Crossing A Diamond with a Pearl


Even after the birth of the new Royal Prince, they seemed reluctant to let us personally see the newborn, as if it were kind of a state secret or a new I Phone before the official release date.  It seems that “All of the TV stations” had news of the Royal birth on at noon but I missed it because KTLK didn’t breathe word one of this story.  Kate Middleton gave birth to a boy, the third prince in line for the throne of England.  Finally I saw some television coverage at four with the Town Cryer and all that.  It was a baby boy born at 4:24 Grenwich Daylight Time.  That would be after eight here when all we were being told was that Kate had gone into labor and was eight centameters dialated.  The mood was spoiled because David Cruise made a total ass of himself on his show today.  At one point he was going to interview a lady who was to give us details about the birth.  But he’d let her talk for maybe ten or fifteen seconds and talk the whole rest of the hour saying the same thing over and over, how he just doesn’t care.  In case David hasn’t noticed we need a little good news.  Certainly David Cruise reads the gloom and doom headlines.  Doesn't he think the people are entitled to a little hope- - or at least some kind of Escape, if only for a moment?  This prince will be the chief of State for fourteen commonwealth nations and also the titular head of the British armed forces.  If David thinks the birth of a baby is stupid to celebrate, than I assume he has no love of Christmas.  The difference is that this child is real and his whole future lies ahead of him.  It’s funny how come people get the real and the imaginary mixed up. This is after dinner of Monday July 22, 2013 and I guess if you’re a proper GMT zone person you would say that the astrological sign of Leo officially begins at four o clock this afternoon.  I have nine and a half  days to go before I get paid and frankly have no idea how I’m going to do it.  It’s just been a case of “one day at a time” so far - - and I’ve survived on few cigarettes today.  Just before lunch I went into the computer room to wait for the doors to open and Lisha was on computer and once again trying to access her E mail address.  People in this building hold the world’s record for routinely forgetting their E mail address or failure to access.  That Safari is a really mess up program to begin with.  I entered John Boehner and got “No results” and one time I got a picture screen but it had a notice window of “failure to connect with camera” where there was no closing X

I guess if we have to we’ll do all of these downer stories on race.  It would seem that the arrest and charging rate of Black drug offenders is six times the rate as for Whites per capita.  And the incarseration rates for Blacks are ten times as high as for whites.  The United States has the highest per capita incarseration rates in the world by far.  Some 25% of the world’s total prisoners are in the United States.   Sixty percent of these are Blacks.  Blacks get the same sentences for non violent drug offences as Whites get for violent crimes.  One in three Black men will at some time in their life be incarserated.  That woman in Florida may have gotten twenty years for firing a gun into the ceiling.  But there were these BART transit police that arrested eight Blacks on Newyears Eve they thought were roudy- - and one of them didn’t “assume the position” quick enough and was shot dead in the back, and his name is Oscar Grant.  (?)  The cop who killed him got only two years and that sentence almost amounts to time served.  As you can see justice is very different for Whites and Blacks.  Now we have these Black teenagers who were playing their car stereo too loud and this White guy fires eight bullets into the car killing a black named Jordan.  I did not know this incident was also in Florida.  At this point I wouldn’t bet two cents on a just outcome stemming from this case.  Basically the “stand your ground” law amounts to “Kill yourself a Nigger any time you feel like it”.  Because it’s clear that Blacks don’t have the same priveleges under this law.  There was something totally sick about Rush Limbaugh defending the slaughter of the Indians by the United States.  He rationalizes it because “These various tribes made war with each other and engaged in slave trade”.  I think this whole bit about slave trade Rush pulled out of his ass, just like Rev Peacock made up the story about Jewish Priests sacrificing newborn babies to the god Baal, in the time of Christ’s birth.  Rush thinks America is wonderful because “We are the only people to wage a war to end slavery”.  Of course knowing Rush’s contempt for the National government- and upholding of - (wait for it)  State’s Rights- - it’s absurd to think that Rush Limbaugh would have been a supporter of Lincoln.  I can imagine a draftee saying “If I have to fight a war they say is to free the niggers than I guess I have to.  Just dome make me have to fight along side one”.   

