Speaking of Berkeley, we note that naked dating and naked survival shows became big topic on TV this summer and since it seems like the next step will be naked interview shows and since the San Francisco Bay Area has one such show, "My Naked Truth TV," with Gypsy Taub, there might be a great opportunity to go on the show and do a gonzo punditry column answering the "what were you thinking" question about that experience. We'll work on that.
Will Bruce Springsteen's first Social Security check arrive soon?
The Sunday morning gab-fests are big on promising analysis and critical evaluation of the news for the week, but then they usually just state the facts and let it go without actually doing any bit of delivering an authentic heads up bit of forecasting.
Has any pundit bothered to note that the challenge facing Obama is very similar to the situation that most historians say was the crucial turning point in WWII?
Hitler conquered a great deal of territory and occupied Paris by the summer of 1940. He then started an extensive bombing campaign against Great Britain but balked when it came time to implement Operation Sea Lion which would have put boots on the ground in England. Pundits, spokespersons, and others skip blithely over any questions about how Obama plans to do what Hitler couldn't.
All of Hitler's military advisors have urged him to put the boots on the ground. Obama's military advisors seem to be taking the same position about the futility of trying to use remote control drones to dominate a reluctant enemy.
We might not be the first pundit to compare the two but we will never get an invitation to ride on Willie Nelson's tour bus and so we have to languish in obscurity and continue our pathetic efforts such as going to this year's installment of the SuperHero Street Fair (Google hint: superherosf dot com) take some photos and then deal with extreme envy when we read what some Senator's aid said to the highly paid columnists working in Washington D. C.
Isn't assuming that the drone strikes will continue for the time being and that the ISIS forces will never make a retaliation strike inside the United States similar to assuming that your favorite baseball team will play four perfect no-hitter shutout games to win the World Series next month?
Some old West wisdom will serve as our quote of the week: "Shoot first; ask questions later."
We asked the disk jockey to rustle up the best bar room brawl songs and so he will play: Sweet's "Ball Room Blitz," Johnny Paycheck's "Colorado Kool-Aid, and Bobby Bare's "The Winner." We have to go see "Last Days in Vietnam." Have a "Spalpeen" type week.
