The Speech no politician can say

The economy is in a mess and we are all in this together. For decades the notion of what is a right and the role of government in our lives has been expanded endlessly. A series of special intrests have built up piles of gold on the back of the American people.

It is wrong to divide society amongst classes. A proper functioning society gives a welcoming hand and guidance to those who need it and takes care of those who can't help themselves. A normal society also punishes people for their actions which violate our norms such as criminality. Social services should be a stop gap solution with the goal of getting people off them. We may have to raise the retirement age to 70 for all except police, firefighters and military.

All of us need to re-examine every facet of government and its relationship to the governed. We need to do more with less and set new priorities. We need to encourage growth in the private sector. We need to examine healthcare and educational policies and costs. We need to rethink our immigration laws and we need to rethink our military and foreign policy strategies. We need to forbid and severely punish nepotism
and cronyism in government.

America needs to stop apologizing for its actions and history and move ahead based upon its own best interests. The opinions of the reality impaired political zombie class mostly in Europe and in enclaves of deluded prestige in the USA are not relevant to what is best for the country. Those who wish to be like the EU, live under communism or under a theological totalitarian cannon should be encourage to depart and close the door on their way out.

It is time for a new American vision based upon individual liberies, individual rights, limited efficient government and accountability for all.

Holly Crap Batman Marxist Moron gone Jooonatic

Some people think that I go a tad tough on the Duck. The truth is when we aren't talking about politics the Duck is a decent guy who frequently has interesting things to say. Oddly many of the best posts on this site come when I toss the politics aside and talk about Lit, movies and so forth. In short the Duck is a genuine person who frequently lets his obsessions get the best of him and has dreadful political ideas.

Lance Thruster is a wannabe porn star who is a stark raving mad anti-semite. A Lubavitcher Chasid gets thrown out of the NYPD over bear length and Thruster makes a snide remark about the guy being free to join the IDF. This is on a par with your KKK guy telling a Black citizen to go back to Africa or telling an Indian to head back to Bombay. Unlike Ducky Lanve Thruster aka Butthead has zero redeming qualities and is encouraged to continue fouling USC as the "aethiest chaplain". Thruster usefull as a comedic prop and he should be considered a real Trojan just not the type that plays at USC the type that Dr Koop talks about.

Some TV sucks

I am bored stiff by the reality show nonsense. Perhaps a new TV show where contestnts compette to get one million dollars or give Donald Trump a wedgie is the prize. If they choose to give the Donald a wedgie he keeps the million. He has incentive to irritate the contestants. Cheese burger death match is a show where a cheese burger is tossed between two kids who haven't eaten for 18 hours. Do you think you can fool a critic. Fake critics with hysterical reviews will review various things. The critics will be Borat style boors.

Just wrong on history

I am quite amused that a videogame that has the American Revolution as the back drop will be out in October. The game Assassins Creed 3 will be set in the French and Indian War to Revolutionary war period.

While some of the criticism has been over its rural setting. Boston and NYC were not major citties as we know them today. Most of the familiar landmarks other than Trinity Church and a small area in Boston date back to this era.

The criticism of Europeans using bow and arrows and tomahawks is just wrong. The tomahawk was used as a common weapon by European settlers. In fact if you read about the Indians of Upstate NY many considered the mostly Scott mountain men to be the real savages. We romance the Mountain Man today because of the TV show Grizzly Adams. However, long before American settlement crossed the West there was a rugged man of the woods. He was a tough brutal survivor in a rugged woods. His life was violent and he was a tough opponent. The use of the bow and arrow was much less common but not unheard of.

In the Northern Army Mountain Men and Indians wrecking havoc were facts. In this respect this part of the video game is on target.

As period litterature is abundant I hope someone makes mods from Drums Along the Mohawk, Last of the Mohicans and the Kenneth Roberts novels. It would be nice to meet Cap Huff, Steve Nason, Nattanis and Doc Means . While George Washington and Ben Franklin are confirmed in the game it would be nice to see Benedict Arnold and Daniel Morgan. It seems likely that Rogers Rangers will show up in some capacity.

Tired of the Media Malfeasence on Obama

The media has done a lousy job looking into the past of Obama. The fact that Obama was a stoned out Al Gore style preppie who has used his famililies far left ties and likely affirmative action to get through the system. No candidate has ever gotten this type of free pass from the media.

The media has proclaimed the latest birth certificate authentic. The latest version of the American Thinker
shows the mechanics of doccument authentication. The process is done from originals by comparing it to known exemplars. While typographers and various computer experts can provide some information they are not qualified to authenticate a parking ticket. If Obama wanted to end this he could have followed the process and sent his birth certificate to the lab.

We are getting a series of lies debunked daily with no accountabiility.

Obama was claimed not to be a member of the "New Party". This claim was debunked by additional evidence that the traditional media ignores. Obama has been claiming he barely knows communist terrorist
lowlife Bill Ayers. Amazingly he was witnessed celebrationg July 4 at the Ayers household by a friendly blogger.

How many lies and free passes will the media give Obama. It is not even attempting to do even the most basic research into the least qualified person to ever be elected President.

NYPD stupidity

Leftists always ranble on about the "need for diversity" in the work place. Jews tend to be historically under represented in the NYPD. There was a candidate that passed the training, but was fired before they could serve due to failure to trim his beard. The beard is religiously mandated and this is a clear case of bufoonery by some dimwit in human resources.

Do not expect the lefties at the ACLU or the National Laywers Guild to lift a finger as Jews are passe.

Bloomberg should be held directly accountable for this.

Tired of the MSM malfeasence on Obama

Obama was elected as a symbol of the media's dreams of a perfect candidate. He promised a post racial America and while there is definitely those who are against him based on his race plenty of people voted for him because of his race. No candidate in any election has ever been allowed this level of deception and lapses about his past.

The result of this media coronation was the election of a prep school pothead who used and abused family connections in the far left to toady his way into social promotions. Then using the same far left connections
a job in academia, then local elected office and social promoted into the White House.

Obama has presided over a train wreck economy clueless blundering and making every situation he goes near worse. His sole achievement is he was the President who gave the order to get rid of Osama.

I am perplexed at why his admirers think his every utterance is genius when all he does is read off a teleprompter. He shows zero leadership and surrounds himself with buffoons.

Now the media is going to go into overdrive trying to scare Blacks, gays, Latinos and senior citizens that the election of a moderate Republican is going be their dooooooom. The Union thugs will leave OWS and will hold jack booted rallies. Obama's allies in big media, big academia and Hollywood will be everywhere trying to distract you from the obvious.

Is your country a mess? Do you have any confidence Obama can correct the economy?

Anyone not named Ron Paul is preferable to the potted Marxist narcissist.

Organized Labor and beyond the mythology

There is an arrogance about unions in some quarters. There is the presumtion that anything corporate is evil and unions are saintly. Big labor has lost its way by allowing far left activists to marry them to inane and toxic causes like OWS. The purpose of a labor union is to collectively negotiate for its members and protect the rights of its members.

Unions lose credibility when they do things as stupid as defend teachers having sexual relationships with students. There are plenty of cases where management wrongfully abuses or terminates workers, but this is a tad much. Even guilty people are entitled to a defense, but teachers unions are utterly disgraceful sometimes.

Do note the major newspapers go crazy and hype the stories of sexual misconduct in the Catholic Church and the Ultra Orthodox Jewish sects. Despite many high profile cases they have not placed educators and their union defenders under similar scrutiny. Sorry, but the media feigns ignorance when discussing the union defence of boorish behavior by educators.

When discussing job actions like an honest mistake. I tend to be forgiving as these are clerical errors that can happen to anyone. When discussing corruption, gross misconduct or ethical lapses this is something far more serious. An educator wearing sneakers instead of shoes is a small matter. Selling grades or sexual relations with students is a more serious matter. All people are entitled to a defence including the guilty and ethically challenged. Sometimes the union guys are the good guys and frequently they are not.

Obama just stupid and arogant

Obama claims he knows more about Judaism than any other President because he has Jewish friends and
read about the subject. This sounds much like the redneck who swears he isn't a racist because he has a Black friend or two and has read the biography of Malcolm X.

The logic of Obama is that a few bog hits with Jews make one an expert on Jews  is puzzling. 

I would sooner trust Nixon whose antisemitic words stand in contrast to heroic support  for Israel than Obama.

Time to take animal cruelty seriously

I seldom side with animal rights nuts. However, when a disturbed nut executes cats in a bag by sucking the air out with a vacuum cleaner or feeds them to pythons this is something that desrves notice and action.
Unfortunately, abuse of animals is frequently a sign that shows up later in serial killers.

The subsequent snuff film is not unexpected from this moron.

In this case where a person deliberately tortured his victim the death penalty is waranted.

Retirement at 80

This may indeed be no joke given the dire financial situation.  In my job this is not so bad as barring health problems I can keep going. In the end rather than trim the large entitlements the mandatory retirement age will be raised.

If you like your job an extra 15 years is no problem. Plenty of people retired at 55 after 25 or 30 years. Social security,  pensions  and IRA's will do wonders. Of course those job openings for the young won't be there as people work longer.

Actually a more humane way is to reduce the days at 65 four day work week with a small social security payment. 70 three days a week with a larger payment. 75 two days a week  full social security and 80 retirement. Transitioning into retirement is better and the last five years should be a mentorship time.

Moved

My duties at work have been slightly altered somewhat by the managerial rotations. I have deftly avoided all specialty work until now. Specialty work is loved by many, but I have little love for this type of work.
I like my odd generic cases day in and day out year after year.

I remained with my supervisor which is a plus. I am now her senior officer and the one with longest tenure
in the area and with her. In reality the most senior officer is expected to mentor and provide technical expertise. The supervisor provides the policy and crunches the numbers and the lead is a buffer.  The lead knows the team and provides direction. This supervisor and I rarely disagree and when we do she knows how to get me moving. It is really quite simple give a rational reason and I move accordingly. My sole difference is we take care of our own first before helping others. I was all ready mentoring three of the members of this team. 

