JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR IS CONFIRMED BY U S SENATE

Well all of the Chicano women, or at least that's what they claimed to be - most didn't look like it, were celebrating the confirmation of Justice Sonya Sotomayor to the highest court in the land by a vote of 68 to 31 or something with Ted Kennedy not present. As I said in Word, I guess I would have voted for the Justice just as a show of solidarity with President Obama and to show that I'm not a racist, even though I have serious disagreements with many of her oppinions. As you know she is replacing the liberal Justice Sutor, and so the complexion of the Court will have changed very little. I imagine the conservatives are reserving their really big guns for when one of their own desides to retire. Then you're going to see all Hell break loose.

George Sardini or Sandini or whatever- - went into that women's health club and began firing on Tuesday night. You've been hearing all about it in the news. This psycho had been blogging all over the internet but apparently nobody read him. So you know it's possible to be out on the internet and still be ignored. The cops say that even were his writings to have come to the attention of law enforcement, arresting him for just "words" would be problematical, as strange as that sounds, and getting an arrest warrent from a judge would be darn near impossible. Now we're just left with trying to psycho analyze a Looney Tune. This man who says that he's been rejected by thirty million women. Well, I've been rejected by thirty-one million women, so what do you think of that? I think in the future our society will have evolved screening techniques to pick up on this sort of abberant behavior so that it doesn't graduate to the point of action.

Batula Massud was a Talliban leader-terrorist who was bombed in a customary flight by one of our drone planes, which regularly carry out bombing raids on Pakistani civillians. Only this time they hit pay dirt. Hopefully by this act we will show Pakistan that it's just the extremists we are after and we only want to get back at the Talliban for what they did to us on 9 - 11. Of course we have heard reports many times of how we got their "second or third in command" in some raid. How many "seconds" do they have, anyhow? Hopefully life will be a little safer now in the world.

Laura Lynne and Ula Lee or whoever, those two Oriental women who were sentensed to hard labor by North Korea were brought back in a jet safe, by former President Bill Clinton. I would suppose that conservatives would somehow manage to find something negative in this as they do virtually all the accomplishments of the Obama administration. You would think these people like Rush could just be happy these two women are back on US soil, but you know how Rush Limbaugh's mind works. When he sees the success of good deeds of an opponet, he becomes hyper sarcastic to the point of being non-sensical. I'm not saying he's done that this time because to be frank I haven't had him on since the incident but I'm going on past experiance.

That Jesus “movie screenplay” thing which heads the "Karmic Suicide" blog now - has almost comedic aspects to it. And treads into ground previously untrod anywhere. Such as getting your signals and showing up at the wrong place, or exploring the things a person can do when driven by an overwhelming sense of guilt and the unintended consequences. There are several “bits” I left out because the thing was already long. In the rape scene, Pantera is given a condom by Mary the mother of Jesus and she says “If you have to then use this” and Pantera examines the packet and the writing on it says “Courtesy New York City school system” and he throws the condom down in a rage and says “Now!”. There is the scene where the three wise men can’t locate Jesus and give up and decided to go back to Jerusalem and make a very generous donation to the Jewish Temple. And one of them says, “Perhaps it will assure us a very generous reward in the after life”. There is the scene where King Herod writes Pilate an urgent letter saying “Have nothing to do with this innocent man and I urge in the strongest possible terms his immediate acquittal” and the letter is hand delivered to Pilate by special currier. There is the scene from “Day of Triumph” where Judas is in the howling mob yelling at Pilate and Judas calls out “Free the Nazarene”. And then there is the scene where Jesus is with the Roman guards during the night and they put a burlap bag over his head and begin to pummel him and then they say, prophesy for us, who hit you?” And Jesus points “You - - - and then You - - and then You”.

This movie is sheer originality however there are other inputs to the story and if you are well read you will pick up on them. There’s a couple of references to “I Judas” the novel, and the influence of an otherwards unidentified Jesus movie (the scene with King Herod) and there are allusions to “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “The Di Vinci Code” and even a bit of “Schindler’s List” as well as that Luigi Coscioli website, and the lyrics of “Jerusalem” by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and a little Harry Potter, and a legond of the founding of Nazereth. There is that “Judas” dream I had in early 1988 in modified form, and the “Barrabus” movie and of course that famous “Rush Limbaugh” skit.
