Obama the arrogant and his cult like supporters

I want to point to the blog  Harry Place as an example of Obamunist subversion. Harry's Place is a UK blog that was created to discuss the war on terror, bigotry from across the spectrum but with a focus on antisemitism, anticommunism and current affairs. An Obama Cult Member ( Obamunist) has decided the sum  of the US coverage shall be "nauseating Obama puff pieces", stupid GOP, endless rants about the TEA party
and brain impaired rants about talk radio. In response to the plethora of Obama scandals the Obama Cult Member has imposed a news blackout on all Obama malfeasance.

In a major example of arrogance Obama has been lecturing the UK government about leaving the EU. The US government has no business lecturing elected foreign governments about their internal affairs. If the voters of the UK or any other nation wish to leave or join the EU it is their business. Who decided that Obama's opinion trumps that of the people who reside in the country.

This would appear to be a major story that should be discussed at a UK blog. However, as usual the imperial Gene in the role as the high priest of the Obama Cult has snuffed any discussion of any item that might make Obama look bad. His nauseating Obamunist worship is approaching levels associated with Hugo Chavez or Leon Trotsky.

Gene follows the Obama line as delivered by the folks in Huffington. An American ambassador is killed in a
terror attack that is misreported as a spontaneous demonstration against a video nobody hear of. He rushes to post an anti terror protest in Libya by three dwarves and a kid named Leslie. A gratuitous post on Memorial Day showing three graves in Arlington a Jew next to a Christian and Muslim. Has anyone made the bizarre claim that Muslims don't serve with honor in the military.

The workings at Harry's Place shows Obamunism is very similar to Communism. Harry;s Place was not created to serve a particular figure. Much like Communists subversion of Unions HP has become the Obama
equivalent of a Communist front group. Of course Gene could simply create a new blog for the purposes of
promoting Obama but has decided to subvert an existing one with a different focus.

Obamunists also have rank and file demented followers who misbehave in various ways. Gene like Obama feigns he is above the fray while consenting to his minions disgusting behavior. There is an odd San Francisco
loon who repairs appliances claiming that all opposition to Obama is racism. He also has commented about
my privates without criticism. There is a senile Canadian who trolls around adding nothing but low brow abuse. There is a nut called Violet who like Obama lectures people in the UK about their politics from the Obamunist perspective.

The odd part is these Obamunists are so far off the map they have no clue who or what is Conservative. Pretty much if you don't worship Obama you are a talk radio brainwashed racist member of a lynch mob. Sorry but Obama is not the savior and those who criticize him are not part of a lynch mob. Criticism goes with the job of President and using the race card endlessly to deflect criticism trivialized real racism.

On a personal and Professional level I am frequently mistaken for a Progressive for my views on public service and respect for due process. Attorneys with a wide spectrum of clients know and praise my work
and legal restraint. The Obamunists talk about nuance while creating a Black and white world where everything is summed up by fealty to Obama. Sorry, I am an American and this cult of personality garbage belongs in Cuba. There is plenty of blame to go around about the bitter political polarization. However, much
of the blame belongs to the Obamunist cult of personality that is just Unamerican.

We have a President. Presidents get criticized and journalists need to treat him professionally or at least with
the same level of scrutiny afforded Justin Bieber.

Tired of politics

I am exasperated by the age of Obama politics. We have a total incompetent in the white house who ran as a symbol. The media has pretty much neglected to do its job. Our President seems to be more concerned about Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party then Al Queda.

I am sick of excuses about Obama care. The program has cost jobs and sent premiums sky rocketing. The left failed to grasp that employers would shift to part time jobs to avoid Obama Care.

I am sick of I don't know as an answer. The IRS abused its authority and used its power to persecute the TEA Party. Terrorists kill an ambassador and someone blames it on a video, but Obama knows nothing. Now his eminence wants to scale back the war on terror. He certainly did not run on this strategy.

I am cringing thinking about what we will learn about the real Barry O once he leaves office.

That which matters most

Those of us that read this blog know I have survived much adversity. I could hardly imagine what life had in store for me as I survived two attacks at the WTC. I enjoy very much serving the public as an officer. It is the greatest honor to be called officer. Yet above all other things dear to my heart is when my daughter calls me dad.

I think back to my happiest moments and those moments are times I spent with my daughter. Soon, she will be dating in another four years. Beyond that she will have kids of her own, but those moments are so special
to me.

I am a boring guy. Down deep there is nothing I would rather be doing then to enjoy a day with the daughter
and the Maltese. Perhaps when I retire I will go to the North and spend my days in the woods with a canine
companion watching the seasons come and go.

In spite of all the bad times, I have been blessed to share in special moments each and every day. There is no other job quite like this that is a joy and wonder.

A year older a year wiser.

The book is not quite over, but it has been some trip.

An Imaginary Dialogue With Stephen Schwartz

Sometimes, I think the country I live in has gone crazy. Most of us grasp that we need to respect the rights of others. My personal disdain for Dallas Cowboy fans does not allow me to abuse Cowboy fans. The concept
of respecting others is a core value of our country.

There have been foul acts perpetrated by losers in the name of Islam. These people are freaks and bums who can't achieve success. They wrap themselves in a shroud of false piety and commit crimes against our
tolerant society. The crimes bring attention to their failures and ultimately harm the very faith they claim to hold in their hearts.

These words may seem harsh and politically incorrect, but to a certain extent Schwartz and many other patriotic Muslims would agree in part.

If we fail to respect the right of those who wish to worship Islam peacefully we have betrayed our own values. When we gratuitously attack a faith we sink to loser levels ourselves. I won't let loser types who cling
to Beavis and Butthead jihad fantasies reduce my Americanism to Beavis and Butthead  patriotism.

made it

I survived four days in a row of work. This is very hard on officers because I depend on prep time to achieve high quality results. I had more officers I had to teach. I prefer not to do this because as my style is based on intensive prep work one gets the wrong idea. My style is to prepare focus on what I need and move on. I know who is coming in and why and where I am going.

I want to wish all my fellow Guyanese a happy independence day. Part of a running gag is how I became Guyanese. In short I am American and do not like diversity fests. For whatever reason people insist on identifying country of origin and in reality it is just Jewish. For political reasons this answer is frowned upon
and I get assigned Israel. I support Israel and have second cousins there, but I prefer the J word. I usually get assigned Poland, Ukraine, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Russia, Belarus, Turkey or Romania. Rather then
deal with that I just assigned myself into Guyana. I really do have Guyanese family and participate in events like reunion gatherings. The you don't look Guyanese part is worth a laugh.

Approaching day four

I can barely move today should be easier. This is day four and I have minimal prep work the cases are somewhat better. I fail to grasp why anyone in their right minds would prepare their forms without an attorney especially when the case has been previously denied.

Monday, May 20, 2013

Wish me luck

I am up against an impossible schedule today. I tipped the scales by making some of the easier cases into minimal work jobs. I don't know if I can pull this one out my boss seems to think it is possible, but I don't know. The results are achieved by preparation and planning. It looks easy, but it is not.

RIP Ray Manzarek


Thank you for being the true musical genius behind the Doors. Jim Morrison sold the shirts and provided the legend. Thank you for the countless hours of musical greatness.

The Obama Follies

America is slowly learning the truth about the President. He has gotten this far with media connivance and malfeasance. The latest scandals have been met with the usual Obama response to anything ignorance.

Anyone familiar with the government knows the claim of a cabal of low level employees acting in secrecy is not plausible. The excuses need to end and the mother of all spankings will commence in 2014.

Mockery of American Coverage at Harry's Place

The local head of the Cult of Obama has remained silent on the the Obama abuses of power and media connivance. The Obamarhoid MSM repeated a hysterical series of lies about the Tea Party that led to the IRS abuses of power by the Obama Cultists at the IRS. No doubt the Dear Leader is shocked and will toss a few foot soldier cultists under the bus. Already the Obamarhoid MSM is spinning the abuse of power on an overworked staff. This excuse is beyond belief as an overworked staff rubber stamps items to clear the decks.

There are more Obama scandals on the way.

A Lawless administration

On top of boldly lying about Benghazi and using the IRS to target its enemies this administration is now spying on reporters. Amazingly, the administration is not satisfied with the unprecedented levels of slavish media connivance to Obamarhoid malfeasance so it needs to spy on reporters. Never before has the media willingly refused to report the facts on such a scale as this administration. Despite such overwhelmingly favorable media the great pretender still complains about Limbaugh and Fox News.The levels of media connivance are approaching Venezuelan levels.

There are more scandals yet to come.

Rare Post

When one swears an oath of office as a federal officer respect for the law comes first. We use the databases on an as need to know basis and reveal as little as possible in the course of business to respect privacy. Thus
when my boss and I discuss a case typically the legal points are covered more then the person. Most of the time it is along the lines of these are the facts what are we going to do. One time I was uncomfortable with what I saw and asked the top boss for a consultation with our best experts in the area. The boss took one came from that area and dealt with it personally, even though she was very busy. She stated the matter was worse then I thought and took the initiative.

In dealing with security data bases, there is no excuse to ever leak stuff to the media. It is frustrating that things go wrong and politicos stonewall investigations. However, leaking things to the media or the public is not acceptable. Privacy must be respected at all times and even requests from outside law enforcement agencies must go through official channels for even the most mundane requests.

