"Tea Party Nazi Runs for Congress"


















Tea Party nut, and nazi fetish fan Rich Lott runs for Congress this term. Like he sez he only dresses up on the weekends. No harm in that.

Btw, speaking of blind faith I just posted some stuff on my "Angel Dreams" blog. ...see link. This after mostly nothing all summer.



"Brooklyn Hell!"












Clearly another sign that the End is near. Well that or just more weird weather. Okay it ain't the first snow, but ya has to work with what ya got.

(Drunken, rowdy young hoodlums enjoy massive Brooklyn hail storm.)



Actually now that I notice again this looks like a "Soap Suds Storm'. Given what's gone down around here so far such a thing would 'not' be a surprise.

"First Snow"













Snowshoe West Virginia just had the first snow of the East Coast 2010 fall/winter season. I'm a snow fan so this perks me up. There was snow in the Mountain States last week, but 'this one' is driving distance from the Emerald City,..aka New York.

So I'm hoping, despite that it was 72f today, I'm wishing for local snow! After all what with tornado's, and other new regional weather events thanks to planetary heating maybe we'll also get an early frost/snow.

It's been a few decades since we had an October snow here in town.

The earliest major event was a blizzard,..okay a semi-blizzard, the night before Thanksgiving Day in 1990. We had the Macy's Holiday giant balloon Parade anyway. Hey we're New Yorkers,..bleep the weather.

"Let it Snow!"

"President Santa"




President Santa or Father Christmas, etc. That's who I thought I was voting for. Well that or maybe President Batman. You gets the picture. The problem is he turned out to be just a guy. A good guy, and maybe the best Boss we've had in some decades, but not President Iron man.

Pity.

We forgot that this 'is' a Republic, and that we were not electing an Emperor. I think the lot of us put all of our hopes, and dreams for a better world on Obama. I sure did. Thing is he was saying all along that he was only human, and there was a limited number things he could do if he was elected.

I know because thanks to Youtube I've been re-watching his speeches. In one he confided that we must be "patient". That it would take more than "one or even two terms" to correct, repair the damage. He said it could take "decades".

He said the "D" word.













Of course we were all so 'blissed' out in Obamamania we didn't hear it. After years of either inertia or outright villainy at the highest levels along comes this amazing person. So it was starry eyed love at first sight!

Though now we must face the grey morning after realities. We once again must go neck deep into the trench warfare of slow politics. Slugging it out with the entrenched minions of the "Wall Street Oligarch of Atomic Plunderers!"

('...make a weird t-shirt.)

Not exactly the joyous entry of the generations delayed Age of Aquarius. Still as my comrades remind me both here, and in "real" life, "...it's better than nothing."













Not saying he's nothing it's just that we wanted 'so much' right away.

This country had been in the hands of men that had only their own self interest, and that of their class at heart.

So we expected 'immediate' miracles once they were sent packing.

Obama being elected, and the rejoicing both here, and around the world was historic. I can remember no election night with the kind of celebrations as greeted Mr. Obama.













It was new years eve from coast to coast, and around the world I vividly remember fire works, and ships in the harbor blowing their horns. People in the street celebrating even in my, then temporary, otherwise quiet 'hood.

(I left homelessness on the day Obama took office, a swell omen I thought then.)

That night, *(election night,..apparently now forgotten), was a once in a lifetime event. Like Woodstock or the Moon Landing,..and Yeah We Went to the Bleeping Moon fer Christ's sakes!!

*(America is a nation without a long term Memory.)

So given all that we expected the Golden Age to start the next morning,...we're still waiting. Perhaps it's time to get realistic again. This is a 'long term' process like everything else in the political world.

I guess all I can say is we have to keep the faith.

Keep the faith, and work like hell to prevent the darkness from descending on us again.

Stay Tuned.

"The Worst Candy In History"















Not since "New Coke" has the junk food empire got it so wrong. The pretzel M&M's taste, and look, on the inside, like sawdust candy. Some comrades, and I had the misfortune of consuming this crap.

One is left with the dry taste of powdered wood chips, industrial glue, unconvincing flavorings, and a minor headache after eating this swell stuff.

The mafia vending machine company stuffed our junk food dispenser with tons of this roach motel fodder. That along with various brands of embalmed cookies.

Alright this mutation won't kill ya, probably, but it sure ain't the refreshing sugar rush you were looking for.

It's projected to be among the 10 'worst' Halloween candies for 2010. (...not counting the traditional apples embedded with razor sharp metal bits, candied meats, and Canadian pennies.)

These maniacs must have made billions of metric tons of this awful stuff, and intend to unload the lot on an unsuspecting public.

Beware you out in the world,..it's coming. Be afraid, be very afraid.

(Even their cute official spokes-digitoons have doubts about this evil marriage of unlikely ingredients.)



...I blame Obama.
