Stumblebum Rap

all roads now lead to transmutation

This cat, Abraham, said we gotta drop
the Stumblebum Rap.

So, in an attempt to be uplifting, we stopped posting here...and switched out the vibe.
But, we kept the cool links.

Abe said: "The earth is always realigning. All this fuss about the world coming to an end is a lot of to do about nothing."

Abe said: "You humans don't even know how to launch another earth into orbit. Your scientists don't know. The earth is evolving and will always be ready for the times to come."

Abe said: "Earth changes are happening faster, wind, earthquakes, floods. But, you can still comfortably live within this."

"Just line up your own energy and take any inspired actions."

Abe said: "People who are freaking out won't receive the guidance to take necessary actions."

Abe said: "Most people will choose to take endless action before they line up their energy.

Abraham used to encourage people to get a sense of self sufficiency by gathering rice and beans because it gave them a more stable platform to acknowledge their freedom to thrive than staying in a place of fear.

Abe said: "Once you get into alignment, you will no longer worry about earth changes at all."

Reality is created with every thought in every moment.

And Abe said: "While you're up, could you grab me a beer?"

These cheerleaders weren't aware of their football team's

"No Virgins Allowed" policy

when they went on Howard Stern's radio show and discussed their limited range of sexual activities.

As a result, the two women have been suspended, and the team is looking for a couple of more qualified replacements.

I think we know who they can call.

You must not lose faith in humanity.

Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty,
the ocean does not become dirty.

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

How America's Bipartisan Elite
Lost Our Future
...and What It Will Take
to Win It Back

Let's just get this farce over.

The Future Is Now

Momentous change is approaching in American politics. Conceivably, the turning point has already arrived, too indistinct to recognize. We are witnessing the demise of the reigning economic ideology.

A deep shift of this kind is a very rare event, one that comes along only every thirty or forty years.

Economic disorders accumulate that the orthodoxy cannot answer and may even have caused. Eventually, the ideological presumptions are discredited by real-world contradictions.

The last time this happened was in the 1970s, when economic liberalism foundered and collapsed. Ossified intellectually, unable to adjust to changed circumstances, the liberal order did not know how to deal with economic consequences like inflationary stagnation. As the long postwar prosperity lost its energy, so did liberal politics.

Something similar is happening now to the Republicans. Their problem is the underperforming economy, which must borrow to stay afloat and, roughly speaking, lifts only half the boats. The conservative order--inspired two generations ago by Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek and brought to power by Republican ascendancy--pushed government aside so business and capital would be free to generate more lasting prosperity. But their utopian promise was not fulfilled. Instead, the right's principal product, one can say, was economic inequality.

The breakdown won't necessarily produce an immediate shift in power. When the bottom fell out of liberal doctrine thirty years ago, what first unfolded was confusion and political paralysis, then an awkward retreat by the Democrats until they were finally displaced by the aggressive new conservatives under Ronald Reagan. But it does mean that Republicans have lost the political cohesion to advance their more extreme measures (privatizing Social Security, freeing capital entirely of taxation).

More to the point, the way is now open for alternative thinking: the new ideas that can lead to a new governing order. These ideas must be grounded in a determination to give people back their future. The strange paradox of our times is that despite America's fabulous wealth, most people's lives are shadowed by economic anxieties and real confinements, the wounds that market ideology has imposed.

They fear that much worse is ahead for their children. Reform must re-establish this fundamental principle: The economy exists to support society and people, not the other way around. Only government can liberate them from the harsh rule of the marketplace, the demands imposed by capital and corporations that stunt or stymie the full pursuit of life and liberty in this complex industrial society. This very wealthy country has the capacity to insure that all citizens, regardless of status or skills, have the essential needs to pursue secure, self-directed lives. This starts with the right to health, work, livable incomes and open-ended education, and to participate meaningfully in the decisions that govern their lives. The marketplace has no interest in providing these. It is actively destroying them.

A coherent alternative agenda that will fulfill these principles does not yet exist. Nor will a liberal-progressive program emerge miraculously if the Democratic Party should somehow regain power in the next few years, since many Democrats in Congress have internalized the market ideology and collaborate with the right. But elements of that alternative agenda are already ripe for discussion...

Lick the damn boot, George.

Admit that she is the official spokesperson for your compassionate conservative "family values" Republican party.

Or else Ann is going to write about your secret life.

The bitch has no soul, but........she's got balls.

(Some say, " literally.")

In a strange turn of events, the keeper of your secret is now currently running for governor of Nevada.

I would like to thank the 3 wisemen for making the trek down to the Old Pueblo for the 2nd Annual Stumblebumgetsilly, or whatever we might call it,...a couple of weeks ago.

I am very grateful for the effort and expense made and paid to get down here, and I very much enjoyed the visit.

I'm sure that after 48 hours down in Toostoned, it must have been hard for the 3 wisemen to rehearse songs as their alter-egos,

...Patio Daddy-O and the Sizzlin' Fajitas,

...so that a day later they could provide amplified entertainment for the House of Mole party in the Valley of the Spun.

I'm sorry I missed the party up north...and traveling in the Care-Van. Perhaps next time.

I am glad to hear that the Flight of Icarus was a crowd pleaser.

Cheers to a great summer,...Buddhaful, G-Man...and Radio D.

Beer now.

Also,

Speaking of the Devil...

Our corrupt Congress wants to repeal the death tax.

Dear corrupt Congress:

Repeal the death tax? You mean what used to be called the "estate" tax? You mean what used to be called the "inheritance" tax? You mean the tax which only affects the richest 1 percent of Americans? And you want to cut benefits for the other 99 percent of Americans to pay for it? That makes sense. And that sounds fair. Oh, these poor little rich billionaires... They don't want to pay back their fair share to society. Isn't it society that provides the enforcement of contract laws...so that these disgustingly rich crybabies can make money off the rest of us in the first place? Isn't it society that provides the law enforcement...which protects these rich crybabies from being tarred, feathered and robbed by the masses? Poor little rich crybabies want a free ride, it seems. It seems these free market believers need a little government intervention...to give them more obscene tax cuts...and to provide them with the laws to exploit the masses...and the police force to protect their excessive lifestyles and treasure.

Repeal the death tax? Hell, no. Repeal all the obscene Bush tax cuts for these undeservedly rich freeloading scumbags. I don't mean that all rich people are scumbags. Just the ones who aren't content with the past 5 years of unnecessary tax cuts,...and still want more.

Why is it that the rich don't feel the need to pay back to society for all the benefits they derive from it?

This is why I like Bill Gates, Sr.,...and the wealthy who feel it's their duty to give back to society,...with gratitude.

"Energy analysts agree that world oil supplies are about to peak, after which there will be a steady decline in supplies of oil. Iraq, possessing the world's second largest oil reserves, was therefore already a target of U.S. geostrategic interests.

Together with the fact that Iraq had switched its oil export currency to euros -- rather than U.S. dollars -- the Bush administration's unreported aim was to prevent further OPEC momentum in favor of the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency standard."
