Have Donald Trump run their nomination like a season of Celebrity Apprentice.

Lesson for the Day
Imagine if Hunter Thompson had stayed alive and been able to start a blog. Lesson: Never blow your brains out, things can change for the better.

Jon Stewart, Colbert, gone, bk politics is no longer funny
Politics is no longer funny, Facebook is filling up with Zuckerbergs, the lake is turning green from all the people driving here to see the lake and leaving car exhaust behind, it's flooding during a drought. Things change but life goes on and when the fog lifts, it's a whole different place.
"I can change I can change I can change"
Me too.

The roots of our Mania
.
They've taken
the concept of forgiveness way out of proportions. Under the fundamentalist belief system, God
will ALWAYS FORGIVE, so as long as you pray afterwards, you can pretty much get
away with anything, which was probably not the original intent of the doctrine,
but it is what we are living with today.
American Christians
believe you just take it to the Lord and ask forgiveness, then do whatever your
pastor tells you to do for “penance” and all is reconciled.
Hmm, sounds familiar. Sounds an awful lot like Confession, which is
a Sacrament in the Catholic Church, one of many aberrations cooked up by the
Vatican to find out what the peasants were up to.
No. Taking it to the Lord is not enough. There are thousands of other people in your community
affected by your crimes and we live on the planet too.
Oh god I wish
these fundamentalists would shut up.
****
Hmm, within seconds after putting up this post, my internet connection crashed, just like I noticed the last time I put up a post about the Vatican lie. So I posted this on Facebook,

Look at what I just found
[Just Googled my name and found a Letter to Editor I wrote that ran in the SF Examiner in 1998 re medical marijuana activist Dennis Peron running for Governor, and that Republicans are not real capitalists if they do not embrace the burgeoning marijuana industry for what it could do for the California economy. Published 4:00 am, Thursday, January 8, 1998.]

Told you I was a Republican. I'm more of a Socialist Republican.
Hmm.
RELATED STORY sort of
Lungren's put-down of GOP rival Dennis Peron fails test - Attorney General Dan Lungren makes fun of Dennis Peron running for governor as a Republican, saying Peron "has smoked more marijuana than even I thought."
The truth is Lungren is abandoning Republican principles with his threat to close once again the cannabis buyers clubs. Marijuana is a product. Peron and the buyers clubs are meeting a market demand. Lungren is using the power of the state to prevent an industry from developing and to keep California capitalists from developing a product that is in high demand.
What kind of a Republican would do that?
Peron is running against Lungren in the June Republican primary. Anyone can cross over [party lines] to vote for him. Lungren feels threatened, and so lashes out with invective and innuendo.
Lungren needs to take another look at the potential in the marijuana business. The entire region of Northern California would boom if the state allowed its residents to develop this cash crop that is in high demand all over the world. We have the Wine Country in Napa / Sonoma. Why can't we have the Marijuana Country in Humboldt / Mendocino?
I thought Republicans believed in capitalism.
To twist Lungren's own invective back on him: He must be drinking too much liquor. He's not alert enough to see a thriving industry that would bring the equivalent of a gold rush to a depressed region in his own state.
He's reacting with resentment against his own delusion that people using medical marijuana are just "getting stoned" like hippies 20 years ago - just the way alcoholics hold onto old resentments.
Peron is the real Republican running in the June primary for governor. Lungren wants to call out a militia-like police force to keep sick people from getting their medicine at Peron's club. Sounds more like a Nazi - or at least a Communist - than a Republican.
