One woman was severed in half recently. She was cut in half by a sign post. This happens every so often I suppose.
Once a couple of years ago, a man on a motorcycle lost his head. His head was destroyed by a tractor trailer wheel. The rest of his body didn't have a scratch on it though.
The word hysteria comes from the root word hyster, which if you haven't picked up on it yet means uterus. That's right. The word hysteria and hysterical was derived from a thought that an emotionally out of control state or mind resulted from having a uterus.
Well, It was four days off again and four days of golf in the good weather. I so like my job. Life is so easy like this. I've been shooting scores in the low 90s consistently. That's several strokes better than last year. Movin' on up. Watch out pros.
Tiger started out today 3 strokes over the number to make it to the weekend, but did he ever come through under pressure once again. He shot 3 under par to make it to the weekend for the 120th time in a row. That is eight years without being cut from a tournament. The next longest current streak is 19. That might give you an idea of what he's done.
Sometimes it amazes me how disconnected the people in power or the people in the media are from reality. The example for today are the exciting (woophee!) 9/11 comittee hearings.
The Dumbya party line is to try and discredit his best critic by saying what he is doing is shameful, scurrilous, partisan, and all sorts of tisk tisk tisk. What a sad and unpresidential, fascist, zealot-fundamentalist way to do things. Call what somebody is doing all sorts of immoral terms, like it were true, despite all the evidence and witnesses they have to prove their point. Even the Republicans on the committee were trying to do Dumbya a favor and play the party line during the hearing.
Alas, Clarke received a STANDING OVATION from the crowd. There is the disconnect. There is where they are so far gone from reality. Who wants to hear a bunch of politicians kissing each other's asses covering things up and not actually speaking bluntly. When someone actually speaks something that actually sounds real, I have to believe it, far more than anything I would ever believe from Dumbya's people. And on top of that there attempts to discredit him are pathetic.
The same thing goes for the media. Instead of mentioning how much people want to hear someone like Clarke, they such have "the reaction from the White House". Give me a break. I know the simple minded things the White House is going to say, and it won't be anything honest. They like to lie about things, and I suspect they will continue to lie about things.
It amazes me that suicide could be illegal. It amazes me that euthanasia could be illegal. It amazes me that there aren't more abortions in the world. It amazes me that the rich people of the world are allowed to have children. It's amazing to me that the poorest people in the world are allowed to have as many children as they want. It amazes me that we create medicine to keep people alive longer than they should be alive. It amazes me that when we fight a war, we don't kill as many people as possible to lower the population. It amazes me that the Palestinians don't just commit mass suicide all at once. The world would be better off. I think there should be a death penalty passed out to any person who takes only half of a prescription for antibiotics, because they contributed to the creation of a super germ. I think we we should become energy sufficient despite Dumbya's best efforts, and then say fuck you to OPEC and let them rot in their poverty and watch them overthrow their own governments and kill each other. I think we should not allow any Arab man into the country. I think we should sue all the foreign media outlets for slander, and pressure their governments to make them use higher journalistic standards. I think we should do that with Fox News Channel. I think that anything that kills lots of people, like millions, or hundreds of millions would be a good thing right now.
Dumbya is getting some of what he deserves right now in the criticism about his handling of terrorism. It sounds like he had an agenda to attack Iraq since the day he was elected and was going to do so regardless of what he happened. So much for good leadership.
It's funny when this administration tries to pass the buck to the Clinton administration for not doing anything about terrorism. That's funny. I guess terrorism didn't become a major priority in the 90s. I guess there weren't major homeland nuclear, chem, and bio plans, teams and preparations made here in the US during the 90s. Aren't they forgetting something?
As far as not retaliating against attacks, well I think they should have started decades ago in Lebanon, during the Regan years, when the precident was set by the Republicans, who by the way negotiated with terrorists for the release of plane hijacked victims, and then did not respond when an embassy was bombed, or when over 200 Marines were killed. That's when the bad precident started with Regan and his Defense Secretary and every one else.
First the founder of Hamas is dead. Thank goodness! More Palestinian terrorists need to die, and less need to be allowed to live. This is a great step in the right direction.
