Attorney General Eric
Holder is asking for the death penalty in the Boston Marathon case for the
surviving Zarniaf brother. It’s what he
wants, of course, but I guess, with all respect to the Rolling Stones “Sometimes,
you DO get what you want”. Still this
request puts the lie to the notion that President Obama is somehow a closet
Moslem sympathizer. Again just today on
that new 1150 station here in LA, KEIB, they stated that because the President’s
half brother chose to wear a particular shirt when the president visited Kenya
many years ago. Then this proved that the President also “wants to drive Israel
into the sea”. I have heard it repeated
countless times, over and over that “Obama is the most hostile President of the
United States that Israel has ever faced.
I hardly think a one of these tea baggers would be happy living in
Israel though. They’d find their
government nightmarishly liberal.
Besides, every citizen has compulsory military service there. There was this Jerk-off on one of these TV
drama shows- - I guess it was “Burn Notice” where the father kind of kidnapped
his sun into this military outpost, set up along the lines of the “Apocralipse
Now” movie. The trouble is of course is
that he was referring to the Star of the show as “not patriotic” when the Star
of the show was in the military, but this joker who ran this military compound
with all his guns and fences and listening equipment, hadn’t spent a day in the
military. Hypocracy is always hot and
heavy on the right. But the funny thing
is this little diatribe was only launched into by – Glen Beck - - because of
something in Rand Paul’s father’s background that could prove politically embarrassing
- - and so Glen Beck fell back on that time tested adage of “The best defense
is a good offense”.
I knew the Queen was
many things but I never thought she was cheap, but apparently she is. Buckingham Palace is running out of money and
the government is telling them they have to cut expenses. They plan to offer more tours of Buckingham
Palace and Windsor Castle or whatever to raise needed funds. But there was a job for the Queen’s personal
buttler, or whatever the female term counterpart of a Buttler is. This personal aid is in charge of guarding
and organizing the royal jewelry, and drawing the Queen’s bath, and even assist
her in dressing and grooming. It sounds
like a highly elite position, but at $25,000 per year in the monetary equivalent-
- this Buttler or Aid won’t be earning that much more per year than some
teenage burger flipper here in California once the rates go up, earning a
little pocket money.
This medical story is
totally bogus. It seems that some HDL or
high density lipid can “go Rogue” just like Sarah Palin. There is this old man they say has “severe
artery blockage” but one thing is for sure.
It wasn’t caused by his diet. His
LDL cholesterol is under a hundred and his HDL is a mere 57 or something. The total figure is well under two hundred -
- and in the old days this man would have been considered the picture of
health. But not to worry, now they have
an expensive new blood test you can take to see if YOU are one of those in
danger of harboring one of these Rogue HDL Cholesterol attacks.
People probably think
our California snow readings in the Sierra are bogus. It seems they got their first major snows up
there in a long time. From what I’ve
heard, we’ve had more skiing here in southern California then they have
had. School kids got a snow day - -
probably more because they figure “You better go now; it’ll be gone by the
weekend”. What they really need is
another good two or three feet more.
Then they can half way relax.
They say that the Sierra snow pack is only ten percent of normal. The last big crisis they had like this was
the winter of 1977 and at that time none other than Jerry Brown was also
governor then.
Amanda Knox was found
guilty of murder back in Italy.
Fortunately Amanda got out of the country. She was tried and acquitted for this murder
once, because the evidence just wasn’t there.
But then - - unlike in this country where “no fact found by a jury may
be questioned” in that country you can appeal acquittals. The appellate courts found some glitch in the
case and so tried her again, and you kind of new that they weren’t going to
waste another whole expensive trial unless they made damn sure she got
convicted this time. And she was.
We had beef Stroganoff
for dinner tonight and it was pretty good.
We had corn with it. We had
tapioca pudding for desert. Dora trekked
a highly erratic pattern around the room and she got to our table last but
there was still plenty of food in the tray, and I had pretty decent
seconds. Then I smoked my last
cigarette. Right now I have enough
change in my pocket to buy one cigarette.
Tomorrow I get paid and all my money problems will be over- for a
while. This idea of reorganizing Queen
albums hit me at the dinner table, and I know how I’m going to do it. It’s basically a way of just getting rid of
some of the chaff and giving you a better album. Unlike the bit with Who albums a couple
months ago- - this is a vinyl oriented reorganization. I’m not the least worried about the stock
market collapsing, regardless of what either Glen Beck or Thom Hartman
says. The bad weather most certainly
will drag this quarter’s economic numbers down.
My super-bowl prediction still votes the Hannity ticket. I'm sticking with Denver and Payton Manning. The temperature should actually warm to forty degrees.
