jyi # 717i US & Law : Today's reality is wrong
All we have is stagnation, decline and death.
Below is a story that rings most of the bells today, the bells that signal the possible extinction of Americans and the rest of the human race in the very near fututre. But first I note some newsbits that tend to substantiate what I say here and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com .

POLITICS
Today I got a notice from The Federalist Society, NYC Lawyer's Division about a lecture. As I haven't gotten anything from them for quite a while, perhaps they have decided that I'm not such a terribly bad guy despite the fact that I am the one who was thrown in prison in the summer of 2008 for continuing to attack feminist, homosexual...and other nonsense and garbage, the one who was suspended from practicing as a lawyer 20 years ago for protesting the same, the one who embarrassed a federal judge (a classmate of mine at Law School) and -for that reason- was put on an FBI-Federal Court watch list (they read my blog every day, this one the next day the courts are open). You see, I am farther to the "right" than any Republican or right-winger - even though I think all those on the far-right are brain-dead and stuck in a past that never was. But I am also farther to the "left" than any left-winger - even though I despise the left.
As part of my deal to get out of prison, I had to agree to see a psychiatrist - and I see him every 6-8 weeks. Of course, being a Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI) survivor and an Irishman, there is nothing he can "do" for me (TBI survivors are unique and very often "spook" psychiatrists... ; and Freud declared that the Irish are "unanalisible"). Anyhow, "my" psychiatrist said that what I write...is much like Glenn Beck and co. and that I should do the same. But I told him that all these guys simplify things too much (just like I told one of my sons). Moreover, all these guys do is talk (Rush Limbaugh...) - I want to do and act, as well. On the way out, I told "my" shrink that I have been "shaped and formed all my life to do what I do". He tried to deny that...but its the truth.
The lecture noted above is to be about "International and national security...crisis and command". But that is exactly what my blog is about.
ECONOMIC
New York Times(NYT), p.B1 The worst is not over for Europe as many member states are in danger of defaulting on their national debt.
NYT, p.A1 NYS is out of money.
NYT, p.A26 "Failed State" - that is NYS. The NYS Legislature is filled with incompetent, venal, shameless and "corrupt and clueless" politicians who are utter failures. Their "work" consists of "protecting political buddies and donors (from cuts NYS desparately needs to make)...relentless greed and influence-peddling...(Democrats and Republicans both perform in) ...the sleazy way Albany operates ...(and ALL Albany politicians are) rotten (to the) core".
MOTIVATION
NYT, p.A26 "Now Yemen" -in addition to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Africa, Somalia... ; and we cant afford it. And its only getting worse every day. In Yemen (as in all Arab...countries), the unemployment rate is 40% and the population will double in the next 10 years. Moreover, it will soon run out of oil (its only income source) and water. AND its prison system breeds jihadists (boot-fooking tends to do so)... All of this results in major world problems TODAY. Given all these problems, there is "no hope of deflecting Al Qaeda" the way we are going. Especially when the main problem -WORLDWIDE- is overpopulation and a declining -dying- planet Earth.
NYT, p.A12 "Jetliner Plot" on Christmas Day "demonstrates the growing ability of Al Qaeda...(The) groups' effectiveness often hinges upon the personalities of their leaders", all of whom are sadly ignorant of the real causes of All their problems - of course, the leaders of America, the West...are also in denial of the same.
NYT, p.A23 NYS gas drilling will likely poison the water we drink and horribly further pollute the air we breath. We need to stop using coal, oil, gas...
NYT, p.A28 "Surge in Suicides" among South Koreans whose honor is tied to success in this world, in school, business, the professions...unlike the Arab...terrorists who reject this world and this-world success.
NYT, p.E7 "Cure for Optimism". "(H)appiness (or) joy"... can not be purchased or worked for. But contentment can be worked for and found - and "happiness (and) joy" result therefrom.That "positive thinking" will result in happiness and joy is nonsense. Moreover, there is no "right to happiness". The burgeoning academic field of positive psychology is "all about control and (making) money" for the writers and publishers of books... What we really need is "realism...(seeing) the world (as it is and) not colored by our (own personal) wishes or fears."
The story below is just about exactly like the situation today in America - as I have lived
and experienced it.
THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different.... Two Different Versions................. Two Different Morals
OLD VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the antshould be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshoppernext to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with thegrasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
Acorn stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
President Obama condemns the ant and blamesPresident Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper'splight.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to thegrasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be theant's old house, crumbles around them because thegrasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood.
The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.
I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant & not agrasshopper! Make sure that you pass this on to other ants. Don't bother sending it on to anygrasshoppers because they wouldn't understand it, anyway.

jewsyonkersislam # 717h US & Law : homosexuality
jyi # 717h US & Law : homosexuality
Below is a relevant article -as I have edited it. Homosexuality produces a visceral revulsion within me and I've always wondered how-why I could get so sick and yet I could laugh at many things. Many faggots are the nicest -funniest- people, and yet... In addition, homosexuality has been around from the beginnning of the human race. For one thing, I see it as a reversion to animality and beastiality.... even though most beasts dont do it.
It seems to be a denial of the fact that we are human beings, for it tends to destroy the masculine(y) in men(xy), and thereby destroys the complimentariness that is supposed to exist between men and women.
Personally, I think all gay men are really looking for their masculinity and male honor, that the vast majority of gay men might not have to engage in butt-fooking if they found their lost male side. However, feminism has so destroyed masculinity and male honor that such is not easy at all.
But first are a few newsbits that tend to substantiate what I note here and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com .
12-29-09 :
New York Times(NYT), p.A26 "Helping youths who struggle with (sexual) identity" at the Hetrick-Martin Institute for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. But they are so abysmally wrong. The same nonsense is used by Muslim extremists to seduce young men to be suicide terrorist bombers. All these words exist on my (2) contentment / comparison level, the intellectual sphere, all of which tends to ignore the fact that we must survive first (my [1] survival level). Indeed, the intellectual level is limited, just like human consciousness and human languages. But the major problem is the lack of an adequate common goal. The far left (feminism, gay, lez...) and the far right (Muslim...extremists...) are extremes and tend to ignore the reality that the human race must survive for them to indulge in their childish games. It is the feminist nonsense (as pushed by the collective feminine) that men and women are equal -or that women are less than men- that is the major cause of all the world's problems today. Of course, there have always been gays, lesbians..., there are toxicchemicals and other pollutants -endocrine disruptors that affect sexual genes...- in the water we drink, the air we breath... But who tells us what a man or a woman should be, as such ? The problem in the West is that excess feminist civil rights nonsense, selfishness and individualism has destroyed any community. In other areas of the world -especially the Islamic- excess (false) masculinity and (counter-productive) community has led to the destruction of individuality (in both cases leading young men to become faggots or suicide bombers). Both the left (West) and the right (Muslims...) are wrong because both ignore the necessity for adequate common goals in the face of the reality that the human race is approaching near-term extinctiom if we dont ALL work together.

YU holds discussion on homosexuality
By E.B. SOLOMONT, JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT IN NEW YORK
For a candid conversation about homosexuality to take place at a New York City university might be commonplace. Certainly, it would be expected at any one of the liberal campuses around town.(As far as I am concerned, homosexual acts are an abomination, a destruction of what is male[y] in men[xy]. However, it can be almost impossible to say why it is "wrong" from the point of view of a secular civil rights excess infected society like the USA. Perhaps it would be better to also look at it from a communal-survival point of view, and not just from the point of view of procreation.
Rabbi Yosef Blau
But at Yeshiva University, a school considerably more conservative than its neighbors?
Thrust into the thick of a debate over homosexuality and Orthodox Judaism in recent weeks, the school did just that on Tuesday night. Pushed to do so after an anonymous gay student wrote an article in the school paper, organizers sought to address the painful conflict of being gay in the religious world (being gay is not easy in any world ; but does what we have in America today help anyone, does it help the survival of the human race in its collectiveity ?).
At the outset, Rabbi Yosef Blau, spiritual adviser at YU, stressed that the discussion was not meant to be a debate about halacha. His words were echoed by a gay student who addressed a packed audience.
"You don't have to legitimize or accept me," he said, asking instead that fellow students share the struggle of a vexing and confusing issue. "I just can't carry it alone any longer."
Organized by the YU Tolerance Club and Wurzweiler School of Social Work (both feminist excess tendencies ; in truth, there is too little room -physical as well as psychological- for boys and men to come to terms with all it means to be a man), the event attracted hundreds of students, graduates and faculty members. Indeed, dozens were turned away and fire officials were on hand at one point when security guards said the building had reached capacity.
Mordechai Levovitz, a graduate of YU, described the agony of keeping silent for fear of embarrassing his parents.
"I may have been a kid, but I wasn't stupid," he said.
At age 10, he confessed to a camp counselor that he liked boys and was promptly kicked out. Over the next few years, he would be kicked out of yeshiva in Israel and seek help from therapists. He was called "evil" by one of his rabbis.
But nothing is as painful as ignoring the issue, Levovitz said (and it is a larger social issue, one that is aroused as a result of excess the feminist nonsense that is destroying our world -and the human race- today).
"It's not the people who yell 'faggot (in truth, I visceraly detest fagggots AS faggots),'" he said. "It's the silencing (a result of feminist excess)."
Today, he participates in a group called JQ Youth, a 300-member group of gay youth who grew up in the yeshiva world.
"We're not alone," he said. "Nobody has to be alone."
Dr. David Pelcovitz, a professor of education and psychology at YU who took part in the panel, said Tuesday night, "It's incredibly important for all of you here to understand that this was not an easy path for anyone we just heard."
But not everyone felt that way. There were rumors Tuesday night that some fliers for the event were defaced. On Facebook, where the event was publicized, some published critical comments of those who would ignore the religious prohibition of homosexuality (it is "religious" but it could just as easily be secular ; homosexuality is wrong).
Indeed, during a question and answer session, audience members sought to understand how the gay men maintained their level of observance.
"I still daven three times a day," one young man said. "Gay men and women don't have a monopoly on having issues with their frumkeit."
Why enroll at YU, given the challenges? While one alumnus admitted he consciously chose an environment that would prevent him from coming out, another said: "Being gay is not a deciding factor in every decision."
In many ways, the event signaled a change in the way YU has dealt with the issue of homosexuality facing the Orthodox Jewish world, as it finds itself in the middle of a renewed conversation on the topic.
Last year, an anonymous gay student wrote an article in Kol HaMevaser, the university's student magazine on Jewish thought, setting off spirited discussions (but all the discussions are on the contentment/comparison level and none of them deal with the survival -of the human race and in all senses- level).
Last month's anonymous essay in the newspaper, The Commentator, articulated the anguish of one closeted student.
"Our halachic worldview is imbued with true morality (but it ignores morale, personal as well as -and most importantly- social morale and cohesiveness, that which is destroyed when homosexuality becomes normative)… However, one pressing issue facing the modern world, one which has applied uncomfortable pressure to the Orthodox world, has been shamefully swept under rug," the student wrote.
"The thought of telling my family that I am gay (first of all, he is a human being and, while there may be some genetic or biological reasons for the condition [hormone disruptors in the water we drink...], there certainly are societal feminist-based reasons)… is one that douses me with waves of paralyzing fear."
YU itself has a rocky history when it comes to dealing with homosexuality on its campuses. In the 1990s, the university grappled with whether to allow gay and lesbian clubs at its law school. In the past, the school has been accused of denying housing to gay couples at its medical school.
Last year, the founding of a Tolerance Club, which welcomed gay members, was simultaneously praised by some and decried as blasphemous by others.
"There is a huge difference between homosexual nature and homosexual activity," which is a clear-cut violation, Pelcovitz told the Commentator in the paper's prolific response to the anonymous gay student's essay.
While on the one hand urging students to accept any peers who are homosexual (that is also problematical), he said to the paper, "It would be helpful if the roshei yeshiva would address the pain(caused by feminist nonsense) of those experiencing the struggle - that would help alleviate some of the silent pain of those individuals."
Indeed, a recent graduate on Tuesday night told the audience that he was completely closeted while at YU, where he was a leader in the student government.
"Can you blame me? Have you been to YU? Being closeted was survival," he said.
After graduation, he sought guidance from another religious gay man, who was still deeply closeted in his 30s.
"I didn't want to be that man," he recalled, and subsequently told his parents and friends that he is gay.
"My mom went ballistic," he said.
Every day for a month, she asked if he had been molested as a child. "I had the best childhood," he repeatedly told her.
He said some find his homosexuality perplexing: He is an avid Miami Dolphins fan, works in finance and votes Republican.
"How am I gay?" he asked. But he is.
Two years ago, not yet out of the closet, he would not have believed the forum was taking place. He earnestly thanked the audience.
"This means everything," he said.

