Subject: Presidential Debate Post Game Commentary: Can't take away from Mitt but don't celebrate a win yet

OK, Mitt sure showed true gritt and like John Wayne he really dug in and gave it to' em. It was as close to American cowboy executive as any Utah Mormon could dream of. ..
 
However, don't drink O'Reilly's cool-aide yet and put down Eric's "special" celebratory cigars (he scored from Beckel).
 
This is only Round 1
 
And, President Obama is a little too smart and savvy for us to stop-the-fight with a #win!
 
My theory is he has taken a page from a muslim brother named Muhammad Ali called *Rope-a-Dope. Yeah, no! I'm NOT talking about the days of Obama (Barry) in Hawaii when he was leader of the **Choom-Gang. I'm speaking of a man who was most likely just laying low on the ropes of a heavy weight fight letting his opponent give'em his best shots so he could see what he got to throw at him, take the beating, tire the opponent out and then really go on the attack.
 
 
"If you think the world was surprised when Nixon resigned, wait till I whup Foreman's behind." - Muhammad Ali
"I told you, all of my critics, I told you all, that I was the greatest of all times when I beat Sonny Liston. I told you today, I'm still the greatest of all times." - Muhammad Ali

Why Are the Freemasons Collecting Our Children's DNA? _ from the Huffington Post

 
 
 
You know them as MasoniChip, or perhaps you've been led to believe it was a state and provincial endeavor intended to protect your little ones. They set up fairs, forge partnerships with law enforcement and even strive to distribute their services through North American public school systems. In Massachusetts this Freemason program was promoted by CBS News from the steps of the official State House and included their police dog, coincidentally named Mason. Reporters only failed to mention the private nod to those promoting him or that government had little to do with it.

Monkey Socialization: UC Berkeley Breakthrough

Monkey Socialization
At the University of Berkeley, they took a dozen or so of monkey families and had them live in one environment (neighborhood if you will).
One monkey, called Jeem, that had grown-up with Alpha parents that were the obvious leaders of another monkey community was relied upon to teach these other monkeys how to wash their fruit in natural running water before eating. Sure enough, all the monkeys soon followed with the fruit that was given to them all. It became the norm (the standard).
A forward thinking professor at Berkeley then implemented his partly trendy idea that centered around teaching monkeys to smoke – as it is cute and popular with the public and would help in raising grant money from the old money planted in tobacco interests. This experiment would also focus around social behavior.
All the monkeys were given cheap packs of cigarettes to smoke. It was normal for them to sit out in front of their sleeping habitats and smoke these cigarettes and chatter.  Jeem was given a pouch of tobacco that was an organically grown and was taught to roll his own cigarettes independent of the standard monkey order and outside of its environment. He was then let back into the environment each day with two to three of these hand rolled organic tobacco cigarettes.
The chatter became outrageous and almost crazed from the other monkeys as Jeem continued to smoke his hand rolled organic tobacco cigarettes and the others continued to only know about their cheap pack of cigarettes. The other monkeys became obsessed with Jeem. And each time Jeem lit up his hand rolled organic tobacco cigarettes they chattered and chattered – hoping squeaky wheel would get the grease and something would alter Jeem's behavior – for what they didn't even know.
Later Jeem was given the same organic tobacco but in a pack. And the others learned to shut up and the whole thing just went away --- Except the fact that it was all recorded and documented and made for an interesting grant on monkey socialization and behavior. The president even read about it.

The Doors - GLORIA - (dirty version); Kim Kardashian Vs. Jim Morrison: (People Who Think They're Better) ...



The only thing I do NOT LIKE about the DOORS is that it seems like they perceive themselves as like they are better than EVERYBODY ELSE = like they are intellectually built superior to even the most elite academics (and elite gossipers who can wreck a person's image as equally as the DOJ). But if we were to consult a Harvard School of Buisness professor about the long term global impact on pop consciousness and bottom line long term $helf life of Kim Kardashian (the most famous and dangerous person in America right now) and Jim Morrison (dead @ 27 in 1971) = the better bet is probably with

He stood in the kitchen prepping for an omelet featuring hot peppers (given to him by the singer songwriter from Trout Swimming or Blind Man's Holiday -one of those upper state NY bands- now turned organic table farmer) from  the local farmer's market; garden tomatoes; left over grilled pork loin. As he did the prep work - pulling out the skillet and extra virgin Italian olive oil from Jimmy Sunseri's he started the pee pee dance. "Oh no I really gotta go." He raced down the cellar stairs in the 1920's style bathroom with the toilet against the wall he relieved himself and bars of Ode to Joy sounded in his head. Then, about five minutes later while continuing to cook his breakfast = "it" really started to burn.
 
As a simple twist of fate though, eating the hot peppers in the omelete did not seem hot at all.

