How bout Obama's Latest Mr Scharber...........
Is this for real? "I won". What a smug, arrogant, little shit Obama is. (In addition to being a whacked out lefty, commie/Socialist)
Don't be partisan. Do it MY way and don't listen to Rush or anyone else that may have an opposing view point!! WHAT?
I am not believing this!! Oh, yeah. That's a great way to work together and build trust with other elected leaders during the first week.
Who is this bozo? We are so screwed!!

The Global Musings of an Educated Man.....vol.104
Greetings everyone. I just got done using my commode with legs, priced at $37,000. Just kidding. I'm not John Thain and I haven't been handing out bonuses to my employees because I have no bonuses to give out and I have no employees...but I'm fed up with the Wall Street CEOs and their business as usual lifestyle of smug smiles and nice suits. I would like to see congressional hearings about what went wrong on Wall Street and have them drag up kicking and screaming those slimy slick scheisters in front of Congress and the American Public and explain to us, the American people, why they think they don't have to tell us what they're doing with our money. We've given them half of the TARP funds, at $350 billion dollars, that's $1100 for every American. We should know where our money is going and how it's being used to fixed the mess were in when were literally owners to companies we have no say in. All I hear is change is on the way, and that eventually the money will get back into the market through loans they are not wanting to hand out, but it seems to me that these banks are only using it as a last hurrah to give themselves and their fellow higher-up employees lavish bonuses and team building retreats to luxury spas while we the American public get bent over for another over the barrel, out back whipping. We are going to have a Treasury Secretary who can't even pay his taxes while he was working for the IMF. What the???!! But we yawn and watch American Idol. Is there anyway we can get justice other than watching Law & Order? What do we have to do to have these horrible excuses for human beings get their just desserts instead of desserts, while we get stale bread and salmonella from bad peanut butter? Is there anyone out there who can be the Robert F. Kennedy taking on the Mob? Bernie Madoff is on house arrest for swindling $50 billion from his maybe not so bright investors, but isn't it a crime more serious than selling dope? Is there anyone out there who has the guts to stand up and ask the hard questions to get the results, or are we all too scared to know the truth of the extent to their diabolical plans? Oh no, that would hurt the economy. We can't do that. What the???!! If you have been living under a rock, the economy is already hurting from a financial crisis created by financial firms that create nothing but simply move money from one place to the next and continue to do business as usual and go on with their mergers and acquisitions in order to better position themselves once the long neglected phrase of recession is over. Please, oh please Mr. President, grow the necessary (insert male genitalia here) to do what is right and what is necessary and hold these people's feet to the fire that is burning out of control before we are left with even less than what we've got left and do the right thing, please. Put childish things aside and grow up and grow a pair. What good is closing down a Guantanamo when the American people are living in a prison of debt and unemployment themselves. Please Mr. President, become the change you've talked so much about. Be more than a good idea. Be a man of action. That is my call to action for you. Now I'm off to one of my 11 Inaugural balls I have to attend. Gotta run.
Until next time, open arms and open minds.

The Global Musings of an Educated Man.....vol.103
At last. Beyonce's cover may have nailed it. The man has alot on his shoulders and I hope to God that he is up to the challenge and we as a country do not squander this opportunity to help to continue to change things for the better, but never forget to hold his and our feet to the fire. I hope to God that we can. I hope to God we can, with open arms and open minds. But why did they have to spend $170 million on his inaugrual ball?? Aren't we in the middle of an economic crisis??

