The Twelfth Man - Imam - Dimension - Revisited

But first let's talk about the chaotic state we find the world in as Lady and I look out tonight from Desolation Row.  The government in Libya has fallen apart.  Now Islamists are having a pool party at the US Embassy doing videos of themselves doing swan dives off the building into the swimming pool.  Who's invited?  There are two factions fighting each other.  Meanwhile Egypt and the UAE are sending troops there to invtervene and restore order or something.  John Mc Cain is right about ISIS and Ukraine, of course.  I think people have come to realize though that to successfully mount a convincing attack on ISIS we need to invoke the Powell doctrine of having consensus support of the world including most importantly those Sunni Moslems who are opposed to ISIS,  Several weeks ago we are thinking of bringing Iran into the conflict, but people see now that this would be an unnecessarily complicating factor.  It's a good thing that the Iraq army finally got its shit together sufficiently to win a battle with the aid us US air support and free those people who were under siege and were in danger of being captured and tortured and perhaps worse.  But the President has to beware of the "Optics" of the situation and every word he says, every speech he or his White House press secretary will be weighed and scrutenized and analyzed to death.  The last thing our President wants to appear to be right now is indecisive.  And we know the president does "Indecisive" very well - - or is that poorly, or at least all too frequently for comfort.  In the Ukraine theater of war- - my first inclination as President would be exactly to do what John Mc Cain was suggesting today on "Face the Nation".  As an aside it must be a real boost to John Mc Cain's ego that "Every time the Media wants the definitive statement on a particular foreign conflict, they always turn to Me.  We should do "lend lease" and arm the Ukrainians and turn the tide against Putin.  Unfortunately there is an important question we must ask first.  And that is "Is this war winable".  The answer to that question is highly dubious because Putin is an egomaniac.  He has Nukes and he states that he's not afraid touse them, and I doubt any sane person wants to call his bluff and press him too far.  You know what they say.  Rats turn vicious when trapped in a corner.  Aside from a revelation from God Himself- - I personally as President, no mater where my heart was, would want some confirmation that this thing wouldn't blow up in my face.  So perhaps first, just like ISIS, we need a better propaganda campaign to turn the hearts and minds of Europe against Putin and the Russian forces.  Clearly this man is an agressor, and apeasment won't work.  Many thought he would stop with anexing Crimea.  He didn't.  Many thought Putin would just roll over and give up when a few weeks back the Ukrainian forces seemed to have the upper hand in this conflict.  Instead Putin increased the stakes and escalated the conflict.  It takes little imagination from here to see that escalation will beget escalation, and what would win the war now will be woefully ineffective and useless in a few weeks after Putin escalated the conflict further.  So the bottom line for me is I wouldn't know what to do.  But I could always turn to John Mc Cain for advice.

