No Respite From Molded Public Opinion Game

1995 Vitriolic Email from Provocative Mega-Celebrity ____ _______, co-starring TRAYVON MARTIN

  Noting here earlier that pity and sympathy should have a role in the thinking of everyone who has so far survived the Absolutely Tragic Trayvon Martin Case, tonight’s scheduled appearance by the defendent, Mr. Zimmerman, on The Sean Hannity Show is a disappointment from its’ obvious calculation as a preaching to the choir affair. As a life-long Republican it’s been my position to not honor the bogusly contrived decades-long conservative vs. liberal politically convenient clap-trap. 

  So for a moment, at least, put the tragedy aside and read this sidebar about the joke that’s continuously made out of American political opinion. 

  In 1995, before the World-Wide-Web came to dominate public use of the Internet, I was on the provider Prodigy platform and saw a notice from a Georgia radio personality announcing his exclusive Saturday night interview on, the cable channel, MSNBC, where he would interview the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich, and Mr. Hannity was soliciting any questions people might want to ask. So I wrote out my spiel, first voiced in 1978 while talking to my liberal Russian History professor John Evans whose brother was conservative columnist Roland Evans of CNN’s Evans and Novak.

  I’d said the conservative movement seems to be developing more out of creating jobs for themselves rather than just because of the realistic complaint the press was overly liberal which was no doubt true to an extent. 

  So my submitted question, to Sean, recited how conservatism as presented as an anti-liberal point of view was slightly contrived by defining itself as opposite a liberalism that actually evolved from opposing insensitive state domination, in the form of George Bernard Shaw’s 19th Century Fabian Society, rather than the gibberish made of the idea by defining the public as slaves of the State that’s been conveniently exploited by both political parties for its’ simplicity as our political process has been too lazy to mature past this simple formula that they’ve rested in bed together with basically over a century so far. 

 

  So I watched on that Saturday night as Newt and Sean figuratively patted each other on the back for the solid half-hour show, literally telling each other how they were such good Americans without ever considering asking a submitted question by the audience as Sean had requested. So Monday morning at the office I fired off a slightly disrespectful e-mail of criticism for his obviously ignoring any audience opinion whatsoever, while being very specific that my being ignored was inconsequential. 

  Then, maybe an hour later, I received a form e-mail asking how much I enjoyed Sean’s Saturday night interview with the Speaker. So I rattled off an expanded diatribe again noting the least he could have done was ask something submitted by the audience as he’d supposedly requested at least through his, or a, staff. Sean, no doubt already aware he was on the fast-track to Fox stardom at that point, put me in my place by telling me if he ever came into contact with me he’d personally physically hurt me. 

  No doubt a joke but his e-mail was not comically worded. I spent a solid year listening to Sean’s radio show hoping he’d have an encounter with insight in some fashion and through the years every time I’ve tried again, if not subtly then overtly his theme is always not what the truth might be confronted as but what the public can be convinced to follow and not confront.

  Here’s other coverage of tonight’s event. The Huffington Post. CBS News. The Blaze that gives credit for first covering this to Media Bistro’s tvnewser. The Grio. The Daily Beast.

  Through the years, and even since childhood, I’ve been abused either through slander or outright eye contact condemnation by racists in and from Central Florida, so I feel I can again conclude by saying Mr. Zimmerman still deserves pity because of a mindset that refuses feeling tarnished under any circumstances. So much so that the problem of ignoring a police instruction to avoid this entire affair is ignored as not an issue, but always harped on as to why the size of our criminal justice system’s incarceration rate is so high. So who’s really making a scapegoat of the defendant in this sad case?

The Absolutely Tragic Trayvon Martin Case

January 5th - February 23rd, 2018

Where Has The Time Gone?
Conversing Clichés

  Hey. How ya doin? Sounds less dry than, How are you Mr. Hannity? Life's interesting I hope. How's things? I've never said before. But a friendly-enough expression, don't you think? Cut to the chase. 

