Here are the lyrics to the U2’s song used as the theme song for the Democratic convention. Cannot really add to the first stanza. -Tim

The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They’re advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground….

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don’t look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can’t see

I’ve seen you walk unafraid
I’ve seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Uh huh. RRiiiiigghhhtt. Let’s look at your proposed increase in the capital gain’s tax’s impact on retiree’s ability to pay their bills, Obama. You want to take it to 28%? Have you lost your damn mind?

Oh, yeah. I forgot. You want everyone to have to starve and live like paupers in a third world country on Social Security cared for by government doctors under a government healthcare system.

I have no doubt you cannot wait to tax the hell out of the middle class while you and yours dance with the elitist Soros in D.C.

Check out his comments here.

“We need American taxpayer money rebuilding America and putting people back to work,” Obama said, according the link just above. Well, hell, I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!!! Do you THINK that if you assholes were not taking nearly HALF my paycheck that maybe I would be spending, building, buying, and saving more?

Oh, I forgot again, didn’t I? We have a consumerist economy that is built on debt, not on savings.

Not be outdone, Ms. Socialist President, had the following to say: “As president, Barack is determined to change Washington so that instead of just talking about family values, we actually have policies that value families,” Michelle Obama said.

What she should have said was they want to implement their values so they can police families, especially Christian ones who do not approve of nearly half the planks of the Democratic party. Pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-free market…these are not Christian values, despite what 5th columnists such as the Marxists who hide their atheism behind their corrupted so-called theology and Catholic robes. I have no issues with the Catholic Church, but it is clear they have some lions tearing around inside totally opposed to God and freedom. 

Families run on values and live on paychecks. If you would get the government out of people’s lives and let this economy grow with the energy you guys want to keep strapped down, families would be just fine. Policies are for dealing with pest infestations, not something as sacred as a family. Perhaps we need a policy to deal with educators who think the solution to binge drinking on campus is to lower the drinking age, or that the way to deal with pregnancy and disease is to pass out condoms instead of teaching real values to the young. I would just about be willing to bet my rent payment (yeah, I decided not to participate in the subprime crisis and get a liar loan. Looks like that was a BAD decision, LOL) I would just about bet a rent payment that the educators who want to lower the drinking age are ALL liberals…like the Obamas.

Please, wake up America. The government cannot keep its promises to us because the laws of money simply do not work as they have led you to believe. Keynes lied.

…by Penn and Teller.

I have to say up front that I walked away from this series for a long time, mostly because they did a series on the Bible which I considered…you guessed it, bullshit. However, I may have been too hasty on the series as a whole.

Last night after a bad meal of fried chicken livers which slammed me to a dead stop, unable to move forward or pass out, I had to sit up most of the night. While all my darling PETA fans are probably cheering enthusiastically at my discomfort, I am sure, it served as an accidental reason to revisit the series. I had seen the big fella on Glenn Beck the other night and he seemed like a rational person for the most part on the issue of smaller government so I thought I would give the series another go. I couldn’t sleep anyway and after all, I did not want to watch Californication? (Actually, I did want to watch because the secretary of the writer’s agent is just smoking hot, but I resisted.)

Besides, it might not have been the chicken livers causing my upset, but the treefreaks, socialists and gay rights folks all meeting in Denver where I am sure the oxygen deprivation levels only contributed to the euphoria.

Hmmm…maybe we should check D.C. for an environmental catastrophe because it is clear they are not getting enough oxygen there, either. That, or possibly they are so busy being drunk or high, that logical thought is beyond them.

Anyway, back to Penn and Teller. Check out the series as I was too hasty in throwing them to the side.

Check out eco-anxiety, dolphin midwives, and channeling dolphin spirits telepathically in their specials on both issues in the series “Bullshit.” 

REMEMBER THIS! These folks are going to help choose the next president.

It is never fair to steal from someone. Your tax plan is nothing more than government sanctioned thievery. Just because you might be able to get the rest of the political whores in Washington to agree to let you have the enforcement power of the state to rob from people who are barely able to pay their bils once they are through paying their taxes does not change the essential nature of the act. It is theft with government collusion at gunpoint.

