TAX POOR PEOPLE

poor people not paying enough taxes.  they should pay their fair share.  for example:  saving them after yachting accidents; finding them after an avalanche when skiing; getting them off sinking cruise ships; searching the wilderness when they get lost.  obviously poor people are not paying enough taxes considering all the services they get.

mind boggling is the pretend problem that social security which has money in the bank is in "debtor's prison" while the total economic cripple DEFENSE DEPT. is funded every fiscal year.


WIKIPEDIA, "The Department of Defense's FY 2011 $137.5 billion procurement and $77.2 billion RDT&E ....... "

LA TIMES, "..... Social Security Trust Fund disclosed that the fund grew by $69 billion in 2011. ... "

USELESS IS THE NEW CREATIVE

useless candidate romney trying to persuade us that he's a leader.  the only leadership he's shown is at the canape table at the last gala ball  "mmmm... the caviar is soooo good".

he really said that he doesn't need to know anything.  he can hire people who know.  so what's his point - that he is useless?

MY THANKS TO JOHN GRISHAM

busy working my way through, john grisham's works.  he has to be one of the all time best story tellers.  some of his early books may have been stretched a little.  recent stories move along smoothly.  they are all hard to put down.

now in the middle of, "the litigators".  an interesting, amusing, and entertaining story of ambulance chasing attorneys.  reminiscent of some of the egocentric, bottom feeder lawyers i've known (or are they all that way).

i recently finished, "the testament", an overall memorable work, which seemed to have a cop-out finish.  so why did i tear-up at its end?

********************************************************************************************************************************

"... Obama and Mitt Romney are tied 46-46% in the latest CBS/New York Times poll ..."

amazing but true.   fortunately i don't give a darn or a heck.  just keep sending me my social security and medicare and keep them out of some government program.

ROMNEY UBER ALLES or Der morgige Tag ist mein! ('Tomorrow Belongs to Me')

and i thought that it was a new jersey soccer mom thing; that only mean girls grown up can be as bitchy as ann romney is.  then again lynne cheney is hateful too.  ..... ummmm ... they're both mormon.  mormon, new jersey soccer mom - same thing.


" ...... Ann Romney actually took the lead, again something the campaign has been trying to use her for: Sawyer drew her out on the stay-at-home-momtroversy, her own off-the-record comments that the brouhaha was an early birthday present and her husband’s political aims (“I think it’s our turn”). .... "

but you always have a turn.  is it ever anyone else's turn.

**************************************************************************************************************************

(“I think it’s our turn”). .... "


it is a family history event that when my mother-in-law's sister and family were being sent to a concentration camp and never heard from again by the germans during the bastard-german war ii, her polish neighbor was taking her things and said,"now its our turn".
 
so ann romney's uncalled for comment resonates in the 21st century.
 
stupid is forever.

*********************************************************************************************************************
AND A TRIBUTE TO THE REPUBLICANS AND THE ROMNEYS WHOSE "TURN IT IS":        Der morgige Tag ist mein! ('Tomorrow Belongs to Me')

PAY PHONES REVISITED

thanks to "Scouting NY"

in the old days when people used pay phones it wasn't all that bad.  you had an allotted amount of time with your connection and then the operator, a phone company employee would interrupt you and ask for more money.  you might think this was a bad thing.  no, many times you were looking for a way to end the conversation without appearing rude.  by claiming you were out of coinage the phone company would appear to be at fault when they terminated the call.  those greedy corporate people ended your discussion.  "phew, saved".

wapo:, "The U.S. Secret Service is investigating allegations of misconduct by agents who had been sent to Cartagena, Colombia, to provide security for President Obama’s trip to a summit that began there Friday."

 what great publicity. they're making Cartagena, Colombia the next great tourist destination. you can't buy publicity like this. even security people can relax here. if i were 60 years younger i'd be packing my bags.


every rich kid republican is tanning up and is going on this adventure. it doesn't get better than this.

tough luck, democrats, you just can't afford it.

MORE MEDICAL EXPERTISE

just sayin'

my relative's doctor gave her five years to live in 1956.  he gave her five years to live in 1960.  he gave her five years to live in 1970.  he gave her five years to live in 1980.  he died in 1985.

MEDICAL ADVICE - JUST SAYIN'

it would be nice if individuals could get periodic complete blood testing on their own because most can read the numbers just as well (maybe better and with more interest) than their doctors.  obvious benefits include big savings to taxpayers and patients.

most doctor's medical tests are similar to high school lab experiments. they are just put in files or plotted on graphs with absolutely no payoff except profits and beard stroking for the medical community.

ARMY DAYS XXVII

ARMY DREAMIN'

over the next 40 years after my army discharge i occasionally had bad dreams that i was drafted again.  i complained, wrote my congressman, and begrudgingly followed my orders.  lately though when i have had dreams of being drafted they seem so good.  i guess, youthful and vigorous is preferable to impending dotage.

if there is no war, army life is the softest touch possible.  no thought required.  hours are regular.  payday is always on time.  entertainment, sports, food, clothing, shelter, medical, and other stuff come with the job.  so you must deal with idiots but then any activity except being a hermit requires associating with annoying humanoids.

WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW?????????????????

twelve years after g w bush was appointed prez of the united states there is still incredible outrage at the supreme court's dictatorial decision especially after how badly the country was run into the ground.  inexplicably it would appear from the elections following and the republican re-control of congress the majority of americans like the "screwing up" of america.

WTHDIK!

it has been noted and discussed that most men in the single's scene feel they are irresistable but are runnung on empty.  my theory is that human male brains have many parts.  two of those parts are left over from our evolution.  there is the lizard brain part and then sitting atop is the drone brain part.  the other day there was a swarm of drones, maybe a thousand, on my property all feeling irresistable to the queen (and having engineering degrees).  i sprayed them with insecticide and hosed them down into the dirt.

179TH AND VYSE, BRONX, NY (PART LXIX): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN (ugh) NEW JERSEY --- BRONX DREAMIN'

BRONX DREAMIN':

haven't lived in the bronx since 1956.  so why do i have dreams about going back?  it wasn't that good.

last night i dreamed that i was looking for the lexington ave. line entrance at grand central station.  this is not an unusual dream.  its always night time.  sometimes i'm in washington heights trying to find the Z trolley going across manhattan and on to the bronx.  other times i'm in queens on a bus going across the bridge over the sound into the bronx.  i also have gotten lost in the nyc subway system trying to get to the bronx.  i've been in my car driving north from downtown nyc to the bronx.  i've wandered among apartment buildings in manhattan and then in the west bronx walking towards my section of the bronx.  on the wrong subway train going into queens or on some "el" line parallel to the third ave. "el".

i guess i'd rather be lost in the 1940s bronx than facing my end of days.

TOO MUCH MEDICAL ATTENTION. BEWARE THE MEDICAL/PHARMACEUTICAL COMPLEX.

ummm... nuthin' happnin' today.

its been nine months since my doctor declared me almost dead.  so i fired him and i feel fine --- sorta'.

being a normal paranoid person i believe that if there is not a conspiracy among members of the medical/pharmaceutical complex to generate profits, there is certainly a huge redundant unnecessary application of medical treatment and ministration.

assuming that my medical providers were doing their best and i'm still walking around mowing my lawn and functioning then it would appear that they reached the bounds of their limited knowledge and the end of their textbook and don't want to work too hard.

much too much medical attention.
