QQ : NUMBER FOURTEEN - October 24, 2011

 A ONCE-A-WEEK (or so) LIST OF WHAT I  GIVE A  DAMN ABOUT. WITH 10 = MOST IMPORTANT;  AND 1 = NOT SO MUCH

WHY   I   BLOG

LET’S MAKE A DEAL  ---  DEALS WITH THE DEVIL

QQ : 1   RAISING THE STAKES

One Israeli soldier for one thousand “freedom fighters”.  Call, raise, hold or fold?

QQ : 2.   A CASE OF EXTREME SEMIOTICS


Somehow falling through the cracks of German efficiency at the intake at Auschwitz, my mother had no tattoo. At age seventy, in Sydney Australia, she took herself to a downtown tattoo parlor, and had her originally assigned number inscribed on her arm.
Sadly, the cards had already been dealt.
It was too late to call.

QQ : 3.    THE COVENANT 
    .   

Israelites! Listen up!  Here’s the deal. You cut off your foreskin and I’ll give you my book. Deal or no deal?

Yo, Abraham, about that sacrifice thing. I was just kidding

QQ : 4.   TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG 


My ancestry is traced back to the Hussite, ‘Men of the Chalice’ who were the original Bohemian protestants.

I protest, I Boheme ...I Blog.

QQ : 5.     A PLACE IS JUST A PLACE
 

Toronto for my children. Nashville for my muse. Los Angeles for my body. Melbourne for my heart. Paris for my soul. Manhattan for my fantasy. New Orleans for my Id. Prague for my ghosts.

QQ : 6.      PEAN SHARKER and THE PURPOSE

According to this media genius  “There's good creepy and there's bad creepy, and today's creepy is tomorrow's necessity."

Sean Parker has opinions, power and resources. Perhaps fate has made an inappropriate assignment.

Kandinsky and others have suggested that the purpose of art is to nurture the spirit.
My soul does not respond to creepy; good or bad; today or tomorrow.

QQ : 7.      ME AND GROUCHO. 
 

Copyright versus “democratization” -  Marx suggested the concept of a “general intellect”.
Hacking, untying the bonds of copyright and “sharing” all sound kind of Marxist to me.
I am not a (Karl) Marxist.
I like the idea of owning my ideas..
I am a Groucho Marxist.

QQ : 8.     THROUGH THE NOSE 
 

The cable, ISP and phone monopolies of North America - marketing by confusion: controlling and encouraging the dissemination of pornography and the theft of copyright as their largest distribution of content.
Sex and music rule,
Comcast delivers.
We pay.

QQ: 9.    I HAD A DREAM 

 
Segregation within organized religion is a travesty. Why are there segregated churches? Jesus is not happy. That is reason enough for his return.


QQ :10.     EXTRA PEPPERONI

“Pizza” Herman Cain flip-flops on women’s rights. If we don’t deliver your pizza within thirty minutes, your procedure is covered as long as it is in the first trimester in certain states.
In other states, we’ll just offer you some extra pepperoni and a free pap test.

Cain's idiotic agenda has just earned this guy the hearts and minds of conservative women voters for the 1912 elections.

And what ever happened to Abel?