You do not, cannot, and will never be able to sufficiently tax the rich in order to pay for the lies and promises you make to the poor in exchange for their votes. You know this. Your billionaire backers know this. You want to help the poor, give them YOUR money.

Also, for the record, I do indeed question your patriotism and love of this country you have so greatly benefited from. Others do not because of the implementation of duckspeak. You should not feel to badly about that, though, because I also question the patriotism of every senator who signed onto the United Nations charter, the Law of the Sea treaty, the decision to increase our dependence on foreign oil, and those who subscribe to the lie that is Global Warming being atributable to human activities. This is an Convenient Lie being used to justify the United States coming under an international taxing scheme. Ought to be interesting to see how long that bullshit continues on before the Americans realize what you are doing, ought to be interesting indeed. There is one bright shining light of hope in all this. There is the outside chance that both poor whites and blacks will finally understand that they are not each other’s enemy because of the economic oppression you cause on both. One can hope.

As I say, you should not feel too badly about it because I only marginally give Senator McCain better marks. For him it really boils down to two issues, abortion and taxes. He believes life begins at inception while you, sir, are willing to allow babies to die in sinks when they survive the abortion process. I cannot imagine an SS Storm trooper having less concern for human life than to be willing to allow a newborn innocent child of God to perish in a cold metal sink, gasping for breath. McCain wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. So what? This idiot child of the Republic that we call the current Federal government will just keep spending until a loaf of bread costs a ten spot.

I suppose you will take comfort in my decision to vote for Bob Barr since my not voting for McCain will almost certainly help in getting you elected. I do admit to having mixed feelings on the issue, but McCain has only himself to blame really. He has ‘reached across the aisle’ so many times that I just cannot quite get the smell of socialism that sticks to him from his trips across the aisle out of my nose. At least I know going in what your agenda is, sir. Yes, I despise everything you openly stand for: gay marriage, unlimited abortion rights, and what is laughably called social justice…these things are horrors to my mind.

Here is an idea, though. If you are so hot on reparations, how’s about giving the descendants of the few survivors of the American Indian genocide wars enough money to relocate to any third world country on the planet. I am sure before too many generations we will build that country into something grand and you and those you support can fight over the scraps of the Republic.

God Bless America. I miss her everyday. She did not realize the very people she strove to protect under her skirts of armor plated ships, the ones she tried to rescue with her arms of titanium airstrike technology, the ones whose thirst for freedom was nourished with the blood of her soldiers, black and white, who were in many cases willing to go voluntarily, would rise up and use the laws she put in place to stab her to death in her sleep.

There is almost no limit to how badly I wish you would lose, nor how badly I wish I could see my way clear to stop the slavery that you and your philosophical kinsmen wish to impose on my children. That McCain is almost as bad is a real live pisser.

Good, good, and too TANJing bad.

You know, I never have understood what makes some men think they are entitled to rule others. Then again, as a practical matter I know that someone has to be in charge and make decisions. The difficulty lies in that most decision makers think that making decisions is a right, an entitlement, something they by both natural and Divine right have a claim to. It is not, it is a responsibility. If your people go hungry it is a failing on your part and, no this is not some call for more socialist male ruminant excrement. God will hold you leaders accountable when all this is over with. Believe it or regret it, up to you.

The Russians invaded Ossetia, part of Georgia. The Russians did it because they claim the Ossetians wanted it, that Georgia was oppressing the Ossetians. The irony is that the reason the Russians are helping the Ossetians is because they are pissed that the Georgians, God only knows why, did not like living under some hardhearted Communist country ruled by former and possibly current KGB thugs who value human life about like I value those of my goldfish…good for amusement, watching them do their thing is relaxing, I feed them more or less regularly when I think about it, and flush them down the toilet when I get bored and want something else to do.* They used to say the rich are different. It is not true, they just have more money. The ones who are different are those who wish to exalt themselves above the other sons of our God, whose lust for control of others keeps them wide-eyed awake till the early morning hours. The freaks probably get an erection every time their sphere of influence is enlarged. Who really knows what drives these genetic anomalies in the human race?

What exactly are we fighting for, folks, now today? This is nothing more than a resource war. The three amigos, or what I like to call the Triumvirate of Tyranny, composed of the United States, Russia, and China are laying long term claim to the world’s resources and making plans such that there is no one able to challenge them when the Peak Oil theorists are proven correct.