  Scapegoats. Everyone's scapegoat is bigger than everyone else's. How the world's always sized itself up, no? Nothing's changed much from before, or even after, Medieval Times when the much more blatantly ruthless, supposedly carved out their stakes so much more unmercifully than today. The fashionably well-dressed of their eras too. Victim history, huh Mr. Hannity? Virtually nothing's changed. Shares, in many more cases, are spread so much further from the castle, that, no doubt, today's better off. Usually a campaign promise and evolving fact of life. (The New York Times Why 2017 Was the Best Year in Human History, Nicholas Kristof)

  Mr. Hannity, I'm not daff enough to believe I'll have your attention. But you just fit so snugly into that aspect of these essays' attempts to face issues of public personality, personably. I hope this one's more than whining about made friends and influenced enemies. That'd be a drag.  

  Speculating on the original, No Respite From Game Of Molded Public Opinion? I'd assume if you read any part of this, your glare's left through a fictitious door, or, with a no less unexpected, victory smile. Doesn't take a lawyer to know that, at even that point in your career, your threatened violence wasn't happening. The surreal digital world's some reality, huh? Though I guess I always realized an intern could have written under your name. Never mind?

  People don't say I tuned in anymore? Resumed consuming Sean Hannity enthusiasm, Tuesday, January 23rd with the 3:00 - 6:00 PM / AM 710 radio show. You relished repeating, "from a historian's perspective" for your, coincidental, special guest, Newt Gingrich, who turns out to be a regular. Who'd have guessed? Hm. Is there really such a thing as change if pontificating celebrities just endlessly repeat themselves? 
  Wednesday, January 24th, just caught your show's end and bragging about never attending a White House Correspondents' Dinner. Certainly a goal before this term's out? But, in the meantime, you can maybe get behind a Roger Ailes Shaking President Trump's Hand statue in the lobby? Arrogance rules? Yes, you know. We're all recognizing at least that much.
  A trusted advisor once noted how amazing your filling such long stretches of time is. Draining just thinking about it. Pining for the coming days of "Alexa, cover for me," are you? Pandora's Box is now open. With magnificent light show. For instance - 

  That book's bells and whistles debut was a soap opera, right? Takes a circus for attention to be lavished on one. Which does mean the scope of the American Public's View is intentionally narrowed to fit agendas. Reduced to a mirage of slandered innuendo. No, Mr. Hannity? Well, that assessment's close.
  That book could be subtitled Dueling Press Secretaries. Yeah, I see sitcom ... or a repeat. Power's above the fray? Still, though, to save face, both you and the president could come down from your pedestals for real good solid looks at yourselves, and all of us, beyond these self-idealist, abstract, declarations of whose type of patriotic zeal matters most. Balderdash. 

  Excuse me, Mr. Hannity. Got caught up in that Hannity exuberance and driven to extreme vocabulary.

  Your Facebook post described the economy as on an "absolute tear." And I was taken aback by the Hannity Staff's text of restrained slant and dry facts. But short and curt though, dissimilar to a full article's page. That gotcha game, that's taken the world and country by storm. 

  Like you care. But Madam Secretary was back, a month ago, and gone again, Sundays at 10 PM on CBS. Apparently not spectacular. "Anyway." It's fiction, yes. More liberal than accommodatingly conservative. But a Barney Miller for our sophisticated time. Seriously. I want you to understand why. There's more to life than puff. Boo. 

Mentioning’s Not Talking About

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

  Martin Luther King Jr. Day. January's federal holiday. Read Ibram X. Kendi's Sunday essay in The, uh huh, New York Times. The Heartbeat of Racism is Denial. The getting to the heart of things admonishment. 

  So Monday, January 15th, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I still wasn't feeling all that particularly sarcastic towards you. And as of February 20th, still not sufficiently amused. Watch -

  This film's from my attempt to broaden public Cold War perspective. An hour's reading from Chapters One and Four, of The Hammer and Cycle Messenger Service, that's also shown on 8 Ball TV. The book was published February 4, 2014, before the previous Winter Olympics.

  Yes, Mr. Hannity. Time hardly passed between then and your skyrocket fame. While the game of framing the public's consciousness hasn't skipped a beat molding public opinion. Spread your eagle's wings a bit. Watch. The novel's a competent parody of the Cold War. The hour film has more pictures the last 24 minutes. Replace my voice, right? But, as you have, I was stuck putting myself out there to appear genuine. 

  Right. What's the deal with these pictures? You're not your clichés, are you Mr. Hannity? Are we?