Secondly, the former terrorism czar is revealing the truth about the Dumbya administration and how it dropped the ball on the fight on terrorism. If you didn't see Clarke's interview on 60 minutes, you missed one incredibly damning interview. To sum it up. The administration wanted to start a fight Iraq, took the terrorism adviser off the cabinet and demoted him, refused to meet and discuss policies about how to deal with Al Qaeda until 1 week before 9-11. After 9-11, Bush told his people to find a connection to Iraq from 9-11. When he was told there wasn't, he told them to go find some connection. Sounds about par for the Dumbya course.
Tuesday Clarke the former terrorism czar testifies before the 9-11 comittee.
I have to say that in my family, we like to give my dad a hard time for being sort of a ham. He's an introvert by nature, and literally grew up in a house that his dad built in the woods in the hills of Southern Illinois on the Ohio River. His dad's, my granddad's, first job was running moonshine at the age of 14 during prohibition. My dad coudn't play basketball after school, because they couldn't afford to buy him shoes to play in. He's a bit of a success story though. He went to college, got a Master's, and now is a co owner in the engineering firm he works at.
Well, my dad tells stories when people are around, like the one about his uncle. His uncle used to float down the river like he was dead whenever any strangers were in town, so they would go tell the sheriff. Now in his more respectable life, he goes to awards functions, and society gatherings, where he loves telling his quaint hillbilly stories. On occasion he has written a story or two for a state or regional, or even national publication. He also makes banjos that have made their way all the way around the world.
Recently, he wrote and article for the Department of natural resources magazine, which is actually popular here in Delaware. The article he wrote was about a turtle he caught and made turtle soup out of according to an old recipe. He brought the soup to a special dinner with all these society acquaintances, and the soup was a smash hit.
I know it is hard to believe that actual turtle soup at a classy function would be very popular, but apparently it was, and there were requests to have other such special occasions. The magazine the article was in received more response than any other issue in their 30 year history.
Well, more often than not at work, I see people faking seizures. Over the past two days, I saw two people who actually had real seizures. I actually saw one of the people have a seizure. It's been about 25 fake ones since the last real seizure patient, and what a relief it was to see that not all people lie.
I have good news. I shot an 89 yesterday on my round of golf. However, I followed it up with a 98 today. That's symetrical, don't you think?
Anywho, the 89 was my best round ever, in less than 2 years of playing. I shot the 98 when I was playing with someone else. I play better alone. there's less pressure. No one to make me nervous. It's funny how that works. it's not like I get that nervous, but it's just enough to make a difference like that.
Another anywhoo, You know how growing up teachers would say you would use all that stuff in real life when you were older. Well, I never questioned it, but every else did. I always understood the stuff. Golf is a perfect example.
The golf swing is a sort of a circle with the length of the arms and club as the radius. The point is to create as much speed with the club head through the right area with the correct angles. Now, remember in math and physics, the properties of pendulums and circles and arcs. If a golfer swings the same way with a short club and then with a long club, the difference in physics will create a consistency that the golfer can take advantage of. A ball struck with a short club goes shorter, because the distance travel in the same amount of time of the swing is shorter. Therefore the speed is less. With the longer club swung the same way will travel a longer distance in the same amount of time and therefore have travel at a faster speed.
And that is just one little piece of understanding Physics that helps a golfer.
I just thought I would share a thought. If someone argues that it would be unfair to raise taxes on the richest 1% in America, here is the correct response to that. Over the past 30 years, only one income level has seen an increase in income. It's hard to believe, but only the richest 1% of America have averaged a tripling of yearly income over the past 30 years from 24 to 82 million, roughly. They however only pay about 30% more in taxes. That is also hard to believe, because if it logic applied one could expect, roughly, a 300% increase in taxes on the wealthiest 1%, who make 82 million dollars per year. Follow me here, but that is a tax cut of 270%, while the rest of us?
So, you see, to stay on par with the rest of us, the richest 1% in America could have their taxes raised about 270% and be about even with the rest of us.
Well, I am slowly falling down the list of hot blogs. It must be lack of originality and effort. Or is it the right wing conspiracy?
