EX-MACHINA MOVIE

saw the movie. its sorta' ok. basically its about the superiority of women. at the end the woman (created as a robot) frees herself and trashes the men. this was probably done better w/o the robots by bette davis or joan crawford in some 1930s movie.

ho, hum.......

BRAVE DENTIST AND DICK CHENEY CAN KILL CAGED ANIMALS
OR
NEW JERSEY UBER ALLES

the brave dentist killing the old, tame and caged lion is something the g w bush administration might take pride in. only a dentist from new jersey would be proud of this event. the cost of this trip is most significant since the appearance of being rich is the only characteristic we in new jersey value. mainly to the mentally challenged of the garden state which is most of the people.

this is one way you climb the social ladder in new jersey: kill or hurt something helpless.

yes i know the guy is from minnesota-tomato/tomahto.

BUCK ROGERS

wikipedia
Buck Rogers is a fictional character who first appeared in a novella titled Armageddon 2419 A.D. by Philip Francis Nowlan published in the August 1928 issue of the pulp magazine Amazing Stories as Anthony Rogers. [1] A sequel, The Airlords of Han, was published in the March 1929 issue.



when we fnally moved from (ugh) new jersey about 16 years ago my book of collected works of buck rogers in the 25th century disappeared. i think my wife threw this great classic away thinking it was junk. i on the other hand was under the delusion that this great collectible classic was of great value.

well, i was really relieved when i think i found on amazon that a used copy is practically worthless.

The Collected Works of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Hardcover – January 1, 1969
by Dick Calkins (Author, Artist), Phil Nowlan (Author), & 3 more
.....Used $13.49 plus shipping
Used: Good


some of the material in the book is precious today like the rocket ships with open cockpits and people standing up in them as they travel or wilma deering at times running around in skimpy clothes with a vagina shaped jewel in the appropriate place.

i may buy this copy because i can and to see whether this valuable document can be so inexpensive.

IT WASN'T HITLER, IT WAS GERMANY

spending the afternoon watching talks on c-span3 about the rape of belgium during ww1 by the germans. the germans didn't disappoint me. they exhibited their paranoia, barbaric behavior, greed, and cruelty which really shouldn't be a surprise. to herbert hoover's cred1t is the injection of american charity into begium's travail.

Herbert Hoover and Belgian Relief in World War I

".... The Life of Herbert Hoover: The Humanitarian, 1914–1917, is also a book about politics, again of a special sort: the politics of philanthropy and humanitarian relief on a scale previously unknown and unimagined. ....."


"For his (Hoover's) efforts, he became an important wartime adviser to President Woodrow Wilson, who made Hoover a part of the American delegation to the conference of the Treaty of Versailles."

if you know anything (now i do) about ww1 you'll know that the germans in spite of their whining and thirst for revenge got off easy with the treaty of versailles. they were evil and at fault.

it is now clear to me that winston churchill's comments about germany at the end of wwii were based on his experience and clearly justified.

TRUTH IN HEALTHCARE REVISITED IV

AMBULACE RIDE

i was to be transferred from the hospital to the rehab facility by ambulance. they were late. distressed and unhappy about that stay at the hospital and with the quack doctor assigned to me suicide started to be an option. one more minute in this f'en place might push me over the edge.

the doctor was trying out various vender gadgets and crazy ideas on me presumably because i was dying anyway. finally i put a stop to his quackery. being so unhappy and sick i was toying with the idea of jumping through the window and down from the 10th floor. the window appeared very sturdy and the whole suicide plan suddenly didn't seem to be a very good idea. oh well-forget it.

while i was still alive (but not screaming) the ambulance arrived late of course. scary but interesting was when they let me off the bed i found that i could not hold my own weight. the driver had to hold me up. finally while i was cheering the gurney was pushed out of the building up the ambulance ramp into the compartment. i was happier even though the driver didn't seem to miss a pothole on the way to the rehab facility. ethnic radio music filled the vehicle. it started off ok but gradually i developed a loathing for it.

when he was about to leave i said, "i hope you don't miss any potholes on the way back".

saved, saved, saved. the bed was comfortable with all the appropriate bedding. excellent food was served. the room was large and tastefully decorated. life may not be perfect but it was better.

yes i know you just don't care. move on down the line.