Europe just runs around in a circle jerk as if they matter when they are nothing more nor less than the vestiges of what gave birth to the Age of Enlightenment (which they have turned their backs on), the Industrial Revolution (which they have turned their backs on), and more than 2,500 years of critical thought that has brought humans the ability to actually live as free men and women (which, again, they have turned their backs on.) From the outside looking in, I cannot for the life of me understand what it is that the average European Union citizen wants. I suspect it is their version of beer, cable TV, and Nascar for the average American…only they put on airs of being proper and much more civilized about it all, don’t you know.

Europe doesn’t care much I suspect about what Russia does with regards to its former Soviet Bloc prison nations as long as the natural gas and oil keeps flowing so they can keep on providing state benefits to all the Islamic immigrants who sit around in their basements building bombs to kill the people who go to work to pay the taxes for their respective governments to collect in order to hand out to those same murdering immigrants which justifies the government cracking down on the civil rights of the taxpayers in order to protect them from the killers but not crack down on the killers because it is a violation of their civil rights and racist and so screw it, it is Friday and the SciFi channel might…possibly…have something to watch that is just a little more bizarre than real life these days.

To the Georgians, I hope you make out in your troubles. I am sorry you trusted us to be there for you, but I will ask the following questions:

Did you not learn from our abandonment of Chiang Kai-Shek to that murderous bastard Mao Zedong? We made money off that! Rockefeller in the New York times called his ordering of Chinese society one of the great triumphs of mankind!

Did you not learn from our abandonment of the Czechs after WWII? Do you not remember the radio broadcasts from Czech forces? Begging America to not abandon them?

Did you not learn from our abandonment of freeing North Korea?

Did you not learn from our abandment of the South Vietnamese?

Did you not learn from our abandonment of the Sudan to the warlords who are committing present day atrocities only a Pol Pot, Hitler or Angolan dictator could applaud or come up with?

Did you not learn from our President Clinton running out the mercenaries who were fighting for a land where they thought they could build a life by making life better for everyone by killing the murdering bastards in their jungle hidey-holes? He replaced the 1500 mercenaries with about 30,000 UN peacekeepers. Guess what? The Peacekeepers stay holed up in a fenced in compound while the bastards the mercenaries had on the run now have control of the country. Good job, Mr. President. I guess your getting a blowjob at the time clouded your judgement?

Honestly, I do not know what it will take to create a good and fair government that does not use the people as property or in the current vernacular, ‘Units of Productivity,’ sell our rights to corporations for a market edge, or hell even just an envelope full of cash or a spectular hooker.

I hope our movements in Poland have the effect both the Poles and the Georgians want. Don’t be surprised, though, if the other side of this event looks nothing like what you thought. Trying to see past the current public actions of all sides to what is really happening is like trying to see through smoke because for every politician you see on the TV, you have some banker somewhere dicking around trying to see how best to make a profit off the problem.

Have a good weekend, everyone. I will just continue to watch and comment as Rome falls. Again.

As for the American citizens themselves, well, I am never more proud than I am now. Simply because we have an all volunteer army. Americans will go to war for others and they do it voluntarily, willing to die for the Sudanese, the Iraqi, the Southeast Asian, and the Armenian with equal ferocity. You could say we are equal opportunity martyrs in the cause of freedom. Our enemies might want to remember that. Yes, we are slow to anger. Much slower than I would like actually because perhaps if we were more quick to pull the trigger then others would be more hesitant to pull their own. I am proud of the people I share this continent with, from the Rio Grande to Niagara Falls. I am not so proud of our government and financial institutions who have clearly forgotten that their wealth and power is only present because of OUR willingness to work hard in the spheres of life to which WE were born. They actually think they are wealthy simply because they are deserving. Astounding.

These are the kinds of things that occupy our pinheaded Western media moguls and supposed news reporters. Lin Miaoke, a beautiful little 9 year old Chinese girl was chosen to be the face for the opening ceremony while another child, of a different kind of beauty and not so straight teeth, did the actual singing. The girls are both fine with all things in this situation, not yet having grown into the stupidities that we in the West spend all our time and energy consumed with: A perfection of features that no one can stand to who has not had surgery.