The number twelve has always been mystic.  It was two years ago we did a dissertation on- - for instance football and now the Twelfth Man in football are the fans.  The image here was of God Himself and "Being seen' by another in a perspective that we couldn't possibly partake of ourselves.  And then the Islamists speak of the Twelfth Imam.  Who is to say who he is or whether the Shiites believe he's on his way.  And I don't know if this Islamic "Calaphate" of ISIS also believes in the Twelfth Imam or whether their theology goes off in some other direction.  But since those days we have shuffled our Dimensions around and done a little prunkng, and yanked out three dimensions.  And so we really don't have a Twelfth Dimension now- - so maybe I should have tagged this posting "The eleventh dimension".  Dimension number ten is the dimension of Dynamics - - and again those of you electronicly inclined may think of Decibels.  But it's dimension number eleven that I now would like to expound on in a way I haven't before.  We told you this eleventh dimension is one of - Arrangement - - Placement of - - - Things or whatever.  It's the dimensions of Patterns, of either the presence or lack of them, and sometimes being able to tell the Difference.  (Selah)   With patterns often we find Intelligence- - and the human brain is hard wired to instinctively recognise Intelligent Design - - and the human brain is way better than any Computer in this ability.  But then we have the other concept- - my version of string or fung chue theory - - and these are two things I link.  I don't speak of the micro string of the physicist, but rather the macro string- - - great big long strings.  And just as strings of musical instruments vibrate and generate musical notes- - or one might say - - Patterns of sound impulses - - so I believe this eleventh dimension generates Ideas.  So this is my lame attempt to give that ancient Greek concept of "The Idea" some form of actual physicality.  And these ideas are neither spacially nor time limited.  And when an idea appears somewhere it is limited neither by Space nor by Time.  And here is where we get that word everybody uses but few people understand called Synchronicity.  Now since you have the SAME idea in two different places - - since the IDEAS themselves by their "material nature"  (to use an almost psudo theological term) are in fact NOT LIMITED in either space or time, but particularly space- - we thus deduce that said Ideas don't have the inherent limitations of Travel that the rest of us have.  Then we come to that other mental hurdle I'll endeavor (hopefully not in vain) to leap.  Since we too as part of our - - psychic nature  (I used the word here to denote the Mind or the Self or the Souil)  we also partake in this thing called Intelligence- - them we have what you'd call in math as a "Common denominator' to relate in.  Just to review and revive a few brain cells you may have picked up from some collect lecture- - Wave relates to Wave a lot more easily than you can relate Wave with Water.  (Selah)  In other words it's my belief that we can make use of this "Common denominator", which is Intelligence.   Of course science- - those into physics - - may be quite willing to make part of this "Intellectual leap" I'm about to make, with me, but at a certain point they will balk.  They may well concede that "Yes there is a lot of this thing called ENERGY out there - - which gives scientific measurability to what I am talking about (to a degree)  And they will say "Yes, it's possible psychic transmissions may be able to be done at the speed of light".   But what I have always proposed even going back into the eighties is that the speed of light is FAR TOO SLOW for the sort of teleportation I'm talking about.  Yes I'll say there is energy.  But we don't go to an Art Museum to see lumps of clay- - that is - - the physical substance or "medium" (a term artists use) and so I say that this "Energy" is just a physical (such as it is) "Medium" that Intelligence "uses" or makes use of, but does not partake of it's material nature.  So the question or rather, proposition is - - since Intelligence is what we relate to - - or to use a simpler analogy- - it could be said we know not Carbon but the Carbon 'Pattern' of electrons, protons and newtrons, so to speak - - we relate to the pattern and only indirectly the substance.  So lets transport the Pattern.  Just think about it.

  Astronomy Cafe is one of the few places that states that "We are actually nine tenths binding energy rather than our quarks (or more specifically Baryons)  So if somehow - - and Star Trek is based on what I'm about to say by way of proposition - - Since- - Energy is Nine Tenths of our Mass - - and quantom physics tells us that is a LOT - - of Energy- - and since energy seems somehow easier to think about - - the Star Trek people believe (perhaps wrongly) that energy is easier to transport than matter- - meaning Baryons - where we (wrongly) believe most of our mass is.  But even with Star Trek there is still the Logical (and logistical) problem of "So you've gotten rid of nine tenths of the problem - - but nobody wants to be nine tenths somewhere else and have part of their body "off" somewhere.

Now on a cosmic note of our own - - (by way of light intermission entertainment)  I wanted to say that the style of music the Corsellians have is very similar to the style of music the Denelis II people have.  It's pretty hard for all but the season conosures of that music to tell them apart.  However one can say that Corsellian music generally has more of a "chunky" and I'd use the word "heavy" quality to describe it.  And there is one group we want to reassign to the Corsellian group and that is "Paul Revere and the Raiders" (Mark Lindsey is their lead singer)  Some groups are so similar rhythmically and stylistically - - you can't keep them straight without a score card.  Take Maurie Head singing "One Night in Bancock" and the theme to "Ghost Busters".  Very similar type of tracks, in terms of style.  However "Bancock" is "Karn Evel" and "Ghostbusters" is the Phil Collins group- - a star in Cassiopia.  Karn Evil is a star in Aquilla.  It's my hope that this last paragraph not be counted against me in terms of my intellectual credibility.

