One thing Rush Limbaugh got his knickers all in a twist about yesterday morning was this whole thing about how Google is now the "tool of the Obama administration". This one is right up there with "advertizers don't support whackos like me because they're all run by feminists". But from there he went on to critique his beloved Apple computer. Twenty years ago when Apple computer got about five percent of the market for P C's Rush was loyal to them. Of course Apple screwed up market wise by being "proprietary" and people didn't want that but went with Microsoft, which was alltogether smarter about the whole thing of license sharing. But is Apple now losing its magic touch? Could be. Even while Steve Jobs was still alive Apple was known for its "dud" interviews when this "big announcement' was in the works and roomers were flying about some stunning new product and it's turn out to be nothing. Now it's only worse. Apple has not come out with ANY new product, apparently in any area- - for some 270 days. (someone took the trouble to count them) And companies like Sansung and Android and what have you come up with a new phone or device every few months or so. And now we're waiting for this whole host of expected new products from Apple and Rush is giving us a "heads up" that we won't be seeing anything NEW from Apple till at least December and maybe not untill early next year. Rush Limbaugh took the time to catalog the list of Apple excuses about why a certain promised product was not on the market yet saying "It's an order backlog or shipping backlog' or what have you? I have referred to Steve Jobs as the "Walt Disney" of the Computer world. That would be funny if Disney Corp ever went into a major slump. They never have- - not in fifty or sixty years. It's always been a straight line onward and upward. But the computer world is a fast moving business. I told Luan last night I would probably get a new computer system something but most likely it wouldn't be till 2014, and by then who knows what kind of new innovations will be offered to the public. They say "Windows 8 is having trouble catching on and businesses don't like it". But next year what is strange now- may indeed become the Norm.
Stephanie Miller has
covered a plethora of topics today. Yesterday
all day people were crowing about President Obama’s new liberal “assertiveness”
kind of thumbing his nose at the Republicans.
For instance Susan Rice may no longer be Sec of the UN but yesterday the
President appointed her to be National Security secretary, perhaps an even more
important position. At the same time
Samantha Powers was named for something.
But the Israel lobby doesn’t like Powers for some reason. Stephanie mentioned that Chuck Grassley and
the President don’t have phone conversations any more. I never knew they did. Every time I think of the name “Grassley” I
think of a bovine creature. I guess
Grassley is bull headed. Of course they
were talking about how we need Monsanto and their GMO seeds because “We need to
produce more grain now” and yet the majority of grain is planted and grown not
for people but for Animals to graze on so that there is no shortage of burgers
for the fast food chains to keep burgers at “market prices” as Rush Limbaugh
once said, in a different context. But
if we went back to grass fed beef we wouldn’t have to give up our beef and we
could still avoid the peril of genetically modified foods. Now Mario claims Pope Francis said that dumpster diving may make a comeback. Because "It's a sin against the poor to leave food on your plate". Tom asked me last night after me and John Powell had polished off our chicken, "Are you two always this hungry?" and we said, "Basically, yes". Stephanie Miller was playing a Vikki Carr
song- - but she’s a Torino so she has OK cosmic credentials. There was lots of roomanations yesterday
about “school teachers, their sexual frustrations, their thread bare
lives”. No wait, that’s from a
movie. Anyhow- - Nicole Sandler says
school teachers are underpaid and too often referred to as “Union thugs” by
people like Gov Christie, whom the media wants us made aware “has not abandoned
his right wing conservative politics.
That’s just wishful thinking”.
OK. Nicole wants us made aware
that teachers need to be free to be “creative in how they instruct the kids” to
keep the learning process going.” And
there was some school teacher who delivered an emotional resignation speech
because she just felt so constrained by this “teach to the test” mentality of
today’s schools. I can tell you if the
test is kosher. Wanna know how? If the MEAN average is significantly below
the MEDIAN figure- - the test is fundamentally flawed. It’s just that simple. Take my word for it. Now Stephanie is talking about how the
Freedom of Information act is revealing all of these letters Obama Care bashers
have written- - asking for their OWN funds.
Are we at the bottom of the page?
OK I guess this is the last line.
A big story of
yesterday was Paris Jackson’s suicide attempt.
The last thing she did was doing a video on techniques on applying
make-up. She also tweeted the lyrics of
“Yesterday”, which song ironically she owns the publication rights too since
she inherited these as part of her father’s estate. We’ll just pass on shall we say “genetic
questions” right now. After all if Will
Horton can get it up, then maybe Michael can, too. Just because your father was into muscle
building doesn’t mean the son automatically inherets bulging bicepts. I think you all know where I’m headed with
this. Of course when you go from having
to put a paper bag over your head when you appear in public, to a rather sudden
“initiation” at speaking at a major funeral, you know you have to grow up
fast. There was one book on Elvis,
“Elvis and Gladys” where it said that after his mother’s death- - Elvis became
much wilder in his escapades with women than he ever was before. Actually I think there was cross polinization
between that book, and the book Red and Sonny West put out. When I officially moved out on July 17th
1988 in what some might call my official “Divorce” from Christianity- - I still
leaned on a little bit of the “hair of the dog” to use an alcoholism
analogy. By the way I figured out that
Last.FM wants my money and that’s why they’ve been blocking my stations. But individual tracks like “Hair of the Dog”
by Nazareth - - are still available.
