Someone exclaimed once that I really do not like Wednesday. I am beginning to think that more and more as the old bones get home on the fabulous day of hump. I am stiff. I am tired. I am mentally vanquished. Someone light the sterno, the buffet must be eaten.

Louise Correo is going to bring a lawsuit of discrimination and racial profiling against the Border Patrol who was running an ILLEGAL immigration sting outside Barstow, CA two weeks ago (http://www.vvdailypress.com/2006/114856795427416.html). The operation was coined “Desert Denial”. Twelve border agents were deployed and the weekend sting yielded 80 ILLEGAL immigrants. A similar operation was executed last year called “Rampart”. That sting yielded 254 pounds of Marijuana and 1500 ILLEGAL immigrants. Correo is screaming as loud as he can while lining up children to speak about the horrible actions taken against them. He takes time out from the child “victim” parade in order to say things such as the stings being like “what Germany did to Gypsies and Jews” He said that no “Gringos” were stopped but all of his “brown brothers” were. He claims it is racial profiling. I find that a quick emotion response/headline grab. How many ILLEGAL Ukrainians or Australians or Swedes are going to be found driving North from Mexico up interstate 15 towards Barstow? Not many I am quite, quite sure! When he was asked about the officers having probable cause he screamed, “HELL NO!” When pressed time and time again about probable cause he refused to answer. So they could be speeding, weaving, have Mexican license plates, or even a tail light out or seat belt violation. Earlier in his press rant he said that the Border Patrol should stay on the border and that it was a waste of resources. 80 ILLEGALS caught. I think my money has finally been well spent.

Today in Irvine, CA (just ten minutes form my house) Senator Banamnesty (McCain) spoke to a luncheon of Latino business owners as a prop up and prepare for his big run in 2008 for President. He exclaimed that the ILLEGAL immigration issue is cause for a “Call to Arms” That decrepit bastard better be talking about the ones attached to his abdomen! He also went on and on about the dictionary and the definition of “amnesty”. This is a clever ploy to make Ed Meese look like a buffoon. It didn’t work on me, you friggin’ jack ass. Mr. Meese referred to “Black’s Law Dictionary” as it is a word in this instance that requires a legal definition and cites the 1986 bill, which is the same as the current Senate vomit, as AMNESTY! Senator McCain - you must be Funkin Wagnall’s!

I bet you think my reaction is insane or that I display a demeanor that is not warranted. This brings me to what I wanted to write about next …

Cameron Brown is getting ready to be tried for the death of his daughter and already the furious wind of assumption is clearing the room right out into the hall of jury tampering (http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/articles/2901241.html). This happens all the time and I am getting sick of it. The last time that it resulted in a man on death row was in the Peterson case. You will all think I am nuts now but I do not think that Scott Peterson did it. I listened to Laura Ingall report from the court house day in and day out. I do not think the case was tried fairly and I think they convicted him because he was a liar and a cheater but with the lack of evidence that does not make him guilty of murder in my mind. They are using this sort of tactic and technique already in the Cameron Brown case. They say that his actions and reactions are not those of the everyman. Hey, I thought we were all different people, with different ways living in a diverse society that embraces our differences? Nope we are in a society of styro foam clones all wanting to be the same fucking person and crucifying anyone for not being like the next cut out down the line. We are a society that feeds on emotion and hysteria and judges people based on the question, “What would I do”. Such a selfish little group of rats in a maze of no reward and sold short accomplishments in order to keep up with the Jones and blend in in our own little camouflaged fraudulent ways are we. We all are not emotional. We all are not looking for attention. We all are not smart or intelligent. Some of us are dumb or stupid or not bright. Some of us are not looking to cry our way into a friggin’ Diane “Stupid Ass” Sawyer interview. Some of us would prefer to be left alone and deal with things in our own way. Ask any juror from the Peterson trial that made it to the end or any of the three that were cut and they will tell you that it was not until Amber Fry that they begin to think Scott guilty. Listen to the interviews with the female jurors and all they can do is focus on the infidelity. The judge even admitted there would be grounds for PLENTY of appeals due to juror misconduct and D.A. funny business. I wonder when this will all stop? I wonder if Cameron Brown will endure the same? Where will Mike Farell be on the execution night of either of these men? I know. At home wishing it was a black man so he could do Larry King interviews with Jesse Jackson. It won’t happen because Peterson and Brown are white.