This is later and “Jeopardy” is just coming on.  Kate Middleton is one of the few commoners to contribute to the royal blood line.  Dianne set new precedents as far as how her sons were reared exposing them to the unseemly side of life.  Last week the Federation was already referring to the new Prince as “Kid Charlemagne”, after the Steely Dan song, because they claim that Princess Kate had tipped off a reporter months ago that it was going to be a boy.  I wish they had told me.  This is probably the most hyped baby since Zachery, and the Federation was in fact hyping the birth before Mal Evans got there.  And it wasn’t until late summer that Mal Evans was even apprised of the significance of Zachery.  Of course there was thunder & lightning on his first birthday, Sunday September 5th 1976.   Zachery was both conceived and born on a new moon (and a partial eclipse of the sun) as Pink Floyd fans everywhere are well apprised of.  This Prince is born on a full moon.  Of course on a strictly local sphere- - Pete Richards was constantly giving Zachery updates so to speak - or how this pregnency was progressing.  He seemed a whole lot more interested in the pregnency of another woman, than what his own wife was doing, whom he rarely talked about during this period, except she was a grocery cashier at Gemco.  These "updates" came frequently up through April of 1976.  But for some inexplicable reason after I moved in with Jesus People, these little updates were way scaled back.  And after the first weekend of the next July (1977) all contact ended for a period of nearly two years.  I don't know if you knew that, and there is no reason why you would.  There are strange anomalies (kind of like the Samantha Brady officer shooting case) that- - if nobody else cares to investigate, then I guess I don't either.  I just thought I'd reenter edit and add these remarks the next day.

 In other news- - that Six Flags roller coaster in Arlington, Texas had a weight limit of 180 pounds and this fat woman who fell to her death was 250 pounds.  But neither federal nor state authorities will investigate the death but leave it to Six Flags to investigate themselves.  They say that Roller Coasters are very safe and that the odds of being killed on a modern roller coaster are one in 750 million.  I feel safe.  There was some kind of landing mishap at Laguardia Airport and this time it was the front landing wheel that collapsed upon impact.  Some people want national laws on virtually everything including the safety of Roller Coasters.  I don't.  Because the federal system of government we have was never meant to micro-manage every aspect of our lives.  Sometimes people assume risks.  If a 250 pound woman really wants to tempt the odds of being seventy pounds above the safety recomendations, then I hardly see what can be done for her.  Not to put it too coldly but as conservatives sometimes put it, "Actions have consequences".

In the soap opera Samantha was arrested during one of her high moments of glory.  Don’t mess with mama bear.  Adrian wasn’t pleased at either Samantha’s apathy tword her warning nor to Sonny’s overt hostility, and not letting his mother speak for a moment.  Contrary to what he thinks, sometimes if you don’t heed the barking, then dog bites follow, and this is the case with him.  Adrian went to Abe Carrver, and a zealous lady distorict attorney, who wanted to make the arrest right then and brought along another cop friend of the slain officer, just in case Abe proved to be not up to the task.  Christine learned that Brady knew she was telling the truth and offered to start over with Christine.  But this didn’t stop her from turning away and going ahead with her plans, that will only hurt her, much more than any intended target.  I think the moral of the story is that if someone offers you the olive breach- - it’s best to take it because refusal could be hazardous.   In all three cases of Christine, and Samantha and Sonny, it’s a case of naked pride that causes the downfall of these three.  Adrian negotiated immunity for her son from prosecution, but I don’t think the offer was extended to Will.  Chuck Smith says the reason why King Saul was told to commit utter Genocide on the race of the Alamikites killing every man, woman, and child is "because the Amalikite is a type of Sin that we are supposed to utterly eridicate from our lives".  I guess the question then is "Well is Chuck Smith perfect?"  A wise man once said "whatever standard you hold out for others to attain to, you yourself will be judged by it". Here's something funny.  We have never seen Will and Father Eric in the same scene in the soap opera and I don't believe there is one documented word spoken in exchange between these two.  Gee I wonder why.  I guess it's something called plot continuity.  Father Eric is so pure it's incinceivable even to the authors that Father Eric could bless Will and Sonny's "marriage" or whatever they're calling it these days.