While on the one hand urging students to accept any peers who are homosexual (that is also problematical), he said to the paper, "It would be helpful if the roshei yeshiva would address the pain(caused by feminist nonsense) of those experiencing the struggle - that would help alleviate some of the silent pain of those individuals."
Indeed, a recent graduate on Tuesday night told the audience that he was completely closeted while at YU, where he was a leader in the student government.
"Can you blame me? Have you been to YU? Being closeted was survival," he said.
After graduation, he sought guidance from another religious gay man, who was still deeply closeted in his 30s.
"I didn't want to be that man," he recalled, and subsequently told his parents and friends that he is gay.
"My mom went ballistic," he said.
Every day for a month, she asked if he had been molested as a child. "I had the best childhood," he repeatedly told her.
He said some find his homosexuality perplexing: He is an avid Miami Dolphins fan, works in finance and votes Republican.
"How am I gay?" he asked. But he is.
Two years ago, not yet out of the closet, he would not have believed the forum was taking place. He earnestly thanked the audience.
"This means everything," he said.

Why Guys Can't Forgive Us for Cheating (But We Can Forgive Them)
*
As we earn more money and work longer hours, new statistics show that more women are cheating on their husbands -- but that doesn't mean that men are as forgiving about affairs as we can be.
According to a 2001 survey, about 15 percent of men admit to cheating on their wives or girlfriends, and women were not far behind with a 10-percent cheat rate.
But here's one thing that hasn't changed -- women are willing to forgive their husbands for infidelity, and men aren't. A recent study found that men were significantly more likely to end a marriage based on spousal infidelity than women (definitely).
"Men can forgive themselves for their indiscretions (because men[xy] and women[xx] were created differently) but find it harder to forgive their partners for the same," therapist Phillip Hodson explained to England's Daily Mail. "For a betrayed woman, an affair is an offense against her dignity. For a betrayed man, it's an offense against his manhood (the y in his xy). It goes right to the core of his identity."
Relationship counselor Paula Hall told the paper that husbands can't get over the fact that their wives had sex with another man. "For men, the (physical)sexual component of their wife's affair is important," Hall said. "Women are much more likely to ask: 'Did you love her (relational)?'"
And women are cheating for the same reason men do: they want affection and attention, and the Daily Mail notes, that's going to lead to sex.
Check out some out some female celebrities who may have succumbed to the cheating bug. We can't say for sure that their guys left them over it, but their marriages did dissolve soon after. (See Also: Why He Cheats)
LeAnn Rimes: Sparks really flew when Leann Rimes was caught cheating on her husband of seven years, Dean Sheremet, with actor Eddie Cibrian who was also married at the time. Apparently the love affair started when Rimes and Cibrian were filming Lifetime's 2009 flick "Northern Lights." Although Rimes and Cibrian ended up leaving their spouses for each other, a few months later rumors circulated that Cibrian was already cheating on LeAnn. He has denied it and sued Life & Style magazine for spreading the story.
Anne Heche: Anne Heche and Ellen DeGeneres celebrated their lesbian love, and we thought it would last forever. Unfortunately, Heche decided to switch teams and cheated on DeGeneres with cameraman Coley Laffoon in 2000, whom she married and had a child with. However, the relationship hit a snag when Heche left her husband for her "Men in Trees" co-star James Tupper in 2007.
Elizabeth Taylor: Known for falling in love one too many times and marrying even more, Elizabeth Taylor's affair with Eddie Fisher is by far one of the most notorious in Hollywood history. While married to "Singing in the Rain" actress Debbie Reynolds, Fisher and Taylor had one illustrious relationship. Fisher ended up dumping his wife and married Taylor. However, in the end Taylor falls in love again, but this time with actor Richard Burton.

jyi # 717f US & Law : schools for perversion
Pres. Obama may well be a nice guy, but his -Democratic- administration is a cesspool of filth, immorality, amorality and worse. Below is a relevant article, but first are a few newsbits that tend to substantiate what I note here and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com .
12-27-09 :
DISABILITY / AUTISM
Yonkers Rising(YR), 12-18-09, p.6 "Leake and Watts...Developmentally Disabled...poverty, disability and lack of access to quality education and basic services."
New York Times(NYT), p.A16, 12/09 "1 out of 10 American 8-year-olds struggle with autism, Arspergers syndrome..." There is a spectrum, between totally "disabled" (or "differently abled") and "idiot (or not) savants".
NYT, p.30, 12-22-09 "Rain Man" dies, a savant (very disabled) yet not autistic. Reading the obituary (and merging it with my experience), I'd say that women tend to focus more on "happiness", men more on "contentment". The decedant's brain had no (or only a minimal) corpus collasum between his brain hemispheres, so I'd say that he was somewhat consciously left in what I term the 'eternal' present, lifelong - but without a guide.
Brain in the News (Dana Foundation), 12/09,
p.1 Aspergers syndrome ; "Language Gene...Fox2P. Such could be highly "involved...(in many) aspects of the 'higher thought' that we attribute to humans...(The) gene is highly conserved (like that for homophobia) across species."
p.8 Attention loss is feared as a result of high-tech "re-wiring (of) the brain". Excessive use of computers, texting... can lead to a "breakdown in interpersonal relationships and an increase in ADD (a funny thing here is that the constant "flooding" -which is one of the many disabilities I have as a Traumatic Brain Injury[TBI] survivor- does the same thing - and I noticed such nearly 40 years ago, long before the internet...)...(And it is known as) acquired ADD...(A) short(er) attention span (is also common ; as a TBI survivor, I can attest that that may be a result of an overflow of information)...We are an addicted society (in more ways than one)...Men...post status (reports) after sex...(H)umankind...used to have time for deep contemplation over complex problems (failures of all kinds)...(but because of the above-noted, we) are not learning how to become resiliant (how to deal with failure ; indeed, we are not full humans unless and until we learn how to deal with the "challenges of defeat")...(We are not) used to the challenges of defeat...(There is a) link between excessive internet use and ADD-hyperactivity disorder in children and some adults...(and it is from) information overload"
12-28-09 :
In sex crimes, the "victim" is often as "guilty" -or more so- than the "perp" when grown men and women are involved. Nor is this necessarily intentional. Rather, such is a major consequence of the feminist nonsense that men and women are "equal".
MALE-FEMALE - lack of adequate common goals.
NYT, p.A1 US, terrorists, Yemen. Young men with little to do become terrorists. At least in the USA we have the Army, Green Berets..., the Marine Corp... and other Special Forces and elites. In addition, any US involvement in Arab and Muslim actions leads to more hatred of the USA and allegiance to the terrorists. What we need are adequate common goals to destroy Al Qaeda's myths.
NYT, p.B3 South Korea to build nuclear reactors in United Arab Emirate. Arabs are not stupid, either.
NYT, p.A14 Well-educated young Nigerian (23) Muslim attempted to blow up a US airliner over Detroit
NYT, p.A25 "Malcolm X" was a black man with red hair ; he had recent Irish (Celtic) ancestors.
NYT, p.A1 Recession and Courts. There is an explosion of "bad debts, soured deals, family violence, foreclosures, evictions, contract disputes, divorces, assaults, menacing...and people who cant afford lawyers in court. As the NYS Chief Judge said "Society's problems come to us...We(the courts) are the emergency room for society". But, as a lawyer myself, I can and do say that the legal profession is not doing its job. It is not properly shaping and forming public opinion.
NYT, p.A1 "Sex abuse by fellow GIs...in war zones" First of all, it disgusts me that women should be fighting together with men, for men and women are not "equal". But... Women enter sexual relationships with married men and then want out - and, often, the "victim" is as guilty as the "perp". In addition, many women in the military were sexually abused before they joined. Worst of all, though, is that feminist nonsense can and will cripple our military, turning male soldiers into pansies - and pansies run from fights. It disgusts me how terrible women are making things, but they are driven so to do by their cyclicity, by the collective feminine, because men are so terrible today, so lazy, irresponsible, effeminate and emasculated - we lack adequate common goals in society as a whole. And at least 10% of the victims of rape last year were raped by other men.
Jewish Week, 9-18-09, p.39 "Lighting Dark Night of the Soul" . Such was the title of a book by St.John of the Cross, although John's journey was more a spiritual journey in its initiation, whereas the author's was a response to his formerly not well lived life. The "Man Upstairs was trying to tell (him) something (so he listened to him in his prison cell ; which reminds me of the days I spent gazing out the window of my prison cell [summer, 2008] in Valhalla -gazing over the hills leading to Tarrytown, the Hudson and Rockland- where I was sent because I resolutely oppose feminism and all its nonsense)...(A) decent (contented) life is more important than (any external wealth...).
In truth, the loss of religion (adequate common goals) has led to our current feminist-derived and polluted superficiality and shallowness.

