THE DIVISION BELL

What we see playing out on the political scene is nothing short of a Greek Tradgity. Berock Obama has disowned his long time pastor of twenty years, Jeremiah Wright. This is the Pastor of whom he had formerly said "I could no more disown my pastor than I could disown my own White grandmother". The way in which Jeremiah Wright has gone public the past few days has been an occasion of offense to Obama. Wright said certain things like the government is responsible tor AIDS and Pastor Luis Faracon is one of the most important people of this age. Well, I'll have you know that the Federation has finally seemed to find its gonada and endorsed the Pastor for his statements about- - for instance- - the CIA bringing crack cocaine into the ghetto. The Federation is not a pro Jewish entity as you may know. What we have a case of here simply is another King Saul case of disqualification to be King for "failure to go the whole nine yards" to put it simply. Obama doesn't want to pay the price to be president. So I say, echoing the words of Ramses II in a famous movie "Judge now where Obama is everything I said he was- - and that it's Hillary who is destined to be the nominee". We've been saying all along that Hillary would beat out Obama for the Party nomination. The only question in my mind is how she would do it. I don't think Hillary paid Pastor Wright to "go public" at this key juncture. I believe it was just karma coming back on Obama, and don't try to blame anyone else for your problem. Obama thought he was "a new kind of Black". Only like Clarence Thomas before him, "The new kind of Black" couldn't exist today were it not for "The old kind of Black", those in Pastor Wright's generation who had to fight for everything they got. This Greek Tradgity is going to play itself out because now I'm going to vote for Mc Cain in the fall. Of the five leading candidates for president on the Democratic side, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Berock Obama, and John Edwards- - four of them are excellent candidates. But no way in Hell was I ever going to vote for Hillary and God Himself knew that. I can only speculate how many millions are like me. You know- - I'll forgive an awful lot in a man if he shows signs of bravery. My two chief complaints against Christianity is that they are cowards and hypocrites. Some have said that Reverand Wright is a "narcicist". To this I say look in the mirror. Christianity was founded by one of the most narcisistic men ever to walk the face of the earth, Jesus Christ. He was practicly the inventor of "Don't do as I do; do as I say". You know- if Mc Cain has "gone conservative" I'll say "Well, he knows which side his bread is buttered on". It's too bad Obama didn't know which side his bread was buttered on. He was happy to hang out with Pastor Wright while he was a nobody. But like Moses and Ramses II - - the time came when Moses said "You know I have all this position and power and military and intellectual training I got from Egypt. But I'm going to chuck all that and just say it's "God" that brought me where I am". If you want another example- - do you think Judas never suspected what Jesus Christ was all about before he followed him. And then there comes a day where Judas is "embarrassed" by a speech Jesus made and he might be an embarrassment in the social circle. Some may say of Pastor Wright "Well there are certain situations where Wright should just take a back seat". Well, don't you suppose there are certain situations where "I'd rather not take Jesus with me?" He's just kind of an- - embarrasment. You know now Obama can write a book called "Why I have now turned against Reverand Wright" and make a lot of money trashing his old church. Isn't that the sort of thing we love here in Hollywood? It's kind of like Tom Keefer alias Fred Mc Murry in "The Cain Mutiny" where he craps out at key moments and gets a massive attack of cowardess. All he is thinking is "this will make a good book someday". I will forgive an awful lot about a person if I think they aren't cowards and aren't hypocrites. Mc Cain may have his faults, but he's proved himself to be an honorable man who loves his country. Of course you know that Hillary going out the gate had a built in 45% of the population who would Never ever vote for her. The democratic party is going to have to live with that reality come November. Of course- I know of no one who would consciously vote for a lying, cunning manipulator of events like Hillary. Say what you want about Mc Cain, he's not basing his whole campaign on The Race Card- - the way Hillary has done. She has pervailed by fighting dirty. For her it's been victor at any cost. And that cost will be John Mc Cain being sworn in as President next January.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Federici This one became a link the minute I moved away from the space. He’s the long time E Street Band keyboardist who died of skin melanoma. This was on April 17^th. 2008. He had the Dylan sound. We often throw out mysteries without answers like we did with the "channeling Hammingway" thing a few posts back. I was thinking of Dylan as the person who might die. But this keyboardist has that Dylan style. I was thinking when I made the Hemmingway allusions "Some of you might be thinking of Bruce Springsteen". In terms of psychic hits this is kind of a tangent near miss.

The Federation does have "dog fights" with ships in space, like Star Wars, and they like Star Wars, prize themselves on their manoverability and deadly accurecy. The key to having a good air force is to do what Israel does. Draft out the best people from other branches of the armed service. Sixty Minutes featured the Israeli Air Force. The way they work it is everybody gets drafted but the best and the brightest then get drafted into the Air Force. But from there only a handful get selected for the really plumb assignments, including occasionally, a woman. These pilots are known for their precision accuracy with minimal collateral damage, but spend their days bombing suspected personal targets trying to “take leaders out” from the other side. They showed cockpit footage from the 1981 raid on Saddam’s nuclear reactor in Iraq. Now people are speculating they’ll do the same thing to Iran. In some ways the Israeli Air Force could be equated to Star Wars fighters fighting and firing with precision accuracy. Of course the “Federation” imagery and “Ziggy’s Air Command” kind of draws on this Star Wars imagery. I’m trying to correct as I go but I’m making a lot of spelling errors today. Of course Jim Cooper is said to have come up with the term Ziggy’s Air Command, even though the “real” Jim, or as Biblotrists might say, the “antitype” did not appear on the scene till late July 1980.

They interviewed Justice Scalia. He was an only child and was spoiled with all the love and attention. As an Italian it’s unusual not even to have any cousins. But he made up for it having nine children and they are all successful today. Whether it’s the “Jesus Gene” or the “Conservative Gene” I don’t know. It’s that Bovian influence where all your children turn out blessed because you love the Lord. Scalie was making sense with his “Originalism” till he began talking about Bush and Gore in Florida. Then he just said “Well Gore is the one who brought it to the Court and we could hardly refuse it”. Is he saying Gore should have let the process play out? Scalie had absolutely no legal reasoning behind his decision; it was apparently strictly political. Also Scalia says that torture is OK because it isn’t officially “punishment” and therefore doesn’t fall within the eighth amendment. This is totally screwy reasoning on his part.