I know that many of us want to understand how the government works on high profile cases. We want government to be on top of potential security concerns. Yet we also must caution that untrained so called experts are frequently wrong.

We have discussed the gaping holes in the student visa program before.

One of my frustration with immigration reform is the rush to do everything at once. The public would be better served by fixing the laws in pieces. Instead of a massive bill nobody fully grasps we could debate section by section and get a better system in time.

Rather be waterboarded

There are things worse then being waterboarded. Listening to incoherent ramblings of Jeff Rense should come with a laugh track. Lets see Obama is the tool of the Rothschild zionist communist cabal. This is the stanard Nazi Jews under every bed paranoia. Some of the material is comedic like Trotsky was a Jew born in Brooklyn.

Now when you take a bit of fact and add paranoia and Nazi nuttiness you get Rense. Listening him mangle words facts and twist logic is a study in incoherence.

I suppose there are things worse then this garbage. Listening to Communists who share about half of this material is likely worse. Watching a Barbara Streisand or Sean Penn film festival would be worse.

Incoherent, dumb and comedic are charitable descriptions of this garbage.

And the Cult of Obama Media Brigade Played On

What we are witnessing is dereliction of duty by the MSM. Story after story has shown the allegedly reliable
MSM to be beholden to the Cult of Barak. A terrorist attack in Libya after the alleged Obama success story was spun into an absurd tale about a riot out of control over a blog.


The MSM ignored multiple stories about the IRS harassment of Tea Party, Conservative and apparently pro Israel charities prior to the election of the Savior. Of course if this were George Bush and the IRS were playing games with Move On the ACLU or investigating Soros or his front groups the media would be screaming. These charges are way more serious then a fringe candidates bone headed views on rape and pregnancy, but the MSM covered them up.

We are learning that those right of center papers may indeed be right again. The Boston bombers are starting
to look linked to a crime in Boston where three Jews had their throats slit. Boston police listed this as a drug killing. Drug killers tend not to kill in a manner that is familiar from the Nick Berg or Daniel Pearl videos. Did we mention the two named persons are Jewish? Our Cult leader did not mention terrorism in an otherwise okay speech.

The media vilified the law abiding Tea Party while ignoring the criminal and frequently terrorist linked OWS. Did we mention our Cult Leader, big labor, members of NPR were all in favor of the frequently antisemitic
OWS.

Have you seen your health care premiums go up? Have you seen jobs changed to part time to avoid Obama Care? Where are the stories about the long term unemployed and those working two jobs so our cult leader can take credit for the greatest man made disaster ever to hit our economy Obamacare.

Those left wing brain impaired Marxists who rail about Fox and talk radio are wrong as usual. Pardon me if
the rants about responsible press scrutiny of Obama come with a laugh track, only the joke is on America.

Obama Cult Madness

I am hardly surprised that the government lied about the IRS targeting the Tea Party or Benghazi. Unfortunately, when dealing with a Cult the Ends justify the means is to be expected.

Most of us knew the government version of events about the attack were false. It was an election year and the Obama narrative was more important then the facts of the case. An absurd story about a mob outraged by an obscure video was used as a cover for a terrorist attack. The MSM did not investigate this story and those who talked about this mess were said to be suffering from Obama derangement syndrome.

Now it has been revealed that the IRS did target Tea Party and Conservative groups. There have been no firings or disciplinary actions and how high the cover up goes is unknown. The government lied about this before and again those who said this were portrayed as nuts.

The media treatment of Obama and his failures are disgusting. The next time lefties talk about talk radio or Fox remind them about Benghazi and the IRS.

Obama Cult Mythology Beck Compared Bloomberg to Hitler

Once again the Obamanoid media created a false story to deflect attention from the failed policies and incompetent leadership of Barak Obama.

A simple view of the clip shows an image of Bloomberg with an outstretched arm in a goofy coat. I looked at
this image and saw Chairman Mao. There are no Nazi emblems in the image.

The talk was about the health fascism of Bloomberg. We have been critical of these initiatives, while supporting the mayor in general. Unlike Obama, Bloomberg doesn't dodge criticism of any policy and is an actual leader. We would not be in the dire economic mess and be the laughing stock of the globe with President Bloomberg. If Biden, Hagel and John Kerry are your best and brightest, then you have raised hackdom to new heights.

The image of Bloomberg as tryant is a leftist staple. Usually anti police leftist societal misfits are the source of these rants. Stop and frisk unlike the Obama gun policies saves lives and reduces crime. Police intelligence efforts have certainly saved lives with OWS . Currently, the Muslim community is upset that NYPD does have some surveillance initiatives.

While we support Mayor Bloomberg and would vote for him in any elected office much of the Beck material
was correct.

Another week of Poultry Madness

The usual suspects are complaining because Israel bombed some military arms shipments headed for Hezbollah and a Chicken coop. The Israelis should bomb any Iranian or Hezbollah forces in Syria. Hezbollah has proven it religious games are little more then empty words by backing Alawites who some don't consider Muslim at all. Pretty much if you weren't convinced by drug dealing, you should be convinced now.

Of course while all this carnage goes on the left is silent. The Syrian regime was a Soviet client and your mentally impaired Jooo hating lefties ignored this thug regime.

The DC chapter of the Cult of Obama Gene of Harry's Place is going bonkers. He suffers from BDS, Bibi derangement syndrome, and wants America involved. In this case training and small arms will suffice. However, Iran and Hezbollah should be told to get out. If they don't airstrikes should commence.

Now from Beakerkin and Beamish Studios

No way

As usual one can count on Barry O to screw up anything he goes near. There is no need for the USA to get involved in Syria other then to help our Kurdish allies. The Kurds should be given weapons and training and the goal should be annexation of the Kurdish area of Syria into Iraq.

Arabs and the left are hypocrites when it comes to Kurds. The Kurds are more deserving then the Palestinians. Turkey and Iran whose militant obsessions with Palestine have ethnic enclaves of indigenous Kurds.

Jets are a low life organization

Rex Ryan and the jerk of a GM who refused to give Tim Tebow a chance deserve to get fired. There is something wrong in the NFL where a hard working team player with a proven history is treated like dirt. When the Jets season was in the toilet the Jets could have given Tebow his chance to fail.

Rex Ryan is a low life and Mark Sanchez is a circus clown whimp.

Fire Rex Ryan and cut Sanchez.

The Obama spin machine

The Obama spin machine has avoided any scrutiny of the broken Asylum and Refugee program in the Boston bombing.

1) All asylees who fail to prove their cases need to get a ticket out of the USA and be permanently barred from returning.

2) Family planning and FGM are not what the program was created for.

3) Serious attempts should be made to resettle people locally and not in the USA.

4) People who return to the country where they fled alleged abuse need to have their status revoked and be returned permanently.

The asylum and refugee program has been a joke for too long and Obama needs to stop avoiding the issue. As the laws governing refugees are separate let Obama tackle this part of immigration reform first.

Still around

I watched the remaining shows from season 5 of Kojak. It was an amazing series not nearly appreciated enough. 

The economy still stinks and Obama does bait and switch.

Shame on us.

Doesn't pass the smell test

Most of us in large cities are familiar with the types of killings associated with drug gangs. Three Jews are found in MA with their throats slit does not sound like drugs. This does not infer that it is not drug related, but is sounds odd.

According to the Jewish Daily Forward the older brother did know at least one of the victims.

The investigation is just starting so wild theories and rumors are part of the news cycle.

Why Stephen Schwartz gets it and Ducky doesn't

Stephen Schwartz is a Muslim who cares deeply about his faith and country. He does not mince words about terrorism and grasps the damage  these pointless attacks cause the faith. The attacks in Boston made the faith look bad. It made Muslims look bad and accomplished zero.

There is no excuse for these war crimes. There is no evidence that these Beavis abd Butthead pot smokers
experienced anything more then the fat kid type of abuse in gym class.  These were spoiled upper middle class loser types who were more or less emulating Bill Ayers.

Ducky as a Marxist feels a need to stand up for any enemy of the country including Beavis and Butthead bombers. Sorry, but terrorism is pointless and makes the faith look bad. The damage of Beavis and Butthead bombers in Boston is far worse then Pam Geller.

Damned Rueters

They got me all happy with the headlines George Soros dead. The notorious financial criminal and proponent
of stupid ideas will not be missed.

Soros is a asshole and a jerk.

Rueters ruined my weekend by publishing this prematurely.

Easier Denaturalization

As package  part of the Immigration reform we need to expedite and cut the paperwork with denaturalization and revoking green cards.  Anyone convicted of any acts related to terrorism or felony level crimes can have their citizenship revoked  and the sole recourse would be a single appeal to an Immigration Judge. If the appeal fails they could only seek redress abroad. The goal is to eliminate cases that take decades of endless appeals.


Saturday, April 20, 2013

Amen Stephen Schwartz

The problem is not Islam. The problem is that there aren't enough people listening to Stephen Schwartz and Beavis and Butthead terrorists  making a mockery of the faith.

We were promised by the left that if we elect Obama that the world would magically stop hating us and that terrorism would stop. Obama nor can anyone else stop terror, but we need to speak bluntly and forcefully about terror and the Wahabi criminal cult. You hear rationalization of terrorism from the left and it needs to stop.

Shooting kids in the back at Beslan and smacking planes into office buildings are crimes against humanity. All Muslims are not guilty of these crimes. However, there is no excuse or rationalizations for these crimes. Stephen Schwartz, Tarek Fatah and others are speak loudly and eloquently about the stupid violence making  a mockery of their faith.

