Yes, I do have Dvorak playing. I have always loved the 'New World Symphony,' and this is a good day in which to play it through. What is going on out there, just beyond the thin, but well insulated, walls of my Wisconsin residence? My tree is gone, as are all the decorations, except for the 'Advent Trees,' which still burn, up atop my back hill. Winter has set in for it's long gray run, with ice crystals and snow being blown all about. One winter storm advisory follows another, scrolling across the bottom of my television screen. I note that CNN has dropped this obnoxious feature (the bottom scroll) while ABC has picked it up to run in spades. Somebody is going to design a television set that allows the operator (that would be me) to control what happens on the screen. I don't want any of those little ads in the corner anymore, or appearing mid-way through a movie almost anywhere on the screen. And I don't want any scrolling anywhere at any time. If it is that important, then just break into the programming. They used to do that all the time, and it was okay. Life's little bothersome nettles (unless you have ever been stung by a nettle bush, in which case the experience was anything but merely 'bothersome').
The Chicago Tribune. They are back at their whacked-out neocon conservative presentation. They took a break for awhile, once they read the Obama writing on the wall. Now, they have regrouped. They will try to find a new leader, as Cheney finally begins to fade from the radar screen and his big mouthed, drug-addled 'voice of America' Rush Limbaugh fades, as well. This morning they editorialized about how General Motors has really had much success under this new leadership they have. They have busted the unions. They have pioneered new ion battery technology. Oh please. Once again we get the mantra. The American auto worker. That grasping, selfish, self-absorbed and lazy beer-drinking auto worker needs to be quashed back into serfdom. Then the cost of cars will plummet nearly five thousand dollars a car! That is actually the figure that they used. Where did that come from? Their evil imagination. Two thousand dollars a car has been the highly touted figure of the industry, but now we have gone up a bit. And General Motors has done exactly squat when it comes to battery technology. They are using the new ion batteries. They are not inventing them. Welcome aboard to the new millenium GM! Tesla, the new auto company out in Silicone Valley is using the new batteries, as well, and to much more effect. As usual, the Tribune has everything upside down. The guys who need to go are the leaders of the GM. Out, every one. If the Trib thinks that Toyota is doing so great, and they do, in spite of the fact that Toyota is losing it's collective butt right now too, then fine, hire away the leaders of Toyota. Those guys are all for sale. And note that there are no women. Just aging, fat white guys who all have, amazingly, Republican hair cuts.
Writing of women. Caroline got the nod. What a shock. Was there even one other candidate considered? Not on my television. Never even saw another candidate's name scrolled across the bottom of my screen. And neither did you. As I wrote earlier, the system we have set in place is responsive only to 'star' power. If you have it, you are in. If you don't, you are not. And you are not getting in, either. It is a very small fraternity/sorority and it is kept that way on purpose. It is sociobiology. It is about the care, keeping and survival of progeny. Yes, nepotism. Look at Anderson Cooper. He is the perfect example, and I love to pick on the little gay blade anyway. His Mom is a Vanderbuilt! How did he get his anchor job? Why don't you just sit there and think about it. That he is rotten as an anchor is beyond question, but he just keeps on trucking. Like Conan on that late night show. And Caroline. I do not like picking on her, however. She can sit in that Senate seat. Who cares. I like her. She still looks hurt, after all these years. She has never had any tough life-experience with which to combat what happened to her as a child. She did not pray for strength, and have God answer those prayers (God gives you gobs of trouble when you say those prayers, so that you will grow strong in solving them). So she can retire to the Senate. They don't do anything anymore anyway, other than parcel out money to people back home they like, or who are somehow attached to their families.
My favorite son, Governor Rod, is at it again. Following my instructions to him on this blogsite, he is not giving up. He understands that his fight for survival is vital to keeping all of our attention away from this awful economy. He is our new Paris Hilton, without the legs or sex tapes. Where was this man's mind prior to his current problems? He conducted himself like a Bush-clone ninny during most of his serving years, but now he has arisen...making one brilliant move after another. He began with his 'Checkers' speech a few weeks back, then moved to ignore Fitzgerald and his Federal Gestapo Force. He then appoints this Senator. A wonderful man from the projects, and black, as well! The Senate does not want to seat the guy, of course, but what can they do? The governor is legally entitled and that is it! Go ahead, read the documents. There is nothing in any of them that says anything about indicted governors. Madigan can twist and turn all she wants (the attorney general in Illinois) but there is not one whit of legal paper to support her in stopping the appointment. And isn't it funny. All the people who want to stop this appointment are candidates for the job themselves, in one way or another! Pay attention people. Governor Rod is entertaining the hell out of us and making some brilliant moves. Let us study those moves, like Sunday afternoon football tactics. Brett Favre may have tanked, but we have Governor Rod.
it is a good day, in this awakening new world....as the music plays on....
