TV: 24 Hours after JFK Assassination

I recorded this program based on new documents released in 2009. But it was exploitive.  It showed the Zapruder film over and over again! The only expose was what LBJ was doing while the secret service wasted time.

I could hardly watch it.

 

 

How to Finesse Vegetarian Thanksgiving

There is so much talk about food. All kinds of food except vegetarian on the major blogs and magazine blogs. So, I asked myself what would I do for Thanksgiving? I asked myself that a long time ago. With the new vegetarian/vegan meat products you can create feast better than the regular one.

The basics are some kind of “meat” and stuffing. The stuffing is easy all you have to do is to read the package and stay away from the “instant stuffing” it always has meat drippings in it. Then you can make your own stuffing by drying out bread that you prefer such as a whole wheat type and mix it with a cornbread that you bake. That’s too much trouble.

I buy a dry stuffing mix already made. It’s what I add to that makes it good. The new and expensive thing is to buy a tofurky shaped like a turkey with a dressing already together. It costs about 30 bucks. Well I can make the whole darn feast for less than that.

There are a couple of types of turkeys out there and vegetarian hams. So I buy the slices of different variety of Tofurky slices and also the ham slices. I build my own “turkey” with those slices and my dressing. Brilliant.

I take about 3 packages of turkey and my dressing. What do I put in my dressing? I buy the mix and add onions, celery, melted margarine that is NOT hydrogenated, mushrooms, wild rice, and whatever leftover I might have around like black olives. Cook it on the top of the stove and brown in a skillet what you need to brown. Then mix it together like regular dressing. This is how you finesse vegetarian Thanksgiving people.

Okay, then I put the dressing in the bottom of a glass baking dish and put the “tofurky” in the center, then put more dressing on top of that and more torfurky and some “ham” on top. Bake for like an hour in an oven.

The first time I made this I could not believe how good it was. Then there are the other items: rolls, mac and cheese, yams, fresh cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, asparagus fresh, and for dessert I make a pumpkin cream cheese pie in graham cracker crust topped with whip cream…yum.

That’s all I can think of. The other stuff you can handle on your own. The nice thing is that you can make a lot and save it and make turkey sandwhiches or freeze the leftovers for the next week. Even though I was invited to Thanksgiving in Sante Fe, NM I have to go to Phoenix next week so I decided to stay home this week since I have to head out next week. Therefore I will use the freezing option.

You can also add a salad to dinner however most people are not thinking of fruit or salads too much that day. Then I also workout the day before and the day after!

Movie Review: Precious (by Heloise)

Cornered by poverty, darkness, Harlem, flatiron buildings, and close-set eyes, Precious survives. Lee Daniels directs Gabourey Sidibe, Paula Patton, Mo’Nique, and Mariah Carey, among others, who make up the stellar cast of Precious, based on the book Push by Sapphire. The screenplay closely follows the book, which is set in 1987 Harlem.

After sweeping Sundance, Precious opens in theatres everywhere giving audiences across America today and days to come a peek at a real contender. Daniels does not play loose with the facts and the narrative of the book. Precious narrates her story in her own words. She tries to tell herself and others what happened at the hands of her mother and father. The sexual abuse is downplayed in the film but is evident and obvious. Precious’ transformation from illiterate to GED candidate is not clearly laid out. Her academic struggles are a blur. And the director chooses instead to open a window into the young women who attend the Harlem alternative school under the tutelage of the soulful and beautiful teacher, Miss Blue Rain (Paula Patton). Miss Rain is the first person to show Precious she is lovable and not just a lump of coal in a seat who can’t read, write, speak, or spell English. Precious admits she is not good at anything but cooking and escapism.

Black Precious is the white girl in the mirror, who would rather be normal. This is also the dilemma of director Daniels — how to convey that the heroine is not normal. He uses handheld camera techniques and close-ups on glamour-less faces of familiar stars. They are not their normal glamorous selves and neither is the girl they are trying to help. He nails the classroom scenes where backbiting and bitching lurk. The camaraderie among the students of Miss Blue Rain is special. They laugh at Precious behind her back but befriend her in the end.

Daniels alternates the dark side of life for Precious with scenes of success and a light-skinned boyfriend that invade life’s rough patches. Pig’s feet cooking in a pot close-ups serve as a metaphor involving coercion and force that Precious must cook, serve, and eat without complaint. Daniels keeps it stark. However, the cutaway moments he employs are brilliant and you forget that they are the defense mechanisms Precious relies on to survive. The film runs 110 minutes and is rated a strong R for language and depictions of sexual abuse.

Okay, predictions: Lee Daniels directed Halle Berry in Monster’s Ball and there are some parallels here. Mo’Nique, who plays Mary (the mother), is stunning and powerful. Daniels has directed her and potentially Sidibe right into nominations for their roles. Does the film bear the hallmarks of an Oscar nomination? I would have to say yes, it does.

Stuck On Sarah

Sarah’s back. And she’s back with more political theatre because she never left the political stage. Oprah is only one of many stomps and stops that Sarah Palin will be making on the road to the White House or home to Wasilla, Alaska. Her route will wind through many of the battleground states in the South. Governor Palin is not running for exercise or running for office but busing with books. Does this better answer the question why she quit the governorship of a large state in the first place? Will the voting public buy this new role, the new openness?

Her latest interview with Oprah is a 180-degree turn from the Katie Couric one. Can Sarah salvage her image with a book, a ghostwriter and a softball interview on the biggest stage in television–Oprah? Sarah stands to make millions from walking out on Alaska and holing up in Southern Calfornia and penning this book (with help) at break-neck speed. Her book tour appears to be off to a good start. Who knew?

Oprah’s first task, after hugging Sarah, pointing out that she never “snubbed” Sarah and that Sarah never felt snubbed. Why? Because she did not ask to be on Oprah nor expected to be invited.

Her message on Oprah and in the book is all about the McCain team and handlers–they took over her life. Press releases were not to her liking. For example, she wanted to clarify that it’s not okay for an unmarried teenage girl to have a baby. But the McCain campaign press released that she was happy to become a grandmother.

Oprah asked about Todd’s response to Trig. Sarah’s answer was awkward to my ears. No one delivers one-liners like Sarah. When she told Todd that the baby was male and that it had Down’s Syndrome she said he was “over-the-top esctatic about that…” Huh? When I first used that term in an article a long time ago the implication and my understanding was not “happiness” rather synonymous with a situation that was veering out of control in a bad way. Here’s a better use Sarah–the McCain team’s micromanagement style was over the top.

That is what is so endearing about Sarah. And why I am stuck on Sarah. I mean what other national figure would seek out the latest buzz words and then use them incorrectly? However, to her credit the Oprah interview was not painful to watch. Sarah has the country it factor, with or without designer duds.

What did Sarah have to say about Levy making his “aspiring porn” rounds with the media? While Bristol and Todd have broken up as a couple, which is often typical of out-of-wedlock babies, Bristol is holding her own and going to college. And Levy, well he is still loved and welcome to Thanksgiving dinner with the Palin crew.

What about the book? I did not review it and have not seen an objective review yet. From what I’ve garnered it seems to be full of cliches and whining. Sarah proclaims that running for president in 2012 is “not on my radar screen right now.” And that anyone can make a difference without a title. Sarah ends this much-touted interview with it’s “God and Todd.” Nice sentiment.

Sarah has quickly repackaged herself. And much more likeable — even if she was lying to the queen of TV talk

Demi Moore and “photochop?”

Funny but true pic of Demi Moore who looks emaciated by this pic anyway. But to make matters worse she has not been photoshopped but what I call photochopped. LOL.

Here’s the link from OMG! One hip appears normal but the other hip is well, missing.

Clever Girl

Nicole the shy red head has won ANTM. I kinda saw that these two girls Laura, sweet, and Nicole, clever would run down the runway ensemble.

Laura looks like a young Julie Christie and she was sweet as apple pie. But Nicole, shy, and outcast used to eat lunch in the stalls because she did not want anyone to see her eat alone.

ANTM has lost some luster and Tyra has cut back on her staff it seems. Maybe some of the ad money has dried up. It’s tough all over.

Tyra has survived with 13 cycles and will probably run a little longer. She is attracting good talent but I don’t see the show continuing much past the next two years.

Nicole and Laura did a great job and took beautiful pics.

We Love Some Daniel Day-Lewis

Since the days of Unbearable Lightness of Being and his two Academy Awards and his award-winning looks. Did HE ever appear on the sexiest man alive? Not sure, but he should have.

Oprah had the cast of Nine on her show today. She got them there on the pretense that she likes my favorite Jew Daniel, but really it was so she could swoon over the rest of the crew who happen to be all white women. Shame on you Oprah.

Nine sounds sexy. Maybe too sexy.

Shape of Head and Type of Hair = white or black

Biological anthropologists would look at the shape of the head. The long head, is a mark of blackness. The short head is a mark of caucasians. If you have a combo of short head, and straight hair for example (to name two markers) then you have someone who is phenotypically white, at least.

Enter Mexicans–most have very flat heads, or short heads and flat faces and straight hair, I call it Chinese coarse hair, and are now considered caucausian due to their Spanish ancestory.

Some look like N. Africans, and Indians (from India).

There are two ways to look at it: 1) observers think in terms of race, or 2) no black blood period. If a person looks white, then they are white, if they look black then black. If in America regardless how you look if you have one drop or one black relative then you are black.

Stuck on Sarah

Oh boy, the channels this week will all be stuck on Sarah Palin because she will be buzzing up the airwaves with her book. How much did she steal from Heloise I am seeing more and more of my original stuff coming out of her mouth and in her writings…except for the cliches.

David Corn Of Politics Daily on “This Week”

David Corn is a new face on “This Week” but he has been around the blogosphere for a while. The roundtable included Gwen Ifil and George Will and David Corn. Among other things they discussed Sarah Palin.

Corn said that “she may represent a threat to the Republican Party. If she’s a joke then the Republican Party is up for it…”

He also writes for “Mother Jones” or did write for them. I know that these shows have a preternatural affinity for Jewish writers, commenters and observers but I still ask where are the Brown and Black peoples on these Sunday shows. Gwen Ifil is African!

Not A Book Review: Going Rogue by Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin wearing rouge is going rogue. We get that. She has never had an original thought in her life. She was spoonfed words that Heloise wrote and a whole bunch of other folks.

From the little I’ve heard of her book and what’s in it–nothing but cliches. High on the hog among them. Every other word has been part of a cliche.

Where did she get the ghostwriter I want to know. I could have ordered the book but it did not occur to me. It has already been discounted to nine dollars by amazon.

I’ll wait.

American Nightmare–Mexican Muslims

That’s all I have to say about that. What if?

Coming to America: Spanish as Official Language and Islam Official Religion

I have said “uncle” and now I am studying Spanish because there is nothing damn else I can do. French is my second language but unless I go to meeting and seek folks I am out of luck to find French speakers.

Hell, I can barely find English speakers around town! So, I am doing something I said I would never do–learning Spanish. Since French is my second language learning Spanish is pretty easy. But remember it is standard Spanish. And what do the illegal aliens speak who come to this country? They speak some dialect some broken something but it ain’t standard Spanish. That’s a problem.

Just like black kids in the ghetto don’t master the king’s English so also the varrio boys don’t master their own tongue. They speak broken Spanish.

Then there is Islam. WTF. It’s coming, no it’s here. And it is gonna take us over just like the sword I saw coming out of the sea decades ago before any body every heard of Islam in this country.

Just as the USA has sat on its hands about making English the official language and Christianity the official religion we now find ourselves on the dark side of the moon. Now, we are looking down the dark shaft of Muslims and Mexicans having their say and their way in our country.

Shame on America.

CNN: Lou Dobbs Ousted By Vocal Latinos

Lou said he quit but I think that bastadobbs.com had some say in Dobbs ouster at CNN. His primetime show attracted high ratings and holy rants re his blantant taunts toward the right, left, brown, black and everybody in between.

He claims to be quitting. He’s gone as of tonight folks. I called that getting fired.

Chris Dodd On Morning Joe

We need to watch Dodd and his deeds with our dough. It’s a messy situation that he and other greedy white men helped to create.

Dodd is the one who made me create this headline “You’ve been warned.” Enough said? No, not really. Putting him in charge of any damn thing that smacks of financial, credit cards, health care or money that belongs to the people is a crime by this government. He and his wife have already done enough damage. You know some people kill with guns and bullets and some kill us with their ballots or votes on laws that are eating a hole in the people’s pockets.

But Dodd does not seem to be the dud to the Senate and the watchers that he really is. Why is he allowed to eat away at people’s patience for fuck ups! I don’t get it. This man and his ilk are responsible for the shit we are in. Forget Reagan and his dire economic blow to poor people. Dodd has single handedly handed over the reins of the finanacial market, along with Tim Geithner, and Larry Summers to fucking Wall Streeters.

Wall Street has had it’s day. And it has done in the American people. Because as one guest on RIng of Fire radio said the smartest who graduated from Harvard went to Wall Street and created those damn derivatives that no one but them could understand and sold America, hook, line and sinker (I once wrote as a title) down the proverbial river.

I say again we have been warned. If Dodd and his ilk continue in their position purveying finance then criminals won’t be the only ones who can’t get a job.

But to his credit Joe, who really needs to lose the casual look, seems to be grilling Dodd pretty well. I am still watching Dodd and his deeds with our dough.

I am not defending the GOP because they have also helped to destroy this country with their policies. I guess we have to just take one of them at a time…starting with Dodd and Geithner and Summer. Hell, that’s three at a time. Too bad.

DVD Review–Sophie Scholl: Final Days

DVD

Thanks to Netflix streaming I discovered this little gem. It is out on DVD and a book about this woman’s true story got the attention of the world.

I’ve watched it now about 3 times. It is sad and the music is sad. The young woman does not believe that God will abadon her. Her parents don’t hold out much hope but the unthinkable happens. She is executed for the inexplicable by the criminal indefensible Nazis.

I loved this movie. It is well done. Made be wonder when she returned to her next birth.

If you get a chance see it.

Heloise talks to Goldwag (my comment)

Good article Goldwag. If you visited my site you know that I am obsessed with Jews–just kidding. But seriously, I do study their culture intensely. I read your review but I did not want to leave and log on at Boing, so I thought I would leave a comment here.

After reading your article and looking a bit into Dan Brown’s past life, which strikes a strong cord with Dante, I now have one rare regret–that I did not query the many masons I have known in this life.

I was a Satsangi for nearly 30 years and found that my guru, out of Beas, India attracted Masons like flies. Unbelievable how many I have known. However, I never asked them about their science and they never offered any insights either.

We were all happy initiates of Maharaji. We knew that light and sound was the highest rung of the ladder. As such as a group found it unnecessary to talk about “other” belief systems. Based on their need not to share the Mason thing with us…it makes me think that their satisfaction with following an Eastern guru was enough. That leads me to a daring conclusion: they really didn’t know a damn thing!

However, they knew enough to follow the spiritual law of having a guru in the flesh. This is what leeches like Ray are hoping for. Sant Mat teaches that those who mislead people and don the guru turban under false pretense will come back in a very low form of animal life. Too late! LOL

But one thing I have no respect for that Ray guy. Why? He is the biggest charleton that Oprah has ever endorsed…bar none. The Secret the worse piece of crap I’ve ever seen or read (I did not purchase any of it) but did check it out.

Much like the Secret, and the group (not sure what it’s called) some people joined after reading that dreadfully ripoff– it’s a social organ and you pay to play.

The “esoteric” works of Dan Brown have left him rich. He has inflated his own bank account by virtue of his books. But I chalk it all up to karma from his life as Dante (as he appears to my investigation). So, let him have his say.

I am going to post my comment and a link to your blog too.

Could Islam be Banned in the USA?

This is the country of freedom. As such these freedoms will be abused we know. We live here. We were born here. But what about those who come here? I think they can’t handle it.

Hasan must have woken up and said hell nobody is watching me I can do and say whatever the fuck I want to. So he gets the guns he bought in free Texas, country of guns, and went out, because no one was watching him, and shot up the place.

Why are there so many mosques in America? We need to ban the radical Muslims in particular and put a cap on the number of mosques here in this country. Ban it you say? I think so.

Commonly confused word test

fun test

Will Hasan’s Killing Spree Kill Immigration Reform?

That’s an interesting thought. I know he is an American citizen born here, I think, of two Jordanian parents. But hell his family is still in Jordan and that makes him a foreigner.

I mean think of all the now-white Mexicans who are born here but every freakin body they are related to, also white, are still living back in Mexico. What does that make them? It makes them foreigners who are nationals.

Do we need a whole bunch of Muslim and Mexican nationals here? The ironic thing is that one group often occupies the upper eschelon of education (engineering, docs, and scientists) and the other have a higher percentage of businesses and being self employed.

Recall the days when the Arabs were overrunning poor black and brown neighborhoods with their horrible grocery stores? They were nasty, dirty and high priced just the gas stations they are running now? I recall it well. They could get loans, they are white, but blacks could not, because they are, well black.

E. J. Dionne a gay man with no teeth?

Just watched EJ Dionne, the journalist, on one of the Sunday talk shows and I swear he has no freakin teeth. That is sort of par for the course for men who are deep into the gay culture. No pun intended but that’s what I heard. Not going into detail but think about it, no teeth, no women.

I googled him and he is useless and stupid like I thought. He adds nothing to the conversation. He is just a piece of wood taking up space that a good black journalist could take up much better. He was sitting on one side of the table and Rachel Mad Cow LOL, according to Rush, was sitting on the other side. Two gays, one Jew, maybe two Jews, adding NOTHING to the conversation. Besides I am sick of seeing both of them.

Where are the black and brown journalists who can hold a seat with more confidence and interest than these two goons?

May the Farce Be With You

On Saturday the Health Care bill with its trillion-dollar pricetag has passed the House. That’s the easy part. The easy laughing, funny, ha-ha almost farcical pass of this bill.

If it couldn’t pass the house then where can this farce get a hearing? It seems less likely to pass the Senate even though we have maybe 60 seats? Not sure. We will see if the gluteus meets the maximus on this bill.

Rihanna’s racial rundown

Rihanna is black that’s a fact. But now that I know she is from Barbados (the island) that was once a British protectorate or part of the British crown then that changes things.

Looking at her complexion on her recent interview and her eye color (don’t think they are contacts) she is the same color as my kids who are multiracial but look biracial.

I think that Rihanna’s dad may be black and her mom white if she is biracial. Or both parents have a lot of white genes because the Brits once ran/owned Barbados.

That’s my new category too.

book review: Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

One expectation of literature is that it transport the reader. It must have the ability to relocate the reader from his limited domestic bliss to an inflated universe of ideas filled with people, places and things that he will probably never meet or visit except for the book that he holds in two hands. By this visa Gilbert’s already bestseller, Eat Pray Love, enters the realm of a well-written, transporting, memoir. A memoir that she fills with herself and invites the reader to share in the feast.

It is one book divided into three distinct parts, carefully painted by the title Eat Pray Love. The first two parts are as delicious as their settings–Italy and India. Gilbert is determined to live in Italy because she is obsessed with learning Italian. It is the most beautiful language in the world. And Rome, the city, embodies beauty and most of all ”sex.” I enjoyed the tales of Italy, but was anxious to get to Love, the last section of the book. Who would Elizabeth Gilbert love?  So, I forced myself not to skip meals or day trips on my way there. I also kept in mind a virtual Julia Roberts as Elizabeth Gilbert, whom she will portray in the film based on the book.

I read this book, at first,  in a curious and sanguine sort of way. Then I found myself with emotion and bursting into tears. I am not sure if it was because I realized that I was suddenly within one hour of completing the book and arriving at my destination where I would have to part with author Elizabeth Gilbert. Or because I read a sad truism Gilbert wrote of love–let go of the control in your life in order to allow love’s unbalance to abide there.

That clarity comes near the end of the memoir. However, it does not take away from the fact that Ms. Gilbert begins her journey as a whining white woman whose privileged life is falling apart. That’s a problem.

It is a problem for her and for many readers who find this book to be a selfish exercise in spiritual confusion. But let’s give her a chance to explain herself and her purpose for writing Eat Pray Love. She writes it for one simple reason–to share the journey, day-by-day with the world. Her dreams tell her that she will be successful. She follows her bliss no matter how painful or absurd. She asks the reader to buy that in one short year with a multitude of help and “gurus” she has arrived–spiritually.

But despite her claims of arriving on peaceful, spiritual planes of beings–the reader remains unconvinced. Elizabeth Gilbert begins and ends her journey as a “seeker.” Also known as spiritual kindergarden according to Eastern mysticism. And by definition seekers are in a state of perpetual confusion while seeking their inner path. Even those familiar with New Age writing and Indian gurus would find it difficult to follow the thread of her spiritual awakening. The only recognizable tenet is a meditation practice she describes that sounds a bit like Buddhism and of entering the mysterious “void” in the early stages of meditation. I got it. But her reason for traveling to India I did not get. Gilbert makes a common mistake many Westerners make–they go too soon. They think they are ready and that “the master has appeared” but really it is mere fantasy.

I was advised to wait and I heeded that advice. Therefore, that difference in approach seems the source of conflict and confusion in this memoir. We are never certain where her loyalty lies. And with only her feeble inner voice as guide, she’s off to three countries to ”search for everything” !

Therefore it is not surprising that she changes gurus like a person changing planes because they need to catch a connecting flight. That is the spiritual dilemma I read into this book. Exactly how did she become the (inner) master, at the end of the journey, without first finding the (outer) guru?

The problem with Gilbert is that as hard as she tries to run from men–she continues to attract them and struggle with giving in to them. However, Gilbert temporarily learns one thing–she needs to give her sexuality a rest. In spite of her hard-headed approach she does meet one man in India, Richard from Texas, who becomes her spiritual advisor. Richard, a really cool guy, serves as one of her temporary gurus who calls her by a sticky name: “Groceries,” because she eats every damn thing in sight. She does not know why or how this physical hunger has engulfed her life. But Groceries is an open book to Richard and he reminds her daily that she has to let go of her attachment to a husband who no longer wants her. And above all, she must let go of her whining–that, he tells her, is the real source of her hunger.

At first it seems that the author’s emotional selfishness will overcome the reader. Why is this woman writing about herself and her problems? It reminds one of the public anger felt toward Princess Diana when she first warned the world that she was not happy being a princess nor living with a prince! Give us poor folks a break. Yet, despite the sad eyes, the world came to love Diana and eventually agreed with her sense of angst and pain–since it is part of who she was.

The same might be said of the readers’ evolution along with the author, who grows page after page into a woman who is less selfish and more bearable in the end. She tolerates herself and continues to meditate. The reader also comes to tolerate Gilbert and her many vacillations.

My review of this book was somewhat mixed. I could not accept nor understand her spiritual practice. It made no sense to me. But I could understand her seeking a soul mate. That part of the book resonated with me. This is not a compelling book but it is a good read. And it does have something to teach us. And what exactly do we learn from Eat Pray Love? I think we learn that the idiom  ”follow your bliss” could easily be mistaken for “follow your guru.”

Downtown Orlando — 8 People Shot in high rise

Gateway Center in Orlando, Florida on the fourth floor 8 people have been shot. It is near Disney but not at Disney area.

The gunman on the loose still.

The Army Fucked Up–Why?

This man was a meltdown waiting to happen. His attitude was insubordination. Those who were shot heard him shout “Allah Akbar” which means “God is great.”  There are always warning signs. You know what I have to say about it: it was terrorism and shows it was a political attack.  As I have said before there is no such thing as domestic terrorism just terrorism when some damn body shoots up almost 50 people after wearing Arab guard.

Shooting up people while wearing Arab garb could have been the headline. But he must have changed into fatigues and went out with his gun.

The army fucked up because he should have been courtmarshaled and then given a dishonorable or an honorable discharge. They need warm bodies in the military and that is why they did not throw him under the bus.

Major Hasan–a short biography

According to military records, Hasan was born in Virginia, and a federal official said he was a U.S. citizen of Jordanian descent.

Military records show Hasan receiving his appointment to the Army as a first lieutenant in June 1997 after graduating from Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, with a degree in biochemistry.

Six years later, he graduated from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences’ F. Edward Hebert School Of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland, and was first an intern, then a resident and finally a fellow at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Promoted to captain in 2003, he was promoted to major in May.

In 2009, Hasan he completed a fellowship in disaster and preventive psychiatry and was assigned to Darnall in July.

 

source CNN story

There is video of Hasan dressed in arab garb at a 7 Eleven the morning of the shootings. He listened to and treated other people who had PTSD and who had served tours in Iraq. He heard horrific stories. He was single and perhaps that contributed to his stress. However, there are always warning signs for this type of personality meltdown.

DVD Review: Virtual JFK

“Every time history repeats itself, the price of the lesson goes up.” Anonymous

From the title Virtual JFK I expected a synthetic pseudo-documentary about how the world would be changed if JFK had lived and not expired when his first term did. Instead, filmmaker Koji Masutani asks “what if?” on the issue of Vietnam and JFK’s strong stance against it. It is virtual history on trial.

Koji puts the virtual in JFK by stringing together press conferences, staff meetings, and calls that were germane to two decisions: 1) to stay out of Vietnam, and 2) to avoid the assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem. These two efforts by Kennedy failed. The film, however, reminds us that Jack Kennedy the man and JFK the president changed everything. In 1961, President Kennedy sent 16,000 military advisors and some ships into Vietnam, while President Johnson sent in over 500,000 troops just a few years later.

JFK was a master of the game. During one pivotal meeting with his joint chiefs of staff, he asks them quietly what they want and they all agree — troops. He said he would agree to advisors and some ships and then asks them what else they want. They were speechless. JFK dropped a bomb on his joint chiefs instead of allowing them to drop a bomb or send one fighting man into Vietnam.

The filmmaker took few liberties with Kennedy’s image. He was not inventive or loose with the facts. Masutani used many hours of film footage from Kennedy news conferences, private meetings, taped telephone conversations, and even a letter he wrote to Jackie, his wife, to tell a tale of peace that was never bought. Much of the footage is either new or rare press conference meetings.

Masutani’s purpose, undisguised, in making this film was to clarify what he believed was resounding evidence that Kennedy did not want war with Vietnam contrary to much current revisionist history. And that Kennedy did not want war regardless to the “Red threat.” Furthermore, it was his premise that Kennedy would have changed the world because he had no intentions of initiating or escalating Vietnam. When his many advisors said yes, Kennedy said no.

Midway through VIrtual JFK comes that Fort Worth press conference, his last. The first couple are happy with each other and the day as they dress and appear before a small crowd in Fort Worth. When Jackie enters the room someone comments on her lovely pink and black suit and what fine material it is made of. This second half closes with the assassination in Dallas, and a retrospective look at young Jack in color stills, home movies during college, and early political days.

The second half of the film focuses on LBJ as president, presider and decider on Vietnam. It includes his hawkish approach and the policies that brought the USA into the war. LBJ used JFK’s words to sell the war in a speech to Congress; where he assures the listeners that Kennedy had no intention of blocking Vietnam, that Kennedy believed it to be domino-like. The world was just waiting to fall apart if we withdrew from Southeast Asia. The facts and not Johnson’s pitch, however, speak for themselves — six times Kennedy avoided war when confronted with it, according to this film.

Virtual JFK does not ask the viewer to genuflect before Kennedy nor to mock President Johnson for his policies as commander-in-chief. It does take a bold stand and draws a deep line in the sand between what big military advisors wanted and what Kennedy wanted. I was a bit disappointed that the whole film was not about Kennedy but soon realized that to fully make the film’s point it had to drag in Johnson and his 180-degree involvement with the escalation of the war in Vietnam.

The film continues to recount intermittent speeches by Johnson as troop death tolls mount from a mere 500 to a whopping 16,000. It does not bother with messy and bloody scenes of war. And it includes the same Johnson who later bows out of the 1968 election cycle. One can say with certainty that Jack hated war. One cannot say that with as much certainty that Johnson, whose hands were painted red with the blood of 58,000 US soldiers, also hated war. The narrator states that Johnson and Kennedy both hated Vietnam — it killed them prematurely. But not before it killed 58,000 Americans and two million Vietnamese under Johnson’s presidency.

Soldiers rip clothes to make tourniquets and staunch bleeding!

CNN is reporting that the soldiers did not wait for the ambulances to arrive. They jumped into action ripping up their shirts and anything they could find to bind up wounds. They helped save even more lives because loss of blood can be shocking to some. There is also call out for blood to be used in blood transfusions.

The army however did drop the ball. There were warnings signs: suspicious blog posts, railing against being sent to Iraq. This is insubordination. Why was this guy not courtmarshalled and kicked out? I want to know.

Major Hasan Is NOT Dead!–updated

The army has fucked up royally. This guy had lawyers employed to fight his new deployment to Iraq. He publically said we should not be in Iraq and was a handful. But instead of a courtmarshal this guy gets a handgun and shoots and picks off people he did not like.

Update: Major Hasan is now in critical condition. He has been moved to a hospital in San Antonio for his safety.  A woman soldier is the one who shot and wounded him. He gave away all his belongings the night before the rampage.

Muslim Major Hasan an MD a psychiatrist is NOT dead.

Major Muslim Hasan, army doctor kills 13 folks!

WTF this guy killed a bunch of folks with a handgun before he was killed. Yes he is an arab a muslim and an md and also an MPH! What kind of public health officer was this guy. I don’t know what country he was from but he is an Arab (means white man) and he is also a Muslim.  His brother had to clarify that he had not converted to Christianity.

 

Gunmen kill 11 in Killeen TX at Fort Hood

The gunman is dead and so are eleven others he killed. He shot like 50 people with two handguns and had accomplices too.

He did have an arab name too I think. It sounds like kill em Texas. Oh boy.

Sowell the new black, straight and crazy Gacy

I Woke Up As JFK

Read the chapters that evince and convince me that I was JFK. I had found many lives before and surrounding that pivotal lifetime, but with the help of the Web, dreams, 30 years of intense meditation, dream journals of 30 years, and meditation recall I one day woke up as JFK. That was my life of apotheosis.

I have put the whole book on pdf file here. I will separate chapters out as I get a chance to do so. But for now the entire unfolding and recall has been published.

Virginia GOP Over Dems for Governor and Atty Gen

Its GOP over Dems this election cycle. Sarah Palin may have been a factor. I am a centrist who would lean conservative if I found any conservatives who were appealing. But can it be done?

Virginia may not be a bell weather state but two major races have gone to the GOP the governor and AG.

Republicans Rout Dems in NJ Gov Race

When I first moved to Texas before I was blogging and before Internet got popular I would meet new people and most of them had moved here from there. Where’s there? New Jersey. I said what’s up with everybody moving to Texas from Jersey? They said it was the quality of life. But Hannity said today what I’ve been wondering about that it was the high taxes in the NJ and NY states.