I tried to find a link to the website that promotes this man’s innocence but all I could find is a website that would like you to help save Joop the 165 year old Orangutan. Go check out this website (http://www.savejoop.com/). Really go check it out and give it a quick read. They say it is horrible that Joop is 165 and his time in captivity has been torturous, as they show him laying down next to a man and smiling. They proclaim that Joop would be dead if left out in the wild and that is why they want to save him. He is too old. He is too old and likes people too much. He should be freed to go be dead and not be near any people. Some people are FUCKING INSANE!!! Nobody here to save a possible wrongly accused man. Plenty to save elderly Orangutan’s being fed and having fun. Some one needs to shoot me. I must be feeling like Joop.

Two other snippets of insanity. I can not help myself as both are just too meaty to over look and not scribe about.

I know that I just insisted you go check out of the links in this essay. I really, REALLY need you to go look at this one. Fabian “I work for Mexico” Nunez is the Assembly Speaker here in California. He is proposing that tax money and the money time that will be spent to argue about it as well as advertise and propagate legislation regarding cable TV. TV’s are like cars. They are not a necessity to live or survive. I did not watch television for a long time and only recently have peeked around it’s troublesome corners and into it’s devious little insipid crannies. The website to read about this costly little effort that is no where near necessary is We Want TV Choice (http://www.wewantchoice.com/ca). You especially do NOT need cable or satellite TV in order to breathe. That is like saying you can’t organize your vehicular (notice I did not say survive) travel with a mere Yugo but insist on the new Fair Mercedes Act. BULLSHIT! I want real representatives. The BIGGEST problem with our society is television. It is a devilish little creature blowing it’s flute as it’s cloven hooves perform precision menticide and turn us into consuming morons talking about characters as if they are our friends. If you want to go down that road, while your children are chaperoned through life by the slime oozed cathode ray tube, than that is your prerogative; I am not here to stop you. Just don’t use my tax dollars to regulate and promote it, okay? Watch Videodrome or listen to Zappa’s “I am the Slime”. I think I am going to go live on Pluto. Or if I am feeling randy, maybe Uranus. Earth is NOT for me.

The other topic would be my favorite liberal ass tissue Time Magazine. It got heated for me this weekend as I debated about whether or not Time was a conservative manifesto or a liberal agenda. I think the latter. I was proven correct yesterday as I received my weekly copy a day late due to the holiday. Political cartoons and quotes extra liberal and the obituaries non partisan. By the way Desmond Dekker died at the age of 64. You might remember him for his 1968 hit "Israelites" - it is one of my favorite non Zappa songs of all time. Then we move onto the Nation section and lo and behold in all of his two page picture spread colored glory we find Al Gore. UUUGGGGGHHHH! In a tux with little men in the background so appreciative at the nano second chance to capture his soul on the ol’ kodachrome. UUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! Joe Klein writes a bit about Democrat Barrack Obama - the only liberal thing within Times pages that I enjoyed (not Klein but rather Obama). No Mister Kennedy that is Barrack Obama not Osama Obama or what ever the hell you said a year ago! Then we move onto an article about how evil the Marines are due to the recent “massacre” that is being coined the new “Mei Lei”. Oh how badly the original freedom fighters against Vietnam wish it was still here so they could feel important. Does anyone remember the fire bombings of Dresden? Come on, even if it is just form reading "Slaughter House Five"? No one? Has anyone read about how gruesome and horrible ANY war was; i.e. WWI, the Civil War, War of 1812, Franco American War? Hello!?!?! OK, then the evil Enron. Of course big business is conservative and Republican and all three of those are corrupt so may they all burn in hell with a man’s fist up their ass. Then, the resurrection of the Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and militia men because of … you guessed it ILLEGAL immigration. This little ditty implies that ANYONE who is for action against ILLEGAL immigration that does not see eye to eye with Bush or McCain is a racist or a xenophobe or a nativist or a Nazi. Come on! What a fucking stupid thing to say. It is just NOT true. It is extreme voting booth stacking in order to make it happen with amnesty, oops, I mean bananas. Then an interview with Evo Morales who I used to like until he started bath housing with Hugo Chavez and preaching communist rhetoric that just does not suit him but South American politics is a hard game to play with out a few techno song filled nights of coca and cuckoo. We move on to the deadliest war in the world which, according to Time, is in the Congo. I thought that the US was the only one to participate in the deadliest anything? Why aren’t we there? Why won’t we help? Because when we do go to help full force we will be crucified by the media and the country hating assholes who do nothing except play arm chair quarterback and criticize the world from atop their beard scratching ivory towers of profundidity. Sick hypocritical bastards! Then we move to how foster teens find homes and a great piece regarding horse racing. Then a four page spread with John Updike. I have cited his book, “Couples” as one of my favorite reads. The big quote at the bottom of his page and a half picture is, “I could see why Muslims would hate the West, and the US in particular.” This lets you believe that Updike hates America too and we should just scream our liberal asses off from the highest peak on Earth and proclaim our hatred towards ourselves and bilaterally embrace the world with all of it’s scars and dysfunction and violence and genocide. MMMMMMM. Time Magazine that bastion of conservative thought and ideas.