The Outlook This Labor Day

President Obama has yanked the football once again - - and why not?  It’s a new season.   How many times to we have to be disappointed at President Obama flaking out on the job?  We were promised a “Public Option” on health care.  That’s what he ran on.  We were promised a complete repeal of the Bush tax cuts and we didn’t get that, and when we got some of it, it was two years later.  We know about President Obama “line in the sand” with Syria.  We know how last week that President Obama approached the plate and then balked, and refused to order a systematic invasion of the ISIS power.  And now it’s another disappointment.  President Obama has been saying all summer that he was going to issue a proclamation on liberalizing immigration policy on Labor Day, just as last summer- - for weeks and weeks we were told “President Obama is going to take action on Assad in Syria any day now”.   Well now the President is saying that he’s decided NOT to act on immigration policy.  Even Rush Limbaugh was in agreement that it was politically smart to speak on immigration because it would spur democrats to the polls and increase Latino support for the 2016 Presidential election.  Now to whom will those disaffected people give their vote?  The President - - was already exhausting the patience of the Latino constituency as it was, and now this suddenly balking instead of stepping up to the plate- - is going to infuriate them further and cause many people who would have come out to the polls, to now stay home.  When one thinks of President Obama the old adage is true that “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  President Obama now has 55% disapproval numbers as opposed to 39% who still approve.  Now the President seems bent on whitteling that number down further.  To paraphrase a song “Should 39 appear to small, be thankful he hasn’t lost it all” when it comes to personal credibility.  The President is nothing but a gutless coward. 

I listened to the republican response on KNX.  It was this Indiana guy bemoaning the loss of the coal mining industry in - - Indiana.   He stated “President Obama has declared war on the coal industry”, which in fact I heard the President say just the opposite discussing “clean coal” as an energy alternative.  Virtually all of the Republican “jobs” bills center on fomenting ecological disasters or abandoning safety regulations.  There is a roomer that Republicans won’t change ANY tax laws encouraging businesses to stay in the country or return to this country- - unless every last aspect of their fanciful tax plans is put into law.  Later on I listened to this economic program a half hour.  Some calls were pure republican propaganda puppets.  The host tried to set them straight.  Occasionally you’d get the overzealous democrat too.   But there is this persistent perception that the President is a magic genie who can wave his hand and cure all our economic problems.  Where do they get these ideas?  I also had Chris Matthews on (first) and he talked about ISIS and the serious threat they obviously are now.  But the president is waffeling on the issue which won’t play well in Peoria, if you know what I mean.  The smartest thing he can do is be Mr Bad Ass in the White House- - and dare the Republicans to criticize him for THAT.  Meanwhile more undecided people will vote for democrats in the next congress.  I really wish they’d go out to their old site lay-out.  I liked it better.

I’m not happy about that Texas court ruling on abortion clinics.  Pardon me for actually sounding like a “liberal” person- - if you take the word “Abortion” out of this.  It’s my belief that the state has an interest in looking after the safety of patient care in that state, and is completely authorized to legislate on any safety procedures they care to, and doctors have to abide by them.  But is it the legislature’s fault that these abortion back alley clinics are so slipshod that they don’t past muster.  And what’s so funny is the woman said “Well there are other agencies women can go to to get prenatal care and advice” and the man says “Yeah, but they don’t do abortions”.  I think this issue is going to hurt Wendy Davis.  After all this is Texas we are talking about.  Gun reform won’t fly in Arizona and liberalized abortion rulings won’t fly in Texas.  We’ve seen the same thing with medical marijuana in California and some outlets have had to close.  Can I go up to Sacramento and carry and protest “I regard Pot as a Constitutional Right”?

Finally we have this football thing.  This Baltimore Raven guy was only given a two game suspension for spousal abuse.  That lieniency won’t fly in these times when everyone is conscience of the problem with battered women, not the least of which is this ISIS stuff that’s on all of our minds.  But on that other matter- - I am against Michael Sam - - that defensive guy from the St Louis Rams- - being cut at the last minute.  They say he played one of his best games, and let’s face it – cutting him is just strategically stupid- - and a mistake - - if this guy gets picked up by another team and that team begins winning games.  I mean, the way I see it the Rams need all the help they can get.  I just hope there isn’t any “good ol’ boy” locker room mentality that went into this player being cut, and that it truly was unsatisfactory performance.  Of course both on the gay and abortion issue- - the reason why neither is mentioned so little in the Bible is that they are both such supremely unnatural acts- - particularly a mother aborting her own child- - it never occurred to the Bible writers that these things needed to be commented on.

