TOnight RIght Will Be Wrong

best health care in world right (wing)? 

terrific. let;s see what happens

• when a semi segregationist like Rand Paul (nice name) wins a national office. Strom Thurmond resurrected (he is dead right?)
• how much the media will spout endlessly about the Tea party kicking ass (which is o.k, but the coverage of Obama in 2008 was liberal biased media im sure), even though the Democrats were close to winning the Senate by 9:30 pm Eastern time
• i wonder when everyone will realize that the Tea partiers are more affluent  than the average American and it may be that they just  want lower taxes for themselves, and couldn't  care less about less government when the gays become discriminated against or when they themselves  want the Constitutional right of freedom of religion abolished for Muslims 
• again we'll "see" how much the problems now have nothing to do with Bush and everything to do with Obama. oh i left (left!) out Clinton, everything bad now is his fault too. 
• when we again ignore facts like the ones that support state supported health care in Europe being  better than our "best system in America" that ranks 35th in the World Health Organization's rankings

How to Make Women do ANYTHING: Make it "In Style"

this'll look great when she's old

you all know it's true. women will do anything if it's fashionable 

• remember when every one of them wore bell bottoms twice within about a quarter century! 
• now it's trendy  to de- forest your  puss  so much  that they look pre pubescent, which fortunately im into just kidding
• i remember when the only time you'd see or hear the word vagina was in a high school health book, then for a while, starting with that goddamn play that every famous chick had to put herself in,, you heard the friggin word in every sentence! killed the fun out of a highfalutin   dirty talk word
• they'll spend hundreds, thousands! on hand bags, jeans, all sorts of accessories 
• they'll dump a guy they "love" if he isn't keeping up with career, money, even if he can't buy them a nearly invisible non rare rock for her hand
• "ban the fur"  was in fashion, so not as much fur (when too far with banning it down there,  as mentioned above). but who cares about killing  cows, so everyone now has to  wear at least one pair of big leather boots 
• piercing  tongues, eyes,  navels, even clits
• tattoos of who  knows what which'll last forever
• tans that make you look orange and that will age your skin more than anything, literally

but it's all "in style" so you should mindlessly do it like cows to the slaughterhouse (literally) since   some idiot celebrity does it  or because Calvin Klein said so! 

again, they'll do anything trendy. so somehow we have to all conform and make 2 girl heterosexual 3 -somes in style (wink) 

U.S. Foreign Policy's Infinity Loop

mission accomplished

presidents come and go, parties go to and from power,  times change, as do enemies and allies (see Saddam Hussein). some American policy seems to be perennial: 

• peace talks in middle east, Israelis, Palestinians etc. always attempted,  never successful  long term. wish it was  
• 'we'll get off our dependence on foreign oil". i think this one has been reiterated since Nixon
• America will  hold on to the world's largest nuclear weapon supply and then lead the chant  against any of their enemies (not their allies, no matter how militant: Pakistan, India, Israel,)  that even begin to make any kind of nuclear fuel
•  in the fashion of 1984 (Orwell and Reagan's) America will have an enemy, usually created by the Republicans and/or the media: Communism, the Soviets  (Reagan: "evil empire"), Japan (economic, 80s-90s), "Axis of Evil", "war on terror",  China (economic, not human rights). at the same time America will hold on to one of the biggest military empires in all times with troops in some 150 nations
• war is peace: preaching peace, delivering war: over 369 000 troops abroad, preemptive strikes, world's  largest arms supplier? and above actions.  
• Americans love a winner, including  war: we'll almost always  win short term, often lose long term (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan)

When You're Right (wing), You're Right!

middle of the road!

when the left protests, they're "unamerican"," unpatriotic", "fanatics"
when the right protests, they're "Americans exercising their freedom of speech", "frugal", "disappointed"


when there was bad news  in the 2000s, it was mainly Bill Clinton's fault
when bad news happens in the 2010s, it's mainly Obama's fault. 
 the right gives something like  AMNESTY  to the Bushes.


when the left want to have universal health care, they're "socialist", "big government"
when the right wants to make  abortion illegal  even for rape victims, they have "family values", "honor the sanctity of life" 


when the left increases taxes for the rich, balances the budget, stay relatively peaceful, govern over prosperity, they're "tax and spend democrats," "weak on foreign policy".
when the right wages 2 endless and illegal wars, lessens taxes for the rich, increase the deficit by unbelievable amounts, increase the amount of poor and uninsured, they're "patriots",  "real Americans", "strong on defense", "fiscally responsible" (!!!). 


and Republicans are going  to win seats back this Nov? 

