High . . .

Road? . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-cozies-saudi-arabia-s-crown-prince-congress-must-push-ncna858471)

". . . In his speech to Arab leaders in May 2017, he said: “We are not here to tell other people how to live,” a statement consistent with his silence on Saudi Arabia’s draconian male guardianship system, and its detention of human rights activists and other critics of the government. Trump also made no mention of the thousands of civilians killed or wounded in the Saudi-led campaign. . . The U.S. should push MBS further — make clear that he won’t be seen as a reformer unless he abolishes the male guardianship, under which every Saudi woman has a male “guardian” who has the authority to make a wide range of critical decisions on her behalf, and releases all men and women still imprisoned for peaceful activism, including those jailed for pushing for women’s equal treatment. . . Trump’s silence on human rights represents a failure to capitalize on the leverage the U.S. has with Saudi Arabia. . . Trump’s silence on human rights represents a failure to capitalize on the leverage the U.S. has with Saudi Arabia.. . ."

Wildness . . .

Traveling down to the Congo
Flying 'round Amazon way
Natives are playing the bongos
Listen to what they have to say
You know I'm ready for love
And I thank my lucky stars above

She's all dressed up and there's no place to go
But she's a Wild Woman
She's got a secret so nobody knows
That she's a Wild Woman
She won't pretend to be something she's not
And I don't have to need her
'Cause she's something I've got

Swinging from cocoanut branches
Swim with the crocodiles too
But late at night she romances
What is a helpless boy to do
I've seen it a thousand times before
You get hit in the back with the slamming door

She's all dressed up and there's no place to go
But she's a Wild Woman
She's got a secret so nobody knows
That she's a Wild Woman
She won't pretend to be something she's not
And I don't have to need her
'Cause she's something I've got

She's just a lady
And you can count on that
A little shady
But she'll get up to bat
You think she's crazy
But she can smell a rat

I've seen it before let me tell you
Maybe I'll see it again
Maybe I'll learn something from this
About how to lose and how to win
It's not a good thing to lose your cool
And be forced to say something out of school

She's all dressed up and there's no place to go
But she's a Wild Woman
She's got a secret so nobody knows
That she's a Wild Woman
She won't pretend to be something she's not
And I don't have to need her
'Cause she's something I've got

Stream . . .

. . . of consciousness . . .

. . . what good to take a city if within, there's no one left alive . . .

. . . she's a sad little woman; I'm a sad little man . . .

. . . we're a deeply flawed creation. . .

. . . I'm a bundle of undesired talent and ability . . .

. . . if you don't care to find some real and actual facts, you place your bet on the two-horse race and that is simply that . . .

. . . you and me; we're not that much different . . .

. . . and like me, you've never been normal . . .

Runs . . .

She comes out of the night she wrote every book you've read
Fingering her pearl(s) every bead a lover dead
She wears that feathered hat ends up burning on the bed
Her freedom ring's not cheap the beast the till both must be fed

We twins sit on this leather seat this woman this man
One lives the level of her heart the other's gland's in hand
She serves that wicked brew opens minds opens eyes
Holds up the looking glass cracks to cut the shame that binds

What is is what is not is too
This emptiness inside includes
The mystery awaiting moving you
To be released and not removed

And she runs me down in my limousine
And she picks me up in my limousine
And we drive it home give our breath away
Though I'm left alone no way am I the same

The hand extends the fingers eyed they fondle urging every word
You only have what you give up fluxing in the flow
Holding on to what you want will only keep it out of reach
And lock you up inside yourself and block epiphany

Read the beat the rhythm takes and gives
The bodies dance in primal play
Forever steps alive into today
Here each word points but does not say

And she runs me down in my limousine
And she picks me up in my limousine
And we drive it home give our breath away
Though I'm left alone no way am I the same

Gone . . .

. . . are the days when men ruled the world. Over are the times in which men held the upper hand simply because they could beat the crap out of any woman who disagreed. History has taught us that no situation remains long in place that was established through brute force. And like the marginalization of Jews, people of color and homosexual persons we must (to paraphrase John Shelby Spong) cleanse ourselves of our distorted past in order to restore integrity and honor to our society. We must embrace this enlightenment, rejoice in it and celebrate it.

The Stuff . . .

