'Woman in Winter'

Woman in Winter is a progressive liberal.  She lives in the northern region.  She met Little Miss Disappointed via the internet.  They both agree with the wastefulness of George Troubleyou Bush and The Republican Party.  Woman in Winter is sad about the amount of waste of human life and the waste of money and time that The Republican Party and number forty-three brought to our worldy society.  Prison time is in order for the war-crimes that were committed by George Troubleyou Bush and his cohort in crime, Dick Cheney.  Talk about trampling the Constitution!!!  The teabaggers and republicans are silent on this issue.  The Warmonger Party, The Republican Party, The Hypocrisy Party; they're all the same.  Woman in Winter is also disappointed, as is Little Miss Disappointed, that The Republican Party has given the color red a bad name, with its waste of human life (blood) and waste of money (red ink).  And don't forget the waste of eight years time!  That's 2912 days worth of waste.  George Troubleyou Bush and The Republican Party:  Wasteful Wasters of Wastefulness Waste!!!

As if winter isn't cold enough in the northern region, Woman in Winter must deal with the cold of the wastefulness and hypocrisy of The Republican Party.

'Little Miss Disappointed'

She is disappointed because there are smudges on the canvas. She is also disappointed with the damage that George W. Bush and The Republican Party did to our society.  She knows how wasteful he and his party were.  She is disappointed that The Republican Party has given her favorite color, red, a bad name with their waste of human life (blood) and their waste of money (red ink).  She knows how appropriate it is that The Republican Party is represented by the color red, but she's still disappointed.

'The Crucial Fix'

I do not consider myself a Christian because I am a DuoTheist, but I believe that the incarnation of Jesus Christ is alive on this earth now.  I believe He is watching a broken world become even more broken and dysfunctional with each passing day.  I believe He has been mostly unemployed for the past couple of years due in part to his own choosing and economic circumstances that are beyond his control, but I do think that He is the bearer of special gifts.  His gifts include artistic abilities, a way with words, as well as psychic "insightfulness".  And I believe He is "The Velvet Mouthpiece" for two supreme beings.  Yes, I believe that the Incarnation of Jesus will be representing TWO deities.  I also believe that He will be a very liberal thinker, which is good, given that He has His work cut out for Him.  This will mean that He is going to speak out against Conservatism.

I also believe that the embodiment of Jesus will have a solution for our energy needs that do not require the use of fossil fuels.  This solution already exists on this earth, but He will open the eyes of mankind to "see" the technology.  I believe that the incarnation of Jesus that is on this earth now will act as a consultant to this earthly society and will help bring about "fixes" for the many areas that need fixing.  This would include the areas of Haiti, The Middle East, Asia, Africa, etc., etc., etc.  At the very least, He will make suggestions for change that will make these areas function more responsibly.  One of His goals will be to bring about World Peace.  That is no small task!  He will be here to help bring about an end to poverty and hunger, as well.  But the only way that He will be able to make these changes is with the help of a population of others.  Not everyone will believe in Him, but hopefully enough will.

Furthermore, I believe that we will see the appearance of the incarnation of Jesus before the end of this year, two thousand ten.  Most likely in October or very early November.  Maybe before the mid-term elections, but I could be wrong about the timing.  That is what my psychic "insightfulness" is telling me.  Let's just remember to not let the Incarnation of Jesus die at the hands of another human being.  That would be very bad.

'Holy Mary, Mother of Jesus, Who gets Mesopotamia?'

Things in Iraq aren't going so well.  The historic invasion of the sovereign nation of Iraq was performed under the premise that it would "free" the people from their dictator.  Looking back now, the only thing that was "free" for the citizens of Iraq was death.  The invasion of Iraq allowed ethnic cleansing by way of a civil war.  The ways of the Middle East, I suppose, with help from the Americans.  And the situation in Afghanistan is hardly better than it was ten years ago.  Thousands of years of history must not be enough time to teach people how NOT to act.  Looking at the history of those long wasteful eight years of number forty-three, it appears that everything that George W. Bush touched turned shitty.  The opposite of the midas touch.

