Quit my day job? Whatever, that doesn't even make any sense. Wasn't planning on it.

Stone Butch Blues:

Published in 1993, this brave, original novel is considered to be the finest account ever written of the complexities of a transgendered existence.Woman or man? Thats the question that rages like a storm around Jess Goldberg, clouding her life and her identity. Growing up differently gendered in a blue--collar town in the 1950s, coming out as a butch in the bars and factories of the prefeminist 60s, deciding to pass as a man in order to survive when she is left without work or a community in the early 70s. This powerful, provocative and deeply moving novel sees Jess coming full circle, she learns to accept the complexities of being a transgendered person in a world demanding simple explanations: a he-she emerging whole, weathering the turbulence.

Sounds like a story of inspiration and strength against the status quo and traditional power centers of society, something Newt would not have a clue about.

I love Detroit. As I have said before. Maybe that is where I dreamed I was. It seemed like a Mayan temple city carved out of a mountain. A city of beautifully carved caves with running water on the floor like a stream running through maze like passages. Is it Detroit of a hundred years from now. Water rich with massive clean nuclear energy. It was a very good place. There were no people but it was very humane. The black dude driving the golf cart type thing at the Detroit airport when I was a kid must have been somewhere.

Detroit,
city of dreams, city of heart and hope.
Filled with people who care, laugh and cry,
where the word love is something more than a thought.
This is the past and future colliding,
where no Newts dare tread.
Golf carts and Chevy's,
airports to the self,
a jukebox joint,
oh, yeah ...
Detroit

The folks who gave us Obama are freaking out realizing that Newt will be their president. His campaign slogan is "Can you really stand four more years of this?" You got to love it. Here he is at Tommy's Country Ham House..

This Ham House will likely be a recurring theme on this topic throughout the next 12 months. And here is a video outlining our presidential choices:

I think I was the only one here defending Obama in how he did Bin Ladin. I would have advised him to do exactly what he did except maybe admit the truth about it a little more.

Such a good photo, Kali. Tells a story... or many stories, maybe.

This was the first time I have gone back to the Unitarian church since I was 12.. The six of us sat around a table and the minister read from a book of Bible commentary about Mary having and enjoying all kinds of sex.. It was all so strange. I had never even heard the Bible or Jesus or Mary mentioned once in all my time in Sunday school or in my time spent around my Unitarian minister grandfather or by my father.. everyone now are converts it seems.

I went again tonight. I was there over an hour and went to the Sunday feast before and after. We sang O Come O Come Emmanuel. So I finally found the tune for the New Vrindavan Nashringadev prayers. Here it is in Latin:

Here is a good anti Newt article by George Will.

It is interesting that the Obama supporters are alarmed and upset that Newt might win the nomination. They think that Obama is so bad that even Newt would win against him. I am not so sure now. And I am not so sure the Republicans are going to nominate Newt. He really is a socialist as much as Obama. George Will says Newt "would have made a marvelous Marxist." He did always remind me of a college professor, one of the reasons I couldn't stand him. Of course after what they did to us and to the world with Obama, Newt is the president the American Left deserve. Its too bad the rest of us will have to be involved and suffer the consequences.

Eventually as the white middle class becomes poorer, the American Left will drop the anti white racist rhetoric and realign themselves even more with the working class. The Left will become chauvinistic and protectionist. Already I see this happening on the ground at the Occupy movement. In the future a chauvinistic and protectionist candidate like Donald Trump will have the support of most of these people. I do hope they do not gain power. I think our best hope is to struggle against the political movements of the obsolete working class of the Republicans and Democrats. I think we need to side with the billionaires and the poor of the world to allow free trade.

I watched that rant a while back. I can understand his frustrations.

What is it with the Israel thing? Why has Israel become such a precious sacred cow for the US political system?

"WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s administration on Monday rejected Republican calls to fire the US ambassador to Belgium after he said that the Middle East conflict was partly to blame for anti-Semitism.

Ambassador Howard Gutman, who is Jewish and the son of a Holocaust survivor, said in a speech that a new type of anti-Semitism has emerged in Europe that is not “classic bigotry” but instead linked to the conflict and hence resolvable..."

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/05/u-s-...mitism-remarks/

The guy didn't say anything that I would take as anti-Israel and the rabid supporters want his head on a plate.

Something is very wrong.....

I think the whole Israeli situation and history is complex and just not easy to explain in any simple terms. There is definitely a lot of passion for those who vehemently support Israel and those who support the Palestinian cause, so much so, that they are not able to sit down and communicate without flaming the fans of passion and history. Perhaps it is the history that makes the US. support for Israel such a sacred cow. WWII and the holocaust was so intense, that it will take a long time to evolve out of the disasters it spawned. Is the US. feeling guilt for it's anti-semitism of that time period which made it not act swiftly to counter and put a faster end to the death camps? Then there is the cold war, and how the Arab nations were primarily funded and armed by the Soviet Union, while the US depended supported Israel and Turkey as a hedge against the Soviet presence in that area. Israel is the closest nation/state in the Middle East that resembles Western democracy, having a shared historical, religious and cultural basis as apposed to that of nations that share Islam. If anything, 9/11 and Fundamentalist Islam seems to have cemented that relationship even deeper. The poor Palestinians have been a pawn in the whole geopolitical game for centuries, even going further than being a British territory, somewhat biblical in proportions. Israel lies in the historic center of Christianity and Islam, with it's fundamentalist seemingly getting more intense every year, then there are the fundamentalist Jews ... so it most likely will always be a hot spot with support from the United States. What do you think is the reason?

Thanks Dhyana, the photo was taken a few years ago when I was searching for the furniture warehouse near the Detroit River waterfront east of the downtown business district, in which I worked my first job while in high school and a year before entering college. The place is gone now, but across the street there still exists the building for the Lauhoff Corp., which is a family owned factory that makes industrial food processing machines for restaurants and food companies. As my wife and I walked around taking photos, this man comes out of the building and asked us if were journalists, which started into a long conversation about the area and the city in general. This man had worked at Lauhoff for over 40 years, going back to when I also worked across the street. Surprisingly, he remembered some the men I worked with, so it was a homecoming of sorts, that and getting his working man's perspective of the city, it's people and history was really compelling. Personal stories from the 60's urban riots to his insights into the white flight from the city to the suburbs, the current hard economics, but most importantly, what was hot in jazz at the local clubs. In many ways, he symbolizes the hard working class ethic of those who live there, which expresses a sense of level headed humanity I feel very fond of.

Did you ever exit the collage or are you still a part of the college?

[Homer]

What do you think is the reason?

Control of the media and the banking system as well as undue influence in the government. O, I am well aware of the cries of anti-Semitism that these accusations bring, but a simple glance at the facts show this to be true.

Remember the USS Liberty...

The Israelis claim that they misidentified the ship!
