Bracket Picker
Congratulations to Camden 10-year-old, Patrick Lindsey! The young man picked the Final Four correctly.


10-year-old Patrick Lindsey of Camden

Can we all say it, together? WHY DON'T WE RUN HIM FOR PRESIDENT?

He's not too young, especially if we lose his birth certificate. And God knows, he has more experience than the current Penn. Avenue resident. Even then, the current inhabitants of DC don't care about the Constitution, anyway, do they?

Tea for Three
There ARE Tea-Party demonstrations this April 15th - you just don't know about them.

Is it possible that local TV news stations in all three state areas have something to do with that fact? May be. Since the 1980's most news directors have come from an advocacy j-school background - generally Progressive, focused on avoiding lawsuits and racially motivated challenges.

My sources around the State are saying many local newsrooms are getting tired of doing Tea Party stories. Besides, pro-union stories are, at least, something new. News has to be new or have newness in it, after all. They're also telling me that while Tea-Partiers in the Midlands and Lowcountry didn't get everything they wanted this past election, those in the Upstate pretty much did. There's only one big demonstration in Spartanburg on Tax day.

There is another little cleverism the gummint whomped up on the country, which will effect the Tea Party people - the delay of Tax Day until the 18th - a working day. Which leads me to my final observation..

Tea Partiers work for a living. Pro-Union people are PAID to show up and protest.

Please consider all of this, before considering whether or not the air is out of the Tea Party Movement.

Obama's "Not War" Speech
More strabismus. Are you keeping track of the number of constitutional conflicts this "person" has created? He's hoping you can't.

March 28, 2011
Vinegar from Oil
Two events - seemingly unconnected - have occurred: ONE - A special group is being formed to smear, jam, and otherwise bully and attack Fox News and Conservative bloggers. TWO - two billion dollars have been given to Brazil to drill for oil.

But, O, my droogies and malcheeks, there IS a very special connection.

The attack squad is being formed by George Soros, to the tune of an estimated two hundred million bucks. The Brazillian government will be paying the diggers that two billion bucks. Guess who is THE major stockholder in the drilling venture? Yep. George Soros.

In effect, YOUR TAX DOLLARS will be going into the pocket of a man who thinks FREE enterprise is a filthy joke, and funding his fight against anybody that disagrees with him, and which aids his bud, Barack Obama.

These are the facts. You decide what they mean.

"..but be ye wise as serpents.."
This is what I take away from Mike Wallace's son's interview of Newt Gingrich and a partisan Progressive judge's ruling banning the implementation of a constitutionally legal act this weekend: Republicans admit their faults. Progressives are above the law. Republicans are painfully naive. Progressives believe in the ends.

What, In the Wide-Wide World o' Sports Is A-Goin' On Hyar?
Hey! We have NOT stopped doing FRANKIE FOXes. But, when you're introducing a brand new college course, it takes an enormous amount of time. The research, alone, takes months, and the visual execution can eat up all your free time for weeks, even if you do it week-by-week.

Frankies ARE being created. Just, not as many, right now. The original idea was to do five Frankies a week. Right now, I can only do two or three per week. The regular schedule will begin, again, after the 5th of May. Promise!

Hillsdale article.
There is a brilliant article in this month's IMPRIMUS, from Hillsdale College by Seth Lipsky. It's about how the depreciation of the floating dollar due has stolen real property from American Citizens.

But instead of being a dry discussion of boring numbers, Lipsky takes a simple example - the fact that the world's standard "kilogram," housed in Switzerland is losing atoms - the weight and mass is being depreciated one atom at a time. - and shows that over 150 years, a small, but significant dent has been made in what should have been a pristine and perfect weight. (The mass, too.) Bankers all over Europe are in a real tizzy, because the measure has lost its actual weight.

Get IMPRIMUS by writing to imprimus@hilsdale.edu. [This heads up is an attempt to make an in-kind donation to this excellent college.] Read IMPRIMUS.. consider it asprin for your union-bullied headache.