Our team focus is military cases and general work. We do have military cases and they deserve extra effort. This is something no manager needs lecture me on. I did this long before it was a priority as the right thing to do. Top management is extremely helpful when a military problem happens. I have been called in as a specialist when nasty problems occurred with this type of case a few times. A more aggressive officer with a talent for networking is sometimes needed to achieve the task.

It is a slight diversion from my current task. Remaining with the same supervisor is a plus as I expected to remain with the same crew more or less. Being a lead is not something I really wanted as I am happier just working away on my own issues.

Mayor Nuts

Mayor Bloomberg has invaded the personal liberty of NYC with his proposed ban on soft drinks larger than 16 oz. This ban appears aimed directly at 7-11 which provides slurpees and big gulps. The soft drinks are especially needed in the summer durring a heat wave.

While Bloomberg is admirable in many respects, he does go way too far with his draconian public health initiatives. Rather than directly address the issue of personal liberty, his aides dance around the issue.
Soda consumption is on the decline and blaming obesity on any single factor is a stretch.

In the lean mean workplace there have been changes. We are expected to do the job with almost no staff. We have less than half of the officers of two years ago. All that remain are working the way I was used to. A really great coworker said "Beaks how do you keep your energy after the third interview to number 8".
I pointed to the bottles of Diet Mountain Dew. I gave him one and now we have three people using Dew as a leveler to provide cafine and water at the same time.

I have not had a lunch break since this new program started. I have resorted to grazing and others have adopted the tactic. Grazing is when workers have a break they eat quickly for five minutes. This tactic allows for a bite or two from a sandwich or a bag of chips. Even on a review day I am dumped calander cases and have to junk lunch or eat everything in five minutes.

Basically, the union is largely correct when they describe the current mode as the new plantation. We are in essence working ten hours and getting paid for eight. The system of work measurement is arbitrary and capricious and designed to punish rather than gain productivity or quality. We spend all day counting things three times when once is sufficient. My boss chided me Beaks you are 6 under draft a sheet. This information was gleaned by looking at another report. Why I simply don't copy that report I don't know.

Of course speculating on why people are obese is not resolved by cup sizes at 7-11. The world we live in has changed.  We don't get home cooked meals. Workers don't get formal lunch breaks and are harried by impossible standards and are exausted. Of course the new work place includes the brutal days worked by the 1%.

Lets pick a sample reading list for and Intro Lit course

My selections are based upon simplicity and imparting the joy of reading

1) The Tempest
2) The Hairy Ape
3) Moby Dick
4) The Grapes of Wrath
5) 1984 and Animal Farm as both are short.

Time to Hold Higher Ed Accountable

The time has come to hold Higher Education accountable for its shady business and hiring practices. There is much anger in the land at Wall Street. I work nearby and live with hard working people who work there.
While the business practices of Wall Street at times have deserved scrutiny it should not come from the even more corrupt Big Academia Mafia and its Godfather Don Barak Obama. Unlike the real mafia higher education has no business plan and has a better track record of dealing with cronyism. Barak Obama is basically a high functioning druggie who used his families left wing ties to get into elite prep schools, did poorly at Occidental and magically turns up in the Ivys via nepotism, legacy points or affirmative action. Obama then repeats every cliche from the far left and is socially promoted to a law degree and a University job.

Most of us know lower functioning druggies who lose their life's savings and end up meandering through debt, job loss and pathetic lives. Blaming Wall Street and Bankers for student debt loads with worthless degrees is akin to blaming loan sharks for drug addiction. The only responsability banks do have is not doing a better job at eliminating certain loans by major. You want to get a doctorate in Anthropology do so on your own dime or make the universities liable for default.

There is much talk about diversity in faculty and the student body. 90% of this is speculation and having seen yet another example of a far leftist contrive fake Indian heritage it seems like a way for the far left to merely get the Indians of their own imagination. Ward Churchill was nothing more than a far left cliche with sunglasses and a greasy ponytail. Elizabeth Warren pretty much said hey I am from Oklahoma and all you rubes think we all have Indian DNA. She used her far left connections to get a job at an elite university that she had not earned through merrit. Of course she is one of the people who have the dubious claim of founding OWS. Unlike David Graeber, whose scholarship and credentials as a genuine scholar, are not in question even by those opposed to his innane politics Warren benefitted from this scam. The notion that an Indian ( Native American) Marxist brings something unique to the table that a Marxist from other places does not is false. They basically look at issues from the same vantage point and pretty much say Amen on the large issues while making mountains out of molehills as only Marxist morons can on minor Marxist theological dogma.

 In fact the scarcity of people who hold differing philosophies results in a series of lunatics creating sham scholarship and a series of statements like wishing for 1000 Mogadishus or Little Eichmans after 9-11.
The social science fields is pretty much a jobs probram for fellow believers in Marxism with a few slots for Greens and Anarchists. Leftists like to use the term "adverse impact" in terms of testing and race and abuse statistics to advance the case to place more minorities on campus at the expense of more qualified non minorities. Of course any use of the same statistical tools to cast doubt on hiring methods that allow 1% of the population to be exponentially over represented or remedies to correct these imbalances are not open for discussion. We are supposed to shovel more money at what amounts to a job program for a different 1% of the population and saddle young people and society with crushing debt loads so political hacks can bandy Martov, Menchu, Marx and Mengistu in faculty lounges. Work is something to be done between bong hits and after attending whatever political activist activity suits the current fashion.

We are supposed to wonder how a series of Marxist activists get hired in Universities miraculously even when they are terrorists, related to NYC communist leaders, fake Indians or even a University head related to Bernie Sanders. What is utterly amazing is a Maoist crank with an obsessive pathological obsession about Jews and Israel and personality disorders got hired multiple times for jobs with no peer reviewed articles. Of course lefties can point to the equally odious nut who testified at the David Irving trial as a non leftist racial power friendly crank. A genuine look at the bio shows this professor was also very much a part of the far left and kept going until they found common ground with the folks at Stormfront. Lefties point out that Kovel was merely a "green" who when not ranting incoherently about Israel was obsessed with anticommunism.

The far left is full of vapid conspiracy theories that involve Jews controlling whatever. Some unfortunates talk of a velvet mafia that has inordinate influence in Hollywood. No group has ever contolled anything more than the far left has abused Academia and the taxpayer for its whims. We are supposed to be outraged by the underworked banker selling worthless paper between coke hits. Bankers are many things and need to be regulated but they are not underworked. How does Prof Chomsky have time to write all these books speak everywhere, write scores of articles and teach classes. Does he even work 20 hours a week for his huge salary. Bankers are greedy, but lazy politically connected academics making six figure salaries paid for by the tax payer are paragons of virtue.

It is time for the GOP to run against Obama and his faculty lounge lizard allies.

The Beakerkin Platform

1) Universities must cosign all loans. This would discourage the unqualified students and useless degrees.
2) Elimination of all preferences except those for veterans
3) Complette review of staffing models. Hire must be done above board by the University President and board of directors. The days of Bolshevik star chambers ends.
4) Elimination of tenure for unprofessional conduct detrimental to the university. The days of Norman Finklestein and Ayers spanning the globe making their Universities look absurd are over.
5) No student loans or research grants for any University with a terrorist on faculty
6) Consolidation of sociology, anthropology and victims studies into one department. Philosophy and Political Science merged into one department. All of the above reduced in favor of business classes as degree requirements.
7) Foreign students who get arrested at polical protests get mandatory deportation from the USA and barred for two years. American students arrested lose all Federal loans for the same period. American students arrested for political activity abroad may not get student loans and be barred from hiring for 20 years after the arrest.
8) Financial institutions may withold parts of loans on specific courses they deem objectionable. This would encourage universities to be more careful with their course offerings.
9) Into to lit would draw from a list of One Hundred Books and must include at least one work of Shakespeare.
10) Triple tier pay system Hard science and math professors get top pay, Business, Nursing and Law get the next grade of pay and Social Sciences and Lit get the bottom tiered pay. Publishing is de-emphasized at the third level but course loads are increased and Sabaticals are eliminated.

Rip Eitan Patz

Around the time of my bar mitzvah  a few days later a child disappeared in Greenwich Village. The child was never seen again and his name has entered the lexicon for abducted children. Most children are abducted in a custody situation and this was clearly not the case.

All of us in NYC knew the ending of this story in our hearts. The question of if the killer would be brought to justice was something many of us doubted. Today with video cameras this likely would have been resolved quicker.

The real tragedy is that a Jamaican handiman who had no connection to this crime was a suspect. Even scarier was that this person lived an unexceptional life and may not have repeated this act. The other suspect was a convicted pedophile and should be loathed even if not guilty of this crime.

The body of Eitan Patz will likely never be recovered. However, his family does have some measure of closure for this crime. Those of us in NYC in 79 and many around the world will never forget the name of Eitan Patz.

Do any of you remember Ari Halberstam? How about Robert Stethem? Edward Byrne?

Thank You Editrix

The Editrix and AOW and a few of you know today is my birthday. I share this day with John Wayne, James Arness and Sissy Spacek. Oddly this date including the year is shared with the people of Guyana.
Today is Guyana independence day.  When I do work with my families community this is part of the stand up comedy act I do for a few charities. The charities raise money to send Guyanese kids for medical treatment in India.

I am going to spend time with my daughter and the little dog. The little dog is probably the only living creature that steals food from me and lived to tell the story. Actually the daughter has been known to steal a spinach roll or spinach pie from me. Sometimes she gets mad at me because of the jokes. I told her the story of a little girl who drank pineapple soda on the night of a full moon with a thunderstorm and became a werepinapple. There was a thunder storm outside and I spun the tale and told her to check her skin and hair. She was scared but I told her there was no full moon. What would a werepineapple do anyway search for coconuts.

