Essay Title Is :
What I Did This Summer !
It's So Cool !
September 26, 2004 (Sunday)
The observant and attentive
dear and faithful reader
may have noticed that my last entry
was June 29 !
The mathematically inclined
dear and faithful reader
may have calculated that that was
about three months ago,
roughly encapsulating the time period
commonly refered to as "The Summer".
Three Trips Around the Country
Since Arnold hasn't hired me
to reform education
or the prison system,
or appointed me as a judge,
YET,
and since George W. hasn't hired me,
YET,
and since I have not YET received
compensation and recognition
from Rush Limbaugh
for writing, in 1982,
the script for his programs,
his "show prep" for the
next two decades,
I took upon myself
the performance of a service
in return for monetary compensation.
On July 1, I started a job
driving around the country
hauling sail boats.
Roaring Through Florida
And The East Coast
three times,
and planning to do so a fourth time soon,
God and I have chastized the brats of Florida
for their outrageous behavior
in the 2000 election,
and given them warning
to behave responsibly
and VOTE overwhelmingly FOR BUSH
this year.
We both visited our fury
upon Tampa,
home of a big, fat,
self-centered source of hot air.
Seeing A Lot
My routes took me across I10 or I40
to the East Coast,
and then by two different routes
to the state of Washington.
I spent a weekend in Myrtle Beach,
and a few hours in Yellowstone N.P.,
where I observed Old Faithful.
I spend a half day in Butte, MT,
where I caught the last day
of their Irish Festival and
observed a Mass offered in Gaelic.
The truck and trailer broke down
about a half-dozen times.
During one such breakdown,
I spent a week in a motel
in Pierre (pronounced "peer" locally,
not "pee air"), South Dakota.
While there I jogged an hour a day,
and seriously embarked upon a
fitness and weight loss program
that I have stuck with for 2 1/2 months,
resulting in a narrowing of the waist
by several notches on the belt.
Dick And Lynne Cheney and
Steve Scully Interview
I also took the opportunity at the motel
to watch cable tv such as cspan,
and saw some good interviews
of Dick and Lynne Cheney,
and some good histories of the West.
I also saw some cspan programs
featuring young campus conservatives
fighting anew the fight that I fought
twenty years ago against censorship
of conservatives on the college campuses.
Of course, I fought alone in a groundbreaking
endeavor that blazed a path for the likes of
Limbaugh, Diane Ravitch and others -
including today's young conservatives,
whether they know it or not.
I also saw Dick Gregory honored
by the NAACP as honored keynote speaker.
At least blacks and democrats
remember their old warriors.
Impeach Shelley !
It seems nobody remembers
the phone number of
old conservative warriors like me -
except, well, the democrats!
Was getting emails and phone calls
from Secretary of State Shelley's
office a lot - until recently,
that is.
It wouldn't look good
if it were found out
that he was harassing
a conservative activist
who was part of the movement
that propelled the extremely popular
Governor Schwarzenegger into office
and kicked out the Democrat Davis
on his ass.
So, they haven't been harassing me
in the past couple of months
since Shelley's been exposed
as a law-breaking, unprofessional,
partisan, employee-abusing,
woman-abusing, arrogant office holder,
who admits to having mental illness
issues such as anger-management
problems only after they have been
undeniably exposed, and who admits
to having an "Irish temper" that
he keeps losing.
I, too, have an Irish temper, but,
unlike the soon-to-be-impeached Shelley,
I always know EXACTLY where mine is !
No, no harassing calls from Shelley's office
lately. They called me early into my second
trip around the country - end of July,
beginning of August. Then he got his
rude awakening. Fuck you, Shelley !
We need to get serious about all these
rich motherfuckers and all these
motherfuckers in positions of power
and give them serious prison time,
all the time.
Dan Weintraub's California Insider Weblog
of September 23 links to the Sacramento Bee's
call for Shelley's resignation or impeachment.
If his replacement is appointed by the governor,
then I recommend myself as the best candidate.