The upcoming mid-term elections should be a referendum on those incredibly wasteful eight years of George W. Bush and his cohort in crime, Dick Cheney.  After all, we will all be paying for those wasteful eight years for a very long time.  Not only were those eight years a waste of time, during those eight years we witnessed an incredible amount of waste of human life and a historic waste of taxpayer's money.  The American people will be paying for the waste of George W. Bush for generations, but so will the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The Republican Party OWNS the legacy of George Troubleyou Bush! His legacy is one of a Wasteful Waster of Wastefulness Waste.  Waste of Life, Waste of Money, and Waste of Time.  All in the name of Conservatism!  Brought to us by the circus of waste, The Republican Party.  The Circus of Waste.

'The Velvet Mouthpiece'

I have not had much to say, lately.  It's not that there isn't anything to talk about, but I believe our society is incredibly broken, given all of the bloodshed and hypocrisy, waste and greed.  I have said that I am bitter on this blog quite a few times.  Looking at how broken we are, where on earth would one start?  I mean, do you make a list of things that are broken and then just start at number one?  What if number three is a little more important than number one and number two certainly isn't that pressing?  Maybe number one is too big of a task for any one person.  Or do we just sit back and watch broken governments "talk" about the brokenness while creating more?

I want to start a new socio-political movement.  Seriously!  My new movement will be for citizens who are not affiliated with any other political movement.  That means that its members and those that follow have NO affiliation with any other socio-political movement.  My Movement will be a progressive liberal organization whose main goal is to bring about a positive societal ideological shift in the name of world peace and freedom from the confines of religion.  The "progressive" part of My Movement will be to make "progress" in ending the wars of mankind on this earth as we know it.  The "liberal" part means no more status quo.  Mankind has brought about a lot of death and destruction on this earth and we appear stuck in a dysfunctional cycle of waste.

In my opinion, the only way to break this cycle of waste is for a socio-political revolution for peace that is worldwide.  That is why I want to start a new socio-political movement to call my very own.  Because, from where we are at today, as a society, there is only one direction to go, and that is up!  We are at rock bottom!  But I also think that we are at a crossroad.  This is a very important time for responsible governing, of which I haven't seen much lately (I mean the past ten years).  I expect to make progress on My Plan soon.  You can read about the progress here, with future posts on this blog, for the time being.

Wish me luck!  Or not.

'The Earth, as Candle'

The oil is not going to last forever, and when we humans reach the "bottom of the tank", our earth will no longer have its lubricant that acts as a coolant for this planet.  We're on the hot road to hell, as far as oil drilling is concerned, and if we don't change our ways soon, life on this earth is indeed going to become very difficult.

 I think we are in the midst of changing times.  We need to see a great societal ideological shift away from the same "business as usual" attitude that has gripped our society for quite some time now.  Part of this shift should be in the area of power creation for our planes, trains, autos, buses, boats, and all of our buildings.  The changing times means that we will stop using fossil fuels (mostly).  I say, "Bring it on!"

 That would mean that any human on this earth that relies on the oil industry as its sole source of income should find a new industry for financial income.  Get a new job, or start a new business!  I think that the wind and solar energy industries are the way to go.  And there will be the industries that are needed to build the new technology that will power all of our transportation sources.  We will have a lot of retrofitting to do.

This latest oil disaster is shocking.  But mankind's complacency and lack of ingenuity is more shocking!  It is due to the lack of ingenuity, the complacency, and greed for profits that we will see lots of death of wildlife and destruction of ecosystems caused by this BP/Gulf of Mexico oil disaster that is now unfolding before our very eyes.  But besides the greed, the complacency, and the lack of ingenuity, BP's attitude of "suck it from every crevice on earth" is incredibly irresponsible and careless.  So this oil disaster that is happening in the Gulf of Mexico should surprise no one.  Shock, yes; surprise, no.

The oil won't last forever.

The time for change is NOW!