Also I watched “Kill the King” by Ron Dio. Of course Ron Dio is from the “Colors’ planet
along with Richi Blackmore, obviously.
But there was that group - - album by “The Masters of Reality” I purchased
in early May of 1989 - - that had a track on it called “Kill the King’ but it
wasn’t the same track. Ironically my
last several vinyl albums were the latest releases with the best recording
fidelity. “Totally Naked” by the
Talking Heads, was of course the very last vinyl record album I purchased - -
in August of 1989. But not only is
there one large page full of available tracks- - but there is also a whole
other page of tracks I looked at, of available songs that still play. Now they are working on some “breast milk”
flavored candy - - Stephanie wants to inform us. Of course people like me and Stephanie aren’t
real big on newborn babies, or as Stephanie puts it “babies really suck!”
Let’s suck in a breath
and try to get back on track. Mario was
on yesterday and he said that Taco Bell employees have a habit of spitting on
their taco shells, or even licking their taco shells before serving them to
their customers. Mario says “I would not
go to one of these fast food places because we all know what goes on
there”. I was going to do a whole thing
on my early period at the apartment.
(It’s been done) In the early
months there was a Wendy’s down the street that soon went out of business. Then there was a sandwich place at the corner
of Beach where I used to order up a Colt 45 beer, when I wasn’t drinking much
at all. This place, which was the same
strip mall as were the Wherehouse and Waldon Books, went out of business in
early 1989. Of course in time the
Wherehouse and Waldon Books went out of business. The Wherehouse was replaced by that Mattress
place and Waldon Books was replaced by that hip clothing place called “The
Zak”, with a “K”. No confirmation on where
Ringo’s son owns the place. But I used
to routinely bypass taco bell - - but in July of 1989 I began to make Taco Bell
part of my regular fast food rotation. And yesterday morning I had Rush Limbaugh
on. It’s a good idea to check in on the
asylum now and then. Kind of like JJ
Deverox might take a glance to see that the two year old little boy in his
care- isn’t about to break his neck, climbing up precariously on book
shelves. Limbaugh was rambling on madly
about a lot of thing but one thing that especially garnered his attention was
Michelle Obama’s speech being interrupted by gay heckelers. Don’t you just hate it when Rush Limbaugh
suddenly becomes a gay lover? Anyhow
these protestors were real jerk-offs and Michelle faced down this one heckler
head on saying ‘I’m not good at dealing with people like you, but if you want
to take the microphone go ahead- - I’m leaving”. At this point - - the crowd cheered the First
Lady on, and she was able to resume her speech.
The thing is- - President Obama is the best friend the gay lobby ever
had in the White House and everybody knows it.
I wonder if the protesters were hired - - “Hummm?”
I went out for coffee
yesterday at the ten o clock hour and got more bread pudding from Dora but only
one cup of coffee. We had hot dogs for
lunch and baked beans and coleslaw, but the portions were so tiny. We had orange slices for desert. I told you about Nicole Sandler, and I’ll
coment on the soap opera more when something definitive happens. Last night on “Criminal Minds” there was a
fixation on cutting out women’s tongues.
Yesterday Stephano told his assistant to get a knife and to “Do it” and
the guy says, “I know Officer Hernandez- - and I’m finding it hard to wrap my
head around all this”. At first I
thought maybe it was just slashing some4 hospital tube- - but then I got to
wondering whether he wanted the guy to cut up his face, but after last night I
wondered whether it wasn’t to be carried to a more grizzley connection by
cutting out his tongue. I don’t know how
the hell they’d show something like that.
I went for coffee in the afternoon.
I had David Cruise on after three.
Actually I had everything off- - and was out smoking and returned and
Bill was here just after three, and I decided to make coffee because I had been
feeling so sleepy – and then the housekeeper came in - - and then I turned on
the radio with David Cruise. I was
unclear exactly why he was so upset about the LA Unions.
We’re just working our
way through the standard backgrounds rotation, where we don’t use exactly the
same colors or sequence every time but try to stick to an overall pattern. This pattern here resembles and old Elektra
record label pattern, like with Queen I and albums by the Doors. Of course on the other machine my C: hard
drive was labeled Elektra, but that was an accident. This is June 6, 2013 and of course a D Day
anniversary. Jeopardy a couple of nights
had a question about Calais France, and some lighthouse with 273 steps to it
where you could get a stunning view of the whole area. This is the decoy site that General Patton
was in charge of, where the Germans thought we would be landing. It’s been less than a day since we’ve typed
and yet so much “stuff” has accumulated that needs to be reported on. Last night I slept well and got up at 6:07
and ran the coffee grounds through again and turned on Stephanie Miller. Will wonders never cease- - we actually got
our scrambled eggs and French toast before the other side did. Tom was surprised. Coffee was the last thing we got. We had oatmeal - - and I assume that’s
cinnamon that made the oatmeal off color - - but we didn’t have sugar for it.
