I was looking over blog stats last night and saw the usual, 200 hits a day plus or minus. It’s been like that for years. (It resembles a flat line.) I don’t actively promote the blog since that is against my idealistic nature. And anyway, most of what I write “goes right over everyone’s head,” as I was told in the early days. If I want readership, I’ve got to be more topical.
But there was an anomaly in the stats – on June 24 readership soared to 1,417. I looked back to that day – there were two posts, one about the curious Snowden affair, the other titled “Man of Steel: The 9/11 Reboot.” That’s what did it – reference to a popular movie.
In that vein, I offer the following:
- Lone Ranger!!!
- Royal baby!!!
- Zimmerman Trayvon Martin!!!
- You go, Democrats!!!
- Miley Cyrus wears tight clothing!!!
- Kanye, Jay Z!!!
- Dennis Farina dead at 69!!!
- Helen Thomas dead at 92!!!
That last one is out-of-place. Those who linked here for the former will have no clue of the inspirational work of the confrontational and courageous woman, Helen Thomas. She was a journalist. God rest ye, Ms. Thomas. You were good. Damned good.
Piece of Mindful 
Damn good.

I remember that. Jews can be very whiny and annoying, and were not allowed to say it because of the goddamned Holocaust, like they get to be perpetual victims while everyone else who suffered moved on. Another reason to like her!

I agree completely with Helen. She’s right! BTW, Swede, why are you such a Zionist lover? The creation of the illegal state of Israel is one of the WORST moves of the twentieth century. BIG mistake. And don’t even get me started on AIPAC. The jewish influence on our government is evil.

The word “racist” even tho non-specific in nature applies to only certain races.
For example if I said let’s send all the n****** back to Africa you’d have a sh*tfit.

It’s hard to categorize and I don’t much care about it. It’s a way for some people to claim moral superiority over others, which is quite a lot of popular politics in general. I tend to regard conquered or enslaved people as hindered in development and needing a hand up, but I certainly don’t call them names for sheer hatred. In warfare, racism is a way to solidify and demonize an enemy to make it easier to kill them. Ergo, gooks, slants, towelheads and the like.
It’s all ugly but part of all of us too. The easiest way to deal with it is to bring it to the surface and deal with it rationally, as you have apparently done here.