Not Too Proud.
Ahem.. There are currently 39 active volcanoes, world-wide. The average number of active volcanoes is 20.   really?

Obama is the most popular President, ever..

uh-huh..

Something else to fix.
Some of you may be too young to rememeber the outrage the EPA caused in the Upstate, and it's never been corrected. Greenville had (note the past tense) the best tasting water in America, not just south carolina. It was as pure as can be, straight from the mountain.

But some jerkoff at the Environmental Protection Agency discovered that there was no chlorine put in the the water. So, they commanded the water service in the western part of the state to be obedient slaves and do so. The water has never been the same. And if research can finally prove that type II diabetes is caused by years of chlorine intake, and that being fat is a result of diabetes, not a cause, then the over-reaching federal government will be found to be culpable. AND they will have killed a beautiful 8 million year aquifer.

About that.. The station where they add the chlorine is a porous system. What happens if, by rotten chance that marvelous nuclear plant 'splodes up in Oconee County. Why the radiation dust will filter through at that marvelous federal chlorine additive station,

Super Moon, or Else..
It's all beginning to make sense, now. If you look at WHEN the actual Sendai quake took place, the powerful pull of the NEW Moon, plus the pull of the Sun may point to an actual causality.


Here's a diagram of the Sun-Earth-Moon complex.
The diagram is exaggerated, of course, but it tells a significant story - during these rare times, the moon is as close as it was 1.5 Billion years ago. Now, according to archeogeologists, in that time, the moon was close enough to cause diastrophe in many places in the "archeo-precambrian" era. Dyastrophe is the geological term for an earthquake or valcano who's effects are less than universal. A universal diastrophe would be a catastrophe. (Unfortunately, these days, you can only find the word diastrophe in a medical journal because the medical community swiped the term from the geologists.)

Tides, back then, were ten feet higher or more. The Earth-Moon double-planet system exacted a price on the Earth as there were far more volcanoes and earthquakes than today. why? Because the center of the system is not the center of the Earth, as it would be, if the Moon were a true satellite.

Look here: http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/tides.html   What you will find here is a discussion of the principle of the Earth-Moon system (which is really the Earth-Moon-Sun system). The actual gravitic center, called the "barycentre" is about where the magma meets the outer core of the Earth. This is important because this arrangement doesn't just effect the tides of water. It also effects the tides of magma and whatever the outer core is made of.


Here's a diagram of the Earth-Moon complex with barycentre.

There is some evidence that the Moon may be the reason the Earth's core is denser than the Moon's. But the billions of tons of water on the Earth appear to be under the Moon's influence, in any case. Some scientists are asking if the Moon's gravity doesn't also have something to do with plate tectonics and vulcanism on Earth.

So before you believe the pooh-poohing of some TV scientists and the sillies at Salon.com, remember that, like the ignorance surrounding Man-made Global warming, science knows very, very little about how the planets function the way they do.

Did the alignment of the Moon cause the Sendai Quake? Maybe. But if so, it probably was caused more by the new moon which would have been in alignment with the Sun, just after 13 days before. But in any case, there is evidence of causality there.

While We're All Waiting for Armageddon
This is one of those emails from "nobody."   It has a name attached, but, considering the content, that person couldn't possibly be this funny.   I certainly didn't write it.   But, I surely whish I had.

"Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert, left over from WWII.

One thrifty Congresswoman said, "Someone may steal from it, during the night."

So, they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job at $30k/yr.

But then, a well-meaning Congressman said, "How can the watchman do his job without some instruction?" And another one said,"Let's determine how he should do his job." So they created a planning department and hired two people - one person to write the curriculum and one person to do time studies to make the curriculum writer more efficient.

All this had barely gotten underway, when a Congresswoman from California, who's husband had some fairly heavy debts said, "How will we know if the watchman is doing what we taught him to do?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two more people - two friends of the Congresswoman's husband - one to do the studies and one to write the reports.

Then another congressman, who was sobering up from a "meeting" with a B-list actress, asked the question, "How are those people going to get paid?" So he had a bill passed that created two new positions - a time keeper and a payroll officer.

