Wanderlust

A few fellow officers joke about the careerism journeys we take. The most ambitious of us go around the globe to advance their careers. A friend with unlimited potential
decided to move to the Midwest with a girl from Vermont and build a life. We spoke of that Wanderlust that drives officers to go to every hot spot.

I volunteered for Katrina and was a candidate to go abroad. I sought to be on the front lines. I wasn't pulled by the career so much as for the sake of adventure. For me
it was another exciting chapter in a long book.

I have lost the need to be at the front and the pining for adventure. I have no need to
be larger than life moving from challenge to challenge. I am not John Wayne or any other archetype. I am a flesh and blood man and my place is near my beloved sunbeam and my family. Let the younger officers follow their wanderlust. True love is greater than wanderlust.

Terrorist pathology

We all live with the image of the last attack as the new model. What we know about terrorism is that they thrive on uncertainty. We can not predict their new modes, but we need to look at what it is.

Extremists of all type cheapen life. There is a reason that such horrible acts are produced by extremists. An extremist is a wasted soul who thinks he posses the key to
the ultimate knowledge. All things are disposable to serve the divine idea. Thus a Communists idea of socialist paradise or a jihadis 72 virgin pipe dream are the escapes from the present reality.

There has been a profound change in my life, it has altered my thinking. I used to think of these extremists as assaulting that which I love and law and order. Now with
the changes in my life I see these foul extremists assaulting humanity and the natural order of life. The natural order is for people to respect life and live for
the loving relationships of soul mates, children, parents, siblings. The natural order is to see the divine truth as an extension of love of life. Junglemom serves with her family as a celebration of a healthy expression of the divine truth. Her family serves the poor not for power but as a calling from the above. Many of our religious readers understand and live this calling.

I think of my relationship with Sunbeam and am reminded of the natural order. It is natural for couples to love each other. I can't even begin to appreciate the sacrafice of military families. There is no greater sacrafice than that of a military
family especially the spouse. There is no greater evil than the love of a mother who
celebrates her son's death.

What sort of sick twisted person needs 72 virgins? A virgin does not know what she is doing and this is an ego trip. It is an impractical teenage arrested development sex
fantasy. A man is only complete when a special person is there sharing his life.

What sort of person needs socialist utopia? A loser who thinks he will create paradise with the empty rhetoric of long dead fools. Utopia does not exist and it is a fools dream and the despots tool. The empty words are usually said by sick twisted
types who deceive in order to get power. When was the last time you heard a commie talk of healthy love of anything or a respect for life. Kulaks, class enemies are mere human cattle or acceptable losses en route to power.

There are times men who are well adjusted have to kill. Such men serve to protect their country they love to protect their families and yours. They do not serve for 72
virgins, they do not dream of utopia, they do not do it for the pay they serve out of duty and love of country. Their dreams are of returning home to loved ones.

We can not predict if the next attack will be like 9-11, Madrid, Bali and so forth. More than likely terrorists will test the new administration and we will get hit again. We need to respond quickly and decisively and never forget the difference between us and them.

Coming Attractions

I will be going to the book stores to purchase Stealth Jihad. I will try to do some reading and review the book at a future time.

The new person in my life will be referred to as sunbeam. She brings warmth and humanity into my life. I consider myself to be blessed and very lucky. She understands
the subtle art of being a woman and I listen to her wise consul. Suddenly, I want to use some of my vacation time to spend the day in her company.

I am going to try and call AOW's show as today's guest is Warren.

I am one of those people who is naturally funny without trying. Last week I interviewed
a family and had to send the wife upstairs to pay the penalty fee. I started the interview without her and got a phone call from the officer at the front desk that she had returned. I stopped the interview and said "Pardon me I have to pick up your wife".
The entire room burst into laughter at my expense.

Pretending the problem doesn't exist

Part of our problem with understanding Islam is the monopoly of egghead policy wonks
and University clowns. All of the above are fed a diet of Marx, Marcuse, Fannon and Chomsky and their maleducation often leads to a Mickey Mouse version of what Islam is and its history.