CNN blogs.

Then there is the Wall Street rap: Jon Corzine is also said to be a former Wall Streeter. This is not a good year for former Wall Streeters, mark my words. The people are going to reject the fat cats. Bloomberg might win but he will have spent a couple of hundred million dollars to do so. Can’t buy me love but it can buy me a political seat.

This Chris Christie guy has upset and beat the polls off an incumbent. Corzine seemed a bit smug and comfortable. But a lot of these guys were in place to get Obama elected. That’s done and so are they LOL.

WTF you say.  I think it’s funny and we will probably hear more from Sarah Palin when this is over.

What JFK was doing in the limo with his arms

I have a vested interest in the real facts behind 11-22-63. My revelations coincide with Warren a lone gunman walked with a shotgun and went to the 6th floor to kill.

In the film you see JFK raise both arms about shoulder high. He is not clutching his throat his is a reflex precipitated by the bullet locale. It is a reflex. He knew he was hit but the stiff brace he wore kept him from bending down out of the next shot.

This fate was sealed. He would have moved if he could have. A sitting pres was also a sitting duck for white trash Oswald to pick off.

As for conspiracy that goes back many lifetimes and falls like a row of dominoes in a life. The meaning of 6 as in floor? His death marked the sixth initiation. Some doors open to physical death. But I know that his soul was split and already ten years in another body. He did’nt feel a thing. The buddhists have a name for split soul. I think that is it really.

Nicholas Cage on Foreclosure Row

Nic Cage is a big movie star with deep pockets…right? Not so fast this guy is selling his homes and about to lose other ones around the world. That’s one thing that surprises me. These guys get a few measy million dollars and then buy a boatload of homes and wonder why they are broke. They buy boats and yachts and again wonder where the money went.

He claims his manager stole a bunch of money from him is the reason. I think it was also a bit of overreach on Cage’s part.

Movie Review: Ram Dass–Fierce Grace

Richard Alpert, Ph.D. and Harvard professor was not just another Jewish professor at Harvard with an office next door to Timothy Leary. No, he was Ram Dass author of Be Here Now and many other books until his death.

He suffered a stroke in the later years of his life. He had been a follower of Maharaji and the Krishna sect. He was renamed Baba Ram Dass.

This movie is what a documentary is supposed to be about whether it covers one corner of a person’s life or the whole spectrum. It is about Ram Dass’ move from LSD follower and getting fired from Harvard and starting a commune to a little about him as Dass the guru.

He was born in Newton, Mass and his father was a prominent lawyer who ran the railroads and a whole lot of other things. Ram Dass did not influence me as much as Yogananda and Adi Da. Neither were gurus of mine. I often confuse Adi Da with Ram Dass. One thing they had in common besides being from the eastern US and finding themselves spiritually when they traveled to India.

I found my guru before I went to India and did not have a major shift in consciousness when I did finally go there. That is the main difference between my spiritual journey and theirs.

Adi and his guruship did devolve into much sexual mess not so much Ram Dass. However, when questioned about his sexuality he said he was bi sexual and that sex was just an illusion. Adi Da was not Jewish but Catholic or Christian.

Kenny Ortega on Nightline

Kenny is on Nightline trying to pitch his reason for making This Is It. I am not buying it. It has no soul. The film fake documentary could be sold and seen anywhere. We know MJ can sing and still dance but we can buy the CD for that.

I did not want to use the word boring for it. But that’s it…it was pure-D boredom. Did he sell the interest of the film on Nightline? Hell no.

And you know how the Nightline folks are–they let you sink your own boat with a heavy oar of words or in Kenny’s case lack of words. The interview was short, very short and he did not say a damn thing. That’s what was so funny about it. They gave him a chance and he bombed it.

Should we be mad at Sony for not demanding more? Can MJ’s legacy be saved? I hope so.

“The Secret” is out about James Arthur Ray — Oprah Endorsed

The secret is really out about james arthur ray.

How could I forget this bullshit “The Secret?” In 2007 Ray and a black guru appeared on Oprah. Later that year my cousin had the DVD and told me to watch it when I got a chance. I couldn’t believe it: He stole it and put his name on it. It was all about the laws of attraction.

The laws of attraction AKA law of karma is well laid out in the book of Alice A Bailey. And every charlaton, geek, phony guru in the world has come to feed at the trough that is Theosophy and the occult. Ray was playing with fire and he got burned.

I recalled his interview on Oprah and said then it was a bunch of bunco crap. I couldn’t believe my cousin fell for that crap. I watched some of the video but it was so corny and stupid I could not even watch the whole thing. All I could think of was what a ripoff of all things occult.

Yes, I write Theosophy and occult and have the title “rebirth” in my book. Ray also used the word “rebirth” for the folks who would go into the sweatlodge. He has attracted many jewish people…they have the dough and the wander lust to eat that up.

from Huffpo:

early 2007, Ray took over Oprah’s couch for two highly-rated shows devoted to The Secret, a New Age documentary purporting to unlock the mysteries of life and the universe, and show the way to happiness and success.

I was once asked to reprise my role as leader of Theosophy as I started it as HPB. But I said thanks but no thanks then. I have all but turned my back on so-called spirituality because I live it and it is not a thing apart from my life.

Grey’s Anatomy: Give Peace a Chance

Next year we might be singing what right with Grey’s Anatomy. They are making a strong comeback by featuring one doctor up close and in tight circumstances. Hell, he’s a neurosurgeon so why have they not been rolling with that?

I worked with spine surgeons, same damn thing. They are bad ass and they know it. They are bad ass and they show it. Bad ass is a technical term in case you didn’t know it.

But this episode is good, startling and impactful. The writers and producers of Grey’s should be proud that they have made such a turnaround. A new cast member is a very cute black surgeon.

When I was working with docs most were white because the black docs did not have the patience it took to do the extra time and rotations to become a surgeon. The pay off is tremendous.

Obama and the Midnight Soldiers

He was sobered up by a midnight visit and greeting of the caskets of soldiers who returned in caskets. It was 18 flag-draped ones. He was not the first to do so and he won’t be the last to greet the dead and fallen.

Is it sobering enough so that he will stop muliplying the forces over in Afghanistan? I hope he takes a stand on this. It reminds me too much of Viet Nam and I don’t want to see us over there at all.

A Funny Man and a Serious Woman got married

The almost-funny couple

Fred Armisen and Moss got married today, and this morning Whoppi revealed it on  the View that this TV couple were about to tie the knot. Not in a TV way or a sit-com funny way but in a real way in front of just a few people. And so they did.

Fred looks like the Armenian doctor I almost followed to Boston. He plays Obama and a whole bunch of other men. He makes them human and makes us laugh. Fred is more like Gov. Patternson than Gov. Patterson. What will he do if Patterson loses the election?

I have been watching Mad Men it is really good TV.  I guess Fred will keep Moss in stitches and she will keep him  barefoot and pregnant in their 1960s kitchen.

This Is It–Is Here

I predict that this movie This Is It will be a big hit. Will it eclipse Paranormal Activity? In a sense it is the Hollywood version of same. Why? Because it could not have cost 100 million dollars like the Amelia bomber, and will probably gross far more than it cost. Then there are the DVD sales and rentals that will push this thing over the top.

It’s On in MJ land.

Kenny Ortega had a few things to say to TIME. He was the director of This Is It and told them that he could not get the film ready for MJ’s birthday but for Halloween. It will run for two weeks.

DVD review: The Express

I guess I am the last one to see The Express. I recall it when it was released wide and it got good reviews. I see why. It is the true story of Ernie Davis. He played college football for Syracuse U. And helped put them on the football map. He also dreamed of winning the Heisman Trophy and helping blacks better themselves. He had many fans including the new charismatic president JFK.

The DVD opens with Ernie shaking hands with JFK. And it ends with some of the words he wrote in eulogy of Davis. Sad story. In the film the president said he was in the neighborhood and came by to meet him just after he had won the Heisman trophy.

Interesting that their lives intertwined with Dallas as destiny. When Ernie and team played the Cotton Bowl Jan 1960 just twenty days later JFK sworn in as president.

Davis died of leukemia in May 1963, around JFK’s birthday and barely six months later JFK died in Dallas.

Ernie probably returned in a new body to play football again and bring us tears and cheers.

If you haven’t seen The Express–it is well worth the time. The way a true-life pic should be. It was a little sentimental but well placed.

White Collar ad

Here’s the link for the new show. Interesting? I went on my bike to the grocery store, wanted more apples for an apple crisp, and saw the ad inside a magazine. In print the male model or actor had coal black hair and bluest eyes. It does not look that way in this pic though. His hair looks dark brown and his eyes look blue, I guess.

I mean really how many white men have jet black hair and sky blue eyes? Not many that I’ve seen. If the hair is that dark then the eyes would be brown. Maybe, or maybe it’s blue contacts.

Ironic I wanted to be in advertising but they wouldn’t hire me. Now I see my ideas from decorating to cutesy idioms every-freaking-where. I guess it’s flattery.

Famous Fridays: Soupy Sales dead at 83

An American Jewish comedian has died Friday, October 23rd at the age of 83. Baby boomers like myself recall watching him and his stupid pie antics. What were we thinking? It was slapstick stuff and would not be too funny these days. Nonetheless he was famous and it’s Friday.

DETROIT - Soupy Sales, the rubber-faced comedian whose anything-for-a-chuckle career was built on 20,000 pies to the face and 5,000 live TV appearances across a half-century of laughs, died Thursday. He was 83.

Sales died at Calvary Hospice in the Bronx, New York, said his former manager and longtime friend, Dave Usher. Sales had many health problems and entered the hospice last week, Usher said.

Soupy was a Capricorn like me, almost born the same day. He was born the same day as Elvis Presley though.

DVD Review: Shattered Glass

Shattered Glass is a movie from 2003 and I just watched the DVD about the real Stephen Glass associate editor for the New Republic before he got fired and buried for lying under sleuth.

I got Shattered Glass from Netflix because after seeing An Education I am in love with Peter Sarsgaard. Peter plays Chuck Lane (who died in Iraq in 2003) and who smoked Glass with facts.

They had a Web presence and the downfall of Glass helped to raise the bar for Internet journalism. And funny since much of the lingo and idioms used in this fiilm are everywhere. Glass goes in the infamous column.

His titles were cutesy and most of his stories were lies. If you haven’t seen it yet…give it a looksee. Good acting, good story, and then there’s Peter playing Chuck…can’t resist that.

Kanzius Cancer Killed him and his zap machine did not help

This guy is famous-like but not famous really. 60 minute made him famous by publicizing his crazy gold machine to zap the cancer cells alone. But the guy got so greedy to kill his cancer that he went off the chemo and upped his own doses that ended in fever and death. He used gold nano particles that would attach and find the cancer cells. They then zap it with radio waves and it kills only the cancer.

John Kanzius used himself as a guinea pig and thought and touted that he had found “the cure” for cancer.” Doc told him not to be so zealous about it. He did not listen and went off the chemo and died so I guess the docs were right about something for a change,

Swine flu still killing kids with its pneumonia

Who knew that my pig trough category would be filled with story or two about swine or pig flu? I didn’t when I created it but usually my word comes to pass so I have to guard what I say. But the news about swine flu is bad if you catch pneumonia on top of it. Everyday students are telling us of a kid they know from another school that has died. Doctors are turning kids away without treatment and then they are dying.

It’s not clear what’s happening but everybody is not getting the shots if they need them. I was recently polled over the phone about my health. They asked questions to the effect that the gov thought that a big pandemic was about to break out. A woman asked me what would I do if it got really bad? I said I get a damn mask and not the flu shot.

New Jewish Rep is openly gay and brings “spouse” to DC

Jared Polis is Jewish and the first openly gay to be elected to Congress. His man is also Jewish: Marlon Reis. The two of them have taken DC by storm. Being gay and Jewish is nothing new to DC.

Representative-elect Jared Polis: I feel my Jewish values frequently when I am involved in the community in many ways. The principles of tikkun olam, of living to repair the world, are always forefront in thoughts.

My decision to retire from my business activities and to redirect my energies into serving the community stems from my beliefs. UJC: What are your top legislative priorities for the 111th Congress? Polis: I was elected by the voters of Colorado’s 2nd District to act aggressively on the economic crisis, both by providing direct help to affected people, and by instituting strong protections in the financial system so this kind of meltdown does not happen again. I was also elected to vote on: returning the troops from Iraq in an orderly, strategic fashion; making progress on universal health care coverage; and passing an ambitious plan to address global warming with short timeframes and a commitment to transition to a non-fossil-fuel based economy.

Larry Summers–Made a Deal With The Derivative

There is a link between Harvard’s losses now in the derivatives market and this African American woman, Iris Mack, fired by Summers back in 2002: Iris Mack. I saw this headline on Drudge Report about the gamble that Summers made back in 2004 that has now cost the college over 500 million and counting: Not Smart; Harvard Bet on Interest Rate….

This is scary stuff:

The episode dates back to 2002, when analyst Iris Mack, whose website identifies her as the second African American woman to earn a Harvard PhD. in applied math (and someone who likes primary colors) joined the much-venerated Harvard Management Company, which invests the university’s then $18 billion endowment, to find what she termed a “frightening” state of affairs.

“The group I was working for had no background whatsoever to be working on [derivatives],” Mack says, adding that, to her knowledge, several of her colleagues were not licensed securities traders. “Sometimes the ways they handled even basic Black-Scholes models [widely used to price stock options] were puzzling.”So Mack took inventory of the abuses — high employee turnover, lax risk management practices and a “low level of productivity in the workplace” were among others, and detailed them in an email to Marne Levine, Summers’ chief of staff and a Treasury staffer on the Obama Transition Team. (Summers was the only person to whom Meyers reported source

I had a bad feeling about Summers ending up on Team Obama and was not sure why. I felt he had some skeletons rattling around in his closet. Did Obama know? And people thought that Obama brought Summers on to give him Bernanke’s job, they were wrong. Summers on the way out?

Summers’ job security may not be in question but the loss of millions and counting is not in question. The derivatives purchased were betting that interest rates would rise…they tanked and Harvard is bleeding billions now. I am sure they said good riddance to Summers but now he is a part of the government.

Busted! Sick Family Stage Bizarre Balloon Stunt–updated

The sheriffs are searching the Heene home for evidene. What’s more they are trying to see if something more than a misdemeanor charge can be brought against the family. A body language expert calls out the dads “sigh” and anger that seems to have to NO questions to his kid behind them. 

Dad was stumped when the boy says “we did it for the show” in response to WHY HE did not come OUT of hiding when called repeatedly.

I don’t know about you but a little kid would have to be directed to hide in such a place. That’s where the guilt will fall and the charges be brought up. The planted the boy in the hiding place not in the balloon.

People are NOT BUYING what this family is selling. Falcon has asthma and this does not add up.

I just watched the family on GMA. They said they were taking a break at the time. The boy said he did not know where his parents were at the time. He got in it and right back out?!

I watched the dad and mom and I think that they are liars and have taken us (not me)  for a ride. This is a sick attention seeking family and this cost money to the city and state. One little boy told that he saw the other boy get into the balloon at the last minutes. The balloon was forced into a field. Nothing in the balloon but hot air.

Falcon appeared and had been hiding in a cardboard box in the attic. This sick family knows all about being dysfunctional and they have taken us for a ride IMHO.

They should be charged the bill for an expensive search “we did it for the show” was spoken out of turn by the kid who reported it. It does not make sense because weren’t they all they when it was launched? How come one of the kids reported it. The mother had a guilty look on her face, not a look of relief.

They should be investigated to the hilt. This one went off the register…and over the top…Why?

Dante’s Inferno basis of Italian

I am reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s  Eat, Pray, Love. No one is paying me and I did not get the book free. Julia Roberts will be playing Elizabeth in the movie by the same name.  Since I plan to write a review of the book for blogcritics.org I won’t do that here, besides I have not read the whole book yet.

But I want to say one thing that I like it because it is about language in general and Italian in particular one of the Romance languages. She writes that when the official Italian was to be created the officials were not sure where to turn. They turned the pages of Dante’s Inferno and found what they were looking for. You know the saying you know it when you see it? or hear it? Voila. Yes, Italian is based on Latin, the dead language, because it is no longer spoken, and took the rest of their cues for a spoken and sung language from Dante’s beautiful verses.

I didn’t know that. I do know that Dan Brown was Dante in another life.

Mad Men Cruises through the hot sixties

Wee Small Hours episode gave the audience its first glimpse into what this Mad Men is all about. On the radio Don can’t sleep so he cruises to work in the middle of the night after being awakened by a call from his boss. There are “Negro” people in the storyline because their housekeeper is black. The reason that his drive is informative is that he picks up the cute teacher who happens to be out jogging late and alone. He drives her a short way. Nothing happens but the drive is pregnant with possibilities. As his wife was recently pregnant and is now feeding a baby with a bottle instead of having sex with Don.

It is during the years of MLK and his voice is heard on the radio. And to keep the watchers not so much guessing as to the timeline the wife of Don reads a paper in which Goldwater is written off as having a 1964 bid for the White House. That means it is at least two years or less before JFK’s death in Dallas.

The TV series is moving slowly up that hill like the theatrical climax that we know is coming. This sitcom does not slip nor slide away from what the Mad Men will meet on the top of the mountain. For sure they are following the words of MLK in the background.

In the middle of the episode the closet co-worker of Don who had bathroom sex with somebody at the hotel they went to has now been “man-handled” by another man in the screening room. He said he slipped his hand down his shirt because “he knows” what’s going on with this guy’s sexuality. He must be bi, bye bye.

Michelle Obama is wrong!

Michelle Obama said it was hard to please a kid palate and that one had to do drive through in order to have peace at a meal. WTF!

The palate is trained to like what it is fed. If you TRAIN your kids that YOU DO NOT DO takeout then they won’t demand TAKEOUT! This is the lazy black woman’s way. I taught black kids from the ghetto and guess what they ate at McDonald’s more than five times a week. Who knew? I sure as hell did not. Then I took them to the library so they could see how much fat and calories they were eating. And lo and behold they were eating one day’s fat in ONE MEAL.

I hate when people at the top spew lies and ignorance. A CHILD MUST BE trained to eat WTF you cook or serve. I have relatives whose kids won’t touch oatmeal or would throw up if it were served to them because they had to have McDonalds for freakin breakfast.

GIVE me a break. LIES AND MORE LIES from retarded leaders.

Star-Crossed Punch

Star Jones put a little spike in her speech today on the Insider. She said that Roman has been allowed to “chill” in France because he is rich, white, male and privileged producer. On the other hand that Spike Lee, who is also famous and a producer would not be able to chill in France if he were wanted for rape of a child. But not because he has any such charges against him.

Some see this as playing the race card. I think it was simply over the top and wrong IMO. Wrong in that the same thing would have happened if the man had been also hollywood-like famous, but black.

It seems that Star has never been to France or has never been a man. The same thing would be happening if Spike were in his shoes. Many men went to Canada to avoid the draft, that was illegal. She needed to stay out of. It sounds like bitter grapes to pit Spike against Polanski. I don’t like Polanski but the privilege comes in that he is rich and hollywood-style famous, not because he’s white.

The French have no problem hating on Jews, Ms. Star don’t forget and Roman may be white but he is still a Jew in France.

Justin is nothing but a pimp

i talk about blacks who look white but there is also my category for those who claim to be white but look black. justin timberlake fits that to a T. He and Rhianna are hitting it and it just goes to show that she is a glutton for punishment. He’s a black pimp. That’s okay because she is also black, but he will be a FFF you watch.

Ca C’est Bon–little soaps big smiles in Haiti

Two men one idea:

Ca, c’est bon…wow that is good, one little Haitian boy exclaimed. The good clean smell drew a crowd and the title was the response of a little boy that Clean the World has affected. Two men one clean idea have changed lives in Haiti where a bar of soap to wash with can help extend life expectancy.

Clean water and good sanitation is something that we take for granted here in the land of the free but that is not the case in places like Haiti. The streets are the garbage receptacle for all.

However clean hands go a long way. The people were ecstatic over the soap that was left over from thousands of hotels that are used only once. The soap is picked up from rooms and steam cleaned of impurities, repackaged and given away in Haiti. If you want to see gratitude go there.

Obama Cares: Eighth Wonder of the world

Roger Simon says: “If Obama can’t sell government as a force for good that is who he is, and if he can’t sell that then he can’t sell his presidency.”

 

 If we were to excavate the costs both human and monetary they would probably be indefensible. Some of the wonders are extant but other are only memories conjured up by classic poets. We believe their narratives but can only guess at their final costs to the people.

 

My interest in watching most of these interviews was the language that Obama would choose. What new euphemisms or metaphors he would clothe the health care debate in.

 

 Meet the Press  interview also included a questoin about the ugly mocking of Obamacare from the right. Was it  really racism as Carter posited last week? Obama doesn’t think so.  He stated that for the media race and controversy are “catnip.”   

 

For This Week Obama put three cards on the tables–his principles: 1) affordable health insurance (if you don’t have) 2)  reforms will give you more security  (If you do have insurance) 3) deficit-neutral spending while driving down costs in the long term. The big picture.The pushback from Obama was this–that uncompensated healthcare = high premiums. And when asked over and again on the big question health care reform = tax increase? Obama rejected it.

 

George raises race too: He touts that Obama dismisses the racial connections and asks if Obama gets frustrated about it. Again the President tamps down the noise that the media is making over it.

George closes the interview with the Kennedy-Kruchev meeting debacle. Asking Obama has he met a similar brick wall? Obama answers with “somehow I am not breaking through” in regards to health care reform. This Week’s Roundtable summed it up nicely: why healthcare now? Those who are insured don’t get it.

 

On Face the Nation Obama pressed the padded profits button and overcharges by insurance groups. He argues that they are passing on the costs to consumers anyway overcharging by 14%.

The President used the same line on each show “that the easiest way to get fame or coverage is to be rude to somebody.” Michael Steele supplied the Republican rebuttal for Face the Nation by:  It seems clear to the right that taxes will be greatly increased on the middle class—bottom line. The Right is getting squeamish about massive the tax and spend  looming and inherent (they argue) in health care reform. Is this the sum total of their opposition? I don’t think so.  

 

Children of ACORN

Right talkers had to make do with  from Fox News Sunday to Glenn Beck (Friday) were not graced with an Obama interview.  So Fox covered the latest cauldron that ACORN had fallen into with a discussion of the advice-to-the-pimp video LOL. Fox did have a black guest but it was not Obama, it was Bertha Lewis CEO of ACORN. 

 

The buzz is that their funding from the feds is slated to be cut based on votes against continued funding. The lack of transparency through the ACORN umbrella sticks to the wall: the non-profit taxable status of the parent organization—the only one in the country! Glenn Beck’s guest this week climbed up a royal tree outlining Obama’s ties to “communists.” And how he came to power by being guided to move to Chicago where he would find the needed connections.  I found Beck’s show both interesting and highly entertaining.

 

Fox finally played the video and Ms. Lewis’ reply was that it was indefensible and that those folks were terminated immediately and the “couple” was thrown out (too funny).  Why would any legitimate organization entertain such line of questioning in the first place? There are some questions that have no real answers.

 

With his five fiery interviews did the President close the deal and save his presidency? Will health care reform be the 8th wonder of the modern world? One might summarize today’s blitz like so: the President was short on specifics but long on reassurances about health care reform. He assured us that it would not become the Colossus of Barack, or the hanging gardens around the neck of the left, nor the dreaded great pyramid scheme of illegal aliens, but that it would be the temple of the uninsured at gratis.

“Baking” Eggless brownies in microwave from a mix

There are lots of instant types in the store that are expensive. But I use the Ghiradelli box mix brownie with chocolate chips in the mix.

They are eggless. I add chopped walnuts to the dry mix and about a tablespoon of soy flour per cup of mix. I make only one at a time since I live alone and don’t want to pig out or be tempted to eat too much. My rule is one dessert a day. And never bake in plastic or styrofoam.

The trick is to only use enough water to wet the mix. Then bake it at 60% power in an older microwave oven, or more like at 40% power if it is newer. How to tell if it is overcook? If it is mushy and looks wet and has holes in it and does not taste right then you are baking it with too much power. There are now glutenless mixes … but they are expensive.

NEVER use full power! It takes about 2-4 minutes per 1.5 cups mix. Remove immediately. It might stick but you can take it out from bowl ASAP and it will be okay.

Father Damien Declared a Saint

Hawaii’s first saint

There is a new book about Father Damien who gave his life to the colony at Molokai in Hawaii and he is now Hawaii’s first saint…after Obama that is.

Gas pilot went out on my antique stove

After my kitchen remodel was done I realized that the pilot light in the oven of my circa 1950s stove still would not light up. So I went online and found an appliance repair that makes house calls. Well he cleaned out the gas opening and since this stove has like four pilots and the oven still does not work I had him turn off the other two pilot lights, one to a grill and a non working oven.

It only cost $50 bucks but I don’t have to worry about gas or carbon monoxide in the house. it was the best money I ever spent. Plus he showed me details about the stove I never knew.

Baking the perfect apple crisp

In case you don’t know what an apple crisp is–it is not an apple pie. Instead it is healthier and easier to make. This week I think I just made the perfect one. The good thing is that I accidentally discovered using soy flour instead of wheat or white flour…and voila you have a gluten-free dessert.

I used 6 apples, two honey crisp, one granny smith, and three fuji apples. Using a variety is key just don’t use the eating apples.

Slice them and put in a casserole dish. I used some pomegranate juice instead of water. A little cardomon and cinnamon and brown sugar sprinkled on top of the raw apples. Then make the crisp part separately in a bowl.

I mixed a cup or so of oatmeal, with a half cup of soy flour (or a wheat flour). Less flour than oats always. Then using non hydrogenated margarine or butter about three tablespoons and cup of brown sugar and a little white sugarand a large pinch of salt. Then I mix with a fork or fingers. Taste the mix and add cinnamon or any other spices U like, you can always add less or more sugar to the mix or use a raw type.

Crumble the mix across the top and bake on low 300 degrees for an hour. I top with sour cream while hot. After it is done of course.

“…For What, What For?”; Conservatives and Liberals Alike React, Decry Obama Peace Prize

This morning the president and his wife woke up to a Swedish surprise. It was not the 3:00 a.m. call that everyone dreaded rather a 6:00 a.m. call no one saw coming. Obama won the Peace Prize for 2009–who knew?

 

I rushed up to a colleague and told him if I did not have to be at work so early today I could have blogged Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize first. He looked at me stunned, I was unsure if he had not heard because he looked so puzzled. I must have assumed because he was black that he had voted for and/or was pro-Obama. I was wrong. He whispered: “For what? I didn’t vote for the guy!” I had no way of knowing if his reaction was from the right, center, left or uniformed wing. An hour later on the radio Sean Hannity sang out the same two words “for what?”

 

As for my own reaction I spoke aloud a single word. The same word I said when at the beginning of the school year we were told, in an imprompto meeting–that our beloved assistant principal was not sick, as we thought, but had died that morning: “What!?” The Swedish audience who got the news first also gasped in shock. I knew that the Right would have a  s*(& fit when they got the news. But I did not think that liberals too would be surprised at this prize. The radio heads are talking it up as a prize for destroying the country and making it fit for communists and socialists around the world to inhabit. You can see where Sarah Palin gets her sense of humor. The Right response clears the low bar for conservatives, liberals, and Republicans alike.

 

Honestly, I think that we are all confused and shocked. But conservatives just don’t know when to cheer and when to cry. They cheered when Obama helped the country lose Chicago’s Olympic bid and now have cried “foul” when Obama without any effort except for showing up wins the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009. I don’t get it; it was clear as dry paint. He won it because he earned it, or will earn it. It was an obvious vote of confidence.

 

Vote of confidence
Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said their choice could be seen as an early vote of confidence in Obama intended to build global support for his policies. They lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama’s calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen the U.S. role in combating climate change. msnbc

 

Votes aside, I thought that reading the Nobel selection process  would settle the argument for me. It was not illuminating either. The folks in Sweden start with letters that invite nominees in September and in October (13 months later) the one is chosen and notified. The famous awards ceremony is in December. By that timeline, there was plenty of time to watch Obama go from candidate to President and on the many jaunts around the world propagating peaceful waves wherever he went. But the candidates would have been chosen after Obama was president for only ten days. It took God seven days to create the world. There was no Nobel Prize for the Wright Brothers, because inventions are not discoveries in science and therefore not rewarded with a Nobel Prize. The impetus behind the Nobel Peace Prize would be the life’s work of a person. Obama still has a long way to go just in his presidency let alone his whole life lay in front of him.

 

When I created the feature “Bling it on!” I did not dream that Barack Hussein Obama would bring IT home–the mother of all bling. but he has. So, either President Obama has much to live up to or the Nobel committee got it wrong. And a group of Europeans have thumbed their noses at the world—too soon? Too bad!

 

PS: Cornell West (a liberal) weighed in too on Huffpo

Click here to listen to Dr. West’s remarks. Below is a transcript of Dr. West’s comments. He will be a guest on next week’s Tavis Smiley Show.

“It’s gonna be hard to be a war president with a peace prize. Gonna be difficult. Very, very difficult. And so I think he knows that and we as fellow citizens have to, um, as brother Tavis would say in his wonderful book Accountability, keep him accountable and loving and self critical, not self-righteous way. I think it’s very difficult for any head of an empire to be under the pressure of peace. ‘Cause you’re head of the largest military in the world, you got over a thousand military installments on the globe, you got ships in every sea. It’s very difficult. And I think following brother Martin King, we know that peace is not the absence of conflict, peace is the presence of justice. So They go hand in hand. Thank god for Hebrew scripture, Amos is no joke. Connected

Periodic Table of the Wingnut Elements

or the Periodic Table of Nuts? Either way I’ve never seen this idiom anywhere on the Internet. I claim its authorship then. I am teaching the periodic table just now in school and that’s what came to me.

Now later I can create an actual table and put some wingunts on it. I said that the JFK assassination was the gold element of wingnut conspiracy. So one might put Oswald nut on it.

November: “Wingnut conspiracy month”

I like that this article has been first found through blogsurfer.com. I think my idea here will bring order to a chaotic wingnut situation–LOL.

As I was reading an article by a BC editor I realized that November is next month. Weird things happen to me in November, especially on or around the 22nd. And this year I finally got up the nerve to go to the 6th floor museum and did not even go on tour, but it released much energy just the same. Michael Jackson died the next day!

By consensus it seems that until 9/11 the JFK assassination was the gold element on the periodic table of nuts.

Conspiracy buyers can be chalked up to the addictive nature of humanity. Yes, all beings are addicted to something by degree and kind. It’s something to think about and talk about, or in the wingnut’s case something to do or live up to.