Once again the laws of math are proven correct

Unless the bombs are in an abortion clinic you can lay odds you are dealing with a lefty of a jihadist. All the crap about patriots day was bullshit. Actually, I am disappointed the terrorists are not commies or linked to OWS. Contrary to the opinions expressed by poultry I have no problems with Muslims who practice the faith peacefully. One can find decent Muslims with no real effort, but all Marxists are pariahs.

It would be nice if our entire asylum program were reviewed.

Once again media types proven wrong

Despite really dumb comments from the usual suspects math proved correct. The bombing suspects are from the Bill Ayers school of education. No doubt our friend Duncy will swear that the bombers are Limbaugh fans despite the photo of them wearing a Che shirt.

Hopefully, this will place our Universities under scrutiny.

University leftists this seems very familiar. Guess those screaming about mythical right wing plots are off again.

RIP Pat Summeral

The NFL lost a true legendary announcer with the passing of Pat Summeral. Unlike most jocks Summeral did play by play which is unheard of today. His gentle style meshed very well with John Madden. Madden was a star but he was at his best with Summeral in the booth. He really never got enough credit for his own contributions.

Notice after the Bush doctrine nobody is taking credit for the bombing. It may well be a lone wolf but the era of bragging about attacks on the US are over until someone figures out we have Obama.

Stupid Speculation

Once again stupid media types and politicians have speculated the Boston Bomber is someone on the right.
According to the laws of sheer mathematical probability this is very unlikely. Add to the fact that the style of multiple IEDS seems similar to known patterns strongly hint otherwise.

Watching Kojak

Oddly as a youngster I wasn't a fan of the series. As I grew older I enjoyed the local scenery around
the city. I know many of the locations in passing. The guest stars range from Danny Thomas, Eli Wallach, Sylvester Stallone, Tina Louise, James Woods and many more.

Roughly 3/4 is available on Hulu.

There is one episode that probably means more to those that practice law. The episode Mouse sums up the defect of law. An accountant is harassed over a medical debt by a doctor whose malpractice kills his mother. The doctor is inn debt to a bookie who sends over a goon to intimidate the accountant. In a twist of fate the accountant beats up the the goon. The goon doesn't want to admit he was beaten up by an accountant.

I probably would not enjoy the show if there were any other ending. In many respects my work personality is fairly similar to Kojak. However, the only part of me that is Greek is the meals at the dinner.

RIP Jams of the Poor Mouth

I want to say the blogosphere has lost a true gentleman in Jams O'Donnel. No matter how exasperated I got with the political scene I could turn to the story of Jams and his band of cats.

We live in a harsh world especially now for those who find themselves unemployed in their late 40's. Jams was let go in a budget cutting move and though he hid it well suffered from episodes of depression.

We seldom agreed politically. The truth is I am just the last of a dying breed the patriotic liberal who loathes Marx. Jams was to my left but exuded decency and from time to time we both got exasperated
with politics as usual.

If anyone stumbles across this we have a wonderful interview from a point in time when he was at his best.

Wiener for Mayor

The media was relentless in its attacks on Anthony Wiener. Part of the fun was the hysterical headlines
like Obama beats Wiener.

In sum many have done far worse then Wiener and the media feigns ignorance. The Wiener stuff was stupid but far less odious then the antics of Bill Clintoon. The ethically challenged Charlie Rangel never got a fraction of the media attention of Wiener. President Obama's past filled with Chapters out of a Cheech and Chong film, having a Communist mentor, membership in a racist church and hanging out with trustfundista clown Bill Ayers never got this much media scrutiny.

Wiener is preferable to the tired political hacks.

Vote Wiener two twenty ounces in every fridge and a side of competence.

Countdown till Hillary turns on Obama.

The Cult of Obama

All things Obama are looking bleak right now. The economy is sinking and jobs are about as real as bigfoot. The pattern of blaming Bush for gross stupidity and incompetence is wearing thin on the American people.

Obama Cultists are in denial that their savior has failed. They cry racist at the merest suggestion that Barry O is clueless. The Chinese hackers could demonstrate how clueless Obama is by hacking the teleprompter, but apparently they are just too busy laughing at the Obama to be bothered.

As Obama's failures become more obvious the supporters of the cult are denying that they were members. One such person is Gene of Harry's Place who is now swearing he has never been to a cocktail party in his life. Obviously, this is an attempt at subterfuge as it is becoming obvious that despite the medias spin Obama was unqualified for the job and has surrounded himself with the planets largest collection of imbeciles. The valedictorian of this special ed class was Hillary who had the sense to jump ship before it sank.

Rule number One of the Obama Cult

Anyone Standing Next to Joe Biden looks smart.

Rule number Two

Blame all problems on Bush and the MSM will give you a pass

Rule number Three

When your failures become obvious hurl racism at your critics

Rule number Four

If you want to look competent stand next to John Kerry.

Rule number Five

If Rule Four Fails

Stand next to Chuck Hagel.

Rule number Six

Blame Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for your failures

In our continuing series on the Obama Cult we will provide information of how to remain under cover
if you should find yourself surrounded by Cult of Obama Zombies.

The UCU and the Old South

I am a member of a union and took part in a recent election to highlight the issues of work place bullying and age discrimination in our local. While running for office, I did notice how through manipulation of rules all of the candidates in a preapproved clique won. Now all of the people I voted for except one won. The point is not to highlight injustice, but describe how small bands of local activists manipulate the rules and use resources to its advantage.

A small band of Marxist thugs have been abusing an institution created to collectively bargain and protect workers rights. They are not content with abusing their positions to promote these extreme political agendas, they need to subvert the union as well as the classroom.

The union picks a Kangaroo court tribunal to hear complaints. By now we should be familiar with the workings of these Communist committees handling of rape complaints. In a similar shocking development  that reeks of jury nullification in the old South the Marxists hacks whitewash complaints about antisemitism and complain the complainant is a "political activist".

The Marxist Clown Academics are not just content to do the jobs they were hired to do. They bring their political rants into the classroom in subjects where they don't belong. They hold scores of little Stalinite type of show trial rants, under the false guise of academic freedom, and need to subvert an organization that was created to protect workers rights into a tool for Marxist political hacks.

The answer to this is fairly simple. Shift gears and drain the swamp start public campaigns to cut the budget in higher ed to the bone. If political activists want to voice their opinions let them do so on their dime not in Unions or in the classroom.

The hiring practices that permit a exponentially disproportionate number of Marxists, Anarchists must also be scrutinized. If Marxists insist that numerical absence is evidence of discrimination in racial cases, then the exponential over representation of Marxists in University hires must also be addressed on the same grounds.

Lets also not pretend that the research outside of the hard sciences adds anything. Elimination of the research excuse for 90% of the humanities and increasing classroom time is in order. Any University that accepts taxpayer money should be forced to open its syllabus and course outlines to the public.

Anyone familiar with Communist show trials could have predicted this finding. It is similar to the findings of imaginary conspiracies in the Stalin era or jury nullification in the old South. Members of the
union should be greeted with a Nazi Salute and addressed as Cumwad. You would be shocked at how many academics sing different tunes when they leave their Academic Gulags. Suddenly they shift tunes
and feign outrage.

The days of wine and roses in the gulags of academia are winding down. High salaries for worthless degrees taught by hackivists is going to yield to internet alternatives. The Marxist hack tribunals are akin to the last gathering of lemmings before they run off a cliff.

Obama and Affirmative Action

There are those who continue to believe that Obama is brilliant. We have zero evidence of this brilliance 
as Obama's grades and history as a Professor is kept under greater security then the Secret of Coca Cola. We can't evaluate Obama's peer reviewed articles because he did not write a single one in twelve years but somehow maintained his job.

Obama shows the stupidity of the affirmative action scams. The program was intended to right the historic wrongs created by slavery and discrimination against blacks. Obama's sole tie to slavery in America was his mothers family owned them. Even General Powell whose family was West Indian at least had some family history with relationship to slavery in the Americas. Powell's family lived in Harlem and the South Bronx. At the time Powell's family lived in the South Bronx it was lower middle class. Condi Rice lived in the deep South and experienced actual discrimination although her family moved to Denver when she was a teen. Her family was upper middle class, but racial bigotry was a fact of life in Birmingham Al.

Barak Obama was the son of a flaky hippie chick. There is no evidence that Barak Obama Sr ever married Stanley Dunham. Professional investigators have looked for the marriage certificate, witnesses to the event, photos or even people who knew Barak Obama Sr and Dunham were a couple. There are some that suggest he might not even be the father of Barak Obama. It is abundantly clear from Obama
Sr's A File ( Immigration Record) available on the web that Dunham was claiming to be married to Obama Sr and that the child in question was called Barak Obama II not Jr. ( This is not endorsement of 
birtherism). One would expect Dunham to file a Petition for Alien relative for her husband. However, the government was well aware of Obama Sr's wife in Kenya and would have promptly enforced the laws and tossed him out of the USA. According to Obama mythology Dunham divorced Obama Sr when she found out about the other wife. Actually, it was more likely the entire marriage was a cover for an illegitimate birth and a paint by number divorce ended the union.