I was disappointed when the hundreds
of signatures I collected during hundreds
of hours did not qualify me as an official
write-in candidate for governor during
the recall election. I suspect now -
now after the threatening calls and emails
from Shelley's office, now after learning
of his partisanship and mental illness -
that I was unfairly denied status as
an official write-in candidate.
My phone number, for you conservatives
in positions of power, is :
916 470-0638.
And I'm not seeking invitation
to your god-damned Republican parties !
I'm not into parties and schmoozing
and hints and innuendos.
I'm direct. I'm into appointment
and hiring and authority
and tasks and objectives.
Weintraub laments Arnold's
Lack of Political Courage
Say it isn't so. Say it isn't so.
Is Arnold a bully or a fighter?
We all know the difference.
Bully's get their way with bluster
and intimidation and back down
in a real fight. Fighters often
go through life low key and humble
and meek, but can kill when
they have to.
Today, Sunday, September 26, 2004,
Dan Weintraub opines in the Sacramento Bee
that Arnold should lead the debate
on immigrants..."If he showed
more political courage, he could..."
You name it. If he showed more
political courage, he could really
change this state and country and world
for the better. So far all we've seen
is showmanship and bluster and
compromise to the point of...well,
backing down.
The fighter realizes that today's fight
is so important, that delicate plans
for the future be damned.
Two contemptible people have planned
their lives since youth around their
plans for their political futures -
Bill Clinton and Kerry.
What we liked about Arnold
is that he is not a career politician.
Arnold, it is true that you needed
the professional politicians
to get elected.
But, three months after the election,
you should have showed them to their
new offices in the basement and then
bring them back upstairs three months
before the next election.
Why are you afraid of me, Arnold ?
Why are you just doing what your
bratty little Republican advisors
are telling you to do.
Why don't you just start a weekly
"Governor's TV Program" and start
telling the people directly
where you stand, what the issues are,
and what the hell's going on ?
Why do you just go on Leno
every now and then and say,
in effect, "I'm just a big
goofball bluffer. It's all
just an act." ?
Why haven't you started blowing up
the corrupt public school system
from K through university ?
Why am I not a major player
RIGHT NOW in the creation of a new,
effective, simple, fair,
flexible school system -
one that is not subject to
the whims of the extremist
radical religious right or
a mere propaganda and social
engineering monster of the
radical liberal left ?
Do you, indeed, know what the hell
is going on ? If not, then may I
suggest that's all the more reason
why you need people like me -
and specifically, me.
Rush Limbaugh A Failure
Yeah, what "Institute" for Advanced
Conservative Studies?
He should have started a real university
years ago and gotten it accredited
years ago, or failing that, should have
started our own accrediting institution.
That way, we could start getting
teachers credentialed who've been
screened out and blacklisted
by the liberal monster machine
we have now. It's not too late
to start.
And how about starting a department
of psychology while we're at it
so we can start producing Ph.D's
who make sense and who are officially
recognized by government departments ?
I mean, come on ! Most of this
psychobabble that the government funds
is sheer make believe !
Dyslexia ! ! Joke A What
!Funny Even Not It's
The trendy disease du jour,
or disease du decade.
Everybody's bi-polar now.
That means you have ups and downs.
Funny that the generation of the
sixties that "Howled", has produced
a bumper crop of psychologists
(now in their fifties and sixties
and dominating the profession),
diagnosing as bipolar anybody
who gets excited or depressed.
The "howling" generation wants
a country of Bill Clintons and Kerrys -
emotionless, spiritless, bland
calculating jerks. After all,
the sixties generation
IS the establishment, now.
They don't want anybody rocking
the boat with spirit or inspiration.
They want predictable, reliable workers.
How about Bambi Betts ?
Now there's a name for you !
Sounds like the name of a stupid,
dirty girl, to me.
Bambi's got some kind of a scam going
teaching principals of international
schools what they should be teaching.
Jesus, Lord ! I noticed her article
and ads in "The International Educator",
a publication I subscribe to because
I've been seeking employment as
an international educator, because
I've been blacklisted in this country
by the liberal public school monopoly.
Bambi's article is all about
"teaching global citizenship".
And, of course, she's an expert
on this subject that she made up ?
Sure, why not ?
