The Left Column

Politics for Poets

unholy week.

One of my favorite places to have a quick bite in Boston is on Boylston Street, right across from the Prudential Building. Here is a picture. Right near there I took this picture. Notice that there is a line across the road. That is where the Boston Marthon ends. Here is another one near the same spot, also from 2006.

The manager of this Pizzeria Uno had a post mid-week that the restaurant will be open when it makes sense to do it.

Here is a picture which I call 'The Three Mayors'.

The Three Mayors

The three mayors: a class act!

Alex Jones

a conspiracy of acting stupidly

The war for politeness is . . . not a war. When people think that there is a 'war', and they don't act like they are on your side, whose side are we suppose to think that they are on? OK, I'm thinking about it too much.

Alex Jones website obviously mongers for publicity. Those who run that site might feel some shame for how their blogger (s?) behaved last week at various important press conferences. All in all the Alex Jones blogger(s) were very uncool. Moronic. Idiotic. Braindead. Wrong. Unsubstantiated. Jingoistic. Embarrasing (because I have my own blog-snot spot, but I realize that I don't all way wipe my runny-nose thoughts, drippy goopy un wanted thoughts), all over important people at the height of the necessary carrying out of their Constitutional duties of office. They did a great job, all of the spokes people that had to do the press conference thing. Do you know what it is like to find the flower of youth bleeding out in a squad car, a guy who would sacrifice himself for you? And Alexjonsing (jonsing for sanity, no doubt. They need a deep fix of that. shoot it right into their veins, let the sane thoughts prevail.) Everyone who works for the government does so as an individual. If there is crime associated with governmental processes, and someoen is doing some thing wrong in some capacity of what they do, it isn't that everything and all that they do it totally corrupt and wrong In fact the corrupt person who is in office is there as a fact of having to be that way in order to get elected. And so we have to accept that there are problems with government. But the solution to the individual with moral issues who works for the government is not to assume that any and all governmental people are completely and fully corrupt. It just ain't so (It just is not that way), in fact, most pepole who work in government have a strong sense of moral duty and do not live debuached and corrupted lives.

And if these people do things wrong they will have a large trust, at the end of their lives, usually, if they are really as corrupt at the Alex-jonsings imagine. And then liberals will guilt their relatives into kicking some of the booty back to the community. There will be another community center. They will name it after some important ex-political back-room deal maker. Everyone will be happy.

I guess the story that I write is that politicians, and the folks that Alected to Jones writers would desparauge, are just folks folks and just the same as folks is folks and, in fact, might have once thought that the whole 'parts is parts' schitck was funny. Doesn't hat appeal to Alex Jones blog readers?

It is easy to forget that we are all just people. The people who think that there is a giant conspiracy: you are right. There is. It's is called 'Human Society' by some. By others, they just call it 'strangers'. Yes, there are a lot of things that were planned out long long ago, in the distant board rooms of opium addicted political bankers and their ilk. I can use the word 'ilk' because these people, I admit it, are just a fiction. If you want to explore who they might be, if they are, in fact, real, you can get names of people from the 1910's and start reading their biographies. You will find that none of them survived. So what do they rule now? The things that they set up? What modivates them? Why would there be people who want to maintain some story of the past? Why would there be people who are trying to work for better things? Because better things are always prefered. that is why we call them 'better'. We always expect an improvement in proces. We need to have a moving forward of the dialectcal methodologies of well-perused media. We should have people who do respect the grand traditions of journalism, if only that we play at it. I have no degree in Journalism, just a meager stupd degree in Media-Communications (power-monger NYC childe of the television moguls school for rich kids). Another (reaal) degree (I'm being unfair to my 32 credit degree) in Electrical Engineering later. But I do expect that I would be friendly to anyone who I would feature on my site. So if I were the type to crash important news conferences where tense leather necks are trying to parse out to the public information that will be useful and not freak out the old ladies and sensitives at the coffee house or at the old-age home. We had a real deal situation and Alex Jonsing for a real idea guy at the news conference was a jerk to an extreame. So: move your deal to a better place, you jonesing for the truth people. You are addicted to sensation. You are jonsing for titilation of possibility. We, here on Earth, are trying to make sense of the stupidity of childminded war-in-their-head kids who bring it to our street. So take your jonesing for whatever to a better place. Act like adults, next time, please. You gotta know, you gotta know it, don't you, that most of those Fed people are really really kinda nice. Good people. They might bark hard, they can be scarey when you are to them. But for real, they aren't criminally minded and they do not think that they 'rule' us. That is a conspiracy theory plot from bad pulp-paper fiction detective/spy novel stuff from cold-war minds. Antique and past tense. We need to get past it as a society and go into the real future. Alex Jones website is like the True Romance magazine of politics: people read it greedily with titilation, but htey know that it is just stories designed to ammuse. Don't they know this?

I find it easy to make up fictions about people from the past and the plots that they made. What is the real story? What does it really matter? We simpley might have a better time, as a society as as people, if we don't try to figure it all out. So, kindness. Ya, so we can read someone's grandfather's story. We can read about how so-and-so super wealthy guy took over a whole country. The great grandson didn't do this. So how can we blame him for what his great granddad did? And we can read that but we don't find out the whole story about that family, because when there is a lot of wealth there are usually a lot of heirs to that wealth (let's hope so, spread it all around, please). And so if you only look at one thing that one member of the family did you miss other things that other relatives did: being in jail for being a dissident in the late 1940's for not ratting out people from a now banned political party. Imgine that. It makes the story far more interesting and far more complicated. But the reaal deal, when you are looking at an individual, is do you like him or her? and if you do not then who cares at all, what you think because you may not have best interest in heart. So someone has realitives with an interesting story. Or someone did somehting one in their youth that many find shame in. What are they doing now? how are you loving htem by being so hard to judge them so hard and make stuff up about them, all of these nonsensical stories about 'conspiracy'.

Conspiracy: yes! Conspiracy of kindness. Conspiracy of liberty. Conspiracy of Justice. Conspiracy of politness and eccumencalism. Is that a bad thing?

well . . .

I think I've blogged enough today.

content goes stale and making it spin just makes it suck even more if it really does suck. If the content is anygood unless the spining has some function it might become quickly tiring.

~ OK Now.

Banish Nonsense was his scree. I'd have to delete this whole website!

There are new features here that are annoying at times but fun in some ways. This page is best viewed with firefox. Chrome doesn't seem to pick up all the rocking. This is very cool: angle spin gauge or John Barents Carousel. Because this page is rocking. Rocking rocking rocking. What it is, he said, what it is. The problem is, what it is. Span Rocker.Paper Sizes. envelope sizes. Look at this sample page and have some fun with it.

  
  Can we put a wedge there to let in some fresh air?
  Where the window is too heavy to open, the
      counterballances were cleaved off in-there and
  the window just slams shut if you lift it up
          and let it go.
     It might shatter if it slams too hard, or
        if it came down on your head it would be
      like a guilliteene

     So let's put a board, or a pot, or a stone 
             there to hold up the window
       and let in some fresh air.

 
  Praise God!
  








Wake up!