As I age it is impossible not to see how much I have mellowed out over time. How much of that is time or being a dad only the guy upstairs knows.

Other May 26 events House Unamerican activities started and Stevie Nicks, Peggy Lee and Brett Musburger were born today.

Z thanks for your help.

Time for a rant

Readers of this blog are well aware of the dialouge that goes on between myself and the Duck. Generally, I am very modest about the work I do. I have been decorated many times for my service above and beyond the call of duty. This is something that doesn't mean much because the public deserves this each and every day. The job I do is a labor of love for my country and the American people.

Those I talk to off line are amused by the stories from the front. This is why I am amused when a hack educator who teaches videography questions my values. I change lives for the better and protect the public and he teaches would be bar mitzvah photographers.

I am the first Kahanist in recorded history with Hindu family. How a Marxist who imagines he is soooo bright confuses a secularist with those who want to create a Torah State is beyond comical.

In my private and professional life I am a modest man who avoids public speaking and award ceremonies. Unfortunately some of the charities like me to do standup comedy. Even at work when I get mad, frequently
it just comes out funny. The humor is based on just thinking differently at odd situations. The building is evacuated by an earthquake and I grab a hot dog and a Dew and grumble about finding a Knish.

I mentor many officers and am a union activist. While the Duck talks .. I do.

Yet at the end of many a tough day it is the greeting of the Maltese or my daughter that I long for. I ejoy letting the dog hang out with me or steal a lamb chop. When I go for a walk he is there waiting to join me and he never gives me trouble other than wanting to play with every dog he sees.

I wouldn't trade the magical moments I share with the public for more prestige.

Yes I am a liberal

The most amusing thing about this blog is those who are off the map to the left never get beyond the actual cliche lines about their opponents. When the sanctimonious left is criticized they go into reflexive memes. It took Communist Clown Renegade Eye years to deduce I am a liberal.

Liberals used to be more like me and less like John Kerry.

1) I am proud of my country and its history. I can look at the unpleasant chapters like the treatment of American Indians and Slavery in a balanced manner.

2) Communism is a nasty death cult of morons who are nore dogmatic than the folks at the 700 Club they mock with zero social graces and low IQs. They are not the moral arbiters of anything. I do not work with them or put up with their presence.

3) While I am not a Conservative, I usually respect their integrity. When I disagree with policies I respect their intentions. Communists rationalize every actions of our enemies and reflexively blame America for every imagined ill on the globe.

4) Socialism is a lousy idea. True socialists frequently allow actual commies into their ranks and are frequently obstructionist. While workers rights are an important item unions need to work place issues
and be as apolitical as possible.

5) Man made global warming is a hoax. Greens that go on diatribes against anti communists  like Kovel or ex Maoist Finklestein  fool nobody.

6) Obama is inept as a leader. He is incaple of correcting the economy.

7) I do not aspire to make the USA more like the EU.

8) The cost of higher education is outrageous.

9) I do not worship psychology. The field has become way too politicized. Long term patients like Woody Allen and Barbara Striesand have been at it for decades and are still loathsome on many levels.
A professional who told either to grow up and get their inflated egos back to reality would have been replaced long ago. Rationalizing their clients gross behavior does not promote sound mental health. Therapy has become a poor substitue for religion. The advice of most therapists is no more sound than that of a trained clergyman.

10) While I do believe in regulation, I oppose paper tyranny, procedural fetishism and cowboyism of governmental workers. Get people of sound judgement on the job and stay out of their way.

11) 90% of what we call art is BS.

12) Popular culture should entertain first and everything else is secondary.

Not a classic rant but it feels goooooooooood

Surf music is theraputic and clears my office. I fantasize about wearing a loud tropical shirt, Bermuda shorts and white shoes to work on a day I don't have to deal with the public. Until then I can unknown
songs like Gypsy Surfer, Sandstorm, Bullwinkle 2 and Bumble Boogie on the CD player and imagine.
I can also imagine Don Rickles style retorts to the human hockey pucks that make policies in DC.

Not exactly what Lennon Imagined but I am a real NYC guy.

Dudeology question of the day

Your girlfriend says she is angry at you for something and is not talking to you until you figure it out

Which response is worthy of being a dude

A) Give her flowers and let her vent
B) Ask exactly how is this a punishment
C) Pop a beer and get some chips and wait for whatever
D) Tell her how important she is to you and that you are not a psychic
E) Plan some romantic gesture to ride out the storm.

Remember, being a dude and sound judgement often are not the same. Not all of us can be Mr. B or Beakerkin.

Sandwich Wars

I forced myself to go to Quiznos for a more recent evaluation. Their product still is far better than Subway but has gotten worse. You likely get more bang for your dollar at Quiznos than Potbelly. However, Potbelly seems to taste better and have better attmoshpere despite lame chips. I might visit more frequently because they have Diet Mountain Dew on tap. If you want the best product Lennys is hands down the best if you can handle the ordering system which is almost like being mugged. Au Bon Pain is creative but not up to par. They have some interesting offerings, but are just mediocre. Blimpie provides amazing value and nostalgia but nothing else. Subway is over rated uninspired and I only go there when they have a limited time offering. I can't say that any of these offerings got me to run back looking for more except the Garden Chicken Salad.

There are some on the left whose hatred for Obama is worse than that of the Tea Party. I just finnished reading an off the wall rant by Pilger. Bradley Manning is not being charged with treason because he is gay. Even if his tales of bullying are true there is never a rationale for treason. Any rationalization of his actions are insults to gay people everywhere.

The fake indian in MA is looking worse as she submitted recipies. I shall invent my own tribe of the Jouix and ask if I can submit Gefilte Fish and roadkill mashed potato recipies into the next book. Genuine Native American Indian food as served in the Museum of the Native American is far superior to cliche fancy resturant fare. If Americans ever knew how good Native American food tasted it would be everywhere.

The Long Voyage Home

I watched one of John Wayne's films that I have not seen. One of the oddities of Wayne's career was he did do a film based upon Eugene Oniels play. Unlike many authors who hate the film version of their work Oneil loved this version. You will see many familiar faces from John Wayne films. Ward Bond gets the meatier role as Yank and dies. John Qualen and Barry Fitzgerald are seen quickly. Qualen one again is playing a Scandanavian including multiple  " By Yimminy'. The star of the film is Thomas Mitchell who is seen in Stagecoach with Wayne. Ian Hunter plays a large role as a sailor trying to forget a misdeed at home.

The film was about the stark lives of broken men who passed their days as merchant marines. Oniel unlike modern communist authors understood that a playwright must never bore his audience or shriek at them. The story comes first and Oniel wrote about a subject he knew well life at sea. His works show the stark depessing world he knew well. One was familiar with this world from Two Years Before the Mast which is seldom read in school anymore.

Ouch

I bought my daughter her first bicycle. It was better than hearing endlessly I want a bunny. The dog would probably eat the bunny. Where do kids get the absurd ideas. Rabbits can not be released after byou get bored with them. They are also not exactly like the Maltese which oddly never wants to spend time with the daughter. The dog jusst wants to hang out with the old man or go to the dog run.




















j

Junk Food Culture

I was talking with friends about films we remember and why. Some films are shown many times because they are worthy like The Good The Bad and The Ugly or The Searchers. Their are other films that we love to watch and are dreadful and are played over and over again like Dirty Dancing, Kelly's Heroes, Flash Gordon and the Revenge of the Nerds films.

Kelly's Heroes was a film that was chopped to death. Watching it over the years and growing up it takes new shapes as you age. The film would likely be forgotten if it were not for the proto hippie played by Sutherland and the edgy NYC scammer played by Rickles. Telly Savalas plays Sgt. Kojak well and Eastwood is there but almost secondary. As a young child the combat held the attention as we age the comedy and the perplexed reactions to the beatnik are hysterical. The original film had more charachter development and antiwar sentiment and allegedly showed Eastwoods crew getting caught. In the end the actual ending is better because you wonder did they get away. In reallity the answer has to be no except for the Germans who likely had a greater chance to bury the loot and come back.

On certain levels these films are memorable and you want to see them again knowing they aren't high art but they are fun. Maybe the fun factor is why we don't see the Deep or Black Sunday as often. I saw the excellent Harry and Tonto a year or two ago. For whatever reasons the second Planet of the Apes film is never shown. Our own Ducky has a cameo playing a mutant worshiping the atomic bomb. Logans Run is seldom shown but was a good film.

Maybe the trick to fims impact is to have a great star like Wayne or Eastwood and be shown for generations. My daughter hates surf music and quckly knows who John Wayne is. Similarly, I have a fun time watching Zach and Cody or Wizards of Waverly Place with my kid. She doesn't get Fonzie or Alex Keaton or that dad was a cross between the two. It doesn't have to be high art if you watch it with your family.

More Sandwich Chains

I am delving into the sandwich wars of NYC. There are many options but I decided to look at the first entry into the crowded market Blimpies. It was a great concept in the 80's and I can remember sitting with my friends in college and we would scounge some money together and buy two foot long heroes. Blimpie was a great value to the College student. I still prefer it to Subway and on some levels it provides great value for your dollar. Unlike Subway where all you get is bread Blimpie gives you a fair deal. I really don't go there for the food as much as the nostalgia. I miss some of those friends from college and one of them didn't even make 40.

I have been hearing amazing things about a new chain in NYC called Lennys. Pot Belly is more of a Starbucks hip feel with small but decent sandwiches. Lenny's has the essence of NYC it is fast paced like getting jammed into a subway. However, the secret is that the sandwiches are the best of any comercial sandwich chain I have been to. You don't sit about and listen to music,but the food is stellar. Oddly, I order a combination I frequently make at home Turkey and Corned Beef on Rye with Russian Dressing and Coleslaw. At home I add a a few pickled peppers and a slice of NY Deli Pickles. It was almost as good as the ones I make at home. Lenny's is like NY and if you can get past the ordering system that is intially confusing and almost adverserial you have found a gem.

