Personality politics vs. the market

the MSM is worried that the (R) vp won't take questions.  Wonder what the market says:  oops, down triple digits and bailing out wall street again.  whoops, jobs and house are gone, credit is nil, can't buy anything, but we obsess over a Mean Girl's personality?  hmm, wonder what the market thinks?  

We have to raise taxes because of (R)'s

What kind of person thinks that the house they invested in for 200K would eventually be worth 2 million or more?  What kind of industry sells to that standard?  What kind of fed allows criminality of this magnitude?  This rancid economy belongs to the republicans, and any tax increase that will inevitably be needed, no matter when, shall be accrued to them and their incredible ineptitude and greed during the bushco years.

The idiots on cnbc are completely flummoxed by their market.  Hilarious to watch them look at each other in disbelief and then the "experts" coming on and saying "stay the course, blah, cyclical, bull-market correction, blah, blah, blah."  These guys are telling us to "buy a lottery ticket."  bozo's. 

If you have been renting and don't make enough to invest in the stock market, you're screwed double, since you can't be rescued, but you still get to pay for it.

US politics vs. love of country

Have to weigh in this year.  Every day that goes by that the People stay silent is another tragic "24".  No more drama, just writing it down and not making sense.

Going to a calling event for Obama later tonight.  Will also do an event for Darcy Burner is I can do it before I head south.  No way I can stand by and let conservatives take over our country.  I wander around the net and comment about this all the time, in fact, I've become sort of obsessive about it and I have to stop.  It's time to pound the sidewalk, burn the wires, talk to real people on the street about what is happening to our constitution.  We have come to the point of having to talk back and put action into our rage.  

Since Nicheren Shoshu and conventions that I participated in with them, I love our country because I was able to see it through the eyes of Nisei and Issei, Nihon that migrated here and see this country for what it was dreamt to be and I learned that dream from them.  Yes, I cried when those Olympian medel winners got to hear the anthem being played and they were winners but to hear the anthem, to know it was from your country, that makes you cry tears of joy for them and for us.

When you know what freedom was supposed to be, the mundane becomes the irreplaceable.  My thing is to work on the streets and now, to record that for my future generations here.

This is the most important election EVER, there is no excuse for hanging back, we can not afford any other action.  This is for you, kids.

John Kerry

He introduces Obama's uncle!  What a stroke of genius!  There is no way to explain how Mad Mac has chance in this election except for fear.  His uncle looks like any other white guy's uncle, what is there to be afraid.  Obama finally got me to get back on this page and post.  The constitution got me back on to post.  my ancestors got me back on this page. 

My overall malaise after my sister's memorial, my general unease about racism, my own and our country's, worrying that we cannot elect a black man.  He's not black, he's dirt and that is the highest compliment i can pay a non-native.  He belongs here as much as any of my ancestors who are stuck in the rivets of your shoes.  No human can check out of our collective destiny now.  The stakes are way too high.  Somehow, Barack's uncle snapped me out of it.  Family matters. 

Back from the Hole

Grief has paralyzed us but now our year since is over and their spirit has risen within us, their names said out loud: Patsy, Nellie, Cindy, Alec and Aaron.  Our daughters, sisters, brothers, sons, mothers, aunts and friends, celebrated for the what they did and said but mostly, for how much they touched all of us, how much love and respect we shared.  Our pre-Amerikkkan nations will never be the same and this year has proved that grief cannot be measured, only given a framework, such as we have, to let it work itself out within and without, alone and with all, as we did together this past weekend in Lapwai.  May what they gave us, what they put into us as they left, stay with us in the years ahead so our families stay together in grief or joy, forever.

Grandiosity

It's either gradiosity or suicide, so here i sit.  at least i'll dispense with caps, to save one lousy key press.  

escapism has been modus operandi so far.  apractice of "religion", not christian, has been a defining event but lost via apathy and a basic laziness.  being a "practitioner" is much different than simply attending some pious event once a week.  now that my mood for running away has waned, mainly because i'm too tired, makes me turn to my relatives, my tribe long dead to make sense of some small items on my drop dead list.

how they will communicate becomes a guessing game for me but writing it out must be my purpose and since i have used a lot of ink, i might as well just start bringing up the paper and writing it randomly here as well.  i have no time to waste on doubt or giving a shit what ANYONE else thinks.  who has time for that?

in front of me the continuous stream of sunday traffic is on a small dot screen before me.  a perspective that is cut in half with rage at what has happened to our trails and the animals that trod it, not happy, but not extinct either.  two freeway directions to hell, with poison boxes rolling it's occupants to sunday services or a late breakfast.

screw them.  one day there will be a HOV lane, but the "H" will mean "horse".

a little angry are we?

greed is good for a select few, native people have known that for hundreds of years.  

ordinary citizens may not know, but they have been stealing from us, via their federal govt, for every minute that the bureau of indian affairs has been in existence.  check out the cobell case currently in litigation to understand that the feds will owe us TRILLIONS for their greed and dishonesty towards their "wards", each tribal person with an individual indian money accounts at the BIA.  

Should be no surprise that not only is the US govt responsible for bungling incompetence with Bush but for general thievery and outright and illegal land-grabbing in the past under such scum presidents like Jackson and scum senators like Gorton.

sadly, history has been sanitized to reflect the hero pilgrim, instead of the true image of the dirty, lying, thieving, ignorant newcomer with diseases to spare, sundering everything in their path with the glee of knowing they will have everything for free.

it's no wonder we have to suffer this, it's been in the making for a long time.  greed is only good for the lowest common people, those willing to steal, and the rest of us have to pay.
