Michael Miner, one of the co-screenwriters for RoboCop, comes from the same area of Southwestern Pennsylvania that I do.  In fact, we have a mutual friend.

So one night I pop RoboCop into the VCR to see it for the first time, and imagine my surprise when I find out that Peter Weller plays policeman Alex J. Murphy since my name happens to be Alex J. Tamsula. 

It gets even better.  Across the railroad tracks near my apartment is the site of the old Union Switch and Signal factory. They shot the factory scenes in the movie there before the place was torn down. It's now a shopping plaza.

What can I say?  Stay out of trouble.

Hillary Clinton has the common touch and I don't.  What a sobering realization that was.  Actually I'm not surprised she connects so well with blue-collar voters.  She's gritty.  She understands the issues inside and out; therefore she can convince people that she really does care about their concerns.  I come from a blue-collar family myself and the folks identified with that hue don't even want to hear my take on the Clinton's career of ethical lapses, skating from an irresponsibility here to irresponsibility there, letting some other poor slob take the fall for them.  Remember Les Aspin, Bill Clinton's Secretary of Defense, who fell on his sword because of the Black Hawk Down debacle in Somalia?  Les was forced to resign and six months later he succumbs to a heart attack.  I'm tempted to add him to my list of people whose deaths were remarkably beneficial to the Clintons but the blue-collar folks have no interest in hearing it.

That's not saying blue-collar folks are bad or dumb.  They have issues of survival on their minds and the story I tell is way too fantastic.  (Although not really.  Almost everybody underestimates the Clintons and what they are capable of.  Not me.)  Hillary is very good at shaking hands with workers on an assembly line because there's nothing fantastic about the bread and butter issues.  She's got, "We'll fix that. We'll fix that," down cold.  That's the common touch.  I can't create that 'aura of hope', that Clinton nimbus around Hillary she learned to wear so well from Bill.  I just don't like myself that much if I over-promise and lie through my teeth.

Like Charlie Daniels has said, "A rich man goes to college and a poor man goes to work."  My family wasn't rich, but I managed to go to college because there was one up the road.  What did I study there?  English Literature and Political Science, which probably leaves me fit to practice in only one area - political language.  And that's what I do - I think about Hillary Clinton's use of political language.  The problem is, there isn't much of it I believe. 

My political arguments tend pretty much towards The Salon variety, not the stuff a candidate might hear visiting a shop floor.  Why talk that way if you were smart like Hillary?  She wants your support and if you support her she can be treacly.  If you don't support her she'll want to beat the living shit out of you.  Hillary shaking hands at the plant gate and Hillary in Washington DC are two separate animals.

The blue-collar folks should understand this but the dynamic tension between me and them is clear - I eat this stuff like popcorn and Joe Six Pack can't wait until it's all over.  But just for the sake of argument let's say Joe Six comes up to me and said, "Awright, Kissinger.  Look into your crystal ball and tell me, what are we going to get with under Hillary."

I'd say, "I only have a minor degree in the subject but I'll give it a shot."  So let's take Hillary at her word: 'I'm a fighter.'  What does that mean?  If she's elected President and goes to Washington, eventually she'll deliberately picks fights with the Hannity-Limbaugh contingent in the US Congress.  Suddenly we're back into the same 'Never Give An Inch' games that we've been seeing in Washington since ... well, since Newt Gingrich gave Speaker of The House Jim Wright the boot for 'ethical lapses'.  Unlike Barack Obama, who I believe genuinely wants to reach across the aisle and work with the other Party to make America better, Hillary may only want to create 'issues' which congressional candidates can run on in the 2010 elections.  She did say, 'Your not going to get Universal Health Coverage for two years.'  Gee, just in time for the 2010 elections.
 