Now, when I first read the story, I was somewhat concerned for the kids, mainly the kid with the voice. My fear is that she might decide she is not pretty enough to have her face on the TV. Well, have you see the pics of Yang Peiyi? She is a perfectly lovely child. It saddens me that China was so worried about international perceptions that she was not allowed to be the face, as well as the voice, of the opening song. It only occurred to me later that Lin might be just as affected by her face, but not her voice, being used which sadly reveals the extent of modern Western mores poison in my own system.

To China: I understand why you did this, but it is silliness. Stop. There is no honor in allowing worldwide shallow concepts of beauty color your actions. It would be almost as stupid as telling your citizens to stop saving money and start borrowing more in order to modernize their economy. Personally, I admire that you have the good sense to crack down on pornography on the Internet.

To America: Christ on a crutch! You have a 9.6 trillion dollar debt that you cannot pay, mortgages that you cannot pay, banks that are increasingly insolvent, a war on two fronts, a crisis in morals in the kids and morals and ethics in our government, a 33% out of wedlock birthrate, a military that is increasingly composed of foreign nationals, your sovereignty is being sold at auction everyday by our Congress, our judges in this nation are increasingly of suspect loyalties when viewed through their judicial rulings, and we are being strangled by a Congress determined to remain addicted to foreign oil and THIS is what you focus on? With all our knowledge and benefits in the world, why do we insist on being the most ignorant nation on the planet? Hellfire, you even defend pornography as free speech yet you choke at this? Talk about swallowing camels and straining at gnats!

As for the issue of who did what and the dubbing, it is nothing more than a convenient lens through which to look to view the current state of the Western mind. I would like to say we cannot get any more silly as a people than we are now, but it would be about the 20th time I have been proven wrong because we keep doing our dead level best to win the gold for silliness and stupidness.

The flip side is that China cares what we think. I do not know why it would even go to the point of this substitution…I really don’t care because it appears that both girls are suitably honored to have been chosen to participate…but why bother? Why not just let Yang Peiyi sing? It is clear from this that China as a nation still has serious feelings of inferiority and feelings of inferiority are a dangerous thing if they go on too long. Sooner or later someone gets angry enough to step up and prove they are equal.

If I thought the Olympics were significant, I would care more I suppose. As it is, instead of dealing with real problems, we are seeing a sideshow about two children singing to open an event that will solve no problems. It is only significant in that it is an indicator of how badly the Chinese are looking for respect. When you have a 500 million strong standing army, one of the world’s third largest nuclear arsenals, and a war chest of more than 1 trillion USD tied with an inferiority chip on your shoulder, it just looks like bad weather to me.

Bernie Mac needs no introduction. He was one of the great comedians of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He died from complications of pneumonia is what I have been reading. It is a loss to all.

Bernie Mac was one of those fellows who seemed to tell the truth even when you did not like the way he saw things. That was okay because even when he was telling you how sorry a human being you were he was making you laugh fit to split when doing it. He seemed to be able to understand others opinions and backgrounds and be able to accept others even though they were from very, very different backgrounds. As in the case of Will Smith, when I thought of Bernie Mac I thought of a man who was funny as hell who just happened to be black. I did not think of him as a funny black man. I hope you understand the difference.

He will be missed.

“The Millennium Problems” by Keith Devlin is not a book for everyone. I have a bent for mathematics and related books because the issue fascinates me. I solved an unsolved geometry problem proving that for any two circles A and B, all circles drawn in any tangential relationship to A and C lay on a conic section as a sophomore in 1980. One category had been demonstrated, but the others had not. I proved it for the parabolic, hyperbolic, and for all the degenerate cases as well. I also did some work on extrapolating the issue into spheres and higher dimension spheres, though I admit I am not as confident of that work because I was having to invent things on the fly. As a high school student I had not been exposed to many of higher mathematics tools. Sadly, due to bad choices in life, I am still not in possession of those tools. It makes a great way to while away the wee hours of the night when I am insomniac, though.