I am going to have to get around to Pret a Manger, Cosi and the very hyped Earl of Sandwich. Sadly the places that need Lennys are the least likely to have one. I probably would have lived in the place if they had one in Burlington. It is like a slice of real NY even with the attitude.

The question of where I rank Lennys vs Potbelly. Lenny's food wins hands down, but if I am unwinding Potbelly is fine. I still have never found a reason to enter a Subway other than convenience or an advertised special.

Yet another fake Indian

After the Ward Churchill scandal, I thought I heard the last story of leftists faking being Indians for jobs in higher ed. Elizabeth Warren is not an Indian and should be facing charges for falsely claiminmg  to be one in order to get a high paying job she did not earn on merrit.

The time has come for a full review of hirring practies in higher education.

More Junk food

I went for round two at Potbelly. I had a sandwich called a "wreck". It was a work of brilliance. Frankly, there is zero reason or rationale to sit in a Subway if a Potbelly is available. At this location Boylan Black Cherry was available. The only thing that was less than perfect was the high end chips that lack a punch. I have no idea who makes Zaps but they are not upto par.

The Sandwich shop is a crowded genre. For a Philly Cheese Steak I still prefer Carl Jr's and every now and then they have an awesome fish sandwich that would be perfect with a better bread. I don't think I have set foot in a Quiznos in two years or more. I may go in and take a look. I will go into a Subway only for a special and not their ordinary fare. I do like Au Bon Pain but Pot Belly is so much better that unless I am by the SI Ferry I will not set foot in one. Many people have tried to get me to try Cosi and I will have to get around to it.

Onto Music. J&R moved the Oldies Music Upstairs. I have been listening to CD's from an outfit called ACE Records. I can honestly say that the Teen Beat 3 was so good that I ran to locate vollume 2 and 4.
One of my CD's went Bad but I got another. A CD with Ride the Wild Surf by Jan and Dean and the hysterical Surfer Joe is worth a play.

I got killed at work. I am still in a holding pattern due to jury duty. I was told to call in and given a message to go to work and call again. I do not know until 5 if I have to report to the court. I got nailed with seven cases and zero prep time. No officer gets more than five but I brought them home with no fanfare. The attorneys were overjoyed with the switch as I was not scheduled to hear cases and work on another team.
Hopefully, I will get nothing tommorow and make room in my office.

Junk Food Review

From time to time I venture into fast food joint and give my thoughts. The sandwich shop is one that I go to frequently. I am largely unhappy with Subway and will go in only if they have something new. The standard menu items are not as good as Au Bon Pain, Quiznos or the newest entry to NYC Potbelly.

You probably get more bang for your dollar at Quiznos. The sandwich at Potbelly was on the small side. However it tastes better than at the other chains. I was disappointed they had only premium root beer as a beverage. Had they offered Boylan Soda this would be the best chain going. The mood and the attmosphere make this a place I intend to visit again.

Back to the Jungle

It looks like I will be making another trip to the jungle. The locals are still talking about my previous trip. How much of it is exageration and just small town boredom is open for discussion. My odd items such as assorted condiments, surf music, strange food items and misadventures are still discussed over a year later.

In Guyana one does not expect to encounter Country Music but the locals are quite fond of it. I was rather surprised at the amount of queries about surf music. I sent a few CDS of it after I departed with friends going in as well as some Odd CD's for the home when I arrive. I expect the relatives to poke around as my items are luxuries. Having all of the Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns, Ben Hur as well as Hannah Montana and Rocky and Bullwinkle for the kids has provided hours of fun.

My food items did not survive the first day. Japanese Cherries, Pumpernickel Bread and canned goods went fast. Most of the locals were curious and had never seen those items

This trip will be into the interior. I do not know if the locals will allow me the time to enjoy this trip. The last time I was pretty much stuck around town except for a day. We had plenty of visitors and I was not allowed the time to adventure into the interior.

I did take a boat to crab Island which was a great mini adventure. I did not see the rare Canjee Pheasant. You frequently smell them long before you see them. My trip was at the wrong time of day for the boat to get into the Canjee Creek. I also enjoy buying fish and shrimp off the dock.

I am not a great guest. However, this time I will be better prepared for the trip. I will send supplies ahead so that I can travel lighter.

Leftist BS about Gays

The left lives in a fantasy world of fear mongering. Elect a Republican and gays get herded into closets and watching Will and Grace is prohibited.

The truth is that there is a severe problem with homophobia in the West Indian community. Contrary to imagined media rationalizations the perpetrators are neither religious nor Conservative. The same people that will end a career over real and frequently imagined racial slights have no problem using homophobic slurs and claim that certain women posses "gaydar".

In media circles the craven Obama move is being potrayed as courage. In fact he was elected by cowardly hiding who he is. At the last hour his position on this issue changes after talking with his family. I want to point out that this series of expedient back flips is exactly why he shouldn't be trusted and can not lead. The anti Obama Mayor Bloomburg stated his convictions when expediency was not in his favor. Bloomberg is a genuine leader  and Obama is a joke on all levels.

The joke is on the American people and was never funny, it is pathetic.

Leftist hysteria

I am amused at the continued hysteria by those on the left about abortion. Sorry, but as much as we loved Reagan he did not overturn or impede abortion availability. On HP some moron whined about Roe being the sum of all rights.

Sorry but the left has been intruding in on my person liberties everywhere except the bedroom

I am stuck with pricey toilets that don't get the job done
Lightbulbs that stink
Energy taxed onto the sofa
Beverage taxed into water
Cigarette taxed from the same crowd pushing legalization of weed
Taxing chips and Junk food

Sorry, but I am tired of these intrusions into my personal liberty by the left. The sum of mosts peoples lives is not defined by the bedroom and folks need to eat, drive and go to the bathroom daily.

Obama the genius

I am flaberghasted how people presume a President who reads whatever inane items are on a teleprompter is a genius. The same people complained about GW Bush being unarticulate. Anyone can read from a teleprompter, even Katie Couric who is from the special ed school of journalism.

Obama is arrogant and undecisive. If he has a child it would look like Trayvon Martin. Is that before or after the faux gold teeth and gangster tatoos. That was a dopey statement from a President who could have urged or dedicated resources to aid the investigation.

When he talks off the cuff as he did to Joe the Plumber you see the arrogance come to the forefront.

Lefties in scare tactic mode as Elmer Fudd

I am borrowing the rhetoric of the far left before elections. They trot out the usual hysterical fear bit like the claims about lynching and the election of Bush. The idea is to scare seniors, gays, Hispanics and Blacks into voting for Obama the savior.

Lefty Fudd: If you ewect a Wepublican its back to the closet for you hooomoosexuals. The sex police are going to invade your bedwooms and burn all your Bette Midler cds. Will and Gwace will be taken off cable and Fox will show Wedneck Eye for the Gay Guy.  The GOP plans to make a weal man card requiring men to was NASCAR and the NFL and ban tofu.

Of course this is utter bs. There are countries that do indeed have sex police, but it is not politically correct to name them.  Of course the left is too busy stoking Jooo hatred or worrying about the 700 Club to get this one right. Most conservatives don't care about who does what in private as long as all parties can consent. The problem starts with the hysterical need to indoctrinate politically correct views about homosexuality in grade school. Problems with low class behavior at Gay parades are frequently mentioned by many gays who are embarrassed by these antics.

Similarly, there are those who portray all opposition to Obama as racist. Actually, the GOP was well on their way to electing Cain before a media campaign side tracked him. Does anyone remember John Edwards or Bill Clinton getting a fraction of the scrutiny of Cain. Nobody accused Cain of rape, and Bill Clinton lied until Blue stained dresses and tapes made this impossible. Are some people bothered by Obama's race? Did many vote for him because he was Black and a symbol?

We live in an era where Hispanics outnumber Blacks. Many of the new Blacks come from Africa and the West Indies and are not the desecndants of slaves or people who labored under Jim Crow. Obamas sole genetic relation to slavery in America was his mothers family owned slaves. We were given a series of guilt trips about slavery. However, why should an immigrant from Mali benefitf from programs designd to right historic wrongs that have little or nthing to do with them. In fact slavery in Africa was ended by those evil colonialists that the left likes to whine about.

Its time we started to laugh at these scare tactics.

We need look no further than Greece to see where the cult of Obama goes.

Great Pot Smoke In

I passed through Union Square Park on my way home. My favorite Pizza place is gone. I had been visiting there for more than 20 years. The place across the street is pretty good. However, one can not get the same feeling from a destination that has been part of your life for so long.

Unfortunately, I was wearing clothing with my employers name on it. As such I was careful not to engage the locals. An communist anti semite from the tiny but stridently antisemitic Pseudostine movement was there. I really need to locate a bunch of Caterpillar hats and Tonka Bulldozers. Now some of you may think that making pancake jokes about Rachel Corrie is cruel. However, signs describing Jewish conspiracies to control the government and calling Jews who support Israel traitors deserves a response. Communists questioning the loyalties of anyone is at best some sort of joke. Julius and Ethel weren't executed for being Jews, think again comrades.

The main event appeared to be a meeting of aging communists with the Bill and Ted crowd of druggies. Lengthy speeches about legalizing drugs were the topic. I could have drawn a larger crowd than that with a free Vanilla Ice concert.

Violating the office and position

I want to point out that the very vocal anti American clowns at OWS who don military and police uniforms at political events are violating US laws. There are numerous laws agaainst this behavior and people like Ray Lewis and Shamar Thomas should be prosecuted.

A mentally deranged Thomas was viewed on tape screaming and foaming at NYPD officers who were remarkably restrained durring his temper tantrums. The media portrayal of the event could not be further from the truth. This was the case of a publicity seeking imbecile abusing his former status as a member of the military to aid and abet Communists and Anarchists seeking to provoke the NYPD and ordinary NYC resdents into violent counter reactions to their provokations.