Obama was raised by Upper Middle class far left grandparents in Hawaii. He attended more prep schools and smoked more pot then Al Gore. His experiences with real discrimination were likely less then what your average fat kid or zit face endured. He spent his time solving imaginary crimes in the mystery van with the Choom Gang. He goes to one college admittedly did badly and mysteriously gets into more elite Universities. This is explained via a combination of nepotism and affirmative action.

Obama basically parrots the angry Black man mantra. What he is angry about is unknown as unlike Condi Rice or Powell he has not experienced actual bigotry and lived comfortably. However, he merely
acts the part the far left University hacks imagine and is rewarded. He then reinvents himself as a post racial healer and runs for President while attending a racist church. No real examination of his life is ever taken by the media who spread the myth.

The left points to Herman Cain and Clarence Thomas as beneficiaries of Affirmative action. Any look at 
their bios shows that they were precisely the type of people the programs were intended to benefit. They were descended from actual slaves and experienced actual discrimination unlike Obama. Thomas
has pointed to the difficulties he experienced in people assuming his Law School degree and grades were the results of Affirmative Action.

It is time this program ends and if Universities want to give students from poorer families a slight advantage this is acceptable. There is no reason the children of Barak Obama should get an advantage over the children of a resturant worker whose family was in China at the time of slavery. There is also  
zero need for gender norming set asides to be continued. The benefits awarded to veterans are earned and should be extended to first responders. Law schools would greatly benefit from the presence of older students who enforced laws.

Finished All 58 Episodes of Tour of Duty.

The show needs to be viewed in its historical context. At the time when the show was on TV the portrayal of Vietnam Veterans was largely a product of media elites bashing their betters. As a young kid one was familiar with the anti war rhetoric on All in the Family and MASH. 

The show is excellent viewing even 20 years later. Some of the second season story lines were a drag.
Lee Majors does an excellent job as a tired old cynical soldier. Carl Weathers really captivates the audience in the last season.

One thing the series did not do is really discus the disgusting behavior of the self absorbed so called Peace Protesters. If anyone was left useless and caught up in time it was the treasonous, self absorbed hypocritical protesters whose wasted useless lives are summed up with I did a lot of drugs and aided Communist butchers. The truth is the freak protesters are more caught in their time warp of loserdom then the men who served with honor. 

You can find these jerks spinning lies 40 years later at OWS camps and at every Communist front gathering. They spin fiction and pretend they were noble. However, it is quite different for them to spin their tales to people of my generation. Unlike the kids of today my generation was there and we know exactly who the heroes were and it was not the drug abusing protesters.

Immigration and Gays

Right now the immigration reform bills are being bogged down by the least toxic part of it the gay marriage bit. I am not troubled by extending benefits in states that recognize gay marriage to gays. I am more vexed by failure to close many familiar immigration scams. The H2B program where workers take seasonal jobs low paid low skill jobs needs to go. Students who arrive and don't set foot on a campus need to go. Making the schools liable or post a bond would go a long way to eliminating this fraud. Elimination of student visas for language mills and test preparation classes.

The administration also needs to crack down on frivolous filings. People who file without an attorney should be charged extra. People who file second and third applications should also be charged extra.
The fee should be an extra 10% for each additional filing. No fee waivers for citizenship unless the person is in the active duty military.

The government also needs to crack down on unlicensed preparers who frequently charge more money then competent lawyers. Anyone who thinks that these unlicensed preparers are more honest or skilled then attorneys should be certified insane. There are bad attorneys, but the odds you will get ripped off by these agencies who are clueless is far greater.

Immigration and Higher education

The Obama administration has turned a blind eye to higher educations willful disregard and abuse of immigration laws. Students enter the USA on F1 visas and frequently do not attend a single class and then marry a US Citizen.

There has been plenty of discussion about business and illegal aliens. Many of us are outraged at a time of scarce jobs fed by a disastrous Obama Care blunders companies continue to hire illegal workers. The jobs aren't great jobs but in a train wreck economy thanks to his arrogance one needs two bad jobs that don't exist instead of one due to part time employment.

There has been zero discussion on the liability of higher ed for students that do not show up. Joke language mills and test prep courses also are frequent routes of scams. Making these mills and Universities liable for students who skip out would bankrupt shady scam education mills and provide a benefit to the consumer.

Watched Tour of Duty Episode 44.  The show is interesting despite its cliches. It was a show that fed a generation of youths disgusted with the abuse of Vietnam Veterans by the media and leftist vermin classic stereotypes. Yes there were soldiers on drugs. There were plenty of radicals also on drugs and committing crimes that had nothing to do with Vietnam. Oddly we see this in Forrest Gump where a retarded drug abusing leftist abuses his girlfriend and blames Vietnam. Of course the slow Forrest Gump beats up the leftist moron in the highlight of the film. Leave it to the folks at Hollywood to not get the meaning of that gem.

Passover in the Catskills

My parents are off to spend the holiday in the last Catskill Resort Kutshers. Part of me wishes I was there to see old friends and remember the Concord. Kutschers is up the road and the Concord is just a heap of rubble.

I remember how special the dinning room was made up on that day and the Seder. I am only kicking myself because it never occurred to me to take pictures  Maybe its better because I miss those days and years of hope.

I think of the Obama world my daughter will inherit when I am gone. College used to be affordable to almost anyone who had a dream. Now those dreams are gone thanks to a lousy economy and never ending tuition rises. Your fat cat radicals created a future where endless debt for worthless paper is now the norm.

Yet I remember the couple of hundred I made while working those meals meant a down payment on a some of my classes.

I will perform Catskills style humor at work with the good cases. It is my way of remembering those lost days. I was thinking back on my life which is nearing an end in the next twenty or so years. We changed many things but not for the better. The world of my parents was like the last waltz. Couples stayed together and raised kids and remained together no matter what.

In the end my twilight will not include trips to a hotel to spend a moment together. My last moments will be in a foreign jungle raising rubber plants and wandering into the possibilities. For all the talk of feminism it really meant many would marry their careers and work for a retirement of nothing.

The good news for the rest of you is that although we can't ever recreate the Catskills you can recreate
the food. I hate to admit this but for those of you who can't find a Bens Deli if your Costco offers Meal Mart pick it up. The items are really close in substance to the fare at a Catskills resort.

I remember showing my daughter the Majesty of what a hotel dinning room table looked like. I sat the home for Thanksgiving in Hotel style. For her it was like being a little princess and it was pure magic.
For me it was memories of a lost world of which I am likely among the last to recall as guest and worker. Glimpses of that world take place in odd locales like making Cherry Lime Rickeys in a place where children have never seen such silliness. Telling stories of long passed entertainers like asking a strange cook to make my pancakes for a guest and not recognizing it was comedian Dom Deluise who just filled the order.

We can make better technologies and items, but I miss the magic and promise of simpler times.

Not Terrible Invitation to a Gunfighter

Yul Brynner was in many movies. You expect a certain type of performance that is nuanced. In many of the films of the 60's especially the late 60's Vietnam must be seen as a back drop. The movie is well worth watching even with dated cliches about class and race.

Found it

I am guilty of wearing a pair of shoes till the last possible second. Usually my niece will hide the pair or throw them away when I am not looking. The current pair served me for three years. Unfortunately, they developed huge holes so that when it rains the socks get wet. The cushion wore out long ago.

I only wear Rockport or SAS and in an emergency Bostonian. Unfortunately, the place where I bought my shoes went out of business in the Obama economic mess. It is painful when I go to a store and an told my size doesn't exist.

I walked into a shoe store not far from where I work and found an old school shoe man. I saw my old model on the wall I have been wearing for 20 years and was told do you want that in double wide. I was told they stopped making that size. Apparently, the lesser stores lie to customers to make a sale. I was told if they didn't have it they would order it.

A quick trip to the back and there it was my old model that I haven't seen in almost seven years. I have been wearing it as far back as the 1990s. When I can't get it I wear a similar Rockport model. I still have a white Rockport model. However, one of the management nepotistic bozos thinks it looks too much like a sneaker. I wear them only on icy or rainy days. I pointed out that Rockport does not sell sneakers. Those would be sold under the Reebok label. However, as this person is a know it all and is not even my boss she makes a federal case out of everything.

I was trained to wear Rockports as a young student. The podiatrist told me I could have my toes broken so I could wear regular shoes or simply just wear high quality footwear. Rather then endure painful corns on both feet I switched brands and no problems for 20 years. Oddly the same disorders that cause the foot pain actually causes me to be very balanced. If my feet were broken it would entail
month in a cast one at a time and learning to walk again.

My father uses only SAS shoe and my podiatrist informed me that the particular model is as good if not better for the conditions that ail me. I can't always find my model hence the odd Rockport. In fact I usually don't even ask as they are not sold all over the place.

Unfortunate

Its too bad that Sonia didn't stick around for a protracted conversation about film. However, the Duck and I will bandy about the topic of B films. What element of an actors talent allows certain performers to carry a B film? Are we past the age when larger then life actors can do this.

Violence is not the answer

My daughter wanted to know if that was me in the old film The Viking. I explained that I only pick up knives and swords if there is some form of deli meat and mustard are involved. Solving your personal problems with swords or weaponry is not a good idea, unless your name is Mr. Beamish.

 Example I can't find a parking space and drive around for hours. Mr. Beamish takes out a LAW rocket and the nearest SAAB and creates one. Unless you wear a gasmask and define cool solving problems with violence does not work for the rest of us.