The current mantra of blaming all the regions violence of Israel is laughable given the
nature of the regions problems. The Marxist types have a myopia when it comes to the history of Islam and its treatment of minorities. This cartoon vision is politically convenient for the promotion of the grand alliance of nihilistic power mad Marxist and their bug eyed crazed Jihadi allies.

The terror attack in Mumbai should come as no surprise to any of us. The crazed cowardly killers view human life as worthless and kill civilians by design.

You will see no apologies for such barbarism from Stephen Schwartz of the Center for Islamic Pluralism. Schwartz is a Sufi and an American Patriot and as such his viewpoints on the gratuitous waste of life would be the same as our own. Sufism in short is largely a mystical spiritual expression of Islam. It has more or less an internal debate about the larger questions of life and as such tends to be tolerant
towards other faiths.

There is no excuse for the terror in Mumbai.

Beakerkin reviews Australia

Word to the Duck. My boycott of Hollywood did not last long due to altered priorities.

Films are best reviewed when not in the company of a romantic interest. However, I did manage to observe enough of the film to say it was a decent film. Nicole Kidman is a total bore who is wooden and not very interesting. Her alleged love scenes are a labor to watch.

The film is very good despite hackneyed writing. The Wizard of Oz references were corny and cliche. The film does a wonderful job displaying the landscape of Australia. The standard cliches about the all wise aborigine and the evil colonists are there. The film does touch on the terrible treatment of the mixed race children that ended in 1973.

This is not a classic film in any description. It does manage to be enjoyable in spite of itself.

The rest of the evening went well. The company was magnificent and I am a very lucky
person. If the right person talks then you need to listen.

Just when you thought......

Many of us stumble through the mundane tasks that make up our life. There is always the next task or challenge. We go through a series of obstacles ups downs fail and overcome. You change a series of unknowns into the known and been there and done that.

Suddenly, I am not tired anymore. A gentle breeze is behind me.

The tasks do not seem as vital and the chores do not seem endless. They are a means to an end, but not my life.

Take a few minutes and enjoy a sun beam.

We aren't here for ever.

Never be so certain that you know what is on the next page ........

Thanksgiving

I want to talk of family, friends and lovers.

On Thanksgiving it is time to look about and around at all those who bring joy into our lives. Naturally, we look at our family and most of us should be thankful for them even if they are less than perfect. There are those without families and with truly dysfunctional families, so be easy on your own.

I am thankful to all of you out there. You are like an extended family and I enjoy the time we share together. I could not ask for a finer group of friends and consider myself lucky. To list all of you by name would be endless and most of you know who you are.

I talk lastly of those of us who are blessed with that special person in your life. They are not perfect but we love them as they are and sometimes in spite of who they are. The moments are never enough and they bring joy into our lives. In the end, it is this that makes days special. To that special person in my life I thank you more
than words can ever express.

Feeling Goooooooood

I am ready and fired up to go to work having apparently traded food poisoning for a more manageable head cold. Part of being an officer is answering the call of duty.

I do not look forward to going to work today as I expect some difficulties from the recent changes in my life. People will have to learn my priorities have changed and being a good friend does not mean servitude.

Midway through the day I should be the recipient of pouting followed by guilt. I would sooner take a two by four to the head than have a woman do the former. I am certain if Justin is reading this he is probably laughing me.

Do any of you other guys have to deal with this?

Around the NFL

The Giants played a decent game without Jacobs and Burress. A monster game by Hixon saved them. Don't look but Boss has more TD's than Shockey.

The Cowboys are back, but do not get to excited with a win over the Niners.The Chargers are dead and whoever hired Norv Turner should get a cyber wedgie. The Eagles are dead and Reid looks to be DOA.

Arizona may not be so bad in a bad weather game as assumed because it has big receivers. Tennessee looked over matched against the Jets.

Washington has corrected the ship. I look for Washington to play a similar version of the game played by Arizona against the Giants. Portis will be a big factor if he runs well the Redskins have a chance.

