You Know What To Do

Some phrases in the English language are absolutely pregnent with meaning and this is one of them. The FBI alledgedly told Martin Luther King "You know what you need to do" when the implication was that he should commit suicide. One has the feeling Sean Brady just "Figured out what he had to do" to atone for his tormented contience. Only time will tell. "You know what to do" should have been the 42nd. song on an EMI beatles album. As you know there is the "black out square" on the "Hard Days Night" album and people want to know what it means. The song should have been a song already in first draft by George but apparently they "ran out of time" and couldn't spare the few hours it would have taken to polish the song so they didn't use it. Those into numerology and cybernetics know that the number 42 is one zero one zero one zero. One and one and one makes three. Do you know what the actual 42nd. Beatles song is? "No Reply". Some people when told by a priest or Dr. Laura or Jesus Christ "You know what you need to do" give by way of response "No Reply". I can't say as if I blame them in a lot of cases. Today that blind priest talking to Sheridan on "Passions" was chastrizing her for "Impure motives". But it's my guess that if the "impure motives" card were played on the Catholic Church it would be doomed literally from the moment it was conceived (note the double meaning) and the original scriptures were compiled. You know Jesus Christ said something interesting last Sunday. He said, "There IS no such thing as Spiritual Goodness". I was going to call this file, "Did you really mean that?" People say things they don't mean because they want to win an argument. It it believed by many on Judgement Day that we will all "Know what to do", that we will all know instantly "where we stand" with eternity. (Selah)

I wonder if George Bush "Knows what he needs to do" right now. He must be wrestling with the idea of whether to end the Iraq War or not like everyone is telling him to, or else to persevere on his own. I have this dark suspicion that our President "Hears the Voices" but they aren't the ones that lead tword a rational decision. All these Republican congressmen and senators are turning against their president. Another rejected choice of blog title was "Time IS an Object" because so many Christians say "Time is no object". Time is always an object as long as we live here on planet earth, and for most rational scientists, that is "All There Is". It would seem that time is clicking down on our troops because they are saying that this Surge can't be pursued past April of next year and at that time troops will have to be withdrawn. If this is so you can expect our president to be forced to withdraw kicking and screaming all the way like Lucas Roberts in the middle of coitus. I guess the question is what does it take to get the President off? He's lived this whole eight years of the adminestration for the propigation of corporation profit and oil revenues. It seems that if we left Iraq could use their oil resources, which are under utelized, to build up the infra-structure of their nation. There is a no confidence vote scheduled for the Meliki adminestration later this week, and if that happens, our cause in Iraq really be in shambles. You know today is a dubious sixth month anniversary. (another rejected title) If you will remember after the disasterous election the President told us that he had plans to make a major speech just before Christmas of 2006. But this date kept getting delayed and it was finally delivered apparently on January tenth 2007. This is when "The Surge" was announced, and we were informed it would take four to six months and then we'd know. But none of the "bench marks" we set for the Meliki government of Iraq have been met. This is the report being given to congress. So if the surge is a total failure we don't have to wait for Gen. Petrayas to give his September evaluation in two months. We already know the score. People have been saying that August was going to be a really bad month. Why don't we end all the future sorrow before it happens? I guess that Gravell guy said "Besides all the lives we've already sacrificed, just think of the lives that are Going to be sacrificed if we don't act to end the war now?" Is it too big of an abstract concept to think of Future consequences of our actions?

I've been getting vibes lately that somehow all this "Congressional Investigation" stuff is all going to go away. It's like watching a soap opera or a series you're really fermiliar with and no matter what is happening in the plot-line to this point, you know the ways of the Author and because you know the Author you can infer certain impossabilities that are virtually certain to happen ahead of time. I guess it's a case of Murphy's law, "What ever can go wrong (or right, depending which side you're on) will go wrong (or right). Sometimes you don't know HOW something will happen, only THAT it will happen. If there is one Great Truth I have figured out it's that we are no longer in the Watergate era and this is not the mid 1970's. We don't know what "Event" will come along to take our minds entirely off these investigations. You're the President of the United States with a lot of power. What would you do? The Annie Wilks in me likes things to make sense. I like to see continuity of history. But sometimes history comes in Jerks and not in a rational flow. (double meaning again) Sometimes in a soap opera things look like good will come and the bad guys will be caught and put away and good will prosper. But it doesn't happen that way. Some JERK intervenes into history and uproots things. I'm telling you this now so that when it comes you won't be surprised. If the democrats had had any balls President Bush would have been Impeached by now and on trial for his reputation in the Senate". We are told of all the back room deals made in 1999 or so, "If Bush ever became President". I guess we have to ask what back-room deals are being made right Now?