Give a man a light a momentarily he has fire. Give a man a pack of matches and he can set his copy of Time on fire, over and over again.

Headache now. Pound, pound, pound. No cake, just ache. Big wheel please stop turning. I need a friggin’ cigarette. Or maybe a little more.

I need to understand why I am living in a world where nothing makes sense and I am always meant to think I am wrong. People actually wonder what planet I am from.

I am going to go find my own planet. I will name it Janet. I will say things like, “Damn it! I’m from the granite planet Janet, so just fan it and tan it and cram it!”

That would make so much more sense than anything here, now or   otherwise …

News looks like fish wrap once again. I suppose I don't understand what constitutes a story. I thought I did.

Today is Memorial Day. We should be remembering those that have fallen in the line of duty, given their lives to represent us proudly and with fierce discipline through out this country's history of involvement in wars, battles, conflicts, skirmishes, and even simple disagreements and arguements resolved swiftly by just the mere mention of these dedicated men: Our Armed Forces.

I know that many of you disagree with the War in Iraq. Out of respect for our soldiers I am not going to argue with anyone about that today. I think we should be there. I will leave it at that.

These words have left my lips before: Any soldier, anytime, anywhere, I will be you a drink and gladly and proudly shake your hand, listen to your stories, and help you if need be and I am able to. That is a PROMISE!

I think the news ought to be focusing a bit more on this holiday and not the rubbish they are focused on today:

Natalie Holoway, Dope filled Scooby Doo back packs, ANYTHING having to do with Brad-Angelina-Jennifer x 3 -Affleck-Damon-Foxx-Wilson, the death of Paul Gleason, or the duck with Alien head x-rays. Can we focus on the day and what it means? When will news have a moment of silence and a cup full of respect to offer?

To blame the President for our country being in war is a disgraceful avenue of vindictive shame to continue walking down on this holiday.

The government is an EVIL three head chimera with it's skull trifecta rearing and flailing out of control. If you want to throw blame around today than scream about Government Intelligence (FBI, CIA, Pentagon, and DOJ), Organized Crime, or Wall Street. They have more to do with what really happens than any of the faces we see on the news. That beast can not be tamed.

Regardless, bitching today should not be tolerated.

Put down the beer. Stop eating the meat. Turn the BBQ off. Turn down the music. Offer your guests a plate of:

Honor.

Respect.

Dignity.

Appreciation.

Awe.

A Moment of Silence ...

So here is a little relief and a poem for all;  I wrote this back before christmas 2005 ...