. . . of which movies are made . . .

Is it me, or is it refreshing to hear this news story? No terrorism, no politics, no deaths, no injuries. A hi-jacked plane, freed hostages and . . . a woman . . .

(from http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35915139)
Most of the passengers and crew who were on board a hijacked Egyptian plane that was forced to divert to Larnaca airport in Cyprus have been freed. . .EgyptAir Flight MS181 was taken over after a passenger claimed to be wearing a suicide explosive belt. . .Reports say the lone hijacker wants to talk to his estranged wife in Cyprus, and the Cypriot president has said the hijack is not a terrorist incident. . .Egypt's civil aviation minister said seven people remained on board the jet.

Ah . . .

. . . satire . . .

(from http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/12/1/1455773/-To-Bernie-Sanders-Supporters-From-The-Establishment-DNC)
". . . It has come to our attention that a few of you have been wandering outside of our giant, multicultural, comfortable tent. This comes as a complete surprise to us, because we have done everything imaginable to keep you complacent open our hearts and minds to your concerns and build a corporate funded oligarchy nationwide coalition of status quo responsible Democrats. . . Our success has been bought and paid for, and we’ll change our views faster than a Kama Sutra flipbook in order to keep it that way. . . Senator Obama was right in 2004 when he said there isn’t a Red or Blue America. There’s only a money fucking green America, and we have most of it. At least, on “our” side, we have most of it. . . No one is going to vote for some really, really, really old socialist Jew from a state that doesn’t even have a professional football team. Political revolution by raising awareness and the general collective consciousness of the American people goes over like a fart in church when facing a well-established...erm...establishment. . . While you’re out there working your asses off, we’re still cashing checks and rigging both the media and the terms of the debates. . . And we’re literally banking on Bernie Sanders losing the primary so you’ll become just as jaded as we are. Best Wishes, Hillary Clinton and the DNC . . ."

The Case . . .

. . . for electing Hillary Clinton President of the United States of America. . .

(from http://harpers.org/archive/2014/10/stop-hillary-2/ by Doug Henwood)
". . . boils down to this: She has experience, she’s a woman, and it’s her turn. It’s hard to find any substantive political argument in her favor. She has, in the past, been associated with women’s issues, with children’s issues — but she also encouraged her husband to sign the 1996 bill that put an end to the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (AFDC), which had been in effect since 1935. Indeed, longtime Clinton adviser Dick Morris, who has now morphed into a right-wing pundit, credits Hillary for backing both of Bill’s most important moves to the center: the balanced budget and welfare reform.1 And during her subsequent career as New York’s junior senator and as secretary of state, she has scarcely budged from the centrist sweet spot, and has become increasingly hawkish on foreign policy. . .

The Right . . .

. . . to bear. . .

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/las-vegas-mom-tammy-meyers-went-looking-suspect-road-rage-n307896)
". . . A Las Vegas woman who was killed in an apparent road rage shooting . . .[recently] drove around with her armed son looking for the suspect who would later shoot her in front of her home, police said Tuesday. Tammy Meyers, 44, was shot by someone in a gray or silver four-door sedan outside her home around 11:22 p.m. Thursday, and died two days later. The suspect or suspects remain unidentified, police said. Police said Meyers and her armed 22-year-old son followed a car she believed had been involved in a road rage incident earlier that night, that they stopped following the vehicle and returned home, and when they got there a car matching the description of the one they'd followed pulled up and someone inside it began shooting. Meyers' son returned fire, police said.
"I did what I had to do to protect my family. Everyone can think what they have to think; I did it for a reason. And I'd do it for anyone I love," Meyers' son, Brandon, said at a vigil Tuesday. . .Meyers' husband, Robert Meyers, told mourners at the vigil that his late wife was a beautiful woman who loved her kids, but also that "she hated bullies.". . ."

With all due respect for the dead, I feel:
1. grateful that this young man does NOT love me
2. this beautiful, loving woman rivaled Mel Gibson in her overwhelming desire for vengeance (searching for the original 'road rage' guy? COME ON!!)
3. she hated bullies badly enough to find them long after the incident occurred
4. this story could have ended with the original 'road rage' person dead if the beautiful, loving woman and her armed son had found him first

I could be wrong . . .