The script is familiar and really fools nobody who is familiar with the thugs, losers and morons of OWS.  A police officer is provoked by lawless behavior and the cameras film screeching protesters screaming about police brutality. Did you see what happened ten minutes before the film? Do you ever see this or hear about abusive behavior.

Was Shamar viewing actual Police brutality when he made his well rehearsed rant? No. The rant of Shamar was a well rehearsed publicity stunt. The fact that a deranged nut was allowed to abuse NYPD officers in a well rehearsed rant says much about the actual restraint of NYPD.

OWS is not spontaneous nor is it leaderless except in the demented minds of the MSM amen chorus. In fact there were areas of Zuccoti Park that its members tried to illegally close off from the public where the strategy of media manipulation and tactics are discussed. 

Maybe Shamar and Ray Lewis could find some more people in uniforms and sing a few protest songs. There probably are a few actual construction workers and bikers with too much free time. All that is missing is a person dressed up as an Indian and they have mocked the Village People.

The Village People were gainfully employed skilled performers who brought enjoyment to many these words do not describe the mentally unstable Thomas and the attention whore Lewis. Thomas appears to have been in logistics and descriptions of his decorated service are exagerated. He might have done a partol here or there. We thank him for his service and he is free to protest without his uniform and would appreciate if he took his meds and found gainful employment..

Lets try this again

Long term readers know I lived in Vermont for a spell. One of the many quirks that I have is like to stop at Au Bon Pain for a their excellent food. Their newest wrap is called the Vermonter.

Whoever thought this up was obviously not a Vermonter.

Feta Cheese is not a Vermont staple. Plain chicken is also not a Vermont staple. Idiots who have never lived their have Vermont illusions of a pristine place with well manner rednecks driving Subarus and quoting long dead French Philosophers.

A real Vermonter would have a fresh cooked croissant with a freshly shot Canada goose or deer meat tenderized by gas guzzling cars. If locals insist on chicken it should be raised on beer and raised in pens listening to 60's folk music.

Vermont makes some excellent cheddar and a mix of mustard with a splash of maple syrup would be authentic.

Vermont deserves better than this wrap and my satire.

A break in the action

My hours at work are now very taxing. Unfortunately with all the retirements I am getting the nastiest cases and serving as a mentor to junior peers.

My priority with what little free time is my family, including the little dog.

Regular service will resume when I have more energy.

The True Face of the Left

Kieth Olbermann in his pompous and arrogant displays of bufoonery has shown America the true face of the left. Leftists like to talk about working class people but many have zero contact with them other than the cleaning person they regularly exploit and demean. Olbermann's antics of outrage because a limo driver had the nerve to talk to him are familiar behaviors to those who have walked in that world. He complained that another driver smelled and went through multiple companies.

Olbermann could have done himself a favor and driven himself to work. He would have to endure his own ego and would have spared the working class driver abuse. Modern celebrities like J Lo and moron extraordinaire Tom Cruise ban eye contact by the hired help. Barbra Streisand made hotel employees walk backwards in her presence. I contrast this with the love of the fans and working people shown by John Wayne who was modest enough to shake the hand of his waiter on many occaisions.

Olbermann should do a segment on himself as the worst person in America.

RIP Lou Goldstein

Earlier this week a comedic giant of the Catskills Mr. Lou Goldstein passed away. Lou Goldstein was the ultimate master of the comedic form of Simon Sez. His act worked on speed, misdirection and some of the best timing in comedy. His other routine was less well known whose the boss and what room are you the boss in. Goldstein was the entertainment director in Grossingers until it closed in the mid 80's.

Early in my career I had to learn how to interview. I incorporated much of my style from watching my fellow officers adding NLP with a touch of Goldstein's charm. In a tight spot his misdirection and speed have yielded positive responses. Goldsteins brand of ceberal wit and classic timing fit naturally into my own style.

 There is a short snippet of Lou Goldstein doing his act on the Dick Clark show. This is a smidgeon of a brilliant act that was best viewed live and in person. Long before people were doing improv, Goldstein honed his act based upon witty reaction to the people he was working with. The key to Goldstein was he used you as a comedic prop and you loved being a part of the act.

Rest in Peace to a comedic giant who was loved by all who saw him perform.

The Long Journey Home

The voyage home took three months. There were many of us who did not yearn to return to regular jobs. I was the exception spitting vinegar and hostile to the end. Yes I made new friends and my time away proved my critics wrong again. The question of if I could excell at this new task was a foregone conclusion to all those who knew my work.

I returned to my desk on Monday. Some of the lawyers were new, but I prefer familiar foils who know my quirks and mannerisms. Some of the interpreters were new but very good. There are a few who are so used to me that I do not have to even remind them I am changing tone. With the newest interpreters I do a two minute gameplan. My style depends on split second timing and misdirection and Monday I was off. It took two days but I am in top form.

This may sound odd but the other assignment is said to play to my strengths. However, I am happier in my large office with fewer people winning the ballgame rather than placing things back on track.

It is good to be home.

Life is not like TV

There are some who may be surprised that no weapon or motive has been established for the Oakland shooting rampage. As humans we place too much emphasis on motives. Most of us are wronged daily but go about an ordinary lives.

As stated in many other cases let investigators do their jobs.

Office Raided

On my last day of the detail I allowed the older workers to open my file cabinets. I have vintage CDS in the cabinet. When I go my my father to the old car shows I look for vintage cds and retro food. The workers were treated to Peter and Gordon, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Neil Diamond and countless compilations I never bothered to open

A day in town

I want to leave final judgement on the Museum of the American Indian to Native Americans. If you are looking for heavy history you are in the wrong place. The Museum excells at showing the adaptability and artistic brilliance of Native Americans. Rather than be shown as victims we are given a look into the communities today. They do not gloss over poverty either. The star of the Museum is the brilliant use of architecture and landscaping. The grounds are better than any Museum I have visited. The wetlands park is so well crafted that you can see birds clearly that you are apt to see at greater distances.
We saw a red wing Blackbird a mere 4 feet from us.

The museum has the best food I have ever had in a tourist facility. The venison and turkey and deserts were outstanding. Americans really need to spend more time eating this cuisine and it is indeded our loss that it isn't more common.

The next time I visit AOW I need to bring exotic produce. NYC has many unique stores so for this trip I went to the movie memrobilia shop and grabbed a movie still from the movie Harvey and a reproduction of the movie poster, I also purchased two Bernie Schwartz photos and an original photo with Don Rickles and Buddy Hacket.

This time Johny Rockets was good. I would have gone to the cajiun place but the lines were too long.
My next rail trip will likely be Baltimore to the huge aquarium.

Visiting AOW

I am visiting AOW and the Museum of the American Indian. Hopefully, they will have some Abenaki artifacts. I am traveling light and will visit the motion picture sore prior to going. I probably am going to place a photo of Bernie Schwartz in my office and maybe a James Woods.

Believe it or not the image of Beakerambo is still at Vermont. One of my buddies kept one in the cube.

A Lesson in Justice

The very people who are lecturing us a Martin should know all about racial killing. Years ago a Chasidic driver killed a Guyanese kid by the last name of Cato. Al Sharpton gave a speech about "Diamond Merchants"and this led to the Crown Heights riot. Two people were killed including a bearded Italian guy who was mistaken for a Jew and Yankel Rosenbaum.

An angry mob  chanting Kill the Jew surrounded and stabbed Rosenbaum. Unlike the confusion of the Martin case this was a lynching. Only one person was charged Lemerick Nelson. A disproportionately Black jury aquited Nelson in a manner similar to stories of jury nulification in the Old South. Members of the jury celebrated with the defendant after the trial. After much delay a second Civil rights trial took place and Nelson once again skirted murder becase of malpractice that led to the death of Rosenbaum. Nelson did serve jail time and was arrested afterwards for subsequent misbehavior.

Only one person in a mob chanting kill the Jew that lynch a Jew was ever charged. The man whose rhetoric about Diamond merchants led to the death by inciting the crowd was never charged. Al sharpton conceedes he made mistakes in Crown Heights.

A troubled teen made up a story about being raped by a gang of Whites. Evidence appears to point to a troubled teen making up a story to avoid the wrath of her step father. Sharpton and a legal team of flunkies obstructed the investigation and made up a story that an innocent man in the DA's office was the rapist. The mental strain of the charges helped ruin this man's marriage. He sued Brawley  who surprisngly did not appear at the hearing.

Was Sharpton charged? Nope

Al Sharpton got involved with a rent dispute at Freddy's Fashion mart a Jewish owned store in Harlem. He whipped the crowd into a frenzy and called the Jewish owner of the store "white interlopers". A follower of Sharpton torched the store and seven people died including one Guyanese.

Was Sharpton charged ? Nope

When those of you who are upset about the Martin case are upset that Martin was not charged look at the history of the man leading the cries. Investigators are not perfect and neither Martin nor Zimmerman are blameless. There may be some manslaughter charge ahead. Unlike TV not every investigator is Quincy or Agent Gibbs. In the real world many cases like this go unsolved.

Despite the claims to the contrary Martin was dressed up like a gangster. If you dress the part you need to grasp some people will react to the signals you are sending. He was upset about being followed and appears to have attacked Zimmerman. Zimmerman was clueless in not simply being proactive and professionally engaging a suspiciously dressed man wandering aimlessly in a gated community. A jury likely needs to decide if lethal force was warranted. In the worst case an untrained Barney Fife watchman followed a suspicious charachter. Rather than be proactive he followed the suspect blatantly. Unlike police officers he is not uniformed or trained or tasked with this. A fight ensued and he used lethal force.

In a rational look at things this is not a lynching nor an execution. This is an altercation and use or abuse of deadly force. Martin was shot in the chest and not executed in the back of the head.