And most of all it is something to believe in. And as you wisely point out some have made it a religion complete with a multitude of “bibles.” You don’t mention (I think) the millions of books written about said beliefs but that is all implied in this paragraph you (Dave Nalle on Idiotwars)wrote:

Belief in the mystical truth of the existence a conspiracy requires no factual evidence. It is in many ways just like a religion. When challenged, unreasoning faith can become dangerous fanaticism very quickly. Because their beliefs cannot be tested by logic, conspiracy theorists become especially strenuous in their defense and often prove utterly impervious to reason.

Dave Nalle

We know that in the JFK case — it was a single man with a single gun whodunit. But look at the cottage industry that has grown up around his death…something to do and even make money from.

my facebook comment: I declare November “Conspiracy Wingnut Month.” As Dave points out in his interesting article and by consensus until 9/11 that his death was the target of conspiracy theorists. It is clear to me that the JFK assassination was the gold element on the periodic table of nuts.

Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize–too soon, too bad

This am Obama got the 3am call he expected to get only it was from the Swedish Nobel committee. You won for your efforts at nuclear disarmament. No response.

That is how it goes in show biz. Was Obama a shu in? Who knew?

He was awarded the surprise so that the right wingnuts would go crazy.

Dave Letterman is a bad Jew

Dave Letterman has lots in common with some presidents. Except that he is not the president. He is more like a common whore, a bad Jew, an adulterer all the same adjectives that would apply to any man.

But why is money such an aphrodisiac? I mean Dave is just another white man with money and without morals. Jewish men can be quite handsome in fact really good looking but, Dave is not one of them. He is just a rich Jew, living with or married to a woman who looks Jewish but who was stupid enough or greedy enough to marry this man who can’t keep his pecker in his pocket.

Oh well, you might say that even beautiful goya women go through this and you would be right. Dave’s wife will probably come down with some horrible disease.

Celebrity Secrets For Sale

 

The last photo of Michael Jackson taken through the ambulance window as he lay dying (or already dead) was probably one of the luckiest photos of the decade. It sold to the highest bidder. But that get was just a drop in the paparazzi bucket. MJ died this past June, but the death of another celebrity — or rather, son of a celebrity — who died in January was back in the news.

Only recently has John and his wife been seen in public since the death of their beloved  son Jett. Medical problems dogged Jett’s life with seizures and in addition a form of autism. Because they are members of Scientology — John’s management of Jett’s medical issues only added insult to injury. They were too distraught to attend the cremation (may be a part of his belief system) ceremony of their son but remained in their secluded holiday hideaway for weeks.

When the extortion plot was exposed a trial date was set for those involved. John made plans to return to the Bahamas where his son died for the extortion trial. Jett, died January 2, 2009 while the family was on Christmas vacation. The circumstances surrounding his death were not suspect. The nanny tried to revive him and he was rushed to the local ER in the Bahamas. But the couple who transported the family involved saw it differently. They thought they had grounds for extortion. 

The couple threatened to release documents that incriminated John Travolta but there were no such documents in the first place.  

The price tag from the blackmailers in this case was $25 million dollars, in order that incriminating documents (they claimed) would not be released to the public. What were they thinking? The ransom was exorbitant but many other would-be sellers are getting paid for information marked “confidential.”  The sources are surprising and often official according to Nightline.

The selling of celeb secrets is a lucrative business. This black market is often filled by those on the lower rungs of the employment ladder who don’t have much to lose.

Two Ohio police chiefs illustrate this greed best. They however, were turned in by paparazzi! They were caught and arrested for breaking and entering Sarah Jessica Parker’s surrogate’s home in an effort to get information to sell to newspapers or tabloids.

In the case of the Michael Jackson’s photo inside the ambulance — that happened for a tenacious photog who had been waiting outside of Jackson’s rented mansion for something or anything to happen. In this case something did. The photographer did nothing criminal, unless you call standing in wait outside a private residence for days normal.

TMZ openly admitted that they too will pay for secrets and gossip from good sources, especially if they lead to a real story. One of the most outrageous secret leaks came in the case of Farrah Fawcett. She sued Lawanda Jackson for leaking medical news of her medical condition.  Farrah set up the “sting” before she died. She told her doctor that she would tell NO one that her cancer returned and if it got into the tabloids she knew the leak was on the inside. The story hit the tabloids the next morning.  While they bore the most guilt and responsibility–they are not alone. And this type of theft is nothing new.

Often celebrity sightings at hospitals, clinics or on vacation are the reason for gossip springs. Soon afterward actual medical information begins its short journey to willing buyers. As a former medical records technician I know that medical records are literally a paper trail. The records are hard copies filed with the patient’s number on it and the records are retrieved by a number. But how much security is that really? The thought of selling someone’s medical information is beyond criminal. It’s crazy.

While the extortion case for the Travoltas did not involve medical records per se it involved dubious documents that the sellers thought would bring a fortune. So be it photos, medical records or false documents  the paper trail laid out from earth to the moon is a lucrative business where death sells better than sex.

Murder-Suicide Strikes Soccer Mom

Melanie Hain is dead. She was probably shot with her own gun. This mom was packing a big one when she went to her daughter’s soccer game. That was a legal weapon but her license was revoked right after that in Sept 2008 it was felt that she used bad judgment in bringing it in the first place.

She and her husband were both found shot dead in their home. The cops are calling it a murder suicide. They were not a friendly couple and the neighbors did not know much about them. Guns lead to bad things regardless to what the righties say.

New Country, New Race

Soledad O’Brien of CNN is exploring race and being latino in America. She has the same roots as myself, white, black and Cuban. I also have Italian and Native American. And she easily looks like members of my own family on either side. This article is about he new classification. And if we do as Brazil has done “race by observation” then you would think that Soledad is a light skinned black woman, especially if she has her good hair au naturel. So if you are hispanic and look white, well then you are NOW white.

In case you were unaware the Feds have upped the ante on race in America. Now, if I want to I can claim all my races and my ethnic background. So, I would be hispanic, black and white on paper.

But there’s more: the illegals who have now moved here have gotten more than they bargained for–they are now white. This is what happened to the Irish and the Italians. In Europe they are the Mediterranean or the Celtic and they are not considered Anglo or Anglo Saxon or really white. But they are, it was a head fake by their brothers who said that being Anglo was superior to being from Sicily.

Here’s what makes me mad this is the same old thing: everybody in America is white including the Mexicans but blacks who have been in this country for centuries. Many like my immediate family, relatives and in laws and relatives by marriage look not black, but yet they are.

Welcome to America. Those who have been in this country as little as two months, on paper, are now white. They don’t want to be white but unless you can prove you are Native American then you are white.

Recall this is what happened to the Jews. They filled up Europe and became more white by intermarriage. Some did not intermarry but married within the family hence the hook noses and the eyes on top of each other etc. but they were white and Hitler did not like it so he set about fixing it. This sets up the game of the future for likely targets of genocide. The handwriting on the fed is not with invisible ink anymore…it’s real.

One Decade Two Films From The Modern Film Festival

(First published at Blogcritics.org)

This weekend the Modern in Fort Worth played host to modern cinema with a festival of 8 films. I missed the Precious buzz (an early packed house) but I got A Serious Man with An Education.

There were many similarities between the two films. Both were set in the 1960’s,  A Serious Man in 1967 and An Education in 1962, both had Jewish men as the lead character, both set in academia but that is not where the analogy ends — An Education’s screenplay was adapted from Lynn Barber’s memior and A Serious Man considered autobiographical for the Coen Brothers.

A Serious Man (cast) screened on Saturday, October 3rd.  The film’s strong message is don’t blame God if your life is not good–then it puts God in the stalker’s seat! This was the source of the film’s dark comedy. But one did not have to be religious,  Jewish or into physics to love this movie, however,  the calculus of  Jewish culture created a steep learning curve for the uninitiated. The audience was filled by many Jewish members of a local synogogue. I have probably watched more films set in Israel and other foreign films about Jewish culture and/or religion than I can count. And I predict that this film will among the critics’ choice for 2o09 for its daring dialogue and cryptic ending. 

The film begins and ends with the mysterious Rabbi Marshak. The hero is physics’ professor Larry Gopnik played impeccably by Michael Stuhlburg who does not crack a smile throughout.

The film draws the audience into a seeker role along with Prof. Gopnik. Gopnik goes kicking and screaming into solving the spiritual equation observant Jews around him set to zero but for him it feels like infinity, since he cannot escape the daily karma that has his name on it. He fights with himself, observant Jews, his Jewish relatives and even one strange Korean grad student.

A Serious Man booms and blooms with shifting scenes between authentic Jewishness and the world of the “goys.” The Coen brothers even took jabs at Jewish stereotypes with closeups on close-set eyes and resonated with the theme that Jews only hired other  Jews  for legal or medical reasons.

Larry’s neighbors  on either side of his home in the suburbs embody American apple pie and pot. And with them the Coen brothers’ film continues to wax dark. They are the subject of Larry’s nightmares.  When he awakes the nightmares haunt his day. He is the serious man alright, yet rarely ponders that his presence may be the problem.

There are two main reasons that this film had buzz: first, the strong interrelationship of multiple threads that ran through it and continually reconnected its thick story and secondly, its total Jewish immersion. Love it or hate it, this film rewired the senses and freed them to question existence.

An Education (cast)

Publicity released in early 2008  cast Orlando Bloom in one of the male lead roles, either the playboy boyfriend David Goldman played by Peter Sarsgard (an Illinois-born actor) or his best friend Danny played by Dominic Cooper. But  Bloom was not to be found in this 1960’s London mood film.

I have one disclosure to make–I love all films British and this one is no exception. I found it to be spot-on super.

An Education opens at the all-girls strict private school with the girls, naturally, walking with books on their heads to ensure posture. Jenny (played by Carey Mulligan) is a sixth-form school girl (senior) who can think of nothing but getting into Oxford, singing along with forbidden French records and pleasing her parents–within reason.

Everything changes when Jenny’s dripping while carrying a big cello.  Enter charm-the-soak-off-you David who offers her a lift home in his sports car. Their friendship evolves from exchanging glances over expensive dates that don’t end in a kiss to this-is-the-one look.

Jenny makes four and is one half of the other couple who pal around. David and Danny quickly display their English egos that require well-appointed townhouses, lavish dinners and trophy consorts. In the life and the film about “Jenny” Danny and Helen have front row seats to the mayhem and deception that awaits the cute 16-year-old turning 17 when she trusts a playboy and his declaration of love.

Films made from memoirs can often drag or focus on one single aspect of a life to the detriment of the story.  But the brilliant acting by Miss Mulligan has garnered Oscar buzz and quashed the cliche that straight-forward movies often get stuck in.  

Jenny thinks she is  a real woman  trapped in a girl’s bodice but Mulligan’s performance breathes a moutain of  life into flat pages because she is neither scripted nor sainted.  She rails at her Latin teacher about the expected ennui embedded in English culture. Her rant and the warning voices of authority both come back to bite her in the butt.

She’s not a woman after all and will swallow her British pride and turn to the women in her life to complete the education.  An Education is all about appeal and lacks nothing. You will leave the theatre but this film won’t leave you even after the music is silent and the film credits roll.

Obama ain’t got game, Olympics that is

In the first round of votes Chicago and by affiliation Obama have lost the Olympics race. Rush is having a field day with it. How would he too like a poll about whether his show should exist or not?

The Michael Jackson Tapes: Death Sells

In Rabbi  Boteach we have a rare opportunist. Death sells better than a free hot sex Web site (so I’ve been told). But in the case of MJ — less is more. Can the  random spoutings of MJ become a best seller?  Will celebrity posthumous confessions become a roadmap to name and fame?

Dateline conducted its own interview. They turned the whole hour over to this Rabbi and the voice of Jackson on tape. Together for nearly two years, the Rabbi and Michael Jackson talked  often over Sabbhath dinner with the children of Jackson in the background. Rabbi shot questions and in mostly stream of consciousness, the interviewed MJ answered. He talked about anything and everything Rabbi Boteach told Dateline in his interview. He talked about the Jackson tapes and portions were played. It was the voice of the singer.  

Michael’s confessions swung between Messiah complex and Peter Pan. He hated his look and did not want to grow old and ugly. I mean who does? Rabbi did broach the subject of the endless cosmetic surgeries. Jackson could not stop himself yet hated his “lizard look.” While much of the conversation on the singer’s side seemed disingenuous, one thing does break through to the listener — Michael has heart.  His sincerity rang true but much of the content was perplexing. There was no monitor or fact checking involved. Everyone talks from their own mind, bearing witness to what’s inside. In that way the rich and famous are just like us. The only difference being more money and time at their disposal. They have more so they do more. There is more time and funds to make crazy decisions and to act out fake fantasies. That is usually the chasm most regular folks do not cross.

Michael Jackson repeated himself.  He said that he became a pop icon because he wanted love in return. There was no talk of his musical self, his dancing self or his iconic self attached to that dream. But it was implied when he spoke of how people fainted, women screamed, children healed and Madonnas envied.

He was lauded in life he admitted as much. Thus Michael’s message was a mixed one: I want love at all costs–and oh by the way I can sing and dance!

Jackson’s voice was alluring, from the tapes, in a childish sort of way. But his storytelling was polluted–that of cancer healer and hated one, outcast. The Rabbi thought that he could reconcile the many “ Michaels.” He thought he could heal Michael. Now who’s delusional? And when he discovered that he could not change MJ he stopped the tapings. At some point, the Rabbi found MJ in a self-imposed drug-and-death spiral and abandoned him too. But kept the tapes–what a rare opportunist we find in the Rabbi.

If Jackson had not died just now his death would hold nothing but old news instead of oppulent theater, after a day or two, if this had happened  a decade or two forward. That was not to be. He died young as the Rabbi believed he would — death sells but early demise sells even better. Will a death, that seems to go on forever,  have four golden legs that any cow with a microphone or a computer can stand under and milk? I hope not. The next test will come in October when “This Is It” will be released in theaters for a short run. Sex sells but death sells better.

Palin not in demand on speech circuit

They tell her that her new book is selling but she is not, well, selling. The talk and the speech circuit. Remember that the one that pays big bucks for a speaker to sell himself in front of a big crowd? Yes, they command fees, just ask Bill Clinton. She ain’t getting none of that pie though.

In her speeches she screeches and reaches for intellectual air pockets but her presence has already sucked all the oxygen out of the room. She sounds like she is going down but not coming up. She has titled her memoir that she just finished “Going Rouge” I wonder where she got that title from?

Sick Fridays: Dennis Hopper hospitalized

Dennis Hopper hospitalized today for something or other. He is 73 and working on the TV series Crash. It seems easier for old men to get fresh roles on TV than it is for old women to get fresh roles.

Nonetheless he has a part on the TV series. Hopefully he won’t end up on Famous Fridays this week. For now he is in the hospital. He is best know for being the sidekick motorcycle rider in “Easy Rider.” Long time actor and a damn good solid actor.

Infamous Fridays: Couey convicted child killer dies in prison

John Couey convicted kidnapper, sex offender, child rapist, child killer buried alive victim Jessica Lundford near her Florida home.

He died at 51 of natural causes. He was ill and faced the death penalty. Many new and tougher laws were enacted after this murder in 2005. Confessing and giving details of the crime were hard for the family. He kidnapped her, held for for a few days (typical) might have kept her in sexual bondage for days or years but the cops had the dogs out looking for her. Since she was being held near her home they would have found her.

He convinced her to get in a big plastic bag, and put another one on top and buried her alive. Slow, painful death. He didn’t die soon enough.

Bold Poll on Facebook–killed by Secret Service

The wingnuts have really flown off the handle with this one. Some facebook user created a third-party (outside) poll and linked or imported it into fb asking if “Obama should be killed?”

The cause centered around healthcare outrage. Some fb users found this friend a threat and reported it to facebook admin. The poll was taken down. And they believed it went up over weekend when the wingnuts flew in cause they thought no one was minding the store.

Good work to the finders. Good luck getting anywhere close to the President.The service is like a cloak wrapped around him. Nowadays they would have to take out an army of secret service to get to him. Not like when I was in that office. Oh no, now the horse tenders have finally closed the barn door. Safe is no longer a four-letter word.

Great Race off to a great start in Tokyo

This season’s great race looking good. They started off in Tokyo and had to eat wasabi. WTF hot wasabi. It is like fire moving through your mucous membranes. It is like they are on fire! I love some wasabi. But eating a whole boat load of it in two minutes sucks. The teams had to suck it down too.

There are actually some black teams. Well, one is an interracial couple. She was Miss TN and she is black and he is white. Then there are two strapping, corn-fed black ball players from the Harlem Globetrotters.

This is the first time that a team was eliminated from day one, minute one. The yoga couple did not see the clue on the top of the first pack to help them find the license plate that went with Japan.

Cool mud and rain in Viet nam. I hate Viet Nam.

Famous Fridays: William Safire Dead of pancreatic cancer

William Safire was a firecracker. He embodied a crackpot wordsmith and pundit all rolled into one. He was a conservative word whore for the right. He came up with nattering nabobs of negativity that Nixon or one of them used.

He did not work for Kennedy–one of the few dying these days who did not. It is nice to know that there were some genuinely conservative Jews in the media who helped the right get their message both right and out to the public. He was a talking head and put many words into many mouths. However, he had a real pundit’s head on his shoulders.

I did not know the guy but he was famous and he died, so we file him and bid him a Famous Friday farewell.

Roman arrested in Switzerland

I recently read the book “The Pianist” which was a true warsaw ghetto tale. But started doing research on the Polish Krakow ghetto from where Roman Polanski and his Jewish family were living when all but Roman ended up in German ovens.

The Krakow ghetto is harder to research. You have to hunt down the ghetto stories much like the quick police have trapped him with a warrant from 1978. They are too fast for me.

According to cnn Anjelika Huston was there when the incident happened. She’s a slut too. She blamed the victim by saying she did not look 13. Who the hell does really look 13 when full of makeup and oil?

Girls always look older than their age belies. Roman was nabbed in Switzeerland because the Swiss were about to bury him under some great film honors.

They have bad taste.

Vanity Fair featured archives — All about the Kennedys

Archives from Vanity Fair. I just read the article about the Hotel du Cap. I’ve seen du Cap from a little distance. When we were driving from Menton to Monaco you can see it jutting out into the sea. My friend pointed it out to me and told me that it was called du Cap. But it was the wealthiest few square miles on earth. I am not sure how he conveyed this but he did. My french was not too great at the time, nor was his English.   But he was right and I got it. I have photographs and passports to prove it.

I just looked out into the inky sea and saw this glittering place. Knowing from a long-ago dream that I had spent time on the french Riviera. I thought the dream was about this life and taking le train bleu to the Riviera. But it was not. We took the TGV together not the train bleu. There was no TGV back in the day.

The train bleu is what USED to run from Paris to the cote d’Azur and I relived it in a dream that matched the place to a T. Who knew? I found out I had been there in another life when I went there in this life.

Makenzie Phillips — You lie!

Makenzie I’d like to invite you to pull up a cozy chair in front of a zillion people and have a cup of hemlock. You are a miserable liar who needs some serious euthanasia to put you out of your misery. If the best you can do is create crazy for real victims of physical, emotional or mental abuse is to lie then you need to die by your own hand.

Sure the Egyptians were advanced and practised incest especially the royal family including the Ptolemies. But you are no Cleopatra–Makenzie.

By the way Cleo patra means literally lover of father.

I do not watch Oprah anymore and this crap and her death fawn over white women is sickening, and yet another reason to steer clear of the downward spiral of TV and desperate daughters like Miss Phillips.

Obama Cares: Talking Down to the Fired Up

Roger Simon said: “If Obama can’t sell government as a force for good that is who he is, and if he can’t sell that then he can’t sell his presidency.”

Before President Obama made his media blitz this past Sunday he went on the road. He played host in small towns and hamlets to audiences that regaled him. The crowds listened to the President recount how one voice began the rally cry “fired up and ready to go!” He shook his head and laughed at himself as he recalled his displeasure to find he was soaking wet in front of an audience of twenty people. But it was that atypical setting where he got the word and found his candidate voice. Obama hoped that the magic and the fire would return by, well, if he retold how he found it in the first place. Those who sat close to the fire of his speech were warmed by it; however the crowds outside held up clear signs of the times that could not be ignored. Somebody was fired up this time – the right.

Obama Cares!
I watched three interviews and felt talked down to with all of them. But I was not outside among the fired up nor among those who cat-called “communist.” Socialism was the mortar but the rocks of the five interviews—the Carter comments about overwhelming racism behind the ugly mocking of Obama and health care reform.In the Meet the Press interview when asked about Carter’s contention, Obama calmly disagreed. He stated that for the media race and controversy was “catnip.” He repeated this at each interview, which was as homogenous as the nightly news that racism was not solely behind the outrage.

While the President was right to defuse the reminder that he was black, he missed an important opportunity to talk to the people. Instead he talked down to them. His only specific was the “ 3 principles” he mentioned on This Week 1) affordable health insurance (if you don’t have) 2) reforms will give you more security (If you do have insurance) 3) deficit-neutral spending while driving down costs in the long term. How can a complex overhaul of a thousand pages be boiled down to a couple of sentences? President Obama put away Professor Obama when he needed him most.

George Stephanopoulos challenged the President most when he cited the dictionary definition of “tax,” and secondly when he closed the interview with the Kennedy-Khrushchev meeting debacle. He asked Obama had he met with a similar brick wall. Obama answered with “somehow I am not breaking through.” I felt Obama’s discomfort with the analogy because he said he was not having problems on the foreign policy front, but on the home front with health care. Truly he was not breaking through the brick wall of his own making. However, This Week’s Roundtable summed it up nicely: Those who are insured don’t get it. So, why health care reform now?

On Face the Nation Obama pressed the padded-profits button and overcharges by insurance groups. He argued that they passed the costs on directly to consumers who were overcharged by 14%. Michael Steele made a few cogent remarks in his Republican rebuttal for Face the Nation. He was clear: Taxes will be greatly increased on the middle class—bottom line. The Right was squeamish about a massive tax and spend that loomed and was inherent (they argue) in health care reform.

Children of the ACORN

What were the right talkers up to while Obama shelled out five network interviews? Fox News Sunday and Glenn Beck (Saturday) were shut out completely. So Fox covered the big cauldron that ACORN fell into with a discussion of the advice-to-the-pimp video LOL. Fox had a black guest but it was not Obama, it was Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN. The buzz, and it’s getting louder, was that their funding from the feds was slated to be cut. The lack of transparency through the ACORN umbrella stuck to the wall: the non-profit taxable status of the parent organization—the only one in the country! This was news to me.

Fox Sunday played the video and Ms. Lewis’ reply was that it was indefensible and that those folks were terminated immediately and the “couple” was thrown out (too funny). Why would any legitimate organization entertain such questions in the first place? Some questions have no real answers.

Finally, Glenn Beck’s guest climbed up a royal tree and outlined Obama’s ties to “communists.” And how he came to power because he was guided to move to Chicago where the needed connections would be found.

With five fiery interviews the President needed to close the deal and save his presidency. He needed most to shut down the populist backlash. Members of his own party told him to forget it—we don’t need their support. We will go it alone and get it done.That’s a wonder in itself. Opposition voiced concern that a veritable Colossus of Barack was planned, and that the power of the President’s persuasive speeches and appearances created a temple to his personality.

The Democrats have rightly worried that a rapid reform bill would become the hanging gardens around the neck of the left, or the dreaded great pyramid scheme of illegal aliens. The media blitz over and with 142 interviews behind him can Obama rest now? It was obvious that he knew a herculean task laid before him—that of cleaning out the stables amidst wild horses. This time President Obama had to take down the fired up.

Famous Fridays: Jett Travolta Dies in the Bahamas

While vacationing in the Bahamas tragedy struck the Travolta family. Jett Travolta died on Friday, January 2nd. He had a known history of seizures and when found in the bathroom the nanny tried to revive him.

Looking at Jett, the immaturity of his teeth and the stare on his face, he does not appear to be there emotionally or mentally 100%. He probably needed more attention than the family realized. Did he have Kawasaki syndrome?

It was only in the last month that John Travolta has returned to the public eye. There is no getting over the death of a child. So to make matters worse there were folks in the Bahamas who tried to make money from the death of a beloved son.

The latest news on this Friday’s death is that there will soon be a trial in the Bahamas for two people who attempted to extort $25 million dollars from the family. John is expected to testify.

An ambulance driver and a former Bahamas senator allegedly targeted Travolta after his chronically ill son died in the Bahamas. They are accused of demanding money in exchange for not publicizing a document related to 16-year-old Jett Travolta’s treatment.

That’s a lot of money. The documents were said to have never existed in the first place.

Black people who look, well, not black

The very reason for my early belief in rebirth (I knew it as reincarnation at the time) is that fact that I was surrounded by relatives, and my own image in the mirror, who did not look black. In fact as many creoles will tell you they did not really see or know race. We did not see ourselves as either black nor white. I have a picture of my sister.  If she gets lost in a crowd of white people it is hard to find her..LOL. She was Kathleen Kennedy in her last life. She and my brother were same siblings. Interesting that both died in plane crashes and both returned as Geminis.

I do have lots of pics at The Politikos, but have not had time to move them here.  

But on my facebook page they are filling up the pages with their beautiful images. They have golden skin, golden or blue eyes and brown eyes and brown skin. But the features and expressions on their faces is what exudes an other-worldliness that is neither black nor white. I hope to update this and actually start a study of race using family and friends. But people are not too cooperative with me.

I hate that but I also don’t want to make enemies. So bear with me. This is crucial because it is the sine quo non of my belief and knowledge that there are no first folks on the planet, or very few. My relatives are certainly the Jews of old. It ’s in their faces.

More later

Here’s something I wrote today on a site called Guy White–making sense of race.

Biological anthropologists would look at the shape of the head. The long head, is a mark of blackness. The short head is a mark of caucasians. If you have a combo of short head, and straight hair for example (to name two markers) then you have someone who is phenotypically white, at least.

Enter Mexicans–most have very flat heads, or short heads and flat faces and straight hair, I call it Chinese coarse hair, and are now considered caucausian due to their Spanish ancestory.

Some look like N. Africans, and Indians (from India).

There are two ways to look at it: 1) observers think in terms of race, or 2) no black blood period. If a person looks white, then they are white, if they look black then black. If in America regardless how you look if you have one drop or one black relative then you are black.

Now I see why I got a call from Mike Huckabee he just won a straw poll for 2012 over Mitt Romney. He is trying to raise money and awareness for his bid. I agreed with his program but I said I would not donate. Maybe he is targeting Tarrant county which is a conservative county.

Yale Hired a Killer — bottomline

Thanks to the woman who did not report the rape or assault case against Raymond Clark  years ago, Yale hired a killer. He was arrested today. Yale hired him from 2004 and he has been a model employee. Reprimanding anyone who did not wear the lab booties.

Yale is not to blame here. If there was no paper trail leading to this man as a potential or convicted criminal there was nothing to do but hire the nice-looking qualified white male.

I’ve worked in a lab, yes I have, and usually there is a feeling of safety except when working late. I did not keep one lab job because I refused to work killer hours for them when I had two kids. Work kills and so do principals!

Cops Clock Clark

In Pig Trough today is the murder arrest of Ray Clark in the murder of Annie Le. He could also be charged with kidnapping in this case. He has a prior that was never reported.

As I told you he was NOT a student but an employee of Yale. Yale and other schools employ many non students and non professionals. If the woman who claims that there was a sexual assault by Ray Clark then he would have a possible record and Yale would not have hired him.

But white folks and black folks don’t report shit and then it hits the next fan.

Rush calls Jimmy Carter “the hemorrhoid”

Rush had me laughing today. He came up with something, well original. He called Jimmy Carter the hemorrhoid of this country. Jimmy is white and he gets the venom of both sides. Rush pretty much hated Carter and many agree that he was not qualified to be president and one of the worse presidents of all time.

Carter could have done better. Now Osama has his book on the must-read list because of the proported anti-semitism in it. The title Apartheid in relation to Israel was ugly.

Forest Oak Cemetary Holds MJ remains

Here’s a short youtube clip of the final resting place of MJ. He was not buried at Neverland. He was laid to rest in a white on white suit with white gloves. His hair was done and his daughter put a charm in the golden casket.

It was not a blowout but a small ceremony, private in nature on Sept. 4, 2009. There was much delay in his burial date. The body is back in the casket where it belongs. His mom was grief stricken. Moms never get over losing children.

He is surrounded by a repro of Cistine-like proportions. It is a fab place to be buried. Will he be watching or returning? My guess is that he will be back soon.

Okay so it is a post for Famous Fridays. Patrick Swayze is dead of pancreatic cancer at age 57. It is what the masters teach: that we are all given a mix of good and bad karmas to pay off.

He was looking as bad as the teacher who also BTW died today of stomach cancer and he was only 37. He looked like he had AIDS to me and I told a couple of people I thought so. The family kept it top secret and today, boom at the end of the day the principal calls all teachers to the library to tell us that so and so died today. I said “what?” Somebody is lying. But anyway lots of people dying this week LOL.

He was the star of Dirty Dancing.

Death by twitterati

Patrick Swayze dead…5 seconds ago…This is rumor circulating by twitter somehow. I just spotted it after it had been a twit all of 5 seconds. I thought, hmmm, first news of Swayze death. Then someone twits it a rumor. I then go to Google and it came back as a rumor. Today, the buzz will be more about twitter and what happened than about the death of an actor.

This was no random rumor. This was an inside job by a knower. The rumor lasted all of ten seconds.  The actor was dead. The rumor was caught. The news is that twitter got punked somehow. It is not too far fetched to hear the actor has died because he was looking like hell just days ago.

So, breaking: It was NOT a rumor. Don’t know who started that one. I did not start it but I guess I did spread it until I confirmed it was real. Here’s the link about his death.

Watch Precious: Whoa! What it’s like to be fat, black, ugly and single mom

Here’s the trailer for this movie Oprah is backing or helping to distribute widely. It looks damn good I must admit. The girl who plays Precious based on the book “Push” is really black, ugly, obese, fat, single mom, abused and unloved by mother. She feels unloved and strikes out. I have had students in my class who look just like this girl.

Whitney Houston just a common crack head

I love me some Whitney singing but let’s face it from her own lips she reveals to Oprah that she was just a common crackhead. That’s too bad. And yes somebody made a lot of money off her habit. She mentions that too.

The candid interview is nice but somehow it seems that it might encourage kids to imitate this superstar singer/diva. She did and so can I.

I did watch the whole second interview and at the end she sings from her new album “I look to you.” She touched Oprah with that song. I guess she was saying that she was looking to her soul her self and now she knows her own strength.

I am not knocking that she was a crackhead. I was using drugs too without my knowledge but with my consent. Does that make sense? Well, I used speed and that was before folks really knew that it was the addictive drug that it was and docs gave it away like candy. I pulled myself out before I became addicted. It was too late for my ex he did succumb to drug addiction as did my brother and uncle.