By Bob Weir Weir Only Human: Making Schools Safe for Perversion
In another example of the so-called “major media (owned and run by women and faggots)” refusing to print anything negative about President Obama, they have given scant attention to the problems associated with Kevin Jennings, his Safe Schools Czar. Jennings is the guy who gave advice to a 15 year-old high school student about how to protect himself when he was having sex with an adult man. Mr. Jennings was told that the boy met the man in a
bus-station restroom and it seems that the best he could do was to tell the boy, “I hope you knew to use a condom.” This is the same guy who has expressed admiration for Harry Hay, a notorious and extremely prominent supporter of the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA)(get rid of this faggot). Jennings is quoted as saying, “One of the people that’s always inspired me is Harry Hay (the firing squad may well be more than appropriate for such fiends).”... NAMBLA; they are a group of adult men who have developed an organization
dedicated to seducing young boys to have sex with grown men (firing squad for all ?). The stated goal on their website is “to end
the extreme oppression of men and boys in mutually consensual relationships by building understanding and support for such
relationships and educating the general public on the benevolent (benevolent ? no, masculinity[y in men{xy}] destructive) nature of man/ boy love.” The term they use for their disgusting behavior
is, “intergenerational sex.” First of all, the fact that a group of perverts (indeed yes) like this can operate legally in this country is just one of the signs of our imminent destruction (also true, a result of feminist excess AS ENABLED by the collective feminine so that men -as men- revolt against all this garbage and once again work to be and become men). But, in my opinion, the fact that the President of the United States would appoint someone,
who evidently admires this perversion, to a position that oversees the nation’s schoolchildren, means we are closer to the end than I
feared (as I've noted for years now - nor am I far-right-wing). Recent revelations about Jennings include that in 1990, he founded the Gay and Lesbian Independent School Teachers Network (fire him AT ONCE), which later became the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) [that has to be destroyed]. (Please, don’t anyone write and accuse me of being a homophobe (me, I freely admit that I am a "homophobe" and that homophobia is a naturally selected trait that tends to preserve the human race). Acknowledging gayness (I dont, but homosexuality has been around throughout history) is one thing; teaching it is quite another.) He was the executive director of GLSEN (so he is a faggot) until August 2008. One of the jobs of the group was to make lists of suggested readings for K-through-12 students and
their teachers. The reading lists categorize books by the ages for which they purportedly are appropriate. A review of the suggested
readings makes it clear that they promote homosexuality (and are fomenting a counter-reaction against such filth) and promiscuity. Several passages discuss kids having sex with adults. The sexual
scenarios and references are too graphic to put in this column, but, according tothe Schools Czar, apparently not too graphic for children to read (and this is ALL a result of civil rights excess - all feminist, selfish, stupid nonsense). This is one of those times when we, collectively, ask ourselves where our elected officials are (drowning in the cesspool of feminist nonsense that denies male honor). Well, I’ll tell you where one of them is, as well as who he is. Congressman Michael Burgess, M.D. (R-Texas) has introduced a resolution calling for the immediate firing of Kevin Jennings (I firmly agree). Burgess’ resolution, H.R. 966, cites a reading list and recorded tapings from a conference sponsored by
Jennings, that promotes sexual activities between children and adults. “The appointment of Kevin Jennings as, of all things, the
Safe Schools Czar, is very concerning. His support for extremely inappropriate(male[y] killing) sexual education programs and his promotion of these programs to young schoolaged children should not be tolerated (tolerate everything and you have nothing),” Burgess said. “If President Obama believes a Safe Schools Czar is necessary, the post must be held by an individual who does not promote criminal behavior and will defend American values (skip all that, for natural morality, the law of survival of the fittest -including in sociobiology/evolutionary psychology condemns homosexuality as being non-survival prone).” The resolution by Rep. Burgess referred to a WashingtonTimes report that Jennings
was “involved in promoting a reading list for children 13 years or older that made the most explicit sex between children and adults seem normal (all a result of feminist excess, civil rights horrors, as enforced by slimebag lawyers).” Congressman Burgess also delivered a speech on the floor of the House, in which he made his concerns about Jennings known. In addition, he wrote a letter
to the president and to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, calling for the termination of Jennings. I’m particularly proud because
Dr. Burgess happens to be my local congressman and his courageous attention to this matter is no surprise to me. However, given the hot button issue of anything related to gay organizations (homosexuality should be accorded the recognition it deserves - and it should be condemned) and the political pusillanimity of
many in the Congress, I would be surprised to see him receive a lot of support for his resolution from his colleagues. Yet, that’s
always the case when a leader takes a stand. Keep in mind, if it had no risk attached, they’d all be doing it.

contributing editor to the Yonkers Tribune and Westchester Herald.

feared (as I've noted for years now - nor am I far-right-wing). Recent revelations about Jennings include that in 1990, he founded the Gay and Lesbian Independent School Teachers Network (fire him AT ONCE), which later became the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) [that has to be destroyed]. (Please, don’t anyone write and accuse me of being a homophobe (me, I freely admit that I am a "homophobe" and that homophobia is a naturally selected trait that tends to preserve the human race). Acknowledging gayness (I dont, but homosexuality has been around throughout history) is one thing; teaching it is quite another.) He was the executive director of GLSEN (so he is a faggot) until August 2008. One of the jobs of the group was to make lists of suggested readings for K-through-12 students and
their teachers. The reading lists categorize books by the ages for which they purportedly are appropriate. A review of the suggested
readings makes it clear that they promote homosexuality (and are fomenting a counter-reaction against such filth) and promiscuity. Several passages discuss kids having sex with adults. The sexual
scenarios and references are too graphic to put in this column, but, according tothe Schools Czar, apparently not too graphic for children to read (and this is ALL a result of civil rights excess - all feminist, selfish, stupid nonsense). This is one of those times when we, collectively, ask ourselves where our elected officials are (drowning in the cesspool of feminist nonsense that denies male honor). Well, I’ll tell you where one of them is, as well as who he is. Congressman Michael Burgess, M.D. (R-Texas) has introduced a resolution calling for the immediate firing of Kevin Jennings (I firmly agree). Burgess’ resolution, H.R. 966, cites a reading list and recorded tapings from a conference sponsored by
Jennings, that promotes sexual activities between children and adults. “The appointment of Kevin Jennings as, of all things, the
Safe Schools Czar, is very concerning. His support for extremely inappropriate(male[y] killing) sexual education programs and his promotion of these programs to young schoolaged children should not be tolerated (tolerate everything and you have nothing),” Burgess said. “If President Obama believes a Safe Schools Czar is necessary, the post must be held by an individual who does not promote criminal behavior and will defend American values (skip all that, for natural morality, the law of survival of the fittest -including in sociobiology/evolutionary psychology condemns homosexuality as being non-survival prone).” The resolution by Rep. Burgess referred to a WashingtonTimes report that Jennings
was “involved in promoting a reading list for children 13 years or older that made the most explicit sex between children and adults seem normal (all a result of feminist excess, civil rights horrors, as enforced by slimebag lawyers).” Congressman Burgess also delivered a speech on the floor of the House, in which he made his concerns about Jennings known. In addition, he wrote a letter
to the president and to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, calling for the termination of Jennings. I’m particularly proud because
Dr. Burgess happens to be my local congressman and his courageous attention to this matter is no surprise to me. However, given the hot button issue of anything related to gay organizations (homosexuality should be accorded the recognition it deserves - and it should be condemned) and the political pusillanimity of
many in the Congress, I would be surprised to see him receive a lot of support for his resolution from his colleagues. Yet, that’s
always the case when a leader takes a stand. Keep in mind, if it had no risk attached, they’d all be doing it.