Small town investigators do not handle these types of cases often and may have made errors. In fairness large urban police departments have well trained investigators who make mistakes.

Let those who are upset about this cast the first nerf ball at Sharpton whose history of stoking lethal reactions is well doccumented. Justice is sometmes flawed, but it is still better than show trials.

What is wrong with the Left

Many long term readers know I am to the left of most of my readers. Often I am asked how did a person like myself end up as a lifelong Republican.

1) Those on the left have consistently failed to step away from the Communists. There is zero excuse for allowing Marxists of any type to run around like they are moral beacons. Their kind has failed in every application often disasterously.

2) I embrace my countries traditions and history. I don't look to the EU or  thug like despots in Latin America for enlightenment. Let Europe be Europe and let America stay faithful to the wisdom of our founders.

3) The left really does a nasty job of creating jobs. They place imaginary concenrs about the environment over jobs for working class families.

4) The left spends too much time bashing cops and not enough time on law enforcement. Sorry, but running around with an image of a guilty cop killer at rallies is not for me.

5) Pathological hatred of Jews and far too much investment in Arab refugees who refuse to live in peace.

6) Respect for property rights

7) Intrusion into what I eat the type of toilet I can buy.....

8) Disrespect for our servicemen

9) Social engineering has been a disaster

10) Arrogance towards people of faith.

clothes make the man in some cases

I am going to return to the Martin case. Perception is often determined by visual clues.

Most jobs have uniforms and dress standards. The reason that this is the case is that the public expects a certain decorum and or professionalism. Woulld you really want to invest your money with a banker dressed like a pirate or a vampire? They could be excellent at their job, but most people really don't want to think of their financial professional as a pirate. Similarly, teachers do not get to dress up like circus clowns as doing so would distract from the lesson. Federal officers do not get to dress up like Ninjas.

Martin dressed up in a particular attire that is well known to big city residents and anyone familiar with popular culture. While it is true tatoos and the gold teeth are unlikely to be seen at night. The hoodies and the baggy pants and silly walks present an image. When we dress like criminals people are going to react to the visual clues. Thus you have a nervous night watchman and a person dressed like a stereotype gang member. This was not the case of a forever lost Steve Urkel  in suspenders and flood pants making a wrong turn. You have a person dressed up like a criminal in a gated community. A better watchman engages the person verbally and feels them out. This gives a professional notice to criminals as well and most ply their trades elsewhere.

From many accounts in the press the girlfriend reported Martin said "Why are you following me". At this point Zimmerman is likely on solid ground. Where he likely fumbles is the next point. Some reports have a nasty verbal exchage when Zimmerman tried to call for help. A professional response likely gets Martin to move on or ascertains where he is going. Failing that it establishes that the odd behaviors are being observed.

We do know about Zimmermans past anger issues and incedents. We also need to take into account Martin was the genuine article. The gangster tweets and suspensions, drug use are on solid ground. The petty thefts at school are less solidly reported but likely accurate. It apears that Martin attacked Zimmerman, who was smaller and frightened. The injuries and stains are consistent with his account of events.

At this point it is likely that investigators need to do their job. Zimmerman might be charged with some form of manslaughter and the worst case scenerio was a bumbling wannabe cop messed up and got his butt kicked and responded with lethal force inappropriately. This is clearly not a cold blooded killing and despite the hysteria may be charged at a low level.

The reactions of the left at Harry's place where a SF socialist talks of the South as if Bull Conner were still the norm. These types of racial incedents are far more likely to occur in the liberal enclaves like NYC or Oakland than Atlanta. Native born Blacks and many Puerto Ricans have been leaving urban areas for the South for decades. The Blacks one encounters in a big city are frequently Africans or West Indians. There is plenty of tension between these groups of Blacks. It is not uncommon to hear Africans from Ghana complain about street culture. 

Times have changed.

Let Investigators do their job

I want to point out a thank you to AOW for pointing out that Martin's photos in the press were many years old. The tatoos and gold teeth were not apt to be seen under a hoodie at night, but he was 6'3'' and not 4'2''.

I w ant to point out the difference between Herman Cain who has said let the investigators do their job and the dumb comments of Obama. Saying his kid would look like Martin is that without wall to wall tatoos or gold teeth.  A more responsible leader would offer FBI help to a smaller community and like Cain wait until the facts are in.

We don't know what happened on that night. The facts we do know thus far certainly do not point to an intentional cold blooded killing. At worst Zimmerman is Barney Fife whose lack of skill and suitability had tragic consequences for the task at hand. Lets say Martin was casing houses Zimmerman could have persuaded Martin to move on by engaging him verbally or asked what he was doing.

We also know that Zimmerman got beat up badly. This is not his first altercation as he has a history of this as well. Unfortunately, Martin is not around to tell his side and we will likely never know what started the fight. Whether Martin was casing properties, lost or just wandering is all likely to remain unknown as well and really besides the point. The question of what started the fight and if Zimmerman identified himself as the neighborhood watchman or tried to engage verbally is more poignant.

I want to say I am dissappointed in much of what I read on the web. Racial power nuts have claimed Zimmerman is Jewish falsely. Some idiots have claimed the selection of an odd name had a role. Africans themselves are ammused by these names like a friend from Ghana that told someone Shaniquah is not African and has a daughter named Esther. While these names are odd this is a parental choice and plenty of stupid types give dopey names to their kids especially in Hollywood. I love Brooklyn, but would never dream of naming a child Brooklyn. Do we need a Hunts Point Lopez or Queens Jones next. There are plenty of stupid names from parents of all groups.

Giving out misleading pictures in the media is shameful. I also want to point out that unfortunately the clothes
we wear and our hairstlyes  send messages right or wrong. A black guy with a shaved head is cool and heroic. A white guy with a shaved head is a skin head or selling flowers at the air port.  A fat middle aged guy in a hoodie is a slob and someone jogging in one is a jock. A kid wearing a hoodie with gold teeth and tatoos does appear menacing and criminal regardless of race. It is not like Martin was dressed up like Steve Urkel  forever lost, although the real Urkel would have a gps phone ap. If you dress like a gang member then you need to be accountable when people mistake you for the genuine article.

To all

When police stop you co-operate and answer to the best of your ability. Never be beligerant or disrespectful and if need be take a badge number. Assuming the position is not fun and it has been done more times to me than I would like to admit. We need to respect law enforcement officers let them do their jobs. If you see something wrong call a police officer and only use force if lives are in danger.

NYPD vs FBI

I want to point out that the left wing politicians have been waging a merciless jihad against law enforcement. The old days of FBI informants keeping tabs on dangerous political extreemists are long gone to our detriment.

We live in an era where political extreemists acting in concert with shadowy groups seek to kill Americans. We live in an era where dangerous political extreemists seek to damage property and hide behind crowds. We live in an era where narco terrorist governments subsize the tourism of useful idiots to spread their message.

I made many trips to the OWS camps. There was a plan by some of the organizers to storm the couthouses in Foley Square. This is the mother of all bad ideas as the guards are armed and the area may contain the largest amount of armed law enforcement and security guards in NYC. The plan would have led to probable deaths and numerous injuries. Before the vermin could act NYPD placed a ring of barriers with officers in riot gear between the barriers. The proactive precautions saved lives before OWS got out of hand. There were zero attempts to storm the courts and had any been made nobody would have gotten close.

Now there are some ranting and raving about police spying on left wing groups. In this case the information likely gleaned from informants saved lives. These left wing groups contain many prone to violence with lengthy criminal records. This does not mean that NYPD is going to catch every instance of Black Clad anarchists but their chances are better than others. The mere presence of NYPD informmants itself is a detterent and leads to more paranoia within the group.

There has been a spat between the FBI and NYPD over the latters intelligence efforts in the Muslim community. The prospect of NYC getting targeted for terror attacks increases daily. The lessons of 9-11 show that local law enforcement can not relly on the FBI or the CIA to get the job done. One of the secondary goals of the post election congress should be to undo the damage from the post Nixon era restrictions on spying on political extreemists, it should be named the Bill Ayers Act. People traveling abroad to terror camps and behaving like Lori Bernson should be subjected to scrutiny for public safety.

Once again the bird brained Duck continues to accuse me of sentiments that are at times comedic. According to the Duck I am the planets first Khanist with Hindu family. The Duck as a Communist has selective morality depending on who the victim is.

We seldom write about race because in the view of the author of the blog it should be a non factor in life. I really do not think in terms that divide my nation according to race or class like the Duck. As a moderate I think of a nation of shared values and respect for the wisdoms of  our founding fathers.  In fact the Duck spends much time ranting about me being an Israel firster in cliche Marxist Antisemitism. Does the Duck express similar complaints about Greeks, Turks or Muslims be whatever firster.

You can look at this blog and we are usually content to let investigative bodies do their jobs. We did not write posts on the Duke Lacross rape mess. We did comment on the rape charge of a morally depraved egomaniacal French Socialist abusing a unionized Hotel maid as this was a local story. The Duck who lectures us about poor working class minorities and a flawed justice system sided with the wealthy Socialist degenerate before any facts were known. Where was the Duck's concern for minorities then?

Over time many things have become known about that case. The media abroad published the name and face of the rape victim. This barbaric practice is an abomination that the sanctimonious far left media elite should be ahamed of. The media and NYPD apparently leaked information from an asylum case to the public. Testimony in asylum cases is a sacred trust and should never be disseminatedin the press. Nobody has ever conveyed a rationale for why NYPD was allowed to look at this information that is supposed to remain private. Release of this information is on an as needs to know basis and why this information was leaked to the far left press in direct violation of the law is abundantly clear.

Unsurprisingly, the woman turned out to have many unsavory details in her bio. The fact that she lied about having AIDS and her income to get subsidized housing is a concern. Relevations about prostitution, money laundering, pyramid scams made the woman a less than credible victim. This does not infer that the Socialist moral degenerate predator did not rape the victim merely that prosecuting a case with such a victim with credibility issues would be a waste of time.