I have a vast lack of inspiration and energy to do much with myself most of the time. I usually just sit around and watch TV. What a great invention, and all the programs on TV that are so entertaining. I can often find something that I enjoy watching.
I once heard of a list of the greatest inventions. What do you think topped the list? Was it the car, airplane, computer.... How about the electromagnet? That's right. It's the one thing that allows us to use magnetism and electricity to create circuits and memory and is the key invention to oh so many inventions. Let's see. Simple batteries don't need an electromagnet, but an alternator to recharge that battery, like in any car or other form of transportation, would use one. The electromagnet is key to communications devices. Speakers and microphones were based on electromagnets. Are you gettin' the picture? It's one thing that harnesses electicity and magnetism together and makes them functional and practical. It's also what seperates this age from the ancient times. Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and China all had great mechanical creations, but they weren't able to control and harness electricity and magnetism in a vast and practical way.
So that's it. that's my entry for tonight.... call me cliff
I have to say that my prayers and sympathies go to the people of Spain.
I agree, caving in to terrorists was never a good idea. That's why the marines died in Beirut, and the planes were hijacked, and the cruise ships, and the embassy bombings, and the night clubs in Germany and Bali, and the kidnappings of innocent people in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and South America and particularly Columbia. Oh, yeah and let's not forget Hitler and the appeasers of WWII, which is pretty much the same thing but turned out to be so much worse than anything else in the end.
But of course we know now, Bush chose to highlight intelligence reports that he was told were wrong by his head of intelligence, just to make a case for going to war on the basis of WMD stockpiles in the realm of thousands of tons, instead of actual and truthful reasons. Apparently, the Spanish people didn't like being made targets because of Aznar's alignment with Bush against 90% the people's wishes. I think it's fair that they retaliate against Aznar, like we should retalitiate against Dumbya for his lying and bad policies, which have made the majority of the world hate America, which invariably causes problems in the global "free trade" markets that are dependent on favorable climates, like that which Clinton was able to establish with just about everyone.
All that being said, the old policy of speak softly and carry a big stick would seem to be in order, particularly after Dumbya's piss everybody off, get in a fight with who ever, and then argue about it later policy. For a man whose policies depend on business and corporate prosperity, he has let the trade agreements of this country be abused by countries like China, who artificially fix the price of their currency and give unfair tax breaks to companies. What does Dumbya do? He let's 2.6 million jobs sail overseas.
Will Dumbya ever stop lying? I don't think so. But there will probably always be people who are stupid enough to believe his lies.
Recently, Dumbya said Kerry would raise our taxes by 900 billion dollars. It was never said by anyone. Quite the contrary. Kerry wants to increase tax relief for the middle class (that's always the Us in politics), while raising taxes on the upper 1 or 2 % who are Dumbya and himself. Not that is a HUGE lie.
Have you heard the quote about the Foreign leaders that Dumbya is harping on about? The audio tape of the actual conversation was just released on the news. It was a misquote! Kerry said "some" leaders, not foreign. Dumbya loses out again. Poor GDB.
The commercial that makes Kerry sound anti US troops is a huge lie, especially from a deserter. When Kerry voted no on the appropriations, it was over making 10 billion dollars that wasn't originally supposed to be there a loan instead of a grant. Hmm, That's a huge discrepancy from reality in Dumbya's attack ads.
Dumbya once again should go to jail for Fraud. Well, at least he is steadily misleading America with lies.
How about all his cronies out selling lies about the lies they told before the Iraq war. Just remember, the rest of the world fears Dumbya more than anyone else.
The CDC used to do studies of cancer clusters. These were groups of people that got cancer in a partucular area or had a particular association that might have caused the disease. They would study the group in order to figure out what was causing the disease. In this way they figured out that cancer had a multi faceted set of causes.
Well, in my experience, I run into clusters of patients where for a short period of time I'll see people sick with the same thing over and over. Right now, it's people sick with congetive heart failure. That's when the heart can't keep up with it's responsibilities of pumping blood. The result, typically, is water in the lungs where it shouldn't be. You can imagine the problems that will cause.
