Quarantined

By the way, our traveling TB patient isn't the only citizen who is under mandatory quarantine, there's also a guy in Arizona, who also refused to wear his mask. They have this guy in jail. Jail. A guest of Sheriff Joe Arpio. This patient has made a habit ticking off his guards. The guards, who usually deal with murders and rapists and assailants of all levels, have countered by taking away his "privileges" meaning his phone, tv, and computer. Last I heard, those were returned to him, but given this guy is probably a jerk, who knows how long he'll be allowed to keep them. What a country.

Shame on CNN

Cnn International just announced the name of the world traveling TB patient, you won't find the name here. That is not the business of the public, announcing the flight number would have been enough for people to look out for themselves. Yes the man did the wrong thing, but let's not plaster his name and prom picture around the world. What did they hope to get done by doing that? That's not news, it's pandering.

More TV

I watched NCIS again tonight, an episode entitled "Twisted Sister" It came before "Cover Story" and upset me less. I was more than half expecting it. I'm pretty sure that Kluger is using his ghost writing gig as some sort of cheap cathartic therapy.

Kluger used to brag about working on "As Time Goes By" he told me that he'd written the episodes involving the character Lionel writing a mini-series. He described the scripts to me. I think he also wrote the episode entitled "The Stalker" but on that one I'm only guessing. Okay, so I'm more than guessing...everyone out there who thinks they're doing me a favor by having me watched, I'd appreciate it if you would watch this episode. Please ask yourselves, whose made a jerk out of whom?

Dell

Does anybody remember the Dell computers having a problem with their batteries? As I recall, they used to blow up. On one occasion, a guy who was going fishing, with his laptop, left the laptop in his truck when it blew, destroying the truck as well. Nobody was injured. Anyway, the guy was very funny, as he stood outside his ruined truck and told the story. When anyway Dell had lost some business, and now for the first time in its history, will be selling its computers at Wal-Mart. That's nice. It's also very lucky that the Clintons no longer have official ties to Wal-Mart, otherwise I might have been suspicious.

What's up with this?

What's going on over at GE? They just sold off their plastics department to the Saudis, and it seems they're going to use the money from the sale to buy back shares of itself. Basically, they're going to pump up the stock price, but to what end? And is Steven Kluger looking for a job?

By the by, why isn't the Sandy Berger thing a bigger story? You remember Berger, he got caught removing sensitive documents, some of which regarded Clinton's handling of terrorism, or lack there of, and taking them, where, home? Why isn't that a big deal? Why is it that Clinton and those associated with the Clintons don't go to jail for obstruction of justice? Who knows what was in those papers that he stuffed into his socks? Who knows the human cost of that act? I think we should muster a little disapproval, if not actual outrage.

World Bank

So with the World Bank looking for a new head it seems feelers are being put out to draft Bill Clinton for the position. It would make sense, as I'd never heard of Wolfiwitz until he took off his shoes and exposed his over-worn socks to the world. Although personally, I thought he'd be used to replace Gonzales, I suppose time will tell...

I missed my exit off the freeway today. I'd been distracted by others and their attention getting behaviors, and I turned around at Fort Myers. In doing so, I happened to ditch the surveillance team. They thought I'd gone onto the base, and didn't try to follow. I'd be sorry to hear of phone calls being made, trying to track me down, people, even those on military bases, have other things to do. I wasn't trying to be sneaky, I leave that to others. I just made a U turn, and went back to the freeway. For a while, they didn't follow.

In case you were wondering, I was found again later in the afternoon. I was warned, before the scene stared. I was having a drink and a nibble on the patio of a place near the Potomac. I really don't understand the benefit in causing a scene, or just randomly complaining loudly so that others can't enjoy their Sunday afternoon. With all of my difficulties, I just can't imagine being that insecure. I feel real pity for those cowardly bullies. When you think about it, they really are sad. Poor things.

Hillary needs a song?

Hillary Clinton wants everybody's help to chose a song...she's put nine choices up on her website to help you help her chose. Isn't that nice. It seems we women don't even know our own minds. She left off Merle Haggard's "Let's Put a Woman in Charge" off the list. Merle Haggard wrote and recorded that song special for her, and she doesn't see fit to include it on a list of choices for her campaign. I agree that Haggard is not the sort who would be considered sexy, not by city standards, but the guy's a living legend. He's had 40 number one hits, he's in the Country Music Hall of Fame, he's seriously influenced music for decades! His music is in the homes of millions of Americans. Yet the song he produced special for Hillary Clinton doesn't make the cut. I suppose having ten choices instead of nine was deemed too many. I don't know if the campaign actually commissioned the song or not, but as Haggard, his talent, his sweat, was disrespected by an ungrateful Hillary Clinton, I certainly hope he was paid for his time, his trouble, and the insult.

