Basically we all go about our own Business and hopefully we mind our OWN business unless our opinion is asked for. People hate Meddelers, because I know I do. Unfortunately these tea baggers won’t be happy till everybody thinks like them. Rush Limbaugh has come out and said as much on his radio show that he won’t be happy till everybody thinks like He does. And the thing is at the time he was not shown as to be as utterly expreme right as he has proved to be at his political core. Now this guy from North Dakota gets on the air on KNX and starts raving about how North Dakota doesn’t have an unemployment problem and their state budgets are balanced because unlike the federal government they were able to enact “real spending cuts”. Just a reality check here. Thom Hartman months ago said that North Dakota was one of the most progressive states in that they had their own State Banks. Therefore their financial system could afford to be run honestly and efficiently, without the usual machinations of private business. Secondly, North Dakota is blessed with lots of new oil revenues from the Western part of the state. To ignore these two big elephants in the room is to virtually lie to your listeners about WHY your state is doing so well. He failed to point out that in Wisconsin that they HAVE taken draconian budget cutting and anti Union measures and the jobs situation in Wisconsin sucks and ditto for Romney’s Massachusetts. And it’s pointed out, and I noticed it months ago but could not exactly put it into words- - that the Barock Obama presented by the Tea Party has virtually nothing to do with the real Obama but a comic book characture, and a rather poor one. The President once again in his Morning Message laid out “the way things are” and in time maybe his Message will sink in. This is that the United States has two percent of the World’s oil reserves, and yet we use twenty percent of the World’s gasoline and energy. It doesn’t take a college degree to see that no amount of drilling could feed our ravenous energy appetite. But in point of fact that oil drilling is way up now, and that production is up and U S innovation for new and better products is up. This is all good news. Also because of laws passed by this administration, automobiles will soon have to get 55 miles to the gallon. Already United States citizens are driving no more than they used to, but are using LESS fuel than they did in year’s past. This should be good news for Republicans concerned about foreign oil reliance, but of course it isn’t because they don’t really care about foreign oil. This guy from North Dakota then said something interesting. He said that North Dekotans wanted the Canadian pipeline because it would further buttress the economy because North Dakota was going to add Their oil to the pipeline. I never heard that before. I would have thought that with their Own supply of oil, laws of supply and demand would dictate that they would want to keep foreign oil OUT of North Dakota because it would insure higher prices for domestic producers. But apparently “Things don’t happen that way at all”, to quote the Who.
I guess Kofe Annon or whoever from the UN is meeting with Syrian leader Assad today to try and bring a negotiated end to the killing and violence there. Now the people are experiencing food and fuel shortages. Apparently Russia is talking of Syria “toning it down a little” now. I will repeat one of my big points in that if these Mideast crises get Solved, then this will ease tensions and drive US stock prices up and international oil prices down. And to paraphrase Paul Warwick, “Obama’s chances of re election go UP as oil prices go DOWN”.
In the news we have been having some really strange stories and nothing is stranger than the saga of this boulder they are transporting by truck bed to the Los Angeles museum to be in some “suspended in mid air’ demonstration. I’m confused. But some truckers are coming out to see the big rock just to see what kind of a big rig is towing the thing. Apparently the convoy averages only eight miles per hour or so because it’s such a major project and there are so many inclined grades in this area. Now the big rock is almost at its Destination.
The news last night on ABC was kind of a freak show of strange events. I compiled notes and last night highlighted them in a blog where I used Bullets for about the first time, and I added in quite a few more Bullets early this morning. Of course I wasn’t going to do another blog till, what was it I said “late Monday at the earliest”. Well as they say “the best laid plans of mice and men”. Maybe my schedule wasn’t as full as I thought. Suddenly areas of time opened up. I would imagine tomorrow being the anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan will spark press commentary world wide as people roomanate about how safe, or not, Japanese nuclear plants are. Somebody on the radio said any Nuclear plant was only 30% energy efficient at best. Of course it’s a well known fact that no insurance company will touch nuclear accident coverage, just as no pastor will want to ever take responsibility in the least that anything he ever says or advises people might be either wrong or damaging to them.
So how did Jesus reflect on his own death? He spoke of himself “being no more in the world” while he was apparently in his flesh praying in this world as follows. And all my things are yours, and yours are mine: and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name whom you have given me: that they may be one, as we also are. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name. Those whom you gave me have I kept: and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition: that the scripture may be fulfilled. Are there other examples? According to Hartman, the tea party likes to use this next scripture as justification for NOT giving to the poor. Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said: 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor? 6 Now he said this not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief and, having the purse, carried the things that were put therein. 7 Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial. 8 For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always. Well you heard him say it right there. But what were his feelings like going to the cross itself? Try this on for size. And there followed him a great multitude of people and of women, who bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren and the wombs that have not borne and the paps that have not given suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us. And to the hills: Cover us. 31 For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry? I actually quoted this one in my prophecy book in 1980. And of course everybody knows this final one. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted: My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me? 35 And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calls Elias. 36 And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come to take him down. 37 And Jesus, having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. I don’t see how you can accuse me of cherry picking scripture. This is how Jesus reacted to his own death, after all he was only human. Or when pressed, the majority of theologians will say so.
I was just doing you Take two. I was just doing your basic mouse preview of various colors and decided on this, which I guess is basically peachy. Things are just peachy today. It’s a nice day outside set to be another warm day in the winter time. This is Saturday morning March 10, 2012. I hope that Chili’s luncheon later on with you-know-who isn’t just a figment of my imagination. I think the secret to better blogs is to be a little “less out in front of them” by making what seeds I’m trying to plant just a little more obvious than at previous times. Like I say some blogs of the past must have hit people out of left field. Like that one in May of 2006 when I went on a rant about how come Mal Evans abandoned the Federation war campaign against the Centaurian Betas. Also there is one in the fall (maybe) of 2997 where I talk about the origen of the Universe is being a “perpetual falling machine” from one Black Hole to another but from then on the reasoning for it was rather awkward. And the one where I postulate not a new theory – it was one of Burt Lombard’s Mr. “Width if a Circle” guy, that the center of the Universe is basically almost Hallow and all the mass is at the edge of the sphere, the width of which may seem infinitessible if carried out this logic to extremes. The trouble is one again the idea was an old one but the execution of the theory in this August 2007 posting is one of the most awkward I have ever done. OK then. Point taken.