TRUMP JACKASSISM VASTLY UNDERSTATED

as you know lindsey graham called trump a jackass. i'm sure he toned down his true feelings. as demonstrated by trump today he went on and on and on attempting to demean graham. all he managed to do is make himself look like a jackass. hitleresque i would say in all his loud inaccurate ravings which would sell in 1930s germany.

COULDA' BEEN SOMEBODY

during the second war against the german murderers food and gasoline and other stuff needed for our war effort were rationed because of shortages.

after the war ended and in 1946 (after the germans were responsible for the deaths of over 2% of the world's population) it is claimed that rationing ended. shortages continued for a long time. The Office of Price Administration was terminated in 1947, with its various functions reassigned to other federal agencies.

Billboard - Jan 25, 1947

https://books.google.com/books?id=choEAAAAMBAJ
Vol. 59, No. 4 - ‎Magazine - ‎Full view
... Representative Merrow, of New Hampshire, introduced a bill which' calls for the end of sugar rationing, price control ...


when i was 15 (or 16) while vacationing in 1946 (or 1947) with my parents i met elaine whose father was a butcher and whose mother displayed rings and jewelry on all exposed skin. butchers were the kings of consumer food distribution, revered by housewives. elaine took a liking to me which i admit was not hard to do. she lived in brooklyn and i lived in the bronx. a divide so great for one of my age that she might as well be living on pluto and also i didn't have a clue as to what to do with a girlfriend. thinking back i know i could'a been somebody. a butcher's delivery boy leading a life of unlimited privilege and wealth. certainly better than working with engineering idiots in the defense dept. and new jersey for 30+ years. FYI: i wandered aimlessly like the biblical israelites in the new jersey wasteland for almost 40 years.

PLAYING THE DIPLOMA CARD

its always good to talk about your phd. people are impressed. there is an excellent chance that they will never realize that you are a delusional moron.

you sat through 200 or 300 incredibly boring college credit hours. this is to your credit for your discipline and dedication but my dog can do the same thing.

be sure to learn new words that only you and william buckley understand and he's dead. if anyone else understands you, you have not fulfilled your phd union requirements. and speak softly so that people must bend towards you to hear you. make sure you mention your phd. did i mention that you should say phd as often as possible. speak only to people who have an appointment to see you. you may plagiarize as one of your perks. no one can know everything. if bearded, stroke it frequently. smoke a pipe and blow the smoke in the face of your audience. being an absolute jerk seems to be a plus among phds. having a phony accent is admired (kissinger or buckley for example). be sure to mention how difficult your life has been. if you do not have the stated diplomas and documentation don't worry about it because no one will authenticate your background. these are some of the tricks you must use to intimidate your audience.

you must use these tips because you have no natural ability.

employers will hire a phd over the average homeless person. can't blame them. i would do the same.

i have more complaints but i'm getting bored with this.

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

just saying'. when i was a kid my phd uncle had me take a magazine published IQ test. i got 14 of the 15 questions correct. i asked him how many he got right? he said, "10". i'm sure he decided the test was at fault. he's been dead for many years but i'm still angry over the misinformation he gave me which i followed.

he whipped me at chess when i was a kid many times. one day when i was in college i challenged him to a game and avenged all my previous defeats whipping his butt. you are only as good as your last game.

MOVIES IV

its amazing how much better movies are today than when thomas edison was making them. i've seen this with my own eyes. when i was a kid in the mid 1930s my aunt florence took me to the movies. the freeman theater on southern boulevard under the el was one of them and showed the oldest and presumably the least expensive movies available.

The Freeman Theatre opened around 1922 with a little over 1,600 seats. It was located on Southern Boulevard between Freeman Street and Home Street.