I feel for the common crackhead. But keep your distance. That’s a good album title don’t you think?

School Stalker (arrested) Killed Annie Le–PhD student–updated

See my Cops Clock Clark.

My opinion is the case in the case of Annie Le’s murder. The stalker/lab tech person with defensive wounds has been identified as Raymond Clark III. He is a young white male who may have had a serious crush on Annie. So, he probably knew she was engaged. I said that his attraction for her was a motive. Hence being engaged and not interested  in dating another man is key. Did she spurn him or just ignore him. It is difficult being an attractive woman alone.

In the link above he has on a devil mask. But on the news tonight they showed a clear photo of him. He was ordinary looking, attractive, white male who worked for the university but was not a student, again as I indicated in his profile below.

 

This could be a case of an acquaintance/stalker killer. People who may work in the same building with you, you see them, maybe greet them, but don’t know them. The suspect is not a student but may have worked in one of the departments of the school or building.

Universities hire and staff the school with many people who are not students. They are big employers. They just might have hired a killer. They also do background checks. Who slipped through the net?

Profile: It was probably a man who noticed her but had no connections with her or other women. If she was engaged she might have been or seemed absent minded and distracted. She cautioned others to not take too much money on their person. She followed her own advice. But she did not know the killer was watching her right in the building. Did he know she was engaged too?

What has West, Kanye Done Now?

Kanye goes in the pig trough today. His rant was indefensible. Beyonce is not just all booty, she is also a beautiful person inside. Here’s her classy response:

“I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child, and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life,” Knowles said, referring to the girl group with which she had her start. “So I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.”

Speaking to reporters later, Swift was understated about her take on the disruption. CNN

I missed the rant but MTV awards are not high on my priority list of things to watch or do. He did a drunken rant from what I gather.

White People Protesting Obamacare

The tax payer protests are made up of mostly white, white people. Here in Fort Worth it was rainy but 10,000 (really) people protesting downtown to oppose the spending that is going on in DC.

They are the dominant tax payer and the race in this country. But they too are going broke over health care.  Do white people have a smaller gene pool than other racial groups? Is that what makes so many of them think, act and look alike? Makes you wonder.

Where’s Annie Le?–FOUND! (Missing Yale grad student)

Cops have just located the remains of Annie Le in a wall at the medical school. She was seen on video entering it, but not caught leaving it. The dogs in the building and around searched for five days nonstop.

Was this the work of a stalker or serial killer or acquaintance kill?

Annie Le is missing. She was to get married. She was a grad student at Yale nursing school. She has not been found but some bloody clothes were found hidden in her lab at Yale on yesterday.

The DNA tests are not in for the clothing. No one knows where she is just days before her wedding. In this case, her Polish fiance has been cleared. He is a student at another university. They met at university. She was glad to be engaged and getting married. She realized she lived in an urban setting. Annie had just written a story about being safe in a college setting that was in a large metropolis just days before. Ironic. Maybe she was feeling stalked and wanted to soothe her intuition by writing that she was being cautious.

Where is Annie Le is the big question that could be answered in part in the coming week. Why? Because this case has garnered national attention and the cops will be doing their job. We think.

 Often people who live in a country outside of their origin meet with foul play in their new country. They die young and then return to the new country in a new body. Interesting how many people from other countries do die here. If there were stats on this I think we would find that percentage-wise that is the case.

Here’s a link from Daily Beast on the latest.

Serena Williams: How Judges Killed Her Win — WTF?

Serena did not lose the US Open. The judges called a “double foot-fault” on her. There’s your what the f(&(k moment. There’s the outrage for tennis lovers and for Serena “Not so Serene” Williams. Here’s the youtube clip of the action if you missed it.

She said she had a worse temper but has gotten better. But she has a good reputation on the courts. Why call a double  foot-fault near the end of the whole thing is how one reporter for MSNBC put it. I have to agree. I’ve watched pro tennis for decades and have never seen it before. I missed this match and have not been as diligent about watching the games as I used to be with my travel and teaching but I know the game.

Serena did not lose. The judges killed her win with that call. Then she got outraged and her opponent took the lousy win as offered by the judges. Finally after Serena threatened to shove a ball or something down the judges throat they called the game for Kim. Kim accepted a dirty win.

Tennis pro Conners, I think, was watching and used my phrase: he said he could not “defend the indefensible” when Serena did her ghetto thing with the judges.

Stossell Steps Down from 20/20 Perch

John Stossell is leaving ABC and all that money from 20/20 to join Fox News with his own show. Some call it faux news. He joins FOX as a libertarian and will help out the business end with other experts. Libertarian as in the party of weirdos who speak when they are not spoken to and who get doors slammed in their faces for outing sham enterprises.

I appreciated his reporting and a lot of it made sense. But I think he was a bit incensed when he did not get the top slot when Barbara Walters retired. But my argument at the time, not really I suggested she be put out to pasture and let a Gentile take over–which happened, is really why Stossell did not get the job. He’s a Jew. A very nice Jew, but still a Jew. And there may have been some reverse discrimination going on there.

But if you look at the lineup of most everything where there is lots of money to be had the takers are mostly white men, period. Since Stossell puts himself in the good Jew/good man column let him blog and tell tales about that inequity. He probably won’t. They are said to focus on health care also.

I think he was biding his time for a door to open up. It did and he went. See fox run.

Michelle’s PSA in Pearls

Not only is Michelle Obama wearing pearls in this just-released psa with Jill Biden, but she is also wearing the dusty pink lipstick she wore with that suit. She looks great. Can’t say that I can take credit for it, but maybe she did listen. It may have been shot last week, not sure, but it was released just last night or is yet to come.

The Informant! with Matt Damon

I was looking for some good or bad reviews of this new film but came up empty. One reviewer, actually a comment was really ugly. They hated it. But other top critics liked it.

So, not sure yet will keep you posted. It is based on a true story and is billed as a comedy and suspense. Who knew you could have both in one movie. Sounds corny to me. But I do like or prefer true stories on film.

Famous Fridays: Larry Gelbart — M*A*S*H Creator Dead at 81

Famous Fridays has seen the death of the oldest woman and of Larry Gelbart the creator and writer of M*A*S*H. I know MASH vicariously because my boyfriend at the time loved the show and never missed it. Maybe because he was a colonel in the army reserve. It was a good show no doubt. It was way too white for my taste especially in the 1970’s when black folks couldn’t get a role on TV but could get a place in line for welfare.

Gelbart is said to have kept writing up to three weeks ago.

He also helped write Tootsie and Oh, God. But his TV sitcom MASH about army docs in the Korean war ran from 1973 to 1982 and was wildly popular. It was based on a book by the same name.

Okay, he fits: today IS Friday and he is famous.

Fort Worth To Install 8-foot bronze statue of JFK

The funding to place a statue of JFK, John F. Kennedy, in downtown Fort Worth, TX near where he stayed that night and spoke to a group of blue collar men outside and later inside the hotel. Many are upset that the city, from drilling funds, has found the cash for the $250,000 statue in bronze.

I have often mused that Fort Worth is my home precisely because it was the last city or place where JFK was alive and well.

Here’s the link with a pic of the statue and the location from the Star Telegram

The Right is Always Right

That’s what Joe Wilsom was thinking when he blurted out “you lie.” Does not matter if it is true or false but he is from the right therefore it was the right thing to do. Wilson, you lie.

Obama uses my question and gets heckled

About a month ago Roland Martin on my facebook page asked everyone to submit questions for Obama on healthcare. There was no speech planned but forgot what was coming up. I did not hear any more about my question which went like: the Republicans are already saying that the illegals will be able to game the system if we get universal health care. I have to find my exact words but I used “gaming the system” in connection with illegal aliens. I don’t think anyone else submitted it just like that.

So he speaks it and out comes “you lie” from Rep. Wilson. Well, Wilson is wrong on substance and style. I hope he wrong because no one can be turned down for care at an ER. No one can be turned away at the door of any public school. I call that gaming, but that’s just me.

Tyler Perry: Another low-budget loser “I can do bad all by myself”

Oh boy, can’t miss this one. Tyler Perry cranks out another low budget formula flick. He has the same people but now he has a real star Taraji Henson. But you know black women have few roles so I don’t blame her for working for Tyler.

But the main thing is that they do make money despite being so canned. He opens them with the same rusty can opener and pours them into the same old dish and pitches it in front of the same audiences.

Maybe this one will be a little fresher.

Grey’s Anatomy Taking my advice

Hmm, I like that Grey’s is taking my advice. I said lose McKnight and gain more time for Dempsey. It seems they are going to give him a promotion and he will have a higher profile in the show. That may mean losing the last male black doctor. But they can replace him with a new resident.

Now, if only Rachel Ray’s show has its last season.

Nicole Richie biracial, but baby daddy Joel Madden Jewish — Updated

Not a problem. Nicole is adopted. Lionel is NOT her daddy. If you look at the pics of her as a child she has wavy, dark brown hair. She looks perfectly biracial. More white than most biracial people. Joel Madden’s family changed their original Jewish name of Reubens Comb to Madden some time back. The couple are featured on People with new baby Sparrow.

We won’t know how the children will look until they get a bit older. The baby’s daddy is rapper joel madden (couple)  and he is white. The racial mix of Nicole’s children actually mirrors that of my sister’s grandchildren. And they look white (I don’t have permission to display their photos) but with blue eyes, fair skin and blonde hair and thin shapes they look white, trust me.

That brings me to the birth certificate. If I were Nicole or my relatives I would use white. Why? Because that is how they are doing it in Brazil with their new racial classification. Yes, that simple. Regardless to the racial mixing the person becomes classified as white if they look white. That makes sense of and minces the old one drop rule. Today that is passe because some people have such a small percentage of black blood and look entirely white.

When Kos, Daily Kos, debated side by side with former Congressman from TN (name…he lost the senate seat) I quipped that only in America could a “white” man look more black than a black man and be called white. Kos is from Guatemala or somewhere.

Anyway I think that with the new racial classifications going on at public schools now wherein you can more closely identify your race there will be a shifting. More Mexicans will be able to become “white” on paper and same for blacks who have not already done so.

I think that will put us closer to the system they use in S. Africa of white, black and coloreds than we might like. But in many ways it is far more accurate.

I can thank my tankless for this

Tankless water heaters mean endless hot water, not instant. But it is one hell of a comfort just the same. But think that is uniquely American? Think again. If you have not traveled abroad then you would think we are first in tankless but we are not. You can also buy a device that will give you instant hot water but that is another 20o bucks or so.  The equipment and install will be more than 2K even for a small house. Only use a professional. Don’t let a contractor do it for you. Go directly and deal with a professional yourself on this one.

When I first went to India over ten years ago they used only tankless so has all of Europe. For two reasons: they take up less space, you can put them anywhere, buy small or large units.  It is call point heating only what you need. America is way behind the curve on this one. I looooooooove mine. Only buy a  Noritz though it is certifiable. You also get a tax break.

Ellen the degenerate to be new Idol host WTF

Perez is also aghast that Ellen is to be the new Idol host. Does she replace Paula? I don’t think so. Was not going to watch it anyhow.

Do you believe the President’s Math?

That’s my question. What am I thinking he really has not given us the math, he has given us the map to getting health care passed. The map is not going to get it for me. I want to know how many people really need it. Why can’t we just fix what’s broken?

I am not buying that this bill will make me safer from the insurance companies. John McCain got his kudos as did Ted Kennedy but I want to know the numbers and the math. It does not add up.

One thing is for certain emergency medicine in this country is excellent. It is the best thing we do. That’s one reason people overuse it. It is extremely expensive. The docs work 12 hour shifts and make like $300.00 an hour or more. That’s only the doc’s pay. They can be just working there and bill the hospital. They are not necessarily a part of the hospital staff or on the payroll.

If you go to a private doctor you might pay $100, but that same visit could cost $1000 at the ER or more. I’ve already posted the cost of an ambulance ride–more than a thousand dollars just for a couple of blocks around the corner!

My plan would be to expand what works: ERs and make them into docs in the box wherein they are not so expensive. This is where social medicine comes in — cap the costs! Let me say that again you must CAP THE COSTS of the best form of American medicine.

Allopathic medicine FIXES what’s wrong. It does NOT prevent it. That is counter to the nature of medicine in this country. I cannot stress that enough.

Will illegal aliens continue to game the system? Of course as long as they can walk into an ER and get care right then, right there. But that goes for anyone who has nothing to lose.

Jackie Kennedy Through Time

Unpublished pics from Time.com. One of my favorite pics of her included here.

Michelle Obama: Pretty in Pink

On 09/09/09 Obama delivered a rare joint session speech. He wore a red stripped tie and Michelle, she wore pink, well dusty rose actually. But with the matching lipstick–looked the best I’ve ever seen her. She can wear that color well. She did not have her arms out. Her hair was perfect. I saw her stand up and it was a suit. Yes, you should wear more suits Michelle quite fetching. Causal solid colored suits, suit you fine. You might also want to grab a pair of pearls, they are classic too.

When she goes on casual outings I think she needs a little more pizzaz. She looks too much like she is still on the block on the southside of Chicago. If you look at the photos of Jackie when she was playing…she was still stunning. She would wear sun dresses and fitted slacks with a jacket of some sort, unless she was on the beach naturally.

I think Michelle could perk up her casual outfits a bit more. The fall and winter are coming so she should be looking a bit more formal rather than casual. Since she does not have little babies she could wear suits, casual suits more often. Hillary is still rocking the pantsuits. She wore a cherry red suit. She looks good in red. And with her post oak legs, well I can see her covering them up. But speaking of Hillary I like her more each day in her new role as top dog in the house, I mean cabinet.

I listened to Mark Levin on the way home. And he said that he would break up the president’s speech in bits and pieces, live while he spoke. He said that they would rather listen to him! Oh boy, what a big head. I am listening to the speech now and Barack just used my phrase “game the system.” I gave Roland a question to feed to Obama and it was about illegal aliens not being able to game the system. He just used it in the same context as I did. Now someone heckled him with “you lied.”

I dreamt the leader of Israel was dead

I hear headlines in my head and the last one I heard before it broke was the death of Ted Kennedy. He thought he had time, I didn’t. But that’s all I know now.

Here’s Hitchens Hit Job on Ted Kennedy

Hitchens hit job on Ted Kennedy

In this, what I call fetching farewell to Ted Kennedy, Hitchens paints the true potrait of the right wing nuts and bolts, true feelings about Camelot and the love fest the media shamelessly foisted on a resistant public. He dishes the best anti-obit on a Kennedy you ever want to read.

He is the antimatter to the Kennedy DNA you might say. He gauges and measures the interior by the exterior. The Kennedy men were hawks before they were doves, were racists before they were activists, were whores before they were dads, were boneheads before they were boring, were stoners before they were sober.

But you know Hitchens is perfect so he can throw the first stone at the dead first family and brothers once called Camelot.

Obama Karate Chops Green Yoga Or Checking Ass Holds in the Mirror

In dancing as in yoga one must frequently check the ass hold to make sure you are holding up your end.

This past week the right has been checking the ass hold of the the man to the left instead of their own. There is a word for that but it escapes me.

The Beckers of the world get it right sometimes. And questioning, not the credentials of Mr. Jones, because they couldn’t, but his radical position on 9/11 is not one of those times. Some say it is not so radical to seek answers to the Twin Towers demise. Every man has a right to his own position be it out of alignment with his head, but no one can see the heart or its posture in the mirror at a fitness club or a yoga class.

Heloise never heard of Van Jones before this latest tempest. In this one-minute Amazon segment he touts his book as a “green new deal” and the best-selling book “Green Collar Economy” put Jones on the yoga fast track to the WH no doubt. Green czar or navel gazer the guy quit before he could complete a lousy sun salutation. It’s not how well you do your duty but how long you can hold on to it. And on that score Mr. Jones is sorely in need of what I call “job viagra.”

The galaxy turns slowly when you meditate outside of the asteroid beltway. And that’s what master Jones has done–moved way too slowly in changing his left-wing posture–the one that can be observed by Mr. Beck. However much fodder Van provided the right in his truther defense or by calling out the Dems as ”assholes” he got it right. He has the right to his opinions and observations.  Van got what he did not deserve–derision and hounding. 

What’s more he made it worse by quitting in the face of a little charactor chopping by the right radio talkers. The WH said that it was not Obama who delivered the coup de grace, but Van himself who resigned on a holiday weekend at midnight. Van should have pleaded the fifth.

The Beckers (my term) and the peckers also have the right to remain silent but they chose never to exercise that muscle. It is far too easy to criticise a black bald man’s yoga than it is to check a nearby mirror at their own ass holds.

Life will go on after Van. He will nurse his karate encounter with the WH and the beckers. He will write another book, this time about holding his down dog for a record eight months on the WH lawn. Then maybe the Beckers will take off the black belt and the dark sunglasses. I won’t be holding my posture for that one.

Michael Moore’s New Movie

What’s it all about Michael? His new movie says capitalism: a love story. But isn’t Moore a capitalist? Does he not know what capitalism means? Might have to miss this one.

Here’s one review of the movie.

Is “acted stupidly” being amended with Obama’s student speech?

That’s what I think. Although no one else in the media has tied these two together. Heloise however strings them along like pearls because I wrote that Obama made my freakin job harder by dissing authority. I think I am right.

Van Jones: Good riddance to bad rubbish

Was Van Jones a skeleton radical in the White House closet? Did the President have to put away the things of childish revolution when he attained the office?

Van Jones is a polemic character wading out of a polical storm. I heard the right talk him out of his job because he is too radical. So Van resigned this weekend. He was to be the green czar. He was one among many playing “dancing with the czars.” Cute. Way too cute from the wingnuts.

Yes, maybe czars are unconsitutional. They usurp and circumvent the chain of command. They are not accountable to the people.

Van will have to peddle his brand of fiery politics elsewhere. Goodbye and good luck to Van. Who ever he is.

The other topic this week was the Obama to the children speech. Heloise may have influenced that debut because wrote specifically that Obama made teacher’s jobs more difficult with his word choice. He was dissing authority in a most public way. And I called him out on it. I said he made my freaking job harder.  Is he trying to make amends with his talk to the children?

Arnel Pineda sings new life into Journey

Rock singer Arnel Pineda is on. He is the lead singer for Journey. He was living in the Philipines when he got the call. He is Philipino. The group  have a hit song Don’t stop Believing. I am not a rock music fan per se but that song I do like. Their new album is Revelation. I can’t vouch for the whole thing. But every song he belted on the Early Show was vibrant and clear. He woke up the audience.

I might have to check it out. THe latest album is Don’t Walk Away.

The Death of a President by William Manchester–updated

I have a good memory, a very good memory. While writing the blog about Jackie gracing the cover of Vanity Fair I wrote that I had the book it was based on somewhere around the house. I thought I misspoke.

I went to my many bookcases in the house which is almost a library but did not see the book. I kept searching the other rooms, other bookcases. Still did not find it. Then I pictured it in my mind: hmmm it’s an old paperback that I found either at a garage sale or at Half Price Books for a dollar or so. I saw the book and its condition clearly.

I went to the bottom shelf of a small bookcase in the bedroom and there it was just as I pictured it.  I read end, middle and beginning all in one night. I was vainly searching for the narrative about Jack and Jackie in Fort Worth, TX and their interactions. I could not find that but still could not stop reading. I finally had to just put the book down and go to bed. Believe me it is an oldie but very goody by British author William Manchester.

Just found this link which is the Vanity Fair article here. He was given an exclusive interview by Jackie because Jack had met him and liked his work. The family thought that they did not want any books or accounts written of Jack’s last days because it was too painful. When they realized people were going to fill up the trough with books about Jack’s life, death and looks they decided to go with Manchester as family friend.

As a biographer, he chose as subjects the Rockefellers, the Krupp arms-making family, Douglas MacArthur and Churchill. His three works on John F. Kennedy — whom the author met while both were recovering from war injuries — brought him critical renown, financial security and best-seller status.A frequent guest of the Kennedy family at Hyannis Port, Mass., Mr. Manchester won access to the president and his top advisers and used his insider status to chronicle the Camelot years and beyond. Some viewed him as too close to the family, writing adoringly of the president in his books “Portrait of a President: John F. Kennedy in Profile” (1962) and “One Brief Shining Moment” (1983).

source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8180-2004Jun1.html

Bill told too much and this was the crux of Jackie’s angst. She called the book fascinating. He had to disavow that he got permission from her or Bobby to write all that he did write. And write he does. There are no writers or dramatists like the British (I know he was American born, but writes like the best Brit I’ve ever read and he’s Anglo-Saxon). That is their niche and forte. The Warren Report was 888 pages. Ironically my first Internet name was netemara888. Death is nearly a thousand pages in the paperback form.

It may have been longer in hardback. You can’t put the book down. I am surprised that there have been no movies based on this book. It is stunning. Jackie called it fascinating I call it stunning. The language, the word choice, the narratives of their journey defy description. You have to read it. You won’t be able to put it down. What William DID write is the source of Jackie’s bitter battle and the focus of the Vanity Fair article–see above link — set to come out in Sept for October issue.

Manchester, the master, begins the book by stalking the reader with a myth. The myth that the gods demand a sacrifice for the coming year. The people oblige by slaying their favorite son. Blood must be shed and so it was.

Update: This post is not exactly a review of the book. I have since found my book and read much of it. I’ve had to step back and try to read it objectively. That’s hard because the subject is so close.

In case anyone is interested in buying a copy: I have perused Amazon and other sites to see the going rate for this book. At Amazon it ranges from 75 – 200 dollars even for the paperback.

But I found it cheaper if you just Google the title by itself, you will find sellers. The writing and the story of this book are superb. My aunt who is ten years older recalls the advent of the book. She said that Bill Manchester was highly regarded as an author and bowed down to when the book reached the public. It was a big deal. I am sure he suffered as all writers do to write and complete this oeuvre.

Here is an offering from page 605 of my copy. The setting is the WH after Dallas. Jackie and Bobby refused to leave Dallas without JFK’s remains. The coffin, so they thought, had been badly damaged and Bobby asked for a new one to be purchased in Dallas. One was bought and it was expensive but plain. Buying a casket, viewing and open casket were subjects that had to be broached. Jackie did not want to give in.

“I want the coffin closed so badly. You can’t have it open.”

He disagreed. “It can’t be done Jackie. Everybody wants to se a Head of State.”

“I don’t care. It’s the most awful, morbid thing; they have to remember Jack alive.”

The Attorney General came back, and the three of them perched where they would go — he on top of the refrigerator, McNamara on the sink, Jackie on the floor. She said again that she couldn’t stand the idea of what undertakers called ‘viewing the remains.’ Bob Kennedy like Bob McNamara, said that this was an exceptional  situation…eventually she lapsed into silence–as she put it, ‘I just sort of accepted that with such misery.’ She didn’t really accept it. It was clear that she felt something precious to her was at stake. Womanlike, she was waiting.

His valet dressed him one final time and makeup was applied by the dreaded undertaker. The shirt had JFK embroidered on the cuffs. However, he did not like the show and would always tuck the matching handkerchief so that the initials did not show. His valet did same for the last time.

Austin the new home of Autism: Dr. Wakefield Drama

Is Britain, now Austin Texas own Dr. Wakefield a fraud? Did he perpetrate a fraud on the public by putting out there that autism was linked to MMR vaccines?

His research was published by The Lancet which is a prestigious journal. But according to Dateline that journal regrets publishing the study. The study was not independent it was paid for and solicited. Doc is a fraud and he fooled a lot of people.

The latest research shows a genetic link for autism. I would always suspect genetics and DNA long before any tiny amount of mercury causing changes in bowels leading to brain changes leading to a shut down in emotions. That chain of command does not hold up to medical scrutiny.

Dr. Wakefield in the wake of the controversy that he is just plain wrong has left Great Britain and moved to well Texas, Austin. Austin is actually the home of alternative medicine and he has started Thoughtful House. Sounds stupid to me.

I am not sure why Bobby Kennedy Jr. bought what this guy was selling. I think that he was led by the pitch and just wanted to think that something that is not GREEN could cause all those emotional and mental breakdowns in children. They are both wrong. They should have taken a pinch of salt with that pinch of the needle.

Did Demi Do It?

If a woman who does not have to work for a living does not look at least ten years younger than her age then she is doing something wrong.

Demi is 46 and there is no reason in the world that she should not look 35 or younger. She does look like she is in her 30s, but did she earn it honestly? She denies ever, ever having any plastic surgery. Sound familiar? Everyone knows she got some kind of breast implants. Now is that not plastic surgery?

She may not have done anything more than good maintenance on her face and figure and it shows. Did she do it? Who knows.

Georgia Killings–Dugard Kidnapping–updated

This has been a very bad week for law enforcement. They ignored the warning signs in the Dugard case and now they are totally baffled about the black family killed in Georgia. I want to know: did this white man Guy Heinze jr. kill 8 black people? It seems that Guy killed his dad as well. Since cops ain’t saying I’m speculating that it was a mixed race group or all white and of German ancestry based on the names involved.

They have arrested Heinze for the murders as I’ve wondered. No one is saying not even the cops.

But the Phillip D. neighbors are saying plenty. Was Dugard being made to prostitute for this couple? The neighbors said that they heard loud partying going on and men in the yard. What?

A white neighbor was interviewed who may not have reported this to the cops like the other families did. He was suspicious when he saw partying going on in the backyard. The state is investigating what happened with the social workers and the parole officers. We know that they don’t make as much money as the Wall Street bloodsuckers but who does? Is that an excuse for ignoring reports of wrongdoing? I don’t think so.

ET showed the aerial view of the campground. I tried to find it but could not find a clean web site. You can google around for it. But it is out there. There was even a place where Jaycee gave birth to the two children.

Barack is getting boring–have you noticed?

Electing a new president is fun, but listening to their pitch is boring. Am I right? I mean after Bush was elected I did not want to hear anything he had to say. I thought it was because I did not like Bush. But Bush got boring, let’s face it way too early in his presidency. Now Barack, now Obama, now President is getting boring. And once again I voted for the winner, each and every time. So that is not the problem.

The problem is that presidents are well, boring. Does not matter who they are or what color. I can’t watch Obama either for the same reason I could not watch Bush. He’s boring, the issues are boring, the torture and the war thing are painful to watch. I tune out and tune into anything but the president.

I think Obama must have a sense of the ennui setting in us adults and common folk. So the latest buzz on conservative talk radio is that he is going to bore the school kids. Mr. President you have already done teachers a disservice by dissing the cop with your awkward comments. Now you are asking principals to have the students tune in while you talk to them on the TV about “helping me” ? Helping you do what exactly? I don’t get it. Rush or Sean said that no other president has every asked or demanded that students from K-12 listen to his addresses addressed at them. We teachers don’t need any more drudgery in our day. Thanks but no thanks Barack.

Do Blondes Have More Funds?

When you sit in a department meeting at your school or place of work–look around. What do you see? I see blondes. In Texas 95% of the public school teachers are white. Most of them are white women and most of them are blondes. I wondered then do blondes have more funds? Do they make more money than dark-haired people? We know that whites have more wealth and more net worth than blacks or browns.

But how much influence does hair color, therefore race play in the amount of money earned? I think there is a connection because studies have shown that people who are better looking are more likely to get hired because they are believed to be simply smarter than those who are less good looking.

I am good looking but I am not a blonde. I was accused of getting plum jobs because of my looks. I resent that but there is a grain of truth to it.

Jackie Graces the Oct 2009 Cover of Vanity Fair

Jackie O is fetching in yellow. She is also hoping to sell mags for Vanity Fair. The sale of magazines is sagging but the interest in Jackie hardly seems to be lagging.

ET reports tonight that the reason for the cover story was based on the bitter battle Jackie had with Manchester who wrote “Death of A President” in 1964 or so. I probably have that book around here somewhere. The deal is that the book went too far. It detailed more than Jackie thought was okay. It was published in 1967 and Jackie found it fascinating.

Frantic Murders, Frantic 911 call: Who killed this “black” Brunswick, Ga Family?

Here is the frantic 911 call made by Guy Heinze Jr. He was arrested but after he reported his whole family dead. The dead family is believed to have been African-American. No photos of the dead people have been released, i.e., not of murder scene but who they were.

The plot thickens because there is speculation that it was a drug deal gone bad and a bad dealer killed the whole family. That is just what they do. The names sound German Toller and Heinze, but black people might also have those names. They are not Hispanic names.

The police are keeping a tight lid on who the people are. They suspect everyone and anyone including the person who reported the murders. Heinz was white from the photo. But he said that these people are his family. He does not look biracial so it may have been a blended family.

Illumination is the Biblical word

St. Thomas Aquinas on St. Paul is a heavy way to start a journey on illumination. But that is the goal for the soul.

I listen on the radio, for now, to a teacher who teaches straight from the Bible. And today he was speaking of illumination. I know that word. I’ve experienced it when I wrote “Walking in the light” after I had the experience.

It is a good word. One that Patajali uses and expounds on greatly in “The Light of the Soul.” The light from the Spirit does not get hot, does not burn and does not give heat…only light. It fills the head or the head chakra. But many say that the whole body becomes full of light.

I wish I had time to really study St. Paul in depth, but I don’t. But the next best thing is to listen, meditate and study with those who do.

Adolf Hitler’s past lives

I am not sure that people are interested in Hitler as a man with a past, life that is, many in fact. He also had a future life, i.e., after Hitler. I have disguised his identify in my book Dinner With DaVinci.

If there is interest I may put up excerpts from it. He had a past, present and future just like the rest of us.

They Killed them at Chelmo

If you have been watching all the JFK and Teddy specials then you might have noticed that they recount how Jack was not only a speed reader but an avoricious one. I once wrote a poem in which I called myself a book. Books were my friend along with soft serve ice cream and they still are.

It is all about the book. Books are endangered because of the Internet and because of individual economies.

The Germans fooled the Jews with pretend generousity. They told them that they were going to work and to areas where they could live. They had to transport them there first. One of the first places of transport was to a place seldom heard of Chelmo. It was where there were gas vans set up waiting. That’s how it started. In the Years of Extermination the author names each chapter with a date.

There are no real descriptions of atrocities in terms of how they killed people they planned to kill. Germans planned not only to kill jews but also Gypsies and the mentally retarded.

This time in German history has a special meaning for me because as jack I spent time in Germany just when Hitler was getting started. Hitler is well known to the Masters. I have traced his lives back to the Middle Ages in France. He was pushing pograms back then as a monk, a Catholic monk no less. I have traced him to his present life. What does that mean? It means that the jews went mostly in cooperation with their destroyers. Yes, there were a few who resisted but that is only a small number. It means that it was woven into history even before it became history. Because history is about patterns. That is something that I watch closely.