 

 

when will the children of Earth

stop watching sports

read again

cry and not feel bad because they have

put down a remote and pick up some initiative

speak the truth and not be silenced

know that feelings are not a passport to "whatever"

but ...

a denial of reality is grounds for insanity

your Mother may not always know

and Father does not know best

familiar existance becomes your spouse and child

and obeying someone evil is not a commandment

all the ten of them are right

except:

not coveting thy neighbor's wife

should simply and salvatingly be changed to

not coveting thy neighbor's wife without permission

lollipops suck and so does waiting in line

especially when difference is focused on

as opposed to the fact that you can walk away

"no" is our friend

and I do not mean Nancy Reagan's "no"

strength is found in something other than numbers

and you should make your holidays all the days that aren't

...

I hope the children of Earth learn these things

before they are the dregs of Earth with the power to destroy it

...

Mokie Joe -

I do not know where to begin. I will take the path of least resistance. I am sure that you will think that as a farce after reading what I have to say.

First off, I would like to “clear the air” so to speak.

You do not know me. You do not read my essays. You have no concept of me, beyond my responses to your pieces of significant political interpretation. You do not know what I think, who I am, what I do, or what I believe. You do know, quite intimately, my reactions to your statements and claims as well as your opinions, that I respect. I do respect where you come from and the endless flame of your passion as well as your censoring comrade’s ability to "sharpie black line" what and who disagrees with him. So be it if that is his world of playing “boss”, but I respect you, I honestly do , when the line is ON the line and you allow opposing view points to be heard on your comment thread. I know your “buddy” thinks me a mere “mosquito” but he is sorely mistaken, no pun intended. I know you do not want to hear from me. You wish I would stop coming by except for the counter at the lower right that helps you get from coffee to warm milk. I have done my research, I know who you are, I REALLY know who you "REALLY" are! You rather send sycophants to my essays to post what you refuse to express beyond your forum. Why can't you come and defend yourself and call me names to my face on my thread - why send people for you? No time? I accept that. I am NOT here to convince you, make you look bad, make you feel bad, hurt you, or make you feel any better than you do when the sleep is washed from your eyes.

I do find it quite humorous that we both found disgust this week in Time Magazine and it’s dribbling vernacular of varicose fluidity.

You took the rag as being much more conservative than it’s previous liberal bindings.

I found it disgustingly more liberal than it has ever been.

Although you do not believe me, I have subscribed to that rag since ‘97 and read each issue cover to cover, including the letters to the editor. You are right in one regard, I have not seen a letter from you published within it’s pages.

I was going to call in a refund of my three year pre paid subscription to it’s foul papyrus pages of pontification. But the obituaries and the political cartoons made me quell my fury. I will still get copies. You would know this if you took time out of your falsely proclaimed “journalism” career to take a gander at my essays. But alas, there is no time in your schedule to focus on a differing opinion unless it can revive the career you can’t hold on top, due to “differences” - to put it nicely.

Onto your “facts” - which you cleverly offer no citing of or reference to … regardless of what your cult followers believe …

Like sands through your hourglass (or was it Cheney’s ?) so are the sands of Iraq …

Such a shame you will probably revert to new debates or name calling rather than address what I have to say in response to your raving but it is the chance I take …

First off you start with the ultra-fab Dixie Chicks that you self proclaim that you do not listen to. I would like to tell you that up until this recent Rick Rubin produced wax of musical adoration, their music was written by others. My 15 year old sister, who is a music star, acquired their song writer’s talents for her first album at fourteen. The albums that the Dixie Chicks were promoting during their justified rants against Bush were while promoting rip off music meant for the sole meaning of making money and success and not creative expression or individuality.

Making money is the consistant theme of all your pieces, well, beyond being an anti semite!

I begin to have flaw with what you say starting in paragraph two. Keep in mind I always want you to write and express but I would like you to offer me the comparable respect …

This last issue engulfed liberalism and made it dance upon marble floors of sparkled light. Greek discos my friend, Greek discos.

They asked to be interviewed. It was in the entertainment section of the magazine. I know it got the cover but it was entertainment none the less. A six page layout in the “Music” section is far from politics. How sad you think it to be "news".

