THURSDAY
mccain campaign working hard to derail troopergate
sending some of its primeplayers into the fray
its kinda like florida recount all over again, the repbulicans
serious about dealing under the table, the honorable democrats
clueless about just how far they will go, we have to keep
a spotlight on the mccain campaign to defang troopergate
make an issue out of the effort to do so
they will claim its because the thing is politically tainted
so what, make an issue out of its cheneylike adherence
to the imperial presidency, the imperial vice presidency
that doesnt have to subject itself to the rule of law
keep the spotlight on their determination to derail this
how important it is to them, make a case
in struggle

TUESDAY
mccain had a bad day today
first the mccain campaign claimed that mccain was responsible for the invention of the blackberry
they tried to back up off that one with the quickness but the damage was done
then mccain flack fionna carly was asked if sarah palin was qualified to run a major corporation
in a moment of candor and probably stunned that anybody could consider such a thing she said no,
she tried to back up off it with the quickness but the damage was done
times hard like this we take what we can get
obama using the wallstreet meltdown to bring the focus back to the economy
who is trying to back off years of supporting finanacial deregulations but the damage is done
we take what we can get
but this financial meltdown is a direct result of republican adversity to regulation of business in
any shape form or fashion, chain him to deregulation with an anchor, let him go down
with lehman, merrill, aig and bush - he doesnt have a clue - and tell palin to take her folksy fixing back
to anchorage, and take her folksy buddy bush with her, been there done that, still paying the cost
we aint taking that

MONDAY
like i say i dont want to obsess over mccain or palin, they not worth noveltime, but i am encouraged
by the press' willingness to call mccain out lately for playing them so shamelessly, and as for
palin, im encouraged there too, let me do my part to repeat/amplify some of the strikes arrayed against her:
husband is subpoenaed for troopergate, seems he was part of her administration, unelected enforcer
won her office by introducing divisive hardright politics into what had been a smalltown affair
once in used her office to punish those who hadnt supported her, and places cronys in office (sound familiar)
fired pubic safety director when he wouldnt fire her ex brother in law (but you knew that one didnt you)
turns out she didnt go to iraq after all, she went to the kuwait/iraq border, they are now revising that lie
same secrecy/subversion agenda cheney employs, staff uses personal emails for gov business so wont leave official records
foreign policy claim seems to be she lives across bering straight, i can see russia from island in alaska she say - okay
i will play with this one more during the day, right now i got to clock some pages

SUNDAY
hello world, just sat down to do todays shift, started checking my news and 1st
thing i run up on is that david foster wallace has killed himself
hung himself at 46 and at the top of his literary game
man that perplex me, why would he do that, he had everything
im looking for, literary acclaim and respect
a masterwork under his belt, ima have to digest this one
raise questions about life and blessings
the nature of satisfaction
the value of serenity
i like to think as a hoodoo practitioner that serenity is my forte,
like to think im good at calming troubled souls
of all my skilz it is soul doctor i pride myself most
capable of bringing rest to the weary
but i have not been able to assuage my sisters grief at the loss of her son
and i am often not able to help folk i want most to help
i have often wondered when its time for me to go will i go fighting or at peace, i am by
nature a fighter but i dont know i want to hold on desperately when its time to go
there are times when im feeling like im tired and ready to rest, there are times when i feel like ive
blown this life, id like to start all over please - but suicide, i aint feeling that
ultimately i judge it a personal and you have to accept when somebody chose it
but suicide you wonder what kind of pain they been carrying -
once read that a writer is judged by their worst work while they live, their best
when they dead- death is not necessarily the end for a writer - just another phase
in the eternal search for work that will live forever
was unable to read infinite jest, those
1000 page doorstoppers strike me as indulgent and precocious but
david foster wallace one of the literary giants of our times, one of the few folk on this planet i respect
and it hurt me personal to see him check out like that, 46 years old
ima get a little work done today in honor of david foster wallace: the infinite jester
may you find the peace you were searching for, may the gods of literature be good to you
on perhaps a lighter note perhaps not my boy jackman pleased w/recent accord in zimbabwe
ask what the mbeki haters gon say now, i suspect he account me one
mbeki hater i am not, mbeki doubter maybe, i have been disappointed in mbekis stewardship
mostly his response to aids and zimbabwe, other than that got nothing against him myself
in fact backed mbeki over zuma who come off kinda clownish sometime to be so deftly riding
a wave of popular discontent to power - he concern me but i hope he can grow into the role
now if you calling me a mugabe hater, i might have to plead guilty on that
it is an abomination when venal leaders cloak themselves in struggle
rickydoc dont approve
but i too am hoping this accord play out, i am concerned its shaky, true that, not clear how
presidential powers will be allocated and this council/cabinet system sound shaky to me
but the co presidency move seem to have worked in kenya so far, i will reserve
judgment - but win or lose im not much concerned how it affect mbeki
or mugabe for that matter, i do care about zimbabwe, my chillen have suffered enuf
its like mugabe has suicided zimbabwe - or would that be considered murder
hanging in there
