Mr. Ex President: Find Something RELEVENT and Mind That

To: “Jimmy” Carter
You appear to think–hope?–most people today don’t remember, have forgotten, weren’t around when you occupied the White House, so you’re trying to remind the world who you are.

Hey, no Alzheimer’s with this author.  When oil-rich countries and companies disliked you and your arrogant policies so much they had a ’sudden’ shortage of oil, I remember: doing assignments for art school in a bloody cold  San Francisco apartment because the creep who owned the building refused to turn on the heat, so he wouldn’t have to pay the insane rate for fuel.

You?  You told Americans:  “put on a sweater, get used to it” –suck it up, during “shortage” of oil.   Friends with cars asked friends to wait in gas lines, and I did, I remember.

When Wall Street loathed you:  interest rate went up ‘a tad’ –Prime Rate was 23%. But most Americans weren’t A-1 borrowers, so people who wanted a loan could only get one:   at Prime PLUS TEN points = 33%. No, I didn’t try to get a loan, I was with the crowds in Financial District bars who laughed at your insane ‘management.’ You?  You lectured us on ’sucking it up.’

When we, the world, especially ALL of us, were reeling from the despicable crimes committed by Tricky Dick, we wanted peace, quiet, no more High crimes -Misdemeanors, burglaries, break-ins.  –No more assaults on the Constitution, the Bill of our Rights and privacy –secret deals –un-elected anybody –we didn’t want any more Republicans.

We, mostly, figured: ‘how bad could a hick bible-thumping peanut farmer be’ –and we gave you a chance.   You got into ‘management,’ we guessed, knew or learned since: by making certain agreements with certain insiders to get the job.  You rewarded us with:  lectures, fist-pounding, arrogance, oil “embargo” –long gas lines –inexperienced unsophisticated aides who knew squat about running government and got caught in embarrassing positions. 

You knew nothing, your former drivers, runners, campaign workers knew even less.  Congress, Americans, anyone who could ignored you –when we couldn’t avoid you.

Did you forget?  –Or did you imagine using people who had spent years and hard-earned money training for once-in-a-lifetime Olympic event:  didn’t mind YOU using them to make a political statement to Russia by preventing those atheletes from participating?

You offered sanctuary –against Knowledgable advice, to murderous diseased Shah under ‘humanitarian, health’ disguise –which, as predicted, incited Iranian rage, riots, revenge –and hostages, American ones.  We watched your bungling and incompetence nightly via the new Ted Koppel ABC program. 

We couldn’t get rid of you Fast enough. If we had Brittain’s form of government: you would have been forced –kicked out after one year.

After you finally were booted from office you busied yourself with your biggest client to your new “PR” venture: Yassir Arafat and the PLO.  Oh, Didn’t think we knew?  We didn’t think you were living just off your pension, and nobody suspected you stooped that low –makes you unique alright.

Meanwhile you spent the next 15 years:  badgering the Nobel Committee to give you the Peace Prize, you ‘justified’ since they awarded it to the leaders of Egypt and Israel and not you, but YOU wanted the ‘credit’ for their work, which cost You nothing, cost them their lives.  Oh well, “Jimmy” never sucks it up.

When the Nobel Committee caved:  You?  –Gratitude –grace?  Naw, you used the award ceremony for an “opportunity” to lecture–and bore–the world.

Has it EVER occurred to you why you’re not included in things domestically or internationally?  Dissed by nearly all, even the Thug of past eight years wouldn’t give you a lift to Rome on Air Force One, as he did with others when the last pope died? Ever thought about why REALLY?

Ignorant –blissfully or for real, you keep barging in where nobody asked you. Desperate to elbow your way onto any talk show:  you get there only by writing drivel which publishers, no doubt, have to strong-arm, cajole producers to take so you can get face time.

But now you’ve hit a new nadir.  You hadn’t, apparently, embarrassed yourself enough, you’re so desperate to get noticed you:  ”defend” the President of the US by claiming those who don’t want health care reformed:  are racists.  Wow.  Talk about Dumb.

Hey “Jimmy” Get a Clue:  the current President was elected by All kinds –the Independent, the pale, the red, the brown, the Jewish, the Asian, the student, the senior adult, the disgusted, the Republican, the military, the homeowner, the jobless, the fed up:  We DID actually notice his race during the campaign, but duh, Regardless and/or Despite his race, duh, voted for him –all by ourselves –Huge majority –without your, uh, “help.”  TaDa!