  The State of the Union had that not just another speech quality. Carrying rhetorical flourish to amazing heights, we could say. - Treasonous glares - from Democrats mimicked Paul Ryan's stone face for President Obama's last. (Oh, no one's keeping score.) While the ritualistic genuflecting applause, per sentence, had that musty sense too. Where the gloss, of course, shadows the real intent that power can't sycophantically see. Can't simply see? 

  Also heard your "in town" schtick, to the tune of, for the ump-hundredths time, your and Newt's reminding each other you've been saints at the stake in the forefront of selectively posed political principles. Babbitt can't fix everything. Sure. Repetition's true as long as it whips up the troops. Good day, sir?

Owning What People Think

  Re-read original (daily) essay, and what's too convoluted still registers the point. A point? Yes. Something besides, and other than, puff. ... Repeating myself under stress?

  Hate seeing this essay end. #44 since readdressing began October 30th, 2015 with May 8th, 2012's Shark Tank. And 798 days till this January 5th, 2018 readdress. Maybe the anticipation's more than the actuality. So I still wish I wasn't done and there were more Monday? Tuesday? Wednesday? ... Friday? questions to figure out. That answers filling space. 

  Not entirely expected. But #45 Larry King got Soapbox View home page top billing. With an assist though. 

Help Rohingya Refugees in Myanmar and Bangladesh

ISSUES

  The morning after the Florida school shootings, it's noticeable this fictional dialogue isn't "talking about" issues. Maybe the essay wends a way? I'll see. Nah. Appears forging new ground is necessary and now I, too, am trapped into going on and on. Oy vey. 

  How can there be balance when everything's extremes? The world's sophisticated mentalities are so splintered, obsessions are norms. 

  Platitudes and jargon was that 1st Speech, as most all unfortunately are. Ya know President Clinton started with solving the crisis of the "working poor." That's really the problem of why survival costs a fortune. No doubt?

  Must be a lot of pride in punishing the disadvantaged more? Right, bureaucracy wastes. Medical Care case in point. And free enterprise never met a bureaucracy it hasn't embraced. Wouldn't know issues decided on a case by case basis if it bit you. Pardon my grammar.

  Immigration and Gun Mental Health ... 

  CPAC. Drama requires a scorecard? Fiddlesticks. Postures and poses and everything's roses. ...
  One can't expect people to read on and on, yet I'll miss this repartee. Despite my inability to express you for yourself. If you were to read the discussions with the presidents, you'd notice the same impatience with the constrictions of political reality's sharpened veneer. Adieu. 
  ... And collusion? Whatever the details, it's faith in the divine right of kings unfortunately omnipresent here. 
  So, Mr. Hannity? Think things'll ever be gotten to the bottom of?

Moral Totems Should Be Risen To, Not Fallen From?

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Soapbox View 

Please forgive my tardiness with new Soapbox Views. Sometime in April the essays should become weekly again. Ukraine deserves comment but the essays' quality are my first concern. I am aware the issues surrounding Ukraine/Crimea are a fiesta for the world's Chesters pounding their chests for support. And as always your reading The Soapbox View is extremely cherished. - Also this week New York City's Chief of Police publicly voiced his long time support of medical marijuana while expressing a tolerance for this particular facet of the Criminal Enterprise System. Harry Anslinger's Dependents! Society should be ashamed of feelings of superiority not maturing. A sycophantic opinion was also delivered on Meet The Press by California's Governor Jerry Brown who apparently can't live down the shame that his father was defeated for governor by the future President Ronald Reagan whose War on Drugs facilitated the quashing of marijuana smuggling only to be replaced by the more wicked enticements of more expensive but cheaper to smuggle dehumanizing chemicals. Way to pander to the moral rectitude vote, Governor. Also not to jump all over the New York City Police Chief, he's from Boston where the Boston Herald is making a concentrated effort to appear righteous on this issue. In a city where I'd venture to guess crime on alcohol might be regarded as a sacred tradition. 

In Addition, of Consideration

Sunday, April 6, 2014, The New York Times Despite Support in Party, Democratic Governors Resist Legalizing Marijuana, by ADAM NAGOURNEY notes that in her state of the state address this year, New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan invoked, "Legalizing marijuana won't help us address our substance use (heroin) challenge," and "Experience and data suggests it will do the opposite."