jewsyonkersislam # 717e US & Law : Ku Klux Klan satire not funny
jewsyonkersislam # 717e US & Law : Ku Klux Klan satire not funny
jyi # 717e US & Law : Klan satire not funny
Truthfully I detest clowns like "Rev." Al Sharpton and other, similar, poorly educated hucksters and rabble rousers. But I do like satire... Below is a bit I once did (although it was verbal) and a relevant article -which I have edited.
But first I note a few newsbits that tend to substantiate what I note here and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com .
`2-25-09 :
ECONOMICS
New York Times(NYT), p.B1 Fannie and Freddie are government mortage corporations and their funding has been extended - billions of dollars.
Journal News(JN), p.13A "Congress raises debt ceiling to $12 Trillion...(so that) the Treasury (can) issue enough bonds to fund government operations and programs until mid-February (in truth, the USA is bankrupt because of all the fools in Washington and elsewhere)...(So that the US) avoids a market-rattling, first ever default on US obligations
...(The US has an) out-of-control budget deficit."
WOMEN OVER 40 - more boys are born than girls, but by the age of 40, there are more females than males - subtracting the faggots..., it is even worse.
NYT, p.C1 "Its Complicated" is about "female-specific indulgences...(and) the power of fairy tales...(Older women's "enemies" are) firmer...younger (women)...(The) heart or... head wants what it wants (but one must also realize that "wants" are shaped and formed by the overall culture, too)...(The) independent woman's... life, despite (all her personal and professional successes), expands...once a man starts rocking her bed (body) and head (mind)...(for women are cyclical ; such proves the complementarity of men and women)
...(And such attentions) give (her) snap, vibrancy, color in her cheeks...(women, cyclicle, have a correct) belief in love enduring (despite set-backs)...(although such may seem both) wonderfully romantic (and) patholocic(al)...(N)urturing...(and) coddling (is something all women do and NEED to do...And women need to be both) pamper(ed and understood AS narrative, narrational, the past and the future..., confused and confusing)".
NYT, p.B1 "R" for smoking pot - and people complain. But I ask what smoking pot is all about ? About getting a "high", an altered state of consciousness (ASC) where everything is "better", "rosier" ? The "study of entertainment and society" today should include this - and realize that the lack of adequate common goals makes stuff like this inevitable. For today's secular rituals are shallow and empty, all a result of our society's being swamped by feminist bullshit.
MOTIVATION
NYT, p. B1 Two groups I hate most -the legal profession and the pharmaceutical industry. But I hope the law crushes Big Pharmas greed AS it drowns in its own.
NYT, p.A4 Israel's "existential crisis" is the same as that of the rest of the human race's.
NYT, p.A4 Muslim Kashmir and mostly Hindu India. Who is telling the "truth", who is "lying" ? It all depends on one's point of view - an existential crisis.
JN, p.5A The "problems of the world could be solved a lot easier if we would just (repress) our egos (Washington, DC's messes are a case in point)...The tradgedy is that is takes us so long to change...(Yet we have to in order to) survive...(The) key is listening
...(But it seems as if) everybody would rather talk than listen...(W)e do not really communicate well". But music would help a great deal here, music and adequate common goals.
JN, p.1A "Mysterious illness brings seizures, coma...long rehabilitation...(including at) Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains, N.Y. (where they also have group meetings for Traumatic Brain Injury[TBI] survivors ; being a TBI survivor myself, I've gone often, although not recently)...(He had to re-learn) how to speak, walk and perform basic everyday tasks again (just like me)...(and he has not yet "fully" recovered - also like me, although my TBI was nearly 40 years ago)...(His religious) faith (sustained him) ".
There is a difference between "normal" people -at the center of a spectrum- and "geniuses" and the "mad" at opposite ends of the same spectrum. But as I see it, the spectrum is more like a circle on which are all mental states of mind and states of consciousness ; ordinary states of consciousness (OSC), altered states of consciousness (ASC) and what some have termed Shamanic states of consciousness (SSC). As I see it, electricity plays a major role, electric or vibratory bodily contractions in the body, altered rhythms which affect the two sides of the brain and can make them resonate in synchronicity (the ancient Egyptians knew of and practiced Electro-convulsive therapy [ECT] using electric fish). A Shaman may allow himself to become possessed, a kind of self-induced epileptic fit (he can also use peyote or "salvina divorem", the magic mushroom). "Mental illness" and "depression" are also on this circle. And the healing of memories (depression) is helped by music (abreactional). Depression, by the way, is an "illness" of times of peace and prosperity -female mostly- and not of times of war. But, at the same time, music, brain injury (TBI) and PSI are closely related, singing and performing music (rhythm). Coincidentally, there are more than 7.5 million TBI survivors (like the man in the story noted above) in the USA alone and more than 300,000 TBI survivors from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to date...with many more to come. Brain Injury (TBI...) can thicken the corpus callosum, that which connects the two halves of an individuals brain, resulting in connections like those of women and musicians - and, presumably, improving a man's communicative capabilities.
In my thinking, each of us has his or her personal -and limited- human consciousness - as opposed to what I term the 'eternal' present ( see also "Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind", "Controlling Mystics" [in truth, one must learn to live with this disability]). As to some well-known epileptics, we have Caesar, St. Paul, Muhammad, Napoleon, Dostoevsky, Handel... and US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. The US Army tried to control the capabilities of the brain (see "The Men Who Stared at Goats", the book or movie) as did China, Russia, Europe, India, Brazil....
Yet one must always keep in mind that men and women are different, they are NOT equal. Men rely on women for everything, but do not like to be reminded of it. An excellent treatise of such can be noted in Kipling's poem "Female of the Species".
And "necessity makes forbidden things permissible", from The Koran.
12-26-09 :
MOTIVATION
JN, p.4A Why do we imprison convicted murders for life (including Richard Reid, who attempted to blow up a plane he was flying on in the air) ? We can no longer afford to care for these people for life. Executing them might make more sense ?
NYT, p.A4 "Mentally ill" people attack the Pope, the Italian Premeir... The Pope later spoke about Iraqi and Middle Eastern Christians, world "financial crises, moral crises (largely morale based - no adequate common goals)...wars and conflicts...(But) a society opposed to the logic of conflict (ignores the fact that men [xy] are oppositional [x vs. y] and are necessarily [purposefully] so - as opposed to women's[xx] cyclical and stable [but shallow]) nature ; such points to the complimentarity of men and women - and not as faggots and lesbians)".
NYT, p.A23 "Obama's Way" results in many things being "achieved" and "done that are not worthwhile" doing.
NYT, p.A6 Chinese defense attorney "arguing cases whose verdicts are already written". As a defense attorney for nearly 20 years, I emphasize with him.
NYT, AR, 12-27-09, p.3 "Coming out in Ireland", "coming out" anywhere as a faggot is nonsensical. Yes, I'm well aware of arguments from biology, genetics, chemical pollution... yet such is largely nonsense. In truth, it isn't easy being a man (xy), as we are "oppositional" - our x constantly wars with our y. But the feminist nonsense that men and women are "equal" makes EVERYTHING ever worse.
NYT, p.21, AR, 12-27-09 "Fine line between humans and other animals" And the difference is our limited human consciousnesses (as opposed to the 'eternal' present/ [3] motion, the 'eternal' present). "Neanderthals and chimps" both share the FoxP2 language gene with humans, but chimps are somewhat different. "Conversations" are essential, the key - not strict and unchanging dogmas. Yet, you "can not really communicate .... UNLESS you know whats going on in the other person's mind." . One appropriates rituals (i.e. what is "going on in the other person's mind) to better fit the conditions of the day (Confucius). The "soul" can be thought of as each person's individual and personal connection to the 'eternal' present - and such is also evidenced by dreams, "deja vu"...
NYT Bk. Rev., p.14, 12-27-09 DARPA and "Body Electric". DARPA is amazing ; its connection to wide-ranging scientific developments is well known. It is -and has been- connected to stuff like "Men who stare at Goats" as well as the electrical nature of the body, as with epileptic-like resonances and reverbations... (see above, PSI, PK...)
NYT Bk.Rev., p.16, 12-27-09 "God Gene", evolution, religion (women[xx] and the x in men[xy] ) and warfare (the y in men[xy] ) - sociobiology and evolutionary psychology. In truth, "religions are machines for manufacturing social solidarity...(and managing the so-necessary y in men)...binding us into groups...(And it leads to an) advantage in the struggle for resources (as today we have ever less every day)...(For) biological success...rituals (are essential ; indeed, we each are a "ritual" of one and all languages are also "rituals")...(For there is) short-term self interest (feminist excess, as today - stable but extremely shallow and)...the benefit of the whole (Adequate common goals -[1] survival plus- are central)... Supernatural beings (all Traumatic Brain Injury[TBI] survivors....are so disabled).... gods...(set moral laws and will reward or punish people when they die based on their behavior while alive in this world ; BUT as a TBI survivor myself -having returned from the "Dead"- I think we each will do such to ourselves based on what we truely believe)...(R)eligion (adapts) our instinctual piety (our inner need for balance and order)...to our changing needs (men[xy] and women[xx] are NOT equal but complimentary)...(M)ore ecstatic forms of worship...music, dance and trance (are ritualistically channeled UNLESS the rituals are ineffective, in which case, such) can be used for revolts (Mardi Gras in America.. ) against the established order...(In actual fact, though, all human thought, argument... lies on my [2] contentment/comparison level and tends to ignore my [1] survival level)...(R)eligion and trade (normal human interaction), religion and warfare (involving the y in men[xy])...and the way (religion) regulates fertility and population (my [4] polygamy - or not level ; levels [1], [2] and [4] all lie on my level [3] 'eternal' present/"motion" level)...(R)eligion can enhance social and national unity, manage scarce resources (the planet earth today has ever less of such - including beautiful and talented women) and (mobilize/motivate) young men to die for the greater good when called for...(What is) the weird particularity of religious experience (and how far that "particularity" extends to and within ALL other realms of existence)...mental and emotional life (is not known)...(But) religion...(is composed of) magnificently bizarre...(yet) oddly comforting behaviors and feelings".
12-27-09 :
One point I'm greatly indebted to Thais for is that my discussion of epilepsy, TLE (Temporal Lobe Epilepsy), Shamanic (self-induced) Possesion / Trance state of consciousness...and all the above, including the electrical nature thereof and tremors therefrom... sounds, she said, much like orgasmic delights and raptures.
MOTIVATION
NYT, P.A1 A Nigerian (well-educated upper class) son of a Muslim banker tried to blow up a US airliner as it was about to land in Detroit. Why should he have become a Muslim terrorist extremist - why should anyone do so ? Youth (he was 23) and a lack of adequate common goals.
NYT, p.A1 "Elite US force expands Afghan hunt...(B)ad guys" who are "reconcilable" are not "bad guys".
NYT, WK, p.12 2000-20009 : "What came first...(C)omposition is the arrangement of uneven things...(America's) deeper cynicism about governance (is deeper than) 'normal'...

(Maybe all the world's problems today and) our current hardships (will) lead us closer to Fr. Kane's sense of charity (and) his joy"
All good satire : first you laugh and then you think. It reminds me of the time I went to a Fordham Law School Alumni Luncheon and 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Joe McLoughlin (the Dean at Fordham when I went there) was the speaker. The topic had something to do with women's rights and leadership roles. After he spoke, I went up and spoke with him. In part I said "Women should never be on top. Did you ever try it with a woman on top ?" The Judge burst out laughing and another graduate -a woman- turned around and walked away
Georgetown University Ku Klux Klan Satire Not Funny
By Jeff Mays on Dec 22nd 2009 12:02PM
Students and faculty at Georgetown University are upset about a satirical article in the school's humor magazine that depicts members of the student newspaper as Ku Klux Klan members at a cross burning. The article also references "dark, human-shaped piñatas" and talks about members of the black student union being sprayed with water from a fire hose.
From the Georgetown Heckler:
The event began Friday with the staff's traditional procession under the dark of night from the Leavey Center, with everyone wearing the traditional costume of a flowing white robe, white hood, and white mask, portraying the "ghosts of Christmas past."
"It's a time to remember our great tradition, but it's also a time to remember some of the darkness that hangs over our past," Hoya Features Editor Emma Richards (COL '12) said. "It feels cathartic to put on this white hood. It's about us coming together as one and exterminating these dark figures of the past that seem to loom over us."
According to an interview, Jheanelle Brown, 21, a senior and president of the Georgetown NAACP, said Georgetown is "is already a very hostile climate for black people."
Brown said black students often feel unfairly targeted when they have to get more campus security for their events than other groups, while fighting the peer misconception that they didn't earn their way to the university.
(one of Georgetown's first Presidents was a black man, a Jesuit priest and a Bishop)
From the assumption that ethnic studies classes are less academically rigorous to the belief that all students of color major in those courses, "everything goes back to making me feel I don't belong here, that you only got here because you are black," added Brown(in one sense she is right, there is truth behind the assumptions AND there is too much feminist Al Sharpton nonsense here).
Editors at the Heckler say the article was supposed to make fun of the student newspaper for publishing an April fool's issue that was criticized as being racist and sexist:
"They didn't really understand the point, which was not to be racist but to satirize racism itself," Jack Stuef, editor of the Heckler, told the Associated Press. "We still stand behind our point in the article that we think racism exists on campus."
After reading the article, though, I, too, can say that in addition to being insensitive, it simply isn't funny.
I know everyone wants to produce satire in the age of Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, but it not easily achieved. Colbert says outrageously ridiculous things in his portentous, haughty and conservative alter ego; however, it's clear that Colbert knows how to walk the fine satirical line between being offensive and being funny. (Let's not forget that he has a team of writers.) Colbert also makes fun of everyone. He mocks conservatives for their views while holding up his satirical mirror at liberals for how they think about conservatives.
With quotes like the one below, it seems that the folks at the Heckler just don't know where that line is:
One of the hooded figures, apparently new Editor-in-Chief Paul Buckley (COL '11), gave a short speech to the crowd. "From now on we go forward free of the black marks on our past," he said. "We stand here united in these pure white robes and realize we are now pure and whi-upright, standing on our feet as a newspaper once again."
In one final act of symbolic ceremony, Buckley took off his robe and rubbed his face and arms in shoe polish. "I is the stupid dark demon that be hauntin' you!" he yelled in a strange voice. "Be smart and independent and pure, young Hoya staffers!" He was clubbed to the ground with plastic bats.
Finally the huge burning cross was extinguished with a fire hose, but first the hose somehow malfunctioned and shot water at members of the Black Student Alliance who were walking back from a meeting, knocking them over and causing injuries.
Brown said that the Heckler's argument -- it was satire and critics don't understand -- just added more fuel to the fire:
"When people complained about the article and we had a forum, [the Heckler editor] was trying to explain to us what satire was. I had to say, 'We understand satire, and that argument doesn't make the dialogue productive because you are underestimating our intelligence,'" said Brown. "I don't know anyone who laughs at themselves more than black people. The problem is that the article was insensitive and not effective on a satirical level."
The university also criticized the article:
"We condemn these attempts at humor, which ridicule people based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion or sexual orientation and which promote violence," Georgetown Vice President for Student Affairs Todd Olson said in a statement that described the article as "hurtful and potentially destructive."
It would be a waste if students just complained and then forgot about this incident. Brown hopes that what comes out of this is a dialogue about the misconceptions that surround students of color. She also hopes that it raises issues about diversity on campus and the diversity of organizations and publications, such as the school newspaper and magazine.
"Hopefully, this incident will help get people to look at these issues in terms of their bigger role in our world," Brown said.

