"Even brute beasts and wandering birds do not fall into the same traps or nets twice."
Saint Jerome (not the patron saint of hunters?)

aloha again, had breakfast and got up another head of steam.here we go...

1. as a sign of his lack of judgment my youngest son (Aspergers) has some sort of job in Utah, the klan meeting disguised as a state. the Book of Mrmon declares blacks to be subhumans, the Mark of Cain or some such nonsense.letsa see if i remember this right, in upstate new york in the mid 1860s Joseph Smith was told by the angel Moroni (I Moron?) ,in a dream, to dig up gold tablets which had the Book of Mormon inscribed on them-in English apparently.so he dug up the tablets,wrote down the4 contents then reburied them SO THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD SEE THEM! the most Bitter Man I Ever Met was a GAY MORMON FROM UTAH. his soul was actually corroded by the hatred he'd encountered, good luck to you Merrill!

2. i finally figured it out.
Oliver Twist or some other Dickens novel was playing on TV as i channel surfed by and i realized that A PERFECT WORLD BY GOP STANDARDS would fall somewhere between Charles Dickens and Jack the Ripper-debtors prisons,alms houses,sprawling slums, no social safety nets,no public education,filthy starving lice and vermin infested beggars tugging at the silken coat tails of the uber rich. think about okay?

3. my friend GURA in Geezerville send me a YOUTUBE trailer for TAPPED about our bottled water addiction.me, i haved used stainless steel bottles for years now, gave my youngest one a bottle but he THREW IT AWAY ofr his own obscure reasons. a perfectly good $20 bottle too...speaking of YOUTUBE VAN JONES apparently once called the GOP assh*les in response to a question (just saw it on CNN) so the Big Smear began and now he has been forced out as Green Jobs advisor. my SOUL MATE- PC CASSANDRA is addicted to CSPAN and VAN JONES was one of the few people on it who i could watch without flinching,local boy makes good then is sacrficed on the alter of BIPARTISAN COMPROMISE...SIGH.

4.ELIOT SPITZER was on CNN today, before he was a comedy dirty joke punchline he crusaded against Wall Street greed and warned of the impact on the nation.Remember that? just a coincidence that he met his downfall,dressed in only black socks and a hard on, while there were still billions to be scammed. shades of J Edgar and Nixon's Enemies List but as Da Prez sez WE'RE LOOKING FORWARDS, NOT BACKWARDS.History will record us as the fools we are...

5. i was half asleep from a large breakfast but i think i heard that 3300 people committed suicide in KALIpornia last year (check out the NAMI site on sidebar) and only about 550 people have died of swine flu so far, guess where the money is going.SM got an armload of CDs talking about the $50 billion to be made from the vaccine scare. i've got something here on the floor with more details which i hope to blog about later.just keep your eyes and ears open okay? don't do anything rash (or pimply?)

6.Afghanistan...the Mongols conquered it by piling up severed heads higher than the castle walls, nobody else has succeeded since. the BBC and even NPR have reported massive fraud and ballot box stuffing. this is the democracy our peeps are fighting and dying for? opium/heroin production is down abot 5% so now they only account for 90% of the worlds output SIGH. the BBC reports that the Talibasn only conrols 2-3% of the opium trade, they banned it altogether when they ruled, and the rest in controlled by various warlords and transient allies...this is so much like Columbia and the Golden Triangle during the Viet Nam fiasco that i can't stand it.
WILL WE NEVER LEARN?
HOW MUCH OF OUR BLOOD IS CHEAP OIL WORTH?

i think that's it, gotta go pick up some pills to keep me going a bit longer. have turned down an invitation to the Greek Festival downtown, SM and her crew are going later today.her union is part of a LABOR DAY PICNIC tomorrow and i have to make a large sign for HOMECARE WORKERS (these earthly angels).

PS my friends are starting to refer to me as 'charles.com' or affectionately as 'that terrorist blogger CHARLES'...I LIKE IT!!!!!!

PS2 PAGANI-I LOVE YOUR FANTASY! sigh...