The Global Musings of an Educated Man......vol.102
The Arizona Cardinals are in the Superbowl???!!! Canadian Geese take down a commercial airliner on Thursday in New York City, plunging it into the Hudson River, and all of it caught on tape. The landing I mean. What is going on with the birds these days? Is it the year of the Bird? The crashing of a plane, onto a very frigid river into a heavily populated area in January 2009 and footage of that plane crashing into the river and yet, still, there is no visible and discernible proof released from our government of a plane hitting the Pentagon on 9/11???!!!. I'm still scratching my head over that one. It's not going to go away anytime soon. There is still something very rotten in the state of Denmark. Like MLK, I have a dream. That one day we'll know the truth of what happened. I know that I'm naive and possibly crazy for believing that, but I have to hang on to hope. It's all we seem to have these days. And finally, I'm very suspicious of the fan fare that has been given to Obama's inauguration. I know that it's historic and that it's a sign of how far we've come as country and I'm proud of that, but I cannot remember there ever being so much media coverage and media dry humping over one man. I hope that he does have some answers to our country's ills, but putting all of our faith into one man is what happened to Germany. It's very eerie to me, to see a special on HBO with a concert for the man, and Bruce Springsteen is there, and Beyonce and Stevie Wonder and Garth Brooks, and he hasn't even done anything yet? Am I being racist for simply being cautious? I voted for the man, but then again he was the lesser of two evils and Ron Paul never had a chance, and Wellstone was murdered. Never before in the history of politics has a man risen so far so fast, and he's already got two autobiographies. Two. If ever there was a candidate for the anti-christ, he would have to be on the short list. Look at all of the power and control that we've got centralized into the office of the President in just the past 8 years. He's had a pretty good set up reliever for him in George W. Bush and his administration, now all he has to do is close the thing out. I hope to God he doesn't. But it does seem quite surreal what's happening nowadays and the falling over each other the major media outlets have done to get close to the man. So, I am keeping my eyes on the road ahead and both hands on the wheel. Until next time, open arms and open minds.

I'm going to catch hell for this one.......
The Global Musings of an Educated Man.....vol.101
It is only fitting that the first of the new century of Global Musings be on the night of his farewell address. I feel empathy for him as I do President Nixon. It has to be the most challenging job in the world, but one that he wanted and maybe stole in 2000?? But I digress. In his eight years as president, we've seen 9/11, the invasion and hopefully liberation and birth of democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq. We've witnessed Guantanamo Bay and Abu Graib. We've been through Katrina and now the economic crisis, and we've left no child behind in the process. They just have to run to catch up. He inherited a recession and he's leaving a recession. What must be going through his mind these days? "Please, please, may history show me to be correct." We've gone 7 years without a terrorist attack in the U.S., and to me that is not surprising. I know I am going to ruffle some feathers here I am sure, but that is one of the greatest ideals of this country, the freedom of speech. But wasn't it amazing to see how well he responded to 9/11 and then how horribly he did to Hurricane Katrina? Could it be that he saw one coming and the other he didn't? I will say that for me, it doesn't seem far fetched for the powers that be, the men and women behind the politicians, pushing a global government, to use him as the puppet they needed to have at the time and the place. The United States ended World War II by dropping two nuclear bombs on Japan and killing 200,000 people. Would 3,000 casualties on 9/11 be such a horrible consequence to start a war that will never end in order for them to continue their quest for a one world government? Because in order to have a one world government, you must have an enemy to rally against. The war on terror. It has no defined boundaries, only ideology, and any country can be invaded in pursuit of it. Nation states are slowly going the way of the dodo, and we will only have markets. But maybe it's all for the good? Maybe we only have till December 21st 2012 anyway? I don't know, I just like thinking is all.
"Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear." General Douglas MacArthur
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home." James Madison
In Gaza right now, 1000 Palestinians are dead, 1/3 of them children. Israel has lost 13 people. 1000 to 13. Seems fair doesn't it? I'm not taking sides but if I were a Palestinian living in Gaza, HAMAS would have another soldier, and if I were living in Israel and being threatened by rockets fired from Gaza, I would want justice too. But, can Israel go about it another way please? Do they really think that by taking out HAMAS, that anti-Israel emotions will subside? Do they not realize that by cutting off the head of HAMAS, another will simply grow in its place. Or is this current military action in Gaza necessary to ratchet up the war machines of the world once again? Are we going to be asked in the coming months to start taking sides?
"I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be." Thomas Jefferson
"It is our true policy to steer clear of entangling alliances with any portion of the foreign world." George Washington
4 more days to go, but the cynic in me thinks that Barack will be little different. They will say and do anything to get elected, and he's already got the media wrapped around his little finger. I hope I'm wrong. I really do. And it is just that he be sworn in the day after MLK day. Funny how these things work out. So, until next time, open arms and open minds.

