"Birth control kills babies!": My recent trip to Planned Parenthood.... I had sore breasts so I went off to PP for a checkup & ran into a spooky old dude picketing against abortions. "What about the number of people dead in the Middle East since Eisenhower first began the inept Republican policy of killing people there to make America 'safe'?" sez me. But then the SOD got sidetracked into the birth control issue. Apparently that involves killing babies too. Ladies, never give up The Pill!

Bunkbeds: How Generation X-Box prepares for the coming Depression I just KNEW that Bush would sink the business of America like he did all his other business failures, so I spent 8 years trying to prepare for the coming Bush Great Depression. It hasn't hit me personally yet, but it is currently taking "Generation X-Box" down hard. How does our youngest generation cope with poverty and unemployment? In a word? "Bunkbeds!"

Ambushed by Taliban in Afghanistan & by unemployment in America David Pratt, a journalist for the Scotland Sunday Herald, recently wrote about getting ambushed by the Taliban -- which got me to thinking. Where do the Taliban get all their weapons? The five biggest weapons exporters are America, Russia, Germany, France and The Netherlands. No wonder the EU is so supportive of US wars! But does this mean that in order to keep unemployment down here, we gotta go out & declare more wars? No!

Judge Judy alert!: There are NO federal small claims courts in America I just found out the hard way that there is no such thing as a federal small claims court. But there should be. At my February 25 hearing against the DoD, I'm gonna ask my judge to set precedence & either remand me back to state small claims court where I belong or else move to start a federal small claims court himself. And if that doesn't work, I'm going to try to get Judge Judy (or the US Supreme Court) to take my case!

The special "Big Bang Theory" issue of my housing co-op newsletter If my housing co-op's problem with its current off-the-wall board of directors was being solved by Sheldon, the nerd-genius type on TV's "Big Bang Theory" show, he's cite HUD statutes, Congressional bills, Eric Holder and receivership court case numbers -- but Penny would bring him back to Real Life. "Just fire the freaking board and get on with the re-hab!"

Madam Jane predicts: Social Security pensioners will be the new upper class With the economy sinking, Rush Limbaugh trying to be the voice of America & the IDF shooting Hamas-infiltrated zoo animals in Gaza, the future certainly looks dim. What does Madame Jane have to say about it? "You'll be okay. Everyone else will be so poor that S.S. recipients will be the new upper class." That bad, huh? "And Bush succeeded where Hitler & Stalin failed -- bringing America to its knees." Got any GOOD news, MJ?

How to win a Supreme Court appeal & other helpful advice on how to become wise... When that PBS special suggested that mature adults also get a brain growth-spurt, I went to the Berkeley-Albany Bar Association lunch to try to stimulate my "wisdom bump" too. Myron Moskovitz gave a lecture on how to win supreme court appeals. First you put yourself in the shoes of the judge -- not the opposing attorney's shoes. And then you.... We also ate salmon. Is that gonna help me get wise too?

9-11, Iraq & Gaza: How many "conspiracy theories" are enough? Remember when we were under pressure to shut up about 9-11, to shut up about stolen elections, to shut up about Bush's lies regarding Iraq, to shut up about the coming economic disasters? And now we are also being pressured to deny that Gaza was a massacre. "It didn't happen". But then dead children tell no tales.

Pulling out of Iraq: The Camp Ramadi hand-over The press releases I receive from American forces in Iraq have been talking a lot about hand-overs and pull-outs lately. I've been noticing a definite trend. Could this be the behind-the-scenes beginning of an orderly pull-out from Iraq? Might President Obama actually be keeping his campaign promises? And what about the fine print in the latest press release, indicating America's "tenant" status in Camp Ramadi until 2011?

60 Minutes: Is Israel's free ride almost over? Whoa! "60 Minutes" just showed a settler lady out in the middle of nowhere with a pickax? Yeah right. She's obviously from central casting. Most settlers live in luxury condos paid for by US taxpayers! And what about showing footage of IDF soldiers shooting children point-blank in Gaza or having their dogs feast on corpses? Where is that segment of the show? But at least 60 Minutes tried.