The title of the piece being is NOT “Natalie Maines is one of those people born middle finger first”, it is “In the Line Of Fire”. The first sentences are references to her proud defiance and ability to stand strong against what she is opposed to while maintaining a career in the music industry. Did you miss that, or just skim it like you do my comments looking for what you want to hate? As a matter of fact the Dixie Chicks opted to do the interview with Time beyond other talk shows and magazines because they wanted to reinforce their view points and PROMOTE THEIR NEW ALBUM. The story was under ”Music” not “NEWS”!

Ok … You have issues with Joe Klein … well, so do I . You say he has turned sooooooo conservative. Is there PCP in your coffee in the morning? I am sure you will jump on that, but I am going to leave it in. I think his semi-conservative views are disgustingly turned liberal in the last issue or two. I made a piont to crucify him in my last post. By the way: good job misleading your readers by NOT continuing the rest of the headline to Joe’s piece. You must hope all of the ignorant follow you around like the pied piper! I am not a rat and most of us are not. The whole headline expressed how Joe hates the GOP’s standing on ILLEGAL immigration. He also continued the article exclaiming how men like I are no better of than those who forced African Americans to sit in the back of the bus while burning churches. Are you for real saying this is conservative rhetoric? Come on, you know better than that if your “journalism” career is true!

By the way you took all three of those Time covers out of context. Ms. Right was a play on word regarding her political shift and her insistence on being correct. They repeatedly made sure that Ann Coulter was known as an extreme satirist looking to start political conversation and debate. Did you count how may white wine and Nicorette mentions were made in the piece? The Bush cover was done while he was making a positive difference after 9-11. By the way the “Man of the Year” cover, these days, means about as much as the Nobel Prize … NOTHING! As far as Clinton goes … I think him to be a GREAT President who is over amplified for a party lacking a 24 year span bereft of a success after the “triumphs” of Kennedy and Johnson. His picture and headline on the cover was justified considering the hesitation and snide darting regarding the situation, not the situation itself. You took these covers completely out of context without elaboration in order to justify your points falsely. What were you thinking?

If so many people were applauding the Dixie Chicks stance, then why according to your admission and “inside scoop” were DJ’s getting singular calls at 3 a.m. regarding there disgust? Don’t you see some isolation and contradiction within your own words? Am I out of line? Maybe. But I am calling it as I see it.

Radio is a business NOT a charity. They are in it to make money and to do so need advertisers. The advertisers pledge money forward based on a listening audience that is based on listening preference not menticide. Did they teach that at the 7,000 watts of force in West Lafayette that you were at? Radio is not a consumer or civil right. It is a citizen right to have C.B. and Ham Radio - C.B. = Citizen Band; not consumer AM or FM radio which makes money off of product sales. You were not a journalist you were an accessory to radio commercial sales. Get that straight!

You claim the Dixie Chicks statements only pissed off “one person”. That is just simply put, WRONG! Do you talk to anyone in Nashville or have you left Indiana climbing over Simon’s wall to meet the chalk people in NYC to have make believe time? There is far more than “ONE” person pissed of at the Dixie Chicks comments. Maybe you have just been living in Osama Bin Laden’s cave and missed out on the news. If you turn him in now I will forgive you!

Even your OWN statements back this up. You claim that after frantic and frenetic chases after the “real” answers as to why the Dixie Chicks have been banned from your homely little station that the answer was one voice of upset at 3 a.m. Are you really going to base one graveyard shift/tweeker voice as your defense regarding the repulsion of America in order to make you feel better about how you feel?

Come on! You post a lot of pretty pictures and say a lot of fancy stuff. Contrary to your comments, you DO NOT cite any references or sources. I can do that too! But because I am a moderate libertarian calling himself a Republican then it is a scam, a farce, or a cover up , huh? Where are the sheep and kettles and pots? They are all black as I see it from here!

You claim slander and refer only to me in slanderous ways. Should I get bummed out about you making fun of me and not addressing any of my points in order to be the Svengali that you are? Please lets not throw slander around as it is nothing more than strong black coffee when it comes to politics.

