More Random Nureal Firings


Better

Life’s still an absurd farce – I’m just better with that idea.

Turandot was good – maybe a bit too much of ‘cast of thousands’ stage show but hell it’s the Metropolitan Opera you expect things to be over the top yes?

And in fairness I have to point out that this time it was the lead tenor who was Mr Tons o’ fun in the weight department. I know there is an idea that more weight lets you sing louder – and the back of the Opera house is very very far away but it does cut into the suspension of disbelief that you need. Still it’s kind of though, opera singers aren’t supposed to smoke or drink but eating is okay – they travel a lot from place to place, they get bored and one of the things you when bored is you eat. We ever get to the point we’re on tour – we will be plugging into City of heroes as much as possible. Modern tech.

Ms. Rice has said that she is ‘not inclined’ to answer the subpoena issued by the House committee. You know I may not be an expert on the law, but I don’t think your inclination is a valid reason not to answer a subpoena, I mean really kids – you do have to follow the rules here right? This is what you get if you spoil children. A) They don’t grow up and b) they think they can get away with anything. It’s odd really the “now George” tone of voice Nancy takes with W. I don’t think it’s intentional, its just he’s such a nitwit man child that the tone of voice just comes out. I think, reading between the lines, that she actually laughed in the man’s face during that private meeting last week, the moment he said “I never criticized your trip to Syria” he forgot this works with reporters but not with people with working brains.

One of Albert Gonzales little assistants has been subpoenaed and granted immunity from self incrimination and gets to testify – I suspect the young lady after trying to hide behind the 5th amendment will hide behind the extensive and hugely broad claims of executive privilege that the white house is making.

Why does this remind me of the time W went to testify before some senate committee he went with Dick Cheney. I’d say in tow but I understand that the Secret Service’s code name for Dick Cheney is Edgar as in Edgar Bergen (father of Candice and ventriloquist – Charlie McCarthy was his most famous puppet) so well draw your own conclusions.

It’s take you kids to work day here – you don’t see this at a Denny’s “yes honey, the fat sweaty man with a tie who yells all the time is my boss, see what happens you don’t finish school? Fat sweaty bald men get to curse at you.” Or a car wash “No son you’re missing the side view mirror” or a sheet metal plant.

“This boys and girls is an acid bath it takes, no you can’t put your finger in there, it’s acid. It’ll burn you, it’s acid, that’s – oh Jesus – well take you hand out of there! It’s a stamper. Well that would hurt doesn’t it? Harry get the first aide kit? Okay now it’s that not bad you weren’t going to use your pinkie much anyway during your life. Trust me. Okay now let me – now kids it’s not nice to call him stumpy –it’s just a finger.” – And so on.

As part of Malaria awareness day W did some kind of stupid dance with some people. Meantime his wife went on the today show and claimed – with a straight face – that no one is suffering like W is from the war.

Right.

Here’s my proposal; for the next election – each and every one of the candidates has to take a rigorous psychological series of tests. Hell they give them to guys who want to be the night manger at a Denny’s these days. And post them on the net for everybody to see.

I think the results would be interesting. Malignant Narcissism, Paranoia, delusional, psychopathic thinking, the lot.

Rudy Giuliani managed to piss off some New Hampshire votes the other day –but that’s the problem with Rudy. He’s brittle and easily moved to anger and stupid actions – like releasing the sealed juvenile records of a guy shot by cops to prove he had it coming to him.

Rudy’s main promise (as best I can tell) is I will do exactly what George Bush would have done but competently.

No he won’t. Listen while he was brave enough to not hide – like some – in the aftermath of 9-11 he also told his ex-wife he was divorcing her in a televised news conference. And because he blinked as a prosecutor – Michael Milken – instead of rotting away in jail – is a free man and a billionaire.

Oh god enough they are swine the lot of them.

We’ll see how the Iraq bill thing plays out – one sure bet – whatever the pundits say will be wrong.

Best off hand comment I’ve read in a while “Where am I going and what am I doing in this hand basket?”.

Peace, Love, brain functions