Then it was Breakfast with the Beatles.  They had Billy J Cramer on as guest, whom they’ve had before.  I didn’t know that “I’ll Keep You Satisfied’ or the still rarer “From a Window” were both Lennon – Mc Cartney compositions.  But I remember “Window” being a multi track lead vocal.  Either I have a bad memory or there was a different version of the song out in America.  Billy J Cramer says that John Lennon would audition a new song for them, and they’d have it all learned and recorded several hours later.  That’s kind of hard to believe, even for back them.  It seems to be their bread and brother.  Cramer found George Martin a little polished and intimidating.  They even played their own B side version of “I Call Your Name”, which is a whole lot better than I had been expecting.  Of course John Lennon entered this point where he wanted to divert from the “Beatle formula” and begin making songs- - chunkier- - with more of a “heavy” quality such as “You Can’t Do That”, “When I Get Home”, and “Baby’s in Black”.   And I told you that one times in I Tunes I listened to Lennon do “I’m in Love with a Beautiful Girl” from some bootleg 1963 EMI recording sessions I’ve heard no more about.  In the dining room I heard “I’ll Keep You Satisfied” and would have been more “Satisfied” if I were listening on my own sound system in here.  Cramer performed with all of the other usual Liverpool invasion groups.  Today was also “Mono recording” day.   Interestingly as no time in the whole program – that I was listening – did I ever hear a track off of mono “Something New”.

 I had Leo Le Port on and he was saying he’s a digital and not an analog man.  The stuff about ohms of electronic components is counter intuitive in that it seems as if - - the weaker the current or signal - - not the decibel modulated signal but the raw current- - the weaker that is, the higher the OHMS are.  So you have 300 ohm antenna cable and eight ohm speakers.  But it’s a case of the new math because one eight ohm output won’t drive two fours.  Four and four don’t make eight; eight and eight make four.  I found from personal experimentation that four ohms is higher output than eight and eight ohms is higher output than sixteen.  Of course sometimes like with that transistor ratio- - it will work with one amplifier but not with another. Sometimes the grounding is different.  Sometimes you get "radio" but it's picked up in the wires - and not the thing you were plugging in.  Sometimes something that registers hum on one amplifier will register as radio on another- - probably do to diode rectification circuits.  And sometimes to get it to work you have to clip onto the prongs of the electric plug and the minute you turn the appliance or whatever on- - it seems to deliver some sort of inductance or amperage and “suck out all of the hum and interference” and you get a clear signal.  So much of what I “know” in electronics is from personal experimentation.  But there are other kinds of “new math” out there- such as addition with casting out of nines, or addition of volosities with quantum physics.  And then there is the diminishing remainder math where for instance, three fifths plus three fifths equals - - - thirteen fifteenths, or leaving two fifteenths unused.  You can formulate this stuff easily in Excel.  You can keep it to simple intiger proper fractions.  The first leg would be nine fifteenths.  You need to use fifteenths as your common denominator of five and three.  And since 2 is two thirds of 3 you know of the remaining 6 / 15^th you’re going to use four.  Also just after noon was a Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young reunion concert tour in July of 1974 and I ever so vaguely remember something like that.  They played a much longer, developed version of “Love the one You’re With” as well as “Wooden Ships” and “Helpless, Helpless”, which Dylan ripped off three years later.  Of course- given the pathetic state of pop songs on the radio in summer 1974, a four year time-warp would be most welcome.

Yes, It's Another Governor Christie Scandal!

There was a Newsweek reporter or writer or something sitting in for Norman Goldman.  And he validated one of my pet peeves.  As you know I have frequently said that when you give your money to an investment manager you are just throwing your money out the window, because most often these people don’t even manage to do as well as the financial averages, such as the Standard and Poor’s 500.  Today this guy illustrated that fact.  Governor Chris Christy is a guy we haven’t heard from much lately.  Well what he does is invests pension funds of people to whom the money is due by law when they retire- - he invests it with these expensive Wall Street managers.  And he and other governors who do the same thing, don’t even come up to the median level of state pension funds without high priced management.  This came as no surprise to me.  However Chris Christy gets a kick-back of course.  These same handpicked managers donate to his campaign and in fact worked closely during his 2012 reelection campaign.  But it goes beyond that.  Now the Republicans have a law to explicitly repeal this 2011 security and exchange commission law expressly forbidding campaign donations by investment managers.  They claim they are doing it on the grounds of “Free Speech” first amendment rights.  But the thing is, it isn’t even THEIR money.  They have a trust, a “fiduciary duty” to invest the funds of the people who entrusted the funds to him as wisely and safely as possible.  So it’s not even his decision to make whether he decides or not to exercise said “Free Speech”.  Of course now Christie is mad at this Newsweek reporter.  Christie is nothing but a two bit self serving bully, who is pretty much tempermentally unfit for ANY government office, in my opinion.  This reporter states that “government processes take time”.  Well there has already been “Time” and a lot of it.  Bridegate occurred last September.  It’s been nearly a year.  But the situation is complicated by the fact that New Jersey is among only five states where the Attorney General of the state is handpicked by the Governor, and not put up for election by the people.  But there is another scam going on, too that you know about from the Post Office pension funds.  That is, there are often requirement of very lengthly amounts- - - so you can say “The pension fund is short by X amount” when in the case of the Post Office, they require funding for the next 75 years.  Therefore when it comes time to deliver on these pensions to the retiring workers, they will say “Oh our pension fund is short; we can’t pay it”.  Often, as in the case of Ronald Reagan stealing from the Social Security trust fund to “bring down the deficit” that politicians have deliberately NOT been putting everything into these funds that the law mandates.  But I’m wondering who would vote for a politician who says “I’m a snake in the grass-  and I stole your money- but I’ve impressed right wing tea party members how “efficient” I am with government”.   I don’t see how the American people can continue to go along with this crap from politicians year after year.   But somehow they haven’t added up two and two.