"I've just reached a place where the willow don't bend." Dylan
The Global Musings of an Educated Man.....vol.100
It just hit me as I was typing this in like the blast of arctic air that is outside the front door. 100. I have reached the century mark. What began out of an act of encouragement from a true friend, you know who you are Mr. Thompson, has become so much more to me. It has helped me cope with the ups and the downs and the ins and the outs of mine and this crazy yet beautiful world's existence. I couldn't have imagined it a couple of years back that I would release 100 of my rants, musings, or suggestions, but then again, if you ever have met me with a couple of Stella Artois's down the hatch or tokes in the lungs, you would only expect it, I guess. I feel like Barry Bonds without the steroids, which makes me I guess feel nothing like Barry Bonds. Oh well. I digress yet again. But, enough about me.
How about Slumdog Millionaire? Yes it's a great movie, about over coming odds and obstacles and class struggles. But yet, it seems to me, only righteous and subtly ironic that the movie that captured the Best Picture award at the Golden Globes this year was Slumdog Millionaire. Could it be the zeitgeist of our times coming through our collective unconscious? A year of Global Economic Crisis and America teetering on the edge of a depression, it's fitting that the movie about a slumkid from Mumbai, who becomes India's biggest winner on their version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" by relying on his own life experience, where it is all written, would capture such a wide audience. Could it be that we are all, or we may be becoming Slumdogs' ourselves if we don't fix the problems of our crumbling economy and look to the solutions of the future. And yes, we all want to be Millionaires. Don't we?
"So how can we encourage economic growth in a world in which natural resources are limited, not growing? One of the most innovative ways to think about this challenge is the "cradle to cradle" concept the architect William McDonough and the chemist Michael Braungart describe in their book Cradle to Cradle:Remaking the Way We Make Things. They argue that our current approach to recycling is that we take bigger and higher quality computers, electronics, boxes, and cars and turn them into lower quality, less sophisticated products-and then we throw them away. It is not really recycling, they say, but "downcycling"--just slow motion waste and resource depletion. In Cradle to Cradle, they argue that we can and must make every TV set, chair, carpet, piece of furniture, and computer screen out of materials that can be either completely reusable in other products or completely biodegradable, so that they can be used as fertilizer. All product components, they insist, can be designed for continuous recovery and reutilization as biological or technical nutrients--"eliminating the concept of waste."
"Cradle to cradle means, in counter distinction to cradle to grave, that we close all the cycles, so we don't just send things to landfills and incinerators, we put them into closed cycles so that we can use them over and over again....Like this chair that you're sitting on is aluminum and fabric. The fabric goes back to soil. The aluminum goes back to industry, so nothing is ever wasted. We eliminate the concept of waste--everything is in a closed cycle....We look at all these materials, (and) instead of worrying about where they're going to end up in a landfill or incinerator, we design them to be completely safe, so they go back to nature or back to industry forever. And importantly, this creates massive new opportunity for job creation---in our own country, because in the future, as labor costs begin to level out, logistics will be the most expensive thing and the local will become not only the most cost-beneficial but the necessary. So imagine, today there are 4.5 billion pounds of carpet that get thrown away every year in America. Instead of throwing it away to a landfill, shipping it to China, or incinerating it, what if it all could become carpet again because you designed a cradle-to-cradle product. Not only would you be able to change your carpet as often as you wanted without guilt, but you would be producing massive amounts of jobs in America."
"One day, McDonough suggested, all appliances could be leased-refrigerators, microwaves, television sets, even all cars-and returned to their manufacturers to be completely recycled, over and over and over: not cradle to grave, but cradle to cradle. Some variation of this approach is the only viable solution for economic growth in a flat world." Thomas Friedman Hot, Flat, and Crowded (2008)
Until next time, open arms and open minds.

And importantly, this creates massive new opportunity for job creation---in our own country, because in the future, as labor costs begin to level out, logistics will be the most expensive thing and the local will become not only the most cost-beneficial but the necessary. So imagine, today there are 4.5 billion pounds of carpet that get thrown away every year in America. Instead of throwing it away to a landfill, shipping it to China, or incinerating it, what if it all could become carpet again because you designed a cradle-to-cradle product. Not only would you be able to change your carpet as often as you wanted without guilt, but you would be producing massive amounts of jobs in America."
"One day, McDonough suggested, all appliances could be leased-refrigerators, microwaves, television sets, even all cars-and returned to their manufacturers to be completely recycled, over and over and over: not cradle to grave, but cradle to cradle. Some variation of this approach is the only viable solution for economic growth in a flat world." Thomas Friedman Hot, Flat, and Crowded (2008)
Until next time, open arms and open minds.