Is Staten Island too Close to New Jersey?

great, cheap view

•  it is of course literally close to Jersey
• aren't a majority  of those Jersey shore geniuses really from Staten Island?
• wasn't the Real World with maybe  the most champs  (saying a lot) the one that took place in Staten island? (have to say: thanks for the  brain tobacco MTV  producers!)
• NJ-like  inferiority complex: S.I was disproportionately big on hte subway maps that were used  for around 10 years (the whole island has i think one subway line. Manhattan has the most of course and it was relatively small). the recent new maps have put S.I smaller, appropriately (on a subway map, and it's by far the smallest borough in population)

and now some old time NY stereotypes in the mix: 

• recent immigrant beatings
• a mosque has been rejected in one of their neighborhoods after outspoken and public  bigotry against it. also the Catholic diocese that owned the land/building reneged on their deal (how many molestation accusations have been brought against imams  lately?)

yeah it seems rough. however as a tour guide i used to try to express the good places  of all the boroughs, for instance S.I: Museum of Tibetan art, zoo, botanical garden, Ferry of course. but i would love the bigotry, ignorance,  idiocy to stop. come on folks, the largest garbage dump in the world closes and this is what takes its place? 

Is the American RRR (Reactionary Radical Right) becoming too Mainstream?

o.gs: old gangster organized crime:   torture, black sites, extraordinary renditions, the highest office in the land  ignoring the highest law of the land, illegal war, crapping  on habeous corpus,  most Americans not giving a shit how many tens of thousands of innocents are killed by our military and government (support the troops!). that's was off the top of my head.

Right (wing)  and Might gives them  the Right?:

• the second largest worldwide religion being run out of one of the most diverse cities in America because of clear and present bigotry
• the Tea party, which is supposed to be more educated and affluent than the "average American", has 30 percent  of it's membership believing that the president is foreign born, clearly because he's black
• even the NY Times is running a front page article on a radical anti Islamic book burning preacher
• most Americans not giving a shit how many tens of thousands of innocents are killed by our military and government (support the troops!). 
• the defense, in public Congressional hearings, of BP by, surprise, a Republican Texas Congressman (probably with oil ties). 
• more don't mess with Tex: history being written by politicians instead of historians, 

i know that we still have high unemployment, trouble in other lands, differences, problems. but we can't have the extremists take such a mainstream position. that leads to even more danger: McCarthyism, internment camps, more war crimes, more war. 

wasn't it Bush himself that said that he couldn't believe he beat prosperity and peace in 2000, and then systematically and unbelievably destroyed so much of it? 

Ignorance: NY versus Iowa

SMELL: now i was in Iowa at the time when times were pretty tough in NYC, there was a good amount of pissing at the subways etc. so the city had a national reputation of reek. but i don't think any of the city stink compared to Iowa: the state had and maybe still has about 350 percent more pigs than humans. so even in a pretty sophisticated university town like Iowa city, the pig shit smell at times was overpowering. i was actually there at around the time that Mad Max Beyond Thunder dome came out, where Thunder dome was literally powered by pig crap. wonder if it was the same deal in Iowa.

HICKS: everyone in NY would put me down for going to Iowa: it would be loaded with Midwestern hillbillies, corn fields, blah blah bullshit. . the geniuses ripping on me? mainly teenagers that were going to upstate NY schools in metropolises like Fredonia, Oneonta, Oswego. "half a horse towns" as my brother would say.

CULTURE SHOCK: other super brains would tell me what a culture shock it would be going to Iowa. bullshit. it was Midwestern, maybe on-average more laid back, but not a big jolt. the shock actually was always when i went back to NY: the urban life, city cultures, the guidos in my home town. always kind of surprised me more when i came back. must be why so many idiots in America love shit like Jersey shore. for the record, i liked Iowa, but prefer it in NY.

Trash Piles up in all Colors

i've lived in a few highly ethnic neighborhoods now: Greek (from Greece), Mexican, refugees, black, white. worked with many different groups too: Arab (from mid east), Italian, gay, hippies, Irish, poor, mid class.

and what i say above is true: no group is all bad, every single member, and no group is immune from awful members. there's white trash, black, Arab, etc. every group has it.

when we all realize this and see individual behavior as individual, and not representative of the entire group, then we will be less bigoted.

the Actual American Socialists

it's interesting that there are those who are benefiting from so called 'socialist' fund collectivism, that are paid or receive benefits by taxpayer dollars and the state:

• the elderly


• the military


• police and fire departments

interestingly, these are groups that have majorities that are right wing, conservative, against big taxes, 'socialist' health care and the such.

i myself don't have a problem with them receiving for the most part. and anyone trying to take any of their benefits away causes huge uproars.

but then let's look at the 45 million uninsured Americans, the great majority of whom are employed, and give them even a moderate bill of help with insurance that doesn't even include the public option.

suddenly the government is becoming a 'marxist/fascist/nazi' etc regime! too much pork! we got our government taxpayer funded benefits but other working Americans who also pay taxes, help the economy, society etc can't have any!

also interesting that the teachers, educators are also paid by the state, but seem to have more left wing majorities than the above groups. they're also more educated than the above groups on average. how interesting