Hitler blamed the wars on the jews and kept predicting that if there is one more war, meaning WWII that he was going to eliminate all the Jews in Europe. He started the war and then blamed the Jews for it! How convenient.

How does American history hold up to the scrutiny of the world and what do with those who have changed the face of this country. The jobs have been taken by many immigrants. The low paying jobs. But in Hitler’s German the Jews had taken mostly the middle class and upper class positions. They were very wealthy. The Jews had most of the money of Germany, the beautiful estates and homes and the huge and successful businesses. Jews are smart and hard working. They died for it. But they also died for the lack of assimilation into the culture.

Jews were teachers too. They killed the teachers right off. Then they went after the businesses next. What were they thinking? The Jews doubted their intuition. They doubted that the Germans meant to kill them off. They were wrong.

The lack of jobs and the poor economy of Europe was the backdrop for taking away what the Jews had and giving it to the regular Germans. It was a true case of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. Everything else was a sideshow. But how do you take a persons goods and money and leave them without an outcry? The Germans had a solution for this it was the boxcar and the vans and finally the crematoriums and the showers that they built.

It was a burden for the German soldiers to kill all these people without nervous breakdowns. The early days were spent figuring out how to kill a lot of people without destroying mentally the people who were doing the killing. Sanitize it and it will go away.

Famous Fridays: Uncle Teddy memorial at JFK library

He did not die on Friday, but that is not the reason I call it Famous Fridays. It is because JFK died on Friday. But many people have services on Friday anyway. Tonight is Ted’s night. And Duval Patrick who came from the southside of Chicago…shoutout…is now governor of Mass. but he is not very popular. Obama will talk at the funeral. I think Obama will only serve one time. I wanted to see him elected. I can’t see anyone really who should be president. I think the whole system stinks. I digress.

Happy Famous Friday.

We’ve been warned–wolves put in charge of counting health care sheep

Sen Dodd bears watching There are many links online about how the wolves in the senate have been put in charge of counting the health care sheep. Senator Dodd is the head wolf in charge. He and his wife have totally enriched themselves. We can only hope that he dies soon too. Kennedy was also in the pockets of the insurance industry…don’t kid yourselves.

The elites have everyone in their pockets and those same pockets are filled with ill gotten cash. I can’t even listen to Dodd eulogize Teddy. He got like no freakin Iowa votes and he was voted off the primaries!

Dodd sucks.

Official Coroner report: Propofol Kills Michael Jackson WTF–We KNOW!

Thank goodness that the Jackson family did not buy the okie doke that the police were trying to dish out about MJ that this was not homocide. We knew, we know he died from a drug overdose. We told you day one. Now it is official. Can you believe it?

Murray had already been a drug pusher for MJ, not a doctor. He should go to jail along with the white doctors who did the same thing.

Jaycee Dugard had a bad case of: Cops, Social workers and Parole Officers–updated x2

People has Jaycee Dugard on its cover. She looks like she did when she was a girl. Hell, she never went outside! And only did work as a printer or something like that. She is alive and looks well.

Who is policing the police in this country? It really seems like if you are white you can literally get away with rape, murder and kidnapping.

Jaycee is not your girl next door, wait, she was next door for 18 years. And in a side-by-side comparison between young Jaycee and currently, she looks normal. Her life was however anything but normal. And the sad thing is that her caring non-white neighbors tried to alert the cops about “weird Phil” whom they stayed away from.

Neighbors TOLD cops that there were kids living in the backyard. But the local sheriff did not believe anything told to them by black people. The parole officers did not check what the white folks were doing! WTF!

This is the kind of total public employee work ethic that makes you mad as hell. The babies slept in his arms every single night! That’s not normal…hello. A crazy, sick white man got away with murder and rape and serial murders because when black folks and brown folks told them that they thought something was wrong with the white neighbors. No one raise an eyebrow or a finger.

How did he get captured? A young officer noticed the children of Jaycee fathered by her captor were pale and acting robotically. They were with their dad while he was sharing his new-found religious fervor and was passing out flyers at Berkeley and had the kids with him! WTF is all I can say.

The warnings and the paid personnel, how can they sleep, missed the boat and the camp grounds right under their noses. In defense of California you gotta know that because of all the illegal aliens there–they too will set up camp grounds in large backyards. So in that sense his backyard may not have looked so differently. But when people tell you that a sex pervert and convicted sex offender is acting more strange than usual can’t they at least take a looksee? I don’t think so.

Why is one found white girl such big new?

I don’t know and don’t give a shit. Only seems that if you ain’t Obama you ain’t nobody and if your hair ain’t blond you really don’t count. They keep telling this news about some girl that was found after 18 years. Why: because she was held captive in the backyard by some other freaking crazy white people. More crazy white people stories. Enough already.

“Jews Can’t Whisper” Biracial comedian blasts Jewish inlaws with barbs

Sunda is funny. Black comedians make me laugh. I laughed all the way through this. Unlike that what’s his unfunny face at night? In fact all the white funny faces at night are NOT funny. Except for Jon Stewart. That’s one funny Jew. I wonder if he will have a monologue about this woman. The video is funny and she’s pretty and biracial.

Flashforward 9.24.09

I guess the networks ar stepping into my world. I flashforward all the time. I’ve jumped as far ahead as 15 years and then into the next birth. It’s just one step away. TIme is one dimensional. That is, past present and future are all in the same moment in time, then there is no time once this is realized. That’s why I tell people I don’t think or believe something but I know it.

I know it like I know my name. They are doing the commercial for the new show over and over again. The flashforward is closely related to the truth of rebirth. If there were no rebirth there would be no past, present and future. Hello. People glibly say that we live only once. If that were true time and the world would have stopped a long time ago. Will it stop in 2012 as some mystics have predicted?

The stars are lining up and they are not in retrograde. The stars are station and direct. What does that mean in astrology? Actually it means that there will be great disturbances on earth such as quakes and volcanoes that are more violent than ever recorded.  Ten years ago I was able to look through a telescope at a university and see how violent the solar spots and solar activity was that year. Now they are saying that the sun has stopped spotting! Who knew?

Actually, the masters control the sun, moon and stars or the heavens as well know it. Their comings and goings can set stuff out of balance or it looks that way. It is all about energy. I mean all about energy.

I spent a week in Boston and a day at the JFK Library

If there had been no JFK there would be no Bobby or Senator Ted Kennedy. So save your comparisons. I am glad to hear that Ted was laying in repose in the library on the Boston harbor he helped to build.

The family wanted the library at Harvard. But they said no because it would be too much traffic. So they realized that Jack loved the sea and built the library overlooking the water. I took a bunch of photos and posted them at the Politikos. But I will have to post them here one day when I have time. The library is just beautiful. Ted’s body is in the foyer which looks like the inside of the pyramid at the Louvre in Paris where you see the girders and the glass looking up into the sky and across the sea. I was there about two years ago. I stayed at the hostel on the south end of downtown. You can walk around freely at night in Boston.

I managed to have someone take a photo of me also in front of the president’s seal. Often when I am working in the yard I just get a strong feelings about Boston and miss it like I lived there all of my life. And the first time that my accent changed into a Bostonian one I had to stop myself.  Did I just say that I thought. Life is strange, truth is even stranger.

As for Bsston,  I’ve been there twice and walked all over the city for hours. There were no Kennedys when I visited the library but it is nice to know that they do visit there and are there doing a classy thing by greeting the people who have come to pay their respects and bid farewell to Ted.

His immediate family was in the room when he died. But I was in the room too. He was unable to speak. I was only able to go there by leaving my body during meditation. That was early Monday morning. I had the most peaceful feeling. I was telling someone not to be afraid and to just let go. Twelve hours later we hear the news. The news that I wanted to write for the last 5 days. I heard in my head that “Ted Kennedy has died” while listening to Rush Limbaugh. It was Eunice. But I thought it was Ted. I am so glad I had a chance to say goodbye to him and meet him when he was released from his body. I don’t do that for everybody, just family, royal family.

The Legacy of Ted Kennedy

Here’s a link which links the endorsement of Kennedy for Obama with the slights on JFK made by Hillary during the campaign. Oh boy, she messed up.

So, in a way you can say that Kennedy gave us Obama and Obama gave us change. Nothing was passed to Obama really. Obama is not the Camelot continued but metaphor to what is to come.

The children of Ted Kennedy: US Rep Patrick Kennedy represents Rhode Island. He would not be in a position to take up the mantle of Mass. Senator. Someone mentioned Bobby to replace Teddy. How’s that? Bobby Kennedy Jr. lives in upstate New York. He was thought to be waiting for his dad’s old seat to open up. Well, it has come and gone and Bobby did not run for it. The legacy is yet alive. It will continue because the Kennedys are not done yet. They are but in different bodies taking a break.

The 2500 pieces of  legislation that Kennedy is reponsible for are too many to name. He worked with Bush on No Child Left Behind. The problem with NCLB was simply that it was an unfunded mandate. I do disagree with Ted on how he handled illegal and legal immigration. He brought the northern Indians here from India and Obama can thank him for allowing men like his father to study, live and marry white women here in America. Obama owes the Kennedy family much.

Love and Advocacy for the Poor — Kennedy Legacy

Just where did that desire and service to the poor, women and children come from? It came from Jack’s lives before he was JFK. That seed of service was planted in past lives in small ways. They lived to him whom much is given much is expected. It was written for the Kennedy men. They lived it and grew into the role.

Jack began the crusade and Bobby tried to follow in his footsteps. But it was Teddy who lit the torch that lit the way for the voiceless as he saw them. Will health care for all come now?

Dominick Dunne Has Died at 83

Famous writer and author who covered the rich and famous has died after a long battle with cancer. He got started covering high profile crimes after his daughter whose name was Dominique Dunne was murdered and the preppy served only 3 years in prison. Dominick was mad as hell about it and wrote a piece for Vanity Fair (source of quote)

In 1980, Dunne moved back to New York and saw five of his novels become bestsellers. His books include The Two Mrs. Grenvilles (Crown, 1985), Fatal Charms (Crown, 1987), People Like Us (Crown, 1988), An Inconvenient Woman (Crown, 1990), A Season in Purgatory (Crown, 1993)—which was adapted for television as a four-hour CBS mini-series—and Another City, Not My Own (Crown, 1997). A collection of essays, Fatal Charms (Crown), was published in 1987, and his memoir, The Way We Lived Then: Recollections of a Well-Known Name Dropper (Crown), was published in 1999. Justice (Crown), a collection of articles that had appeared in Vanity Fair, was published in 2001. And his last book, Too Much Money: A Novel, is scheduled for publication in December 2009 by Random House

about the trial and the outcome of this crime. Dunne covered the OJ trial as well. Oddly enough Dunne did not start writing until he was 50. It was the third act for this writer.

This was a late career choice for Mr. Dunne. He was immediately offered to write for Vanity Fair. He later covered many famous people who killed or were killed. He covered the case of Michael Skakel and wrote a book about it.

Dunne had just finished a book just as E. Lynn Harris when he died. The cause of death for Dunne was bladder cancer. Harris died of undetected heart disease.

The last Kennedy Brother is gone

Would you believe that the brothers of my father’s family are also named jack, ted and bobby? True. They were born around the same time as the Kennedys well before they were a household name. So, this is pure kismet. They too have all passed. Now Ted is dead. Ted and jack were not as close as jack and Bobby but they were brothers nonetheless.

Lion of the Senate dies at 77

Yahoo videos of Ted Kennedy This is a series of videos about Ted Kennedy’s many accomplishments. He started meals on wheels, neighborhood health centers, ended the draft, and spent decades in the senate.

Edward Moore Kennedy dies at 77

I just wrote that Ted Kennedy was next after the death of another famous person last week. I was about to sit and meditate when something told me to check CNN. Breaking News: Senator Kennedy dead. The night before I had a beautiful meditation wherein I left my body and went to a place where I saw snow on the rooftops. I had such a peacful day. But last Friday I thought I would write again I felt Ted was about to leave his body.

I had that thought when I saw riding in a car. His mouth was open and not closed. That’s a sign.

He was dying you just knew when he did not attend the funeral of his sister Eunice. They died just days apart.

He was called the lion of the senate. He did more in government and many said did more harm to it with his liberal causes for those with less. He died late Tuesday night.

Ted was the last brother of President Kennedy and of Robert Kennedy. Health care was his main concern and he promised President Obama that he would be there for him. He really wanted to help push the health care legislation through. It was not to be. The Kennedy family will have many well wishers. On inauguration day he suffered a seizure and was taken away by ambulance.

RIP brother Ted. See you soon.

She looks like a dude to me

The sprinter looks like a dude to me. Her hairline screams young boy! Under 21. And yes he’s 18. When he turns 21 his hairline will change and he will be a man! Everybody is outraged because it is not happening behind closed doors. The new term is intersex. Can a woman be a woman and perform like a man? We will see the way the genitalia bounces.

The new tests show that the testosterone levels were high. Surprise! No woman can outrun other women by that much and not be a man. She had three times the amount of male hormone than a woman. Remember both sexes have both hormones but men have a higher level and women have a lower level.

The gender test could prove it. If she has the levels then she is taking drugs. Is she a superwoman with Turner’s syndrome XXX?  Not. They are fucking retarded! If this man were a super man would be in the SPED olympics and not the regular one. Semenya is her name. Is she an hermaphrodite or using enhancing drugs? Funny the word “semen” is in her name.  I think that’s a clue.

Tarantino Kills the Basterds!

This review by Lee Siegel is better than the damn basterds. The top top critics are panning the film as stupid and juvenile and confusion of the first order. But lesser star gazers are giving this shit a thumbs up! We don’t need kids any more confused than they already are about history.

The jews went to the slaughterhouses willingly and the Germans took them there with the help of the populace. Any twists and turns on that theme is heretical. Why make a Nazi newbie with this twist? For the sound of the cash register. In that way QT took a gamble and won…the basterd.

Murray Means Murder for MJ — I told you so

The Jackson family can just thank the bloggers for this thankless job of ferreting out who killed MJ. Cause we damn well know somebody killed him. He may have been weak and getting old and white and bald but he was not getting dead by himself. He had help. And we know that little devil helper was none other than Dr. Murray.

He made many phone calls that morning but it was not to 911. He made a 47-minute call that he did not tell the “turth” about.  In fact did not even mention the thing. They found it by digging through phone records. What did Heloise tell you? Murray whodunit…from day one.

What else is new? Murray DID indeed administer propofol and that was reckless and he left MJ’s bedside for an hour not TWO MINUTES as he claims. What’s more he gave him a whole bunch of other stuff. When that did not work he said “fuck it” and gave him the drug he claimed to be weaning him off: Propofol! I told you it would be Heath redux and a mix of drugs and that was spot on also.

Don’t mess with Heloise. Glad the Jacksons listened to reason. The cops good guys some but they are lazy people too. Gotta make em do  their job.

Tarantino kills his movie with horrible violence

How does one top killing a movie? Not sure but I hope this is the end of Road Tarantino.

Just read fab review from The Daily Beast and the short of it is that damn Tarantino director of Inglourios Basterds is one violent basterd who has killed his own movie with a splash in the pan. The movie and the violence are both horrible and gory as I warned U.

I am reading beaucoup Holocaust books and the Jews were killed for their liberalism that includes passivity and non violence.

So for them to come to this country and spike a huge spate of a violent cinema disgusts. Now non Jewish directors are cashing in on the sacred cow of pure gore for gore’s sake. I need to make a damn movie if this is all these fuckers are gonna do is waste money and time.

Model Murderer found hanging in Canada dead

CNN is reporting that Jenkins went to a hotel room in BC and hangs himself there. He had not been seen in days but a tip or a smell led police to his body. Did his wife’s over exposure and porn-star looks drive this guy over the edge?

He was a Peter Pan (real syndrome) probably who could not handle the stimulus sexually and went to violence as a outlet instead of creativity using his throat chakra. Too advanced. What an ugly way for his wife Jasmine to go. Hmmm they will be back.

Doctor Slots Don’t Open Up — Don’t count on health care going universal

I know from being a medical school candidate but not graduate of med school that the number of slots that are available in medical schools is not a closely guarded secret but keeps getting smaller every year.

Medical schools have been closed and the number of seats set so that mostly white males get in and stay in. No other country in the world makes this an elite club for white men. Murray graduated from Meharry Medical school a black medical school in Nashville. But the numbers are kept down so that the amount of money goes up for those who do graduate.

If this does not change and if preventive medicine and other forms of medicine are not included in the mix then we are spinning our wheels and wasting our time. As for nurses all the damn nurses I saw were from the Philipines. Few black women are going into nursing. This country is way off course in the medical field and universal health care. It is a rich man’s game mostly.

The Model Murder: Meets, Marries, Murders

Wow, just watched Nancy Grace to get some extra facts on this murder and one really stood out: They just met in March, got married in Vegas a few days later, got an annulment, then he murdered her last week. They were living in Las Vegas and just moved to an apt in Bueno Park CA when his jealousy, after a swanky stay in a Hilton in San Diego, was fired up to a pitch.

I have to put this also in the TV Trough because this guy was on the reality show Megan Wants to Marry a Millionaire. He is on the run now.

Breast implants are all numbered and can be traced back to the manufacturer and the doc and the patient who owned them. Since her fingers and teeth were taken and she was beat badly the only resort was to look at the serial number on the implants. Absenting that they would have had to just do a public call out to see who might have known the woman.

Jenkins had a sex addiction and was very wealthy and had problems with hitting women. The other thing that shook Nancy was the coast guard chase wherein he eluded them on a high speed chase. She said that was a first for her. The guy may be armed and dangerous with money and looking for plastic surgery. His dad is very wealthy and owns some kind of huge resort in the Honduras at Jenkins realty or something like that. They showed a pic of the place.

This guy is a model killer.

Kennedy Autograph for Barbara Streisand — six months before Dallas

Here is the archival photo of Kennedy and Streisand on May 14, 1963. She asked him outside of protocol for his autograph. She stuck it inside her bra and lost the paper with the autograph. Somebody must have picked it up. The photo is nice of the two. Our family has always had a deep love for Barbara’s music. It has kept me going many times when I wanted to give up as a single mother with no family to help.

This is an interesting note about the stars in JFK’s life. They chased him and he chased them.

Inglourious Basterds is super gory

Here is a review about what the Germans think. I was afraid of that…this movie is super gory and bloody. It sounds good but I can’t handle that. I was going to see it too. If I have to sit and not look at most of the movie what’s the point? This upsets me because movies have turned almost completely to blood and gore to sell.

Here’s the best review I’ve read. Tarantino took a gamble on the film and the basterd won.

Is This The Warhol Nude of Jackie?

Found this

We found this fuzzy photo with fur of Jackie on some strange Web site. If there is a Warhol nude it was taken before the days of photoshop. But since we are now in the days of photoshop could this pic have been shopped or shot of Jackie O?

We know the paparazzi are all over it. But why now? Where has it been? IMO I think it was taken on the French Riviera or near Greece on the Mediterranean. It has that sort of light. Also, the light seems to be striking in the same direction and the body looks about right from my memory of her. Yep, she was super slim always.

PS Jackie died on a Thursday of cancer at the age of 64.

Update: While it may be uncertain that this is the photo sent by Jackie to Andy, but the pic below that I took at the Modern is not in doubt. Today I was at the Modern and this is the Marilyn Monroe of Warhol. JFK loved them both.

Robert Novak dead at 78 of brain cancer

Brain cancer is more common and lethal in men. Robert Novak aka prince of darkness, a straight Jew, who converted to Catholicism 10 years ago. His conservative bend famous for the Plame outting for Bush has died of the disease. He was once a part of Crossfire with William Buckley. So he was either an undercover knee jerk lib or the real deal.

His last book included in title “prince of darkness” and I vividly recall his many talk panels.

Edward Moore Kennedy aka Ted will follow him shortly. Probably on a famous Friday.

Mad Men reads like a PBS series

Now that Mad Men has moved to AMC from HBO I can tune in or out. It is clearly and cleverly set in the early sixties. The sets are flawless recreations of the times complete with orange walls done in beautiful faux ala sponge.

I know because I had a yen for the look and decorated with same colors direct from the bright 60s.

What is not to love about the gorgeous Draper? He looks like a man and plays it close to the vest like a doting god of the bottom line for London Fog.

His travel companion who looks gay (to me) but claims to be married nervously trips up the down low lane with a swarthy elevator boy. Then the fire alarm halts further hotel action unseemly but sexy.

Draper plays the infidelity card too. Since we are in the mean 60s before Kennedy, King and Bobby are killed the road to implosion is yet unchartered and thus far no blacks are seen on stage. Enter the invisible men along side the mad men.

Stayed tuned for color.

“Consider the source” St. Paul

I have been in and out of churches seeking the gospel. Only the use of the supernatural word of God AKA the Bible will do for me. The churches were mostly unsatisfactory. I did like the way that Church of Christ ICC worked with the Bible. However they had clannish and cultish behaviors that bothered me. If I want to be in a cult I don’t have to change religions but I do have to change my behavior.

I’ve been called a heretic. Okay bring it. I’ve been called everything anyway. But what has satisfied me lately is that the religious radio talkers on 91.7 or 100.7 have really made me know that there are some churches out there who are dishing the real deal to the people who sit in the pews or listen from their cars.

St. Paul warned the people to consider the source of the spirit or news that they were considering to follow or believe it. It was strictly a religious enjoinder. For me nothing less than the Bible will do. That is the only source I consider when seeking a Bible based church.

Pat Hingle of Splendor in the Grass fame dies at 84

Pat Hingle starred in one of my favorite movies of all times “Splendor in the Grass” and Pat Hingle the father of the Warren Beatty character made it memorable. He died back on January 3, 2009, a Saturday, this year. But his passing is nonetheless worth noting here on Famous Fridays.

John Hughes dead at 59

John Hughes is a mega star. He died on a Thursday, August 6, 2009. He is most known as

…an American film director, producer and writer, responsible for some of the most successful comedy films of the 1980s and 1990s, including National Lampoon’s Vacation, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Uncle Buck, Home Alone and its sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.  Hollywood memoir

Hughes died on August 6, 2009, from a heart attack on a Thursday but he merits Famous Fridays for sure. Notice a trend that when people reach fame and really mega-star status it shortens their lives or those around them. This is also in accord with the Laws of Rebirth. Why? Because families share karmas which includes money, jobs, fame, marriage, talents, success. In other words some in the family will succeed and others will sacrifice some part of their lives toward that success. The Kennedy family is probably the best example. No one understands this because only the masters know karmas inner workings.

Daniel Shuler — Jews Ain’t Perfect — Or why are Americans all Alcoholics?

Daniel Shuler is lying for his wife. Science and toxicology reports don’t lie to the tune of 10 drinks and mary jane’s. Diane Shuler killed herself, her child, 3 nieces and 3 men in the SUV she hit head on. I am watching him talk to Nightline. He should take “perfect” out of his vocabulary. Jews have this problem wherein they think they are perfect. I’ve not seen in so prominent in any other race. Anglo Saxons see superiority but not perfection. They are a bit more honest.

The family of the men killed ain’t buying that this was wrongful death and manslaughter. They should sue the Shuler family for every dime they have. Diane is not Jewish but her husband is and he is living with the guilt now that Jews and non-Jewish whites are not perfect even when they are married to Jews.

Daniel said of wife “she was a perfect wife…” Yada, yada yada. Tell it to the jury that will find for the dead men.

The alcoholism epidemic among middle and lower class whites is so bad based on my observations that I think they need to clean house. I wanted to write something with drunkards in the headline. Because workers I’ve hired and fired have come to work drunk, sneak off and drink and fuck up everything they touch. That is the legacy of perfection Daniel. Not. Now Diane Shuler has fucked up everything she has touched. She will return and have to pay for the pain she has caused.

Whites will thank Obama for the new reforms because maybe some of them will get help. I think that America needs to come clean with its alcohol problems. It is epidemic and it is a silent killer until people like Diane Shuler get behind the wheel. I was married to a bipolar alcoholic and drug addict who has finally recovered. He tried to kill me in the car by driving for fun 100 mph down a city street. Only God kept a car from the intersection or I would not be writing this.

Seriously, blacks have a whole bunch of problems namely poverty but whites have a poverty of the spirit that drags them gleefully to the spirit found in the bottle.

Les Paul dies at 94

If you don’t know the name and the fame then you don’t know Les. Eunice was buried and eulogized this Friday, Aug 14 but Les Paul died on Famous Fridays of pnuemonia. In a Yahoo newslink the details of his guitar made by Gibson pioneered and called the Les Paul was detailed.

Paul was so bad ass he was playing guitar instead of cops and robbers. Played the electric strings he created in 1924 on stage.

I did not know Paul personally but did know enuf bout sounds to know immediately that this Famous Friday a light in music heaven was lit when old Les burnt out. See ya next time buddy.

Back AND Black–Reborn Kennedys and Kin

My family made me believe in rebirth. I looked at them, talked to them and knew that we were here for the millionth time.The list is long and getting longer. Here is my latest count of the Kennedy and kin who have been reborn back and black.

Let me begin with myself since I am the head investigator in this rebirth mystery. A mystery which I have mostly unraveled in my book Dinner With daVinci.

John F. Kennedy, President — the masters make  the laws of rebirth. They foll0w them but often return “disguised” as to have a normal life. I occupied two bodies at once. The soul was split in two. This is a documented Buddhist belief.  My dreams also bear out the soul split. My research found that I called it soul splitting when experienced. Not sure what the Buddhist call it. This is rare. The rule is that dying while young by accident the person can chose race, sex and time to return. I had a ten-year gap wherein I occupied two bodies.

Robert F. Kennedy ( not black but Irish and Italian)–Returned as the laws permit looking nearly identical to his former beautiful self.

Joseph P. Kennedy (woman and black)–after a long normal life the person often returns in  the opposite sex body. Race can change too.

Joseph P. Kennedy Jr (my brother both lives and black) — died in a plane crash so the laws of rebirth dictate that the person can return much as they were in the previous life as he did.

John Kennedy Jr. (returned black, my grandson and male) This is the first time that I have publicly revealed the return of John John. I was not looking for him but he was looking for me and he found us.

Kathleen Kick Kennedy (my sister both lives and black)

Carolyn and Lauren Bassette (this is yet unconfirmed) These twins who died with John Jr. I believe have returned as multi racial to my family and returned as female twins. This would be in keeping with the laws of rebirth. Interesting that they have all returned and are about the same age. A long gap in between births there for advanced souls.

Rules of rebirth applied in that she too returned looking the same as she did as Kick. If she gets lost in a crowd of white women you would be hard pressed to pick her out, although she is “black.”

Anne Brannack Skakel (black and a woman mother to Ethel Kennedy) She and her husband. Related to Anne Skakel is Thomas Merton. He returned as my son and married the reborn Anne because they had been married and or close friends in the past life preceeding this one. His life of apotheosis was that of Abe Lincoln aka Ace Tom Merton.

George Skakel (my sister in this life but brother in other lives “Jillsy” aka Josey)

George Skakel Jr. (mother and son reunited)

Last but not least: Marilyn Monroe — returned looking just as she did when Norma Jean Baker. We are related in this life just as in former ones, except when she was MM. We are joined spiritually. Where I go she goes.

The Skakels x 3: were killed in plane crashes. Anne and George killed in a plane crash directly after refueling. They refueled in Okalahoma but were headed for Calfornia because they had lucrative real estate deals there. When one dies young especially in an accident the laws of rebirth dictate that you may return the same sex or change sexes. Race can change. But a multi racial background will be given or the person will be biracial.

What the Chuck?

We all know that the profits from big pharma are obscene. Without missing a step or batting an eye: the drug companies are stealing from people to pay pharma. The cost of drugs are as high as eagle shit. Reciting chapter and verse, singing from the same hymnal is easy. We know the words by heart. The drug companies will get paid. The drug companies AKA big pharma will have their way with the sick patients who need, or think they need hundreds of pills yearly to stave off sickness and death.

American health care is built on what’s called allopathic medicine. It is the opposite of preventive medicine or care. It means that the symptoms are treated, the pain is ameliorated or alleviated. It means that you buy some time in your busy life to keep going despite the pain and the infirmity. The medicine of the east is Ayurveda medicine. There is osteopathic medicine or the dreaded DO. There is napropathic med, there is naturopathic, there are nurse practitioners, there are midwives, there are nurses of all stripes and colors. Then there are the medicines that the docs they work for push. We need–they push.

Can Obamacare survive the revenge of the pharmas? I don’t think so. Could Obamacare reinvent the wheel and start from scratch a new way home? I think so. The power and lobby of the drug industry along with shaken doctor syndrome will be what drives the nail in the Obamacare coffers.

Many Bids, One Buyer

Michael Jackson the movie coming to a theater near you. There were many bids one buyer for MJ movie rights based on the footage of his last and final rehersal. They should call it the “The Last Curtain Call.” But no matter. Purchased for like 50 million dollars Sony studios. I read that there were going to be about 10 movies made from the footage because there is so much of it or because so many other companies bought into the rights.

From Soulbounce.comsource

Sony Entertainment has paid upwards of $60 million to both the estate of Michael Jackson and AEG Live for access to more than 80 hours of behind the scenes footage of MJ’s This Is It rehearsals, to be turned into a movie that will hit theaters on October 30th. Kenny Ortega, of “High School Musical” fame, will carry on as director of the film, which will keep the title This Is It, as he was also slated to direct the concert series.

But the last count was one movie from one studio re one rehersal. It should be in theaters in October or November just in time to be counted for an Oscar.

I’ll tell more when I know more.

Eunice the moral compass to the Kennedy Clan

Eunice Kennedy Shriver Dead at 88

Early this morning while meditating I felt the urge to check CNN and my blackberry. I felt that Eunice’s death was imminent. It was. I thought she would last until Friday. But she was near death this past Friday. No matter the sister of John F. Kennedy, Ted Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy and the other Kennedy women, has died at the age of 88.

She took ill this past Friday and was listed in critical condition. Most of the Kennedy clan were called to her side. She is the mother of Maria Shriver. I put her death in Famous Fridays even though she did not die exactly on Friday. But the point is not the day but the life.

Famous Fridays: Eunice Kennedy Shriver Dies

Eunice Kennedy Dies This link has a biography and many other photos. She was 88 years old. Will she be reborn into our family? Not sure, not necessary. But many Kennedys have returned as African Americans. Believe it.

Final episode The Bachelorette — Ed pops the Q

So I cheated a bit. I was in San Francisco at a hotel who was rewiring its cable and there were only four channels and the Bachelorette is on there at 5:00 pm. But I had it saved as a dvr and just watched it.

Parents of Jillian seemed happily married. Her mom was obese and so was her dad. Does not bode well for Jillian and her sister. Her sister was funny looking but Jillian is cute.

When Tiptyn was on it was painfully clear that she was not going to chose him. I could barely watch that part it was so awkward despite her talking it up. Then there was Ed. He was delightful and you could tell it was real.