All good satire : first you laugh and then you think. It reminds me of the time I went to a Fordham Law School Alumni Luncheon and 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Joe McLoughlin (the Dean at Fordham when I went there) was the speaker. The topic had something to do with women's rights and leadership roles. After he spoke, I went up and spoke with him. In part I said "Women should never be on top. Did you ever try it with a woman on top ?" The Judge burst out laughing and another graduate -a woman- turned around and walked away
Georgetown University Ku Klux Klan Satire Not Funny
By Jeff Mays on Dec 22nd 2009 12:02PM
Students and faculty at Georgetown University are upset about a satirical article in the school's humor magazine that depicts members of the student newspaper as Ku Klux Klan members at a cross burning. The article also references "dark, human-shaped piñatas" and talks about members of the black student union being sprayed with water from a fire hose.
From the Georgetown Heckler:
The event began Friday with the staff's traditional procession under the dark of night from the Leavey Center, with everyone wearing the traditional costume of a flowing white robe, white hood, and white mask, portraying the "ghosts of Christmas past."
"It's a time to remember our great tradition, but it's also a time to remember some of the darkness that hangs over our past," Hoya Features Editor Emma Richards (COL '12) said. "It feels cathartic to put on this white hood. It's about us coming together as one and exterminating these dark figures of the past that seem to loom over us."
According to an interview, Jheanelle Brown, 21, a senior and president of the Georgetown NAACP, said Georgetown is "is already a very hostile climate for black people."
Brown said black students often feel unfairly targeted when they have to get more campus security for their events than other groups, while fighting the peer misconception that they didn't earn their way to the university.
(one of Georgetown's first Presidents was a black man, a Jesuit priest and a Bishop)
From the assumption that ethnic studies classes are less academically rigorous to the belief that all students of color major in those courses, "everything goes back to making me feel I don't belong here, that you only got here because you are black," added Brown(in one sense she is right, there is truth behind the assumptions AND there is too much feminist Al Sharpton nonsense here).
Editors at the Heckler say the article was supposed to make fun of the student newspaper for publishing an April fool's issue that was criticized as being racist and sexist:
"They didn't really understand the point, which was not to be racist but to satirize racism itself," Jack Stuef, editor of the Heckler, told the Associated Press. "We still stand behind our point in the article that we think racism exists on campus."
After reading the article, though, I, too, can say that in addition to being insensitive, it simply isn't funny.
I know everyone wants to produce satire in the age of Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, but it not easily achieved. Colbert says outrageously ridiculous things in his portentous, haughty and conservative alter ego; however, it's clear that Colbert knows how to walk the fine satirical line between being offensive and being funny. (Let's not forget that he has a team of writers.) Colbert also makes fun of everyone. He mocks conservatives for their views while holding up his satirical mirror at liberals for how they think about conservatives.
With quotes like the one below, it seems that the folks at the Heckler just don't know where that line is:
One of the hooded figures, apparently new Editor-in-Chief Paul Buckley (COL '11), gave a short speech to the crowd. "From now on we go forward free of the black marks on our past," he said. "We stand here united in these pure white robes and realize we are now pure and whi-upright, standing on our feet as a newspaper once again."
In one final act of symbolic ceremony, Buckley took off his robe and rubbed his face and arms in shoe polish. "I is the stupid dark demon that be hauntin' you!" he yelled in a strange voice. "Be smart and independent and pure, young Hoya staffers!" He was clubbed to the ground with plastic bats.
Finally the huge burning cross was extinguished with a fire hose, but first the hose somehow malfunctioned and shot water at members of the Black Student Alliance who were walking back from a meeting, knocking them over and causing injuries.
Brown said that the Heckler's argument -- it was satire and critics don't understand -- just added more fuel to the fire:
"When people complained about the article and we had a forum, [the Heckler editor] was trying to explain to us what satire was. I had to say, 'We understand satire, and that argument doesn't make the dialogue productive because you are underestimating our intelligence,'" said Brown. "I don't know anyone who laughs at themselves more than black people. The problem is that the article was insensitive and not effective on a satirical level."
The university also criticized the article:
"We condemn these attempts at humor, which ridicule people based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion or sexual orientation and which promote violence," Georgetown Vice President for Student Affairs Todd Olson said in a statement that described the article as "hurtful and potentially destructive."
It would be a waste if students just complained and then forgot about this incident. Brown hopes that what comes out of this is a dialogue about the misconceptions that surround students of color. She also hopes that it raises issues about diversity on campus and the diversity of organizations and publications, such as the school newspaper and magazine.
"Hopefully, this incident will help get people to look at these issues in terms of their bigger role in our world," Brown said.

jyi # 717d US & Law : Christmas Carols
There is truth and wholesomeness in Christmas carols (and other similar-type songs, Christian or not), songs that exult women family, children - and the hardships of just living. Below is an article that I have edited on this topic.
But first are a few newsbits that tend to substantiate what I note here and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com .
12-24-09 :
ECONOMY
Journal News(JN), p.6A "Spending rises slowly, new home sales cool". Now I understand the need for public morale, but these morons in Washington (and the media) -Democrats, especially and essentially, but not excluding brain-dead Republicans- are pathetic. The truth is that we -as a country and a world- are on the ever-quickening road to disaster and extinction.
POLITICS
New York Times(NYT), p.A1 "Health Vote" reveals near-paralysis and total polarization in Washington, DC - all a result of feminist nonsense. And I will make it far far worse until we get rid of all the feminist excess there is. Some other major causes of our divisiveness and paralysis are : lobbying money, the 24-hour news cycle, partisan talk shows and the blogosphere. But the main cause is the lack of an adequate common purpose.
MOTIVATION
NYT, p.A1 My cousin, former U.S.Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, pushes for unbiased and competent Judges.
NYT, p.A18 Drilling for gas in a NYS watershed will poison us all. Another reason to stop using gas, oil, coal...
NYT, p.B1 Stirring the "Dormant nuclear industry" is essential.
NYT, p.A1 "Soldiers at risk...mental health, PTSD..." But the real problem is the lack of adequate common goals, especially in our feminist-dominated American culture.
NYT, p.A22 2000 -and several hundred more every year- war veterans are "suffering with the most severe form of brain trauma (Traumatic Brain Injury[TBI] ) - living and existing in a minimally conscious state. Their wives and families are also suffering a somewhat similar kind of brain trauma through their interactions with their wounded loved ones and their interactions with the outside ("normal") world. "Love" is central because it is action from the heart on the field of good. In addition to these, there are several hundred thousand less severely wounded TBI survivors -including those like me, and there are millions of us- who have "the power of mobility and speech", many of us looking and being quite "normal" except for our "basic cognitive impairments" - which leave some of us quite unable to be left unattended. There is a moral duty to take care of these people -especially veterans- and it is also a matter of personal and social morale. Unfortunately, because of all the feminist nonsense floating around in Washington, DC and throughout the USA, we are paralysed -about this and everything else. Feminist rot must go.

