Patagonia AZ Fourth of July 2009

Or a small town USA July 4th.  After some random beginning of 30 seconds or so, at about a minute the fireworks display happens.  I’ll try to improve this video later, but for now at least there is something on the WEB from Patagonia AZ.  So there.

Palin: Master of The Art of Talking To Oneself in a Vacuum

Note to Sarah Palin;  Most of US are so over You.  That liberal media just doesn’t get it.

(Oops!  I just fell prey to my own criticism!)

I heard a friend playing Palins speech, and it just drove me backwards into my Homo Erectus roots; the myopic mindset necessary to see that blur of reasoning as being the way things actually are.  The dialectic of coherent objective reason has come a long way, but some refuse to evolve.  And sorry to say, I am one at times. I’m still waiting for shoes to be invented.

But for Palin, her circular logic tumbleweed seems to have become a staple on the arrogant but not ripe from waiting right wing.  Around and around; whine, blame, whine, blame, point, then platitudes and public pandering.  The persecution complex is on.   The answer?  Faith in my words.  No! Not yours! Mine! Well, that’s what you say.

I could almost hear the same words of Palin’s gone from governorship explanation speech recently, coming from Rush Limbaugh, the same convoluted and conjoined contraptions; where imagination and conjecture meet as truth revealed in ideological Nirvana; the twitching rationalizations, the tortured logic, the altered meaning of words to feign legitimate context, the allegations toward invisible others (for some a Pelosi usually works as iconic stand in for Satan) who seem to be all aligned against we good folks being used.  And likely sentences as long as this DNA chain.

I am astonished to hear these very ideas about rampant government (Now!) that could have been applied equally to the last administration which was rampant in expansion and abandoned responsibility.  Nothing like darts one is actually allowed to throw.  Now there is independence!

Note to citizens; A nation is a public endeavor, requiring defense, maintenance and care for the common good.  There is no automatic pilot!  It is our collective house; you do not ignore plumbing issues, fire issues, roof leaking issues, hungry children, and especially the issues of your very foundation—The People and the Social Contract Imperative.

And a BIG NO.  Capitalism is not God, not the answer to all things big and small, the economy is not intended to be The Divine Thing in a democracy, or it will surely perish.  The will of all is the context of a union.  Not just the will of the wealthy and well connected, or their propaganda publicist in the (Oh how strange)—Big business news shows and information platforms.

Sorry to Prosperity Christians cajoled by materialism, or by “conservative Christianity sects” into being, ah, anti Christian.  But God wants you to be well off, to be rolling in abundance!  Damn those environmentalist Luddite Naysayers, with their fake science and lack of faith in what we believe!  Your problems in income come from them!  Get them!  The poor and the sick are being punished by God!  Hands off!

.

One thing seems quite clear; if the every gripe fix by ideology promise train running full force on the right rail was contingent upon dominating something other than the professed mysterious alien menace of liberalism (now called socialism/fascism on the right’s emotional precipice), one would be shocked.  Conservatives talking of their own accountability’s and responsibilities to democracies Whole?; Reflecting on their own lack of omniscience and abundant guile?  Now that would be real news.

Don’t wait on its delivery through whomsoever’s media anytime soon. We can count on the right’s reactionaries for this; we’d be right back in the hole they started digging for us, only more waste would be pouring into it.  The suction vacuum is created by democracies facile citizenry.

Ah.  Nothen’ like a good speech to rev us up into someones column.  Hello Obama?  Paid any attention to the non wealthy and already well provided for lately, other than symbolic, ‘I’m on you side.  No Really!’ ?  A nation that worships from its top down is nothing more than a glorified American Idol Oligarchy, where the rich and well connected to authority herd us along like the faithful sheep we seem to be.

‘What happened to this country?’ Us.  We happened to this country.

I heard some Christian leaders are praying for Governor Sanford to ‘Stop Talking’.  How about a word for Governor Palin?  Let us all pray if we wish for our country; that we value more than good words.  I’d suggest praying that our politicians and propagandist did not persecute their personal demons out upon the citizens Commons.