Check your halo!

Who will speak for peace?

I mean, truly speak out on behalf of world peace.

And when?

'Teapots'

The Republican Party appears to be proud of its association with the Tea Party.  Which is a bit odd, given that the "teabaggers" are motivated by anger and hatred.  Anger and hatred, I have always been told, should not be the motivating factors for any political movement.  But looking at the antics at Tea Party rallies that have been aired on the news channels, that is all that the teabaggers and The Republican Party have to run a campaign on.  Anger and hatred.  That is their fuel.  Fuel for the fools!

Where was their anger when George Troubleyou Bush was dragging the good name of our society down to the gates of hell?  Where was the teabagger's anger when The Republican Party was giving George Troubleyou Bush EVERYTHING that he wanted for the first SIX YEARS of his wasteful presidency?  Where was the anger of the teabagger's when tens of thousands of humans were dying in two irresponsible wars provided by George and Dick?  Where were the teabaggers during those long wasteful eight years of George Troubleyou Bush's reign of terror and waste?  Silent and invisible, that is where they were!  Now, we the people have to play witness to their hate-filled, racist, vitriolic, hypocritical tantrums.  Except that the tantrums are labeled political rallies on behalf of the red-blooded, patriotic citizens.  Hogwash!  Since when is hatred a patriotic virtue?  When did racism become a virtue of patriots in this country?  When did it become patriotic to hold hate in one's heart while pretending to love all life?  In reality, the only virtues that these people possess abundantly are stupidity, ignorance, and hypocrisy.

Again, I must say, I am a bit bewildered at the pride that The Republican Party has in their association with the Tea Party.  I predict that this association will help bring down The Republican Party in upcoming elections.  I do not believe this is just wishful thinking, I have a strong feeling that this will happen.  I think that The Republican Party should be renamed.  I'll offer some suggestions:  The Hypocrisy Party, The Party of Red (for the blood and red ink; how appropriate that The Republican Party is already represented by the color red),  The Party of The Ignorant, The Party for The Hateful, The Party of Fools.  But really, The Republican Party has been more like a circus than a party, so how about The Republican Party Circus?  How fitting!  And now, The Circus has an arena where the teabaggers perform.  Birds of a feather, flock together, under the big tent.  Welcome to The Circus that is The Republican Party; the party of hypocrites!

The teabaggers of the Tea Party give tea a bad name, and the republicans of The Republican Party give themselves a bad name.

'The Second Coming'

For the record, the lawlessness has begun.

For more than ten years, now.

'Sacrificial Offering'

It is believed that Jesus threw a tantrum in a temple.  His tantrum was directed at moneychangers, entrepeneurs, and corporate-types, those that represented capitalism of His day.  I can totally relate to how Jesus felt, although I don't possess the power it would take to bring down the leviathan that is capitalism.  I want so badly to run through the "streets"  of Wall Street overturning the tables of the moneychangers, throwing around the cages of the pigeonsellers and goatkeepers, shaking the shakels of hedge fund and derivatives dealers, while screaming wildly about how wasteful capitalism really is.  When will this madness end?!

I wonder what Jesus expected to accomplish?  Did He just want the capitalism to happen outside of the temple?  Or did He want to completely do away with the greed that He was seeing?  It would take a revolution to overthrow our corporate socialist state known as capitalism.  Capitalism IS socialism for corporations!  And the socialism is funded by the taxpayers.  I really do wish that we could see a return of Jesus to this earth, now, so that I could witness the tantrum that he would throw at the waste of Wall Street and capitalism.  I would love to see another coming of Jesus the Revolutionary!

But my patience is growing thin as I watch dishonest, greedy people make billions at the expense of others.  Capitalism is the modern day equivalent of the den of thieves, and the thieves in the den are protected by laws put into place by politicians to protect them from being held accountable for their dastardly deeds.  Dare I say that the politicians that pass the laws probably profit in some way for the protection they provide to the thieves in the den.