Then, a Congressional committee, trying to impress voters, as it was nearly election-time, asked the question, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" And so an administrative section was created and three more people were hired - an Administrative Officer, an Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then, a Congressional subcommittee pronounced, "We have had this operation going for one year, and we are $918,000 over budget. We have to appear to be doing SOMETHING, but our voting base demands we keep stimulating with this program. We have to do SOMETHING.."

So they laid off the night watchman.

NOW slowly, let that sink in.

Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, during the Carter Administration?

Anybody?

What is it, again, that government is supposed to do well?

March 18, 2011
All Moon, All the Time
Why, in the Name of the Almighty, would ANYBODY trust ANYTHING said by ANYONE from NASA? Not when they say something like "The Earth is not influenced by the Moon." Maybe they should fire their "scientists" and hire some people who have studied all the recent findings in Archeology and Archeogeology.

This is almost as dumb as the Times rearranging their best seller list to hide the fact that Fox contributors sell better than anybody else. And the most embarrassing thing about it all is that the guy in charge of NASA is a South Carolinian. He's the same guy who said NASA exists for the purpose of aiding relationships between Muslims and the West. Maybe we can get him to move to another state. Maybe we just need to defund NASA.

Hello Edison - Goodbye Con-Ed
As individuals, we don't need Utilities. Using the sun and a little knowledge, each household in America can use Tom Edison's original idea and get off the grid, right now. The only problem confronting the average person is ignorance, not money.

MOST AMERICANS DON'T KNOW HOW ELECTRICITY WORKS. But solar energy creation is possibly easier to understand than atomic degeneration boiler heating technology. The panels exist, and the prices are getting reasonable. What costs so much is getting somebody to install it for you.

A smart person could make a killing by making solar installation as cheap as roofing, and take all the business from those few outfits which are currently raping the people of the Palmetto State with outrageous fees and ridiculous charges for panels and conversion kits..

And we're not talking direct current or changing TVs or Fridges. We're talking about what runs your current (sorry) set of appliances. Such stuff exists, just using deep drainage regular batteries. Eventually, the technology - which is already here - will become truly affordable (something the feds COULD actually help us with, but won't), and we won't have to charge the batteries as often.

It's here. It's now, but you have to do it yourself, to make it truly affordable.

Strabismus & Outhouses
Remember when I warned you about how the administration was throwing everything America hates - hoping that some will stick because there's just too much to look at? Do you see the calamity which such amateur governance brings about?

Bus driver union-mob membership.
Samerai/ Bushido Bureacracy/Karetsu values taking the place of trust.
Lybia and Administration Cowardice
US Budget.
And a hundred other screw-ups thrown against the walls - hoping for it to stick.

We need to teach our children about how an outhouse works. - it answers many questions: All you need is a hole about 4 to six feet deep, with a decent chair (hardwood is proffered). Now comes the important stuff.

The administration is like an outhouse - someone has to throw lye over the poop to keep people from smelling what's been done. Real governmental symbolism.

Is There More?
Super Low Moon (a combination of perigee, full moon, and the equinox) only happens rarely. When it does happen, all together like now, the earth moves - look what's happening to JAPAN. We could also experience a volcano eruption.

CIVIL SERVICE UNIONS RECEIVE HUGE DRUBBING
Do you find it ironic that the liars and bullies in the union rent-a-mob are looking to defeat the very freedom which allows them to build their little kingdoms. Oh, and don't believe the union-backed news outlet that created the phoney Wisconsin poll. People are not so fickle as this bit of fantasy would have you believe.

What's Down With That?
Now we have evidence that NPR is exactly the liberal toilet we all thought it was. But this won't be the end of it. When a liberal is caught with his pants down, he sends out the PR toadies to try to make us think that screwing around is the thing to do. Perversion is, after all their signatory raison d'etre. Today's Frankie Fox paints the real picture..

