KING of the UNITED STATES

I am currently moving around in Asia. (I didn’t want to be in the US when those ” McCain wins riots” they promised us broke out, you know) Let me tell you, it’s nuts how the world is reacting. It’s nuts.

Of course there is plenty of fantasy, prayer, wishful thinking, hope, and blind trust at work in United States. In some sense, there has to be. Furthermore, it is primarily intentional, as a device of campaigning and propaganda. Additionally, there is desperation, fear, anger, and restitution from a lengthy legacy of inequality for the races. So on that level alone, Obama had a significant appeal to so many. So why not, on top of that, add hope or blind trust? Not so bad.

Specifically, the freaked-out and panicked selfish artists for whom it is not enough to be famous, adored, indulgent, sexually pursued, and enjoying a career coveted by millions — they have to get on a soapbox and rant negatively about the horrible possibility that culture and mankind might move toward a new horizon with our language [...]

Sarah Palin just received an excellent award for some irregular political behavior that we the people desperately need. Even if you don’t like her politics, the manner of her behavior in office can end up benefiting every single one of us. Why, even if our impressions of her unselfish and fiscally responsible acts AREN’T TRUE, she still would be receiving an enormous lesson on what she SHOULD consider successful behavior. Indeed, all politicians on the present scene might reassess their strategies; as this woman is proving a pattern too rarely witnessed in modern government.

As the mediums and technology used to enjoy our music, television, and film collections race rapidly forward, we too must move in sync to keep from slipping into the realm of the obsolete.

Wow — I figured it out! It suddenly struck me! Why hadn’t we thought of this before!?!
“What” you ask? Why…THE GREAT COMPROMISE!
My fellow men, what have we been thinking!? We have a strange opportunity at hand which might just slip us out of many of the Nation’s messes; check this out:
Code pink and their ilk [...]

Throughout the entire world Hollywood disseminates and aggressively distributes endless streams of gratuitous sex, gratuitous violence, uber-edgy behavior, drug use, and psychopathic insanity. All in the name of entertainment… but in the PURSUIT of extreme greed for wealth. The irony, arrogance, and hypocrisy are stunning.

Gosh it’s easy to just be a good person and go about your day with a smile, huh? You don’t have to be weary, or on-guard, ’cause between our government and our places of commerce, people sure seem to want to treat each other right. Except of course for that giant segment of our nation [...]

Sorry; I have officially lost patience — with all of it. I’m having my Howard Beal moment. I’m so sick of the crap… “I’m mad as hell…” blah, blah, blah…
I have officially lost the ability to swallow the presidential candidates, the pontificators, the proponents, the parties themselves, the government were electing them to, American idol, [...]

I think we have a monetary “Lord of the Flies” scenario in our present banking institutions.  In a fiscal jungle seemingly absent of authority or law, there are a few banking institutions which appear to seek reasonable and ethical working relationships with their customers. But another more energized group has splintered, painted their faces with [...]

Pieces of our heritage and vocabulary are being pilfered and co-opted beneath our noses.  A recent blog attempt of mine was rejected on a site for my use of the phrase “queer arrangement” (As in “peculiar arrangement”).  So we can’t even use the term queer anymore as an adjective describing something odd or peculiar?
This is [...]

At its core, Tipping is a long-term, evolving trend; which changes over time and location.
In the U.S., the trend has grown into a Frankenstein’s monster. Worse than the discovery that the monster has the brain of a deranged thief, we find the monster has escaped and is violently running amuck through our village. This trend [...]

HOW DID MANKIND SURVIVE??
In the youngest days of man’s rise to dominance on this earth, how did we escape being exterminated — how did we escape becoming snack food of the lions, bears, and sabertooth tigers?
Before our defensive weapons were significant, being found and located by major predators would have been almost inescapably bad. Especially [...]
