Howard Zinn Book I'm Reading..

I'm reading this fantastic book by my hero Howard Zinn. It's another awesome collection of his essays. Howard always gives it to you straight from the hip. Can you imagine the anarchy if Mr. Zinn were in charge of the reading cirriculum for high schools and colleges in this country. He exposes the truth of our so called "government by the people". Our congress and elected officials fall somewhere between used car salesmen and charlatan televangelist. He talks about the U.S. Military and all the lies, deception and murder for empire and profit that come out of the Pentagon. Our favorite House of Death. As always Howard Zinn takes you under the radar of the government controlled mass media in this country. Some of the pieces are a little older but still very timely as the Bush regime is still spreading american terrorism throughout the world. Maybe old Georgey Boy will figure out a way to pardon himself from all the bloodshed on his crony, greedy, and devilish little hands.

Sean Penn in MILK

We went to see the latest Gus Van Sant movie "MILK" last Friday night. It's always cool to see a film at The Esquire on Ludlow Ave. I know about the Harvey Milk story as we lived in San Francisco from 1991-1996, he is and will always be a hero in the city by the bay. Sean Penn's performance has to be in line for some sort of major award as he embodied the spirit of this great personality. The entire cast was spot on in this one. They threw in some actual footage of the 1970s so you get a real sense of the times. I'm proud to say that I've seen motion pictures at The Castro Theater and I actually got to touch the Aids Quilt. I have to give this movie an "A".

I don't want to leave out Josh Brolin as "Dan White" the man who murdered Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone. A perfect heel role to compliment his performance in "No Country for old Men", great role, so so movie. So do yourself a huge favor and check out this wonderful film and pay homage to Sean Penn.

Something Cool

I've always admired Anton Szandor LaVey. He has many sayings or quotes about the human or inhuman condition but this is the one that comes to mind most often. I've taken this quote to mean that we should enjoy the pleasures of the flesh as they seem to be the most human of all desires. As long as you have a willing partner and no harm comes to anyone why waste your time here on earth. Try to live life to it's fullest. The main thing is to live!
Human beings are conditioned by religion and television etc. to be repressed and oppressed when it comes to sex and creativity.
Live, learn and experience and leave some sort of positive legacy behind. Life is too short and God is an invisible friend who seems not to care about the human race. Use your own mind!!

A few words about our new President..

I've been listening to a lot of NPR when I get up about 10:00am. It's pretty informative, sometimes a little to central but what can I say I'm a lefty. Anyway, I've been keeping up with President Obama's cabinet appointees and I have to say this guy may end up being our best president ever. You just went through 8 years of the worst president in our empirical history and the entire world has paid the price. But I still have hope, Howard Zinn says that there is always hope for a better world, so I gotta go along with my hero. Now that someone with brains is coming into office, I think we still have to remember to do our own part to make the world a better place. Let's use Barack as the catalyst and kick start a new world. The country seems to be in the shithouse right now, but the last eight years have proven that we can make it against incredible odds. So who's with me?

Two great graphics

I have disagreements with people from time to time concerning God and Religion in general and I found this graphic that explains BLIND FAITH in all it's glory. When I use the word REASONING to describe the madness of the bible I get the funniest looks. There is no reason or proof to believe long dead dogma,but it is still the most profitable game in town. They get away without paying taxes, now that's the greatest miracle of them all.

So many people have died in the name of Jesus and God that this graphic seemed appropriate here. From the Crusades to the Inquisition to Bush and beyond. Religious leaders the world over have become the biggest serial killers in the history of mankind. The tadpoles must be rolling in their watery graves knowing what evolution has become.