"Because something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mister Jones?" Dylan
The Global Musings of an Educated Man.....vol.99
Thank you Mr. Mahan for enlightening me to the idea that my outrage is probably overdue, due to the fact that we will no longer have W. to kick around and maybe Norm Coleman too. Plus outrage was getting a little tired. Loud shouting will get nothing done, only irritate those who disagree. So, from now on, the outrage has turned to musings.
Today I would like to give an excerpt from a speech Ron Paul gave to the House of Representatives back on September 19th, 1984. My regret is not having found out sooner, despite the "media filter" about knowing more about this brave, wise and honourable man and what he stands for. How the major parties and the major media have pushed him to the side as a crack-pot is nothing short of sad, but not suprising. History has shown that prophets are on the fringe.
"Some have said my approach is not practical, but most concede, "At least he's consistent." Since I first came here in 1976, the number of lobbyists has doubled and the national debt has tripled-$550 billion to $1.59 trillion-to me a most impractical trend. Business cycles, unemployment, inflation, high interest rates, and trade wars are the real impracticalities brought about by the unwise political and economic policies. I've been impressed ove the years by those who concede to me the consistency of my views, yet evidently reject them in favor of inconsistent views. Who, I might ask, is served by the politicians of inconsistency-the special interests or the general welfare?
"The petty partisan squabbles that are today more numerous and more heated serve no useful function. The rhetoric now becoming personal is not designed to solve problems, nor does it show a correct perception of our country's problems. All are motivated by good intentions, but that cannot suffice. The narrow partisan squabbles are a natural consequence of an intellectual bankruptcy, whereby correct solutions are not offered for our economic problems. The "good intentions" prompts those involved to "do something". It seems that narrow partisanship on the House floor contributes nothing to the solutions of today's problems.
"We have strict drug laws written by those who generously use the drug alcohol. Our laws drive up the price of drugs a thousandfold, to the delight of the dealers, the pushers, and terrorist nations around the world who all reap huge illegal profits. Crimes are committed to finance the outrageous prices, and drug usage never goes down. Enforcement costs soar, and it's success remains "mysteriously" elusive. The whole system creates an underground crime world worth billions of dollars; and addicts must then entice others to join, getting new customers to finance their habits-forever compounding a social problem epidemic in proportion. Any new suggestions for changing our drug laws-that is liberalizing them-is seen as political suicide by the hypocritical politicians and a society legally hooked on alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, aspirin and valium.
"I have trouble believing that the foreign policy of the past 70 years has served the best interests of the United States. The policy of international intervention has been followed during this time, regardless of the party in power. The traditional American policy of strategic independence and neutrality based on strength has been replaced by an international policy of sacrifices, policy that has give us nearly a century of war. The last two wars were fought without formal declaration and without the goal of victory in mind. There are many specific examples to show how irrational this interventionist policy is.
"We condemn the use of poison gas by Iraq at the same time we aid Iraq, along with the Soviets, in preventing an Iranian victory, forgetting that Iraq started the war. Inconsistently, the administration pressures Congress to manufacture new nerve gas so we have something with which to go to the Soviets and draw up some unworkable treaty regarding war gases. We allocate low-interest loans through the Export-Import Bank to build a pipeline for Iraq, giving huge profits to Shultz' Bechtel Corp., while hurting our domestic oil producers.
"There are 42 wars now going on in the world, and it's reported we're involved in many of them--on both sides. We have troops in a total of 121 countries. National security is used as justification for all this activity, but rarely is it directly involved.
"Campaigns are won on promising tax cuts; some are given but are quickly canceled out by numerous tax increases associated with accelerated federal spending.
"Archconservatives champion tobacco subsidies, which are criticized by archconservatives who champion milk subsidies. Government then spends millions of dollars to regulate the tobacco industry and points out the hazards of smoking.
"We pay for bridges and harbors throughout the world and neglect our own. If we feel compulsion to spend and waste money, it would make more sense at least to waste it at home. We build highways around the world, raise gasoline taxes here, and routinely dodge potholes on our own highways.
"Why do we cut funding for day care centers and Head Start programs before cutting aid to the Communists, Socialists, and international bankers?"
These comments are excerpts from the speech. There will be more to come, and hopefully more from Ron Paul in the future. If the world doesn't end on 2012, and if Obama hasn't pulled off his mask hiding his Socialist tendencies, then I say we need to start a grass roots campaign right now, just in case, to get Ron Paul in the White House, or at least to continue spreading his message. Paul Wellstone must have love the guy. Until next time, open arms and open minds.