Except the challenge is being civilized rather than at senseless war with ourselves as prey begun by Harry Anslinger's allies and carried out by the Criminal Enterprise System's dependents. A facet of which was discussed, Saturday, April 5th, on CUNY-TV's Criminal Justice Matters with host Stephen Handelman questioning journalist, Mike Power and the Drug Policy Alliance's Stephanie Jones citing the problem where marijuana is clamped down on tighter, substitute chemicals are more pervasive. Like beating inflation, war won't be over until it's stopped. Or imagine emphasizing the drug war's tragedy through a nationwide boycott on alcohol that would probably just prove getting blasted out of our minds is what the country's addicted to though there are people aware drugs don't mix? 

And here's a tune for this occasion.

Because falling short of virtuous still seems the case for civilization's over-enforcement of morality? 

With sin and vice the fuzzy lines between socially fostered criminality - and a justice that's more than the concept of a day in court that means so many different things all over the world. For example President Putin's recent symbolic Russian pardons that can only be wished meant an even more dynamic solution to corruption's affordability is coming. Sure, justice prevails. And, if nothing else, Russia proves criminal persecution is too much of a game. Okay? Maybe a more moral generation supplants a corrupt one? Except injustice was already done for that purpose by the Soviet Union. So, scapegoats aside, actually solving corruption requires imagination, huh President Putin? Let the lawyers win may be the best chance Earth has? 

Uncorking Political Reality

The Water Commissioner tapped his pipe against his hand and looked at the Police Commissioner. “No sir," he said. "You may know better than I. But if a water tunnel is clogged, unclog it. Perpetual crime is wrong. This incessant violence over bad human habits being pure criminal behavior is useless debris. Plugging the gutter instead of the civic responsibility to unplug it. What overruns cities is playing war with the Criminal Enterprise System."

Adjusting his seat cushion the Chief of Police nodded at the Mayor. Then snapped his rod planting his baited hook exactly where the shade of the big oak touches the river when the sun crosses. Satisfied with his cast, the chief relaxed and said, "You want me to admit it's uncomfortable making personal arrests? No. Fact is it's an honor to protect and serve and that simple. Yep. Crime is money and just so you know, I'm just a Police Chief and you're Water Commissioner. There's a whole wide world of moral indignation to pacify before the righteous shed their shields and armor. A game? Yes. Sometimes clearcut and foggy as you suggest. None the less, the high cost of living requires laying off police. The very public servants whose duty is supervising the broken. The last duty we need pressured and understaffed. It's as if no one's ever read a crime novel. Solving desperation is still the solution to face yet all over the world the job pressure of arrest performance causes great anxiety when the last thing the public needs is adversaries. Thankfully the Justice System regards individual rights but is reluctant to curtail the system's survival taxing the criminal class you define as the Criminal Enterprise System. Yes. Everything can be blamed on Congress. The Political Science of Public Opinion. Enforcing morality is immorally excusing criminal opportunity when the point should really be we're smarter than this. Justice for everyone should be more than just similar to a trip to the casino." 

The mayor reeled his line in a bit unconcerned with the façade of western decadence. He said, "I'm just a mayor."

So the Water Commissioner said, "Defusing crime is moral. It's time criminal conspiracy was more than a question of profit. Something solved."

"Uh huh," agreed the chief and the mayor knew he'd been teamed. 

"Otherwise," the Water Commissioner said. "Politics is a toy. Politicians and journalists pretending the petty bitterness of the political trade just pops up from time to time instead of every back-stabbing day. Symptoms. That's all journalists get. It's a media circus up north with that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Bridge-gate Scandal. May as well have been his own Public Relations crew. President or next Mike Huckabee? What's the difference? The world is corrupted? Please? What's the difference? Unless tolerance is the point this world's adaptation to circumstances is circumspect at best. Because face it. There's no question the world's success can't be disguised. There's too much progress for just the veneer of wealth. Except the least among us are still thought better off than they ever were. So what? Custom and culture must mature because technology already exists for civilization's perfection. Heck. Bill Gates and friends are plugging up some holes in economic discrepancy. It's just the business of charity hasn't fulfilled capitalism's ultimate aim yet re-making Earth as if this were any rich person's home, basement or boat." 