In the case of the recent naked and undesguirsed overt military aggression by Russia - - you might be surprised to learn that when it comes to Vladimir Putin, some people still live in a "parrellel universe".  And Thom Hartman is one of those people.  He was talking with someone about Putin and Ukraine- - and the alleged “wrong involvement” the United States has in this situation, which seems to have undergone a news black-out.  If I knew more about it I’d blog about it, but I don’t.  All I know is that President Obama has been rather limp wristed about both the ISIS thing and now this new Soviet agression.  Allow me to use a little Rush Limbaugh mockery right now.  Because "Soviet Union' is the politically "correct" term, you know, because in Putin's mind the Soviet Union never went away.  And the mindset that the Soviet leaders of old had of the world, Putin STILL has.  It's a world he wants to bring back.  (Selah)  I didn’t see a recent posting in George Washington’s blog on the “first shooting war in Europe” since Kosovo.  Now Thom Hartman and friend are saying the Kosovo war was wrong, too, because of course the Soviets love Serbia.   So Thom Hartman is among the rights of the Putin ass kissers, and justify anything he’d do.  To hear these people talk, that Ukraine as a condition to its very existence, had to covenant that it would never adopt anything relating to Europe or NATO and this is a bucket of bogus crap, and I’m amazed it would even be proposed that nations don’t have sovereignty to make their own decisions.

On “The Big Picture” Thom Hartman took on a black man and a white woman.  They say such bogus things such as “Al Gore’s policies are taking food out of the poor because all of these poor African communities are just yearning to develop their resources, but the UN isn’t allowing them to do it”.   It boggles my mind when they have this fake sympathy for the poor.  And these two also say in response to Hartman informing “Medical costs in this country all around are down the past few years” and they respond, “Well, that’s what happens when you have medical service rationing”.   These two said they were for law and order but didn’t like Clinton’s plans to put a hundred thousand more cops on the beat.  And they didn’t like Hartman’s claim that there are so many unqualified police because they don’t pay them a decent salary, so people of quality don’t even apply”.  And of course they said that the total number of Blacks shot by cops is 101, which somehow I doubt because we see cases of that all the time just in the LA area.  Rush Limbaugh said trying to be sarcastic “Well what are these people expecting in Ferguson- - another Black shooting?”  And it turns out that’s just what happened the following week.  Most often the bring up an entirely different subject- - and don’t allow Hartman to complete one sentence.  Even some of the concessions they claim willing to make that sound a little liberal- - you know if someone asked them “Do you really believe that?” they’d say “No”.   And they roared with approval when Hartman said “Ronald Reagan undid all of the energy policies Carter instituted that would have given us energy independence by the year two thousand”.    There were other times during the morning when Hartman was talking about how the Supreme Court “Blew up all our campaign spending laws that seemed to be working so well”.  Hartman also listed the many bills that has passed the US Senate, but got filibustered by the Republicans.  These days every vote on any issue taxes sixty votes in the Senate, not the constitutionally mandated majority.  Thom said “It used to be only in area of conscience like abortion or something they would filibuster; but now it’s every bill”.   I went out in the morning for coffee and had two cups.  But basically - - it seems things are either a recent rerun, or else there is just no fresh news on anything.