As many stones I throw now - you throw harder stones that wind up being made of foam but when they hit me, it is still feelings they hurt, my friend. Learn who I am and maybe I will understand who you are thus allowing me to relate a bit easier with cubes of sugar, like as horse that needs to ride the track.

You mislead your readers and allow them the false faith of profundidty and prosecution. Someone needs to tell them you are telling falsehoods. You are decieveing people with the same flared twist that you shun and scorn.

BEWARE!

I could go on … I know you won’t read … You’ll just get pissed and probably now block me like your pal does.

I am just a friggin’ mosquito!

Just to refresh you in regards to the Time Magazine that you don’t read:

They have published on and on about Katrina, Iraq, Abrahmof, Cheney, Global Warming (I find it funny you found it convenient to punish me for supposedly not having read it - although I had) and so on and so on … They publish expansive sympathy stories regarding these subjects over and over again and dedicate at least 6 pages to each. Review your last twelve months of copies. Wait ... what's that? You don't have them? You only have on line? I have them all in hard copy sitting right next to me. Come over, have coffee, and we can have story time.

In the same issue that you use to cite your disgust at conservatism, they talk about how great pop culture hatred towards politics is , they call “Moonbeam” Brown a perpetrator of a police state, how intense the hurricanes will be due to man’s hand and how we need to protect all, the rebuilding of New Orleans, how Ramadi is the MOST dangerous city in the WHOLE wide world (what about Bogotá, any city in Darfur or Indonesia) … or were you too preoccupied by the alligator story or the “Cool Tools for the Third World” story? Maybe you were only pissed off at AOL?

Maybe you missed the page fourteen advertisement from “MyRichUncle”.com where your college education can be found underneath the moniker of a man wearing a bowler donning the communist “Red Star”?

I know you were really hung up on Franklin Foer’s “viewpoint” on World Cup Soccer on page 43. “Homage To Catalonia”, it is more your speed.

So I don’t read it, huh?

You just don’t read me.

Censor me like the fabulous Whit.

He likes you enough to continue non egregious exchange

I know, now you have an excuse to shun me. To call me a bastard.

If you read what I have to say beyond your comments and made a point not to piss me off with your side step debates that do not address the points that you make and how I rebuke them, then it would be cool.

I like you and feel a connection. I want to talk to you. But your hate and generalizations prevent that from ever happening in your mind

Be kind.

Hurt me.

R.E. Knowlton III

Where is my DEET? I am an itchin’ fool. The bug bite’s bite. The Poodle chews it. I am spinning faster than the world. Time for me is now a thing not to hear. My watch has left the building to find Elvez, the Mexican Elvis.

I am wondering how things would have gone if I had stayed at University. If I had actually expanded my mind with class as opposed to how I actually went about it. I wonder what would have happened if, when I was young, I did believe in regret. If fly swatters were big enough to kill people and you could swat them through a computer stream would I now be a thing of the past like my University classes or my lack of regret?

Was I really a test of Gottlieb’s in the fading days of MKULTRA (http://mdma.net/mk-ultra/sidney-gottlieb.html)? Was I just another victim of menticide like most media gluttons today are? Are you watching too much TV, too much news, too many advertisements? I stopped watching television for about six years. It was great. I listened to ancient baroque and paid no mind to the world out there, up there. I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t care. I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night wanting to buy soap or coffee. Come to think of it, I didn’t sleep much and I had a bottomless wishing well of energy to fulfill all the desires of each dropped cent or scent as it were from time to time.

Am I now just a mosquito? Am I a blood sucking pest to be beat off before I itch. MMMMMM. One wonders about seven year flicks. Should some one who disagrees with me contact the American Mosquito Control Association (http://www.mosquito.org/) or would they be better suited to just push the button and have me sent off to the National Coalition Against Censorship (http://www.ncac.org/)?

It reminds me of an Absolutely Fabulous (http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/abfab/) moment or two: “Cry cry, cry cry sweetie darling , cry, cry for Mummy, cry, cry”

BOO HOO! Tito, get me a tissue.

I am reminded of the lyrics to a Zappa song called “Your Mouth”:

...

