Tiger, The New Bone To Pick

   I used to say to my husband what a shame it was that the beauty of Marilyn Monroe and the brilliance of Hemmingway and the un-known'it' of the shiny souls that are tragic stars;Why couldn't they find help?: Where were their friends?; Where were the managers and agents? I call it the Van Gogh Syndrome, where bright stars have to burn out; Theirs is a life of exquisiteness and tragedy, and many say that these two go hand in hand. Before it became trendy to seek re-hab, ala Betty Ford, (Who should have at least been nominated for the Nobel Prize, as well); My husband says that Tiger Woods is a pertfect example of the spiritual barreness that comes with child notoriety and wealth and power. An anecdotal phrase comes to mind, that I don.t personally agree with:L "Oh!How the mighty have fallen". What a horrible and cynical sign of the times. There is also another old Slovak Saying: You can be just as miserable being rich. Meaning, there is no special trophy of enlightenment for those existing without.     I don't think any of these apply in T

Tiger, The New Bone To Pick

           (CONT'D)With all the mangement and sponsors and money involved; How naive is the realization the guy isn't cutting loose somehow. Remember he has had a life, before puberty, of total planning, concentration and female dominance. I think that all those comped parties were well attended by body guards of Tiger's franchises and his sponsors. There is no part of his life that is not orchestrated and defined, or arbitrary. In these days of huge negative publicity status, this is  just another. Perhaps his managers want out of prior contracts, perhaps he wants a renewed and differetlly defined marriage agreement, perhaps he wants to change or up the stakes in whatever media/money world that he is in. His handlers are very very saavy and one can best believe this is all a well-thought- out chess match. No worries. It is far from degrading to Tiger Woods. Behind the scenes, all the good little party girls and comped consultants played their roles with immaculate inspiration.     What is degrading is how the media can count on the willingness of the hoi-poloi to take pleasure in destroying success, take pleasure in a rabid and frenetic crush to the dying flesh,their satisfaction with thinking that the hard times will get better  with the remorseless and unwilling ability to accept beauty for its own sake. To keep our heroes with their  mistakes and to see our own humanity in them. The whole thing hurt alot of  people. His wife, I doubt that she wants to be me. and live on $6,000 a year in a trailer park.    I used to witness these beautiful people, and  be asked to attend  the media worlds of money games and marketting strategies.   Here, here! To Tiger. The powers that be are already clamoring for him to return. Here, Here! I say !" It's just another easy putt.....and each one a winning negotiation..

MORE JOBS,HAPPIER TIMES?

Obama just created 30,000 new jobs. The certainty of these opportunities remains a concern. Turn on your mute buttons and watch the eyes of our President. How scary is that. Governing by public opnion is not the same as policy-making. And, by the way, Taliban cannot begin to be affected or approached this way. So what is the deal? Fire more generals?

Checks and Balances

On my next posting, I will tell you why, within the context of, " Decisions that really make a positive difference";Why Bush's declaring catsup as a food group was a good thing. This is not satirical. Without the proper context of informed media reporting,any one can be made to look like Humptey Dumptey...But it sure beats Alice In Wonderland! Sarah Palin, please learn the King's English, would ya!
 
White Supremists and Obama have more in common than one would think. They are both entities unto themselves and would both do anything to not have an Afro-American as a President. The only thing worse than this, according to the last two doctrines of  Conservative extremists ;   Are the most-and-last-to-most despised members of society. Second last are women;  The last being  Jewish. I know this from infiltrating a large Bundt and also Wasington. I still say, "A Liberal is a Coservative that has not been mugged". When I studied poli-sci and could not reconcile the breach between Voting and Bi-Partisanship;(Not even having space in my head to understand why this is different from the Tories and Wigs), My heart broke....I love this country. Look at the ideas we can exchange! Ideas. ideas, ideas. This Country started as a great idea. It is a new experiment. Let us keep it going. Certain ideas include:
Palin is called into place to scare us into a collective deep-sigh of relief, as she gets her talk-show and Oprah is welcommed into politics. Politics is not government. Whoever controls the media, controls. Two old buddies from Chicago.  What are the odds?Where did the endless campaign money come for this President?
 
Last week I heard GMA refer to Sarah Palin as, "Easy on the eyes". Is that why Ann Coulter is called wildly opinionated instead of educated and perceptive?
 
Do something scary. Watch Obama's eyes with the mute button on.
 
I digress. If this country were not racist, Obama would not have won the election. In the  inner sanctum of the true cultural heirarchy of Blacks, not Black America, Obama is not  even thought of as an Afro-American. Ooops! What an eerie silence followed his inauguration. The closest that this country ever came to a real person that happened to be Afro-American and consider the Presidency was the Rev. Jackson. Or should I say , a learned, effective, imperfect, well-liked politician, meaning to do well, with a keen understanding of issues...his skin was too dark.
 
The diversions of Palin and Oprah will effectively erase any memory of Hillary. When Liberals finally realize that the bubble has burst a long time ago, this despot will be firmly in place. He moves slowly, sweetly snd surely into Muslim ideals. How he accomplishes this is not his concern. From overseas newspapers, rights of American women have been backburnered; Literature has been censored through the schools; And, the news is non-news.
 
LBJ said,"Never govern by public opinion". JFK put pride into my heart. That America is gone, never to return. There are so many intricacies involved with the Executive Office. And what about the Court and the Legislature. What about Referandum,(Asking the people). These were all put into place by the Founding Fathers. These things were drilled into me in elementary school and oh! how I embraced the genius of it all. Obama is courting the Latino vote now. The America we knew is long gone. The traditional American only makes-up 35% of registered voters. If only the new demographics could learn how beautiful and wonderful  this country was, it would not be so happy to be dumbed-down. I remember being taught Spanish in 2nd and 3rd grade, and oh!How I loved that, too. No more can following generations expect something better to pass on to the next. They are all kept pretty busy making a buck.
 
 Most so called traditionalists and immigrants were not even born yet to remember all the checks and balances. Taken out of context, this could sound racist. My words are meant to glorify flavor and opportunity. That was this Country's strength.  Do not be blinded by the tarnished glitter. We will print more. Do not let yourselves be "dumbed-down". Watch and learn "statistics". Some men govern by dividing and conquering. Some by keeping the masses in a constant state of confusion. Some by saying they will hand out gifts.
GEEEZ! Obama is not smart-enough to have a healthy political mind; But he is way too smart to have gotten and to stay where he is.
