Should I Still Try to Avoid Direct Mention?

Ok. I will merely us as an example of blind irony.

A certain blogger posts a link to an article where the owner of the business claims that the OWS protests killed his business, after posting an article disclosing (the well known rat fuck trick) the trick of using a false correlation for dishonest proof of causation.

May I say that the point in the trick post was as old news as how to make fire?

Anyway, that business. Now I can't swear the owner if full of shit. Or mostly full of shit. Or only partially full of shit. But I know that part of town fairly well. And when I saw the addy of the biz, 40 Wall, my thought was immediately that the place was South and East of Zucotti Park. And I checked on the map, and it is further East than the NYSE Bldg. So do I think the continued presence of barricades could have impacted his biz? Ya sure. And it has been weeks since I was last working there, downtown. I really don't know how the protest have clogged Wall Street, day after day. That is my admission that I could see that there could actually be a great deal of causation there. But I can't help but think the article about this story does not tell the whole story.

I will leave my speculations there. I can't say more on this to follow, but I would like to hear more details. As well, review the biz's books!

Nobody in Their Right Minds Want's to be That Person . . .

Oh and I going to shock lots of folk with the following statement. I am not in agreement with what the OWS people did yesterday. Setting up an informational picket line is one thing. Blocking people from their ability to make their daily dollar is another thing entirely.

What they did was allow their passion for what they believe in, to "give them permission" to screw with other people's rights. And that is dead wrong.

There is a name for that kind of person. Republican. Or asshhole, if you prefer. Words are interchangable. Point is, don't act that way, damnit.

Been There. Done That. Didn't Get the T-Shirt.

Ok. So I finally made it down to OWS at Zuchotti Park. And I have seen rowdier Nuns! I kid, but if that is what anarchy and revolution looks like (according to the fraidy pants wing nut pundits and politicians) all I can say to that is, shee-it. I've seen more angry energy from senior citizens on line for the bus.

I'll go a tiny bit further here than I did on my FB page. Since I was just working downtown from mid August to mid Sept. I got more than my usual familiar with that tiny park. And I had been thinking that I hope the truck vendors were not getting fucked over this. But I am happy to report I saw the carts and trucks there on Sat., and I speculate that biddness is-a-boomin' for them! Way Kewl!

Saturday Bla Bla Bla.

My song is coming along nicely. I think I need to write one more verse and a variant on the refrain, and I will be all but done. What key? Shit. C Sharp Minor. One of my favs.

Moving on.

I don't want to go deep in politics. So I will just post this brain teaser.

Who's the bigger sociopath? Herb (Herm) Cain or Mrs. Palin? Now that I have been thinking about it on and off over the day, I am saying Herb. After all. Mrs. Palin has enough of a sense of shame to have decided NOT to seek the nomination. But despite the long list of reasons he's not fit for office, Minstrel Man, Law Jockey Cain, is pushing on.

Fuck him.

Only Humans Are People.

That's the title of the song I am working on. Came to me today. Hope I can get it done fast, and further hope I can get that to be taken up as a slogan for the OWS movement. I was inspired by an article on Mediaite showing a clip from CNN where Russell Simmons was talking from Zuccotti Park, and trying to articulate the OWS main demand. In brief he said, get the money out of government, meaning get the corporations out of it. They have been controlling the government not the people. All that good core liberal shit.

So at first I was inspired to compose a first draft of a constitutional amendment to fix that shit. My take was to define the obvious (to those of us who are not wing nut right wing tools) -- that corporations and unincorporated associations are not people. That only humans are people.

So it's easy to see how I got to the slogan, Only Humans Are People. And the song started writing itself.

Way Kewl.

If and when I finish writing the damn thing, and uploading a take to my You Tube account, I guess I can take a trip down there and try it out in front of the peeps. If I have enough nerve.

Anyway, I could rant and rage about a lot of other shit. I will stop short of that, but to say Rick Perry is a piece of shit and unfit for the fucking job he has now, never mind higher office, if he can not bring himself to condemn that bigoted pastor pal of his for that disgusting display of anti Mormon bigotry.

Do you think that fucktard Perry has the depth of understanding that leads to the logical conclusion that if he can not condemn religious bigotry in general or in specific, that folk will at least think he is soft on that shit, if not a little to a lot in favor of it, despite his "personal" refusal to own the specific bigoted sentiment at issue? Or does he get that and just not give a fuck?

Personally, I vote for the latter.

Anyway, that's it . . . . for now.

This is Less of a Prediction, and More Hard, Brutal Analysis re the OWS Movement, and Saving the Nation. Shit.

Ok. I am going to say it out loud. (In text.) As much emotional support I have for the OWS movement, I can not see any major (necessary) changes happening unless we DEAL with GOP congresscritters, and deal with them severely. And I mean at least arresting a third of the GOPers in both chambers of Congress. And we need to do the same at the state level, and likewise at least arrest the GOP Governors. Now am I saying this WILL happen? No I do not expect it. But I am saying that's the minimum necessary to save the nation from the plutocrats and oligarchs. Ya know what they say? Reality Bites!

Now if I were POTUS? That shit might happen. But Obama is POTUS. Do not expect this shit to happen.