The Police Chief smiled at his line and Mayor wiped his brow and Water Commissioner went ahead. "Except we have this great noble scapegoat solution for the world's inequities and poverty. Education will save the next generation from second-rate citizenship. How dare anyone not be numbed into believing the best of all possible worlds shouldn't be outright Utopia for a specific some? Especially since the best of all possible world's gets what? 62 per cent in a Marist Poll? 58% Harris? CNN?" 

"Ah," the Mayor spat warning bass away. "Poor people were once commonly thought to get by. Going back to when the whole world was either ruthless or poor. People got by. Plus it's still not thought that bad for the American poor. Even now when we're worried out of our skulls whether the moderately successful can ever survive at these prices?" 

Then of course the Police Chief reeled in a six pounder and their prestige allowed them to call it a good day?

But politics found it necessary to rub the issue in. (Yesterday, when this page was published, the New York City Mayor and Police Commissioner announced stop and frisk has been reduced even lower and acknowledged the previous year's reduction.) The fact is there needs to be a lot more nuance to politicians than their politics require they portray.

The New York Times, January 5, 2014,  published Senators Differ Sharply on Penalty for Snowden,  by Brian Knowlton. A concise profile of this great secrecy debate's posturing that's hard for people to come down from their principles on. Of course be patriotic. But condemning Edward J. Snowden really does mean the competitively condemned have less recourse against power for its own sake as it exists all over the world. For example: The martyrdoms of the executions of Ken Saro-Wiwa and now Kim Jong-un's uncle, Jang Song-taek haunt the world. Executing our way to whose better world? Teaching injustice is terrorism and proving it is one suggestion. Either this planet develops more examples of objective magnanimity or those samples will become less and less till there are none. Then all jurisprudence rubber stamps whatever the most powerful want done. 

Amnesty because the country needs to move on even while this issue's momentum keeps it serious business for quite a few lawyers a very long time. Perhaps forever? When the last thing the world needs is to be more paranoid. When a world safe even and especially for the cops is the right thing to do. No? The weaponry can always be picked up. It's the grudges that must be laid down.

The problem is, as President Putin probably perceives, is it's an impossible fortune to finance an uncorrupt system. The ruthlessness of law enforcement notwithstanding. America lays off police it can't afford after the great leap forward in the nineteen-seventies spawned the competitive less-corrupt 6-figure bureaucrat salary that today's still just a bucket-spit compared to the free market packages government influence assures. Because the absense of real reform isn't just something in President Putin's lap? Or do we really know how this money gets spread around?

Putin Cabinet Picked From Associates That Ruled Russia All Along

  Still unyielding to the concept absolute power causes him appear to be a dictator, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his officially appointed Cabinet, semi-officially transferring government power from his parliamentary to re-assumed Presidential seat as The New York Times and Reuters report everything is the same as per usual. 

  Though half the Cabinet changed some clearly retain roles within their associations of friends that control those ministries.Igor I. Sechin is giving up the deputy prime minister post, but is expected to remain a pivotal figure in large energy negotiations. Meanwhile no one related to the dissident movements was chosen thereby affirming few if any were considered. 

  President Putin did not attend a weekend G8 summit at American President Obama’s Camp David because of preparations for today’s announcement in Moscow that technically were returning Prime Minister Medvedev’s job. Though that split of responsibilities was seen to emphasize President Putin’s power over the Prime Minister, this could be more about how overall powerful the president is. Maybe he just didn’t want to fly to America, and prove anything to anyone anymore. Visiting Camp David just meant being bothered by others that want something from him. After all what’s the polished publicity behind Prime Minister Medvedev for? 

  The Ministry of Culture went to Vladimir Medinsky, a pop histories of the Soviet Union author and chest-thumping advocate of patriotic education. A gallery owner Marat Guelman mused on Ekho Moskvy radio that “the ministry of culture could turn into a ministry of propaganda.” 

  Ah, we miss the good old days until we get them and we’re still not satisfied. As with today’s cake icing that Mr. Putin has not yet announced his own Kremlin staff, known as the Presidential Administration. He probably wants to see how the recent shakeup of internal alliances settles before making those critical choices. 

  Like who’s in charge of taking out the trash? With so many assorted pieces to keep in place how does one man control the entire board? Authoritarianism. Certainly. Mr. Putin should prove he’s more mature than that.

Morality's Not A Threat?

