Ambassador Ryan Crocker: What you see is what you’ve got

Before today, I never heard of Ryan Crocker, former Ambassador to Pakistan. He is presently Ambassador to Afghanistan and has been there for the past ten years in some capacity. He was made an Ambassador in April, 2011.

During his interview with CNN host Candy Crowley, it is no wonder his name is not a household word. And it was not until he said, “…we’ve got to double down our efforts in Afghanistan” did it fully dawn on me his possible relationship to the chaos in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.

In my opinion, his overall demeanor and presentation as Ambassador to Afghanistan was (to be extremely polite) a disaster. As of this early evening, CNN has not released the tape.

The connoisseur ear
As with any connoisseur, when the applicable one of our five senses is satisfied, we are at peace with the event. Our nervous system rebels against all things inauthentic. At this time, I speak of the sense of hearing. I speak of hearing whirlwinds of words of propaganda from the American media and I am mindful of Langston Hughes who wrote:

"In the primitive world, where people live closer to the earth and much nearer to the stars, every inner and outer act combines to form the single harmony, life. Not just the tribal lore then, but every movement of life becomes a part of their education. They do not, as many civilized people do, neglect the truth of the physical for the sake of the mind. Nor do they teach with speech alone, but rather with all the acts of life. There are no books, so the barrier between words and reality is not so great as with us. The earth is right under their feet. The stars are never far away. The strength of the surest dream is the strength of the primitive world. This meant, I suppose, that where life is simple, truth and reality are one."

N.J. Gov. Christies’ veto on gay marriages bill

Gov. Christie said he wants the bill to be put on a ballot and voted on by the general public in November.

If I were a reporter in New Jersey and wanted to impress my editor, I would do some homework and write an article or series of articles on gay marriages. I would tell my editor this would be of public interest to voters as follows:

1. How long does the average gay marriage last?

2. What is the divorce rate by state?

3. What are the main reasons presented in court for the divorce?

4. What is the average household income? Average age, race and religion of partners?

5. Are there usually financial settlements in the divorce proceedings?

6. How many partners already have biological children and how many adopt? How is custody of the children decided? Will they have to go on welfare?

7. How many states have provisions for a gay marriage divorce and what are the criteria? (I just learned criteria is the plural of criterion)

8. I would try to insert the Civil Rights controversy if it does not throw my focal point off kilter.

After submitting my masterpiece to my editor, I will sit back and wait for my sure to come pay raise and inevitable promotions. My research and objectivity would be wildly acclaimed.

Presenting “Obama The Magnificent”

I have long had issues with the press and political pundits totally ignoring members of the Presidents’ cabinet.

Seldom, if ever, are we given the name of the cabinet member or head of the agency who actually issued a controversial proposal. To the press and pundits, it appears the controversial proposal is always created and personally issued by the President, aka Obama The Magnificent. I have noticed this practice occurring a great deal with pundits on AM radio.

In my opinion, the press and political pundits should identify and address, by name, the cabinet member or head of the agency directly responsible for their malcontent as follows:

Obama Wants High Gas Prices (Lisa Jackson/Ray LaHood)

Is the President considered a ‘bad administrator’ because it appears the inmates are running the asylum? Is he a bad administrator because he does not have checking mechanisms in place to review issues before they are made public? Is he considered by many to be a bad administrator due to their resolved racial issues?

The headlines read:
Fighters Intercept Drug-Carrying Cessna Near Air Force One

Here are a few excerpts:
SAN FRANCISCO — As Air Force One sat on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport this morning, the North American Aerospace Defense Command scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to intercept a small private plane that had invaded the airspace.

And
Agents interviewed the pilots before they were turned over to the Long Beach Police Department and arrested, an official said.

And
One law enforcement source told ABC News the plane was carrying 40 pounds of marijuana. Officials with the Long Beach Police Department did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request to confirm the type or quantity of the drugs.

Here are questions:
Too whom was the Cessna air plane registered? Where are pictures of the Black pilot in handcuffs being arrested? How much is his bond and when is his trial date? Has he hired a lawyer? Where is his home in the ghetto and how many illegitimate children does he have? Can’t wait to see his English challenged girl friend and mother talk about what a good man he is. I wanna know, damn it!