"I think her only goal is to clear the House and Senate of as many Republicans as she can and she'll waste the people's business for two years getting that done, demonizing the Republicans, calling them obstructionist.  Who can blame her?  As the leader of The Democratic Party that would be her job.  But who will be her willing participants in this exercise in Politics As Usual?  The Hannity-Limbaugh contingent in The Congress who'll be forced to 'fight fire with fire' one more disheartening time.  All I can say is, they must think we're idiots

Consider this.  Rush Limbaugh has been preaching the gospel of 'those that govern least, govern best,' for the past twenty-five years now?  I used to buy into that until I started seeing our bridges and roadways crumble.  Now I think, hey, we can use a little governance here.  And wasn't Hillary supposed to chair some sub-committee after the I-39 bridge collapse to look into our ailing infrastructure?  I guess she was supposed to ride at pothole covered road right into The White House but that never happened.  Never happened?  When it's all said and done, I hope my blue-collar brethren don't end up saying, about what they were promised, 'Never happened.'"

Hillary Clinton, President.  Rush Limbaugh, America's Anchorman who doesn't accept the fact that yes we can sell electricity back to the electric company.  There's the big stage of American politics for you - and nothing will get done.  But to be fair I should say I do believe Hillary will create jobs - for every political consultant you can stomach pleasing the ultimate Boss From Hell.

But there's plenty to do.  She's got a House and a Senate to clear don't cha know. 

So who or what is an elitist anyhow?

Once again we are presented with another stellar example of Hillary Clinton's 'throw it against the wall, see if it'll stick' style of non-campaigning.  On Monday here in Pittsburgh Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton spoke before The Alliance for American Manufacturing, and during Sen. Clinton's speech she said she was disappointed in Sen. Obama supposed 'elitist' comments about guns and religion.  "I'm sure you are too," she said.

She got jeered for that condescending tone.  Actually she got jeered not necessarily because of the Obama put-down but because once again she's telling other people what they should think.  You know?  And why wouldn't these real-world union folks be offended?  She's trying to browbeat people with a schoolmarm's tone, and isn't brow beating with a schoolmarm's tone the heart of Politically Correct?  "I know better than you, sweetie."  Pardon me while a sit down on a Whoopie Cushion.

The temptation here is to jump all over the irony of The Queen of PC, with her Globalist connections to The Council of Foreign Relations and The Bilderberg Group, accusing ANYBODY of being elitist.  But that's so old hat it really doesn't get anybody anywhere.  The evil genius of team Clinton is they've been spouting such crap for so long, decades, mixing in 'I feel your pain' with 'who can I get away with stabbing in the back and who I can't,' that their artful phoniness has a laminated quality to it.  If you like the Clintons all you see it the smoothness.  If you dislike the Clintons all you see is ... the smoothness. 

Back in Arkansas of course they called Bill Clinton 'Slick Willy' and that should have served as a WARNING WARNING WARNING to the rest of America, but instead it turned into a joke that kept the late night talk show comics rolling in clover.  Eight years of a Bill Clinton administration lulled us into a false sense of security.  Nine month into the Bush administration and boom we get hit with 9/11, an atrocity six years in the planning (or so we're told).  Is there a connection between the Clinton's whirlpool of celebrity and bafflegab and 3000 dead?  If there is, what's so funny about that?

Nothing, and I'm in no mood to press the obvious point: "Look at the elitist calling somebody else an elitist."  That's too easy and considering the genuine rottenness of the Clinton's, it's shallow.  Plus there is a bigger insight to be made about Hillary's remarks before Union Members here in Pittsburgh.  Hillary is a non-thinker telling other people how they should think.  Now how scary is that?

What do I mean by non-thinker?  In my opinion Hillary has never had an original idea in her head her entire life.  She steals ideas from everybody else.  Remember The Clinton's spoof of The Soprano's finale for a campaign ad?  Oh how cutting-edge.  Or how about where the Obama Campaign says, "Yes we can," and the Clinton hacks turn it around into, "Yes she can."  She's even stolen from me.  "Nobody has every compared me to Dick Cheney before."  Oh really?  Then call me The Man With No Name.  Ai ai yaaa.  Wah wah wah.