If I am Bill Cowher the following jobs will be open Det, StL, SD, KC, Phil, Sea, and Cin. I take San Diego as the easiest turnaround. Spagnulo likely gets his choice and may end up in Phil. If I am the Lions I do whatever it takes to land Schottenheimer.
He has multiple draft picks and builds a smash mouth team.

The human side of all of us

I was sitting in the office with some gung ho officers and I am not alone in my reluctance to drop the hammer. All of us walk this line at work as for the most part we are dealing with decent people chasing their dreams. Crushing those dreams is not something a human wishes or desires to do. Kicking out criminals is an entirely different matter for which I would even don steel toed boots.

Those of you I talk with off line know the new challenges that lie ahead. The joy of our days is the unknown that lurks around the corner. How I respond to these new developments remains unknown. Other than the nasty food poisoning I feel better than I have been in years. There is more to life than dedication to work, reading piles of never ending books and swatting Communists. A breath of fresh air has entered my life and it is far better than I deserve.

I would not expect the readers to see a gentler kinder Beakerkin. You may see some Beakerkin about the town posts as I will be spending more time enjoying life and less
time reading obscure titles.

The Hammer Drops

Obama has promised to create jobs by building infrastructure. The idea has limited viability because these trades often employ illegal aliens as subcontractors. Of course
we could get good jobs by drilling for oil in the USA but that would upset the green/red Obama base.

This sounds like more hot air and smoke.

Very Stupid

I take the job very seriously, perhaps too seriously. I use Friday to solve old cases and these families are counting on and expecting me.

I got sent to the aid station with 101. The blood pressure was excellent 111 over 70 but I am constantly thirsty. I am on liquids for the next 48 hours and confined to bed.

Those I talk with off line should be expecting some interesting developments.

Very Ill

Food poisoning

Obama improves NY

If Hillary accepts the position as Secretary of State NY will finally have two senators again. Hillary has done next to nothing for NY in the senate, other than promote herself. Hopefully they will sell the house in Chapaqua and leave NY. Hopefully, we will be spared another stunt like Barbara Striesand running for Senate.

It is best to keep your enemies where you can watch them.

Whoever is advising Obama is quite shrewd. This was a brilliant move as the Clintonistas were potentially dangerous foes.

Open Thread on Gays an interview for all readers of this blog who are not banned

I want to understand how the Average American feels about Gays. Perhaps my life as a New York City resident who spent time in the fashion industry has led me to a different
perspective. In my book it has always been a private matter of little or no consequence. I am puzzled at the extreme hatred of gays and of some gays for Christians
who see a more originalist view of sin.

I am going to try something new. I will do a ten question mass interview. I will answer
the questions first and would like readers to do the same. I request that communists with hold their comments until later, AFLAC.

1) Should gays be treated with dignity and respect barring other information?
Yes

2) Do you favor gay marriages?
No marriage is a religious term. I favor civil unions as a practical alternative.

3) Is homosexuality a private matter?
Yes

4) What does a persons sexual orientation say about them?
Not much

5) If your neighbor is gay how does it affect you?
It doesn't

6) Do some gays hate Christians?
Absolutely

7) Would you eat lunch in a public restaurant with a gay friend?
Yes. I have done so several times.

8) If you accidentally found yourself in a gay bar what would you do?
Probably finnish my beer and leave. This is unless the bar was playing Barbara Striesand, Abba or Bette Midler music and then I would run.

9) Do you feel that the mass media portrays gays in an almost missionary manner?
Yes. The Ellen show was a bore. The Will and Grace show had excellent writing with characters who happened to be gay. The show dealt with issues but didn't take itself to seriously. Will and Grace is the exception and the rest seems ham handed.

10) Would you listen to musicians that you knew were gay?
I have listened to Queen, but not the Village People. I don't care for disco music.

11) Would vote for a politician you knew was gay but you agreed with?
Yes

12) Do we make too big of an issue over a private matter?
Yes

Lets see your responses.

