1. Joe Biden is considering a run because as VP, he knows the possibility of Hillary Clinton becoming damaged by the myriad of "inquiries" is real.
2. Iran will get a nuclear weapon.
3. The real racial conversation that all the professional class of politicians, news pundits and corporate leaders are clamoring for, is not being had. And they don't have the balls to say why.
4. Patrick Kane may fall----- hard.
5. Why are pundits so dumbfounded by the success of Donald Trump? Or are they simply afraid to say that he is an insufferable prick, supported by insufferable pricks?
6. Fox News still is a major powerhouse. But my strong feeling is that it is the beginning of the end. This period will go on for a long time, but it is coming.
7. Who will disabuse most of the adult voters in the United States of the notion that their country isn't Socialist- and actually has been so since Franklin Roosevelt was President?
8. I am pro Israel for the right reasons. But they have crawled into the world's domestic politics for too long and a new wave of anti-semitism is in a growing stage. 
9. Most of what we fear the most, has happened before.
10. Not sure of the real truth? FOLLOW THE MONEY.

It's been a fairly long time since I have posted here. I have missed you. Let's stay in touch. 

Just checking

Have you missed me?

That festive holiday season

Certainly, the period between now and the first of the year will be more than interesting. Everybody's playing for keeps and the clash of wills might prove to be fascinating. Let's list a few things in order of importance, (to me at least)

1. Cub free agent signings or trades
2. Immigration
3.The Middle East
4. More "kids in the sandbox" moments.

It should be entertaining.

Incidentally,which wolf are you feeding today?

A better course taken

Three things come to mind. First, the song I can't get out of my head is Oscar Peterson's Nigerian Marketplace.

I think all democrats in congress should switch parites and inform their respective leaders that they will caucus with the Republicans effective immediately.

Third, I have heard quite enough of the cockamamie claptrap about "taking our country back". I asked recently who took it and where were they hiding it? I got no response. Yesterday I was firmly opposed to "states rights" since it is code for nothing good. But with 30 Republican governors, gerrymandered, bulletproof districts and stacked legislatures from the state house all the way down to the local student council, I think it's time to give them what they want. 

When congress convenes in January, I would like to see an entirely Republican (RINO, Tea Party, Reaganesque) chain of legislative command. Disband all federal agencies that Rick Perry called for (including the one he couldn't remember), make them self sustainable (Cut off all Federal aid). This will not be easy but with a little nonpartisanship, it can work. Let them be responsible for all the things they say they hate about the Federal Government. 

Please indicate your support by telling everyone you know, to read this. If I get hundreds of page visits, I will make a You Tube video. It will go super viral, we will start a movement that creates an independent party that will rise like a Phoenix out of the ashes of unfettered Republican rule. Once the results are unmistakeable that trickle down economics didn't work, dropping a nuclear weapon on Iran didn't work either, our no choice, their way or the highway society collapsed of its own absurdity. When all the Hollywood actors move to Canada and we're forced to only watch movies with Jon Voight, Angie Harmon, Vince Vaughan and any other Republican leaning sympathizers, with Dinesh D'Souza directing them----

I could go on. It's been a rough week. It's kinda like the sign on my accountant's desk:
I can only take care of one person's needs per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.

Have a wonderful weekend. If the Vikings score 50 points on the Bears Sunday, I personally know 43 die hard fans who will blow their fucking brains out. 

Work with me. Let's start a movement to cleanse the world of progressiveness. Think of all the Brie and Spanish Sherry that will be unconsumed.

Fun numbers.

December will bring the last opportunity for those who date checks or other written things with the 2 digit numeric month, date and year. On Saturday December 12th, the date will be 12/13/14.

No politics today. Sounds like we're all getting sick of me writing about it.

Quick Question

Large energy companies continue to enjoy huge subsidies no matter how large their profits are. The same applies to farming concerns, sometimes referred to as agri-businesses.
The NFL will make nearly 10 BILLION dollars this year. Yet, it will pay few taxes
The same applies to Major league baseball. The same applies to the Catholic Church.

So, why the fuck is the SCOTUS once again hearing a case that could shred the Affordable Care Act? Given the double standards that are pretty rampant, wouldn't it be better to fix this law than to destroy its intent?

Just askin'

July 16th 1964

Google Barry Goldwater's acceptance speech to the Republican Convention. Chilling, amazing and if you're looking for a back drop to where we find ourselves these days, in my opinion, look no further.