Merry Hyatt, Crusader for Christmas Carols
SAN FRANCISCO (Dec. 22) -- Attention, all ye faithful: Merry Hyatt has a plan to bring Christmas carols into the lives of school children.
The substitute teacher in Redding, Calif., says she is tired of working in schools where students aren't allowed to sing Christmas songs that are religious in nature. So she's sponsoring a ballot initiative that would require all public schools in California to give children the opportunity to sing or listen to Christmas carols.
"For years and years, maybe one person has been able to ruin it for an entire school (excess feminist-secularist-selfish civil rights nonsense)," Hyatt said. "It's not right. I think it's the majority's turn."
There is no law in California that prohibits caroling in public schools, said Michael Hersher, deputy general counsel for the California Department of Education. In fact, many school choirs perform religiously oriented music, including Christmas carols, during holiday concerts. But some schools find it simpler to maintain the separation of church and state by excluding all religious material.
Merry Hyatt collects signatures for her ballot initiative during a meeting of the Redding Tea Party Patriots in Redding, Calif.
Hyatt, 61, says she proposed the initiative because of her experience as a substitute teacher in Riverside County in Southern California, where she says she was told not to bring carols -- or any discussion of Jesus -- into the classroom.
"It's sad and it's wrong to have a Christmas party and not mention Jesus," said Hyatt, who recently moved 600 miles north to Redding. "It's his birthday."
Hyatt was a fourth-grade teacher for a year and a half and taught at a Christian school for a year. But mostly, she has worked as a substitute teacher. The spelling of her first name, she said, has nothing to do with her interest in Christmas carols.
Under her proposed measure, students who don't want to participate, or whose parents don't want them to participate, could be excused.
"They can have a holiday party in the other room," she said. "Or if they don't want a party, they can have social studies or some other learning experience."
Although California is one of the most diverse states in the nation, Hyatt believes the number of children opting out would be relatively small. In all of her years of teaching, she says, "I haven't run into a Jewish child."
Hyatt, who is making her first foray into politics, needs to collect 433,971 signatures by March 29 to qualify her measure for the statewide ballot.. So far, she said, she has collected about 350.
Nevertheless, she is optimistic. Members of the Tea Party movement recently agreed to help collect signatures, she said, and she is lining up assistance from churches.
"People have been upset about it for years," she said. "There are a lot of Christian teachers who have to keep their mouths shut. It's hard. We just want to sing(!!!! If Christmas can be commercialized -as it is every year- it dam well better also be allowed to represent what it truely represents, women, children and the family) Christmas carols at the Christmas party."
If Hyatt gets her measure on the ballot and it is approved by voters, it would likely face legal challenges. But not everything with a religious element is banned from schools. Much would depend on the author's intent, legal experts say.
In California, schools may introduce a religious theme if the purpose is educational, such as illustrating a cultural or historical perspective.
"There is no direct law that says you can't use religious music for a secular purpose," Hersher said. "It's not just Christmas. All year round there are publicly sponsored choirs that are performing music like Bach requiems or Mozart concertos that were written for a religious purpose."
Pratheepan Gulasekaram, an assistant professor of law at Santa Clara University, said the legal question of Christmas carols in schools is not clear cut. Some symbols associated with religion have changed over time into secular images, he noted.
"Lots of people who are non-Christian have Christmas trees," he said. "There can be symbols (rituals) that take on other meanings. The question might be, are carols like that?"
Hyatt said she got the idea for the initiative "from above" one day while she was sitting on her couch. At first, she rejected the notion. "But then I thought about the blessing I might get and I thought, 'Yeah, that would be worth it,'" she said.
Hyatt is so devoted that she said she attends three churches, Presbyterian, Evangelical and Catholic. She also mixes in a little Eastern philosophy.
"This is kind of far out there, but there is a possibility that we have had a previous life, and so maybe we are going to come back and do it again," she said. "How are you going to turn out if you don't know anything from the Bible?" (She added: "I was raised Presbyterian. They are kind of lackadaisical. I'm hoping in my next life that I could be Catholic.")
From Hyatt's perspective, the adoption of her initiative would merely allow teachers to respond to students' wishes.
"You can't tell children you can't have religion in school," she said. "December comes and they want Christmas. As a teacher, I am not going to stand there and put down Jesus to a classroom. I want it too."

