"Anything worth selling is worth selling twice. "
Increasingly I am reminded that I am falling out of touch with contemporary America. Comcast was broadcasting "Borat" tonight. It received such buzz and so many awards I determined to watch it when it came to TV. The movie sucked! Jokes were not funny. The antisemiticism was even artificial. If I had paid to see this bag of horse shit I would be suing every one involved in making, marketing, or distributing the steaming heap for false advertising.
Have we fallen so far that incompetence and stupidity are our standards for humor? No wonder George Carlin died. He knew the depths American comedy was plummeting into. Every movie Richard Pryor made was a doctoral dissertation by comparison. Get thee to a manure processing plant Hollywood.
I went to the doctor today with a laundry list of disconnected symptoms but especially a swollen, painful right foot. Doctor Fields listened patiently as I told him about the young woman determining I had low blood iron and what I suspected about her motive. I also told him about my swollen foot and brittle finger nails and the sensation of my eyes being foggy and the huge amount of sleeping lately and how I tire so easily and my recent weight gains. He examined me and found that I have, somehow, strained my ankle and thus have an infection. He gave me CEPHALEXIN 500 mgs to take 4 times a day. The things are huge. I am to see an optometrist before I leave on my bus trip. He also recommended cutting back the Centrum Silver vitamins to one a day. He told me to also eat more gelatin. He said that possibly my increased activity during therapy has just triggered hunger while not increasing my metabolism. He insist that I find a way to burn more calories.
Then we talked about my proposed trip to Israel in January 2010. This trip is becoming less likely because the pains in my back and hips are not being relieved by the physical therapy. We also talked about the safety aspect and he reminded me that soldiers are every where there and are carrying Uzis. He said he loved his trip to Israel years ago.
After several extended bus trips and my wife's gift to me of an iphone I am leaning toward making blog entries using the iphone. My problem is that when I post entries made from the phone while on the bus I will have no way to send out notifications. The blog I have maintained "shattered manor" since 2005 is hosted by Tripod and they have no mechanism for sending notification.
So I have been considering using a blog from Google (BlogPress) called "by bus or by cuss" in which I could post short entries and pictures from iphone. BlogPress allows me to name 10 people to automatically send notifications when I post an entry to the blog.
I am a huge fan of redundancy so I will post entries to "shattered manor" as well as "by bus or by cuss". I need to know who would like to receive notifications while I am on the buses. Leave a comment or email me if you want to be notified. First 10 will be selected.

 | Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God"? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
6/25: God, help us to acknowledge our weaknesses and to deal with them according to your word. Amen. 6/26: Dear God, help us to accept your offer of strength and love. When pain gets in our way, continue to hold us close until we feel you near. Amen. I had not realized just how blessed we are until I started driving the church van to bring these Santa Maria women and the residents of Turning Point and Independent Living to Terrace United Methodist Church.

But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something:
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something I can do"
But still I am one.

It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.
Thomas Jefferson
Unless your neighbor wants your young child to sacrifice to one of his gods. I am sick to death of people who hold that any set of beliefs is deserving of equal treatment with mine. Any belief system that leads to abuse, death, or degradation of a human being is wrong and should be cast into the ashpit of history. Yep! Intolerant!
