Well we do have a thin
veneer of politeness in society. You don’t
even dare give people an opening to vent racist sentaments. Randy Rhodes had a caller who said ‘I’m a
conservative but I don’t hate Obama” yet Randy was able to isolate all the
areas where he had accepted whole these various false tea party
proclamations. That’s what you have to
look out for. They have their secret “inside
information” they believe over actual news.
Gasoline prices are headed down and have been for two weeks. Now according to David Cruise- - the net immigration
from Mexico is almost reduced to zero because almost as many are leaving voluntarily
as coming here due to our bad economy.
Also the Obama administration is deporting record numbers of aliens and
the tea party won’t tell you that, either.
But David Cruise points out without this influx our population will “Age”
like Europe’s has with their tough immigration policies, and as such it will
make Social Security and Medicare even more “top heavy “ than they are
now. The average White is a lot older
than the average minority age, that’s for sure.
This newfound racial stability will give us an opportunity now to
perhaps re-think our immigration policies as far as giving people who are
already here an opportunity to legitimize themselves. If Mitt Romney continued to talk about
building a border fence he can be reminded by Our side of the reality of the
current situation. Crime, of course is
down, but you’d never know that fact, either.
The Republicans say all
the cuts in the Obama budget are cosmetic to non existant but when it’s pointed
out that Obama cut 200 Billion in medi-care, saving that expense because he got
rid of Medicare Advantage, which was stealing funds- - then the Republicans go
“He’s going after your Medicare”. You
can’t win for losing with those people.
Of course Romney’s clear strength in the polls is White men. But I would narrow that to “white men between
30 and their early fifties”. Men who are
thinking about the day they’ll retire have to be worried about things like
health care the republicans want to eliminate, or else age discrimination. Men under thirty and “generation Y” or
whatever and are different in that they take a looser attitude tword things
such as homosexuality and the classic “social issues”. So that’s Romney’s base- - between 30 and
55. For the most part they are people
who have known only “businessmen” who succeeded as Republican Presidential
candidates. And also two constitutional
status university graduates for the Democratic candidates. So the question is “what happened to this
middle year demographic to make it so right leaning?” That’s the mystery of the century. Marco Rubio is on the Vice Presidential
“short list” and yet Marco praises George Bush as a good President. When asked to say how Mitt Romney would
differ from the Bush years, Rubio refused to answer the question. These people will never answer a direct
question. Randy Rhodes put a caller in
his place for not knowing that Aid to Families with Dependant Children both had
a work requirement and a five year limit.
But the myth of the Black “Welfare Queen” lives on. Don’t tell these people that caucasions get
more federal aid than Black people. They
won’t ever believe that. Even the ones
who begin by saying “I don’t Hate Obama” in truth, they do.
They had that Sixty
Minutes thing on Lehman Brothers going bankrupt. The SEC has filed NO charges in the
intervening four years. I hope the tea
party is making note of that, since they think people like Lehman are as
ethically pure as the driven snow.
However the SEC was monoroting closely the financial activities of
Lehman brothers and “had set up shop” right there in the building. Apparently Lehman used the “Repo 105
dodge”. They merely shipped fifty - -
Billion dollars in debt off shore so the fifty billion in dept didn’t show up
on the books. One guy as long as
November 30th 2007 said that Lehman Brothers was in serious
trouble. Maybe the Obama Administration might
want to press the SEC into prosecuting this case now. The thing is, we need to learn all we can
about HOW this happened - - and I mean the whole stock crash - - in order to
diagnosis the problem, which not even the Obama administration cares to delve
and this is cowardess on their part. But
an even more important question than HOW, is WHAT happened. Like when there is some explosion in a plane
40,000 feet in the air- - in order to figure out just how Bad the damage Is,
and what measures need to be taken.
There are people who continue to warn that Wall Street has done almost
nothing to reform its ways, and the same disaster that occurred in 2008 could
occur again in not that distant future. Then
there was a segment on Palistinian Christians, which have shrunk to a two
percent minority in the city of Bethlehem, which they still have control
over. It pretty much kills the arguments
of people like Chuck Smith anyhow that sometime very soon there is going to be
a Christian spiritual resurgence in the Mideast, particularly in
Jerusalem. I think I fell asleep during
the final segments on finding lots of emeralds somewhere- - - and the number of
them affecting the price.
We did indeed have
cheeseburgers for lunch and potato chips with an orange for desert. We had a second half burger. I went in the livingroom and waited for Dr.
Levy with Arleen and Bruce and a couple of others. Whats-her-name left and where were just those
two remaining, and me, and I left to listen to Randy Rhodes when she came
on. I thought I heard Sarah make an
announcement and came back down only to find that Dr. Levy was still not there,
meaning I won’t be getting any cash today.
I got only my third whole cigarette of the day from Nancy Bell. I went down the lobby and sat in that
southeast alcove and looked down the hall.
Then I went out to the door to the “new” smoking area where I got the
cigarette from Nancy. Then it was more
of Randy and then Days of our Lives where now they are saying Lexi will be dead
from her “agreessive, inoperable tomer”, which I don’t believe for a
minute. She’s too established a star to
be dumped. As for EJ and Nicole picking
up stakes and leaving Salam there is a little thing about E J being just
elected as mayor of Salem. And
apparently Sammy gets E J’s kids and as Nicole puts it ‘You’ll have to be
content to raise Raphael’s baby when it’s born”. She knows how to make a deal you can’t refuse
- - - NOT. EJ is not going to leave his
sister when she is “gravely ill” even though she looks in the pink of
health. The make-up artists are going to
be kept busy if they are going to portray her “going down hill fast”. Sammy is still dousing the fires of Austin’s
insecurity with gasoline, and then she’s trying to turn Lucas against his
mother. And while we’re speaking of home
wreckers, Lucas can’t can’t bee too happy about having to give up Autumn, “The
girl of his dreams - - the woman he wanted to spend his life with”. But for Samantha it’s all about her. By the way Ian may be a snake, and I’ve never
liked him, but right now he’s one of the few lucid people.