jyi # 717c US & Law : Why men cheat
jewsyonkersislam # 717c US & Law : Why men cheat
jyi # 717c US & Law : Why men cheat
Below is a relevant article -as I have edited it. But, having been married for nearly 40 years, I have my own experienced-based ideas on this subject. My wife never gave my any reason or need to cheat -psychologically or physically. And I am a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor and have numerous disabilities - including hypersexuality (whereby we had sex at least once a day for nearly 30 years, sometimes twice and occasionally three times
a day). Psychologically, we share the same religious faith -and are observant. However, she practices our faith from a feminine (Celtic-Irish with German-Polish-English, not necessarily non-Celtic, either) perspective while I do it from a masculine (Celtic-Irish...) one.
But first I note a few newsbits that tend to substantiate what I note here and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com .
12-20-09 :
SEX
New York Times(NYT) Bk.Rev., p.1 "Hiding in Plain Sight" about a wealthy lesbian authoress, a sex addict who swung both ways (a little like that supurb singer, Nat King Cole). She had many lovers, usually women. Until it was wrongly changed in the 1960s, homosexuality/lesbianism was classified as a disease and a disorder (the effects of that change on society as a whole have been massive and uniformly negative). "Lying was her way of life and living...(A)rt is always about relationships - to material, to the self, to the world in all its chaos and intrusion, its terror and its glory...(and it often challenges) what we mean by good and evil...(Indeed, evil often) thrive(s) unpunished". Apparently, she was afflicted by partial flooding (like the total flooding of Traumatic Brain Injury[TBI] survivors like me ; our flooding often leads to our minds shutting down, though), whereby the process hijacked her.
NYT Bk.Rev., p.15 "Masculine Mystique...lusty heroes...(find) willing flesh...(there were) idealized, brute masculinity...(and) heroines possess(ing) the awesome power of desirability...(He often was sruck) contemplating...reverently...the sacred muffin...(Through sex) the natural world...(becomes) supernaturally charged". Believe me, it does.
MYSTICISM
NYT, Travel, p.1 "Crossroads of the World", Central Asia, "the Roof of the World", the "Silk Road". Budddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism...all mixed and matched. Marco Polo, Alexander the Great (with his Greek-Celtic...armies) passed through (and stayed : the Greek-Celts ; all of Asia knew about Alexander..."Sikander Ali" to Mahbub Ali, the red-bearded Pashtun horse-trader in Rudyard Kipling's KIM). The peoples of Central Asia are a mixture of Turks, Celts, Mongols, Huns, Tartars, Manchurians, Bactrians, Persians...
NYT, 12-23-09, p.A6 "Iraqs (Chaldean) Christians..(know and value) the importance of rituals (the experience of the past and the future in the present) and services (but such have to be) balanced against parishioners safety"
NYT, 12-23-09, pC1 "Reigning forever and ever, gloriously...(is) Handel's Messiah". As a singer-performer and just a listener, I have always loved this music - ritual.
PROBLEMS
Journal News(JN), 12-23-09, p.13A "British priest: shoplifting by the poor sometimes Okay". Morality in the Western...world has really hit bottom. But so also has so much else because of all the excess feminist nonsense we are drowning in.
JN, 12-23-09, p.18A Medicaid errors, excess and fraud are costing close to a billion dollars a year in NYS alone. Individual wants and excess are pitted against the good of the community and far too often the selfish and greedy prevails over the greater survival needs of the community.
Dec 14, 2009
No Holds Barred: Why men cheat (essentially because of the feminist nonsense that men and women are the same, are "equal" ; they aren't. For one thing, women need connectivity far more than men - and for women, connectivity [with the past and the future, the old and the young], is supplied by both inter-personal relationships and by an adequate and growing relationship with an adequate and growing religion and religious sensibility, a connection to eternity)
By SHMULEY BOTEACH
On a recent debate about marital infidelity on CNN, a fellow panelist was adamant that Tiger Woods' unfaithfulness was both predictable and unpreventable. 'As a famous guy you meet a lot of beautiful women. You feel attracted to them, they feel attracted to you, and you end up in bed. It's not more complicated than that and there's no way to stop it.' Men cheat. Get used to it. Case closed (not necessarily so ; if a woman satisfies her man, sexually and psychologically, he will let her "rule" the roost).
Such shallow drivel has been the level of discourse ever since the story broke that Woods may have had enough mistresses to staff a female softball team. Firstly, if there is no way to guarantee male faithfulness, why are we all scandalized by Woods's behavior? (because we are all afraid to grasp that polygamy may be the better way today). And second, a whole parade of powerful men - Eliot Spitzer, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, John Edwards - are destroying themselves and their families with acts of infidelity (all a result of the feminist nonsense that men and women are equal). And we can't come with any cause other than powerful men have a sense of entitlement ("entitlement" is a bad word - it is excessive, and covers social security...)?
What impedes any deep understanding of infidelity is the public's natural assumption that husbands have affairs for sex. In fact, the vast majority of husbands' affairs have no physical component. They are cyber affairs that take place over the internet. They are conducted over the phone and are never consummated. And even when they do get physical it is often very bad and unsatisfying sex, as Monica Lewinsky shared in the Starr Report and as a multitude of JFK's mistresses alleged as well..
IN TRUTH, men have affairs not for physical reasons but for emotional ones. They cheat not out of a sense of confidence but out of a state of brokenness. Not out of a sense of how desirable they are but out of a sense of what failures they are (soo true). And this is especially true of men likeTiger Woods and Bill Clinton who live in a hyper-competitive environments where they realize that they are only special to the extent that they keep on winning (the real problem we ALL face is the immorality of a lack of adequate common goals). Men like these are particularly broken, living as they do just one failure away from obscurity. They know that their value as human beings rests entirely in other people's hands. And they live in permanent and painful insecurity (sooo true). They constantly question their self-worth and they turn to women both to feel desirable and to comfort them from their pain.
Yes, I know. Men like Tiger Woods appear to the public as cool-as-a-cucumber. But beneath the calm veneer is a man who has been trained to believe(!!!) that his value as a human being rests entirely on a never-ending game of human one-upmanship (it is necessary to train men to be men -and not women or faggots- but men are also not just men as they are half female [the x in their xy] and are thereby meant to lead and be competent leaders). Those who have made their names in sports and politics live with unimaginable insecurity (ssooo true). And rather than deal with these insecurities in a healthy way by having deep emotional conversations with their wives about their fears (its more than just that - it requires time, and mistakes, and patience...), it is easier to simply paper them over by turning to strangers who make them feel special.
The attention of other women brings a momentary(!!!) silencing of the inner demons who constantly taunt them with whispers of their own insignificance(ssooo true). And the more prized the woman is by other men, the greater the validation these men feel.
Coupled with this is the intuitive gravitation by men to the healing(!!!) powers of the feminine(!!!). Men who are in pain use the caress and the care of a woman as a salve to sooth their broken egos. Having a woman care for you and make herself available to you - not to mention tell you how wonderful you are - becomes like a drug that makes you feel instantly better. Of course, the healing is ephemeral and unfulfilling(!!!) based as it is on a highly artificial sense of intimacy.
The obvious question, now, is this. If a man who feels deeply insecure looks to a woman to make him feel special, why doesn't he turn to his own wife? Because any man who suspects deep down that he is a loser is going to look at the woman dumb enough to marry him as a loser squared. She has allied herself with failure and is part of the same loser package. And if she has no value, how can she confer it on someone else (a very good point to make)?
THE PUBLIC makes the mistake of assuming that powerful, successful men are the most confident, that elite sport stars like Tiger Woods are unflappable (God love us and save us - such nonsense). Precisely the opposite is true. Everyone who seeks the spotlight, whether in sports, television or politics, does so to compensate for some inner feeling of inadequacy (dont I know), as Aristotle made clear more than two millennia ago. Every 'successful' man is inwardly broken in some way (what is a good definiotion of "successful" ?). If not, why would they spend their lives seeking a place in the public's heart?
Many will argue with me. Adultery is about sex. It's about powerful men behaving arrogantly. But then why is the most common refrain of the adulterous husband to his mistress the very infamous, 'My wife doesn't understand me,' meaning, My wife can't take away my pain, but maybe(!!!) you can. My wife can't make me feel good about myself. Even in my marriage I still feel so insignificant. But being with you makes me feel special.
I was not at all surprised to hear Woods's alleged mistresses saying that he told them he loved them and was unhappy with his wife. Cheating husbands always say things like this. And at the time(!!!), they mean it. Monica Lewinsky said that Bill Clinton told her he would leave Hillary and marry her, which again is common with the unfaithful spouse. They're expressing their(!!!) inner misery and blaming their wives for their(!!!) unhappiness when really they are solely responsible for their low self-esteem(let's ditch "self-esteem" and return to "honor") which will carry over into every relationship until he finally decides to fix himself.
This is why we see philandering husbands so often having many, as opposed to just one mistress. No woman can make a broken man feel good about himself. So he becomes a wanderer, obsessively traveling from woman to woman (sounds like the faggots running from one man's ass to another's ad infinitim) hoping that at least one will provide the magical salve he seeks.
Many have said that husbands like Tiger Woods are sex addicts. But then why aren't they addicted to sex with their wives (I had that problem with my wife - I couldn't leave her alone)? Why does it have to come from another woman?
FROM UNDERSTANDING the cause we can create a solution. Men who learn to talk to their wives about their deepest fears slowly become immune to an affair. Infidelity, it turns out, often provides a starting point for couples to address the void in their relationship which usually consists of the lack of truly intimate communication about life's anxieties and apprehensions. A man's deepest fear is of failure(touche'). And the person he most masks this from is his own wife beca
jyi # 717c US & Law : Why men cheat
Below is a relevant article -as I have edited it. But, having been married for nearly 40 years, I have my own experienced-based ideas on this subject. My wife never gave my any reason or need to cheat -psychologically or physically. And I am a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor and have numerous disabilities - including hypersexuality (whereby we had sex at least once a day for nearly 30 years, sometimes twice and occasionally three times
a day). Psychologically, we share the same religious faith -and are observant. However, she practices our faith from a feminine (Celtic-Irish with German-Polish-English, not necessarily non-Celtic, either) perspective while I do it from a masculine (Celtic-Irish...) one.
But first I note a few newsbits that tend to substantiate what I note here and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com .
12-20-09 :
SEX
New York Times(NYT) Bk.Rev., p.1 "Hiding in Plain Sight" about a wealthy lesbian authoress, a sex addict who swung both ways (a little like that supurb singer, Nat King Cole). She had many lovers, usually women. Until it was wrongly changed in the 1960s, homosexuality/lesbianism was classified as a disease and a disorder (the effects of that change on society as a whole have been massive and uniformly negative). "Lying was her way of life and living...(A)rt is always about relationships - to material, to the self, to the world in all its chaos and intrusion, its terror and its glory...(and it often challenges) what we mean by good and evil...(Indeed, evil often) thrive(s) unpunished". Apparently, she was afflicted by partial flooding (like the total flooding of Traumatic Brain Injury[TBI] survivors like me ; our flooding often leads to our minds shutting down, though), whereby the process hijacked her.
NYT Bk.Rev., p.15 "Masculine Mystique...lusty heroes...(find) willing flesh...(there were) idealized, brute masculinity...(and) heroines possess(ing) the awesome power of desirability...(He often was sruck) contemplating...reverently...the sacred muffin...(Through sex) the natural world...(becomes) supernaturally charged". Believe me, it does.
MYSTICISM
NYT, Travel, p.1 "Crossroads of the World", Central Asia, "the Roof of the World", the "Silk Road". Budddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism...all mixed and matched. Marco Polo, Alexander the Great (with his Greek-Celtic...armies) passed through (and stayed : the Greek-Celts ; all of Asia knew about Alexander..."Sikander Ali" to Mahbub Ali, the red-bearded Pashtun horse-trader in Rudyard Kipling's KIM). The peoples of Central Asia are a mixture of Turks, Celts, Mongols, Huns, Tartars, Manchurians, Bactrians, Persians...
NYT, 12-23-09, p.A6 "Iraqs (Chaldean) Christians..(know and value) the importance of rituals (the experience of the past and the future in the present) and services (but such have to be) balanced against parishioners safety"
NYT, 12-23-09, pC1 "Reigning forever and ever, gloriously...(is) Handel's Messiah". As a singer-performer and just a listener, I have always loved this music - ritual.
PROBLEMS
Journal News(JN), 12-23-09, p.13A "British priest: shoplifting by the poor sometimes Okay". Morality in the Western...world has really hit bottom. But so also has so much else because of all the excess feminist nonsense we are drowning in.
JN, 12-23-09, p.18A Medicaid errors, excess and fraud are costing close to a billion dollars a year in NYS alone. Individual wants and excess are pitted against the good of the community and far too often the selfish and greedy prevails over the greater survival needs of the community.
Dec 14, 2009
No Holds Barred: Why men cheat (essentially because of the feminist nonsense that men and women are the same, are "equal" ; they aren't. For one thing, women need connectivity far more than men - and for women, connectivity [with the past and the future, the old and the young], is supplied by both inter-personal relationships and by an adequate and growing relationship with an adequate and growing religion and religious sensibility, a connection to eternity)
By SHMULEY BOTEACH
On a recent debate about marital infidelity on CNN, a fellow panelist was adamant that Tiger Woods' unfaithfulness was both predictable and unpreventable. 'As a famous guy you meet a lot of beautiful women. You feel attracted to them, they feel attracted to you, and you end up in bed. It's not more complicated than that and there's no way to stop it.' Men cheat. Get used to it. Case closed (not necessarily so ; if a woman satisfies her man, sexually and psychologically, he will let her "rule" the roost).
Such shallow drivel has been the level of discourse ever since the story broke that Woods may have had enough mistresses to staff a female softball team. Firstly, if there is no way to guarantee male faithfulness, why are we all scandalized by Woods's behavior? (because we are all afraid to grasp that polygamy may be the better way today). And second, a whole parade of powerful men - Eliot Spitzer, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, John Edwards - are destroying themselves and their families with acts of infidelity (all a result of the feminist nonsense that men and women are equal). And we can't come with any cause other than powerful men have a sense of entitlement ("entitlement" is a bad word - it is excessive, and covers social security...)?
What impedes any deep understanding of infidelity is the public's natural assumption that husbands have affairs for sex. In fact, the vast majority of husbands' affairs have no physical component. They are cyber affairs that take place over the internet. They are conducted over the phone and are never consummated. And even when they do get physical it is often very bad and unsatisfying sex, as Monica Lewinsky shared in the Starr Report and as a multitude of JFK's mistresses alleged as well..
IN TRUTH, men have affairs not for physical reasons but for emotional ones. They cheat not out of a sense of confidence but out of a state of brokenness. Not out of a sense of how desirable they are but out of a sense of what failures they are (soo true). And this is especially true of men likeTiger Woods and Bill Clinton who live in a hyper-competitive environments where they realize that they are only special to the extent that they keep on winning (the real problem we ALL face is the immorality of a lack of adequate common goals). Men like these are particularly broken, living as they do just one failure away from obscurity. They know that their value as human beings rests entirely in other people's hands. And they live in permanent and painful insecurity (sooo true). They constantly question their self-worth and they turn to women both to feel desirable and to comfort them from their pain.
Yes, I know. Men like Tiger Woods appear to the public as cool-as-a-cucumber. But beneath the calm veneer is a man who has been trained to believe(!!!) that his value as a human being rests entirely on a never-ending game of human one-upmanship (it is necessary to train men to be men -and not women or faggots- but men are also not just men as they are half female [the x in their xy] and are thereby meant to lead and be competent leaders).

Judy Myers Votes "No" on 2010 County Budget
Dear Neighbor,
On Monday, I voted against Westchester County’s $1.8 billion 2010 budget, which was narrowly approved 9-8 by the Board of Legislators. The budget includes a 2.9% tax levy increase.
While the approved budget is $11 million less than originally proposed, I do not believe the cuts went far enough toward my goal of reducing spending and, in turn, the burden on taxpayers.
I also believe that the budget’s revenue projections were too optimistic in these tough economic times. I could not in good conscience vote for a proposal that relies on unknowns like increased revenue from Playland and the Westchester Medical Center.
I’d like to reassure you, especially those who spoke out on these issues, that I was pleased that the budget retained funding for the arts, children’s programs and important environmental protection initiatives. But, overall, I believe we could have retained that funding and imposed greater spending reductions in other areas (and that includes EVERY area, from children to entitlements for the elderly,
social services and welfare excess...).
With a 2.62% spending increase, the budget approved Monday is $48 million larger than the county’s 2009 budget. This was driven largely by increased costs in areas over which the county has no control, including social services and children with special needs programs, state retirement contributions and employee health insurance. On the revenue side, another factor beyond the county’s control is the economic downturn. County sales tax collections are projected to be $45 million less in 2010. The infusion of $38 million in federal “stimulus” dollars will certainly help but it is simply not enough to close the the spending/revenue gap that was the starting point for our deliberations over the 2010 budget.
Facing such serious challenges, I felt more strongly than ever that I could not support a budget that asks taxpayers to foot the bill for miscellaneous items, such as $1 million worth of legislator “earmarks” (wrong) set aside for “pet projects.”(wrong) While the county represents just 17% of your property tax bill, I weighed very heavily the impact of any property tax increase on our community.
I do believe there are unrealized opportunities to further cut spending through consolidating and streamlining departments– a goal I hope will be achieved with help from our new County Executive. I also sincerely hope that we are on the brink of better times when the county can once again tap sources of revenue other than its residents to preserve and even improve the quality of life we strive to enjoy. Let’s hope those times await us in the year ahead (better times are NOT coming - only ever worse).
Best Regards,
Judith A. Myers