I’m shutting up now.  I’ll leave with a photo I took from a room at home today, well, yesterday now, storms would not let me post.

…it seems for a while at least, that horses are free…Wait.  That is a nice idea out here on the open range, but horses mostly travel together and look out for one another.  Part of freedom?  Why not?  And who exactly is the one behind bars here?

Around The House Today: Horses and Rain

Horses hitchhiking on the highway.

-Later at the house.

The sky before the rain. Approx another inch today. This amount of rain at the beginning of the monsoon is unusual, and will likely result in summer wildflowers to appear here at another date.  Plus it will look like Ireland shortly.

-Frogs and toads are out tonight.  Soon there will be turtles in our front wash.  Desert surprises.

Two post in one day.  Take that National Blog Posting Month.

I once came across a blog that was only 3 weeks old but had hundreds of post, 20 something on some days.  She’s probably on Twitter now.

And this is where we learn how to talk to ourselves.

Hey.

Speak for yourself dude.

National Blog Posting Month Rules and Regualtions?

Oh yeah.  NaBloPoMo09

First, as in this post, whether you like it, want to or not, just post onto the great and powerful WEB once a day as in a daily vitamin.

Nothing to say?  When did that stop me?  No one reading your post?  Who cares?  This is all about you; getting you into the posting habit.  Wait!  It’s 11:45 at night and I haven’t blogged yet! I’ve got to go post something right now or life as I know it will…?  Well who knows.  I’m not going to find out. Before you know it your blog will look like a calendar of your life, where you can see what you were doing with 20/10 hindsight, as long as you have computer and Internet access.  This enables you to go into the past and discover who you actually are!

You can data mine your own life; Hum? That’s what I was thinking at 5pm 3 weeks ago.  Who knew? This raises the possibility of us remembering all we forgot, even the stuff we wish to keep behind us.  Now anyone can search our past at the push of a button.

.

The overall object of National Blog Posting month is not for “Big Brother” to get a good idea  of what you and I are all about.  No. Don’t be silly.  It is about Space Aliens getting to know what you and I are all about, of course.  That goes without saying, but in National Blog Posting Month, or NaBloPoMo09, you can say it every day!

NaBloPoMo09 is all about making blogging more like Twitter

Who needs Twitter, whatever that is, when your very own blog is full of multiple Tweets, a nest of abandoned thoughts that follow me like something form the past that refuses to die.  And that’s the real point.

One day this blog will just stop, unless WordPress ends up with a program for data mining past post and coming up with new ones that seem like me.  Scary, but probably not hard to do.

Now I’m beginning to wonder about this post.  It seems like me but something is a little off.

Ah! That confirms it!

It’s me. It s not you, its me.

Algorithm Benafia out.  Next days post automatically generated.

My Wisteria Trellis and Todays Fleating Butterfly Moment

My Wisteria Trellis

There is five eighths rebar hiding behind the red wood look alike material.  The wisteria took off once it was given this trellis.  It grows about 6 inches a day.

Kinship With All Life; Home Photo

No Really.

Here’s the hidden story behind the photo;

I noticed our cat Jimmy lay his head on my leg to sleep tonight.  The book partly visible in the photo happens to be one a friend is wanting me to read called; Kinship With All Life by J Allen Boone.  Jimmy is now on the couch’s armrest as I type, with the Jon Stewart Show on.  Oh. And the bandage on one of my toes was once put on the nail above it since it is dislodged except on one side.  My feet got wet in the rain and there I have it.  Who Knew?

Today’s first storm passes and about 5 more storm cells came by after.  It’s still raining here in the desert.

From Wikipedia’s first paragraph on this subject:
Mission San Xavier del Bac is a historic Spanish Catholic mission located about 10 miles (16 km) south of downtown Tucson, Arizona, on the Tohono O’odham San Xavier Indian Reservation. Named for a pioneering Christian missionary and co-founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order), the Mission is also known as the “place where the water appears” as the Santa Cruz River (which runs underground) surfaces nearby^{[citation needed]}. The Mission is situated in the center of a centuries-old Indian settlement of the Tohono O’odham (formerly known as Papago), located along the banks of the Santa Cruz River.