The Freeman Theatre closed during the 1970’s, and sat vacant until it was demolished in early-2015.


there were interesting movies like the one with a folding bed that opened and closed - awesome.

the scariest was the one with an ape that murdered people in their beds by reaching through the heating duct grate. i worry about this to this day when near a heating duct.

today these movies are considered classics for intellectuals and would cost you extra. for this alone i am happy not being an intellectual.

RELIGIOUS NEWS

i have had an epiphany. i realize that the ancient romans had it right. they had many gods. the world today is too complicated to accommodate a single being sitting on his throne scratching his various areas doing whatever comes to his mind for whatever vague and obscure reasoning.

even in today's world a variety of people believe in spirits, elves, fairies, saints, ghosts, and other beings with a variety of influence over the alleged supreme being. obviously their influence is more equal than imagined as bad things seem just as likely to occur as good things. since there is no way of satisfying all sprites, spirits, goblins or trolls at the same time then just give it up. on the other hand just smile at everybody or every spirit.

my personal favorites are lady luck and murphy of murphy's law fame. they get their kicks by making my life as miserable as possible. they laugh and laugh. many times i send them packing when i feel well. do not try to appease them because they feel even happier and try harder.

so much for religious training today.

when my group got one of the first apple 1 or something computers an employee was afraid to touch it. i assured him that it wouldn't break to no avail. he was afraid of it.

a boss told me not to spill coffee on it. so clever of him. he never did anything useful anyway. he carried a ledger around and appeared to take notes presumably for some important purpose.

in the dilbert comic strip of that time the boss was given an etch-a-sketch and told it was a computer. i believe it could have been a true story.

a division chief told a computer knowledgeable employees to just put a job in the computer. the employee told me he didn't know where the division chief wanted him to stick it. after the chief overheard this employee say that the chief was a horse's ass he had to transfer to another group.

earlier, when he was under investigation, that disgusting ogre, robert bork, was hired to do some of the legal dirty work.

TRUTH IN HEALTHCARE REVISITED IV

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT NURSES BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK

some nurses and their helpers were absolutely super going far beyond what you would expect a person to do. occasionally you would find one who did not have a clue as to what they were doing. how these workers even got into the building is a mystery.

one assistant (certainly not of nurse caliber) must have last worked in the brazilian outback or tierra del fuego. she would not take away a bed pan or do rational nurse duties. after giving me some drugs she asked whether i was bradley? no, i'm not bradley. he's next door. she stood serious and quiet for a few seconds then smiled and left. this particular nurse seemed to have her own unique methods probably made up as problems arose. i loudly reprimanded her for various irregular actions and told her she did not know what she was doing.

on another hospitalization a nurse or assistant backed into my foot and then accused me of molesting her. i objected strongly concerning my innocence. women in general seem to think all men are after them. not true. never saw her again.

a young nurse trying to fix the attached urinary collection device caused me to slightly respond to her touch. probably - maybe it was an illusion since i'm old and sick. she seemed to flush and walked away finishing her work later. did she flush? i thought so but it could of been anything or nothing. just my retarded male reptile imagination? actually, i don't think so.

another nurse was extremely helpful giving me some batteries for my radio and a super-duper plastic urinal which was necessary at the time.

nurses seemed to be immune to any disgusting thing that occurred or nakedness of the sick or old or fat. for various reasons every few minutes someone would ask me to expose myself. they squeezed my stomach or just looked and asked me if anything hurt. after about an army of people wandered through and examined me i was on the edge of hurting because of all the squeezing. since no one seemed to care that my clothing was in disarray why should i care? one day a nurse asked me to coverup. what the ------? whoa, i didn't think anyone cared?

one elderly lady orderly seemed to come into my room every half hour or so taking blood samples and checking my glucose level. nothing was ever wrong and the results were always about the same. i suspect she was mentally challenged given her job because the management may have had to create the position.

of course what do i know? these are medical professionals (sorta').