The current President:  doesn’t “need” You sticking your nose into his/our business; nobody “needs” YOU to explain A thing.

–You fooled a nine year old boy author, but he didn’t live long enough to know the Real you. 

To know the things you did on ‘behalf’ of your sick clients is to know:  If we want a twisted pompous irrelevant Bore with disguised ax to grind to make trouble We’ll call. 

Till that day:  daVine Remedy for harm –to Israelis, people who wanted fuel -Food Stamps -a home -business -college loan, the cold, the atheletes, the fed up, those who believed your campaign crap –and for injecting your sorry self into current events with the Irrelevant Get Out of the Way.

Quit hauling your sorry butt and your wife around to places Not Wanted.  Get used to it –I am sure historians will, eventually, meet up with my memory:  you will be marked as the worst person who ever held the office.

Find a Decent client, try yoga -better diet -Self-examination of your sorry life –go sit in a monastery till you acquire some humility or at least a Clue.  Suck it up:  FIND something Relevant to do –Go and Mind Your Own Business.  We don’t have any need for any more face time.  Just Shut up.

Wilson, Williams, West, Wannabe, War: Lipstick on a Pig?

Voters in South Carolina failed to do their homework and made wildly poor choice of whom to represent them in the House of Representatives with: a person who thinks a good group to associate with keeps the memory of Confederacy –of “benevolent” slave-holders alive.

The “representative” of South Carolinians: further chose to defile the decorum of Congress, civility, history, common ordinary manners by calling the President of the United States ‘liar’ during an address to both houses of Congress.

Cloaked in the veneer of respectability, the
“representative” Wilson didn’t seem to get: his un-precedented outcry embarrassed his constituents, his state, his leadership, his colleagues in the House, Americans of all –and no political party and his country –on camera. Republican members of the House instructed, demanded he said, apology to his Commander-in-Chief –as in: he couldn’t figure out on his own, what is civil, what is proper behavior.

He complied with his leadership’s demand, but refused to give apology to House members, nor accept or even get he exposed himself as utterly without class and with racist views.

Republican “Representative” Wilson has every possible right to agree, disagree, side with any view he wants –IN proper time, place. But he was given the very great honor, privilege of: representing ALL in his state, not just those in a tiny district, those of a certain color.

Since then he has seized on his embarrassment, to capitalize on his ’15 minutes’ under the spotlight, to raise money to continue to occupy, his employment more important than any other thing.

Occupying a seat, wearing tie, suit, white shirt, having a title is merely ‘lipstick’ covering up a pig –when one reveals one doesn’t know the right thing, how to behave, obligation of office.

Let us look forward to South Carolinians doing a much better job of choosing who represents them in next opportunity. If they fail: the embarrassment, the ‘lipstick’ will be on them.

Views, opinions that differ from one’s own: do not give one the right to threaten death –not even if dressed in shiny cheap ugly black whore-like dress on a so-called stellar athlete.

When female tennis player Williams didn’t like making an error on a tennis court –and took it out on the line judge who called her on the error: Williams threatened to “shove this ball down your throat” –then, on being fined for the threat, shouted obscenities at the judge. When fined again and the judge named the death threat as the cause for additional fine: Williams, suddenly “shocked” at the accusation, denied the threat.

Williams, who makes lots of money, wears numerous outfits but none honoring the tradition of ‘whites’ on court, proved: muscles, vast wardrobe, money, that the adage applying lipstick on a pig doesn’t alter the pig –or demonstrate class or anything else any young watcher should emulate. Trying to justify “temper” while grinning at a press conference, Dressed up or not: no class is no class.

Years, time, effort, energy, hard work to achieve a career and popular songs didn’t count to K. West when an award-winner was making acceptance thank you speech, to live and televised audience.

West usurped the winner’s position, snatched microphone –mid sentence, to voice his opinion about the runner-up. Who wanted his opinion –how was it appropriate time, place to mouth-off his views? Somehow West has equated his hair “cut” and banal clothes, his mouth, his “achievements” and sunglasses to block out reality: as the public being in ‘desperate’ need to hear from him at that moment. His delusions serve to prove: you can put lipstick, expensive clothes, sunglasses, jewelry, microphone on a pig, but, gee, it’s still a boring boar. There isn’t an apology to cover that.