Reid makes a surprise entrance to ask for her hand. She really liked Reid I think better than Tiptyn! But it was too late the die was cast in favor of Ed.

Enter Tiptyn she dumps him nicely. He seems to not even mind. He has other plans. Word is that he is the next bachelor. I don’t really like his looks. I did at first but he looks too Eastern European for my taste.

Anyway, Enter Ed. Ed is the man. The man with the huge pear shaped solitaire. They  tell each other how much they love each other. Jillian used the word “madly” and could barely contain not telling him during the show. I knew it for weeks already.

Heloise wrote after Ed departed “Hold on, Ed’s coming…back” damn I’m good. Not only did Ed return as predicted but he was “the one.”

Embrace Your Inner Hitler

Or Obamacare is not the new Nazi.

If Martians landed on earth and were invisible what would they do? I think that they would find Palin and the right wing talking heads a delicacy. Martians would devour the wingnuts with mustard and great relish. They might burp or hiccup occasionally but would smack their lips and lick their fingers at the greasy delight of Palin and her ilk at the smorgasbord of American life.

They would not be looking for Obama AKA little Hitler or the dem wingnuts. Why, because they would already be gone on the mother ship that the right nuts refused to board out of fear for their lives. That’s funny.

So, while the deaf lead the dead party of the GOP seeking the Hitler out there…we know that there is a little inner Hitler in all of us.

I know because I discovered him living and breathing and reborn in Chicago as a black man who tried to enter politics but unsuccessfully this time. Our political paths crossed a while back. I won’t reveal his ID except to say it ain’t Obama and he is not related to them by blood. But just like Obama traced my political path he too took steps through the reborn Hitler. So what? We all come back to the earth only to leave it once again. So stop seeking Hitler, just embrace him because he is closer than you think.

And if you keep looking over your shoulders the Martians are gonna get you…boo!

The Bible Predicts that Muslims and Mexicans would change continents

UK worried about Muslim pop growing but there is more to it than that.

It is no accident that any country that is south of the EU and of Canada and The USA are much poorer than their northern counterparts. These are the terms that the Bible puts the demise of richer northern countries that would be invaded by peoples from their southern borders. I am paraphrasing here.

Muslims are N. Africans and Mexicans are a race apart but both have the big family and baby factory thing in common. They will outnumber whites here and across the pond in the next 20 years. Then people will homogenize again, but that will take time.

The number #1 reason that these groups have less income and fewer opps? Language or lack of it. When their new country’s language is NOT their first language the schooling and the jobs suffer.

JFK died on a Friday that infamous day in November. This year I’ve noted that many of the famous people who have died have also died on Venus day aka Friday, or almost on Friday. Anyway, it will be for famous people who die on or near Friday.

Julie & Julia — review

As a student of linguistics and film reviews I suggest to you that there was a whole lot a cheating going on in this film. But it was fun. I don’t mean spouses I mean with the lingo-blingo–just sayin’.

I laughed like the comedy was British, the sex was French and the film foreign. Wow that good for an American recipe. Nora Ephron left the cookbook at home and brought it with some honest story-telling. I mean it’s not life changing but damn good.

I do take exception to the dialogue. Because even in a comedy the actor’s lines should be true to the times. They should reflect the genre and the idioms used by the classes in certain countries. The words should suit the film like an expensive kid glove. However this flaw was big fun.

I have to mention it because it is my job is to keep em honest. This film has blog-speak splashed all over it. I mean Streep has Heloise-speak dripping off her hands. Is that a film flaw?? I don’t think so. Because I could watch this one again.

IMO, the film also has Oscar written all over it. Amy Adams is the gourmets’ gourmet.

Throughout you too will wonder aloud: how the hell did they enlarge Streep so?

You don’t have to love France or cooking to get this well-made film. I’m jealous. The transitions were clever and flawless between the women and the time gap. See it, dream it, but don’t miss it.

Hating the Homeless a hate crime?

This post from the New York Times is timely. When in Santa Monica it was unbelievable with the homeless people. I hate homeless people but since I practice harmlessness I would not harm them only run the fuck away from them. Yes, one tried to follow me on the beach in Santa Monica. I waited for a few people and then ran up the stairs with them. Did you know that Santa Monica (the rich city with stars etc) is really a haven and home for the homeless? Yes, the city rich folks encourage them to live there by feeding them!

They are scary too, hell. Homeless are not innocents. Here’s the link from NYT.

So You think you can dance–Winner

Excuse my lateness but entre vacation and remodel I have not had a chance to watch the finale of SYTYCD. I was a dancer in a past life and the dance still enthrall.

Jeanine the beautiful won the contest. She is goregeous and can dance.

But here’s my blog bout it : Just watched Brandon and Jeanine dance the pase doble and all I can say is damn, damn. It was perfect. The white guy just got voted off after they showed that dance with the couple dancing the pase doble in all black. Wow fabulous dance and entertainment. I also got to see and hear Jai Ho. And after sharing part of my vacation with Indian friends it sends chills up my back.

The winner is down then to Brandon and Jeanine where the execution of the dance is damn, wow flawless. He is one bad ass dancer. If he doesn’t win I won’t know why. More to come…still watching…the had record breaking votes this season.

These were the best dancers ever. They had one bad night toward the end of the competition. The last show I followed and blogged from this series was really something too. A woman won, a black woman, biracial maybe forgot her name. But she was the best. What happens to dancers when they win this thing? I think they win money but does it give them careers? One could become a choreographer like Debbie Allen and Paula Abdul. But that comes later. God, I love dance as an art form.

Obama Walks on Water(gate)

I came up with this when I was supposed to be meditating. Obama is not in meltdown mode but some of his prize possessions are coming under increased scrutiny.

Heloise sees a trend happening here. Not of a dictator but of an insecure leader who steps or walks on Watergate and not know it. Did Nixon know what he did would cause his exit and demise? I don’t think so.

The health care brouhaha is bad, it is gonna get worse. Could this be the dream I had before Obama was elected? I saw doctors being killed wholesale and at the same time I saw that the government was healing sick people! But with the insanity happening now I am beginning to see the meaning of the dreams, actually two different ones, but they were of the same theme–health and wealth.

What other country can a doctor work wherein he can become vastly wealthy? I know lawyers make millions more but much of that comes from soaking doctors in lawsuit. Tort reform is one area that Obama could clean up the mess that is the health care system. But no he is not touching torts.

I will bet money that America is the ONLY place in the world where a man like Murray can think that the sky’s the limit on his earnings and buy huge homes all over the country. He came from poverty shit in Grenada and ends up killing Michael Jackson–WTF? I digress. I should have been a talk show host.

This is gonna get really ugly before it gets better. My belief is this the white majority of this country has had the best money can buy and they had the money to buy it. Yes, minority groups and illegal aliens have also been given emergency care that was soaked up by the hospitals and governments. But the saturation point is here. This country does not want to go down the socialist lane but if we keep up the capitalist crunch there will soon be only those with jobs and money and legal health care getting any care in this rich country of ours. Why because hospitals and banks will go the same way as they have gone in California–bust and busted because of the groaning weight of people who have not the money to pay and those who ABUSE the system. Game the hospitals and emergency rooms.

Socialized medicine? Perish the thought. That has already happened when the PPO and the HMO stuff was born back in the 1980s and 90s. It is already here. But what happened is that we kept everything else. I’ve worked in the health care industry and the waste just on medical files is huge. It is just a big conglomerate with lots of jobs and many of them doing nothing.

Haste makes waste, but waste makes jobs.

Another among Kennedy Clan Critically Ill

I was actually expecting to hear that Ted Kennedy died. Because my hearing is dizzy too. Instead it might be Eunice Kennedy honored among the dead at the next Famous Fridays. She has suffered a series of strokes in the past year and been downhill ever since.

I quite forgot that the Eunice was alive. Last saw her on Oprah with her daughter Maria about a book for moms and daughters Maria wrote. It was Eunice whom Obama called when he made the bowling remark about special olympics. So disingenuous of him. He and Michelle had better reign in their comments. While in office many famous people are going to die including Nelson Mandela to name one. BTW I have been 100 percent right in the MJ manslaughter situation. I digress. Many Kennedys are gathered as we speak at the expectation Eunice is next. She was the best sister in the world, next to Kick of course.
Eunice could well be the next death on Famous Friday. Will update prn.

WTF? Crazy White man kills 3 at aerobic class

This is really one for WTF Friday. I think all this gun killing is terrorism pure and simple. The dude said he could not get a date so he killed up a bunch of women. It may not be political to you but it was political to him. He wanted to show the world he was somebody. What a prick. No wonder he couldn’t get any and didn’t want to pay for it either. Cheap bastard.

His name sounded Italian but he looked wierded out to me. He was just plain crazy. He had no country, no girl and no sense. That don’t make no sense.

Seraphine (reel short takes)

It seems Heloise had to go all the way to San Francisco to see this wonderful film.

The movie is Seraphine and it may not be coming to a theater near you because it is French, artsy and long on minutes and short on sex and drugs.

But I loved it. It is so gorgeous to look at. The film is a  true tale about a dowdy French woman who hails from the lower classes and makes it big time with her paintings after being discovered by a gay German art critic just before WWI.

He finds her, then has to make a mad dash out of town because the Germans are coming, the Germans are coming! Her life becomes more shabby than it was before they met. He returns and they find each other. Her fame rockets to the stars under his tutelage. However, no one warned the French about the very American depression that was only worldwide.

Her fame, fortune and sanity do not last long. It goes the way of greatness down the tubes and she fast follows. Loved this damn movie.

Another Bitch, Another Book

First Bitch Ann Coulter was not on Lenin’s show. But the new second Bitch was there.

Just spent the day painting and listening to Mark Levin’s entire show. More show, less rant. He had Malkin on his show. What a bitch,(Michelle Malkin’s new book ) touting her Culture of Corruption,  a new book about the evil that is Obama. Who knew? It really should show the GOP and the conservative media what great lengths the public will go to keep the likes of a Palin and a McCain out of the WH and in the outhouse where they belong.

I ain’t sayin’ that I am over the moon about Obamacare and the thugs that he has put into office. I’ve written about them, all of them from top to bottom I no like them.

But what was the alternative? The GOP did not offer one in my honest opinion. I am conservative and a dem liberal at the same time. I do not believe in wasting money nor paying too much for something.I believe in conservative, recycling and prevention.

I shop the discount stores. And so should the public who have no jobs and lack healthcare. The little guys who met our clothing needs prevailed over the big boxes and the retailers and the anchor stores because they just did too much, way too much.

Obamacare is doing too much. May as well stick with the band-aid approach it has not worked in the past and will continue to be a boondoggle in the future. Oops did I say that? Better report this blogger as not being a part of the party faithful.

You heard it right. Obama and Gibbs have called out via commercials those who are against him in any way a “mob.” And have set up a Web site to report those who are against the status quo of Obamacare. I am against what I know will be a debacle. I can’t wait to say I told you so.

Levin said that this reminded him of the Soviets but might I remind him that the Nazi regimes paid handsomely for Jew-hiding informers. Just read a great book about the man who betrayed the Franks. He did not think that there would be any repercussions for it. Today we are being asked to snitch on our friends via the Internet. That’s the way of the world.

Malkin mentioned her gender and her ethnicity as being an inoculation of sorts against any black listing or gag orders. She can speak because she is not Anglo Saxon but a Filipino. I came to hate Filipino nurses back when I worked at a hospital in Chicago. Why,  because they wanted to screw and catch all the cute black doctors. That represents my disclosure and bias. However, to Malkin’s credit, I get her mixed up with Michelle Martin who is black, she did not bitch much on the show because it was a short visit. But her book is about a bitch’s brew that’s coming in the way of the Obama administration and the evil cabal that over-czars it. We have been duly warned Michelle and Mark. Thanks but no thanks.

Waiting Two Exhume

At this writing the official cause of death is yet unknown for two stars: michael jackson and e lynn harris.

For whatever reason while harris was on book tour to promote his 11th book Baseball Jones, hmm, another suggestive title as usual, Harris felt ill and died the next day. My call is either plaque and clogged arteries or brain clot of some kind.

MJ I have already stated never woke up from whatever he ingested or mainlined before he fell asleep. That’s why the drug propofal and Dr. Murray are both looking more like the smoking gun fully loaded.

I think bloggers have gotten cops off their butts in the case of MJ. His life was sliding into a slow suicide. In the end he hired the man who would help him with this dark star.

Do not believe the other blogs out there, believe me the cause of death is as yet speculation for these two black men who were not into black women. That is fine with me because I do not date or send out signals to black men as potential partners. Mostly because I am a true celibate single.

Barrett is fool’s fodder and King has sucked up the bait hook, line and stinker.

Kai Chase dishes her observations of MJ household

A pleasant and pretty Kai Chase spoke to Today about the last days of MJ.

She was in his employ since March only and with a three week hiatus returned and was there the day Dr Conrad Murray ran down the stairs about noon la time saying something was wrong.

Murray MD has thus far told so many lies thus far you need an excel spreadsheet to track them!

He was by no means alone in the house and when U call 911 your locale lights up. He could have shouted as soon as he knew something was amiss other than his patent lack of innocence–call 911 now.

But Kai reports no such shout came from Murray’s mouth. Rather a whisper that something was wrong with Mr. Jackson.

Murray and others should lose their licences over this shit.
Thank you Kai for your honest account.

jill to wed ed instead–it had to be U

So it had to be you Ed. Hope this one works out. The family seemed to love both guys. But Ed must have gotten busy in the bedroom this time is my best guess. Heloise had it right all along as per usual, told you so and all that good stuff.

Iam hoping to watch the final episode when it airs. If not I can imagine the outcome as a no brainer–ed.

Online cheats think they know the man and the plan but they don’t, even if they guess right.

Tiptyn is a good pick bit we think Ed will best him and pull ahead in the lead. Could great sex be the explosive ingredient we are not privvy to? I wonder. It may be too soon for that. No sex is a problem in this case.

(Famous Fridays) What Killed E. Lynn Harris? Dead at 54

AP reports This is my new category Famous Fridays, but author E. Lynn Harris died on Thursday after feeling faint on a LA train. He died the next day.

About 5 years ago I met E. Lynn Harris when he had a reading and book signing at the FW Public Library. I don’t have any of his books. I think I read his most famous one Invisible Life. I should have got it signed.

He was gay so that begs the question did he have AIDS? He looked fine when I saw him years ago. But my guess is that if it was not related to AIDS then it could have been a brain aneurism that is often asymptomatic. He felt faint and died the next day Thursday in LA.

I wonder if Hornywood will pick up one of his bestsellers for a film?

Heloise flew to Frisco the day after this news of Harris. Walking the pretty streets of this town I’ve seen some ugly shit. Namely some huge Sarcosis purple spots all over some of the skeletal gays here.

The gaybeaus are ubiquitous. So sad that the people of this country will pay for the crazy crap men have let other men do to them. It scares me.

Stop the TelePrompter I wanna get off!

Obama’s head must be spinning with all the media spin, especially Rush about his teleprompter fiascos. Well, he just put his foot in his mouth again with the stupidly remark.

Obama don’t make me cringe.

Are Skinny White Women attacking Obese Black women?

Huffpo said it differently. But my headline reflects what I thought when I heard conservative, skinny white women bashing Regina Benjamin. Black women and Mexican women are more likely to be obese. Yes, it’s personal. I am not obese but have had to fight my weight from time to time.

“The Ugly Truth” is beyond bad

I just watched the trailer for “The Ugly Truth” and it bespeaks the film’s stupidity. Just read a review of this movie on CNN and the reviewer agreed strongly that TUT is crap. Don’t waste your time or money. What is Hollywood thinking? That we are stupid? I don’t think so. I hope this movie rots in Hollywood hell.

“David McKalip MD is a Jew”

That’s what I googled. But nothing came back. Looking at his picture and his practice I think he’s a Jew pretending to be a conservative and practicing racist. There are many Jews who have changed their names, climes, and noses only to be nosed out by their comments AND BY Heloise.

Many were forced to convert during the Spanish inquisition and forced out of Germany. Then there are those who have assimilated and not changed their names but never mention that they are Jews. This guy may be the latter.

He has since apologized for his email directly to Obama.

People don’t know this about Jews that they are some of the worse offenders on the racist tip. They are master propagandists and that the man who taught Hitler all he knew was a Jew. Hitler’s mentor was a Jew. It’s history, look it up.

Republican Over-the-top Racism

TPM shares this lovely (racist) sentiment with the world.

I have been called a racist. A racist reminds the other that they are, well “the other” different. Whites do this very well I must add. Heloise had master teachers.

Stupidly is not a word

See my “Acted Stupidly” blog.

Obama went off the TelePrompter

Stupidly is NOT a word and Muslim is not a country. Is this the kind of shit that they are teaching students at Harvard these days?

President Obama and his press secretary need to get it together. And Obama need not every go off the TelePrompter. Just like the old joke about going off the reservation I think our president better stay on the teleprompter.

“Acted Stupidly” Obama’s Word-Choice Malfunction–update

I stand by my blog. I won’t apologize for saying that “stupidly” is not a word. It’s not.

Thanks to a google search that led a reader to this blog methinks they got it.  A linguist POV might differ from that of an English teacher. A linguist goes by “usage rules.” But also that it is okay to create words. By that convention “stupidly” is not common usage but is a word.

The word-choice malfunction is my creation but the word “stupidly” may not be a word at all. The word stupid is an adjective and stupidity is a noun. The superlative forms would be stupider or stupidest. Many words can be formed into adj by adding -ly. But there is no need to do that for a word I hate to use “stupid.” Stupid.

Yes, readers our President had a true word-malfunction.

At the presser and in the haste of Obama defending Skip Gates he messed up. Not only is “stupidly” not a word, but the cop in question did his freakin job….I’m sorry I have to side with the cop.

In the Obamacare presser the end brought a justification of the means. He commented on the recent arrest and dismissal of same of Henry Louis Gates, PhD. He is a scholar and they are friends. But Obama is more than a friend he is the President.

His word choice was poor, in fact even poorer on closer examination…it appears that it is not a word at all. But an invented epithet hurled stupidly at the entire police dept. Did I say that? I meant to say hurled out of stupidity at the entire police department. We may have gotten at the crux of the problem–syntax. Or in this case a word shortcut. If you use stupidly in place of out of stupidity you save a few breaths. Isn’t that what being president is all about–saving conserving our way of life and thinking? I think so. 

The president is the standard bearer and in this case I think he simply dropped the baton with the whole world watching.

There are a million words he could have used but “stupid” should not have been one of them. Stupid is one word I never use with my students because I don’t want them using it on me. Stupid means that you have no clue about the situation or that is above your comprehension.

Police like teachers write infractions and tickets. We focus on the behavior. We write about what happened and not how we felt about it. That is what the cop did. He was not stupid nor was he acting stupidly. Yes, there is racial profiling for black men not excusing that but absenting that it was the officer’s duty to respond to a show of disrespect.

If Gates, prof. Gates did anything but smile and say Yes Officer, no officer then he was out of order. The Prez was also out of order. I don’t know about them but when I am out and about on my bike I wave at every officer I see cruising the neighborhood.

Update: My first impression was that “stupidly” was a word.  It is at best an awkward word choice.  It is not an oft-used form. It would come under rare usage, even if correct per snobby English teachers (whom I hate anyway).

And if you read my review of John McWhorter’s book “Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue” you would know that anyone can make up a word. So even if this were not a word Obama could still use it and I would defend it. But most people think it is not a word based on usage. Case closed.

Did bloggers blow the cover off MJ death?

The Insured–Ambulance Ride Could Cost Thousands

Having insurance can cost you too. When I got to the point that I had to call 911 for an ambulance and they came I thought “no problem” riding to a very nearby hospital.

My neighbor came in to see why they were called and offered to take me to the hospital…it was no more than 5 blocks away. I told her no I would take the ambulance.

When I got the bill I needed a pill–it was 1,500 for that one two minute ride. It is not so costly if they come out and stablilze you but boy I couldn’t believe the bill.

My insurance covered a little less than $500 and I had to pay the rest. If you think not having coverage is for the poor or for fun then think again.

Dr. Murray Office Search Underway in Houston TX

CNN is reporting that this am the police were searching the offices of Dr. Murray in Houston TX. They would need a search warrant to be sure. The police in Houston are cooperating with the LAPD. There is no link because this is about all they had to say on the matter.

So much for the posturing that there is no homicide investigation ongoing.

English Pubs closing — they can’t cook anyway

The pubs in England are cute and cozy and expensive. At least more expensive that having a cold beer and bad Brit food at home. Yes I said it. The Brits invaded India and other countries in an effort to get some palatable food.

They simply can’t cook. What’s to mess up a beer not sure? But the food I ate while there was so undercooked I could hardly eat it. We went to a local pub and I was able to get something vegetarian. It was beans all I recall. And they were as hard as rocks.

I think it is a case of it’s all about energy or lack of it there. They can’t afford to use the energy to cook the damn food. Take my advice avoid the food in England as long as you can. I don’t eat fish but the fish and chips is probably good but fattening.

Farewell to fine English pubs.

Stephen Baldwin of Apprentice Fame Files for bankruptcy

Here’s link to the story about Stephen.

I watched the Apprentice season that featured crazy Stephen Baldwin. His fame outside of his family seemed a bit shaky to me. What are these stars thinking? Their fame is questionable in some case and finances even more questionable.

It is easy to get in debt but hard as hell to dig your way out of it. Can’t anyone live within their means these days? He and his wife have filed.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

This film was nominated for best pic in the foreign films cat. But it did not win. Man on Wire won. I’ve finally seen both. I live in Fort Worth what do you expect? We get few indies and even fewer artistic films. But with the Modern we are at least getting them.

BOY is a nice looking film. It is about a family that is torn up during the Final Solution. In a year described by non-Holocaust films this is another one. The surprise ending was truly a surprise.

BOY is about two boys: one the son of a high-ranking SS officer in charge of one of the death camps. The men and boys who inhabit the place wear those infamous striped pjs. The other boy wears the garb of a Jew caught up in the Final Solution…he is waiting to die but he may not know it.

The officer’s son resists Nazi prop and interpretation of who the Jew is exactly. So this is a foreshadow of what is to come in terms of his love of the Jew, despite being taught to the contrary.

This was a critically acclaimed movie. Many Holocaust movies leave out the families who found themselves on both sides of the Jewish argument. Like the Civil War in America families don’t always agree with the fatherland and with Hitler.

Could there have been more about the Holocaust and the Jews themselves? I think so. But maybe there is a new examination of quieter paths that led Germany to destroy a culture and Euroopean Jewry. As a student of the Holocaust and Jewish history I found it a good addition to this genre.

SPOILER ALERT

I did not see the death of the officer’s son coming. The barb wire fence separated the two boys who tried to play games despite the wall that separated them. One day one of them got the idea of the German digging under the fence and putting on the uniform of death. They are presesd for time because the wife and kids are going to move away leaving the dad to finish off the Jews.

The day that the tunnel is dug is the day of liquidation of that particular bunk. We see both boys hearded up like dogs to their death by gas. The parents are beside themselves with grief. The end.

Grand Praire Got (racist) mail!

I haven’t got all the details but on the news tonight I heard some very ugly very racist stuff cops did on company computers.

Two or more cops were emailing back and forth using company computers racisit emails about President Obama. They called him the N word and said that an N doesn’t hold a job for more than 4 years so that N will be out of there then.

They also call Air Force One something other than it’s real name. The news did not describe it but the man interviewed said it was pretty ugly.

I know Texas has a bad racial reputation richly deserved so I hate to say it — this is somehow not surprising. If you think some whites are not calling Obama out of his name then you are crazy.

Gates Got Loud — Cops Got Handcuffs

Bottomline when the cops stop you for any reason you better be nice. It does not matter if you are right, wrong, or in between as public servants they demand respect.

As a college prof Gates demands and commands respect of his students. As a public school teacher I too demand respect but I have to give it. I believe that Gates got loud, hate to say it. He got uppity, which is code for you too black and you know too much and you show too much.

Black people have to be better but they also have to be more demure and deferrential.

I wrote a comment at The Daily Beast about how my neighbors got crazy with me when I had a couple of brothers doing some work for me. The whole damn neighborhood came out and I thought they were going to call the cops. But overall I have very nice neighbors, all white. One Mexican across the street but she does not speak to me.

What did I do? Just uppity…I plead guilty.

The Health Care Reform Pill — Too Big to Swallow?

If this is the age of Obama then he wants to make it the age of Obamacare. The reform of health care is a pill–no doubt about it. Here’s a link on a Q&A from Gov. Dean.

But who really has to swallow this big pill? I too have not read the bill but it sounds like everybody will have to carve up this pill into multi-doses until it goes down with a tall glass of water.

I have family that delays going to the doctor. I have delayed going to the doc even when I had the money. I paid for my delay by losing part of my hearing in the left ear. Others are losing part of their health or parts of their body by not being able to walk in and get help with health.

I was not in on the conference health care call when Obama did a virtual shoutout to bloggers to help with this pill of a bill. But here’s my two cents anyway: I see hospitals getting bigger. They are growing by leaps and bounds. Now we know some have shuttered their doors but others that are healthy are seam splitting.

What does this mean? It means that like a luxury hotel somebody has to pay for all this infrastructure. Hell, all we really want and need is a hole in the wall place with a good family doctor.

This is the only country in the world where doctors and hospitals are getting rich off employers and people. Twenty years ago I kept seeing how every year we had to go to a meeting on the NEW health care insurance the company had just bought. You think they are not going to change or buy Obamacare too? Think again.

Every year the premiums went up…this was decades ago when health care would be free from the employer. Those days are gone.

Look in the mirror? Like what you see? What to keep it looking that way? Then you better have and keep a job if this pill does not go down the gullet of the gullible.

Iris Finsilver is full of shit

Yup, it’s that cold for that chick. She lied for her friends. But I know Jews stick together unlike black folks. No body knows if MJ had sex with any woman. No woman has claimed heterosexual sex w/ the man in the mirror.

Birds and men do sing when they are hungry or feel ignored. That’s the fun of tonight. These men are telling all on each other. Tanner P the toe man is not typical but he went a long way on the show.

If they marry she will be an instant mom…that kind of cooking takes time to simmer and bake in a slo cooker. Don’t rush it.

Jillian is the restaurant designer. I thought she was just a designer. No wonder she had a fab kitchen.

Ed’s secret is out…he’s a drinker? That can cause problems in the bedroom Ed. You better quit it before Jillian catches on. Take it from me booze will bust up your relationship.

Klein Claims Kids — A Jew’s Your Daddy!

Mirror

Reported a couple of days ago what Heloise said a week ago: the kids look Jewish to me. I was not grasping at straws but Debbie and the docs were when they inseminated her with Klien sperm.

He has much to gain by claiming the kids are his biologically. Blanket may have been the product of a blind adoption and donor. He is a white child, that’s all we really know. He has no Jackson blood in him. He looks British to me or Anglo. But Prince and Paris are Jewish. Debbie might be too so that would make the kids Jewish plain and simple.

Abdul “Out” At Idol

AP is now reporting that Abdul has no contract. Did Idol producers lie to Paula’s face when they brought in Kara DioGuardi and said that she was not there to replace Abdul? It is looking that way. They would want at least one woman judge to balance out the show. They want to save money. They want to save face. But is this the way to do it?

The show was starting to suck anyway.

Paula Abdul Fuming While Leaving Idol Cold

It seems that Mouth Abdul is about to erupt over Idol much the way that I once characterized Mouth Bush erupting while in Israel. Your timing is all wrong baby. You got the MJ moves down pat and you are a whiz on the dance floor but your timing on this eruption is not good and not wise.

Why is Paula fuming? I am not sure why she is about to erupt. Is it because they pay her too much money? Or not enough. Some people are never happy. Especially a woman who has an addiction problem. Too much money? No problem. She can give it all away or walk away. This woman truly has too much time on her hands.

I’ve followed Paula’s career pretty much at the same time as MJ. He influenced her dance style. She’s funny too. She pointedly told the black folks who asked her if she was black and who were buying her records–I was not one of them–that she was not black. End of story. She is part Brazilian and Canadian. If she is part Brazilian then you know she has some black in her. But one can claim to be what one wants to be or what one looks most like. In the case of Mt. Abdul she is white.

Regardless to her racial politics her love life has been a miserable failure. She should have gotten a black man when she could. Now sadly nobody seems to want the Paula on Idol. Or the Paula about to be off Idol.

There is the saying that you can’t have everything. She is no exception. Love has passed her boy thus far. Paula has the look, the talent and the drug addiction to prove it.

Have a nice one Paula.

youtube

He got permission to use the same beat as the song America sang in 1972.

He is singing to the same beat “I’ve been to the desert on a horse with no name” but MJ sings to a place. Well in my spiritual science a place with no name like God with no name means you want to get off earth plane, even if for a little while.

MJ was unwittingly singing about death, about going somewhere with no name. That’s how it sounds to these spiritual ears. Wow! He went there.

Nine Doctors Investigated in MJ death probe–including Klein

Daily Beast

TDB is the only site that is carrying a story about Dr. Klein’s dirty past as booted med student from U Penn years ago. It takes a lot to get kicked out of med school. Klein crossed the line clearly.

One of Klein’s Penn colleagues thought that Klein might have been influenced by a book he cowrote, Drug Trip Abroad: American Drug-Refugees in Amsterdam and London, which was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 1972, a year after Klein graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Shelley said he believed that Klein had obtained his medications from Mexico.

“That book immersed him in the drug world,” a fellow physician told me. “It might have been the catalyst for what got him into trouble with the school administration.”

No mr. innocent when it comes to Klein. He dribbles the truth as I said before when he is not pitching downright lies.

Jared’s dad: Observant Jew and convicted felon

Jared Kushner wealthy newspaper owner and engaged to Ivanka Trump has a felon, jailbird daddy. It is reported that they are very close. They observe Shabat every Saturday as a family.

His daddy plays dirty really dirty. And they said Joe Kennedy was dirty!  The Kennedys did not pay Harvard to gain admission, but Charles did. Does this story qualify as a WTF Friday? Not really, but it’s good. This Dem has spent time in prison and it ain’t pretty.

Cityfile

In 2004, it came to light that Kushner had skirted campaign finance laws, making political donations in the names of his real estate partners without their consent, a scheme that allowed him to direct millions to candidates like McGreevey, who received more than $1.5 million from the real estate developer between 1997 and 2001.

The scandal got messier when it was revealed that Kushner’s brother and sister, Murray and Esther—both of whom had been at odds with Charles over various financial matters—had cooperated with the federal investigation into his campaign activities, and that Charles had retaliated for the perceived betrayal by hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law. (He sent a videotape of the encounter to his sister on the day of a family gathering.)