Immigration

I don't know anybody who really cares about this immigration thing, not even me. I'm far too selfish, ask anybody. They'll tell you. They're experts. Whether they've met me or not!

Lloyd Braun's an ass

I've really been hammered on the airwaves recently. More so than usual. David Letterman does it because of his relationship with Kluger, as a ghostwriter on the "Everybody Loves Raymond" show, course now there are talks of a new show with Ray, so I guess that's the reason. Regis did it, I suppose for the guests. Lloyd Braun is such a twit, he's the creator of "Grey's Anatomy" so he arranges for the actors to smear me on every occasion.

It used to upset me a lot, but now I'm bored with being upset, now it's kind of funny, watching these people try so hard to be cool. All the while parroting lies, that so many people who know what's what, already know better. It's also sad in a way. These are envied people, acting like school children, in a desparate attempt to punish somebody they've never met, for reasons they don't understand. I really think that most of these people are patsys, all worked up over lies.

haircut

Do we think Micheal Moore and Fred Thompson are in a pro-wrestling match? There's no doubt in my mind who wrote Thompson's copy. Do you wonder if it's the same jokester who came up with "John Edwards at the beauty parlor" thing from, was it Huckabee? I seem to remember, years ago, I believe a six hundred dollar haircut, given on the tarmac of LAX, but that was for Bill Clinton. I don't remember if any planes were allowed to take off, but because of security reasons, no airplanes were allowed to land, they had to circle LAX, burning fuel, polluting the air, and making everyone else late.

any ideas?

I'd like to live at at least part of my life unsupervised, any ideas on how I go about doing that? I'm looking for suggestions.

Being sued?

So what's up with Howard Dean? It seems he and others are being sued for violating the civil rights of gay people. It was probably a joke, but on the Imus theory, he could lose his gig as chairman of the DNC, and be replaced by somebody more favorable to the Clintons. Stay tuned...

come on

On Monday morning I was walking my dog, and noticed that the dumpster in the back of the building, which had been overflowing had been emptied, but the overflow was still all around on the ground. I let the management know this, and as it turns out, there was a court date that afternoon. It regarded the burglar I'd caught in my apartment. I had received no summons, so I call the detective and he asks me to come to court. I go, it turns out that the guy pleas guilty and nobody has to testify after all. So I leave. I'm on the road and just as I have the thought that nobody had swarmed me on the way to court, I thought that I might make it home without any harassment. Silly silly me. I'm wondering if my "friends" have put a tele-path on the payroll. I got home fine, but I was emotionally drained. I had to sleep, I couldn't keep my plans that night. They know that it has this effect on me, it isn't a secret. So they figured that since I'd left my house today, they'd apologize. They know apologizing affects me in very much the same way. But that's okay, because it's all about them. I didn't want to actually "do" anything for my entire life anyway.

You know that scene in "American Splendor" when our anti-hero is stuck in the check-out line behind the woman who's trying to get a special price on glasses, imagine that every single day, for your entire adult life. Now that's living?

I've asked for six months. I do not ask anybody to interfere with my enemies attacks on me, just that my friends not make things worse. Isn't that little enough? Maybe I won't be able to accomplish anything, but would it really be a tragedy if I do?

If Ever

If ever anybody says to you "I will never forgive you" believe that person. It's a very strong statement. It's meant to be.

No real news..

I'm still being stalked. But it's probably just from my enemies, which is to be expected, as Magna's not buying Chrysler now. I just stumbled upon that, which is a shame. I think I missed an opportunity to gloat, and those are so few and far between. I wonder if I would have enjoyed that...

Who was it?

Who was following me today, friend or foe? The difference being...don't really know, they're all in goose-step, having no idea that they're doing wrong. I think maybe they're freelancers. Perhaps a stalking pool. Reporting back to anyone who's interested. How does one get a job like that? Who would want a job like that? Are there any qualifications? A strong stomach perhaps? A broken moral compass?

At least they refrained from yapping at me, I know it's pathetic, calling that an improvement. I wonder how long it'll last.

GAS

So Hillary Clinton came up with the bright idea to check out gas prices...that's nice. By the way, I'm sure she'd prefer that nobody remember that Gov. Rell of CT did it first. That part's a secret.