The oddest cluster I've run into is a cluster of vertigo from middle ear infections. Now that's about weird. You just see a bunch of people sitting still not moving there heads at all costs, because to move there head will make them vomit.
Good evening. Tonight, a man was found in his car. His car, however, was found upside down in the canal leading to the Bay. The man was a river pilot, and he had been missing for about a day. Apparently he just drove straight at the end of one road instead of turning when he should have.
Of course, I missed this call because the other crew was out on another call before I got to the station tonight. So, I didn't see the body. I have it on good information though that the body was hard to get into the body bag, because his arms were stuck out and stiff as if it were still holding on to the steering wheel.
I'm guessing he was unconscious, or very drunk, or dead when all this happened. Because, he drove over a hundred feet of rough ground and a small dock and made no atempt to get out of the car. That doesn't sound like a healthy, living person to me.
It's also similar to the last dead people I saw in an accident that just drove straight off a road instead of turning around the bend of the curve in the road. They ended up upside down and dead against some trees.
LONDON (Reuters) - A scientist dubbed the "Safeway poisoner" and jailed for trying to poison his wife has been employed by a British university to lecture students on ethics, the institution said on Thursday.
Paul Agutter served seven years of a 12-year sentence for attempted murder after he laced his wife's gin and tonic with deadly nightshade in 1994 and then tried to cover his tracks by spiking drinks in a Safeway supermarket.
The University of Manchester said it followed "due process" in hiring Agutter to teach adult education classes, including a one-day course on "Therapeutic Cloning: Ethics and Science."
Medical ethics lecturer Piers Benn told Reuters criminal convictions and teaching ethics were not necessarily mutually exclusive.
"Normally people who get into moral philosophy do so because they care about making the world a better place or putting things right," said Benn, of Imperial College London.
"But I can't see any logical contradiction between being able to think about ethical questions and being able to do rather criminal acts."
Manchester University said it had not decided whether an April course on evolution taught by Agutter would go ahead.
Here's something I didn't know about Freud and Hitler.
"...it may be noted with some irony that both Sigmund Freud and Adolf Hitler lived in Vienna around the same time. It is open to speculation whether or not they had a (sub-conscious) influence on each other. Hitler maintains in Mein Kampf that he never entertained an anti-Semitic thought in his head until he encountered these people, and experienced their behavior patterns, when he moved to the "big city"...." link
So what if Freud was a cocaine addict, and a plagiarizer, and a man with an Oedipus complex. He described the human psyche in a strange way, but with some modern and liberal interpretation, it is still relevant in a lot of ways. Plus he was one of the first big names in the whole field, from which we way so many wonderful and business friendly studies.
As I logged in I just remembered that I wanted to write down an idea earlier and I didn't. Now, I can't remember it. Go figure.
I think it would be cool to have Dean Kaman's job. That's the guy who invented the Segway personal transporter. He also invented a portable kidney dialysis machine and a cardiac stent. I would just have to go around working on creating great inventions every day. How cool would that be?
Thank goodness for television. Or else, where would I learn things or learn about things to go learn about things. If you know what I mean.
Who doesn't love Egyptian and Roman and Greek shows on Discovery and the History channel? They've been sharing the amazing inventions of the ancient Egyptian/Roman from Alexandria, Heron.
This is the man who invented the first mechanical clocks, not just relative time keepers. He invented the first vending machine that dispensed holy water to wash your hands with. He invented temple doors that opened after a fire was lit in honor of the gods. He invented a machine gun for arrows. He programmed mechanical theatrical productions with fantastic arrangements of set changes and other productions all pre determined by his mechanical invention. Perhaps most remarkably unfortunate of all, he nearly invented a steam engine. He only had to combine a couple of his inventions together, and he would have had a steam engine.
