TRUMP CAN WIN IT ALL
it is said that $10 billion will be spent by politicians on the next election cycle. clearly backers expect a big profit delivered from politicians on this investment. and who is expected to pay? guess....
i'm not a trump fan BUT although he is very flawed he's the only politician who will probably not be indicted or under investigation by our ... ummm ... honorable, honest, and impartial, sorta' justice system.
unfortunately we'll have to live with some crooks, liars, weasels. money grubbers, its unavoidable.
i can now see why trump can win everything.

DR. STEVE, U. S. DEFENSE DEPT. GENIUS
for thirty years dr. steve worked on the development of the door wedge. finally finding out that it was already invented he became an alcoholic and died in an officer's club restroom. in addition, he now was older and no longer attracted the skanks at the bar in a physical way. life was not worth continuing. visions of fame in the scientific community vanished. so sad.
his concept of the wedge developed over many years supported of course by tax payer money. in the beginning he tried bowling balls but found they rolled away from the door. the mathematics of his findings can be found in his technical report, NON-LINEAR FRICTION ANALYSIS.
later on he tried blocks of ice which melted and also slipped away from the door.
almost successful was the use of computer hard drives but the exposed circuitry scratched the floor.
INVENTOR OF THE WEDGE
finally coming up with a triangular shaped rubber device he was let down and depressed upon finding he was only 45,000 years late. so close. beaten out by a neanderthal man in a cave
his boss said that the U. S. DEFENSE DEPT. is always seeking new and innovative methods and he provides the environment for scientific inquiry and growth. he praised dr. steve for his harvard-like new england accent and for always carrying a manila folder around when not at his desk.

CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE
i must have slipped into an alternative universe, or my wardrobe sucked me into narnia or did i go through the looking glass. at any rate somehow the phrase corporations are people keeps pounding in my head. this is most bizarre and surreal. i wonder how this could have happened?
corporations are people...corporations are people...corporations are people...
i must have hit my head because this would be ridiculous. concussions and also old age cause delusions.
somehow in this time warp anomaly the supreme court must have had something to do with this and they did. y'know the supreme court is made up of old people and i wonder how reality based they are.
in this realm soylent green is people. i guess i may have gotten into the movie somehow.
sooooo, both corporations and soylent green are people. of course.

its now two years since my doctor officially declared me dead. so i fired the doctor. science is so wonderful. y'know, bumble bees can't fly.
its not that there are not enough scientists and engineers in this country, its that there are too many of them. most of poor quality. separating the "wheat from the chafe" is difficult or impossible. having worked with such people in our defense dept. i can assure you that at least 5% of them are good. the rest of them should be working in mines or factories in some janitorial job. changing a light bulb is a challenge.

WINTER WEIGHT ANALYSIS
(WITH APOLOGIES TO THE HARD WORKING AND COMPETENT PEOPLE IN THE U. S. DEFENSE DEPT. (WHO ARE SWALLOWED UP BY THE MEAT MACHINE AND INCOMPETENTS AMONG MANAGEMENT AND HUMAN RESOURCES)
using the latest U. S. DEFENSE DEPT. scientific, and mathematical techniques including multi-variable regurgitation, analysis of deviates, divergence of sputum induction, dr. professor meatball's theorem, and an embarassingly large amount of money for useless contractor salesmen we are investigating the cause of increased winter weight among executives, officers, and the skanks of the defense dept.
so far it appears that eating, drinking, and not getting off their fat asses is the major cause. talking, flirting, and hanging out in officer's clubs and the rest room does not burn body fat.
dr. professor bozo meatball, leader of this program and graduate of (ugh) new jersey colleges and universities has devised a complex statistical method using only your fingers and toes. he considers himself a genius with degrees: ms in oral activities, phd in bar hopping, ahole studies, and draft dodging.

"Chapter 7: A Mad Tea-Party
There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and the talking over its head. `Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,’ thought Alice; `only, as it’s asleep, I suppose it doesn’t mind.............’ "

TRUMP NOT A CITIZEN
trump's eligibility is in doubt.
my investigation to date reveals that Power Girl (real name Kara Zor-L, cousin to superman,. native Kryptonian. Her origins have changed several times in continuity when the Multiverse was erased. Current alternate identity: Supergirl and mother of our donald trump born don-el. this proves that he is an alien and explains his super powers which he can attest to.
my investigators will continue to search for the truth as they did with president obama.

my theory is (y'know what buffalo chips are?) that those ufos when they land (usually in nevada) empty their - ummmm -- you know - moon rocks and fly away.

Army Deploys Psy-Ops on U.S. Senators

February 23, 2011 11:55 PM ET
"The U.S. Army illegally ordered a team of soldiers specializing in "psychological operations" to manipulate visiting American senators into providing more troops and funding for the war ........"
why is this a surprise? every nitwit in the defense dept. thinks he is saving and ruling the country. my wife's hair stylist (alcoholic) husband came into the salon one day and said the "gulf of tonkin" incident was not too important because he was not called to a meeting. amazingly, the self-importance of defense dept. personnel goes right down to the bottom.
right now i am controlling your mind by my thoughts; thinking, thinking ----- "meet me at the officer's club at 1800 hours".