Nice guy. He wisely stopped making big political contributions to Dems in 2006. Had he donated to Obama then it would have been another scandal in real time.

Roland Martin en route with Obama to NAACP

They are the ones who killed many black historic hospitals in California and other places with their OVERUSE of the ER rooms. The right is right in asking this question.

My question was to be the subject of a doctoral dissertation to be done in France. I was going to compare Mexicans with the north Africans who migrate to France both legally and illegally.

I would be comparing apples with apples.  I never did that at the Sorbonne even though I was about to get clearance to do same. But it would just be coming of import about this time if I had be able to complete the study.

Jackson a “full-blown drug addict” see photos of punctures and vitiligo

ABC photos of vitiligo and puncture marks here. Nightline last night version just ran a good look at what MJ was doing with his money. He was addicted to Demerol from the get-go. And showed anyone the door who put the kibosh on his drugs or told him about it.

MJ has shown the huge sore/infection on his lower leg. That does not come with one puncture wound. That looks like the kind of leg that a diabetic might have. Jackson was the kingpin of drugs.

The other photos show vitiligo on his legs. Did it reach his face? If you also look at his changing looks (Us weekly photos) over the years you will notice what I did…he was lighter at one point but not snow white. That came later. I ask did it have to come at all?

There will be a fine legal line entre accidental drug overdose and involuntary manslaughter. If Propofol was found then it will be manslaughter. If only Demerol admixed with other drugs then it could be accidental overdose. It could actually be a combo of both. I also called MJ’s death a Ledger redux and that has been vindicated too.

Vitiligo — Joe Jackson offers proof

Joe Jackson has offered some proof that MJ had a bad form of vitiligo. It was a photo that I have probably seen before, decades or years before. It can attack the whole body but this was on his feet. Joe was interviewed for Family Secrets on ABC. And he also uttered what I wrote “Michael never woke up…he died in his sleep.” The family is suspicious of foul play. Start with the fact that MJ never woke up and work backwards.

Joe also said an aunt of MJ had the disease. It is familial it can be inherited. Maybe MJ did not want to pass down the disease or his ailments to his children. He wanted them to be free of MJ DNA. That may not have been a bad idea if you are not going to then lie about it.

No way do those kids have any Jackson DNA. They might imbibe the dancing air sing by symbiosis or syncopation. But that is to be seen. Speaking of DNA the more I see Paris the more I am convinced one of her parents was Jewish. Nothing else makes sense.

While we may have proof of vitiligo there is doubt about the treatment he chose…complete depigmentation. Then how does that cause one to go on to 50 plastic surgeries?

There were no sags, no cracks in the MJ facade. Did the tightly tangled web of lies act as cover for the drugs and cracks in the Jackson armour?

Black people don’t go to doctors so why a black Surgeon General?

I am glad that President Obama has found a black woman who is qualified to be surgeon general. Because take it from someone who has been black all her life black people don’t go to doctors the way that white people do.

Not only do I have a long history in the health care industry but so does my daughter, sister, and two cousins are all certified professionals. White folks will go to the doc at the first sign of a problem but black folks don’t and won’t.

Controlling for income and education you would find little difference in usage of doctors. This was to be the subject of my doctorate so I still study and think about it. Dr. Benjamin is a needed role model for black folks.

But what’s more needed than a black SG is the change in habits and mindset of black people. They eat everything and anything and seemingly drink anything too. That has to change.

I Just Look Puerto Rican

If looking Puerto Rican made for a good SCOTUS judge then Judge Sonia Sotomayer (hereafter Judge SoSo) has a real claim to fame. 

SoSo is Puerto Rican in name only. Judge SoSo does not talk PR, does not walk PR, does not think PR in fact she does not even look PR but looks Jewish. So if she is confirmed and I am guessing she will be, we will get a PR in name only. If she is the un-Puerto Rican then is she also unsympathetic? This is what the right is hoping to uncover the unsympathetic SoSo. If her ruling on the firefighters is any clue, then I think we need look no further for this “wise latina.”

Any Dem will do

She is the unpuerto rican, if you will. And SoSo’s best strategy will be to get out of her own way. AKA no meltdowns madame. That said, she is off to a good start.

They have banker’s hours. It starts up at 9:30 Tuesday and ends at what 1:00? I have nothing to report today on today’s hearings except that she is an unPR. And I heard her say that she will apply the law.

If pre judgeship is any measure look at what Thurgood Marshall did before he was confirmed to the bench…fixed Brown v Board and much of the segregation in the South.  However, much of that was in name only. It was the unsegregation laws of America running downstream to catch an unsegregated bus out of the deep south.

Murray, M.D. — Manslaughter in MJ Death?

TMZ has lots of drug photos taken at Jackson abode. But the new question, one that Heloise has already answered is whodunit? I said immediately that Dr. Murray dunnit. Now the fingers are pointing and the tongues are wagging that Murray could be brought up on charges.

What could those charges be? If MJ acted alone it would be accidental overdose and no charges. But if MJ had help then it would be a wrongful death and a case of manslaughter. It could also be second degree murder.

But whatever it is, it ain’t pretty. What paints such a dire pic for Dr. Feelgood here is that he waited over 30 minutes to call 911. He was trying to bring MJ back from the dead. I also contend that MJ never woke up from what hit him. There is talk that he collapsed with a needle in his arm. Really? I think he was injected or IV by a doctor who didn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. Who probably couldn’t measure a cc if it hit him. Nurses are actually better at numbers than docs anyway.

Dr. Murray was a case of suicide or murder waiting to happen to anyone who trusted him with their life. MJ picked the right guy for the wrong job.

You heard it here first under “The doctor whodunit” where I contend that Murray MD had egg on his face from the getgo.

MJ used all the tools in black magician’s bag

Maybe he didn’t start out that way but he ended up that way. And it brings to mind the wages of sin is death.

I know all about black magic and white magic. I use it effectively too. There is a price to pay no matter what type of magic you use. The magic of Michael was in the drugs the unsex with nobody knows and the startling narcissism that shocked the world.

Maybe you can use vitiligo as an excuse to cover up your black skin but you can’t use singing as an excuse to to uncover the cartilage in your nose with ten nose jobs. I joke that at some point one of his noses looked like a natural version of my own.  That nose was not enough for Jackson he kept trying for the inhuman look , the look of Peter Pan.

The Peter Pan syndrome is not just a name it is a medical condition. It is all about a boy who never grows up. His narcissism killed him early. Peter Pan could be listed as the cause of death but it won’t be. This syndrome is more common among white middle class boys and men.  Michael did not start out white, middle class but he ended up white and wealthy. And they too are subject to same.

Oh Damn, Debbie had the hookup!

There is nothing naturally odious about nurses. But when you combine the name Rowe with Jackson with pills you get a curious equation that equals death.

How did this skip past me? Debbie the nurse does MJ. She literally had the hookup as we colloquially call it. But this time it is literal.  A nurse would also know how to administer and set up IV poles. She can’t prescribe meds but she can be an alias, she can be a fetcher, she can be a gopher, she can be an enabler.

Was Debbie an enabler and a source of the hookup for drugs?

[L]ongstanding IV-drug use raise new questions about whether the pop star, who traveled with an anesthesiologist during his HIStory tour in the mid-’90s, died from the improper administration of some of the anesthesia drugs seized by investigators in his home after his death last week.

The Daily Beast questions Debbie Rowe’s role as inept at administering drugs.  I question her motives in selling her kids to MJ, then wanting them back with her record.

They don’t accuse her but question her role as enabler extraordinaire.

Could cheap electrolytes have saved MJ?

MJ was an on-again off-again vegetarian from what I’ve gathered. But one thing was a constant — being thin. You can’t be too thin or too rich. But you can die from either and MJ seemed to have been a victim of same.

He was not much more than 100 pounds when he died but he was also in a weakened condition if he was not eating enough calories for his activity level. Did he supplement that lethargic feeling with uppers? Then have to come down with downers? And when you eat a meager diet that too impacts insomnia.

If his electrolyte levels fell too low and if the level of tryptophan was also low then he would get a shaky, nervous feeling that would keep him from sleeping. Self-medicating what only proper nutrition will fix is idiocy. Electrolytes are potassium, sodium and glucose. We get it mainly by eating. Tryptophan can be found in carbs, milk and peanut butter. MJ chose drugs over food.

Dumping drugs of any kind into the system will lower the heart rate and pulse. I also wonder  how his intestines could be faring with all the CNS suppressants? The drugs he took would have kept his intestines in a stuck position. Nothing would move very fast, very far. That would get unhealthy too.

MJ may have had a resting pulse as low as 80/60! And if it fell to that range or below then it would trigger cardiac arrest.

According to one of the tabloids MJ was having chest pains just days before he died. He ignored them and he went away.

Yes, Jackson WAS snow white, bald and skin and bones

See my post “Jackson bald, mere 112 pounds…” from the UK source. That story was debunked but I believed it and it has resurfaced with new sources at CNN. He was bald, white as a T and full of needle marks.

However, sources continually cite that he collapsed. Well, here we part ways because you can’t collapse if you never wake up or get up. I contend that when the full truth comes out that it will be shown that MJ never woke up from the last time going under the influence.

Dr. Klein “watch” — he dribbles the truth

Dr. Klein needs to be put on a truth watch. He is dribbling the truth out in dribs and drabs. We are supposed to believe him. We are supposed to do a lot of things but believing this guy is not one of them.

Today he is the generic sperm donor. Why? Does this guy need money? I don’t think so. Tomorrow he will be “well maybe my sperm did go to MJ/Rowe eggs.” Really, steely?

We will see how many days it takes for the real truth to come out about Dr. Feelgood Klein.

Last week he was a “No, I did not participate in giving MJ drugs of any kind.” This week he admits to the press that he prescribe MJ demerol. This guy needs his head examined…both of them.

M.J. Stands for Broadway

Last night friends picked me up and took me to see The Little Shop of Horrors playing here at the Bass Hall. I sat in the front row. The singing and the music was great. I was so surprised. But it goes along with what I’ve always said I’ve never seen a bad live performance, never.

During intermission we milled around and saw some folks dressed up like ghouls. I wished I had brought my cell phone to take photos but did not. Right before the second act some of the ghouls got on stage while others lined the aisles. Then you heard the first bar of that instantly recognizable sound of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. They danced the short version with limited space. But still it was a thrill to hear and see it.

While watching I saw this too M.J. Broadway. Why not? I see it. It will happen with some group or another. Of course they will have to buy the music rights unless the family does the deed themselves.

M.J. (the musical) I want to see it on Broadway.

(Halle) Berry, boyfriend and baby as racial study

Nahla and Halle

Charlie Sam

I think I’ve discovered my niche in celebrity talk and write: race, and more race. I could be writing this article about Tiger Woods and his quadroon baby as well as about Halle Berry and the baby she and boyfriend Aubry created together.

Interesting that both Woods and Berry chose to partner with European whites rather than American folks. Woods woman is Scandanavian and Aubry is French. But the subject of this post is Berry and Aubry. The Superficial Web site has some awesome photos of the recent Berry gang vacation.

 Quadroon: an offspring of a mulatto and a white parent; a person who is one-quarter black/ That’s an old racial definition that was in use during slavery. The most beautiful and famous of these types were from the French Quarter and were later known as colored Creoles and some are white Creoles. My own family would be colored Creole. And the odd thing about that class is that without being biracial or a quadroon many look white or near-white, or passing white. Moreso than true biracials. I digress.

If you look at the two babies they look much alike in coloring, hair color and features. They do not look white. They are white only if this country were not hung up on the one drop rule. If I were either of these parents I would put white on bc if that is still in use.

However, when we juxtapose these kids with those of MJs white kids we see that hands down MJs kids do not have one drop of his blood. Blanket who looks a bit swarthy with his coal black hair, often a sign of an Octoroon, still has no Jackson blood. He does look like his mom could have been biracial and the father, whoever he is, white.

What I’ve noticed, time will tell, is that subsequent children of these mixes will look more white. If these two couples have say four or five kids we will see at least two of them look just white. Generally, the first child of such mixes is the most black looking. I’ve seen too many such children to say differently. Curious, not sure why.

The features of the boy will change the most. Girls tend to change less in features. There is no telling how Sam will look when grown, but more predictable how Nahla will look, looks like she will look just like mom. Typically babies/children resemble the father more, in most cases, so it will be intersting to see how this plays out in Nahla’s case.

My own children had sandy wavy, big curly hair, and green eyes when born. My daughter’s hair changed to coal black, thick and very long when she grew up. But her features are the same.

Can Television avoid fate of newspapers?

Can TV remain relevant is the question? I watch and record many morning shows. Morning Joe is so bad I end up fast forwarding the whole thing. Then I think why did I bother even recording it in the first place. Then there are the papers. I have not had a newspaper subscription in years. Have not devoured papers since I was JFK. I am an avid reader. I am the type of reader the papers do not want to lose. But they lost me. They lost the Web war without a shot being fired from the Web.

Per a Nielsen study we are spending more time in front of screens period. That bodes well for a Kindle but does not bode well for a paper newspaper. Should newspapers give away Kindles to readers? If the Google Chrome is all it’s cracked up to be that may be the way to go and get everything! Even Oprah seems to be irrelevant. She has to tape and set her guests months in advance. How to keep it hot? When the Edwards were on I think she had pretty high ratings, but that story still had a lot of mileage left in it. Most don’t.

I know TV guys can’t be as reckless as us blogger guys who can make bloopers and mistakes and not bat an eye. But as I watch TV after going online I think what’s the use? I already know it all from just a few minutes online, from blogging from reading blogs and from my own predictions that later appear as headlines! Then there’s the other programming. I mean Netflix has got them beat by a country mile and the cable shows that offer edgy, sexy, late movies sans commercials. How can TV survive the onslaught of such timeliness? Heloise wants to know.

What’s a cutting-edge blogger to do?

The dilemma IMO seems to be the voracity and the appetite for immediacy. Time has sped up. It has sped up here on earth. On the astral plane and on higher planes still time does what Einstein predicted…it slows down to to a crawl. So I ask are papers stuck on the astral plane while the Web is here on earth now going light speed?

Vitiligo 101 (medical link)

Vitiligo . Since we are not privvy to MJ medical records we do not know what KIND of vitiligo the King had. It could have been a little bit or it could have been a lot.

It could have been localized or spread all over his body. It could have been treated without losing all his color also seems true. But no one will tell. Now the King who could tell is dead. Perhaps if he had been more honest and forthcoming he would have had more close friends. People don’t like lies and avoid liars even if they are related to them.

So, vitiligo will go to the grave with MJ wherever he’s buried. This is not a lie.

McNair Murder — Kazemi Killed Him

TMZ reports that forensics are in. Kazemi killed McNair and then herself. Naturally her family said no way this was the case. Yes, way it was the case. Case closed the girlfriend dunnit.

What a way to go? McNair having a simple affair. But did the stupid thing and told her he would leave his wife. Heloise has been there done that. Believe no man when he tells you he will leave his wife for you. He would have already left!

Then there is the age diff. McNair was 36 dating a woman 20. He messed up too. Most married men who will have affairs prefer mature women who “won’t smell, and won’t tell” as I was told by one affair.

They also know better not to expect a divorce. That’s too bad McNair did not seem to know the rules of dating on the side. Get a woman your own age men if you are going to cheat. If he were really gonna leave his wife he should have done that first, then get the young arm candy.

Vitiligo — Where’s the proof?

Dr. Klien was MJ dermatologist.  I don’t believe a word he said. Where are any pics depicting MJ in any of the stages of vitiligo. It can be fatal. Lupus is also serious. He would not have lived to old age, but where are the spots? I’ve never seen them. True the disease takes away all pigment. I’ve seen people, know a person who died from it, and it takes away the color.

But he thinks the media are lying on MJ I think it is the other way around… they are covering up literally.

White Shirt — My MJ collar-up look

White Shirt -- collar up

Note the hair, nose, face and features are real. No plastic surgery for that gal. Yes I do look like MJ at one point through his surgeries. And though I am technically not biracial my 3 races and 6 ethnic groups mix– place me at about 60 percent white.
That includes a smaller percentage of actual Anglo-Saxon blood. As a nurse once quipped to me “you look just like my cousin who is half Irish and Italian (Sicilian maybe). Them’s the racial breaks.

Anyhow, I just learned that prof. Melissa Lacewell Harris, a frequent guest on Jewish Rachel Maddow’s show, is often called upon to speak to all things black–is in fact herself biracial. Not a bad thing, just sayin’. But she looks like a typical pretty black girl from Chatham (Chicago’s black mecca) where I grew up.

That’s why I can spot a black American from an African instantly. Even the Ethiopians who are racially mixed don’t look like us. They look just, well, like each other. I digress. Race fascinates.

The Molestation Trial Killed MJ

When I saw MJ appear on TV with that red shirt pleading for his life…I thought “this is is.” That we would hear any day that he was dead. Now is any day. That was back in 2003, so sad. I was a blogger back then but not a celebrity blogger and had no reason to write about what was going on with MJ.

But that has all changed for me and for him. I have my MJ-inspired photos posted to my facebook account. And damn MJ was trying to look like well, me and people like me. He looks white too, but I see my face in some of his faces too.

Just the torment of the trial whether or not he was quilty makes no difference. I think it killed him and sent him into a downward spiral that he never recovered from. But then the really great die young. They die young only to return quickly.

Juan stated that Palin is the most popular Repub out there and she threw her political capital all away with both hands…paraphrase.

Let’s All Go to Pundit School

There is a school for punditry. That started with the politicians who took their cues from actors. JFK took his cues from good looking actors. But he was preceded by William F. Buckley per Sunday Morning. Yes, I too cut my political teeth on the best…Buckley. He was the best. He was an expert in his own right.

But my punditry comes from my past life. I may not always express it perfectly, even though my Heloispeak has exploded in the media, I get it right more often than most, way more often. I’ve been tested. My ESP has been tested by another individual. When tested without chance to even know what the test would be, how did Heloise score?

She scored an unbelievable 100% accuracy. What did I do? The tester asked me to take a deck of shuffled cards and to lay them face down black with black and red with red. It took me a few minutes. I took my time and laid each card down as I touched them. No long lingerings about it.

When he turned the cards over we were both speechless. I had matched them up 100%. I don’t think that is only a question of 50/50 because I used a full deck of 52 cards. What are the odds in doing that? Not sure never looked it up. Even if it is 50/50 how many would not be on the right side?

I did that particular test only once. But have been tested many times by relatives who again did not tell me they were testing my ESP. But I would answer the call and they would tell me that they were calling me! Even they were surprised. I told them that it registered like an urge that I had to comply with. It was for good and not for evil. Plus they did not tell me until after the fact. How about that?

Michael Jackson: The Movie

I am watching Into The Wild for the third time and the main character played by Emile Hirsch would make a great Michael at his peak. He has the lean body and he can act and with the proper makeup would look just like him. I read the book a while back and it made a deep impression on me. The movie was pretty good thanks to Hirsch. What was his past life like, I mean McCandless? Since he died in a depraved starved condition and went to it on his on, it made me think that perhaps he had some involvement in death camps of Germany and wanted to get that karma off his record.

I digress. This guy would make a great Michael Jackson.

They would only have to teach him to dance or have a dance double.

Then there are the years as we reach MJ from young boy to manhood. That would probably take at least no less than 10 male actors to play Jackson. The movie would trace him from youth to manhood to death. How to accurately show his facial changes would be the question? It would ten people because MJ was ten people rolled into one.

The movie would be a blockbuster regardless. But why not make of it an epic tale of evil inhabiting the body of a boy. He embraces that energy and becomes the greatest entertainer of all time. The rod to heaven is paved by the snake of black and white coiled around the one.

Jackson’s Death by death penalty

Unbelievable is the buzz of the day on FOX news that I am watching on dvr now. And the host nailed i.t. She said that it sounds like what is administered to death penalty cases.

The doctor concurred and said that yes, they are given respiratory supressants, IV drips, painkillers, and anesthesia. All the ingredients for a painless death. However, as a meditator and follower of Buddhism I know that death is not painless no matter what drugs are taken.

The outer death may have been peaceful and in his bed but it is still death by death penalty. He died like a death row inmate charged with the crime of being a black magician. There are many comparisons to Anna Nicole’s death. But this is even worse. Doctors are going to jail in this case too.

I predict that this may compare to the coverage that JFK’s death received and the many conspiracy theories hence. But also we are looking at apotheosis. As Roland Martin said there needs to be a shrine built in MJ’s memory. I think it should at least an eternal flame. Maybe both why not? Yes, that’s the thing. It would be cheaper too.

Unseen MJ footage from 1996 — Defending allegations

Link from News of the World and commentary on the video.  In it MJ is asked a series of questions not about sex, but about sexual molestations. He deftly changes the subject by defending himself. No, he is not gay, no white boy was going to play him in a movie, no he did not bleach his skin. Michael is beyond convincing. He’s should win an award for this performance.

I just watched it. It’s short. But I have a different take from the headlines that scream “he squirms.” He seems honestly like he believes everything he is saying.

In fact he is charming and endearing in the video. A real Peter Pan. He is smiling at the mention of sex and sexual molestation of various boys. He is smiling out of some sort of deep embarrassment truly. His smile is quite revealing and so is his defense of his life, what he stands for.

Actually he reminds me here of a very good actor. MJ you should have been a screen actor. He is quite believable more here than in the Martin Bashir documentary.

That said, I don’t believe a freaking word MJ speaks in this video. If he can confidently lie about NOT bleaching every ounce of melanin out of this body to the point that he has NO COLOR. NO PIGMENT. That is what he has done he de-pigmented himself.

Melanin comes in tiny packages in the skin. White people have melanin and it gives color. My ex white boyfriend and I were the exact same color, but he was white. He had pigmentation. But clearly MJ has no pigmentation.

This is what an albino looks like, period.

Serial Killer on the loose in SC — Updated (he’s dead)

Some things you can’t predict

Some things you can’t predict like the death of Michael Jackson, death of Farrah Fawcett on the same day and the resignation of  Sarah Palin the very next week. Why? There are boundaries around souls called astral family and astral light.

One must be in that person’s aura as a friend or confident or blood relative — or part of that astral family in order to read the aura of the group the person or the events to follow.

I do predict many things. Many things can be predicted based on trends and patterns. And Palin, for example, had a pattern of making stupid moves that she thought were brilliant. This was another case. She was wrong. Her patterns were erratic and confounded with a dizziness that only those in her immediate astral family would understand. Only they could accurately predict that she would quit virtually in midstream.

MJ too had patterns, lots of them. Most of all he would take no advice or counsel from his family, friends or outsiders. He was his own man. Most masters are. We get that. But he needed intervention if he were to live. I saw his end actually the day he got on TV with the red shirt, hair pulled back, begging for the world not to judge him.

He told us the sun was still shining on his virtue. He lied. I thought this is it. I actually expected to hear that he was dead any day from that day on. He said that in what 2003 and this is 2009. He said he wanted to live to be 150. He was off by one hundred years of sanity.

Farrah Fawcett was only predictable when she let the world in on her family and her fate. Fate is funny. You only get one shot to predict it but many lives to live it. Be a family. Be a part of something.

Michael Jackson “does not look human”

Just watching 20/20 tribute. And I have to give the black woman credit for this sentiment that I concur “he does not look white, black or even human.”

The ironic thing is that at some points in the surgery and face changes he actually looked beautiful. But that was not enough. He did too much, and was too much. He has an end-stage nose, crucified nose, with no end in sight.

MJ wold have looked a little like Stevie Wonder except his nose would have been larger. In no way would MJ look like the pan, the nymph that he resembles after the some 50 surgeries. Even I had no clue he had that damn many procedures. No wonder he was freaking addicted to anesthesia. He felt at home in the surgical chair.

Honestly when he appeared on TV with the red shirt defending himself against the molestation allegations I thought to myself “Michael Jackson you won’t live much longer.” I really thought he would die suddenly that next year. It didn’t happen and I forgot that thought.

There is no way to confirm that but I did not see him living a long life, no way. Did not know about the drugs but he didn’t either.

The king of energy could not sustain that pace. Jackson went from a cute black man to an often beautiful transitional face, to a mix of unhuman and minx.

So you will have to take my word for it and/or ask my relatives on facebook who can confirm my story.

After I left her employ in the 1980s to return to college she hit it big by landing a job with NBC. Producing many of the Dateline shows. She had connections and a degree from an Ivy school. She’s also attractive.

I too was quite attractive and everybody noticed my looks and my brains. I took notice and decided to use a rift that developed between the Mills, Aretha and my family. I walked out on my job and returned to school. I am rambling I know, just watched Palin and it’s contagious. Besides no one is going to read this.

The ties that bind
But the ties that bind this blogger to the MSM, to use one of my own sayings: I didn’t see coming are real. The woman behind, the black woman behind, Peacock Productions is none other than a woman I used to work for and knew as Aretha Marshall Mills. Because she was married to a Mills.

My first cousin and I worked at Provident Hospital. She briefly worked for Aretha’s husband and I worked for Aretha. I began by working for the director of hospital Joseph P. Mann, who may be deceased by now, or quite old. Anyway, he was a sexy Scorpion and he gave me to Aretha like some property of the hospital.

It worked well for a time. But I knew I was smarter than being a secretary and bossed around by Aretha. She was a good boss and my leaving really had nothing to do with her, but more to do with an inner understanding that I was definitely somebody.

At The Trough and when I wrote for blogcritics I did get ugly comments about my style and lack of mechanics or syntax and stream of thought. The comments hurt, the criticism cut but that did not change what I knew. It did not change the fact that I have a debt to repay to two groups: doctors/surgeons and the main stream media. Why? Because I needed them to function as Jack Kennedy and later as JFK.

Diana Ross Was MJ’s Mentor

We can tell. And we can see the resemblance in that MJ became obsessed with whiteness and white people, just like Diana. Diana would tell confidants that she was going to marry a rich white man, even after she became famous. They told her she was crazy. But she persisted and found one man after another until she finally did marry a rich white European and had children with him.Tracee Ellis Ross is her daughter from first marriage to (Jewish) Robert Silberstein. So Tracee is half Jewish like Jasmine Guy. She also had a baby with Barry Gordy, who’s black but juxtaposed next to the rest of the girls is fodder for the fabloids. Rhonda did not know that she was Barry Gordy’s daughter until she was in her teens. She looks black, so I’m surprised there.

I know there was friction just on that tip alone. Because black people are messy when it comes to color and ethnicity. Wonder where that came from?

Diana is the mother of five children. Rhonda Suzanne Silberstein (born August 8, 1971), now known as Rhonda Ross Kendrick is her daughter with Berry Gordy but carried her first husband’s name. Tracee Joy Silberstein (born October 29, 1972, now known as Tracee Ellis Ross) and Chudney Lane Silberstein (born November 4, 1975, now known as Chudney Ross) are her daughters with first husband Robert Silberstein. Ross Arne Næss (born October 7, 1987) and Evan Olav Næss (born August 26, 1988), now known as Evan Ross) are her sons with Arne Næss.

Which side of Michael will the world remember? That’s a good question. People learn from mentors what to do and whom to love. Diana’s blackness and rise from the pit of the projects also paralleled MJ and family’s own rise. She was determined to have biracial children. Jackson CLAIMED he had biracial children but I think he did not want to take the chance of the kids looking too black.

The next best thing to do? Say that the kids are biracial! Who knew? We know MJ and the jig is up. You are obsessed with whiteness and white people and you owe some of that obsession to Miss Thing herself. Your female counterpart. At least she didn’t whiten her skin and cut off her nose. MJ you did too much.

Grey Gardens — DVD review

This odd film might almost be called a ‘cockumentary’ because the two women who inhabit the film are bat shit crazy and come up with some cockamamie stuff. They were once beautiful as old photos bear out. And both mother and daughter have a sense of style that they are not shy about sharing.

The filmakers were gaga over the reels and what the women revealed. What is not revealed in this documentary are tidbits about their famous cousin Jacqueline Bouvier. No, this film is about her kin the Bouvier-Boyles. Her aunt married an upper crust British somebody. They live in a run-down mansion that was once a beautiful 28-room showplace where Jackie spent time.

In fact Jackie was forced to clean up the place because it was getting bad press from some affluent neighbors whose properties were pristine.

The Boyle’s badmouthed the media. Big Edith walks around or sits around barely clothed, and Little Edith wears sweaters or anything she can find to cover her head. We are unsure if she is bald or just wierd. The colors are fetching.

She wears the pants in the family on her head. She also wears sweaters as skirts knit together with kilt pins. Little Edith is hot and self-delusional about her vogue-look.

This doc is for the anglophile for sure.Composting a mesmerizing and hypnotic looksee at two lives without pretense or pretext.Coin rare these days with celebs.

It is ugly and it is pretty — especially the old photos and paintings of the women. In this short review I haven’t even mentioned the mess around the house. Hold your breath. It reeks of racoon droppings and a large litter of cats.

Jackie, we now know, was part Jewish but old Joe didn’t know it. Bouvier was not the real family name but Bouvier royalty as cachet was their claim to fame. If you are thinking that Jackie or footage about her are a part of this doc you would be wrong. While we may not see Jackie’s comely face we do see the striking resemblance she bears to aunt Edith.

I wonder how they are going to do the remake.

A Graveyard Ditty — MJ’s final Rehearsal

Rolling Stone gallery and a clip from Youtube at rehearsal.

Then there are the drugs, the very potent drugs found at his home. Propofol

Citing unidentified sources, TMZ said Tuesday the drug Propofol was found at Jackson’s rented mansion following his death from an apparent cardiac arrest last Thursday at the age of 50.

The website described the drug as an “extremely dangerous and potent” substance which was only available to medical personnel.

Wrapped up in MJ genius was an ignorance of biology in general and his own biological frailty in particular. Take the nose for instance. The nose has no bone to regrow. It is only cartilage which can never grow back. It has no blood supply. Once cut off, it does not regenerate. Hence MJs nose could fall in and did cave in and had to be fixed.

The second ignorance of biology he seemed to have is that when one works late hours and is done work of any kind by 1 or 2 in the morning it takes another 4 hours to come down from this physiology high of the body. It’s the natural wake state of the body. You can’t rush it. You can rush it if you are impatient and want to sleep NOW.

He wanted to be knocked out. He took the strongest drug in the world to sleep. That is the only way to fall asleep ASAP.

Then there was the doctor who was there to survey and guard his sleep. Why should someone watch him sleeping? The doctor was there on sleep watch for MJ. He noted no breathing.

How does this jibe with the photos and the videos on this post? He seemed wired up and ready to go. But that jibes with not being able to sleep after the release of all that energy. MJ couldn’t handle the energy. That takes control. But since MJ was unable to control the energy he turned to drugs. In the final analysis an angonist drug could have save him and his weak pulse.