Imagine being in ancient Egypt during the Roman Empire, prior to the Chritstians. This is the time of the library of Alexandria. Chances are with my luck I would have been a slave or poor worker of some kind, uneducated, lucky to have any kind of training if any, probably farming fields on the Nile, maybe fishing. In the city would be a clock kept by running water. THere would be water dispensers to drink from that would automatically refill themselves. Entering the temple, there would be a jar to place a coin in that would dispense a predetermined amount of water to wash one's hands. Someone would make an offering and light a fire in front of the doors to a sanctuary. After maybe 20 or 30 minutes of praying, calling for the the god to appear, the doors would just open and reveal the statue of the god. When the ceremony was done, the sacrifice burned out, the doors would then close by themselves.
Imagine if the library of Alexandria hadn't been destroyed, or if the Romans were interested in recreating and continuing the study of Alexandria. Short of the electromagnet, they could have had an Industrial Revolution 2000 years before our times did.
I have been saying that America could become the next third world country. There is an economist, Paul Roberts former treasury secretary, on Lou Dobbs right now (it's a re air of tonight's show) that is saying exactly what I've been saying. He's saying Bush is a liar, that no one is calling for Protectionsim.
He's saying the same thing that I've been saying. Jobs that are lost to outsourcing that people say, "we just need to educate and retrain" (Greenspan, et al corporations and Republicans) are replaced by lower paying, menial jobs.
Bush would have us believe that rather than "Buy American" we should "Export America".
Tonight, tv showed a report on a movie by Angela Shelton. It sounds like a great movie. Angela went around the country searching out other women with the same name and ended up on a search for herself and a confrontation with her abusive father. Her father sexually abused her throughout her childhood. It's amazing what her father said when he was confronted. He said it wasn't molestation because he didn't ejaculate. It's hard to believe that anyone would be so incredibly stupid and evil to think in such a way.
Have you ever seen water come out of someone's lungs that came from their blood stream and then coughed it? Yeah, water isn't supposed to to do that. Gases usually go through lungs, not liquids.
Have you ever seen a person who had water coming out their lungs refuse to wear an oxygen mask? Have you ever seen that person turn blue because they didn't want to wear the oxygen mask?
It doesn't look good.
Porn and Prostitutes will not be paid for by Welfare
[b]Court Says Porn, Prostitutes Not Covered by Welfare Sun Mar 7, 9:01 AM ET [/b]
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German court rejected a legal bid on Friday by an unemployed man who wanted the state to provide him with free pornography and trips to brothels because his wife is in Thailand.
The court in the southern town of Ansbach ruled that social services did not extend to satisfying the 43-year-old's sexual needs after he attempted to sue his local welfare office because it had refused to finance his appetite for prostitutes and porn.
"He wanted them to pay for four trips to the brothel a month, eight porn films a month, plus condoms," said court spokesman Peter Burgdorf. "He also wanted some sort of appliance for self-gratification to use when watching porn."
The man had earlier asked the Foreign Ministry to fly his wife back from her native Thailand, to which she had returned in 2002, saying that he could not afford the ticket.
"He said he needed the services to keep himself fit and healthy because his wife wasn't available," said Burgdorf. "Now he's planning to contest the decision in the court of appeal."
Help I say. Help me out here. Sometimes, I feel like Cliff from Cheers. Sometimes, I feel like Rodney Dangerfield. What a last name by the way. Sometimes, I feel like I should be doing more with my life. Sometimes, I feel like a wast of carbon atoms. Then I think about republicans, and I know I'm not.
I have become such a cynic recently. I guess, since I learned that most people are out for themselves and will take advantage of you if they are in a position to benefit themselves. Otherwise, they don't give a crap.
People usually do things based on selfish motivations, but not always. The first example that comes to mind are those of parents and their children, not necessarily the other way around either.
I have seen people ask how long someone's mother could be kept alive on a ventilator and when she could be taken care of at home because of she needed her social security check. The person was old and was losing large amounts of blood in her brain, so much that it pushed the brain most of the way to one side.
That's my pessimism for you. But that's an extreme example.
How great is it that Martha is going to go to jail, presumably? Any arrogant elitist like that deserves to go to jail for the crap they think they can get away with.