Painful Watching Taras Bulba

I often joke about my ethnicity being Guyanese. However, in reality it stems from the Jews living in the Poland Ukrainian frontier. Watching Taras Bulba and the mythical accounts of noble Cossack and criminal Poles and no mention of Jews was absurd.

Poles were quite effective cavalry men with a well established traditions. Polish cavalry would make short work of Cossack in a pitched battle.  Their abuse of Jews should be treated in a manner similar to the KKK. 

The film is an insult to the Poles and Jews of the region. Although Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis make the film watchable it should be treated as a farce. If you are a fan of either it is the only reason to watch this film.

Interesting

One of the oddities of the work I do is meeting people from different countries. Once again an old picture of me was mistaken for Tony Curtis. I find it odd that that image is seen so much in my office but at the time the comparison was usually to Christopher Reeves.

I am amazed at how well Tony Curtis is remembered in Hungary. Normally, Jews from Europe are remembered separately. This was not the case with Curtis who was remembered as a native son. In America we think of him as Bernie from the Bronx who grew up in a broken home and rose to fame and slept with everything.

The resemblance is strong enough my daughter asked if that was me with Fred Flintstone. At least I was not mistaken for Kazoo.

I did hear from older people I have met about the TV series the Persuaders. It is still remembered fondly by many. I took in an episode and Curtis is hysterical and a perfect foil to Moore's more Simon Templarish stoic role.

I will try and locate his books.

Miffed

I am somewhat annoyed at a friend who has fallen down. She went to training to learn a trade and as soon as she graduated ditched her husband. She started with a new boyfriend who promised her the moon.

The jobs promised by the trade school never materialized. Her plans back fired when her husband got tired of the infidelity and tossed her out. She rarely if ever sees her children and is upset about it. Her husband's mother is raising the kids.

She is broken and depressed and has not had a job interview for months. Being a decent guy, I called up an old friend who runs a warehouse about 90 minutes commute by public transportation and arranged a job. At the last minute she backed out and said the travel is too far. I pointed out I left home for three years and went 300 miles to find work.

The truth is some people just don't want to work. There is nothing wrong with working in a factory. I would rather do that then work in a fast food outlet. The only job worse then a bad job is no job.

I also reminded this person not to ask me for help or bend my ear. I understand how hard unemployment is. I would have done almost anything for even a menial job just to get out of the house.
Even a failed job interview would have been welcome just to get out and do something.

In life there simply are stupid losers. Leaving a spouse with no plans is stupid. Sitting on the couch and talking to friends on the cell phone when a job is offered is stupid. Helping people who refuse to help themselves is stupid.

There are limits to my stupidity. No more enabling stupid people for me.

Painfully Blunt Immigration Talk

I seldom write about immigration and lawyers. I hope that somehow this reaches its intended audience.
The intended audience is the American people and those who want to join our family.

Prior to becoming part of the system I had my fair share of stereotypes about lawyers. The standard refrains are all lawyers are crooks in training. Yes, there are bad lawyers, but they are in the minority. There are plenty of bad teachers, policeman, accountants and immigration officers. However, the fact that there potentially bad ones out there should never deter you from getting proper guidance on a life changing event.

Lets also leave out the notion that immigrants are a saintly lot of ignorant people confused by the system. Many of them make stupid choices and knowingly take false paths to get a green card via fake asylum claims, temporary worker scams, fake employment cases, fake marriages, adoption scams and the fiance shortcut. When I get a huge file on my desk most of the time it is because some dimwit took a short cut or decided they don't need expensive lawyers.

A fictional example of a contrived case is person  Z from  the country Uncoutholand. Z entered the USA in 1992 and he found a shady lawyer promising to help him get a green card through a work  related visa as a mule skinner. There may actually be a plant that employs this type of trade, but is Z qualified or intending to do this job. Does the USA posses ample low skilled workers to fill this job.  Z is not specially qualified for the job and knows it. We allow the immigrants to feign ignorance for their
role as unknowing victims but the reality is more complex.

We think of the above as a victimless  crime but it is not. Z has cut the line at the expense of people who have played by the rules. His application is a waste of resources that delay other peoples cases. On top of this many people like Z have the nerve to file mandamus lawsuits and run to a local official. I have ample sympathy for those with ordinary cases who do these things. People whose cases have layers of fraud are the first to complain and complain the loudest.

My experience with democracy

I ran for Union office and lost. Unlike the other candidates I did not campaign actively and chose to speak about age discrimination and workplace bullying at the debates. In fact I stated that my sole purpose was to raise awareness of these issues and challenge the real candidates to address the issue.

Unlike the other candidates I congratulated the winner thanked my voters and told them to support the winner. I would have had headaches had I won.

Hugo

Hugo was a thug criminal who fouled everything he touched. The planet is a better place with his removal.

Stand by Our Allies

If the demented government of Argentina makes any military moves in the Falklands the US needs to stand firmly behind its ally. Any nation that gets involved in this dispute such as the one run by the nearly expired Hugo ,Infidel Castro or Iran should be subject to immediate US reprisals.

The planet will be improved when Hugo is gone.

Very Odd

The local newspapers did not list which group the members of the Chasidic couple who passed away belonged to.Tthis couple tragically died on the way to the hospital for prenatal care. It is a sad tragedy because according to media accounts this was the rare mensch in a community of jerks.

The Satmar Rebbe and his followers remain pariahs for various reasons. Their clown like leaders can go to hell. I am familiar with their tradition of visiting sick people in the hospital. I hope that if I ever end up in the hospital God should call me to the afterlife before one of their flock fouls my day with their presence.

The community has gotten away with too much gross behavior. It is time that the rest of the Jewish community hold the vile cultists accountable for their scandalous behavior. Gov Cuomo needs to send his investigators to Kirias Joel and crack down on welfare fraud and stop property tax scams used by this cult.

Who needs Al Qaeda for this

The latest news story says Al Qaeda magazine offers advice on how to cause traffic accidents. Given the normal bad driving habits of most Americans this is wasted magazine space. This is akin to the folks at Al Qaeda taking credit for traffic jams in places where they are endemic like the LIE.

Perhaps they will take credit for Obama making the State of the Union speech when NCIS was scheduled or for RGIII's injury.

The Sad State of Pro Sports

Long term readers of this blog know that I am a fan of the NFL. The huge numbers NFL rookies make are investments. It is acceptable to do all types of medical and mental health tests. However, it is just wrong to ask if a player is gay. In a league where criminal behavior is not uncommon and having scores of kids out of wedlock are common a gay player is a minor issue at best.

The NFL researches the players and their families. The fact that a player comes from a family where his mother may be a drug addict is a real situation. There are tactful ways to talk about these issues and some of the NFL scouts miss the point.

The NFL is a crazy game and it is sad that your most valuable personnel may be Sid in accounting to manage the salary cap, Lisa in human resources to psychoanalyze which players may be worth the risk
and Victor the team lawyer who helps keep players out of jail.   

This may sound unpopular but given the investments some players should be working with mental health professionals. Perhaps if there had been close supervision and early treatment noted talented failures like Lawrence Phillips and Charles Rodgers might have had better careers.

Obama Fatigue

Note the one item China will never hack is Obama's teleprompter. The Chinese, Iranians and Russians must be laughing at our clueless President slashing defense and wrecking the economy with a health plan that has killed jobs.

I can envision some Chinese Hacker inserting Buy Chinese into the teleprompter or my underwear is three sizes to small and Obama reading it. Obama is akin to electing Ted Baxter President.

Your future

It is always tempting to look abroad to Europe for what lies ahead. In the next ten years as Europe becomes more Islamic polygamy will become legal. Already at the furthest reaches of the left in Sweden this is being discussed.

The USA will not likely get to that stage for another 30 years or so.

On a liberty based standpoint those on the left are a tad odd. It is acceptable to limit the size of a beverage and tax fast food but sexual liberty is a given.

Societies adapt and change but life seems best when households are basic couples that want to stay together long term. Larger groups just seem inherently more unstable but that will be for future generations to decide.

Tour of Duty

I am up to episode 30 out of 58. The second season is interesting but one of the mistakes the show made was by writing out the Baker character for comic relief. Now I do remember watching the entire season in first run . At the time I watched the second season and expected more action from the two part opener. The second season is more about psychology and the episodes are still worth watching but are not as good as the first season. The exception is episode 27 with the deranged sniper Sgt Block, The episodes are good because they are fresh. I never viewed them so they remain interesting.

Thus far the best episodes

1) The episode that tells the tale of the Montangards. Communists feign outrage about the treatment of indigenous people in American history but abuse them in the present.

2) The Season One finale that has the platoon capturing the same hill 3x. The war objector saves his peers and is badly injured. This is the last time we see Horn who was the best scripted part of season one.

3) The USO episode where the singer Long John looked and reminded some of Jim Morrison. In this case an epileptic becomes a rock musician after flunking out basic. He participates in a firefight and thinks he is invincible. He gets a friend killed trying to retrieve a saxophone. He sacrifices his life to save Taylor.

4 Sgt Block. The sniper becomes psychotic and has to be put out of his misery.

5) The episode where the Communist Doctor is ordered to kill Prisoner Taylor. The tunnels are portrayed pretty well.

Spent some time with my daughter

It is just amazing watching her grow and being there. I took her to the Greek place up the block. Being Dad is the best part of life.

I watched the first three episodes of Tour of Duty. Back in the days the guys would get together get a pizza or a couple of Blimpie sandwiches and watch the show. It holds up well over time and I am amazed the show didn't run longer.