D-DAY

as you know on june 6, 1944 american and allied forces landed on french soil to oust the bastard, ignorant, murdering germans from europe. german tribes haven't learned much since their ancestors invaded civilization in about the 1st to 4th century rome. the USA suffered over 2500 fatalities on d-day.

there is a myth still alive today among the ignorant that the germans were trying to save us from communism when clearly their invasion was a power grab. they indiscriminately bombed london and other cities killing civilians and destroying as much as possible. winston churchill had some ideas for germany after the war. he wanted to turn germany into one big agrarian space. 50-60 million people (over 2%) of the world's population were murdered by them.

who holds a grudge?

during a guided tour of normandy the french guide took the group to both the american and german cemeteries. to him it seemed irrelevant as to who was the occupying force. seeing the german grave sites relieved some of my anger and hostility.

more hallucinations and dreams in hospital:

in addition to my teleportation dream described here on april 20, 2014 i can recall only two other hallucinatory/dream experiences.

in one the nurse of the day put her hand on my knee and later appeared in just her under garments being very well endowed. this particular dream was so realistic that i didn't realize it was just a dream until much time had passed. only after i separated the parts did i know it was all one dream. one of the clues was that the view from the room in my dream was different from my real room. i was actually wondering in the dream why she didn't know that i was too sick (and married) for any physical activity. i know. its because i'm adorable.

in another dream/hallucination i had accidentally climbed into a dumpster instead of a chair on a moving sidewalk in a movie theater in washington heights in new york city. i was too weak to climb out. the theater was going to open at 9 am. i could actually see the real clock on the wall of my room. the time on the clock and the real time showed it was about seven o'clock. i was cold and i must have rang a (real) buzzer that was available. a person came to the door. it was the real nurse (i think) for my room. she asked what i wanted and i told her that i wanted to get out of the dumpster and stay in the warm lobby until the theater opened. she must have answered something and went away. this ritual went on for awhile. unfortunately i don't recall how this ended or some of the finer details of this dream/hallucination.

i think i was in this illusory theater before in other dreams but that could just be part of this illusion.

the wapo had an article this week about hallucinations people have in hospitals. my illusions are not scary in any way and are usually just interesting.

JOE SCARBOROUGH SUSPENDED

i have put joe scarborough on suspension from my tv for one day, today, for his knowledge free right wing views yesterday for his comments on minimum hourly wages in particular.

ok, its after 9 am. your sentence has been served.

all the small-small businessmen agree that there should be no minimum wage because it squeezes their profits or non-profits. they clearly should not be thinking that they should be in business. they need psychiatric help with their inflated egos.

get a job.

TRUTH IN HEALTHCARE REVISITED II

(presently, i go to six doctors ranging from good to excellent. occasionally you experience a bad doctor who can ruin the reputation of all the others)

bizarrely i was subjected to some events which reflect on some of the incompetent or glory and money seeking doctors although i was not subjected to many of them.

over the past 17 months since transplant i have been admitted to hospitals about six times (i've lost count) and a rehab facility twice. its a miracle that i still live in spite of some of the very few but deadly incompetents. one of my regular doctors said that i didn't have these problems prior to the transplant and that he thought peri-dialysis was preferable. of course this is monday morning quarterbacking or better yet fourth quarter quarterbacking and i'm a touchdown behind. this analysis should be done after my fourth quarter is over.

during one of the hospital stays i was given about a 50-50 chance of survival in the ICU. i was a perfect subject for experimentation (for a high school lab) being a breathing cadaver.

i was subjected to the whims of a doctor who was solely promoting himself. he may have had deals with vendors of medical gadgets. the particular vendor this day was testing and selling various designs of oxygen masks. the odd and probably illegal test started late at night. no witnesses present. when i realized that i was the subject of this doctor's capricious and uncaring nature and these devices had no bearing on my improving my health i took off the device and refused to further cooperate. the vendor then told me that i promised (not even remotely true) to do this, and this was a test of several similar products. i told her that i never promised, i don't work for her, i am not a dogooder, and she should get out of here. later she apologized. why? i dunno. "just go away".

other abuses include five foley changes in one day. he made some lame excuses for having to do this. after i informed his boss about malpractice suits and the criminal justice system they backed off a bit. many doctors tend to believe in their greatness much like jihadists and other fanatics. couldn't get rid of the doc entirely as he wanted to give me s cardiac stress test and here i was as weak as a baby. i turned down an MRI after a test after which i saw flashes of light for a couple of days.

a friend of mine asked, "do you know where the phrase, 'get the F--- out of here'." came from'? he said if you are involved with a doctor of this nationality (like mine but not of american origin) you must say the magic words, "get the F--- out of here".

lesson learned: stay out of hospitals.

on the plus side the transplant unit i was in initially was outstandingly well run. i commend all their staff.

