Landlord Tells Residents US Flags are Banned
At a candidates forum for Cambridge MA City Councilors Charles Marquardt handed out US flags. I said I'll take one while they are still legal. One of the limousine liberals heard what I said and glared at me. I did not know how big a problem it would be, nor how soon.

Credibility Varies
Mike Millard says, "Wall Street sociopaths who lied for years about the soundness of mortgage-backed securities and credit default swaps still escaped real censure." (MIKE MILIARD, "Lie of the land, Lying liars, and the end of accountability," Boston Phoenix, October 7, 2009) The New York and California Attorneys General are or have investigated the three ratings agencies that gave Triple A ratings to the credit default swaps.
Millard observes that "more and more people flock to sites like Factcheck, Politifact and Snopes to double- and triple-check what they're hearing." What if one or all three of the fact checking sites are no different than the three ratings agencies? Who decides who to believe?

More Than One Man Expresses an Idea
Considering that few political activists and fewer journalists support the US Constitution, it is heartening to learn that anyone holds the Constitution dearly.
(ADAM REILLY, "Latter day taint," Boston Phoenix, October 10, 2009) Knowing the mission of the KGB in America according to Oleg Kalugin, Chief of the KGB in the US, it is not fantasy or paranoia that Communism is strong in this country. As Kaiser Soze (Kevin Spacey) says in "The Usual Suspects," "The greatest lie the devil told was that he did not exist."
Regarding Beck's question about "you give the government your coat also, and have the government give that to the man." James Madison allegedly said, “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”

Politicians Continue Business as Usual as Violence Grows
Jesse Jackson "blamed the closure of Carver High School [. . .] for the violence." Then the teens who committed the crime are innocent?
US AG Holder and US Secretary of Education Duncan "met with Mayor Richard M. Daley and other officials at the Four Seasons Hotel" That's where one learns about causes of violence. It must be a high crime area like government buildings.
To combat "violence, [Chicago] Mayor Daley has called for more communication between police and schools. He also said he plans to use $1 million [. . .] for an after-school jobs program." In 1991 Princeton Professor John Di Iulio said there were 40 million young men who are godless, fatherless and jobless. Politicians believe they can eliminate teen violence by providing jobs. Unemployment is officially 9 percent nationally, 15 percent actually.

Universities Don't Tolerate Non Conformists
History Professor Stephen Frank told UCLA officials "he was concerned about his student's mental health after the student sent him several e-mails accusing classmates of taunting him and disrupting his exams." (Andrew Blankstein and Larry Gordon. "UCLA professor reported concerns about stabbing suspect last year," Los Angeles Times,
October 11, 2009) Here is evidence that anyone can make psychiatric diagnoses and have them published in major media outlets.
He ignored complaints about bullying and accused the victim of mental illness. What a guy. That is what politicians, organized crime, the FBI and police do to vulnerable persons.
An immigrant from Belize, was the student a first generation college student? How do students and elitist professors treat immigrants from small countries?
Based on personal opinion Professor Frank demanded forced treatment for the student. Like psychiatrists he designated non conformist behavior and speech as mental illness. Happening at a major university indicates little tolerance for eccentric legal behavior and speech.

Criticism is Allowed Only for Black Racists?
The Revs. Jackson and Sharpton are the most successful race mongers in this country. Jackson obtained a congressional seat for one son and a Budweiser franchise for another. Sharpton destroyed so many careers and lives that he is the least likely person to be talking about harming others. He sells racism and fails to pay taxes.

Dead Man and Dog walking
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'
'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.
'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.
Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up..'The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.
'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'
'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'
'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.
'There should be a bowl by the pump.'
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the water bowl and took
a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.
'This is Heaven,' he answered.
'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said.
'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'
'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.'
'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'
'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.'

HR 615 - Proposed Amendment
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.
Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple at:
http://fleming.house.gov/index.html
Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians. Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us.

Spinning Statistics
Promoting marriage for money over love Elizabeth Ford says "Perhaps that’s why one in every five elderly women living alone at retirement also lives below the poverty level." (ELIZABETH FORD, "Marry for money!" New York Post, October 11, 2009) How does it help her argument if 80 percent of these women are not below the poverty level? "There are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics" said Mark Twain.

Do Psychiatric Evaluations Violate Laws?
"If he's becoming a little more honest . . . he would have less anxiety," said Palm Beach sports psychologist Dr. John Murray. "He would sleep better at night and be more relaxed. More focused. That is key." (ANGELA MONTEFINISE and DOUGLAS MONTERO, "A-Rod on Kate & narrow," New York Post, October 11, 2009) Under US HIPAA laws it is a violation to reveal medical records without consent. This psychologist evaluates Alex Rodriguez without having met him and without his consent. Of what value is this fantasy? On what science does this sports psych impose on Rodriguez a pattern that may not apply to him? A-Rod is a superstar. How can psychologist (Dr.??? Murray) include superstars into their stereotypes of typical males?
Psychiatrists and psychologists have no fear making unlawful evaluations of persons with disabilities because the laws are seldom enforced to protect them. Compounding this abuse journalists publish the illegal work product and celebrate fantasies which may be harmful to the careers and reputations of the involuntary subjects evaluated.

"If he's becoming a little more honest . . . he would have less anxiety," said Palm Beach sports psychologist Dr. John Murray. "He would sleep better at night and be more relaxed. More focused. That is key." (ANGELA MONTEFINISE and DOUGLAS MONTERO, "A-Rod on Kate & narrow," New York Post, October 11, 2009) Under US HIPAA laws it is a violation to reveal medical records without consent. This psychologist evaluates Alex Rodriguez without having met him and without his consent. Of what value is this fantasy? On what science does this sports psych impose on Rodriguez a pattern that may not apply to him? A-Rod is a superstar. How can psychologist (Dr.??? Murray) include superstars into their stereotypes of typical males?

How to Avoid The Flu
How to Avoid The Flu
Eat right!
Make sure you get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.
Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C.
Get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system.
Walk for at least an hour a day, go for a swim, take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.
Wash your hands often. If you can't wash them, keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around.
Get lots of fresh air. Open doors & windows whenever possible.
Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.
Get plenty of rest.
OR
Take the doctor's approach.
Think about it...
When you go for a shot,
what do they do first?
They Clean your arm with alcohol...
Why?
Because Alcohol KILLS GERMS.
So......
I walk to the liquor store. (exercise)
I put lime in my Corona ...(fruit)
Celery in my Bloody Mary (veggies)
Drink outdoors on the bar patio..(fresh air)
Tell jokes, laugh....(eliminate stress)
Then pass out. (rest)
The way I see it...
If you keep your alcohol levels up, flu germs can't get you!
My grandmother always said, "A shot in the glass is better than one in the ass!"
