Home grown Islamic terrorist leader Anwar Al Alahee was taken out by our government today by a drone missile. Apparently President Obama gave the word to take this guy out, so we did. Alaki war born in the US in 1971 in New Mexico before heading up a Mosque in San Diego. Then he moved to Yemen. Alaki was a true 21st. Century terrorist, who made liberal use of the internet. They say he gave a “religious and intellectual venier to acts of murder. Alaki was targeted for being “taken out” and I don’t mean, to dinner based on little evidence usable in court and with no due process. Now they are afraid of his ally “Internet followers” will plan vengeance. I have a question. How many murders are followers of Alahi responsible for verses how many murders have been committed in Jesus of Nazareth’s name? That kind of puts the thing in a whole new perspective. Jesus was also targeted by his government as a “security threat” who needed to be taken out. (Selah) Apparently people had been saying that Alihi was one of the few moderate Al Qaeda members who dialoged with the other side. I guess he was some kind of instructor at San Diego or something. Alahi (?) is connected with no less than three US terrorist events and he also knew two of the nineteen 9 – 11 hijackers. He was connected with the Times Square bombing guy in early May of 2010. I remember we were in the lobby of my Mom’s place talking about what a flook it was they fingered him to alert citizens. Judy had some weird theory about this guy I don’t remember now. I remember I had my old camera with me. Anwar Al Alahee is also connected with the underwear bomber, and he was on speaking terms with the “psychiatrist” associated with the Ft. Hood shootings or whatever. There is just one problem with his being dead. And that is the man is a U S Citizen and our government is not known for wasting its own people, no matter who they are. I imagine civil liberties groups will protest the killing, despite the fact that this incident will help give the President a badly needed boost in the polls. The Federation had no reaction at all to the death of Bin Laden, and this case should prove likewise. Their thinking is “So what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?” Sometimes I get the feeling Al Qaeda is like the abortion issue. The right wants to keep it around so they have an enemy.
Facts accumulate that Dr. Conrad Murray is guilty as sin. He lied about how soon he called emergency. Because the paramedics team responded in twelve minutes and by the time they got there the body was cold. The paramedics gave him stimulant drugs to try and revive Jackson. But they noted that a forty dollar alarm, just may have alerted others of trouble. Dr. Murray was seen within minutes scurrying around scooping up Lasex and other drugs. As you know the legal term in instructions to juries is "Knowledge of guilt". Dr. Murray also has repeatedly claimed that he never administered Propothol to Jackson. That’s what the paramedics claim that Dr. Murray told them, and they have no reason to lie. Now a gag order has been slapped on the attorneys. Apparently he’s mad at the defense team for commenting on this trial prominently to the media. He’s tired of “repeated commentary on the credibility of witnesses and the proposed strategy. I guess my big fear is that the prosecution always seems to blow these high profile media cases despite it looking like a slam-dunk.
OK now that I’ve had another dose of nicotine medication I can think. By the way if anybody in the blogersphere is curious what Clint looks like, just think of Joseph Gordon Levitt. Actually there is a time when he could have played Clint, being only about five years younger. In other words Uncle Bob and I do have one quirky thing in common and that is we both have our mother’s maiden name as our middle name. I always wondered what the D in official addresses referred to. I thought it was a common name like Donald or Daniel. Of course my Dad has that weird French name I’ve heard nowhere else. And there is Nana’s whole “French Connection” and I guess that’s through her father. She’s a regular Vivian Alamaine the way she dropped those French expressions into the conversation. She says she got her belly from her father’s side of the family. You know all that geniological stuff only went back to the early 1800’s. But I heard back at the Upland house thirty years ago at a gathering that our family had its roots in Anendale, Scottland in the 1600’s. I don’t know. Maybe it was that guy who fell overboard on the Mayflower who was the link to America that early, or would have been. How would you like to be the baby on the “Never-mind” album cover by Nirvana. They are making a big thing out of that twenty year anniversary. In soap land John Black has been arrested. It’s nice to know how all the clues link up. They have an Austin who looks like the other Austin but has a different voice. And we have this mystery woman that Elvis plans to replace Nicole with. To me Nicole is in a distinct “Nefritiri’ position to be a mover and a shaker. She can dictate the terms of their divorce, or maybe prevent it altogether if she so chooses. Personally I think Nicole should divorce E J and marry me. We’re more compatible. I think Elvis needs to show her a little respect. How does Salem neglect a mayor with simotanious sexual relations with two sisters, one of which is a porn star and the other sister used to be a hooker - - as his credits? This is Middle America after all, where they have stricter sexual morays than we do out here. Maybe they should clue us in on this new “wife” that’s somehow supposed to give Elvis Di Mire respectability he’d lacked till now. Now he wants to clean up corruption in this town. “Victor, that means YOU”.
The Lysteria bacteria is back and on the rise and infecting the cantaloupe crop. Bill says it’s just in Colorado. But of course germs hide in the thick, rough skin. This is a bacteria you don't want to mess with. We have never ceased to have cantaloupe for lunches and nobody has gotten sick yet. It was then I learned that the incubation period for lysteria is from one week to two months, and when it hits you develop violent intestinal symptoms. This place would never get a cleanliness aware anyhow. We believe in the old fashioned approach here. Develop your own immune systems because we all know “Whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger”. I’ll take a coffee sip break now. You know there are a lot of TV movies about possible bacteria terrorist attacks and given the poliferation of experimental viruses and bacteria in labs around the country, I hate to say this, but probability speaking it isn't a question of whether, but when.
Today is September 30, 2011 and they are warning us of musty smelling water. We had a resident’s council meeting this afternoon and it was one of the longest, most boring meetings of all time. It was hard to hear people since carts were rolling by, they were running the dish washer in the kitchen, and it was a large resonant room and people weren’t speaking very loud, including Pete and JW. And Bruce would chime in with his irrelivent babblings that somehow made enough coherent sense for Pete to continue to listen to him. He kept going on and on about visiting the gift shop at Knott’s Berry farm. I asked whether it’s true that nobody went to the Bowers Museum and Pete said that was true. It was too close to the end of the month and nobody had any money. I asked if we could have flavored rice like we used to and also mentioned having pastries for breakfast like we had a long time ago. Apparently there is a continuing epidemic of stolen items. I guess we are blessed with an honest housekeeper. This evening I went out for a smoke and Bill said that Donnie had already come and gone. I tracked him down way down the east wing. If I were a name dropper I would brag to people that I’ve had a room on the West Wing for over ten years. Yeah, I’m a holdover from the Bush Administration. Of course I used to have house mates named John, Paul, and George at Palm Street in late April early May of 1977. But George only lived with us a short time, who was John’s brother. And Paul is a classified name anyhow. It’s just us chickens here. The coffee is ready now. The clouds look interesting enough to actually get out my camera and take pictures.
We had beef stew for dinner. Before this I had the KTLK guy on the radio, and at long last that model plane explosives story has finally hit the news. I was about twenty hours ahead of the learning curve on this one having put out the story last night. I checked over the Howard stuff this afternoon just to make sure I said what I wanted to say and no more, and had all the dates right. So I mixed the rice and stew together. There was squash, and we had a piece of chocolate cake for desert and Andy gave me his piece. I got a cigarette from Joe. I owe Francis two. I owe Bill Warrell one. I’ve gotten through today with no cigarettes and I’ll hit the ATM machine tomorrow morning and watch the spending so I don’t get precarious like I was this past month.