Where was the Duck's concern for the African working class maid assaulted by wealthy socialist French moral degenerate? This story unlike the claims against Herman Cain or Clarence Thomas were reported at the time.

The Duck is bird brained.

Communist Spin

The latest spin by commies is comparing the US Soldier who flipped out to the killer in France. The US military does not condone this behavior and is prosecuting the soldier to the fullest extent possible. There is likely some form of severe mental illness involved.

The combat soldier had real issues that he personally experienced. The crazed Muslim nut was allegedly outraged by Frances actions in Afghanistan and by Israel's action in Gaza. Israel has been remarkably restrained given the series of provocations. For an actual look at what nations do under similar circumstances look at Grozny. If anything the exagerated press descriptions of Gaza, people who have water parts and luxury malls can not be claiming starvation, are directly culpable.

Sorry, but living in a Western society requires some manners. You do not get to butcher your neighbors because policies of the government upset you. The action of the lunatic in France are quite similar to the antics of Americann Traitor and moron Bill Ayers. Ayers did attempt to bomb US troops but luckily it killed his fellow terrorists. Ayers dementia linked his crminal acts to a war he disagreed  with abroad.

The French are supposedly going to crack down on people in terrorist web sites and who make pilgrimages to terror training camps. This is an action long overdue. It would be nice if our government followed suit. Don't expect the government to prosecute future Lori Berensons because Communist terrorists seem to get a free pass.

Crazed Muslim shoots Jews in France lets blame Geller

The media speculation about Neonazis shooting up a school in France was amusing. Actual Neonazis are far more apt to run around in their Waffen SS underoos and are too busy playing with their Leggo Concentration Camp kids to be commiting crimes. Mostly they run about in varrying states of intoxification denying the Holocaust on the Web and live in a reality somewhere between the Producers and Dungeons and Dragons. Crimes by actual Nazis in recent memory may be the shooting at the Holocaust museum. Brevik was not a Nazi and more about mental illness than coherent thought.

Large scale terrorist mayhem is almost always done by Muslims or leftists. This does not mean or infer every Muslim is guilty of yet another sick crime against huanity. Muslims toss an American senior citizen off a cruise ship and lefties rationalize the act as having some connection to Israel. No doubt these crimes damage the reputation of Muslims far more than Geller or Spenser and many Muslims grasp this, the far left does not.

Of course now that we know who the deranged killer is lets look at every website the person went to ala Brevik. Did the killer watch Scooby Doo or get their news from CNN? Maybe this killer once listened to MSNBC.....who watches that channel anyway. Maybe this person  read Atlas shrugged or saw Pam on TV
or drank milk.

Lets Worry About Pam Geller

The Duck is obsessed with my friend Pam Geller. I met Pam a few times in NYC at protests and introduced myself and exchanged pleasantries. That is about the exent of my friendship with Geller that the Duck obsesses over.

I do not need to defend Pam Geller as she defends herself quite well. Can she be shrill? Then again when has anyone who is a Communist, Anarchist or Green ever been acused of rational thought. Sorry, but if you have those political views you are little more than a circus freak show act with no moral standing to judge anyone else's morality or foibles.

Jewish civilians get deliberately targeted by Muslims and Commies but the Duck is so worried about Geller. The Duck who describes Condi Rice as Aunt Jemimah, called me an "inbred Lubavitcher" and a Khananist. The Duck has apologized for the Lubavitcher quip. What type of Torah State advocate has Hindu family? Unlike Commies actual Kahanists are quite open about who they are. Khananists are soft on so called Jewish Communists like Renegade Eye  or Prof Tarzan. Contrastingly, I point out that as Communists they are not Jews or Americans and are members of a treasonus Death Cult that seeks the destruction of the Jewish People and the USA.

The antisemitic and criminal OWS was evicted from Union Square. Kudos to NYPD for their restraint with this viscious crowd that deserves whatever NYPD dishes out. I have personally witnessed OWS vermin bait NYPD. OWS is KKK and Obama endorsed but the Duck is unconcerned about the KKK endorsement of OWS. For the record I have also met the idiot Graeber who has also stated he wishes the crap about Jewish Bankers would stop. Graeber might be a lunatic with bad ideas but he does not feign ignorance at a serious problem that anyone remotely familiar with OWS does not notice in a very short visit to OWS.

I still have my own slogans that OWS does not care for

Home Stretch

I am either two or four weeks away from returning to my beloved office. These details away do not agree with me and take a toll on my physical and mental health. Oddly, they have helped my case for redemption for whatever slings and arrows were tossed my way. My dedication to the public and ease with the public were noticed on this trip away.

I broke my previous record of fixing something that was messed up for 41 years with a case that had been messed up for at leat 50 years. Sometimes the applicant and the government talk past each other and both sides forget the path of least resistance. If I ever had my doubts about the value of personal touch this trip cured me of those delusions. In this case the applicant was given the choice of the local office or HQ. The applicant chose to come to HQ and I personally arranged the rest. I calmed the applicant and told him that if he is comfortable with this officer he can stay with us or I can make arrangements closer to home. The officer who was helping me was really top notch and the applicant decided to stay with us. A lifetime in circles will be resolved with a friendly voice and a warm hand shake.

I have spent time working with peers in other agencies with high profile cases. The idea is to stay organized and to get these cases moving in the right direction. In many cases the needs are modest and quickly resolved. In general a warm greeting and a sincere desire to serve are all that is needed.  The professionals on the other end are appreciative of getting things done. Sadly, I had to intervene and do the work myself on some of these cases as the officer was just not as adept as the circumstances required. In these situations getting to the bottom requires multiple answers.

Still my big office and familiar legal foils are on the horizon. It is possible that I got miscast as I entered. However, even my deadliest critics always granted me high productivity because the numbers were there and I had a desire to learn.

I miss the Surf Music and the big pictures of John Wayne, Telly Savalas and Mc Cloud in my office. Maybe I will add a Charlton Heston from Planet of the Apes or a Jack Klugman as Oscar Madison to my office.
My stash of Diet Mountain Dew is ready and I have bags of my favorite chips waiting.

There is a good chance I will be stuck for two extra weeks. In the big scheme it matters not one bit because home is near. I will see friends that I missed for a while. I made a few new friends on this trip but I belong home with the crazy stories and high pressure. A wolf belongs in the woods and I belong in the bare knuckle world of legal mayhem.

Waiting for Ducky to say something about Surf Music. I brought the stuff to Guyana where the locals didn't get it. However cruising down a deserted river listening to classic surf music was great. For reasons I don't grasp the locals never let me drive.

Quantum Beak

This is yet another example how Ducky's anti semitic idiocy cost us yet another job. Way back decades ago NBC hired yours trully to play the lead role in a show Quantum Beak. My costar was my good friend Duncy who was to play the quirky Hologram only seen by animals, small children and the deranged.

The opening was a tad different. Some gas mask clad soldier wasn't watching the controls while watching a Cheech and Chong movie leaving scientist Beakerkin traveling through time.

This is a scene from ther lost pilot.

Beakerkin: Oh my god what am I doing in a KKK outfit.
Duncy: Relax given your political views you probably will feel at home. Look around and see if you can find your friend Dr. Yeagley. Hey I think he's over there.
Beakerkin: You stupid moron that is a cigar store indian.
Duncy: You mean Yeagley isn't a cigar store Indian with rabies. Then again cigar store indians at least serve a purpose unlike Yeagley the unemployable.
Beakerkin: If he hated his country and paid homage to Marx he'd be a household name in your messed up community.
Clinton: Now Munroe no good Klansman ever wore Sooby Doo sheets and went around drinking Mountain Dew. The one time you need a beer you are drinking a Dew. If my friends in the trailer park could see you know they would all break out laughing.
Ducky: You are Johnl Munroe the law school chum of Bill Clinton's who introduces her to his childhood friend Hillary Rodham. If you mess this up Israel no longer exists, but we go into World War Three. Russia tries to save Cuba from a US invasion. Castro is killed and dragged through the street by his BVD's. A nuclear exchange destroys most of the planet.
Munroe: The point of this party is to mock the KKK. You never quite get anything right. You smoke pot but you don't inhale. How did you get into this University anyway the Old Bolsheviks club.
Ducky: Nice try Beakey but you can't give a hologram a wedgie.... Oh my God look who Hillary brought for a date its Dr. Yeagley.
In this timeline Yeagley marries Hillary Clinton and becomes a Newspaper Editor of the NY Times. They have six ugly children with Fred Flinstone ankles and heads full of split ends. Hilary becomes a Conservative
and the NY Times is almost to the right of the NY Post. Yeagley eliminates the book review and the arts and leisure section that fascist barbarian.

NBC recast the show and it became widely known as Quantum Leap.

Knick Jokes

Now that the coach split does he weekend custody of Jeremy Lin

I thought the Knicks were a poorly scripted reality show.

Feel free to make your own

Occupy Wall Street got a crowd of 500,000 at 34th Street by telling locals Isiah Thomas has been rehired as Coach of the Knick.

A group of cows is called a herd. A group of trucks are called a convoy. A group of overpaid high maitenence athletes are called the Knicks.

Tell Camello to get off the Jeremy Lin reality show he kills the ratings. For sweeps week Linsay Lohan to coach the Knicks.

Moron and Traitor Hanoi Jane Casts Stones at Rush

In the most ironic development traitor Hanoi Jane whose hits include calling tortured POWs liars and aiding and abeting a criminal element whose human rights abuses were well known wants Rush Limbaugh taken off the air.