With the right Hollywood savvy, cool, experienced Exec we're working on a documentary film that's about more than half way complete that will tell a nice solid story to help explain How this Happened (and some other good stuff things w/ the Rusted Root of Pittsburgh) --- And, well, can happen for you too. .. (We even have Julia Allison of Bravo's "big hit" new show Miss Advised and a bunch of pop culture relevant other people on film for you = And, we have diagrams, pie charts and statistic graphs = all kinds of good stuff to help to a nice little nonchalant story to make you happy). It's gonna be real professional but hopefully not too professional and serious that it's no fun and too Linked-In.

Stunning & Cool DC HomeFront + Edgeworth Police Dept. BackHome

I find this DC home front near Dupont Circle stunning & cool - although the statues ontop of the pillars are a bit ostentatious. At this time, let me give a shout-out to Edgeworth Police Dept. I never FB while away as a golden rule however I'm confident back home the Edgeworth Police Dept is doing a great job = Me having called them before leaving saying "you have our key, you know our Guardian passcode, these our the lights we're leaving on, here's my cell, no one's to be in the house."

@ The White House this Summer Morning

A Secret Service Agent Guy gave Parker Bean so much attention in front of the back of White House right before we placed Parker in his stroller & took this "action" photo of him trying to get the Layfette Park squirrels. Yeah, the squirrels may be safe but I gave SecretServiceAgentGuy a list of people who tried to make trouble for me over the past few years. (Hey, why not, WH Admins do it & it all comes from the same $ pot).

Close Up The Honky-Tonks (Avalon Ballroom 69)



It was after his show in a Pittsburgh spot that Jeff Tweedy and I over Diet Coca-Cola cans that he was preaching to me about Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Bros. Now, I had just seen Jeff Tweedy w/ his back-against-the-wall at a place called Metropol which Ween said "next time in Pittsburgh why don't you just book us in a urinal in the bus station because the sound would be better and we wouldn't have to stop after midnight for some "fill in the blank" dance night" = And, well, Jeff took LEMONS and TURNED THEM INTO LEMONADE w/ GRAY GOOSE vodka. Best rock'n set ever ... My wife and I still recall this doll of a female local reporter / journalist there for dance-night and was like "who is this Wilco?!". .. Yeah, the same Jeff Tweedy / Wilco / reporter / journalist that told me Gram Parsons Avalon Ballroom 69 was a littlle like the "Neon cosmic Americana of that Coca-Cola machine" we were standing nearby = "never going out acorss life-on-the-road = or well, everyday, on earth -  for that matter." ... So, just until last spring when "Bear" from the Grateful Dead Road-Crew finally let us al take a listen to the double CD = two nites of Gram and The Flying Burrito Bros opening for The Grateful Dead San Francisco 1969 did I listen. And, not to sound too much like an archival GEEK but, "wow."

President Obama and Bob Dylan: Medal of FREEDOM

President Obama placing one of the USA's highest honors upon Bob Dylan = The Medal of FREEDOM.


And here is Dylan's "You Ain't Going Nowhere" = a rendition by The Byrds (Columbia Records) on Playboy After Dark from 1968.
(Columbia felt this Dylan tune and others like Nothing Was Delivered that the Byrds also did on SweetHeart of the Rodeo may have better chances to reach top of billboard charts if covered by radio friendly Byrds as Dylan's voice was weird. Keith Richards best friend Gram Parsons of the Everly Bros. Is the lead singer and influence for the Byrds at this time).

Yeah, I wonder how many times both Obama & Dylan were told "You Ain'T Going Nowhere" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q21BF38W3Gs&feature=related

Ashes And Fire (Live Acoustic Version)



Just some real nice simple words and music here. .. (and on the whole album, really - And, well, RYan's career really = thanks to Frank Spadafora for turning me on to him as he also did w/ Ween and a lot of great music).

As he stared past the fire
The hunger to leave, well it gnawed
His poor heart alive
Her skin smelled like black cherry blossom perfume
The sailboats they all sailed by
And a river, she cried

And the wind was suddenly sweeter
Than Rossevelt pie
The windows broke out
And the cigarette smoke was drifting by
The bums on the bowery
The were swallowed in lights
As cars rumbled by in the night
Screaming 'run for you life'

With cool and silvery eyes
And a heart that was fit for design
Drowned in a river of tears
A river she cried
Left her with a heart
Made of ashes and fire

One day there was a silence
It was through the town
There was no reason to speak
So no one made a sound
Her eyes were indigo

Her cats were all calico
And the sailboats
They all sailed by
And a river she cried

With cool and silvery eyes
And a heart that was fit for design
Drowned in a river of tears
A river she cried
Left her with a heart
Made of ashes and fire

Ashes and fire...
Ashes and fire...
Ashes and fire...