A Note To Harry's Place Visitors

This blog is basically a diary. There are sometimes political posts or comments on the times. The topics
are varied and there is everything from book reviews, satire and personal stories.

The intent of the blog was to do comedic comments on the political scene. Amazingly, at the start we were attacked by Gay Palestinian Activists from the UK. The blog grew more political and found a niche.

There are very few rules here and you will notice the blog is in moderation. It was placed in moderation because a criminal leftist spammed this site, violated my privacy and threatened the family members of my friends. You are free to do as you like as long as you respect the privacy of others and refrain from criminal threats. You are free to comment whatever attacks you like so long as they stay within those rules.

Writing the Final Chapter

I am not a Catholic but I applaud the Pope for showing us an example of grace dignity and humanity. All of us deal with aging and the issues that come up as the end of life nears. The Pope is a modest man who chose the needs of his congregants over shallow egotism. He made a personal decision he felt best for his congregants and himself.

Let him enjoy what time he has remaining to pursue whatever he wishes.

All of us should remember this as we write our own final chapters.

I took a ride home on the Ferry. The fog was so bad I could see nothing in the harbor. Normally, I can hear the progress by listening to buoys and terminal signals. Unfortunately some Central American clown went haywire. His panicking got others upset and if it were a real emergency would have caused a stampede.

I am reading Prisoner of Second Avenue

As I get older I want to read the plays of Neil Simon who captured the era of NYC in the late 60's and 70's in his plays. Prisoner of Second Avenue is especially poignant in the Obama train wreck economy where hope of better days is a pipe dream.

I will write my own Beakerkin spoof with the mighty Beakerkin Art players called Prisoner of Union Square. Union Square is gentrifying and techno hipsters are replacing commies and gays. An aging Communist film professor finds himself laid off in the Obama economy. There will be all types of cameos by A listers and perhaps even an appearance of Beakerambo.

Making the NFL Safer

Contrary to popular opinion the risk of concussion is not exactly where people think it is. Defensive players who lead with their heads especially safeties and LB who run up and tackle  people  headfirst bear the brunt of the risk. Changing kickoff rules for players who seldom play is not the answer.

The NFL has to rethink its head gear and type of game. As deep posts and high impact hits are the norm the problem will get worse. Those looking at Earl Campbell should take note. His ailments are not concision related they are orthopedic. Walter Payton died way to young to evaluate his health. It would be interesting to see the impact on Running Backs, WR who tend to fare better then defensive players.

The NFL is a great game but it needs to rethink its equipment.

The Jeep Ad

Isn't great for a vocal Obama supporter to rail about bringing the troops home in a Jeep ad. The left undermined the war effort and cut the armed forces and wraps themselves in the flag.

Welcome home to an America where you have been downsized after your efforts. Welcome home to a nation where jobs are like leprechauns and Obama is looking to legalize millions to compete for those jobs that don't exist.

You could go to college on the GI bill except Obama's University fat cats jacked the price up. When you get there expect verbal abuse from Obama's cronies in higher ed. If by some miracle you find a job
your paycheck will go to Obama care that was supposed to cost less.

America will be back when Obama gets another job.

Arabian decline

Oddly, the Saudis alone appear to have understood about overplaying the oil card. The problem is when a commodity is too highly priced alternatives become reality. Thus when gas was cheap there was no need to develop alternatives.

Arabs used the oil weapon to fund their allies in the left.

Now with the advent of Shale Oil the demands of the Oil exporters are over. The first casualty should be Venezuela when oil revenue dries up Chavezism should go with it.

Just Scary

My niece is doing a paper on conditions in the garment factories. Her focus was the era of my Grandmother in the mid twenties. It was scary that I could fill in many of the blank spaces from my days in the 90's. The faces of the people working in the sweat shops had changed and the locations had changed but I could describe the places. For the most part I worked in the warehouses and visited from time to time. However, I was there enough to understand the conditions. I didn't think much of it then but now these factories are overseas and the conditions are likely worse.

RIP Ed Koch

Ed Koch was the rare Democrat you could respect for their integrity. He started NYC in the direction of recovery but was undermined by the media following the death of Yussuf Hawkins. The media allowed Jesse Jackson and a few other race hustler to inject racial garbage into the mayoral campaign.
The city narrowly elected the dignified but incompetent David Dinkins. He meant well but couldn't run anything. His actions in the Crown Heights riots led to the victory of Rudy.

Koch made an error in endorsing Obama. Obama made some phone calls to get Koch into a hospital and Koch felt a debt of gratitude. Koch looked at the appointments of Obama and stated I expected Obama to betray Israel but not this soon.

RIP Ed Koch who quoted Daniel Pearl on his headstone.

Violence over Soy Sauce and Underwear

There are those who live in fantasy worlds of simplicity. In these fantasy worlds domestic violence is a heterosexual thing. This may appear so because there are more heterosexual couples but domestic violence is a human issue and does happen to gay couples.

Kwame Harris had a reputation for being strange when he played in the NFL. He was from Stanford and very bright. He was drafted high and did not exactly have a great career. Now out off the police blotter is a bizarre fight over underwear and soy sauce that resulted in a hospitalization.

Domestic violence doesn't fit into a neat box. Kwame Harris may indeed be strange, but it likely has nothing to do with his orientation or intelligence. Domestic violence can occur in penhouses, housing projects, religious sects, communist cults, housing projects, agrarian communities or suburbia.

In general we have to grasp that violence on a personal level is just unacceptable. If you are really that upset just walk away and don't return. The only time personal violence is acceptable is to save lives from criminals or in service for your country.

As I age the small stuff like the clown who has been lifting one or two of my Mountain Dew's from the refrigerator go. Life is too short to waste energy on small things.

The next time you get upset walk away. You can buy another bowl of rice or pair of underwear. You can't buy self respect or dignity. It would be great to see one of these out of control  celebrities say I was out of control there was no excuse for my behavior and I am going into therapy without a PR strategist pointing the way.

Note to Dumb Corporate Fools at CNN

You are tired of your bad ratings. Of course you can try changing the faces and you will get more of the same. If you want to get ratings hire conservatives and stop carrying water for Obama. The problem is that CNN is offering the same product as every other news outfit and viewers have no reason to watch.

The problem is when the network is so closely identified with an unpopular President and makes no attempt at balance there is no reason to turn it on.

Welcome to Lefty Animal Farm

There was a time when lefties thought they understood justice. The examples from UC Davis and to a lesser degree Canada show why they don't.

Thuggish leftist clowns occupy a public space and harass Jews. No doubt if this abuse were aimed at Blacks, Gays, Communists or Muslims those on the far left would grasp the concept. A seizure of a public space is not to be confused with Free Speech. While one is in a free space anyone may film and record the activities. The fact that lefties don't want events filmed should cause all of us to ponder what events are taking place.

The students are free to protest, write ill informed and ignorant drivel in the University Paper. However when groups physically remove others from a free space and target Jews they have just violated several rules.

The ringleaders of this occupation should be suspended for one year and any student involved in violence should be expelled.

Now to Canada via Bruce Bawer. The University created a wall where ideas can be posted. A self described gay activist took down the wall because anti gay material might be there. Sorry, but lefties
don't have the right to silence lawful speech. I sympathize with gay rights in general but actions like this make gays look bad. The issue should be argued as personal liberty, human respect and none of your business as opposed to Marxist victimology.

End for Alan Dershowitz

Alan Dershowitz has done some great things. However, looking for a retrial for the predator Weberman  would end his legacy on one sour note.

There are indeed grounds for a retrial. The trial should be moved out of Brooklyn. The Satmar are despised by those familiar with their antics.

While Dershowitz is correct that every person deserves a defense the Satmar community has been a disgrace on many levels. Let someone else deal with this disgraceful predator.

A miracle in NYC

Normally, in NYC we are used to turnstile justice. We have grown accustomed to criminals getting away with crime.

103 years is an amazing verdict considering cop killers typically get 25 years to life in this state. This verdict is a reaction to the disgusting treatment of the victims family by the Satmar community. Calling a rape victim a whore and threatening their families is disgusting behavior that all of us should be outraged by. A community that protects pedophiles and harasses victims of pedophilia is a sick group that should be reviled by all.

If NY had a functioning adult as governor. the Satmar Rebe would have got an earful. Unfortunately, NY has Andrew Cuomo who is more interested in trying to outdo Obama on gun control and get kudos among the elite national press then governing. Sadly, Michael Bloomberg has not been vocal enough on this issue as well.

Kudos to the Jewish Daily Forward for turning up the heat on sexual abuse in the Ultra  Orthodox communities and leading the other media into this story.

Anti Muslim Legos

I read a story about racist legos. Now I know creative people have done all types of crazy things like making lego jails. There was even a Lego concentration camp purchased by an art Museum.

This time according to Drudge the Jaba the Hut play set resembles the most famous Mosque in Turkey
and Jaba smokes a Hookah and practices slavery and terrorism. At first I thought this was some sort of brilliant prank from Rusty Shakleford at My Pet Jawa or someone at the Onion playing another joke on the public.

Beakerkin: Correction was your car.
Ducky: I'll kill you peasant scum for this.
Mr. B: If communists threaten to inflict class genocide on us remember it is better to give then receive
Ducky: You idiot you shot my big toe socialized medicine, gun control........

Tune in next week as Mr. B explains why taxes should only be raised on Marxists.