"This is not my house, this is not my beautiful wife...." Talking Heads
Dire signs and ominous sounds come muttering to us through horrific job reports, local corporate buyouts(Best Buy), and endless wars, frustration and humanitarian crises in the Gaza strip (Israel once funded HAMAS to fight the Arafat led PLO, sounds familiar like the US funding IRAQ to fight IRAN) where the meek are not inheriting the earth, only bloodshed and the loss of whole families. The Happy Holiday shopping and relative greeting season has given way to grim forecasts, limited possibilities and mounting national debt. But, there may be a silver lining in all of this. Hear me out people. Maybe the Global Financial Crisis was necessary as a means for a world shift in consciousness, from the material to focusing on the immaterial, from the self to the whole. History has shown that revolutions only occur when the people find themselves so downtrodden that they will take it no more, and only then will they demand action and results. These may just be the birth pangs of a new global awakening. The poles are shifting. The playing field is being leveled and maybe, just maybe, our aspirations for what is necessary, for what is truly important like good will towards others, no matter their religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or social standing will rise above the unimportant complacency of what is not needed, only desired because of it's the relative ease of past tradition.
On December 21st, 2012 an occurrence that only occurs once every 25,800 years will take place. The Earth will be in exact alignment with the Sun and the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which scientist's have found has a black hole in the center. What does it all mean? Where are we headed? Am I just crazy, or did I forget to take my meds? I will say this, if it comes and goes and nothing happens, I will be the first to admit that I was wrong and I apologize, or maybe you'll just want a place on the Ark that I'm going to have to build. Ha. Like the Beach Boys sang,"God only knows".

It's never too late to change for the better....
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man......vol.97
Wisdom never goes out of style. We need radical measures.
"Just go through this mental exercise: What kind of America would you like to see--an America that is addicted to oil and thereby fueling the worst autocracies in the world, or a green America that is building scalable alternatives to crude oil and thereby freeing ourselves from the grip of countries who have drawn a bull's-eye on our back and whose values we oppose?
"What kind of America would you like to see--an America that is steadily outsourcing more and more blue-collar, labor intensive manufacturing jobs to China, or a green America that is building more and more knowledge-intensive green-collar technology jobs--for making green buildings, vehicles, and power sources-which are more difficult to outsource and will have to be the industry of the future, as fossil-fuel energy supplies dwindle and world population grows?
"What kind of America would you like to see-an America with more urban sprawl devouring more and more open lands, or a green America where cities start to grow up rather than outward, where mass transit becomes the norm rather than mass traffic jams, and where the only new buildings are green buildings?
"What kind of America would you like to see-an American where government relaxes energy and efficiency standards on cars, buildings, and appliances, prompting our industries to get innovation-lazy, or a green America where the U.S. government imposes steadily higher efficiency standards, forcing a constant flow of new thinking around materials, power systems, and energy software, making us the most energy productive country in the world?
"What kind of America would you like to see--an America where there is no big national goal, or a green America, where inventing a source of abundant, clean, reliable, cheap electrons, which could enable the whole planet to grow in a way that doesn't destroy its remaining natural habitats, becomes the goal of this generation--inspiring young people to go into math, science, biology, physic, and nanotechnology?
"What kind of America would you like to see--an America that is spotlighted as the last holdout at international environmental conferences, earning the world's contempt, or a green America that is seen as the country most committed-by example-to preserving our environment and the species that inhabit it, earning the world's respect?
"There is a Chinese proverb that says, "When the wind changes direction, there are those that build walls and those that build windmills." What will we do? Build more American walls around our embassies, walls around the headquarters of our companies, tariffs around our products, trade barriers to wall off our economy, legal walls to protect our automakers, electronic walls to protect our borders, military walls to isolate us from our allies and further motivate our enemies, and visa walls to prevent visitors from entering our country, living the American dream, melting in with our people, and enriching our culture? Or will we build windmills that we will use ourselves and export to others in every shape, color, flavor, and style?
"Yes, the wind has changed direction. The era we are heading into will be an era in which our lives, our ecosystems, our economies, and our political choices will be constrained if we do not find a cleaner way to power our future and a better way to protect our natural world. So I say we build windmills. I say we lead." Thomas Friedman Hot, Flat, and Crowded (2008)