I think people like Dumbya should go to jail for the treasonous things he's done, like lying to the country about why he led us to war in Iraq when he knew the truth was different. I think he should go to jail for trying to get tax cuts passed that would make it possible for rich people like him to pay no taxes while people like me pay taxes. In the process he had the audacity to call it a moral issue. It's more like an immoral issue, he has none. How about his total reversal of the laws that keep our planet clean, and his unwillingness to work with the rest of the world to make it cleaner? How about wilfully creating half trillion dollar debts every year with plans to make them even worse in the future? Ever hear of Argentina?
Ted Kennedy was on C Span the other day speaking to the Council on Foreign Affairs. He was basically just listing with references instance after instance where Dumbya, Rumsfeldia, Dick, and Powell lied about the intelligence on Iraq directly contrary to intelligence reports that they were known to have. Time and time again they were given reports that raised serious doubts to Iraq's capabilities or to what Iraq was doing, or on certain nefarious reports, but the Dumbya led team pressed on unrelenting, telling lie after lie.
What did the president know and when did he know it? Well, we know he was lying.
The Dumbya commercials have struck a cord with some of the victims of the 9/11 tragedies. That isn't surprising. Dumbya is an idiot and most of the world hates him and rates him as the biggest threat to world peace on the planet. Remember all those polls?
Anywhoo. One woman who lost her husband in the tragedies, so poignantly pointed out that Dumbya has refused and stalled and delayed and hindered the process of the 911 commission, despite multiple requests and public pressure over months and months of complaints from all over the place.
So, what gives him the right to use those images if he won't cooperate with the investigating commission? That is an interesting question. What an ass!
I hope no one is actually stupid enough to believe anything that presidente Dumbya has to say about the economy. Well, he is telling the truth when he says he wants tax cuts, but what he doesn't say is that the tax cuts he wants would actually eliminate tax for people like him and his friends.
The dividend tax cut- who really makes enough money from stocks to pay tax on it? ...the ultra rich. The argument that it's already been taxed is also a lie. You can bet that it probably hasn't because of all the illegal tax shelters and other tax loopholes already exploited by the rich and by corporations, and if it has been taxed, it's been taxed at an extremely low rate, far less than you or I (unless you're rich) pay.
If someone says that debts or deficits don't matter, you can rest assured that they are trying to steal your money or they are as stupid as Dumbya. Just take a look at your tax book and the pie chart that splits up the federal budget. 8% went to pay off the interest on the debt last year. That was just the interest. The year before it was 12%. 8% is roughly 200 billion dollars. Imagine if you paid 8% of your budget to maintain a credit card debt, because you will have nothing after you pay it off. Now would that matter to you? I thought so. So, don't listen to Dumbya and his administration.
I just watched a documentary on PBS about woman who is a survivor of a violent torture/kidnapping/rape by by men. What an inspiring woman. She is an incredible woman who stood up to her attackers, and stood up for herself. I wish everybody could have seen her story.
I have been reading a very interesting book called Perfectly Legal by David Cay Johnston, an investigative writer for the New York Times whose beat is Taxes. If you want to read a really scary book, I recommend this one. I have never before been so frightened for the future of America. In JFK's book I read that a Senator once remarked how a senator could be rented for a while, but I never realized how much an impact the ultra rich had on America. I realized there were powerful overt lobbies in Washington, but nothing like the covert insatiable and Satan like characters that are able to manipulate the tax law so that the richest 1% in America pay far less in taxes than I do, which was somewhere around the 20% mark. Yet all this apparently is true. Johnston continuously quotes the IRS and government statistics as well as Congressional record, high ranking tax lawyers, lobbyists, and the rich themselves as well as media and other sources. Now for today's issue, the hero that stopped the disaster from happening, was none other than the number one tax lawyer in the country, who happened to catch the loophole in the law that was brought before Congress. What was proposed was the repeal of the Estate Tax (which was being called the death tax), and a change to the gift tax. The change was called the step up change (or something or other). As long as a person would tax what was given to them as a gift or in the Estate tax, sell it, and turn it into stocks and bonds (thereby putting cash into the economy) would not have to pay any taxes on the Estate or their gift. Well, first of all the Estate and Gift taxes might as well be called billionaire taxes, because you have to be extremely rich to pay those taxes in the first place if you are giving your estate away or dividing it up in a will. So, only the ultra rich are affected to begin with. Secondly as the Tax lawyer pointed out (I can never get his name right so I won't put it here), the ultra rich would NEVER HAVE TO PAY TAXES EVER AGAIN!!!!! That's right under the proposed changes, suggested to be moral, which weren't, as pointed out by THE tax lawyer himself, gifts among the rich and inheritances would enable the ultra rich to NEVER PAY TAXES EVER AGAIN!!!!! Even he thought that was too much, and he blew the whistle. I think that guy, despite all the loopholes he's obviously exploited in the past, made up for a lot by doing that.
