Ma! We’re All Crazy Now…or, Cynthia: Go Home!

Mia Lee? (Li??)  What a very strange looking woman to put on TV.  I’m not sure I can supply appropriate animal or monster movie comparisons to describe this scalpel product.  I think her plastic surgeon should have his license revoked.  And how on this earth does Dr. Phil keep pulling it off?  I thought for sure that someone would have kicked-the-shit-out-of-him by now; and, I’ve even gone on record saying so. 

Brother Paul really managed to piss-me-off today when he suggested that the U.S. had the blessing of the U.N. to go into Iraq?!  Damn!  I missed this somehow…(This, in response to Russia’s invasion of Georgia and the hypocritical American response.)  Oops!  Brother Paul suggests that I am the hypocrite and that my patriotism is in question!  I told him that the true patriot doesn’t blindly swallow what his government feeds him – but always, always, always questions taxation without representation.  I guess revisionist history can cut both ways…especially if you live in Texas.

Brother Paul also suggested that I start the next American Revolution.  I told him that I didn’t want to die like Jesus (which was tongue-in-cheek – because I’m not so sure that that whole resurrection thang was what we’ve been led to believe it was) – but I offered up Keith Olberman as a sacrificial lamb and revolutionary leader instead.  Keith is far more eloquent, articulate and-a-hell-of-a-lot better dresser than I am.  Plus I agree with just about everything he says and much more compelling than a two-thousand-year-old dead dude.

I also  tend to agree with Daniel Quinn (author of Ishmael).  Daniel divides the human species into Leavers and Takers – which I think provides the perfect dichotomy from which to judge our fellow man.  Yep!  I think we gotta judge each other, just like the good book tells us – except that Danie Quinn and I want to judge folks along the lines of those who wish to leave the world a better place, and, those who don’t give a shit about those they share the planet with, or, those to follow.

If Brother Paul read this site – he’d know that I am afraid that the revolution will start and stop without me.

But Friend Cynthia does read this website – and now I understand that she is a Missing Person…

Friend Cynthia called me last week saying that she was quite tired of L.A. and its many, many, people.  She said she had a friend in Boondocks, Oregon – so I suggested she go there.  I guess she must have – because her boyfriend called me to say that she had disappeared – she apparently left my cell phone # behind.  Go home Cynthia!  I am too old to be involved in the drama of others and lingering teenage angst.

Like David Gilmour sings:

“There’s no way outta here, when you come in you’re in for good.”  Unless you check out via suicide – but then who will you wake up inside?