Who's to challenge her but me ?
And, of course, I'm just an exhausted,
unbathed, homeless person -
not a titled official with a respectable
position in the Schwarzenegger administration.
See this is how it works.
Bambi tires of the politics and headaches
of teaching and she has this massive
sense of entitlement that this kind of
American white female has, so she creates
a position ABOVE teachers AND administrators,
and calls herself a teacher of principals
or something like that.
Now, sure, the school administrators
are a bit envious of her cleverness,
but they're a bunch of frauds, too.
So, they buy into it, collegially.
(Read Huck Finn, about the scoundrels
the duke and the dauphin).
Besides, it gives them a higher position
to be hired to, someday.
Next thing you know, teaching
"global citizenship" becomes a
REQUIREMENT. You have to take classes
in it in college and in schools of
education to get credentialed.
And, of course, they have majors
and Ph.D's in this thing that
Bambi Betts made up because of her
massive sense of entitlement.
Of course, if you don't AGREE with
the liberals' world view and all the
offensive anti-American, anti- white man
propaganda they shove down your throat
in the global citizenship classes,
you get blacklisted. Don't even
dare to explore differing views
with excessive curiosity.
Meanwhile, the kids of the globe
are being exposed to wishy-washy
nothingness by flaky, shallow teachers
who were stamped with approval
by the leaders of the liberal machine -
flaky teachers who resist standardized
tests as "unfair" because they don't have
enough god-damned general knowledge
to pass them - or the ability to think
clearly.
CRITICAL THINKING
I did a good job of explaining
why people who subscribe to the
popular notion of "critical thinking"
are NOT, themselves, good critical thinkers.
(I'll link to it if I have the time.
Otherwise, just delve deep into my
Education links).
Having proven that enthusiasts of the
term, "critical thinking", are NOT
good critical thinkers, I teased
my readers with a promise to explain
WHY these shallow educators love
the phrase so much.
OK, here it is.
It has do to with the style and emotional
impact of the word "critical",
with its different denotations
and conotations.
Play with it yourself in your mind
and start making word associations
with the word "critical".
Critical things are IMPORTANT,
significant, dangerous (and therefore
exciting and sexy and adreneline pumping)
Nuclear explosions and other events
reach CRITICAL mass. The most dangerous
condition for a patient is to be in
CRITICAL condition.
Things that are necessary or important
are said to be CRITICAL. "It's absolutely
CRITICAL that we have this or that this
be done or done just right".
Even in math, the CRITICAL points
on a curve are where something
significant or notable or meaningful
happens, such as a change in direction,
velocity or acceleration, or the like.
And, of course, there's superiority
in being a CRITIC, like a movie critic.
You see, the intelligence, and taste
and judgement of a CRITIC in being able
to tell you all about a movie or a book
from every angle and aspect and whether
it is good or bad and where and how -
this all puts the CRITIC on a higher level
than the creative artist himself or herself.
So, you see, it's just a very stylish phrase.
It's a classic case of style over substance.
The stupid, dirty little girls and girly-men
who are teaching and administering in our
public schools like the way it sounds,
even though it has no meaning. In fact,
they like it all the more for that
enigmatic, mysterious fact - it's a
kinda, sorta, maybe word. We don't
really know for sure, but we're
concerned about it.
Scully Beheaded In Karachi
The International Educator October, 2004
Finally ! Scully, respected but
reviled by liberals and scorned
by greedy, selfish, stupid
conservative bastards, finally
reached the nasty, unpleasant end
liberals and conservatives both
wished upon him.
He couldn't get a teaching job
anywhere, but the liberal international
educators conspired to get him a job
in Karachi, Pakistan and then told
the Jihadists that he was a conservative
and good friend of George Bush.
Why the hell George Bush didn't give him
a good job, then, we'd all like to know.
But, anyway, he's dead now, and his
blood spurted all over the place
and he said "Aagh" when they sliced
his throat, instead of taking it like a man.
We always knew he wasn't much of a man
and the way he said "Aagh" when he was
beheaded proves us right.
Therefore, we were right
in not hiring him
and in keeping him on
the fringes of society.