Here's another HUGE lie that Dumya told the American people. It's more like a huge scam that he pulled to steal money from us to get tax cuts for the Ultra rich only.
He was selling the idea of repealing the estate tax in order to prevent farmers from losing their farms. That's exactly what he said. Yet when questioned, neither he, his administration, nor the Farm bureau could find a single case of it EVER happening. It has NEVER happened. No farmer in the history of American taxes has ever lost their farm to the estate tax. Farmers in fact don't have to pay the estate tax unless their farm business are worth more than 4.1 million dollars, which most of them aren't. So, most farmers don't have to pay the estate tax.
So, why would the Dumya want to repeal the estate tax? Because the Ultra Rich have to estate taxes. That's why. When Bush 41 croaks, Dumya will get less money because of the estate tax, presuming 41 is still worth millions of dollars.
Ok, so here's the deal. The last post was about a man who cut off another man's reproductive organs cooked them, and then the two of them both ate them. The man without was then placed in the bathtub to bleed to death, but didn't die fast enough. (Like eating your own testicles wouldn't be bad enough) The other man then cut his throat to end his suffering. Now that is a story I wouldn't be able to make up. In fact if someone made it up, I wouldn't believe it.
Which brings me to my point. When I was watching Mulholland Drive by David Lynch, there was a song sung entirely in Spanish. I know a little Spanish, but I swear I knew every word in this song....estoy Esperando...
Like that wasn't weird. I had been studying Arabic for a couple of years, but hadn't spoken it with anyone except my lovely computer. Then one day at work, I had a Spanish speaking patient. So, I started speaking Spanish to her. Just like that, after not having spoken Spanish since high school, I started speaking and understanding my little pidgeon Spanish.
So, I have to say i can relate to the story of the cannibal, although not an a level of eating people, but something just as strange.
March 2004Consider the following story line for the ultimate video nasty. Single man meets radical male masochist on the Internet. On their first date, the masochist offers up his penis as main course in a romantic dinner for two. After some teething problems over the best way to prepare the food, the two men enjoy a meal of garnished genitals. Satiated, and feeling woozy, the masochist is led upstairs to the bathroom, where he is left to bleed to death. Hours later, our host pops in to see how his date is doing, and finishes him off with a knife to the throat. He then butchers the body and barbecues the meat.
I must admit that I haven't been writing many original blogs of late. There are reasons for this. None of them have to do with a woman, or a second job, or a lack of interest. I have actually started up a website to see if I like it, or not. There are a few extra things I can do with that that I can't do here, like unlimited pages and pictures and stuff. There's so much in fact, I haven't had time to explore all of it and keep writing topics.
It's also been great golf weather and I've been out golfing 4 days in a row. It's such a relief to get back to exercising and playing a round. pheww!
So, anyway, I will keep coming around everyone's blogs. You haven't gotten rid of me yet. I'm like a bad toe that hurts when you walk. Sit all you want, but when you walk, HAH! I got ya!
I was just checking out the johnkerry.com site. I have to say that I liked what I was reading. I have never seen any platform so clearly stated by any candidate before. There are more than a few things that I liked.
First of all the EPA will once again be the EPA. Amen to that!! How can destroying the planet be good to anyone? It's just cheaper to a few people, so a few friends of Dumya can make some more money.
CEOs will be held more accountable. Immoral tax shelters will be irradicated, or that will be the mission.
Man, there are some good things there. What I hear from Dumya is more tax cuts, more debt, no good policies. Let's spread hatred and contempt from all around the world.