Revolt of the sheep: What if NOBODY signs up for digital TV? I can't believe that media corporations are getting away with this scam to have US buy our own digital black bloxes instead of them buying the boxes for us. They are getting big bucks for more commercials, thousands of new uncontrolled free channels -- and now they're ordering us to pay for this like we were sheep instead of free American patriots. But they need us more than we need them. Kill your TV. Go read a book.

Obama to Olmert about Gaza: "Stop stealing my show!" I bet you anything that Obama was pissed off at Olmert and Bush for stealing the spotlight away from his inauguration. Who was thinking of Michelle's new dress when children were dying in Gaza? No one. I bet Obama called Olmert up and gave him an earful. And did you SEE the way that Bush tried to hog the spotlight from Obama even on Inaugeration Day itself? How embarrassing for Bush.

Israel & Palestine: Their 61-year-long war comes home to America Israel and Palestine need to go back to where they were in 1967 -- behind the Green Line. Why? So I can get my friends back again! I'm tired of fighting with them about who is right in this matter. Can't Americans just go back to fighting about abortion, gay rights and Britney Spears? Think Green Line -- please. Before I have no friends left!

Appeasement: Yet another comparison between Gaza & Nazi Germany? Neville Chamberlain tried to appease Nazi Germany by sacrificing Czechoslovakia. Will Obama follow Bush's example and try to appease the Israeli neo-cons by continuing to sacrifice the poor slobs in Gaza to the Israeli neo-con power-grab? Is there an analogy here? But at least Chamberlain, unlike Bush, didn't fork over billions in tax dollars to the aggressers -- so perhaps my comparison is flawed after all.

Dating-age women beware: War is killing off all the eligible guys! At the rate things are going in Gaza, Iraq, etc. the world's men are getting all killed off by war. If you wanna find an eligible guy, ladies, just try the cemetery! So. What will stop wars? I got a plan. As women get older and their chances of having babies get slimmer, many of these women tend to become, er, rather desperate. Well. Just how desperate ARE you, ladies? Are you desperate enough to stop wars?

Fashion statement: Wearing an Israeli flag in NYC is FIERCE this season! Watching Max Blumenthal's video of a pro-Israeli rally in NYC, I started to get an insight into how Germans might have felt during Nazi times -- chauvinism, group-think and the justification of the unjustifiable at its finest hour. And speaking of chauvinism, why are patriotic Americans waving Israeli flags? Exactly where do their alliegences lie?

Berkeley Blogger's Suit Against Defense Department in Limbo Here's an update on my small-claims court case against the Department of Defense. Things are not looking too good for me at this point. Does anyone know a San Francisco Bay Area attorney or law school who would be willing to advise me on how to file a "Motion to Remand" myself back into small claims court?

Our dual-citizenship Congress: Lotsa pork for Israelis, no pork for California? California is about to go bankrupt but billions of US taxpayers' dollars are still pouring into Israel. How can California get some of that money? What do we need to do to get our Congress's attention? Fire Qassam rockets at Washington?

Gaza Iraq Afghanistan Congo Oakland: Is the killing EVER going to stop? All this killing and killing and killing -- I really can't stand it any more. Why is it still happening? This is the 21st century, damn it, and we are still acting like cavemen. Why would ANYONE want to kill another living human being? How can the human race even think about continuing to kill and kill and kill each other? What drives a man to take the life of another man? And will ANY of it ever have been worth it? No.

The special "Everybody Hates Jane" issue of my housing co-op newsletter The board of directors at my housing co-op have screwed up again, firing their 14th management company. HUD is disgusted with us, the residents do nothing, things go from worse to worse. But who do you think is gonna get blamed for all these disasters? ME! "Everybody Hates Jane".