The purpose of the Limbaugh show is entertainment and the Fluke comments were likely a regretable excercize in bad taste in the attempt to elicit a punch line. Fluke is also a law student recieving likely recieving public subsidized student loans. Her college, has the right to decide what type of coverage it wants to offer. The government need not intervene in the afairs of religious or private institutions and create a never ending list of entitlements. Similarly, there are those who advocate aromatherapy, accupunture and shamans with dead animal parts also be covered under insurance plans. Like Obamas claims about Conservatives who nobody has ever met, seeking extreeme positions that nobody can recall, I made up the last part and lifted it from the academic Marxist playbook seems to use every time he wants to increase the size of government and look moderate.

Limbaugh readily apologized for his actions and the sanctimonious law student can go to hell. Unlike Limbaugh Fonda slandered our POW's who were tortured by her Communist friends in a criminal attempt to undermine US foreign policy. If President Nixon were truly tyranical he would have tried Fonda and many others who aided and abeted a foreign enemy, killing and torturing US soldiers. The real Nixon was a patient man who did attempt to have a rational dialouge with Vietnam protesters who in fact were communist led. While the Constitution does allow peaceful protests many of these protests were by design not peaceful. Lost in the lefty claims about Kent State were the vandalism, arson and pelting National Guardsmen with stones. Unfortunately, the people shot were far away and unlikely involved in biating armed troops. Baiting cops who then respond with force is an old lefty tactic. Left unsaid in the last over the top example at OWS were the people Pepper sprayed did not listen to NYPD instructions multiple times. Of course the part of the cops telling people to stop illegally blocking traffic did not make the video. If anything NYPD was way too restrained given the constaant provokation of the OWS folks.

Lost in the discussion about Shamar Thomas and Captain Lewis is abusing your uniform in violation of the law. I do not get to wear my work logo at a parade or protest because to do so violates the Hatch act. In the case of Thomas and Lewis they are both no longer associated with the organizations and have not been so for four years. Just where was Thomas when some of these same Communists were calling his fellow Marines war criminals. Did he say a peep to the folks at Code Pinko for giving money and medical aid to the folks shooting at his fellow Marines in Falujah. Lewis and Thomas have the right to protest, just not in uniforms they haven't worn in years. Supposedly, it is propper to wear one's uniform at a military or police funeral or wedding.  In the case of the deranged Thomas he has parlayed his 15 minutes of fame and needs take some meds. The NYPD were remarkably restrained given his ranting and clearly psychotic behavior. The videos show zero actual or imagined abuse of OWS protesters who bait NYPD officers and then film the reactions of the police. Thomas is a John Kerry wannabe without the fake accent and the ability to take a decent shave.

No doubt the Duck would not be as charitable to people abusing their uniforms in KKK protests. Let us not pretend that OWS is not Communist and Anarchist organized and led. Moreover, unlike the Tea Party real Nazis and KKK types have endorsed OWS.

Calling a publicity hound imbecile pretentious law student a slut in a failed attempt at humor is not as serious as treason or betraying your uniform.

Defining Deviancy Downward in the Age of Obama

The economy is now such a mess thieves are now stealing Tide detergeng from stores.  What is the world comming towhen thieves steal my favorite detergent. What is next thieves stealing my beloved Mountain Dew or KFC. God help the man who tries to pry my Dew from my hands.

I have gotten used to thieves stealing copper. Copper is a valuable comodity that has scores of uses. Stealing a car makes sense as the cost of parts are expensive.  I even grasp why the diner doesn't have real Vermont Maple Syrup as it costs a fortune and to be truthful I like Ms. Butterworth and Log Cabin better.

Stealing soap, albeit high quality detergent, just seems like another sign of a society headed to the wood pile.

     

Media BS

Most of us grasp the American essence is of individual rights handed down in our founding documents. Our country is open to all who share those values and respect others. Communists, Racial power nuts and theocrats do not share those values and are not American even when they spend lifetimes in our country.

My dispute with a former friend who attempted to pollute partiotism with the foul ideas of racialism. The media and the public readily grasp the foul ideas of Stormfront, Amren and so forth. Those of you who think that those on the right enorse this crap should witness a true American Patriot like Mr. B kicking the crap out of the KKK morons.

We have a President who has supported the mirror image of the KKK type racialism. He has never come out and explained his support for an off the planet racialist group rights far left Prof. Bell. Obama regularly used his writtings as required readings for classes he taught. How a person with vulgar anti american core values was ever hired at a top University remains a mystery. Would the same University have accomodated a Prof. with similar statements with the races reversed, not likely.

Fast forward the same bug eyed radical student sits in a racist church for decades and doesn't notice the racial venom spewed from its pastor  and the vulgar anti-Americanism that is a core value of the cult church. The media allowed Obama to describe Pastor Wright as a nutty beloved Uncle. Sorry, but a White President pulling this routine would have been finnished.

The media never went near the Bill Ayers story. Describing a famed terrorist as Bill from the neighborhood and an educator is a laughable excuse we would not accept from an 8 year old. Even the loathsome Ayers when questioned on this cried about guilt by association. Ayers still does not grasp that outside his academic
gulag he is a pariah.

When and where did Obama renounce the odious racims and seething hatreds of Wright and Bell?

The lost NCIS Episode

Unknown to many TV viewers was that a familiar foil was in the first pilot of NCIS.

Gibbs: So the case boils down to
Ducky; The Marine was killed by an AIPAC cabal of Israel First Likudnicks trying to divert attention from Israel and defame Islam.
Gibbs: The Marine had his head severed outside a Mosque where he prayed five times a day.
Ducky:  It was a false flag opperation by the Mossad.

The part was given to a more rational actor and the show has since become a hit. Our Duck is still ranting away and bitter about his obsession costing him another job.

The Obsession with Jews

Despite claims of moral superiority Communists are about as obsessed with Jews as you average KKK nut and usually less sane. The entire obsession with Palestine is basically a Marxist cover for traditional anti semitism.

There are plenty of genuine indigenous people with clear cases for their own nation. However, Marxists contrived a fake ethnicity out of thin air in 1964 and have been repeating the same story.

What makes the so called Palestinian case more pressing than the Kurds or any other genuine indigenous people with languages and historical identities going back over 1000 years. It is quite revealing to look at the responses of Communists when these genuine indigenous people state their cases and get arrogantly dismissed.

Communists are no different from Nazis or KKK clowns. There is no need for geniality or feigning civility as one should not lend this to political criminals. The presumtion that Communists are morally superior or have any basis for their ideas is erroneous. Communists should be abused and ridiculed just like the other political
criminals.

So what country are you from

I an rather amused by those speculating on my nationality. In my case my family has been here for three generations and the answer is American. However, I can say with pride that I am from Brooklynistan.

Now some of you think there is no such nation. However, people have been calling themselves Brooklynites long before Arabs started calling themselves Palestinians. In fact the Brittish used that term to describe Jews living in lands they were indigenous to. How does one occupy lands that they are indenous to in the first place?

Now there are some of you who point out that I have zero connection to the Canarsie Indians, don't speak their language and there has never been a nation of Brooklyn. Similarly, Arabs have zero connection to Palestinians who were in fact Agean invaders from Crete and lived mostly in Gaza not the West Bank. Now some people might point out that unlike Palestinians who appear out of thin air in 1964 we can point to Brooklynite poets, Brooklyn sports teams, famous TV shows and plays set in Brooklyn and Palestine has a anti semitic mouse.

The leader of our nation is Spike Lee. Spike Lee wasn't born in Brooklyn but lived here and made set his best picture in Brooklyn. Similarly Arafat and Prof Said were Egyptians who magically transmogrified themselves into Palestinians to feed the Palestinian Industry. The Palistine Industry is a Arab claim for more ethnically cleansed colonied real estate. Polite society grasps the odious past of judenfrei real estate so to soothe the sensibilities of Jihadis, Marxists, Anarchists and Anti Semites with varying degrees of mental illness the Palestine Industry was created. You can now thinly mask your self righteous Jew hatred with code words like zionist, neocon, racist and the classic Jew/ Nazi comparison cliche. There are even Jews themselves that owe their entire celebrity to the Palestine industry. Some of them even praise Marx, endorse drug use and don't know the first thing about the religion. However, their role is to say as a Jew I am outraged by whatever. When is the last time you saw the folks at CAIR say as a Muslim I am offended by butchering the Fogel family in Ciold Blood or just come out and say without word games 9-11 was a crime against humanity. The folks at the CIP do not mince words about pointless bloodshed.

Actually, I encourage you to look at websites that obsess about Palestine and see what they say to actual indigenous people like Kurds, American Indians and Tibetians. Hold your breath waiting for them to say a bad word about Syria or Saddam before it became fashionable. If you find a nut on the site railing about Jewish Bolsheviks that is the odd open Nazi. Leave it to Commies who actually allied with Nazis and are synomous with treason in the USA to ponder about odd links between Zionists and Nazis or call people Israel firsters.

Okay so you don't like the idea of the Nation of Brooklyn. How about Jewish Guyana well Jewish Guyana is located.............

Beamish in 12

Ease up on the Saints this low class behavior goes back directly to Buddy Ryan.Whatever else Lawrence Taylor did one can vividly remember his reaction when he broke Thiesmans leg. One can read about the feelings of Ken Norton ending the carrer of Napoleon McCalum and the current Giants have a player who had serious mental anguish and lost his job with Denver in a serious injury situation. Bill Walsh's 49ners were widely known for cheap shot artist offensive linemen and Bill Romanowski. The Eagles Andre Waters could easily be the lowest person to ever play in the NFL.

You can't teach class.  The current Saints don't have class. The Jets don't have class. The Cowboys have to go back to Tom Landry for class. The Eagles have to go back to Dick Vermiel and the Redskins have to go back to Joe Gibbs.

Winning isn't everything. I would sooner lose with Joe Gibbs, Dick Vermeil or even Bill Parcells than win by trying to cripple someone. I like hard hitting defense but purposely trying to injure someone and cheap shots
and cheating via steroids or spying is not for me.