UPDATE
Pilot detained after straying into Obama's airspace
By Dan Weikel and Ari Bloomekatz, Los Angeles Times

Excerpt:
It was not clear who was piloting the Cessna, which according to federal records was manufactured in 1961. The plane's FAA registration lists the owner as David W. Major, 52, of Grover Beach, a town south of Pismo Beach in San Luis Obispo County.

And
Major holds a student pilot certificate issued in 2008, according to the FAA. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Rachel Maddow, teacher Par Excellence

As a former teacher, I can not compliment Ms. Maddow enough for the hard work and intelligent decisions she makes while preparing to air her nightly shows. There have been many times I have thought them to be flawless and, in my opinion, last evening was one of them. The various highly informative segments flowed seamlessly with the appearance of being effortless, a badge of honor for any teacher.

To Ms. Maddow, I write “Kudos” on her chalkboard and place a shiny red apple on her desk in appreciation.

Santorum does not lay golden eggs

Rick Santorum won three caucuses last night. He won without having a whole bunch of money.

Mr. Santorum won in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri and this has set MSM and the Americans Oligarchy on its hind legs. They have been headed off at the pass by the Calvary.

I am mindful of something Rush Limbaugh said the other week, (paraphrased) Those pushing for a Mitt Romney Presidency are only doing so to gain control of his vast financial empire.

In my opinion, this implies the three other contestants are too poor to get involved with: Ron Paul has no money to speak of, Santorum has even less and Newt Gingrich can only peddle influences. Question: If you were MSM and other components of the American Oligarchy, which one of the four candidates would you like to be your political goose capable of laying golden eggs? That bunch may send Mr. Romney to the poor house if he is not careful. And if he does become President, he is definitely going to have to share his wealth with other sharks in the water. In my opinion, that’s a given.

Political pundits making whole cloth
They become obsessed with one word or a quote taken out of context creating a garment so flawed you would be embarrassed giving it to the Salvation Army. It is exasperating to experience them making their case and wonder how could people thinking like that function in a modern society or even having graduated from a half-way decent high school. You can only pity and pray for their family and friends and thank the Gods in blissful reverence you are neither.

Super Pacs and Mainstream Media

It was last Thursday or Friday Rush Limbaugh said that Mainstream Media (MSM) has always been a Super Pac. This was an eye-opener for me! He went on to say Super Pacs are not new, they have always been around and used almost exclusively by our MSM. Of courses the name Super Pac was not used in those days.

This information suggest to me the 2010 landmark decision of Citizens United Vs. FEC only leveled the political playing field and I note the decision was rendered by a Republican dominated U.S. Supreme Court.

Prior to 2010, MSM was the hidden donor promoting a favored candidate and his agenda. A less favored candidate would be demonized and possibly destroyed due to a lack of resources. And with no meaningful access to a megaphone as big and as powerful as that of MSM, the defenseless opponent was like the preverbal snowball in hell, so to speak. He simply did not have a chance.

As things now stand and with the passage of ‘Citizens United’ chugging along full throttle, whomever the political media darling is can now be effectively challenged by the Super Pac of his opponent. There is, however, an irony in this situation: the Super Pac has to pay large sums of money before it can use the big and powerful megaphones of MSM.

I can not help but wonder how different our political scene would be if Howard Dean and John Kerry had Super Pacs back in the day. (Sigh) There is an old saying, “You can’t win’em all!”

P.S. I further note MSM had un-limited funds wherein private donors had limitations and other restrictions on their funds.

Bob Beckel farts on ‘The Five’ set

Last evening, Mr. Beckel had his sphincter muscle in the middle of his face and to my horror, expelled all of its contents while ranting about a recent speech of Rep. Allen West.

*Mr. Beckel appeared emotionally un-stable while pointing and shaking his finger both admonishing and advising Rep. West to stay in his (negro) place. To their credit, the other four panel members remained civil and rendered a masterful and highly sophisticated job of protecting their own reputations as well as those of their show.

I recently started watching Fox News on a regular basis after seeing host Neil Caputo interview Presidential candidate Herman Cain with effortless respect. Later I saw Presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul get the same respect and shortly after that, I thought I was in Objective Heaven when I discovered Judge Napolitano consistently rendering un-biased accounts of Dr. Pauls’ campaign.