Doctor Whodunit — told you so MJ OD

Now Heloise is on it! Not that, but the case. I told you MJ never woke up, right, I told you that this means that whatever was administered before he went “to sleep” is what killed him. Or whatever he took. It kept him from waking up, right on again.

I told you it was the doctor whodunit. If this IV drug, an anesthesia was administered IV only a doc could do it. Jackson is said to have “cravings” for anesthesia. I wonder why? Anesthesia is one of the most powerful narcotics on earth.

It was administered and MJ never woke up from it. He died in his sleep. He was in a “twilight” sleep. That’s what anesthesia is called. I still recall my feelings when I had anesthesia as a child, how pleasant it was. But if you’ve had surgery you know that anesthesia knocks you out.

I know women who died from anesthesia during childbirth because they threw up in their mouths and chocked on vomit. They never woke up either.

If a doctor did admin this killer drug that that is criminal neglect. Here’s the link from TMZ about the doc and the meds.

It’s called Apotheosis — god with a little g

Just tweet it. I just did. It’s called apotheosis Leonard. This is what MJ and others will reach, and then you die. But he will be back to master another ray.

Good article by Leonard Pitts, Jr.

Apotheosis is the term for what I and other calls god with a little g. That is the height of or culmination of many lifetimes. MJ went up to Sohang also known as “I am That” from the Bible. He went there, I know I took him there just days before he “died.” Gotta put that in quotes because only the physical body is left behind. And really not even that because we return looking like we did before.

That may be a problem for MJ since he changed his looks and somewhat changed his permanent DNA. He was trying to recapture his look in the days of Atlantis and Egypt. So in that sense it is acceptable.

But God don’t like that. Should not change the DNA if you can avoid it. That is how he will know you and knows you from the day of your creation which was eons before your birth.

GMA UK Eyewitness Tells of MJ’s final rehearsal

The GMA account by a witness who was at the last rehearsal MJ did for the concert start says that Jackson was singing and was told to hold his voice back since it was just a run through. He looked thin but was moving and dancing. He got to the center really late, like nearly 3 hours late.

But he was doing it. So what happened between then and his not waking up the next morning? Appearances must have been deceptive.

I think he must have had some manic days when he could fly and some depressive low days wherein he could barely move. Just like JFK he needed drugs to keep going.

Mail Nails MJ’s Final Days

Mail Onlineconfirms that MJ was nearly bald, greying, and had lund erosion so serious he could not sing.

Where’s the grey MJ? Look fans no grey. Why because he had multiple wigs. I get it. I called it too. The autopsy report has much merit.

Did he have a fatal lung disease? Was he suicidal? He seemed to be courting a death wish. No one has habits in a vacuum. If he liked boys, he did not just like ONE little boy he liked, well boys, many many. That is addictive behavior, so is drug use. It’s all addictive. That means one can’t stop. I know I was addicted to ice cream. I had to give it up to not be fat. I can’t bring it in the house. So I am an occasional ice creamer.

But there are more serious addictions out there. And MJ seemed to have a plethora of them.

We feel your pain MJ.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has put cap-and-trade legislation on a forced march through the House, and the bill may get a full vote as early as Friday. It looks as if the Democrats will have to destroy the discipline of economics to get it done.

Despite House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman’s many payoffs to Members, rural and Blue Dog Democrats remain wary of voting for a bill that will impose crushing costs on their home-district businesses and consumers.

A Bald Michael Jackson Weighs a Mere 112 pounds at death

Here is MJ ambulance photo really his death photo–cause he’s dead when taken. MJ was dead before he was dead based on the reports in the autopsy.

He weighed 8st per UK but this equals about 115 pounds, well below the normal weight for a man his height. He should have been at least 135-150 pounds. He had pills in his stomach, and as I suspected he was bald as an egg. He had been wearing a wig, probably for some time now.

Could he still sing? Probably not. Could he make the concerts he had no will to live. He also had a lousy doctor. CPR teaches you put patient first on a hard surface. I asked in an earlier post — why was he STILL in bed?

Heloise you’re too smart

MJ’s life in lies

What a tangled weave MJ has worn. Michael Jackson –loved his music but hated his lies. So, this morning I came up with MJ’s life in lies. What lies has he told, bold face, let me count just a few of them:

First of all he does not seem to eat or drink. He may imbibe alcohol, that’s been exposed by the kids, excuse the pun. The plastic surgery came first. His very first nose was okay. Why didn’t he stop there like the rest of his siblings. Yes, Janet had her nose fixed, and so did the other sister and brothers…no doubt.

My students once nicknamed me “Michael Jackson” because my hair looked just like his 1980s hair. But I told them my perfect features were real, no plastic surgery.

Then more surgeries followed. More lies about them. It’s not that we begrudge him the surgery it was TOO MUCH. Overload came when he started getting whiter before our eyes. White yes, white, not vitiligo. Did he have vitiligo? I also went to university with a black female student who had the disease. She died before her 21st birthday, and was in a wheelchair.

Where to put the lies about his love of children in the Greek sense. He was a lover of young boys, meaning of pedophile. Does not have to be sexual, but it usually is. He lied about his obsession with boys to himself and tried to feed us a troughful of those same lies. We did not buy it– again too much.

I think the pills and the pedophilia were connected and may have started about the same time. They feed each other so to speak. Black magic, MJ’s brand of black magic was not germane to him. It is universal.

Did he have it….I don’t think so. Then the skin gets white and black people get mad. We are mad that this man is white and wants to be white. White folks ripped him off big time, too bad.

The biggest lie I think was the paternity of the kids. He DID NOT use his own sperm. The kids are white. The youngest may be part black or biracial, but none of them are MJ’s. Think of the story if he showed up at a fertility lab. What did Debbie do? She went where they inseminated livestock. She may have put the sperm up there herself.

Artificial insemination is pricey. She went the cheap route and MJ told a bunch of cheap lies.

The hair, did I say hair? He wore a wig for years. After the accident he had a scar that was bald over his ear. So he now has a permanent bald spot, large one.

He was vain about his hair. He wore weave for a while then went to wigs. The hair the big hair also came later. It is not his hair. At some point, I think after the super-white MJ made his debut he then dons the white hair, the super-white hair. It looks Japanese but it sure ain’t black. But one thing about MJ was black — his magic.

He was adept at black magic. His music flowed from it. That’s why it was so great. But move over MJ because in your death you have cleared a path for the white magicians. I don’t mean skin color. Tupac too aspired to be a white magician, but fell short.

MJ we love you but we hate your lies. The days of individuals creating an evil cocoon just for their own selfish Atlantean pleasures is over, dead, will never wake up again. The day of the white magician, the group is at hand. Let’s welcome it, awaken it. It lives.

Update: realizing that MJ completely devoid of melanin and taking a drug that stops the production of same…I had a thought: did this cause or contribute to his overwhelming insomnia? There are many clinical causes, but if melanin and melatonin are connected then there’s the rub. No melanin, no sleep. Not sure the connection but I am going to research it.

It adds to another lie he had vitiligo. Not buying it. He used strong drugs and peels to peel away layers of his hatred for himself and his blackness. He and his family are dark skinned. And as such the children from them would be dark or brown. If mixed with white then olive or yellow skinned, but not white, light but not white.

And yes you can tell parentage by phenotype.

Doctor confirms what I told you “Jackson never woke up”

MJ never woke up, never got out of bed, and CPR was done while he was in bed by the doctor. I told you so. Here is USA today report from doc interview. The person should always be on a hard flat surface. Excuses, excuses from the doctor. He wouldn’t be my doctor, no way.

When a person is not breathing, you call 911 first and do CPR while they are on the way. But they did it the other way around. Did CPR, incorrectly for some thirty minutes and while there was another person there who could have called, did not ASAP.

Geraldo thinks he smells a rat. Ditto.This leaves some sad conclusions: MJ killed for the insurance on his 50 tours. He was livid about the number of tours, so would I be. When a partner dies conveniently and money is involved, suspect the significant other first.

Jeff Goldblum Lives, But Billy Mays Is Dead

You may not recognize the name Billy Mays, but you will recognize the brand — Oxiclean. He pitched it for years in his own special bearded burly way.

He died after a bumpy flight that may have left a bump on his head. No autopsy or word yet on cause of death.

I think we have had our three big names to die though: Fawcett, Johnny Carson’s sidekick, and of course MJ.

I told you so — Jack-o not daddy-o

A UK reporter interviews Debbie Rowe about the paternity of Prince and Paris.

I know way too many multi-racial people to have believed that MJ was the daddy. A peculiar DNA thing happens with the first child in a biracial genetic pool. The first child of that pool usually looks more black. Subsequent children will “whiten up” to use a crude phrase. And if MJ and his sperm created three separate kids of the three one might look really white, the other two would be clearly black, but fair with wavy hair. Or more like a “typical” African American.

For the same reason that I can spot an African from an AA is the same way that you can distinguish the subtle differences in melanges as the French call them.

Here’s a quote from what Debbie had to say:

Debbie said she was “impregnated” like one of the thoroughbred mares she now keeps on her property, adding: “I was just the vessel. It wasn’t Michael’s sperm.

“I got paid for it, and I’ve moved on. I know I will never see my children again.”

Blonde Debbie, now 50, spoke out at the ranch in California where she lives as a virtual recluse surrounded by dozens of animals.

And she revealed the strange true story behind her relationship with the Thriller icon, who she married in 1996 and divorced three years later. It included details of how:

JACKSON never had sex with her throughout their marriage and parenthood;

And if you listen closely to the 2003 MJ interview you will hear that the kids were a gift from Debbie. He did also lie and say that his sperm was the donor, but that was to keep up appearances.

He just wanted kids. That’s what men who have problems letting go of their childhood often want. Was he a pedophile? It seems so. That fits the pattern too. If he had been convicted of the crime before the kids he may have lost them from that time.

IMHO MJ NEVER WOKE UP!

Big death on a small planet is what we’ve learned here. But U heard it here first — Michael Jackson never woke up the day he died.

Why was Michael Jackson in bed?

I’ve spent nearly 20 years in intimate contact with musicians. I know them well. And if you are music then bedtime is often when the rest of us are just getting out of bed.

Timeline anyone?

The 911 caller states that MJ collapses vers 12:36 pm PT. Wait a damn second — did he ever wake up and get out of bed? Heloise don’t think so.

When did dr feelgood inject MJ before he went to bed or before he never woke up?

Redux

David C was found dead hanging in a closet,Heath found dead sprawled out on the floor but was MJ really found dead in his bed? I think so!

The Doctor Whodunit

Oh boy, MJ’s doctor in residence fled the mansion and left his car behind. This is becoming a doctor whodunit. See my other posts Prescription for Death. The doc is now a person of interest. Is he from Texas? The news here said something like that. Jackson owed one pharmacy 100,000 for drugs.

If he had spinal and bone pain, that’s a bad pain, almost unbearable. The problem is that it is easy to start but damn hard to stop taking the drugs. The King of Pop was afraid to die like the King. His fear got the best of him. He did not beat IT — the addiction.

Heloise

Who will get Paris and Prince?

Who will get and whose kids are they really? Not buying that these are MJ’s biological kids, not convinced. Another good example is look at OJ who looks less black than MJ and his kids don’t look anywhere near as white as MJ’s.

Anyhow, I digress: Photos of Paris and Prince but damn I have to ask — are these really his blood/DNA children?

For me the question of paternity looms large as in was there a double surrogate used here? I don’t think they are his kids really. I have too many relatives who are like 2% black and they look like Paris and Prince. But when the dad is black, I am not buying it. The kids would look way more black.

Just look at Barack and others where the dad is black, the kids will look black in most cases.

But who will get the kids, and what killed him and how did he get 1/2 billion dollars in debt?

Prescription for death — What the autopsy will find

Jackson rocks, Michael was music, but the king was stoned while he rocked.

Just as I suspected — Heath Ledger redux. Jackson may have been addicted to drugs, pain killers, speed, administered by a doctor, a doctor feel good. Sound familiar? JFK too took speed.

But Jackson probably didn’t eat, and if he was still a vegetarian then he had low blood pressure likely.

Based on the 911 call the doctor was there and he had administered demerol to Jackson one hour before the call. If Jackson was getting up late in the day, probably, then he basically died in his sleep or just thereafter.

I’ve posted the 911 call. It’s irresponsible on the part of those who were in the house.

Michael Jackson — In Debt and In Death

Bad reports as well as great tributes are coming in about the King. He was in half a billion dollar debt and he died abusing prescription drugs, probably pain killers. That explains his incoherent look and act at the time of the trial.

Jackson’s Death Photo

I am using an if/then reasoning for this blog post. If he was not breathing after cardiac arrest and did not come back to life/breathing then he was already dead when photo was taken. If this 911 call is true then this is his death photo. Because he was resuscitated for nearly an hour after he arrived at UCLA RRMC, by docs, it means that he was already dead. They would have brought him back from death or the light.

So his last photo he is wearing a mask!

Michael Jackson’s Kids “look ma no masks!” updated

Update: In another blog I wrote that I too believe that MJ was NOT the father of the children based on decades and hundreds of observations of biracial children and the multi racial folks in my own family. Now this from a UK source — interview with Debbie Rowe selling all that many suspected – Jacko is not the daddyo. I think that I why I was never truly interested in his kids, well because they weren’t his kids.

MJ’s (blackplanet link) kids sans masks. Do they even look like MJ? Not really. The mom’s were white but the kids should have more color or look more like him. Have to wonder as an anthropologist and genetic student.

I don’t see the resemblance especially in light of the fact that kids tend to look way more like the dad than mom. Where are the big noses? Hmm, not sure either.

Burqas are out,full faces are in but not so w/ MJ’s 2 kids. Recall the masks they wore to the zoo–of all places?

With the loss of their dad maybe now they will lose the mask.

He is said to be in cardiac arrest. If someone does not get attention in 3-5 minutes post cardiac arrest (heart stops)then the outcome is not good. IOW he could be already brain dead. This is more serious than a heart attack. I just found this final photo of Jackson. His body came in via fire truck and left via helicopter to the coroner’s office. No star treatment for this star.

JFK and the 6th Floor Museum in Dallas

 After a five-year procrastination, I do that well, I found myself at a teacher conference literally 3 blocks from the 6th floor museum. You know the one that is preserved as it was the day that that man went to the 6th floor from his perch overlooking a now-grown live oak and took his best shot.

While I only went to the museum store, I was getting my nerves up, it did make me nervous. I bought the Warhol Jackie magnet and a couple of postcards from that day. One I bought I thought especially apropos JFK in Fort Worth addressing a group be fore he went to Dallas.

After all he had spent the night in Fort Worth, TX not far from where I live now. And one day it dawned on me that this was the last city in this country that he spent a day and a night, the last.

While in the museum I got to talking to myself. There was a ruler with all the presidents on it, including Obama. I looked at the pic of JFK and was about to buy it but said out loud, duh, that’s a terrible picture of me. This woman standing next to me heard me. I tried to cover up. I am so used to talking to myself with no one around. I just shook my head and said I was talking to myself. I think she said something like your not on there, or something.

Media is plural okay. Medium is singular. And MSM means all forms of medium, print, mags and newsprint, Web, video, radio, TV, cable news etc. That’s media. If you were trying to single out the medium of print then say that the print media is giving Obama a free ride, end of story. Or, that (this is not true) the media or the MSM is giving Obama a free ride.

Heloise comments on the health care debacle

Your metaphors are improving I see.

You skip unemployment numbers and skim the economy. Implicit of course is that they are knotted together. But I think that is the biggest bone of contention if there is any, with voters. They want jobs…now. The rest is laniappe (sp).

On Iran, I advised Obama to do nothing when in doubt. I don’t know whose advice he is following but it sounds like the Buddha’s to me.

Can’t we just let other countries have the semblance of self-direction? Of turning the sails where they see fit? Mousavi has already said he is prepared to be a martyr. Should Obama endorse that too?

Leave them alone and they will come home. Come home to true democracy? I don’t think so. Democracy is for the highly evolved…even we have not mastered it.

As for health care: I’ve started writing about that too. I call it shaken doctor syndrome and medical fault lines because the “whys” of its opposition are underground.

We can keep up the pretense that this is the best health care system in the world, but for whom? I worked in it for 10 long years and it’s all about the doctors and growing bigger medical centers. I live in a hospital district and Childrens, Baylor and Harris are building like there is no tomorrow. Who or what’s going to pay for that? Are they expecting a money bloom?

A well-run charity hospital in every large community actually would do nicely. But many in CA were closed when the illegals over-used them. Like I said, the true reasons behind the health care debacle are underground.

Apples Don’t have livers

Steve Jobs had a liver transplant. No one has a perfect life don’t you know. Karma will out. Somewhere along the line Jobs lost his liver and had to have replacement. Apple stock has been recovering too. He looks like he’s been in a concentration camp or a Jewish ghetto. We know that’s not the case, but perhaps it was a part of your past life.

I know from medical background that the liver rejection suppression drugs are really tough. So, he may not look better for a while. What’s the life expectancy for a rich man with a poor liver? Not sure, but he had the best care money could buy. There’s the medical rub. America does have the best health care that money or non-money can buy.

Don’t unpaint my words. I mean every one of them. The rich get better, the poor just get.

We hope you get better Steve and keep rolling out more phones and tunes.

Obama’s Heloispeak

I was listening to a recent interview on Iran and Obama was talking about our plans. He used two signature sayings from my writing “trotted out” and “foil” two in a few sentences. Whoa! Keep it up Obama. Maybe you did not read the articles directly but a whole bunch of people did and it has trickled down. That’s funny. But only one of many.

What makes Heloispeak unique? Two things: it’s the word choice preferred by the highly educated, and two many of the words or phrases are a bit archaic and Heloise has revived them. Another example is “savvy” a word popular back in the 60s but after I used it the word is back. Talking heads was a group. I’d forgotten that but I remember it and used it to describe Lions for Lambs the movie, and voila it’s everywhere or a version of it.

Yes, I could write a book on word revival. More island music.

I just googled until I am blue in the face and even went to bing and no birth place or city of birth for Mark Levin. Where were you born Mark? Where were your parents born?

Iran’s Khamenei Plays The Trump Card — death to defiers

Huffpo is still live blogging the uprising in Iran. It’s all about Khamenei. He wears the turban in Iran. He holds the trump card. And he has played it, well, or not so well. 

That said, the emails I’m receiving give a sense of deep trepidation — and fear — over Khamenei’s threats.

I am in Sweden and have so many iranian students around me. Today everybody was desperate after hearing Khamenei’s speach. They didn’t expect the leader to come to their side, but to search for a little more time and give a more ambiguous speach to the country. Now nobody knows what will happen, but they know that it will be bloody: either people will stop the uprising, in which case there there will be so much violence and arrests towards the people, or they will try to overthrow all the system, in which case there will be a bloody revolution, successful or unsuccessful. It is not so clear what people want to do now. My girlfriends’ parents in Tehran say they think people will give up. Nobody wants to die, with families still remembering the 1979 revolution and the Iran-Iraq war. But it all depends also on Moussavi-Kathami-Karroubi-Rafsanjani and what they will say. Are they ready to wage war to the country? The hope of everybody is in an internal split in the leadership, the deposition of Khamenei, or at least some big sectors of army joining the people, but everybody agrees this will be very difficult to realize. From Huffpo link.

The people of Iran are afraid of this guy. And with good reason. He has threatened death to defiers. He has told the protesters where to go and it ain’t to the movies. There will be no Christmas in Iran-ville.

What I learned from the Holocaust

I am reading many books this summer. Most of them are about ghetto life during the Holocaust. When they move the peoples or groups it reminds one of the crimes that killers do. The experts always warn never go to the second scene or allow yourself to be moved by the perp, especially by a car.

This is crucial. The Nazis continually moved the Jews from place to place, ghetto to ghetto, train to train and finally from train to truck where many were gassed. Also from train to showers where many were gassed, all were burnt.

If you still don’t know what really happened to Anne Frank then I’ll tell you. She and her family were in a camp after they were discovered or sold to the Nazis. They were there about 3 weeks before being moved to Bergen-Belsen. Camp liberation was around the corner. She and her sister had the lice and the sores and succumbed to typhus just weeks before the end.

They were either buried or burnt after their deaths. Margo died first.

In Cup of Tears the author Abraham Levin wrote about the ghetto in Warsaw for a year and a half. I was looking for Roman Polanski’s Krakow ghetto but could not find accounts of it, like the Warsaw ones. Levin wrote up until he too was caught up in one of the last great transports to Treblinka. He was into the gas chambers and into the ovens before he could say a prayer.  Polish Jewry was no more.

If anyone knows of accounts of Krakow ghettos let me know. They are rarer.

People believe that only their people are great and wonderful and sainted. Why don’t we extend that to other groups and races? That’s what I learned from Cup of Tears but already knew as an anthropologist.

Good job Grey’s.

Shonda saw the writing on the scrubs and was not giving George much grist.

The actor’s exit closes yet another rocky chapter for the embattled primetime soap, one that opened with Isaiahgate and worsened when, amid rumors that Knight was clashing with series creator Shonda Rhimes, George O’Malley was backburnered. Finally, Knight grew so fed up with his character’s lack of storyline that he asked if he could check out three years before his deal expired. After that, all indications were that he would be let go, although Rhimes didn’t make a final decision until recently. (Contractually speaking, she had until June 30 to make up her mind.)

Last month, Rhimes told me that George’s relatively light storyline this year was the result of the normal “ebbs and flows” of ensemble television. from EW above link

Some of the blog’s best-read sections, which on occasion attracted half a million readers a week, were anecdotes about cases on which Mr Horton had worked. The people and places were made anonymous and details changed, but they could still be traced back to real prosecutions.

He was anonymously airing public knowledge sans admitting he had insider vision. A judge ruled against him. He cannot remain anonymous. His superiors will be livid. He claims he changed things around. But here’s the rub he never admitted online that he was an insider. That’s not fair Jack.

Chaz is a big (wo)man with a little girlfriend

Gape at TMZ’s hot-off-the web photos of Chaz and girlfriend. She’s a big woman with a little man, or a big man with a little woman. I’m confused. Chaz is jazzing it up TMZ-style i while out and about with him girlfriend. Chaz is in a state of transition and we are in a state of confusion.

But that is par for the operation course and sex-change venue. The road that Chastity is about to travel. But really you have to ask yourself, if you were to interview Chaz or Chastity, whichever one came to the interview, did you just wake up one morning look in the mirror and say eh gads I am old, fat and big for a woman, why not be a man?

It looks like that’s what she’s thinking.

But Chaz has a girlfriend who will be with a LGBT.

The “Spook” Who Sat In The White House

My definition of racism and prejudice is quite simple: when a person of another race goes out of their way to remind you that you are not white or whatever. This is a classic example of that.

And the same thing with sexism. When a man goes out of his way to put a woman into the category of a hoe, bitch or slut, then that’s a crime.

Shaken Doctor Syndrome

Doctors are booing Obama. The docs and the AMA are shaking in the wind. OB AMA, interesting the AMA is contained in his name and so is OB, which is shorthand for obstetrics. But what the docs are handing out is obstruction by way of the AMA.

The doctors were only Obama’s first house call. He’ll be making his case to the other groups — and to the nation at large — in an increasingly energetic campaign to get a bill passed by the end of his first year in office.

 

AMA insiders shouldn’t have been surprised by Obama’s upfront refusal to consider malpractice caps.

 

The group couldn’t get that idea passed by a Republican Congress and president a few years ago. Some states have such curbs, but anyone who can count votes knows the chances for national limits are slim to none with Democrats in charge of Congress

I am getting the feeling that doctors are gonna rise up in great numbers and oppose universal health care directly and oppose President Obama indirectly. They are gonna oppose the man who would kill the goose (pay through the nose health care) that laid the golden egg (million-dollar paydays).

Socialized medicine is an egg all right. But doctors must beware of a populist backlash brewing if they stand in the way of this mandate. The docs are shaking their fists, and people are shaking their heads over how this will work.

Overall, I see doctors in my crystal ball and what I see, I cannot say, but it ain’t pretty.

Bad Polls + Bad People = Formula for Coup in Iran?

Time is looking at a global fallout from this election.

Protesters outraged by what they believe was a rigged poll continued braving police charges and a government ban on public gatherings to denounce the outcome. Opposition candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who is under what is effectively house arrest, demanded that the suspect result be scrapped and new elections be held. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei has ordered an investigation into claims of electoral fraud.

For this pol, the numbers simply don’t add up. Mousavi was up 67%, then loses by 67%? That’s a problem.  The powers that be in Iran want us to believe that this is a simple case of bad polls, but the face of Iran and the world believe it is a strong case of bad people behind good numbers that came in for Mousavi.

What bothers, is that this is the formula for a coup. The dissenters are shouting in the streets “Death to the dictator.” Nice. It also make Iran’s President a target for a kill. There are folks mad enough to push a mad man I mean Ahmadinejad’s over the precipice.

Jump, Bump and Grind(er)

Heloise is back from Austin, Tx the hometown to Wes. He may very well be the front runner. Last week Jillian was fuming. This week — Jillian crying, while wearing a cute coat.

Tonight’s show started in the snow with a jump. There was some bumping and kissing with a few. Then it happened. Ed from Chicago (my hometown) puts Jillian through the meat grinder. She was really hurt and let down. Man, I thought he was going to stay. But Ed flew the coop. He’s now in the pig trough.

Ed the IT guy from Chicago had to bow out. But not before Jillian cried all over him, out in the snow and all alone. She liked Ed, I liked Ed for her. Who is left to fill Ed’s shoes and who will fail in the bedroom next week?

Jillian gets crushed next week when one of the men she looked forward to getting it on with, gets a bad grade in the bedroom. Is that a sign? I think so. I’ve only met a few losers who lost it, in the bedroom and I kicked them to the curb. Would have thrown them under the bus, but that was not necessary. No, a simple click of the phone is clean and less bloody.

It’s funny, now with Ed’s departure from the show I don’t see designs on any one of the remainders left. Michael is cute, Wes is hot, the others kinda fade in the shade and blend in with the snow. They just don’t stand out. I too noticed Ed. Oh, Jillian I feel your pain. Ed might have been the one. Will he come back?

Hold on Jillian Ed’s coming back — I hope.

Obamaphobia — do you have it?

If you are glued to the radio, gushing over every adjective, verb and noun pronounced by Mark Levin, Hannity or Rush then you probably have a fear of Obama. I call it Obamaphobia. It is an unnatural fear. I mean what is there to fear?

He’s only president and look what all a president can’t do. A president can’t make us safe, ala 9-11, a president can’t keep us out of war, witness Iraq and Afghanistan. A president can’t fix our financial future, see SEC; a president can’t keep our money in the bank where it belongs; see The Madoff Affair. A president can’t hold a hurricane back and keep it from rushing our shorelines, destroying everything in sight and displacing a million people, recall Katrina.

No, a measly old president can’t do a damn thing but sit on his butt, fly around in Air Force One and wave from the Whitecap (presidential helicopter). He can play some mean rounds of golf or basketball if you prefer and he can hug and pose for photo ops. A president can do all that, but no more. Yes, that’s all folks.

Coup d’etat under way in Iran?

This liveblog from Iran is scary it’s also ironic. It was predicted would happen here if Obama did not win, he won, we did not burn it down.

The right wingnuts rail against assessing any import to this election because the president of Iran means nothing. Nothing, right. Because it is run by the mullas. The mullas might be rioting in the street too. We were dancing in the street but the Iranians are burning the streets.

Ahmadinejad Won — What Now?

Yeah, the big guy wins big and is claiming victory. And victory sure is sweet even if he did steal the candy.

Iran: Who Won? Who Cares?

It seems like Ahmadinejad has won election again. They are both claiming victory but seems sure that the dude with the long name won.

Cher to Chastity: “I got this!”

Who will pay for Cher’s own Chastity to have a sex change operation? My guess is that it is Cher. Even if she has insurance I don’t think it’s covered. Do you?

Anyway, Chastity Bono is going to be a bonafide male specimen. In college I’ve watched, yes, actually watched a sex change operation. It was a man transitioning to a woman. So they cut off his penis and stuff it up the cavity and voila, he was a woman. Oh they must have cut off his testicles too. It was pretty graphic.

How does a woman shift gears to a man? Not sure. I think it’s all in the blood supply to a phake penis they will craft from something or other. I am sure there are surgeries online to see this if you just have to watch.

Andrew Breitbart — The Gay Jew With a Plan

Breitbart.com is the latest creation from the creator of Huffpo, or one of them. He is a proud queen. And a Polish-Jew who touts himself as a conservative. Many of Heloise’s articles from bc were picked up by Breitbart.com and distributed all over the Web…thank you for that.

But he is cracking under the weight of his own celebrity . Dailykos has this video segment wherein he engages in ad hominen attacks on everybody. He wants to know why the Von Brunn should be a Right wingnut instead of a left wingnut. Von Brunn hates conservatives, therefore he is a lefty, doesn’t wash with me.

Andy, can I call you that? Is also cannibalizing his own Polish Jewish people. Andy is a Hollywood hater but Hollywood rose from the ashes of the Holocaust. See how many letters they have in common? This guy really does not know what he is, so he’s gay. Oh boy.

Tankless Water Heaters

I have a green tip–tankless water heaters. You need to know that all models are not certified. I did buy a Noritz which is certified and for which you can take an income tax credit.

It should be installed indoors (more expensive need special vents) and if outdoors it should have a protective box with a lock on it.

Upkeep, there are a few. The main one being dissolving the mineral buildup from hard water. And that you must use vinegar to clear it up once a year. However, my installer told me he wanted 175.00 to service it! I went to Wal mart and found a siphon pump for less than 10 bucks. It has to have an intake and and output. I’ll let you know how it works.

So far I love it. I now use the high heat temp on my dishwasher and get the dishes cleaner. My last gas bill was $7.00.  I have not even discussed the savings. Plus in Texas it gets hot in the summer. And that heater was heating up the house and the a/c had to work harder. Mine was in the kitchen.

Research and use only installers with experience. For a normal home one tank will do and the whole deal should not cost you more than 3,000 dollars.

Iran, You Rock — Too close to call

Iran needs a win and a winner, yes they do. Will Mahmoud, the Holocaust denier win or his popular rival Mousavi?

In the absence of reliable independent opinion polls, experts predicted yesterday that Mir Hossein Mousavi, the moderate “green” candidate, would probably beat the controversial incumbent so long as the result was not rigged.

The election polls are not rock solid as the ones in this country, but it looks as if Mousavi has pulled away from MA and has enough votes to win. But wait, they have rounds in their elections. And MA could win the first round. And if Ahmandinejad won the first rouind the people might think that it’s over and not come out in change-record-breaking numbers.

He needs to get a super majority in order to prevail and for the populism of the country to sweep hin into office. I predicted that Iran needs not only a change and a win but a winner to change it.

Will Iran see the sun today, or will it see its shadow?