Which takes us back to the subject line of this blog post:  So who or what is an elitist anyhow?  According to my hand-dandy Webster's New World College Dictionary an elitist is someone, "of, having, or advocating elitism.  One who advocates elitism.  A person who is or who believes himself or herself to be a member of an elite group."

Being a United States Senator is being a member of an elite group, isn't it?  Like I said, a non-thinker telling us what to think.  Who needs MK Ultra when you've got Hillary turning millions of brains into mush.    

Here's a suggetion - during a Hillary Clinton speech, stick you fingers in your ears.  You won't feel the need to jeer.  And when it comes right down to it, isn't that a better way to live? 

Some hinky pizza shop.

Honestly Dave, I think you should expand your focus a little when it comes to covering child trafficking. For example - Jerry Sandusky's The Second Mile nonprofit was probably as egregious as any hinky pizza shop when it came to supplying young boys to well heeled peados, who most likely were 'contributors' to Sandusky's foundation (wink wink). Sandusky maintains his innocense, never copped a plea so he never had to name names. And his son was recently busted for possessing kiddie porn. How's that? I'm from Pennyslvania and believe me, there's a lot to this just under the surface.

Is 13 the new 11?

Readers of my blogs will recall my interest in the subject of crypto fascism, defined loosely as the codes used by crooks to communicate with each other surreptitiously.  There is a division of The FBI devoted to this branch of criminology.  Recently I saw a segment about it on The NBC Nightly News with Brian Willaims.

I'm into the study of numerical crypto fascism as I saw in great abundance on 9/11, the number 11 as a motif and resembling a double slash, so even Flight 77 that crashed into The Pentagon falls into this set.

Well forget about the number 11.  Now look for the number 13 in movies, TV shows, commercials.

I took The McDonald's logo with the line 'I'm loving it' underneath and I rotated the whole unit 45 degrees clockwise.  I don't know but it sure looks like a 13 to me.  (The reason I thought of this is because I actually saw it done in a McDonald's TV ad during a football game.)  The people at McDonald's should give the hairy eyeball to whoever dreamed-up that ad campaign. 

And Oceans 13?  Throw 'em all life preservers.

And if you haven't figured it out yet, please go to Mr. Brian Setzer's CD '13' and check out the thirteenth song, 'The Hennepin Avenue Bridge.'  Personally I find the song astonishing, including the priets who dives in the river at the end the song and goes over the falls laughing.

Then there’s the 1-35 Mississippi River bridge collapse in Minneapolis on August 1, 2007.  You could see The Mississippi River Bridge from The Hennepin Avenue Bridge.

I was such a big fan of his until Thursday.  What a goddamn shame.

Yasir, he loved them kids.

How to make a human bomb?

Now we are ready to see where the individual consciousness images come from.  As you will recall, we found that the presence of melanin in the brain give us a minimum consciousness time interval that agreed with what we had obtained experientially: about 0.04 second.  Now as data flow through the consciousness at a rate of nearly 50 million bits per second, all the data recieved in an interval of time equal to the length of the minimum consciousness time interval will be percieved as part of one image.  We referred to this in Chapter 11 as the consciousness field information capacity, represented by the letter F.  As pointed out in Appendix I, the product of the consciousness data rate, C, and the time interval give us the value F.  The result is 1.9 million bits in a single consciousness image.  That's our mind's TV picture!  This theoretical value for the consciousness field information capacity is almost the same value as the 2 million bit we obtained in Chapter 11 introspectively.

And this, by the way, is why the TV set is the size it is.  The TV set must provide enough picture information at any instant to supply this 2 million bits of information, and it must cycle these pictures 30 time a second to keep pace with the rate at which we consciously experience image.   The Physics of Consciousness.  Evan Harris Walker.  p.247

So my question is, is there a way that images can be beamed directly into somebody's head?  If you could, consider the possibilities.