Looks like Belinda Stronach's political career is over. She's the Canadian politician whose relationship with Bill has come under some question for some time. She'll be alright though, she's heading back to work with her father in the family business, Magna. Magna is bidding to buy Daimler-Chrysler. I wonder if this means I have to sell my Seabring?

forgivness

I'm no longer in that business. It has harmed me beyond imagination, and I'm all finished doing that. There are some people on this planet who are good victims, they're rewarded wonderfully. I'm not one of them. I see no reason to try to separate one log from another on the dog pile. Email me if you have something to say, if you are unable or unwilling to do that, it isn't worth sending a pawn.

Back East We Go Today

Coach Stringer has parlayed an insult into a pay raise and a book deal. I don't mind, much. Why shouldn't she get paid as much as her male counter-part? $450,000 in base pay, and up to $900k+ with incentives, okay. Plus a million dollar book deal, that's fine too, as long as she actually writes the autobiography.

We also have Al Sharpton, a self anointed moral voice of the nation. Righter of wrongs, watchdog of bigotry...so what if he invites pot/kettle discussions? You knew that was coming.

Surprised

I'm surprised that anybody is reading this, but I know people are. Earlier today, I found people taking a count-view to my own. It's not that I mind counter-views, but they basically quoted my blog. They were rude, but quoted me all the same. An editor in Michigan, and somebody on TMZ.com, the comments section. How weird is that supposed to be?

Griffith Park

No condescending comments about Griffith Park? Are you really trying?

How's LA?

Let's see, Griffith Park is burning down. That's a terrific place, the Greek Theatre is there, along with a zoo, "The Bat Cave" a fabulous observatory, great homes, they used to run a small train through there too. I think They stopped doing that after the conductor was murdered. Griffith Park is however, nowhere near Malibu, it's at least an hour's drive away, in the small hours of the day, when the freeway's empty.

Also, we have Paris Hilton going to jail, for 45 days, for a driving violation. Outrageous. If she were anybody else, she'd get some community service. Yes, it is her fault, when this business first started, she should have hired a personal, professional driver. One who could double as a body guard when necessary, but still.

What about this David Hasselhoff and Alex Baldwin thing. They both behaved badly, granted, but it was within their families. Yes, their conduct needed to be addressed, but not publicized. To exploit somebody's else's weakness, be it teenage rebellion, or a mid-life crisis to amuse yourself is truly disgusting. You don't get to rearrange somebody else's family because you think it's funny. It's just wrong beyond words.

Lawsuit

Imus is suing CBS for the remainder of his contract. I think he'll win. I think he should win. Yes his comments were mean, but being mean was written into his contract.

It seems they let Wargo out of jail. $100,000 bought him the key to his cell. I guess the Clintons are going to have to railroad some other coed to show their importance.

Anti-Terrorism Tax Dollars

Richard Wargo, isn't that a great name? He's the guy, a college student, arrested for terrorism and possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. He apparently shot his mouth off, in an anti-Hillary sort of way, hypothesizing about her death, and somebody snitched him out. His home was searched his home and dope was found. Paraphernalia was also found. A college kid, with wacky-weed is in jail, and needs $1 MILLION dollars to get out. I looked for articles, and found none that listed any weapons. I found no mention of a map, a kill list, a shopping list, a list for things to do, or anything that isn't normal for a college kid. My theory is that a lighter or book of matches were found with his grass, and now he's being charged also with planning an arson, an arson that never took place.

The Clintons have done this sort of thing before. While daughter Chelsea was in college, the cross-town football rivals made a joke about her in the school paper. The Secret Service showed up at the editor's room, and threatened to arrest him.

Aren't we lucky to live in a nation that uses a terror-task force to protect us from marijuana smokers. After all, he might have gotten stoned and driven his car really, really slooowly, to the local munchie mart.

Seatbelts

Didn't we have the wear your seat-belt conversation twenty years ago? Seriously people.
By the by, does anybody know who has the vanity plates SLY JAG? I figure if people are going to go through the trouble of trying to intimidate me in my travels, the least I can do is snitch them out. Isn't that a good idea! tee-hee!

Friend or Foe?

Whose bright idea was it to have my date mention that he's lost seven (7) pounds? Or an Internet search I'd done? Did somebody suggest to him that he wear sweat pants and socks and sandals to take me out?

Is it wrong of me to be confused?

Tom Poston

Tom Poston died today. One of the most underrated performers of all time. We lost one of The Greats.