And he wasn't nice.
He said things that people didn't like.
He was inappropriate.
He promised not to behave badly
or inappropriately and then
he broke his promise.
Worst of all, he liked pretty girls.
He wouldn't stop liking them.
What a loathsome, vile, hateful creature.
But he was clever enough
to live within the law,
and that's why he frustrated us so much.
And that's why we had him killed.
We mean, that's why we're saddened
by the death of a colleague who,
though we often/always disagreed with
him and everything about him,
we were concerned and caring.
Our only fault here as educators
is that we just loved too much.
Scully's Home Shot Up, Blasted,
Vandalized and Ransacked
Big, Fat, 300 Pound White Neighbor
A Big Fat Filthy Rich Republican
Dairy Farmer Did It
OK, dear and faithful readers,
this one's for real, not just
a visit from the ghost of Christmas
future, like the headline above this one.
The photos should be developed
in a couple of days
and I'll upload them.
I estimate about $100,000 in losses.
All my possessions were in storage
in a securely locked
steel ocean container.
Nothing would have happened there
without the approval of
my big, fat, white male
Republican neighbor,
an aggressive and hostile
dairy farmer who didn't want me there.
He got duped by the people who sold him
the quarter section where he put his dairy.
They told him the quarter section behind him
was part of the Pixley National Wildlife Refuge, but it isn't.
It has about a hundred lots on it, and I'll make sure every
dirt-poor person in Tulare County and surrounding counties
knows about it and organizes to develop it,
if I am not quickly and courteously compensated generously
for the losses I've suffered.
At first, I was given approval
to build on the lot, but then
they changed the laws before
I got a building permit.
That's small town Tulare
county politics.
I wouldn't be upset it all
the Mexican Americans there
got guns to defend themselves
against the filty rich
Republican white males there,
who deserve to be murdered.
People can only be pushed so far
for so long just so many times,
motherfuckers.
Did I remember to say "FUCK YOU !"
YET ?
Summer...Continued
Anyway, I did other things this summer.
I spend about a week in Tijuana.
And, no, I didn't get laid
or go to titty bars, you
shallow perverts.
I also drove a few routes
I'd never driven before.
One was through the four corners area,
on highway 491. That's where
Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico
intersect. I think a lot of hippy
dropouts from the sixties settled there,
as in other parts of the desert Southwest.
But, like Alaska, it may be a mixture
of extreme left and right.
It's close to Utah.
Though, I must say,
Moab looked like a delightful town,
and the cop who pulled me over
north of Moab for driving
after sunset with a wide load
and the trailer lights out
(I didn't know about that)
was very kind in not ticketing me.
That's pretty much the problem
with America: Lott and Pelosi.
I said it a couple of years ago.
The Republican leader and the
Democratic leader : both at
the extreme ends of the spectrum.
They got rid of the Republican
but not the Democrat. Typical.
Republicans are wuses.
Highway 491 north of Moab passes right by
a National Park with those rock formations
like you see on Road Runner and Coyote
cartoons.
Then last week I came down highway 95
from Boise, Idaho to Winnemucca, Nevada.
Very remote. Glad I saw it.
Well, that's about it.
I delivered a boat to Portsmouth,
North Carolina and picked up some vibes
from that historic area.
Gotta go. Getting tired.
Medical appointment tomorrow.
Applications to submit.
Camper to organize.
Old friends to visit.
Scully To Rich Greedy
Motherfucking Republicans :
Finance My Trucking Company !
You don't HAVE to repay me with
a political appointment,
but you better repay me, motherfuckers.
I know all you goody, goody politicians
are soooo polite and well-mannered,
with parlor room manners and all,
and only I and black politicians
(and sometimes Dick Cheney)
say "motherfucker". Fuck You.
I don't expect to be repaid
by having my storage ocean container
shot up with shotguns
and $100,000 worth of all my possessions
ransacked, vandalized and stolen,
motherfuckers.
I know you're all just a fucking clique
just like the god-damned liberals.
Do right, motherfuckers,
because you can only push a person
down and back so far, so many times,
for so long.
