The big news of this morning January 28, 2008 is that Ted Kennedy has endorsed the Obama campaign and the reason he is doing so is because of the under handed and over-bearing tacticts used by the Billery team. Ted Kennedy has asked Bill Clinton to styfle his remarks but was un-heeded. This is a type of deliverance for Obama. He doesn’t like the Jesse Jackson comparison as a “localized Black candidate”.
Mit Romney may just outlast all his competition in terms of money. One wonders whether in the after-life people earn moral credits or capital that they are free to “spend” when the situation presents itself, in order to prevail over their enemies.
Last night I had a dream which “turned me around” on this whole God thing. I was asking myself questions like how do we live up to the perfection of Jesus Christ, and how do we separate what the real Jesus did as opposed to those things that have become mythologized over the centuries and melinia. All those bets are off. Last night I had a dream which even while it was going on morally disgusted and sickened me. But it was after the dream was over that I heard a conversation with Oscar talking in the halls with someone. I’m not going to share this conversation but let’s call it a real eye opener if true, if this too wasn’t part of the dream. Let’s just say it’s a case of God hitting me below the belt and I’m not going to play in his ball park any more. As far as I am concerned God has forfeited the game. My state of mind could be likened to five or so events that occurred in late July of 1991 and early August. One on July 14th. 1991 and three in late July and one on August 9th. 1991. At that time I mind was so messed around with I considered suicide on Sunday night August 11th. 1991 right after a movie about the early Beatles. There is a key line where I stopped rolling tape. It was something like “That group is going nowhere, but at least we are going- - Somewhere”. This is when Stewart Sutcliffe was in the group and they spent a lot of time hanging around graveyards posing. - - - You know how people say “It’s gone” referring to an object no longer there, or “He’s gone” when a person has just died. We tend to use the IS construction rather than the HAS construction. In Shakespherian times people did the same thing with the cord “Come”. So you have lines like “The idea of March are come”, to which the Sooth Sayer says to Julius Caesar, “Aye Caesar, but not gone”. (Selah)