More NFL notes

The Giants demolished the Ravens and face a Arizona on the road. Warner is a great QB
but he does fumble when hit. The evil Cowboys won the game with defense. They have mortgaged their future on Roy Williams and the gap between the Giants and the Cowboys will grow greater. The Eagles hit rock bottom and need to think about next year.

The Jets will play the Titans next week. The three key performers will be Jenkins, Haynesworth and Farve. The Jets are quietly getting good play from their TE. The game will boil down to Farve vs Colins and Farve has a better supporting cast.

Turn out the lights in Detroit, KC, Oakland and St Louis. Sadly Edwards has some type of plan and given a year or two he would have built something special. The next coach will get credit for his sacrafice.

The Dophins have over achieved and have shown what superior coaching can do. Atlanta
is playing over its head but is improved.

The most under rated team is still Carolina.

Norv Turner, Wade Phillips and Del Rio need to face the Axe.

Onto MLB

No pitcher should ever get a contract longer than three years.

Prince Fielder gets traded to a big market club and makes himself hated.His father was loved by the media and fans until he left NY.

Temper Tantrums

There have been strong protests from the gay community over set backs on election day.These protest actually have a negative impact as the loudest most irresponsible voices usually play for the camera. It is very easy to throw a temper tantrum, but ultimately it gets one nowhere. Results are made by building bridges with responsible people, but the process is long and slow.

I am and will remain opposed to gay marriage. My opposition is based on the fact that marriage still remains a religious term. I favor civil unions as a practical solution to a fight that is pointless and inane.

Gays should be able to live with dignity. Needless fights over jargon do not suit anyone.

No doubt the bird brained Duck will be by with his standard rants. However, the actual record of communist countries on the subject of gay rights has been historically poor. Muslim countries have poor records in this area as well, but the bird brained poultry sees no evil.

AFLAC


In other news spineless Rowan Williams recently praised Marx. This should come as no surprise given his prior sophomoric statements on a variety of subjects. His leadership has been a disaster and a split in the Anglican Church looms on the horizon.

Jewish Role in the Armenian Genocide

It seems like the usual bigots have worked on overtime for this bit of insanity. The charge is that the young Turks namely Kemal Attaturk was a descendant of Shabetai Zvi.

The charge is baseless and in insult to people capable of coherent thought.

Do people blame the Chinese for the actions of Mao? Do people blame Georgians for the actions of Stalin?

The mental gymnastics of rabid anti Semites never ceases to amaze me.

The Bolshevik Media CTD

Joe the plumber is and remains a private citizen whose life was placed under a microscope. As a private citizen publication about details of his life remain a crime.
Government information is only provided on an as need to know basis. This invasion of privacy needs to be addressed and the employees responsible terminated. I do believe the story of one such source who was directed by her boss to do a search.

While Joe the Plumber has had his entire life turned upside down we are left with scores of questions about Obama.

Where are his college transcripts? We have heard the left deride George Bush as a chimp but his grades indicate otherwise. In fact his grades were better than Gomer Kerry who is not ever abused in such a manner. Obviously comparing Obama to a chimp
would have odious racial over tones, so I will compare him to a house plant. If his grades were stellar he would have released them.

Where is Obama's birth certificate? This is not a major deal except that it is a prerequisite for the job. I am not one prone to conspiracies but as it is a job requirement it should have been presented.

Trying to placate the Clintons

Obama is working 24/7 to try and bring as many functional adults into his administration to reassure the markets. The Daily Konstipation crowd and the professional anti-semitic Marxist may get a Malley or two but that is it.

Obama knows that if he places Code Pinko clowns in public places they will be a cancer
and guarantee a one term disaster. The best Obama can do to survive is to blunt his Marxist roots and try to govern center left.

The Markets are buying this act. Stay tuned......

The New York junior varsity squad defeated the football team from the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. Despite being coached by the greatest coach in the league there is but so much managerial excellence can cover up. Do not send out the funeral wreaths for the Patriots just yet.