MOVIES


i was thinking (yes i can think) this morning of the movie, "the graduate". y'know its ending is really stupid. you can't live on love alone. the hero, dustin hoffman, manages to run off with the bride who would have married a rich, good looking guy. she opts to run away with unemployed hoffman, a short dumpy guy presumably attractive to women (duh...i dunno) taking a bus (who paid the fare?) and in their ignorance apparently think they will live happily ever after. of course their relationship will self destruct as soon as they get hungry.

i guess this ending gives hope to all the average ugly, stupid guys.

among other highly over rated movies include, citizen kane, which i think i took apart a few years ago. among movie people the reference to rosebud is the name given to a tattoo on hearst's girfrind, marion davies' pubic area.

ON POLITICIANS, PEOPLE, AND DENNIS HASTERT


astonishing to me is the disconnect between dennis hastert's appearance and his actual lifetime performance. obviously my judgement of first impressions, people's appearance and who they really are is dysfunctional. i suspect most people if not all have a similar problem.

what you see is not what you get.

TRUTH IN HEALTHCARE REVISITED I


(not being of previous generation's drug culture and of sound mind (i think?) i had not previously experienced hallucinations)

during an admission to the hospital after my transplant i experienced illusions and was unwilling to admit that they were not real. of course they were real. i'm not crazy, y'know. har, har, not me, har,har.

i actually thought it was impossible for someone as smart and realistic as myself to have visions and see things that don't exist. my daughter who years ago had worked in a hospital said such events are common. i was informed that sick people on drugs can see much unreal stuff. "not me", i thought.

strangely i was able to sorta' explain these illusions to myself for example:

the tiles on the ceiling had pictures being printed on a paper roll within a light fixture which i studied with care. the paper roll was moving across the ceiling and disappearing at the wall (or ..umm.. there were several rolls since all the tiles had pictures). i did not question why that was being done because i was in a hospital and a lot of strange things seemed to be happening. there were pictures of works of art, portraits, porn, architecture, statues. etc. sometimes a porn video was played. not my fault. i didn't turn it on.

being that i have always (without a doubt been rational) i did not question these events. i kept asking visitors to my room whether they saw the pictures. although i tried i could not convince anyone that what i saw existed. what was wrong with them? i dismissed their shortcomings as bad eyesight or lack of concentration.

another strange event was what appeared to be a black thread web in my room. my son walked right through it. clearly, i surmised that it must be projected with some device that was directed at my bed since even i could see it was not substantial. some strange psychological test???? after all the hospital was associated with a university.

i queried the visitors to my room and found that to my surprise no one else could see these things. why was this bizarre projection directed at me?? i guess other people experiencing odd things just don't mention them for fear of being considered eccentric. i figured that i was OK and the other people were deficient.

after a few days of talking to myself i had the following conversation:

"is it me?"
"maybe."
"it probably is me."
"yes, its me."
"i can't believe it."
"believe it."
"OK."

i'm fine now as i told elvis presley last night.

AIRHEAD I OR EMPTY THOUGHTS

DAR GENETICS - MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

let's just say you're related to john smith of jamestown fame. well lets examine your proudness of your lineage. jamestown landing occurred in 1607. lets just say that during the past 400 years there has been conservatively 15 generations. that means john smith genes are approximately 0.5 to the 15th power. for illustration you can see that the first generation has 2 parents. the second generation has 4 grand parents. so the 15th generation has 2**15th parents. meaning that there are 32768 people that have contributed their genes to your personhood. if john smith was one of them then he represents 0.003%. meaning that 99.997% of your genes were contributed by trash. so what are you so proud of?

nevermind.................