Some Things Obama Missed
In his quest to become the Messiah of the Down-trodden, our Pseudo-Intellectual-in-Chief has missed the understanding of many things.

Some are:
     1. "Poor" doesn't mean "stupid." Much of the time, the only obstacle preventing poverty from becoming self-sufficient is some bureaucratic rule. It can be argued that more people would come off of the poverty roles were Obama to just disappear. As it is, his very presence argues for people to become or continue to be lazy, waiting for someone to "deliver" them.
     2. Lincoln belongs to the land of myth and false religion. The real Lincoln was a liar, a sneak, and a cheat. He was only a pawn in the universe's game of Freedom - used ironically well and then dispensed with.
     3. He will be thought of as a liar, who's actions don't match his words. His don't. He talks like some midwestern independent, while sending out his bully-boys from mafia-infested unions to harass legislatures drowning in the debt, caused by his own fascist-infected party.
     4. Marxism only works in performance criticism because the one thing theatre can never be is real. Hollywood Greats have their wealth and popularity because of their ability to appear real while being preposterously UN-real. The actions of great leaders should be real.
Mussolini who, like our current great leader, was a fine performance orator and courted the friendship of the glitterati, could not walk the thin line between socialist unrealism and capitalist realism. Two lessons passed by.
     5. A great leader deals from strength. Cowardly and weak states bargain because they have to, not because they like or even trust the great leader.
     6. The Hindii say, "When you ride the tiger, the tiger will dine well, when the ride is done. Politics without ethics is a tiger.      7. You can speak for yourself or surrender your voice to another, but you cannot do both. Collective bargaining is its own quicksand. Great leaders know this, instinctively.
     8. Only tyrants and despots party while the people suffer.

Cute L'i'l Bastards
When children are born out of wedlock, they are bastards. This is not a matter of debate, unless, of course, you're like those who want to change the language and pretend words don't mean anything.

"Bastard" is a harsh word. The reason the word is so harsh is because it puts shame on the children of people who cannot differentiate between smart and stupid behavior. Also there is a popular belief that a moral person should not heap shame on another person - that the person will be judged after they die.

Whether you believe these two premises or not, they ARE the popular beliefs of a majority of the people in this country. The idea of shame is becoming a non-starter, almost in the same fashion as it did right before the fall of Western Rome in the early 5th C.A.D.

But, putting that aside, and allowing no matter to what you believe God wants, marriage is a legal contract which has legal consequences. Those consequences, in many cases, protect the children of those marriages in a divorce of the legal parents, and provide for judicial relief in many cases of irrational wills of one of the legal parents. While we all hope for justice for ALL people - children included - only bona fide heirs through certified birth from legal marriages or legal adoption can be certain of justice (assuming the courts are not corrupt, as they are in Illinois).

Bastardy can negate such assurances, or worse, it can force the child to depend upon the serendipity of a liberal or progressive court. If people do not care for themselves, that's one thing. If they extend that incompetence to the point that it effects their offspring, that is unethical.

Having bastards is not brave. It isn't honorable. It may not be immoral, but it is stupid behavior.

For no other reasons than these, children should not be born into bastardy. When they are, such glorification of the creating partners does harm to the society. Scientific studies show the necessity of two parents in the home. Even Senator Padme got married before she got pregnant with Luke and Leia. But that was only a movie. And that's a shame, too.

The Greatest Mistake of Dumb Politicians
Some politicians and policy wonks think they are smarter than Dick Morris. This has proven, over time, to be a big mistake.

 
It isn't just that Morris is smarter than any five people, it's because he has PROVEN he is, in both Progressive and Republican venues. Right now, he's on the side of liberty and real freedom. He has a fool-proof plan, co-authored with Eileen McGann, to defeat those who would turn America an Italian fascist state.

Get the book. Trust me on this.

Liars, Damn Liars, and Obama
Not an act of terrorism? Well, this time, folks he's lying about a dead serviceman from Aiken. Murdered by a militant Islamicist. NOT an act of terrorism? I pray that the Lord will allow this boy's ghost to haunt that man in the White House into observable insanity. There are no epithets low enough to call this "gentleman."