179TH AND VYSE, BRONX, NY (PART XXXX): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN (ugh) NEW JERSEY
in the early '40s it was fairly safe for a tween to travel the subway system around nyc. i was only abused once very briefly (and walked away) on the subway system which scared me but here i am. perhaps - probably the guy moved to sussex county new jersey where he belongs and got a job in the human resources department at my defense intallation. who knows? DOD PLEASE NOTE just sayin'.
during high school, assignments requiring attendance at some of the nyc museums in manhattan was required . so i knew my way around nyc.
for my 13th birthday a great uncle gave me $20, probably the rough equivalent of at least $200 today. i went downtown and squandered this fortune in one day. i went to a penny arcade, took a tour of nbc studios, the museum of science and industry which was in the basement at 30 rock (which no one remembers but me), bought some luminous paint (musta been radioactive.), had lunch, and other stuff, returning home broke.
yes i should have turned this money over to my parents and never seen it again. they would have done the same things i did only without me.

179TH AND VYSE, BRONX, NY (PART XXXXI): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN (ugh) NEW JERSEY
(continued)
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, AMERICAN STYLE -----
with many ex-gis home after the bastardgerman warii, it was inevitable that our guys would initially be hanging out at the corner candy store with nothing much to do. one day a police car rolled up and caught some of them red handed pitching pennies. they were cited or something and will go the rest of their lives with this stain on their record.
some other major crimes at the time; like the time i had to appear in court for ball playing at the beach and the time me and artie were picked up for talking to each other in the street. they let us go after driving us a few streets away. i'm sure that artie's telling them of our right of assembly under the constitution of the united states had a big influence on them.
THANKS TO THE EVER VIGILANT NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT A MAJOR CRIME WAVE WAS AVERTED.

RETRO DON'S POST - ON FISHING
FROM: 179TH AND VYSE, BRONX, NY (PART XXXXIII): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN (ugh) NEW JERSEY
FISHING (UGH)
my dad loved fishing. on his one day off, most of the time he went on boats to long island sound. fortunately for me, he rarely took me along. he awoke me early-early in the morning. (groan). first we would pick up some great coffee and sandwiches (the best part) from his store. then usually we would go over to westchester avenue (near the el) where the bronx river widened out to enter the sound and board one of the fishing boats moored there. twice we went out to long island via lirr (early, early, early in the morning).
i know its me not you. i find fishing boring and tedious. exposure to water, the elements, the uncertainties of waterways, and the motion of the boat do less than nothing for me. tying hooks, cutting up worms or other bait and skewering it is gross. sorry dad, i just can't hack it. you're the man!
on one occasion i reeled in the day's prize fish. my dad split the prize money with a friend we were with. i'm still waiting for my share. who holds a grudge?
fishing sucks.

ON PENSIONS, BUSINESSMEN, CABBAGES, AND KINGS.
-"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings."
in retrospect my guaranteed pension was the pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow. the carrot at the end of the stick. if it were not there, working with nitwit scientists, engineers, and secretarial skanks (in a new jersey defense dept. installation) would have been immeasureably more difficult than it was.
in addition if the govt. had paid the actual interest rate on the pension funds there would be no problems. if in some states like .. umm .. new jersey the politicians had made their obligated contributions there would be no problem.
meanwhile, business men waiting for their next victim to step into their business web while watching fox news are feeling sorry for themselves imagining that they are working. they're upset over these pensions as they balance their two sets of books waiting for their homestead rebates. i have two words for them: ---- ---.

Co-worker: my good friend fell down a flight of stairs and died .... sob, sob, whimper.
Me: thats so sad. how did that happen?
C: he was at a party and had a few drinks and stuff. he stepped outside to get some fresh air when it happened.
M: so he was drunk?
C: he also had some recreational drugs. very little.
M: just a few drinks and drugs?
C: we both got our phd's at the same time. he was so smart.
M: sooooo, he was very smart and was drinking and taking drugs and staggered outside for some fresh air and fell down a flight of stairs and died and thats why i should feel sorry for him and you.
C: he was just having fun .... whimper, sob, whine, whine, whine.
M: apparently he was not smart enough. i guess they'll give phds to anyone. all you have to do is pay them money and sit on your butt through hundreds of class hours. these things happen when you drink and take drugs. i guess you can make a (faux) silk purse from a sow's ear as they say. suck it up.

can't wait for the tea party to take over. i clearly remember the good old days when we didn't need money, mainly because we had no money.
dusty unpaved roads were so much fun to travel. passing hooverville towns were always interesting to view as your model T, rolled by.
when the tea party takes over it will cost you a nickel each for a subway trip, a phone call, two rolls, and a cup of coffee - yea.
in the good old days health care was free. you went over to fordham hospital and died. simple and easy.
we don't need any stinkin' signal lights, schools, or fire depts. volunteers can take care of everything just don't count on me. i don't volunteer for anything unless it involves water skiing.
