Sure it would be fun to open for the Rolling Stones during their next tour.   What band could turn down such an invitation?   What critic really cares who opens for the Stones?   Isn't it mind-boggling to realize that the greatest rock and roll band in the world will soon be celebrating their 50th year in business?   Will they play a gig at the Marquise Club just to draw attention to the milestone?   How much money could such a hypothetical gig raise for charity?  

 

Did Tony Bennett just get some adverse publicity for calling for a new investigation into 9-11?

 

A soldier who doesn't fight on the battle field is subject to a court-martial for dereliction of duty.   (Wasn't there some talk in Washington this week about reinstituting the draft?)   A worker who lacks diligence can be fired for incompetence.   A nihilist who lacks energy can express his philosophy of life by goofing-off.   Can the Republicans who were elected to work in the legislative branch of government be impeached for their sit-down strike tactics?  

 

Voters in America are free to use the electronic voting machines that leave no verifiable results to (try) to vote the rascals out of office.   Cynics are still free (for how much longer?) to ask if that isn't like the concept in a David Bowie song of putting out a fire by dousing it with gasoline.

 

Didn't the Nazis use a minority party to control a majority of citizens who didn't approve of their political program?   In many Arab countries isn't it often the case that a Shiite minority rules over a Sunni majority of citizens (or is it the other way around?)?   What Republican would object on moral or political philosophical grounds to the suggestion

that they use the electronic voting machines to permit a minority party to rule over a much bigger number of citizens in a majority party?

 

Doesn't the Vince Lombardi philosophy apply to the use of electronic voting machines with unverifiable results?   "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing."

 

The term "false flag operation" has been bandied about frequently recently and it makes this columnist wonder if perhaps somehow people in a smoke filled room were inspired by that concept to engineer a way to get a Republican mole into the White House cleverly disguised as a precedence setting Democrat.

 

Will some of Pan Am's airplanes turn into time machines?   Is it true that Leonardo DiCaprio will make an uncredited cameo appearance on the new TV show?   We are going to try to catch that if we can.

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...)