I am totally in support of the free market system that we have, but I am totally opposed to the greed of capitalism.  I am also opposed to huge banks that are allowed to gamble with its depositor's monies and are protected by laws and bailed out with taxpayer's money if failure is the result of the gambling.  That is wrong on so many levels.  If a person (or persons) is doing something positive for a society, then they should be rewarded with profit, for doing good.  But when wall-street-types are contributing absolutely nothing to our society, are causing economic collapse of entire industries for their own profit, then jail time is in order and "the monies stripped from their possession".  At the very least, they should be extradited to a deserted island or atoll somewhere far away from any society with one packet of Skittles and a 12 oz. bottle of water.  Maybe then, they might realize that their greed benefited no one but themselves.  That is my opinion!

'New Texas Flag'

*One Amongst Many. 

I was born and raised in Texas.  I moved out of Texas two weeks after George Troubleyou Bush was inaugurated as the Governor, so dismayed was I at the outcome of the election in November, 1994.  It took a gigantic amount of ignorance to walk into the voting booth and vote George W. Bush into office.  Any office!  What's in a name?  For George W. Bush, everything.  Much to my shock and horror, I heard quite a few people (young and old alike) tell me that they were voting for the Bush that was a former President of the United States (number forty-one).  Really.  And they believed it!  And there were those that knew he was one of the sons, but believed the horrible lies that his campaign spread about Ann Richards (she was a lesbian; an alcoholic; an alcoholic atheist lesbian that was going to go to every home and take all guns away from the citizens and while doing so was going to give everyone an abortion, but first, she would raise taxes).  If that kind of ignorance was rated on a scale of 1 to 10, it would receive a 200.  It should come as no surprise to anyone that Texas ranks in the lower percentile for education.

Speaking of political campaigns, the only thing that "the iron triangle" did strategically well was take advantage of the ignorance of the voters.  Too bad they didn't tap into the intelligence of the voters, instead.  In carlWorld, that 1994 election in Texas will always be seen as the lowest of political lows.  A dumbing down of the political process.  And that "dumbing down" political strategy was used for each of George W. Bush's subsequent campaigns.  The way of The Republican Party (it's more like a circus than a party).

Anyway, that was then, this is now.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.  Texas still ranks in the lower percentile for education.  George W. Bush was the most wasteful President our country has had in its 233+ years.  Circus Master for the Ignorant, indeed.  Thank you, Texas.  And thank those five outlaw activist judges in 2000.  But keep this in mind, the next time Texas tries to give us another George Troubleyou Bush, say 'no thanks'.  Note to Texas:  Keep your mess in Texas, don't mess with the rest of us!  The "lone star state" mentality is probably at the root of the problem.  All Texans should travel out to west Texas on a clear night and look up.  There is no such thing as a lone star.  One amongst many.  Many, many, many.  Texas may be one of the biggest, but it is not the brightest.

In carlWorld, where I am King, this is the flag of Texas.!

'Two Ducks on Water'

Two ducks on water, one large, one small

Beads of water from their backs do fall

The water is warmed by the sun in a box

Once on shore, they should look out for the fox

The water looks choppy, an affect of the art

There's no storm visible on the weather chart

These ducks look happy, they're certainly cute

But this painting is child-like, the point is moot

I wonder if these ducks are on a pond or a lake

A good roasted dinner either one would make

I hope that doesn't happen, it's only a thought

Most roasted ducks, I believe, are store bought

Back to the smiles that these ducks do bring

I bet that the season is probably spring

It might be summer, I doubt that it's fall

Two ducks on water, one large, one small

'The Velvet Mouthpiece'

Let me begin by stating that I voted for Barack Obama and have supported his job as President up to this point, even though I have not agreed with every decision he has made.  But I'm finding his decision to allow new oil drilling incredibly hard to swallow.  Actually, I'm outraged!  I have said this before on this blog, and I will say it again:

