Soapbox View Tis The Political Season Of “THE AMERICAN PEOPLE” May 9, 2012
Grapple with infinity when we can't command mortality? It's not funny these war statistics were always true. Destruction of the person within. Mind is a terrible thing to waste.
A Note For Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, 2014
There was a time bars were life's center. The country's Founding Fathers convened there ironing out discussions. A tradition worthy of respect. Still, I don't drink but didn't leave and sat on the brick planter of small palms by the entrance. Watching kids pass as young adults.
Political celebrities don't meet in bars anymore. Doubtful their prestige dips lower than dining where alcohol isn't served to avoid the stigma of mixing with average citizens. Though they'll eat anywhere when it's a campaign, one imagines that should hold true for the rest of the year raising money. But you just know it's more regal than that. A high price on stage perpetually.
I thought some election season. Forget message. It's always as if no one knows what to think without hype.
Then the patrol cop pulled through reminding me no one's allowed to "loiter outside bars anymore" either. As if we ever were?
Smug cloaked imperialism?
It's official. Yesterday, November 12th. So, Mr. President? Listen, echoing in the wilderness. "There'll always be an asterisk * Reclaimed Soviet Territory."
Sure, grin, Mr. President. But this business rehabilitating Soviet honor is a loose canon and you're just one of the dudes pulling the trigger.
If you could only get out of yourself a bit, Mr. President. Here, read this.
Yes it could help if more hypocritical walls came down. For instance the smoke and mirrored West's finger pointed at Putin State cronyism reflexively deflects our own close business associated politics? It is reality.
My point for understanding as the Veteran's Day Note above suggests, is staunch American nationalism's innocent naiveness excuses President Putin's hysterical patriotism. It's time everyone learned "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" are better than manipulative celebrations.
Because essentially politics requires a shorthand to influence people and Russia's successfully spun imagery of a positive return to Soviet tactics. Boggling the mind, the man burning files in East Germany when the Berlin Wall fell is now adjusting for old grudges. Seriously. Many have written your legacy won't catch up. You had, have, to be tough? Idiots can do tough. Do better.
To nitpick, your childhood karate friend competitively! controls Russia's textbook market. The New York Times, November 1st, Putin's Friend Profits in Purge of Schoolbooks by Jo Becker and Steven Lee Myers.
True. Why wouldn't authoritarianism Mach II be hype? Plus nothing happens without well thought out conspiracies can excuse most anything. No one's saved the environment making personal calls on their house phone.
Who knows? Semi-benevolent despotism is the best anyone expects? Control requires a delicate authoritarianism? Democratic or not? The case the world over. Why Americans are at the throats of the American Court System every day defining fine lines in justice. Maybe there's no way out of the world's messy intrigues? Because there's really nothing to replace ambition's congestion churning out the desperate at phenomenal rates. Children who were probably just never read to by their parents. Given that most critical head start.
Is free competition a hoax? President Putin? No matter how twisted no one runs from history.
For many months this item was transferred to the next essay. So why not now? We're either fixing the Criminal Enterprise System or not? I don't necessarily excuse prostitution. But, for objectiveness sake, if curious, take a gander at these takes from this 1970s police precinct tv sitcom satire.

Ham, the drummer left, dispatched my first day at Elite Couriers and the trombonist behind him wailed. I lived around the corner and saw them play both Paddy Reilly's. I vote St. Patrick's reunions.
To political cacophony?