Well, the Boeing 787 is rolling off the assembly line. The plastic plane, which as Thom Hartman points out, was made all over the world. Everywhere except in Seattle. If you tape it it sounds like plastic. It gets twenty percent better fuel efficiency but is stronger and more durable than aluminum and doesn't corode like aluminum does. It seems to me a couple good blows with a hammer would do it in. Well, we all wish Boeing aircraft the best and hope it works out.

Thom Hartman clarified his oppinion on the Fairness Doctrine, since Stacy Taylor said he didn't agree with the Fairness Doctrine. It seems that other things like the purpose of a Corporation in the US is more important. It used to be law that the first artical of incorporation had to be "To Serve the Public Good". Now the first article is "To make big proffits". I must say the former requirement will certainly make for a more moral society. The trouble is Christians associate morality with sex, AND NOTHING ELSE. And TV networks used to have a separate News division that's separate from their sales and entertainment divisions. Therefore a news story could not be corrupted by pressure from a sponsor. The station manager could just say "You can't interfere with the News, that's the Law". No more. Reagen changed all that and what Reagan didn't abolish by way of FCC regulations, Clinton accompolished in 1996. When you scratch President Clinton, his liberal credentials are rather thin. I guess Michael Moore got in a shouting match with Wolfiwitz or something over at C N N. Liberals need a propagandist like Michael Moore to counterballance the onslaught of "Info-tainment" we get from the Conservative media. I'll support any Presidential candidate that will correct these wrongs.

Of course they're saying that President Bush should give up those E mails involving the firing of prosecutors. Also the President is believed to be involved in "Cageing". Let's just review what this is. It's disenfranchizing voters, mostly democrats. They get a notice in the mail saying to return some form to the registrar of voters, and if they don't they are taken off the voting lists even though they may be either students away at college or else troops fighting over in Iraq. I think we start to nail down specific criminal impeachable acts the President and Vice President have done. Of course the phrase "Executive Privelege" does not appear in the Constitution. The opperative word there is "Privelege". It isn't a "right" but a courtessy extended by congress to the executive branch. Larry Elder and Hannity and others say we need executive privelege or else "Frank and honist communication in the oval office would be styfled". And yet the President doesn't mind his people talking, just as long as it's not under oath and on the public record. The Supreme Court in 1974 with Nixon said executive privelege wouldn't hold if a criminal act were suspected of taking place. That should end the debate. I should end this blog pretty soon, but first I want to include some of the foregoing stuff:

Today is the sixtieth anniversary of the Roswell UFO landing incident, and tourists gathered there this weekend. The way I hear it it all revolves around some fabric that was found that was silvery and of amazing tensil strength and you couldn’t cut it or burn it, and it was nothing like anybody had in 1947. Of course Christians disbelieve in any Space Alien civilizations altogether and disbelieve as an article of their Faith. After all scripture says Christ died for the sins of this world, and this world only.

There is more violence in Iraq with bombing attacks where they aren’t used to having them. And now there is a no confidence vote scheduled against Melicki by parliament next week. Let’s pray to God they don’t succeed or we’ll be in Iraq till the end of the next decade. Things are chaotic enough as they are.

Congress is planning to investigate the Bush pardon of Scudder Libby last week but my guess is they’ll chicken out. I wouldn’t put it past the President that some National Emergency is going to be “scheduled” for sometime this month to knock this investigation off the tracks. Who wants to place a bet?

This government was going to schedule a major raid into Pakistan to try and rout out the number two man in Pakistan but we don’t want to risk bad relations with their government. It’s another shaky contingency we have to worry about.

Bottled water is now considered not ecological and now the “finest restaurants” no longer offer bottled water. When you think about it the idea of drinking bottled water is an absurd ecological hypocrisy. There’s all the plastic that goes into land fills but there’s also the oil consumed in ships to bring the water over from France to begin with and also the petroleum products involved in manufacturing the plastic.

They said this will be New York’s first heat wave since last August. The northeast has consistently been cooler than the rest of the nation.