"Your mouth is your religion.
You put your faith in a hole like that?
You put your trust and your belief
Above your jaw, and no relief
Have I found.

I heard your story when you come home
You said you went to see your sister last night.
Well, you might loose a bunch of teeth
And find a funeral wreath
While you'll be laying in the ground
All alone

So tell me where are you coming from
With all them lines
As you stumble in at the breakin' of the day.
Where are you coming from, my shot-gun say
Because he just might want to blow you away
'cause he just might want to blow you away

An evil woman, can make ya cry
If you believe her every time she lies
Well you can be a big fool
If she makes you loose your cool, and so
I've got me some advice you should try

Just let her talk a little
Just let her talk a little more
Just... let her talk a little more
And when she runs out of words
Just say the same thing that I told you before...

Tell me where are you coming from
With all them lines
As you stumble in at the breakin' of the day.
Where are you coming from, my shot-gun say
Because he just might want to blow you away
'cause he just might want to blow you away"

What is your religion? Is it your mouth a goin’ through the motions? I really wonder what the motives are behind some peoples actions and words. Maybe … Menticide, again? Where are you comin’ from my shot gun say! Somewhere where lip reading is antiquicated.

With autonomy comes a certain level of peacock strut that can not be had when someone knows who you really are. I am known. I have a picture. I list my location. I have my private email listed. The white pages caress my ten digit identifier held snug between the evil forefinger and thumb of the NSA. OOOOOHHHHHH … WHEWWWWWWW … WOOOOOOOOW! Once again, Great Googlie-Mooglie!

Are you familiar with Richard Price? Some automatically leap to one that would justify my conservative nature. He was a man of religion in the late 18^th century (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/PRprice.htm). This is not the man of whom I speak. I am writing about the Richard Price who helped come up with Esalen’s Law which applies very much so to what I am trying to convey with these words that I thump out of the ol’ keyboard (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/06/16/MN193091.DTL). It goes a little something like this: 1) You always teach others what you need to learn most yourself; and 2) You are your own worst student. Are any of us high and mighty enough to declare ourselves exceptions to this rule? I’ll bite the bait … I am! Neener, neener, neener! Get the swatter out. My needle nose is blood hungry.

To convey this all from mouth, to teachings, to face and autonomy I will lend a very delicate quote to you by Yamada Mumon Roshi (http://onedropzendo.org/mumon.htm). He is quoted as saying, “No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; It will not disappear even when the Universe is destroyed”

Tie that together with a little Zen saying two step and viola! “Better to see a face than hear a name”

But then again Menticide could be the reason. In the paper “Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing” by Joost A.M. Meerloo, M.D. (http://www.ninehundred.net/control/) we learn all about what is going on here and how it has happened. Even a bit of how to do it yourself. Time to control the world children. Con man or Sirhan Sirhan? I do not need cream and lots of sugar in my RFK coffee, do you?

I guess I passed the test Kesey. I guess I made the grade Leary. Wavy gravy - dance and laugh you fat son of a bitch! There is not a flavor in the mind of Ben or Jerry called “young, broke, and republican” So be it. I am better off and so are all of you. Just ask Al Franken.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, bite, bite, bite and a couple of tra la la’s. That’s how I type my mind right out in the merry ol’ land of Oz.

Swat! Swish! Swat! Swish is more like it. Don’t you swing that thing at me. Put your swatter back in your pants.

The only thing remotely worth mentioning from the current “news” is a fun little poke at Vicente Fox that I heard today on L.A. radio D.J. Bill Handel’s show (http://kfiam640.com/pages/Bill_Handel.html?feed=121334&article=429435). One of his producers replaced the “manamanah” line from the Muppets rendition of the ol’ Herb Alpert tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ePqn5Ci5FY&search=muppets) with a clip of El Presidente saying, “Phenomenom” (a mispronunciation of phenomenon from yesterday’s Joint Assembly address in Sacramento).

Do do do do do do do do do do!

Muppets, muppets everywhere and not a drop to drink.

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I hope your slathered in DEET. I bite …