Obama 24/7 BS

Despite the headlines about assault weapons, Americans are more apt to be run over by unlicensed illegal aliens then be killed by assault weapons. Americans looking for work are unlikely to find jobs due to Obama's arrogant malfeasance then to be killed by an assault weapon. Americans are more apt to be killed by a recidivist criminal freed by Obama's henchmen in the ACLU then to be killed by an assault rifle.

What we are getting is MSN old progressive version of bread and circuses.

Predator Webberman to be sentenced on Tuesday

The Satmar sexual predator will be sentenced on Tuesday. Since then several other victims have approached the media. The community continues to harass the families of the victim. It is time for Gov Cuomo to tell the community stop harassing the victim or face prosecution.

Few Missing Childhood Experiences

I always wanted to see the Harlem Globetrotters with my father. Hopefully, when they come in I will get a few tickets and take him. The Globetrotters are just fun and an enjoyable experience.

RIP Conrad Bain

Thank you for the many hours of entertainment on various TV Shows. Bain was a modest gentleman in the one or two times our paths crossed. Unlike many stars he was gracious with a warm smile and genuine warm personality.

Amazingly the last cast members of Different Strokes are Todd Bridges and Charlotte Rae.

Bloomberg Okays second Spouse

In a novel development Mayor Bloomberg has stated you can have a second spouse as long as they are not over 20 ounces.


Join the Cult of Obama

Communists of the world drop your manifestos and listen to the real savior Barry O. Throw down your tired and dated manifestos written by a racist Jew hating dead white fool who couldn't earn a nickel.
Replace Marx with Dreams of My Father I barely met.

 Demand that all episodes of Scooby Doo be redrawn. The Mystery Van gets redrawn as the Choom Mobile. Barry O replaces Shaggy, Biden replaces Scooby Doo, Emmanuel replaces Fred, Hilary replaces Velma and Susan Rice replaces Daphne. Yes young kids can watch Barry O solve crimes while stoned.

We need to remake the Beverly Hills 90210 with the story of Barry O in a prep school in Hawaii. You can mix in elements of Saved by the Bell with Joe Biden playing Screech with a brain injury.

We need to recast Happy Days with Barry O as Fonzie. We need to redo Mork and Mindy with Barry O as Mork. We need to reshoot Batman with Barry O as Batman and Joe Biden as Robin. Ann Coulter will get to play Catwoman. Chris Cristie plays the Penguin. Rush Limbaugh plays the Joker. Newt Gingrich plays the Riddler.

Why bother venerating dead failures when you can watch Barry O abuse the Constitution with a variety
of executive orders, dismantle our military and blame everyone on the planet for his own failures.

Who needs Marx when you can have Barry O.  Who needs reality logic, economics, the constitution, sound management or leadership when we have Barry O.

Toss down your manifesto and hail the chosen one Barry O today.

My Solution to the SWP Problem

Across the pond there is a severe problem among the ignorant followers of the planets greatest imbecile Lev Bronstein aka Trotsky. The SWP is in open revolt because a politically connected nerd was sexually abusing his lower ranking morons. Rather then report rape to the police like a normal human the reject sends a complaint to a select crew of cronies that rationalize the abuse.

Trotskyite imbeciles of the world reject your allegiance to the catcher of the icepick and join the Cult of Obama, We have a catchy acronym COWARD. Cult of Obama Worshipers And Retarded Dupes.

Why worship a failed communist who accomplished nothing when you can worship the all knowing and omnipotent savior who knows all.

He was born by immaculate conception in Hawaii. Nobody knew his parents were a couple. No marriage certificate has ever been found. No photos or witnesses to the marriage occurred.  Amazingly,  the government was notified of this immaculate union and placed notes in the saviors fathers A File.

He was raised in more prep schools then Al Gore and smoked more weed then Cheech and Chong Combined. He drove around in a van thinking he was Shaggy from Scooby Doo but the only crimes they ever solved were those of fashions and really bad hairstyles.

Obama learned the true religion from many Communists and airheads starting with his mentor Frank Marshall Davis.

Obama performed many miracles in his college days, He did poorly in Occidental but somehow managed to get accepted to Columbia. He then gets accepted into Harvard law. All of the saviors records are sealed as we are not worthy to see his grades. He gets hired into a University and teaches a political course for 12 years without publishing a single peer reviewed article and maintains his job. He sat in a racist anti semitic church for two decades but managed to not hear anything.

Obama has managed to get over 90% of the Black vote while conditions in the Black community are worse then ever. He managed to get elected despite doing everything in his power to keep unemployment high and exacerbate the global recession.

Who needs Trotsky the mendicant when you can worship Obama instead.   

Frum Zombie Retards

Once again the Frummies have invaded and really don't grasp that I hate them. I merely was annoyed at them up until this summer when they invaded and placed me through hell for 16 weeks. Of course none of this happens if asshole relative doesn't procrastinate and cost her kid a summer job. Of course the moron does and her son needs to attend a special yeshiva only found here. The entire family of religious mendicants stays for 16 weeks while I roast in hell.

Did I say I hate these people.

You can't enjoy a normal meal because they bring their religious idiocy with them. Of course the Sabbath ends and they stay until the last possible second and do not leave until 3am on Monday. Their kid is said to suffer from Epstein Barr but I swear it is from messed up religious parents who keep the kid up until all hours of the night.

I have grown so disgusted with these relatives that I purchased a cemetery plot in Guyana to escape these morons.

The subject of religious people showing absolutely no consideration for others never gets discussed. They think they have a divine right to piss people off. Don't they have other relatives to annoy.

just floored

I am  just perplexed how and why groups as varied as the Boy Scouts, Yeshiva University and now the loathsome SWP have failed basics in handling sexual abuse cases. Part of me is just floored at how much abuse is out there and has probably been there for years.

Of course we have the antisemitic Duck with his snide remarks about Hasidic Jews. However, now we have a case of a Communist group messing up almost as badly if not worse then the Satmar. The Satmar do not claim to be revolutionary agents of change and thus their fall from grace is much further. Previously we have had the antisemitic freaks at OWS failing miserably at this.

First Lesson Rape is a criminal matter that should never be investigated internally. Rape investigations should only be handled by trained professionals who understand how to prepare a case for prosecution, question all relevant parties and prepare a case for a judge. The penalty for rape should be jail time not expulsion from some wacky cult of Communist fools. Actually there are some who would pay to be banished as a badge of honor. The SWP could even market certificates of banishment if they fall short of cash. For $100.00 you can be expelled with a formal decree and for an extra $100.00 we will throw in an expelled mug and T-shirt.

Second Lesson: Investigation into abuse needs to be conducted externally by trained professionals working with law enforcement most of the time. Reading the Dimwitted SWP star chamber admission that all of us knew the accused and describing the complainant as that woman are naked admissions of bias.

Twice in my lifetime I have run across people who later turned out to be child molesters. I remember feeling sick to my stomach that people I knew could do this. The warning signs were there but I missed them. If a person makes multiple jokes about under aged girls stay alert. In the second case the person was a sexual animal that appeared to sleep with everything, but his wife. Even the other day when I discussed this with coworkers they were shocked. Real monsters don't have signs on their heads that they are sex fiends. One loses perspective by working closely with someone and you delude yourself that someone you knew couldn't possibly do this.

Third Lesson: In sexual harassment cases the proceedings must be transparent. The whole matter is best investigated promptly. While there are some people who make up fake charges these cases are minor. If multiple charges against the same applicant are made then chances are overwhelming that this person is a problem.

Well this bites

I don't know what messed up programs the phones used but the facial recognition technology matched my facial features to Grace Kelly and the Cary Grant. I think the app is measuring symmetry and where
the features are other them mass.

Not on this crash

I have spent time with folks I haven't seen in 25 years. The family next door moved in on the very same day. It was tough to see a person I have known all my life pass away. I grew up with her children.

I was amazed to see a peer from next door. I am almost mortified by my hairdo at 13. I must be unusual in that I think very little about my childhood. I am not the type to reach out on Facebook and reconnect  My friend had a visitor who was in the kindergarten class with us. I was there but do not remember many of my classmates. I do remember my sweetheart from that class and she lives up the road.

I am amazed how when I look back my thoughts are more or less directed at the Hotel that is long gone or days in the Catskills.

Time is funny because although I have lost some hair and added a few pounds the there is next to no gray. My great grandfather died at 90 with almost no gray hairs and my grandmother dies at a similar age with none..

Maybe I am unusual in that I don't really think of the past. There are times folks track me down and I am mostly embarrassed at the lack of thought. Perhaps other then my time as a fashion executive I spent my days like Ringo Star surrounded by more interesting people

I was not on the Ferry that crashed. I got calls from Guyana and many other places.

The folks that are next door and are aware of my family history had a few laughs at my expense. Apparently, they are perplexed at how I became Guyanese. Usually when I describe the family overseas I describe the family in Guyana. Folks at work have laughs about that one. Unfortunately, when we have diversity fests I get listed as Belorussian, Ukrainian, Polish, Austrian, Hungarian, Turkish, Israeli, Russian but I state Guyanese. I apparently do not look Guyanese, but these people have never met a Guyanese person. Actually, when I was in country and someone asked, I joked that I got one head two arms two legs and pointed towards a man with one arm. Obviously he is not Guyanese.