  How about dissecting this El Chapo example from inside-out? Not just pass off the reality of Mr. Guzmán's claim environment raised him. The immorality behind creating the Criminal Enterprise System that blames others for the necessity to protect everyone is delusional scapegoating and ploy of every form of tyranny limiting our ability to solve crises rather than malignantly thriving on withstanding tragedy. Crime is simple. Ours' a real farce.

----------------------------------------------------------------

  Ya notice, whether anyone could see profit from this, or not, that conservatives say liberals say conservatives are what liberals say conservatives say what liberals say conservatives say liberals mean conservatives mean liberal means as if it's almost the other's utter cluelessness that's what's right about what they're wrong about even when they're both right about being wrong they're right? Still it's a world class mind funk going on when public discourse is so ruled by cliché. Senator Ryan you jargon modifying politician you. Your move. You could suggest Hilary Clinton might consider what office she'd attempt to name Senator Sanders' appointment to if she were elected. Rather than allow the idea to blow in the political wind as well with other new Johnny One Note trills? 

  Life's not a bargain and neither is its' clean up and why someone's always cleaning up whether we are or not. No? Inspired not to work? Someone that lazy isn't the problem. And so it goes.

THE WORLD'S IDEALS?

  Is this story for forcing un-faced discomfort. Not just awful and awkward, but, downright shameful things a writer's role's to uncover after the truth. So once upon a time a, short, sickly at birth, youngster nicknamed Happy, by his parents, because he always seemed to laugh as a baby, turned into an uncommonly, arrogantly, ambitious child. Except for his extreme shyness around girls that developed due to his being overwhelmed by the extreme pulchritude of everyone of the female persuasion in his hometown. 

  So it was then, on this one particular day that he went to the home where all the neighborhood kids went to play sports and tag that would last hours. Even being an occasion for the last time his father spanked him when kids convinced him to continue playing hide-and-seek after the streetlights came on that was his time to go home and his father met him on the path running home, behind the neighbor's house, and grabbed his right arm and walloped his behind. After which telling his mother the episode was too violent and he never hit Happy again and they went back to the system where Happy'd feel too terrible defying his parents making that punishment enough. Being treated as a child was not really how a young man who had to grow up fast should be treated. 

  But on this other particular day the older boys decided, as was their inclination, to exclude Happy and so they had him hang around by the garage with a dog that belonged to one of the other boys and he was warned not to be friendly with the pet because the dog could get ornery. So literally four decades before his eventual wife would say all dogs are good and feed them even candy, if that's all there was available, to the most vicious fenced up guard dogs, Happy decided he'd be friendly as the dog was to him too. Except when the dog bit him and he cried and the boys came, not startled but telling him he'd been warned and the episode became hilarious when Happy screamed he'd have the owners sued for their dog's being allowed to have such a disposition. 

  Well. At home his mother medicated the wound and calmed him down and the next day was told of her being called by that county's Sheriff to make sure he was okay as the dog belonged to him and his son. Fascinatingly enough, for Happy, during his early high school years one of the nicest people towards him was a cousin of theirs whose father also went on to become that county's Sheriff. 

  Now. (See Sheriff link for the dog's owner's tyrannical history.) These facts are not being recounted as an act of revenge or to sound more properly moral in light of the racist atmosphere that permeated that town as the first black person in Happy's school didn't occur till his fifth grade year over a decade after that grossly, preposterously, racist nonsense had been allowed to permeate the spiteful culture for a century after the supposed ending of that cultural nonsense that had been theoretically put in its' proper place. 

  Needless to say the young world conqueror had to be educated to the fact his parents considered not moving there because of the actions of that particular Sheriff who was literally on record as having ruled that county with an iron racist fist. So he must act accordingly and not unsafely push that man. 

  So. If readers wonder why I apparently don't care who or what authority I stand up to as a writer, defying their power to disregard me? There's two reasons. 

1. Free Speech. 

2. I'm not a child anymore and will push satire's envelope limitlessly for the result that this world truly faces Allah/God believing everyone's your chosen people.

Link to church where when preparing to sing 
We Three Kings before the whole congregation, 
another child responded, "Happy's the black one." 