Enter Bob “Ol' Sphincter face” Beckel. Sad.

P.S. In my opinion, what Mr. Beckel did was analogous to the seventh grader farting in class as the other students, with lightening speed, head for the door; desks and chairs in their path be damned!

China puts one more nail in Americas’ coffin?

Happy hour came early for me yesterday after listening to Rush. This kind of information makes me throw up my hands in horror at the topics discussed during this Presidential primary season.

Why Apple Can't Make iPhones in America

Excerpt:
They have, at one factory, 230,000 employees. One factory: 230,000 employees. Most of them live in dormitories on the site of the factory. There's a hospital, there are kitchens.

And
They have 230,000 employees in one factory. They work six days a week, 12 hours a day. They earn the equivalent of 17 US dollars a day, and they are plum jobs in China.

And
They could fill 3,000 new jobs a day, based on applications...…(and) they were able to fill 8,700 engineer openings -- not assembly line workers, but engineering jobs -- in 15 days. It is said in the story it would take a US company, with all the legal hurdles and everything, nine months to find that many.

Look y’all! Dirty linen!

In my opinion, Ron Paul has been shunned by the press due to his labor intensive washing of Americas’ dirty linen in public and the good people of South Carolina voted on Saturday to put a face on our dirty linen in the personhood of Newt Gingrich.

Men and women of Southern heritage have the most amazing and subtle ways of exposing people. They know what to say, how to say it and have impeccable timing as to when to say it. And what they have to say is analogous to the old saying, “...so high you can’t jump over it, so low you can’t crawl under it and so wide you can’t get around it!” There is nothing Southerners know better than ‘po white trash’ when they see it.

Friday Jan. 21...

Lurking in the atmosphere of a heavily draped Southern living room is the un-disputed knowledge Newt is a lying, cheating scoundrel. Amid the background is the gentle plucking of a banjo as men quietly drink mint juleps and women exchange whispers behind their open fans. Ever so often they take time to smile and nod at one another thereby acknowledging their soon to be strategic influence in the re-election of Pres. Obama.

If I were a political pundit having the job to defend and promote the electability of Newt to be President of the United States of America, I would consider this a good time to take sick live or an early vacation. My mental health would be my first priority. I would neither write nor show my face anywhere for awhile.

Newt Gingrich wins South Carolina primary

A short wish list

Upon hearing Pres. Obama singing a few bars of the Al Green song, *“Let’s stay together” and Presidential candidate Herman Cain singing the John Lennon song **“Imagine”, I once again wished I wore another hat. If I were in the music publishing business, I would seize the opportunity to combine the two singers. I would find a way!

It has been a long wish of mine to have a charity affair featuring Tucker Carlson as Rudolfo and Rachel Maddow as Mimi in a production of La bohème. By the time they had finished the last scene, the roof of the theater will have collapsed due to the thunderous applause.

- (Ka-POW!!) Wake up, nigger!

Should Blacks set Pres. Obama free?

I would suggest there are few Blacks who would deny the fact President Obama has fought a good fight as the first Black President of the United States. I am one who feels he is and has been living in the belly of the beast all his life.

Racism in America has become an art form with the ambiguity of the Mona Lisa smile. Those of us having jobs of tremendous prestige and responsibilities are acutely aware of its varied subtleties and off’times capricious areas of manifestation. We know the toil it takes on us, our family and friends. We know the land mines that we have to constantly and consistently avoid as it gnaws away at our authority invoking both pity on one hand and scorn on the other.

And I would further suggest there are few who would deny the President has done the best he could under the circumstances and would say with all the love in our hearts, “Well done, my good and faithful servant,” it is now time for you to get some rest. No more rough sides of mountains to climb. The world will continue to turn.

The C.E.O. in Politics
By DAVID BROOKS
Excerpt:
First, successful presidents tend to be emotionally secure. They have none of the social resentments and desperate needs that plagued men like Richard Nixon. Instead they were raised, often in an aristocratic family, with a sense that they were the natural leaders of the nation. They were infused, often at an elite prep school, with a sense of obligation and responsibility to perform public service.

And
In sum, great presidents are often aristocrats and experienced political insiders. They experience great setbacks. They feel the presence of God’s hand on their every move.