jewsyonkersislam # 717a US & Law : My cousin, a US Supreme Court Justice
jyi # 717a US & Law " My cousin, a US Supreme Court Justice
Below is a story (as edited by me to explain things - as well as my opinion). But first I note a few newsbits that tend to support what I note here, in my writings and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com . For it is my considered opinion that men and women are complimentary, that they are NOT equal, as the law (which is an ass as it is - and because it is made by lawyers, who are asses) presently says.
As I see it, men(xy) are oppositional, always at odds within themselves (x vs. y),... while women(xx) are cyclical, narrative, the past and the future, stable and stabilizing...and confused and confusing, even to themselves .
12-20-09 :
JOY, HUMOR AND SADNESS
New York Times(NYT) Mag., p.8 No marraige ever is -or can be- "perfect". What does "perfect" mean, anyhow ?
NYT Mag., p.14 There is a "thin line between our national consumer frenzy (buy, buy, buy) and psychopathology...(O)ur entire culture has lost its perspective on the relative (and real) importance of things (and it) desparately needs help".
NYT Mag., p.24 "Right Hand of the Fathers... (N)atural law and, derivatively, universal reason(reality)...(reveals that men[xy] and women[xx]) are different...that husband(male) and wife(female) are complementary...(A)bortion (is an abomination as well as the collective feminine's attempt to force men to re-acquire honor so the human race can survive in the face of over-population and a declining planet earth[see my blog]...)...Pres. Obama (is poorly and wrongly educated on some things and badly informed on others)... (S)ame-sex marraige (and male homosexuality in general, is lunacy as well as illogical, counter-productive, male[y in men(xy)]-destroying and self -and community- destructive)... (The) American culture wars (are really human-race-survival wars)...(A) moral code as strictly traditional as that of religious fundamentalists (is not necessarily wrong -especially facing the problems the human race does today- because personal and communal/social morale greatly depend thereon)...(but such should be loose and also enforced by women) ...(It is true that) the universe includes facts (all of which are infinitely malleable, just as all "truth" is narrative) but not values (we human beings with our limited human consciousnesses need "values")...(R)eason is a tool...of whatever desire strikes my fantasy (and yet reason and desire both reside on my [#2] contentment/comparison level and are only operable AFTER my [#1] survival level is operative AND both operate on my [#3] 'motion' / 'eternal' present / field of 'good' level as does my [#4] polygamy - or not level)... (W)hat is the "self" (the limited human consciousness ?) and the battle between reason and passion (which" battle" involves my [2]contentment level and occurs on my [3] field of good level -in addition, as aTraumatic Brain Injury [TBI] survivor, I have numerous disabilities, including hypersexuality, so I am uniquely qualified to pronounce as and what I do, especially as) ...a blow to the head (TBI...does things to people)...(R)eason and free choice (how I was brought up)...(or) amorality and determinism (which is exactly what America,the West... have become today as a result of the feminist nonsense that men and women are equal)... (There are) moral norms in nature (survival of the fittest [more masculine] and the preference for beauty[more feminine] - see Darwin)...(but) 'morals' (must always be weighed against the practical realities of the day)... (R)eal marriage requires sacrifices (as my wife has shown me every day for nearly 40 years)...(And) body sharing (would include back scratching every night)...(Treating the) body as part of the mind (is putting the cart before the horse because the body is part of the 'eternal' present while the"mind" is no more than our limited human consciousness... in addition, while human) love...(is temporal, life is eternal)...(As to) Kevin Jennings (he should and must be fired - at once).
NYT Mag., p.32 A very successful female movie writer-director-producer. Women love her narratives because women ARE narrative.

Sandra Day O'Connor takes on new initiative
Posted: December 15th, 2009 03:56 PM ET
(maybe I'm wrong, but I believe that Justice O'Connor is my cousin, the daughter of the Movie actor and TV star Dennis Day, he who was born Dennis McNulty in St. Brendan's parish in the Bronx, N.Y. and whose mother was a Courtney, my father's father's sister's son)
WASHINGTON (CNN) - Two state supreme court justices from neighboring states find themselves in disagreement these days - not over a legal issue,but over how they should have gotten their jobs.
The two justices - Ohio Chief Justice Thomas Moyer and Pennsylvania Justice Seamus McCaffery (both thick Irishmen I would infer from their names) - were both elected in statewide votes.
Moyer says having to travel across his state to fundraise can erode public confidence in the courts.
"Going out asking for money creates a real strain in my judicial work,and I can't promise or predict to voters how I would decide a particular issue," said Moyer. "It conflicts with the idea that judges are and should be impartial, and not be influenced by anything, especially money." (sooo true)
But as Pennsylvania's newest elected high court member, McCaffery found visiting all of his state's 67 counties on his Harley motorcycle to campaign was a treat (he is also a showoff).
"That's the beauty of having electoral process where we need to be responsive to the community," said the former Philadelphia cop-turned-judge (but I like the guy - he is Irish, after all, and a former cop and lawyer [like my father]).
"And I think it's important that judges should be out there. It's just as important as other elected officials (but judges are supposed to be above politics)."
The experiences of both men are now at the forefront of a growing national debate over selecting judges.
The push for reform has a powerful advocate in retired U.S. Supreme CourtJustice Sandra Day O'Connor. She is lending her reputation and energy - and her name - to a new project aimed at assisting state-level efforts to have judges named by merit-based selection systems, not elections (corruption can also creep in here).
"This initiative is a matter of great importance to our country,"O'Connor told CNN. "The amount of money poured into judicial campaigns has skyrocketed (John Grisham's novel "The Appeal" is instructive), intensifying the need to re-examine how we choose judges in America (in truth, we need to acquire adequate common goals before we can fix anything in America or the world). I believe it is our moral duty and obligation to restore the public's confidence in our judicial system."(I have no argument with my cousin - only with her methods and use of the cultural ideas of the past)
The O'Connor Judicial Selection Initiative was created by the Denver-based Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System.
The group's founder and director says the 79-year-old justice has long been a passionate defender of judicial independence.
"Justice O'Connor adds practical experience with a [federal] system that works (too excessively feminist-biased), and she adds a perception of balance and moderation (in) that she has never been associated in the minds of the public with extremes on either side of the political ledger," said Rebecca Kourlis, a retired justice on Colorado's Supreme Court. (Hey, I like the conservative justices better than the too liberal wimps)
Kourlis senses increased momentum for change on the national level, prompted in part by an important U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June, arising from a judicial scandal in West Virginia.
In the so-called "Caperton Caper," the justices found a state judicial counterpart acted improperly when he refused to remove himself from a 2006 civil appeal, despite having received financial support during the campaign for his seat from the CEO of the key defendant.
West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals Justice Brent Benjamin cast the deciding vote in favor of that company, and the high court ruled a perceived conflict of interest should have led to the judge's recusal.
"What the [high] court made clear in 'Caperton' was that judges are different, that campaign donations need to be thought of in a different way
when those donations are going to fund a judicial campaign," said Kourlis. "It put on the front burner those questions of propriety with respect to campaign donations to judges, and how that impacts people's perception of impartiality on the bench."
Nevada has a scheduled ballot initiative to make it the first state in 15 years to switch from voter-based to merit-based selection of judges (who selects the selectors - and on what basis ?).
Ohio, too, has begun rethinking is voter-based system. Chief Justice Moyer has been through four elections on the state high court. He finds many voters growing more skeptical of judges in the first place, a perception he says is fueled in part by negative ads from political and business interests with a stake in elections.
"The only way to eliminate the public distrust (disgust) is to eliminate money from the process," Moyer told CNN from his Columbus chambers.
He is heading an effort that would give the governor and an independent review panel the power to select state judges. Voters could then decide a few years later whether to retain those justices. Alternately, he backs a system of public financing of judicial election campaigns.
Justice McCaffery knows his personality and personal story helped get him elected. An Irish immigrant, he used his law enforcement background to get a spot as a Philadelphia trial judge, where he once famously presided at the small "Eagles Court" underneath the old Veterans Stadium to deal with unruly football fans. The bald, burly judge with an easy grin was elected in 2007, and enjoys his work.
"I'm electable, not appointable (that is an important point ; one who inspires public confidence in the system as a whole can be a real asset - just like my friend Ken Jenkins on the Westchester County Board of Legislators)," he told CNN during the run for his bench seat. "If I'm elevated, I am responsible to the citizens, not the
governor, not the folks who talk about merit selection," a system he calls "elitist." (touche', perhaps)
The 19 states that held state supreme court elections in 2007 shattered previous campaign cycle spending records - $34.4 million in all - numbers which have increased steadily in the past decade. Nearly $20 million was spent on TV advertising in 2008 for the 15 states that held contested elections for 26 supreme court seats.(macro and micro effects must be considered and factored in)
The idea of judges running for elected office may seem like a strange concept, but it is the law in 21 states that have some sort of contested system for top judges. Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia - along with the federal system - appoint their judges, often under a merit selection system in which the governor gets the final say.(I think we need a hybrid system)
Many states choosing judges by merit also have accountability systems that include independent judicial performance evaluations and retention votes.
Supporters call that a transparent, unbiased tool for the public to essentially "judge the judge" on their record (the editor of the Westchester Guardian, Richard Blassberg, was a probation officer in Yonkers and he told me about some great judges and some constantly drunk ones [whose names I forget] ; in my own career as a lawyer, criminal and family defense, surrogates,NY Supreme, Westchester County...I've known quite a few judges myself).
The political and financial stakes are enormous - from business groups dueling with trial lawyers (I detest that group for its needless excesses) over multi-billion-dollar punitive damage awards, to ideological groups sparring over abortion and gay marriage. With civil and criminal court dockets nationwide growing at a record pace, judges increasingly are taking on contentious social and business issues.
"Studies show that roughly 70 percent of the public believe judges are influenced by campaign contributions, and more than one quarter of judges agree," O'Connor told CNN. "This is alarming because the legitimacy of the judiciary rests entirely on its promise to be fair and impartial(touche'). A judge's sole constituency should be the law(and if the law is an ass, he should work to change it). If the public loses faith in that impartiality, then there is no reason to prefer the judge's interpretation of the law to the opinions of the real politicians (selfish, stupid scoombags as a rule today) representing the electorate."
O'Connor also noted the U.S. alone in the world elects its judges through popular elections.
Reform advocates say judicial independence only comes with public confidence in the system.
"People don't like the notion of cash in the courtroom, any whiff of any expectation that judges can be be bought is just not acceptable in our
country," said Kourlis. "People understand how important it is to have an impartial judge. From your own personal perspective, walking into a courthouse, you don't want to be asking whether that adverse party donated to that judge's campaign."
jyi # 717a US & Law " My cousin, a US Supreme Court Justice
Below is a story (as edited by me to explain things - as well as my opinion). But first I note a few newsbits that tend to support what I note here, in my writings and in my blog, jewsyonkersislamiii-tc.blogspot.com . For it is my considered opinion that men and women are complimentary, that they are NOT equal, as the law (which is an ass as it is - and because it is made by lawyers, who are asses) presently says.
As I see it, men(xy) are oppositional, always at odds within themselves (x vs. y),... while women(xx) are cyclical, narrative, the past and the future, stable and stabilizing...and confused and confusing, even to themselves .
