If you think that despising the boss is a universal manifestation of a natural workers' tendency then you have never talked with writers who have gotten a check from Larry Flynt Publications.   Some Conservative Compassionate Christians may not (openly) agree with Flynt's liberal attitude toward sex, but isn't it remarkable when all of a fellow's employees speak well of the boss?  

 

Do people who get a chance to visit the Playboy Mansion brag about the experience or do they treat it as if it were a shameful incident which must quickly be forgotten?   Who doesn't want an invitation to visit there?   Would Bishop Sheen have turned down such an opportunity?

 

Are Hugh Hefner's employees inundated with requests for a chance to see their boss' home?   Is this year's Playboy Mansion Halloween Party already booked to capacity?  

Remind us to ask a former co-worker at the Independent Journal that question the next time we visit Santa Monica.

 

On page 220 of the Dell Book paperback edition of "Thy Neighbors Wife," Gay Talese wrote:   "The Berkeley Free Speech Movement in 1965, which forged   its slogan from the initials of a four-letter word ("Freedom Under Clark Kerr"), as well as civil rights protests in the South, and the subsequent anti-war demonstrations and marches on Washington -- the sit-ins, the teach-ins, the love-ins -- all were manifestations of a new generation that was less sexually repressed than its ancestors and also less willing to respect political authority and social tradition, color barriers and draft boards, deans and priests."

 

Wouldn't the people who graduated in the Class of 1965, just now be getting to be Presidential Candidate age?   What college did Newt attend?   Could it be that the flower power generation is just now getting its chance to do what they said LBJ and Nixon couldn't or wouldn't do?  

 

Is Newt just now getting ready to bring the party that once included George Romney, into the era of the Playboy Philosophy . . . or has Newt been "brainwashed"?

 

While we are on the subject, aren't all the top Republicans encouraging the current field of candidates to tear each other apart?   Crocodile tears?   Where are the candidates spending their campaign funds?   On ads, right?   Who owns the newspapers and TV stations around the USA?   Usually it's conservative Republicans, eh?   If the top Republicans are raking in the ad revenue stirred up by the continuing series of Primary cage matches and if the same media moguls plan to pull a fast one and substitute someone else as the candidate, then, metaphorically speaking, aren't a lot of donors to the various Republican candidates "getting their ashes hauled" by the "three card Monte" style subterfuge?  

 

We thought that all the boys in the One Percent Club had mutual non-aggression pacts with each other and the idea was to be relentless in squeezing every last dollar from every last bank account of the Ninty Nine Percenters.

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