Anyways, in “The Millennium Problems” there is the case of P versus NP, a case that the author believes can be solved by a layman. P versus NP stands for polynomial versus non-deterministic polynomial time as it relates to the likelihood of complex problems being able to be solved for the most correct solution, as in if a traveling salesman has three cities to visit, he has a number of possible choices. How do you solve for the best choice and can the best choice be calculated? Applications in manufacturing are clear in that if you can prove that complex systems have a best solution then you can save billions by making processes more efficient.

Reading this book, along with Games Theory and Economic Behavior, makes me look at books like “The True Story of The Bilderberg Group” and wonder if someone has perhaps solved the problem of N versus NP.

Yeah, I know. Crap like this is probably why I am not married again, LOL.

The five books I have read in the past four weeks or so, to summarize, are “I am Legend,” “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group,” “Becoming a Millionaire God’s Way,” “The Millenium Problems,” and “Games Theory and Economic Behavior.” The last book is a hardcore math read, by the way. I am having to read other books in order to read the notation in it, so I am not going to worry too much about linking to it.

This book was a gift to me from my good friend and brother in Christ, Keith Boyd. He is particularly well read on the issues of conspiracies and the new world order that many believe is coming.

Is there a conspiracy? Isn’t there always? Is change coming? Isn’t it always? What, oh what do we do?

Well, if you ain’t able to pay your power bill or feed your kids I think it is a moot point, is it not? As for why people shake their heads and call you crazy for believing that the super rich oligarchs who control the banking systems and the relative value of currencies would try to consolidate ever more power in their hands, I have no good answer. If you see my short side rant when writing about the work of fiction “I Am Legend” you will see that I no longer care.

Besides, I am no longer certain that either of us can get out of the way of this thing anyway. The American middle class has become a herd of stone stupid cattle being run towards the cliff because they have served their purpose. It is now time to cull the herd and collect what wealth the middle class has built. Why do you think the banks as a whole decided to not remain true to the frugal ad prudent underwriting standards of the past? Think about it. Mortgages and student loans. First they made it impossible to bankrupt against student loans even when most people do not use their degrees and then they changed the bankruptcy laws further to prevent you from exercising your right to depend on the banking industry to do their due diligence in underwriting. Yes, yes, I agree that YOU should have known better, too, but the bankers get paid the big bucks to look out for the shareholders’ interest.

The one battle I CAN win is one child at a time through organizations like Children’s International.  We knew these things  and times were coming 2,000 years ago. We need to stick to our knitting and attend to our own houses, in my opinion. This means being as productive as possible in our own businesses and as frugal as possible in our own expenditures. As swiftly as possible relieve your home of all debts to others, make sure your taxes are in order, learn to do on less and to build capital in your own home so that others do not have a hold on you. Be the BEST employee your boss has so that he or she sees you as indespensible. Helping your employer’s business helps them be able to help you. No, I am not completely certain of all that needs to be done to achieve this, but I do know that credit is why our economy is in a ruin and families are breaking due to the stress of credit driven enslavement.

“The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” is written as the story of a man who has followed the Bilderbergers from their inception. He narrates facts, research, and conversations with people inside and outside of the group. Apparently there are those inside who do not completely condone the ultimate aims of the group.

It is a story worth reading.

Well, the author’s intentions were good, I think. Sadly, there was nothing here that was too terribly inspiring for me. The only reason I bought the book was Robert Kiyosaki’s willingness to do a foreword.

The author speaks in the very generalities that Kiyosaki rails against in his books, so I can only guess that he wrote a foreword on a fee schedule. It is okay, I ain’t mad at him. It is what authors do; they write.

As I say, I think the author’s intentions were totally jake and above board. I do not think it was a particularly inspiring book. In my opinion, you would do better going to the bible in your own home and reading the entire book of Proverbs and analyzing what Solomon has to say on the subject. If you do not have a Bible in you home, you can find Proverbs on line here.  Also, if you prefer, it is also available in audio for download. (Both Old and New Testaments in their entirety online and in audio format, King James versions are here, along with the rest of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints scriptures and references such as the Book of Mormon.

If you want a free Bible, email me, post here, or call my toll free number and I will see if I can get one to you. My Church used to have a program where you could order a free Bible and I believe they still have the program running.

If you still want to get others’ opinions, you can read them here. Perhaps it will inspire you.