A Wannabe “premiered” on NBC Monday night. A “new” show for which they desperately hope there are enough young, dumb, bored in America who won’t mind or notice or care a jerk, will watch ‘comedy’
bits from bathroom “jokes” to sex banalities, from old bore who wants to be among the actually funny. –They
‘dressed up’ the same old, in the same old.

This is the Wannabe who participated in NBC and parent Pentagon-favorite GE’s charade: “interview” of an admirer of hitler when he was candidate for political office, but not his opponent was “okay” because the candidate was on an “entertainment” show and therefore (???) didn’t violate the “Equal Time Doctrine.” The jerk & Co did it: twice. The opponent candidate: got zero air time –and zero help from the passive FCC.

The still-unfunny Wannabe failed to ask said candidate about his admiration for the world’s most despicable despot, why he (still) admires hitler; how he would govern the state with the eighth largest economy in the world when he had no experience, no knowledge and no education to do so. The “entertainer” candidate was dressed as a jock, acted like the lousy actor he is and behaved as though viewers were Lucky to be viewing him.

If one applies doodads to an aging ex body-builder ex film exhibitionist and, hopefully, ex sexual predator of co-workers, shows effects of years of ‘enhancements’ plus dyed hair and teeth to get into office though utterly unqualified: plastering applied to the used up –changes the pig into something else???

The un-amusing pudgy Wannabe put in a chair sans desk, adding doodads to a stage to make it appear as Some Thing –to disguise same old tired parade and patter of entertainers on a mission to sell sell sell their movies –CDs –B-rated shows by ‘sharing’ banal anecdotes: somehow different than applying colored paste to the porcine? –Label it other than what it is?

Anyone who ‘falls’ for this tired stale mess: Johnny Carson, the cutting wildly funny still-missed of the Tonight Show, had good, accurate and solid reasons not to call un-funny jerk, accept his phone calls nor speak to him a single time ever after he retired from the Show.

Yet Carson sent jokes, hilarious ones, to David Letterman, frequently invited him to his weekly poker game at Carson’s Malibu home, was mentor, friend, pal to the original, funny and cutting Letterman.

An ex alcoholic, ex druggie frat boy of a multi-millionaire with secret ties to all kinds, in shadows and in ostentatious sunlight, got the idea to manipulate the political process via money, muscle, vicious lies about many things including his opponent’s so-called sexual practices, to take office and show up his daddy.

How he went proved how he meant to go: he damaged international relations, US Treasury, the Constitution, numerous rights granted us in Bill of our Rights, violated treaties, lives and prisoners, rule of law, our moral compass.

At times he ‘forgot’ himself: to & from helicopter caught on camera mid spit. He once appeared on David Letterman, with camera rolling during break, a producer leaned over desk to talk to Letterman: didn’t know
“candidate” thug used her skirt to wipe his glasses.

A newly-published book written by ex frat boy’s speech writer reveals how, why: he got the office and we, society, got coarsened, ripped off. It proves all of daddy’s oil money, all of mummsie’s snobbery could not: cover up roots –granddaddy’s support, funding to hitler and nazie party, and public legal consequences of those entanglements; nor produce a kid with any class.

If he got into office first by a panel of judges, then by twisted electronic machines which ‘gave’ more votes for him than the number of registered voters in those seven states where pals counted: something important was stolen; belief, acceptance in institutions, of process damaged. –Along with hearts, minds, arms, legs, skulls, fathers, mothers, parent-less children –viewers, at home and invaded country and around the world.

To invade another, but ‘dress it up’ as war… when he used his will, power of the office –to lie to Americans, to raise his personal profile, to invade a country no threat to this one to steal another’s’ oil: a Pig has been cloaked in finery, respectability, power, but the ‘lipstick’ doesn’t cover up what’s underneath.

His coarseness, his crudeness cannot be dressed, decorated or disguised: the pig stands alone. We are shamed for his actions, his ignorance.

Wilson, Williams, West, wannabe and war-mongering White House illegal squatter thug have much to apologize for, owe us more than ‘sorry.’ –

Perhaps the universe will see to it that we get proper
‘apology’ one day or another –daVine Remedy for those of such ilk….

Memorial Day, 2009: Why?

Memorial Day…a question….maybe you can help me….

A friend once called to say a banker she had asked for a loan had turned her down that day. After I listened to the details, I was as angry as she. We lived in San Francisco, both of us struggling. She had asked 26 –twenty-six bankers for a business loan. It was 1970s –male bankers didn’t loan money to women.