Gaming Game-Theory
What if we just lied, and told America that things are getting better. Psychology is so important to the average business and retail consumer. If we could only fib our way through just another two or three months, wouldn't people be fooled enough to generate true employment numbers? We used to call it "jaw-boning," and one of the best B.S.ers was the infamous LBJ, right? He lied us into so many socialist programs, we have yet to recover. And in politics, that's success, isn't it?

I am proposing to you that this is exactly the scenario that is playing out in DC, and across America. An apparent rally, supported by falsehoods and "friends in industry"- who move the markets on very small volumes - has convinced even some honest news outlets to think that things are getting better.

For instance, every serious game-theory technician, who has looked at the current phenomenon, has written that the true unemployment numbers - using 1929 standards - is closer to 15% to 17%. They also say that the equivolume on the markets which had been much lower than in the so-called "good times," magically, has increased over the past two months - months following, in which the actual unemployment numbers had been fudged the most. Sure enough, people are talking about the possibility of a good economic outlook. Until Friday.

The DOW went down dramatically, today, but it does that. It also goes up, dramatically. But if the equivolume is large, the up-bubble may have burst. If not, DC's tricks and lies may have worked - for the short run.

Just Heard About Lou Dobbs..
Seems like a better fit for the feisty Money-Journalist. Fox Business News has made an excellent catch, but you'd expect Neil Cavuto to make this move.

On the other hand, where does this leave my favorite reporter, David Asman?

I'm hoping that FBN has not reached for the shiny thing and let the quality china slip off the tea-cart. I like Lou, but I felt safe with David. He made me feel as if Fox had a real grasp on what was going on.. no matter how crazy things got on Wall and Broad streets.

I understand the move to Lou Dobbs for the 7:00pm (ET) slot. FBN has to go up against the wildly popular, Shep Smith, on sister network, Fox News Channel. I just hope they don't throw away a superior journalist - David Asman.

Progressive Denouement
In my world, the world of theatre and film education, there is a point in the plot where things begin to unravel. We call that point the French name for "unraveling," which is "denouement" (DEH-NOO-MAW).

One does not have to strain in order to witness the denouement of the Progressiveic Party. When almost every quote can be researched in a matter of moments on line, they continue to tell tall tales and make statements of falsehood and fantasy. There are those who, instead of lying, simply talk drivel, until the boredom makes the listener turn away with unbelief and aching head.

It has become a time of misunderstanding, misdirection, misapplication. And as I wrote before, it is a purposeful campaign of strabismus. hoping that the hail of phony charges and sloganeering will make honest people cross-eyed. The Progressives are throwing all the mud they can find, even slandering people of good intention and pure motives in hopes that SOMETHING will stick.

They know that if they lose this time (2012), it could well be the end of the Progressiveic Party. In the cynical hope that there are enough lazy people in America to become an impediment to the eternal desire for freedom and self reliance, they employ their union thugs to bully and their pseudo-intellectuals who fill Northern colleges and Northern-thinking colleges to intimidate real thinkers. That's real denouement!

Speaking of Northern Colleges..
There are people, right now, in an Illinois university, actually debating whether or not it's a proper intellectual pursuit to have a live sexual exhibition in a lecture hall. (Naturally, missing from the discussion is the fact that there are, already, tons of information on Roman theatrical practice which negates the necessity of the exhibition, and the obvious lack of distinction between the differences between research and pedagogy - or the obvious lack of distinction between college and the internet)

It's not that sex shouldn't be taught in school, it's just that scholarship has become such a shell game in some institutions of higher learning, that students don't know the difference between heads. And on this one, there is no-one to blame but the Progressives and their eternal parsing of terms which have been misdefined to begin with. Donkey see, donkey do.

Fortunately, there are warning signals. The glorification misinformation and slander to avoid correction are dead giveaways of political desperation.

Hang onto your hats. It's going to be a bumpy ride! Fortunately, it's almost over.