"My love, she speaks like silence, without ideals or violence" Dylan
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man......vol.95
Because of the new year beginning I would like to begin again with some warmth and beauty that is hard to find in the cold cruel winter. I will provide an original work of my own and I also will include some of our current Poet Laureate of the United States, Kay Ryan, and her poetry as well. So, let me begin with a work of mine dating back from October 16th, 2006.
There Should be Sparks
The lightning
that struck me once before
has seemingly left the storm,
and all that I saw
when I approached her
was the consolation
of a wet blanket
that once was warm;
to put out the fire
of my discontent.'
Jack Scharber
Now some works by Kay Ryan. Enjoy.
The Elephant in the Room
It isn't so much
a complete elephant
as an elephant
sense--perhaps
pillar legs supporting
a looming mass,
beyond which it's
mostly a guess.
In any case, we
manage with relative
ease. There are just
places in the room
that we bounce off
when we come up
against; not something
we feel we have to
announce.
Things shouldn't be so hard
A life should leave
deep tracks:
ruts where she
went out and back
to get the mail
or move the hose
around the yard;
where she used to
stand before the sink,
a worn-out place;
beneath her hand
the china knobs
rubbed down to
white pastilles;
the switch she
used to feel for
in the dark
almost erased.
Her things should
keep her marks.
The passage
of a life should show;
it should abrade.
And when life stops,
a certain space-
however small-
should be left scarred
by the grand and
damaging parade.
Things shouldn't
be so hard.
"can you not see that one being read at a woman's funeral," observance by Kristal Miller.
Lighthouse Keeping
Seas pleat
winds keen
fogs deepen
ships lean no
doubt, and
the lighthouse
keeper keeps
a light for
those left out.
It is intimate
and remote both
for the keeper
and those afloat.
Until next time, open arms and open minds.

To Begin again........
The Global Outrage of an Educated Man......vol.94
2009 is here and as year's go, it shouldn't be any worse than 2008. 2+9 equals 11, and 11 means new beginnings. 9/11 equals, 9+1+1=11, that's why it happened when it did. They planned it that way. The twin towers, two big erect 1's, fall down, the end of an era and the beginning of another. Call me crazy, I can live with it.
"The great philosophic institutions of the past must rise again, for these alone can rend the veil which divides the world of causes from that of effects. Only the Mysteries-those sacred Colleges of Wisdom-can reveal to struggling humanity that greater and more glorious universe which is the true home of the spiritual being called man. Modern philosophy has failed in that it has come to regard thinking as simply an intellectual process. Materialistic thought is as hopeless a code of life as commercialism itself. The power to think true is the savior of humanity. The mythological and historical Redeemers of every age were all personifications of that power. He who has a little more rationality than his neighbor is a little better than his neighbor. He who functions on a higher plane of rationality than the rest of the world is termed the greatest thinker. He who functions on a lower plane is regarded as a barbarian. Thus comparative rational development is the true gauge of the individual's evolutionary status."
The Secret Teachings of ALL AGES Manly P. Hall (1928)
And I'm telling you, there is something fishy about the government's need to push everyone into digital television. They are giving us money to go and buy converter boxes. They want us to go out and buy more stuff that we don't need. They don't even do this type of thing to encourage people to get registered to vote. I'm just saying. Call me crazy, I can live with it.
Until next time, open arms and open minds.