I told her: “ask the 27th. If he says “no” –ask the 28th.”  She did. She flew to the South, gave some money to a mill; to Pennsylvania, to hire a pattern maker. They made her design, to her specs. Four years later: bankers’ prediction came true, she didn’t have the business –she cleared $3 million bucks when she sold it. I told her: call up the first 26 and tell them –how dumb they Are.

Bankers…got past the ‘women in business’ thing and figured out: how a person with no savings, no salary, no credit could buy –any house. As dumb as they come: they sold what they didn’t understand –without insurance against loss; verifying a thing. They liked the money, so much they did it to so many millions: they ran this country, then the world into massive ditch.  Now: bankers using more of Other People’s money than the largest amount ever in recorded history –to cover their asses.  Clever.

Engineers…ever dealt with one? A friend’s definition: an engineer will look at a house for sale, analyze it from every perspective, and make an offer –two years later. The ‘dimmest’ bulbs in the box, can’t construct a peanut butter & jelly sandwich (–believe it, I’ve seen it).

Engineers –figured out how to become a black hole –a money pit, bottom-less, with self-promotion, advertise NASA at every slight opportunity.  Millions –of light years away, they figured out how to ‘adjust the side mirror’ –fix the Hubble telescope, in deep space.  Without them: the guns –the planes –the bombs that could destroy every living thing in mere seconds wouldn’t exist…. Clever.

Penta-goons, those ’super’ “patriots” who show up at funerals, every public ceremony, mouth patriotic blather…send the healthiest into the abyss…figured out how to scare the hell outta 535 grown men –for decades. Now men and women of Congress: give them nearly three-quarters of all our money, ten times more than any other country on the planet –for every toy the boys say they have to have.

–Billions –multi-billions –spent to fight the last war they lost. Even though every room in every base all around the world already has a TV, and acres of desert is covered in rusted hundreds of thousands of now un-loved toys, they come back and bang the cup, beg for more –in “supplemental” budget, never telling the Whole truth –every ‘toy’ needed or not –works –or not… boys and their toys…. They tossed the Nation’s Guard to other side of the world –without water -maps -hardened transport or even enough bullets, but plenty of uncounted cash for pals –boards & cloth -orders -blame -sentences to grunts for obeying.

If a kid who didn’t finish college can create a new ’soft ware’ thing in his parents’ garage –while his friend invents a box to put it in –can change the world….

My father was the navigator –in bomber planes, when whole World went to War for the second time, because the most vile that ever lived thought the best ‘use’ of 11 million children –Gypsies –gays –Jews was murder.

–Ditch diggers and diplomats –painters, poets –passionate, passive –the pretty, the peasant, the pragmatic, the poor –slid into massive earth craters, into ovens at their hands, at their lust for power. The vile: changed the world forever –they, their descendants lost the right to even sit with the decent, for 1,000 generations.

How was that the way for 17-year old to spend his youth? No one came home from that or any other war without scars that rend the body, the mind, the soul.

I’m smart, I can think, but I don’t get it, I can’t figure it out. On the day set aside to honor those –sent somewhere –to kill somebody else’s kid, and died trying…I am wondering…

Memorial Day… It began as a way to memorialize those killed fighting those in other states who disagreed, in the War Between the States, then changed to honor: all those killed in all wars.

Stupid men have done the stupid –that cost lives –sent them to their death, all through history.

THIS is the 21st century. This is five –fifty thousand years after –humans learned to walk upright, fashion tools. Can you tell me –How much longer: till we figure out a better way –than vile stinking “war”?

What if –nobody gave them them the money –nobody designed the weapons… What if they held a war …and Nobody came….

–After thousands of years, WHY do the supposedly G-d-loving with disputes, grievances –’settle’ them –with the healthiest -youngest bodies –fight –the same Old worthless things –the same OLD worthless way? WHY does war still exist?

That is the question –to those who lust for power –to those who use the uneducated to terrorize the world –to those who spout ‘patriotic’ drivel, spend blood, treasure on multi-million dollar worthless weapons, and pore over blueprints for More –all easily destroyed with stupidity, with grocery store supplies.

With all the passion –ingenuity –supposed love of G-d, what is the Point: honoring, grieving, regretting the past –if we use our energy –brains –money –creativity –continuing to do it?

What sane ‘regular’ person anywhere wants any part of any such death, destruction –any such madness?

Honoring those who have died in war –when we know better, but keep on doing it?  Where is the end to it…where is the daVine Remedy…?