  So 3. My name's Charles Malcolm Fraser and I don't care what peaceful means anyone finds unnecessary for me to "misguidedly" use. Because I've had it with the lot of this world's excuse ridden, riddled, racist nonsense. George W. Bush you better g__ d___ed well apologize for claiming the right to perpetrate cycles of violent revenge in God's name because I think you're the example to make from your claim this racist nonsensical holy war/jihad bull-crap is and was your responsibility to to end through its' pursuit. This constant military solution when anyone with a clue can see Isis' children were born of you and your co-horts MISTAKES. Pragmatic? I confront you as a liar. Allah/God have mercy on your and Dick Cheney and all your other false brethren neocons' souls for perpetrating the continuation of this godawful bloody mess, cycle of revenge, you hypocrite of the lowest order. I actually don't believe God/Allah needs a revenge of that magnitude and maybe it's reserved for me. But my dare is you apologize or go to Hell. Thank Allah/God's judge because there's not enough time in the world for me to care to listen to another of your excuses. 
  Uh. See? Turned out I wasn't just after Sheriff McCall's legacy after all. I'm just a sarcastic s.o.b. What can I say, the world's an oyster irritating the hell out of me?

Awaken Gentle Mass Touch

  As of 9:10 AM Eastern Standard Time, Tuesday, September 17th, 2019, there's been no sufficiently acceptable world-wide public apology from former American President, George W. Bush. Sure. Presidential Candidates, and commercial track pundits, may excuse your critical mistakes to appeal to percentages of opinion while this complaint-ant is just a sarcastic Soapbox View. But! In lieu of no emphatic sincere apology, you, because the buck stopped with you and your responsibility for people's further lost perspective on why revenge is wrong. Please, really help. Not appease various angers that don't stop. Suck it up. You were swept up by history. The future needs to break from the crap. And that's that.

  And freaking? Yes freaking North Korea's playing with weapons. The crises established by the pathological sense of ruling war that's acted upon as if it's actually not known where they could have possibly gotten defeatist ideas like this from. C'mon. Can't everyone say hypocrite? That would be some bandwagon to jump off, eh? 

  Speaking of which, this morning, radio covered Governor "Gateway" Cuomo of New York's announcement, yesterday January 10th, endorsing a prison education program to be paid for from "criminal forfeitures." From upon his Criminal Enterprise System pulpit. When until the façade's dissected and remedied, this creation of a broad wide spectrum of criminality to protect the public from attacking itself is no more and no less than culturally scapegoating sin. 

  Because what I heard was ratification Saturday morning from a Corporation For Public Corporate Broadcasting commentator who balanced Pablo Guzman's defense, saying, still, he was "subverting the rule of law here." While reality remains unfazed by the rule of law's subverting the rule of law even the Supreme Court can face but facetious corruption of the economics can't? Law would have protected us already. Let go of this financial forest's façade so history's evolution doesn't remain so critically flawed. Police, the umpires are supposed to be on everyone's side. ... .

History's More Than Understanding Tradition

  11,000 Cuban migrants. Senator Rubio needs to get off his anti-Castro revenge pulpit and participate in economically kick-starting the island that really at this point comes before running for any presidency. Because the cause of Yankee exploitation of Cuba does not need redeeming. And no matter how much sycophantic hoo-haw praise you can raise? God knows. Good luck with that. Everyone knows the answer's always how money flows. Shouldn't be the problem.

100 Character Celebrity Sighting

  Traditionally this comment would appear towards the bottom right where there's a 100 character description of crossed paths with celebrities since New York's where a lot work etc., so paths do cross. But this celebrity crossing defies a 100 character description as simple as it sounds. So, locking my bike to a parking meter and, just before putting the lock around the pole, and between the front wheel and spokes, a black car pulls up beside the parked cars and I recognize a beard exiting, and having a five-year-old time of it getting his companion out of the backseat. So I remember this guy, close to right away, because a decade back, and probably just months before he became a bigger household name, I'd carried a package from his managing company to a record company on lower Fifth Avenue. I can't recall how I saw his name other than I never look inside so his name was outside. So he's got me grinning as he exists and carts his charge over the curb past me to go in St. Bartholomew's and we parted with like a nod. Then, at least an hour later, I walk up to unlock my bike and bending over, glance seeing him to my left about to saunter past with his child. Recognizing one another, from before, Steve Earle does his hey how you doin, and I reply good and ask how he's doin, and he says oh alright while tugging the kid along back up the street to a waiting SUV.