Extraction of oil

From under the soil

Will cause this earth to spoil

I believe that our earth has a natural cooling system; the oil that we extract from under the ground is THE lubricating coolant for this planet.  (Imagine for a moment that this earth is like the engine in a car.  If the car's engine develops an oil leak and the leaked oil is not replaced, eventually all of the oil will be used up, the engine will seriously overheat and be damaged beyond repair.)  The lubricant/coolant is just part of this earth's cooling system.  Coal is this earth's insulation, and we're mining it into nonexistence, just so that a few folks on this earth can make lots of money.  We have other ways of heating our homes and making energy.  Coal is not a clean energy, no matter what any lobbyist or politician tells us.  So we the humans are extracting our earth's lubricant and it is not being replaced, and we the humans are stripping the insulation that is coal from this earth, and we wonder what is causing climate change.?  And our current President has made a decision to allow MORE drilling, supposedly to "end" our dependence on foreign oil.

Bullshit!!!

I say that it is just a very poor decision.  A very poor political decision!  But now that this has opened my eyes, I have decided to look at his accomplishments, thus far in his presidency.  The Health Care Reform Bill that was just passed was modeled after a 1994 version that the conservative Heritage Foundation had proposed.  So this Congress passed a sixteen-year-old conservative Republican version of health care reform.  And this decision to open more territories for oil drilling is exactly what The Republicans chanted during the last campaign season, "Drill, Baby, Drill!".  I did not see this coming, because I was looking for his socialist's ways that the teabaggers have been claiming.  Turns out, he is a continuation of those wasteful eight years of Capitalist Republican George Troubleyou Bush.  There is nothing socialist about Barack Obama; he is a capitalist, through and through.

This decision to do more oil drilling does NOT represent progress!

'The Crucial Fix'

 Jesus was murdered!

 More on this later.  While I think that the story of Jesus Christ is intriquing, it is a story of a specific happening in a specific region that took place on this earth a long time ago.  And it was during this specific time period long ago, when the people of this specific region believed that the world was flat.  What a naive time to live on this earth!  Poor Jesus, I know his heart was in the right place, but the changes that he was calling for represented something so much greater than He; that for a fix, no one man can.  I really feel like I know how Jesus felt about the greed that he saw in the temple.  I possess the same feelings when I look at "wall street"!  Capitalism = Great Waste.  I believe that Jesus was equally as angered as I am, now, with what I think is a less than successful strategy for making progress as a society.  As long as we are a capitalistic society we will see wars on this earth, because wars are profitable and capitalism is about profits and making money.

 In carlWorld, if a citizen wants to gamble with his or her monies, then the citizen can only do so at one of our casinos.  We have nothing in carlWorld that would resemble "wall street".  We have no corporations that are publicly traded.  There is no such thing, in carlWorld, as "speculation", or trading and betting on "toxic assets", or hedge funds, or bank failures.  In carlWorld, we have no bank failures because banks are not allowed to gamble with any depositor's money, regardless of how much that depositor has deposited.  I know how Jesus felt back then, in his time long ago.  Greed can reak havoc on humankind, as we have seen in our most recent history.  Conservatives murdered Jesus because He spoke out against their dastardly deeds and wasteful ways, the same ways of Wall Street that we see today, only Wall Street is much, much, much bigger.  The murder of Jesus was a "crucial fix" by the Conservatives, for conservatism.

 The painting above, is part of a series titled, 'A Wish Upon A Star'.  This wish is dedicated to Jesus.  I wish that the Conservatives lose all grasp of power in our society.  I'm talking locally, as well as all state and national offices.  The Conservatives have kept wars going on and on and on.  It's the status quo.  Conservatives love the "profits" of war.  The Conservatives have built their base on an unstable foundation of ignorance and hypocrisy, using The Republican Party as a vessel.  Oh Jesus, I know how you wished upon a star for the changes that you spoke of, to come to the people of your long ago earth, even if the changes had to come by way of your death.  This painting is a tribute to Jesus Christ, The Man.  May we see the return of His likeness soon.

"I wish, I wish, upon a star", says the King.

(Happy Easter, to those that celebrate the cause.)