Walmart unusually stupid

We usually have the highest respect for Walmart and I do own stock in the company. I was quite surprised to find a costume for Grand Rabbi being sold on its site. This is stupid and offensive and above all else a valuable waste of space that could be used to sell products that kids want.

Last I checked Walmart doesn't sell creepy Communist outfits. It would be great to dress kids up as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Fidel or Che and entirely appropriate for Halloween.

Walmart could have made even more money by selling a Michael Moore larda$$ suit to the kiddies. Zombies are currently in and a Bill Ayers and Dorn set of costumes would be great sellers. Ayers swears he has never been a zombie but John McCain described him as a "washed up terrorist".

The Final Chapter

A woman who has resided next door has passed away. It is tough to say goodbye to a person you have known your entire life. She kept her illness quiet but it was known in the area. Why she worked almost until the end is unknown.

Then again how we write that last chapter is up to us.

For the second time Rav Roov will have to deliver a eulogy for someone he has known for decades. Most think it is best to have a clergyman who knew the deceased perform this function. The sermon is more personal and moving. In those cases it was the request of the deceased themselves who knew the final chapter was near.

Quit Bashing RG3

RG3 tried and posses a giant heart. He wanted to win and give his all when his body could not. If he didn't posses the spirit or drive to overcome he would be a lesser person.

RG3  and America are lucky the injuries were not worse. He does posses the requisite skill to make it as a pocket passer. Lets hope that we see that down the road and continue to enjoy the charming athlete with the heart of a champion.

Never fault a man for trying his best.

Wagon Train

I was watching Wagon Train on You Tube. Fans of John Wayne movies will recognize Ward Bond. I watched a hysterical episode where Wally Cox turns everything upside down. Indians hold children and Wally Cox wants to solve things peaceably. He does in a hysterical bit of comedy using science and music.

Wagon Train also has what is likely the last appearance of beloved comedian Lou Costello in an nontraditional role. Here he plays the charming drunken father figure to a runaway girl. You also see clearly that if cast in the right role he could act.

The Rape of the American Taxpayer

The greatest failure of Romney was his inability to explain that those of us who remain employed are going to be burdened with higher taxes for his idiocy. Obamacare has helped perpetuate unemployment and has exacerbated the rise of part time workers.

Obama continues to do nothing about the costs of higher ed and even go near featherbedding. The latest batch of students may not see work in their majors but have mountains of debt. Of course it is easier to blame the banker then to blame over paid lazy faculty like our own Ducky.

The jobs won't be there. There will be more people legalized to apply for the few jobs that remain and wages will be in the toilet.

A story about love and acceptance and a special girl

There are some imbeciles who portray Judaism as a racial supremacy type of religion. My mother and father are traditional liberals who supported Civil Rights, but were anti communist.

My daughter is different from us in many ways. She is much darker then even my brother who is much darker then myself. She is sweet in nature and more into crafts then books. My brother and I would read books that way ahead of schedule. We come from a very proud tradition of intellectual debate and love of arts and letters. My daughter does not come from those traditions but has learned to appreciate a classic musical and is perplexed by my loathing of Streisand.

As my parents age and they work less the phone calls and visits from my daughter mean very much to them. My mother seldom gets angry at me and she let me have it when I told my daughter not to bother her with crafts. My mother was going in for a serious procedure and at such a time making Jello with a sincere nine year old seemed silly. My mother saw her right away and spent time in the Kitchen making Jello before a major medical procedure.

When my daughter encounters people from the community they are very loving towards a sweet kid who is different. Maybe, she lacks the reading ability of members of my family and she also lacks my mischievous
sense of humor, but she is good natured. If anything members of the community have reminded me about patience and that the abilities displayed by members of my family are exceptional and not the rule.

My daughter may not be book smart but she has learned to observe things in an almost officer like way. At a
community event she noticed that members of the local community are very respectful. I might be in the Kitchen creating some monstrosity, but I take the time to listen to a neighbor confused about law. I sometimes even let them share the meal and am modest about it. My poor kid can even repeat the part where I explain about law being a confusing process and its no trouble. She does prefer to let me talk in businesses but is not shy among my friends and family.

One of my first bosses lives by Coney Island. He is in his seventies and has no family. My daughter was like a ray of sunshine to this friend. It seems absurd but he enjoyed playing Ski ball with two grouchy old timers and she made a sand castle or two to the amazement of this friend. It meant very much to him and my daughter got to hear stories of long forgotten entertainers and how physically strong I was. He is like an extra grandparent.

It comes as a great shock that some people are making odd claims about being pressured to marry Jewish due to the Holocaust.  Even the family of Rav Roov is very respectful of my daughter. I avoid contact with them because at times they appear socially backwards. I am pained often being frum translates into selfishness, cluelessness, cultural ineptitude and lack of graces.

The moral of the story is that members of my family and community accept and welcome my daughter despite her differences in appearance and abilities. We accept and love her as a sweet kid. Maybe the only thing she ever learned from me was be yourself and don't apologize for it. It also helps if you are naturally good natured.

I remember a previous relationship where my lack of religious conviction was twisted into my being amoral
and unfit to be around kids. The criticism hurt at the time and I took it to  heart. I remember AOW saying the
whole thing was silly. Yes, I do spend time with the daughter and am very loved by the step grandkids even if they raid my stash of food. I remember a rant about NY Deli pickles and letting one of them steal a few packs of Sweedish fish. How the kid even figured out what was in the wrapper was priceless. She pronounces fishes almost like the word feces.

The kids listen as I tell them stories about the strange people that live in the land of snow and beer.It is an amazing place where neighbors help each other and the very poor live off the land. I remember joking about female neighbors skill with chainsaws and firearms during Sandy. That being said I never saw a pink chainsaw but I saw all types of women from smoking hot babes to ordinary grannies use them.

I talk very much about being an officer that sometimes reading this blog I am also a family man. I remember the top boss being very charming and patient with my daughter at an event. Officer Beakerkin, I didn't know you had such a wonderful daughter who loves you very much. I guess those that see me slaying dragons and serving the public imagine me differently. While being an officer is part of my existence being a father and grandfather is even more important.

Maybe you know you are old and certified when your dreams go from sexual conquests to reliving a day at the amusement park with the kids. Maybe you are old when your most cherished possession is a hand made fathers day card instead of a stock certificate.

Never, planned on being a father or thought I would embrace the role. I remember my parents, AOW and close family friends telling me you will do fine just be yourself. Just being yourself is how I live my life and parenting style. Like any other parent I have my moments like the time my daughter stole a spinach roll from me at Ben's Best Deli on 38th. I remember the waitress cutting me off and saying having a daughter want spinach is a good thing. She also ordered another one on the double. Maybe someday I will take some of the older grandkids to Bens Best.

New photos in the office

I have decided to place a photo of Wally Cox in my office. As a young child watching the Hollywood Squares he was a funny man who sounded like Underdog. Over the years I have grown to appreciate his subtle brand of humor. He was typecast and it is fun watching him turn up in strange places like Lost In Space, Bonanza and Mission Impossible.

I found two episodes of Hiram Holliday on the Web. Unfortunately, they only made 23 episodes of that show. Maybe someone will get all of his work together in a DVD collection including Mr. Peepers.

On the town

I have a nasty cold so my trip into my past was short. I visited a place I worked twenty years ago and said hello to old friends. It is odd that I moved on from that world of Fashion into a vastly different field. Having an education prevented me from being typecast.

I went to Ben's best for my New Years Day Lunch. One half a sandwich brisket, matzoh ball soup and farfel
wich is called egg barley. I make a variant of this at home with chicken soup. I prefer Bens Best but my daughter likes Daddy creating a meal.

I went to the comic book store and then to the hardware store. I passed my college and saw the faces looked the same but I am much older.

I took the ferry dismayed at all the stores and places I remember that were a part of my life that are gone.
There were the bookstores, hot dog vendor, barber and many others who just packed it up in Obama's economy.

Another year that I hope will be better, but with Obama running the show not likely.

The Odd Couple A Beakerkin Tribute

The mighty Beakerkin Art Players Present

The Odd Couple   apologies to Neil Simon


Intro: On October 15 Felix Ducky was asked to leave. That request came from his wife. Deep down he knew she was right because everyone hates Commies. But someday he hoped to get back to her. With nowhere else to go he appeared at the home of his childhood friend Oscar Beakerkin.  Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy.

Ducky: Look at this place its post modern landfill.
Beakerkin: See that is your problem always with the big mouth.
Ducky: I love my wife and miss my kids. It was a Zionist Conspiracy that we got divorced.
Beakerkin: You embarrassed the crap out of them by telling their Teacher Exodus is Zionist Propaganda.
Ducky: But Uris is the worst type of propagandist. He created a myth....
Beakerkin: Unfortunately  Comwad they were doing a school play about Moses.
Ducky: That is the biggest Zionist of them all. Separation of Church and state.
Beakerkin: The story that appealed to men in bondage everywhere. When your friend Paul Robeson the Fink was singing Let My People Go what was he singing about.
Ducky: So you are going to take the word of a Stalinist.
Beakerkin: How do you like that Y & R is offering me $50,000 to appear in an ad campaign.
Ducky: That is great and you can tell them that your official photographer is Felix Ducky. I could use the money. The connections to a huge ad agency can do wonders for my business.
Beakerkin: Not so fast comwad. The ad is for Hebrew National Salami
Ducky: Zionist artery clogging sewage....

Part II  to be contined
