shows strong indications of being a musical rip-off of "Bell Bottom Blues" by Derek and the Dominoes, released just a few months earlier back in May of 1971.  We move on now to Martian Games.  And no, Alex, I didn't know that Romulus and Rebus were sons of Mars.  I never heard that.  Anyhow we have "Tight As", which is a song that rhythmically may have been inspired by a Ray Stevens song like "Ahab the Arab".   Then we come to "I See My Sin", which is a slow blues number.  This might have been inspired by a combination of "I Can't Quit You" or else that Blues number on track four side two of "A Salty Dog".  The author may have been thinking in terms of "two key notes" ruling the song.  In "I Can't Quit You" there is one loud note- - and the next one goes up.  Skipping to "Freeda People", actually this song tracks closely with a Cat Stevens song off of the album "Catch Bull and Four" or something rel fall of 1972 called "Common Cause", which was the second biggest hit off the album.  "Intuition" is kind of a rip off of "As Time Goes By".  "Out of the Blue" is kind of like a morph update of "Maybe I'm Amazed" with a few Sexy Sadie chord progressions thrown in.   Not to go Romulan on you but Richi Valenz had his own way of performing "What's Going Down", after the fact, I assure you.   I don't know if Richi ever put it on tape but I saw him perform it - - and I guess that's Sandy Zimmerman on drums.  My take on Richi's "take"is that it's louder and rockier than this song needs to be.  We come to "Meat City".  Maybe John wanted something real "Wild" here.  I guess, kind of like the photograph for this posting.  The last track on "Other Voices"  (I'm about the only person who has this album) features a rather frenziac and wild "trailer" reminicent of some song off a Santana album or something - - like flashing Neon lights and the whole bit.  Well John already had "New York City" and this song just fits as a suitable successor to that one.

Many think the Israelites were slaves in Egypt.  You can make just as good of a case that in reality the tribes of "Israel" were slaves in the North to a foreign King who worshipped a different God, perhaps from other countries.  The Israelites worshipped the golden calf.  And so they had an Altar at Dan and another Altar at Beth El, the north and south extensions of their land.  The new king was especially ruthless saying "I little finger is thicker than my father's loins" and also "My father chastized you with whips.  I will chastize you with scorpions".  The time frame was rather earlier than people think being perhaps 1600 or 1700 BC.  Now the nation gained independance because Egypt came and kicked the occupying nation's ass and stole all their gold.  There is a Federation myth that Joseph was really a dealer in slaves and his sympathies lay with Egypt and so he recruited people to come and serve as slaves in Egypt where the conditions were far better and the food was better.  But the people of the land arose up and slew him and threw him in a pit, where he died.