I think even more disturbing to me personally when it comes to the Ferguson shooting is not the deed itself, but the way the local establishment has tried to cover it up.  But even more to the point, the way the Tea Party makes Officer Wilson a folk hero the same way they made Cliven Bundy a folk hero, or that Duck Dynesty guy, or George Zimmerman.   Their stance seems to be “Well you can’t prove he did it, and frankly- - I don’t care that you get obstructed in your search for the Truth of what really happened.  And besides even if he did it- - I really don’t care because you know these Blacks- - the guy had it coming”.   To show how bias the media is, they had an “expert guest” on whether that audio tape of the Ferguson shooting was genuine or not, so they get an LAPD officer.  That’s like electing the manager of a slaughter house as the next president of PETA.  But guess what?   He didn’t dismiss the tape out of hand.  He said he didn’t know if it was genuine or not.  But to the Media - - a Maybe means “Hell No’.  And naturally they want to hear this “expert witnesses reasoning” or at least I do.  He said “Well, you know it seems suspiciously like a prank they’d do on the Howard Stern show”.  That’s it.  No facts.  Just this “I think we’ve been Punked” and Howard Stern stuff.  In other words- - the fact we know who made the tape and where it was recorded - - and we can get sound experts in there to validate it as the same acoustics - - none of this matters.  All they can say is “Well I think it’s suspicious that this recording didn’t surface for over two weeks.”   And the way they spin words is amazing.  Instead of saying for instance “The FBI is examining the tape right now”, they will instead say “The FBI has not validated the tape” putting the whole thing in the negative.

Not to put too fine of a point on it, but just now on Eye Witness news this older couple was on vacation and they had their home well secured, just like the Police Dept recommends - against "intruders" but the police department used a battering ram to bash in the front door when they weren't home, and then proceded to trash the place- - as well as smash open other locked doors - - in search of a stolen computer.  They turned the security cameras to the ceiling "for the safety of the police" in case they were under remote surveilance by some dangerous gang ready to ambush them.  There is anther place where a black man had his house broken into by the police in the dead of night- - and the guy was in his underwear - and he was informed by the police by a gay couple that had just moved in next door that there was a "prowler" at the next house, meaning the color of his skin was wrong.  Then we have President Obama talking about the case of the police "acting stupidly" by arresting a Black man who had been locked out of his own house.  The only thing I'd have said differently- - is I'd be a whole lot diplomatic than saying "acted stupidly".  I'm sure the word Pigs would have made my way into my description somewhere.  Then there is this marine corporal who was Black, of course, who was stopped driving home one mile from his house.  When asked why he was stopped the cops just said something like "Because we feel like doing it" and the guy was roughed up.  But in the case of the right wing- - there is no point as which they will say "We agree with you in this case; you are right".   No matter how blatant or corrupt a police action the right will as with one voice say "The police are never wrong".   Instead they criticise the President for "injecting himself into a local situation".  And I DO NOT believe the statistic quoted by that "mixed" couple Hartman had on that Four Times as many Whites are gunned down unjustly as Blacks.  But let's suppose that the killing of a Black man is an excedingly Rare event by the police.  All the more important that people say "This Is An Exception".  There is no point on ANY political issue where the Right Wing says "Enough!" or "Now you're going too far" or "This crosses the line".   Remember for Rush there IS no "line" of what is fanatical and what is not.  So really to continue with the Road metaphor- - there IS no point at which it's even theoretically possible for the car to carreen off the right side of a mountain cliff, for instance.  (Selah)

I ought to at least mention the high waves of two days ago, which made the national news.  A big wave drenched a bunch of people who thought they were safe on the sand.  The waves were up to twenty feet.  One guy said they were the highest he’d seen since 1997, and another said they only get waves like that every twenty years.  Of course it was high tide, too- - and structures close to the water were impacted.  Twice Bill has turned down a peach cigarette tail end.   Our AC is still working well.   I haven’t heard any more about that Ferguson shooting audio recording.  Perhaps I can Google it.  They keep saying Thursday is football night.  Let’s check.  There is no football.  Now a USC football team member has been suspended for lying.  I guess next time it will be shooting spitballs or chewing gum during practice.   He lied about his sprained ankle, and I don’t know why and I don’t care.  It’s nothing worth starting WW III over.  It seems as if there will be a lot tougher penalties for football players guilty of domestic violence.  Several weeks ago I heard roomers of a whole new raft of player safety rules.
