Out of the past: The Kingston Trio

so it appears that 130 were killed today in Afghanistan and 23 in Iraq as duhbya and the christian fascists sing Onward, you christian soldiers and back home security alerts are raised at airports and high school dropouts increase to new records and USA kids continue to test lower and lower and of course healthcare sucks and economy a pack of lies and Putin attends Summer Palace while mass producing Topol Missiles and presidential candidates are from the same dubya-cloth along with congress so it is hubris, arrogance and greed along with WAR AND DEBT that are the foundations of "merica today--and as the Czar prepares for another State Dinner, go back to a song from 1959 sportsfans and read the lyrics to "The Merry Minuet" and then tell me about progress--lopez humms while caviar chills

LOPEZ CITIZEN REMINDERS

What is the national motto of USA?
DON'T ASK , DON'T TELL

What is the national symbol of the USA?
THE WINDSOCK

What is the national anthem of the USA?
"SOMETHING'S HAPPENING HERE..."

Every day, everywhere in USA, it is for sure, Buffalo Time

Yes, 'merican motto, "Don't ask, Don't tell" appears again with the "Pricing" of the CDO's--at Bear S., Marin is out and Lane is in?? watzup wid dat bud? a movement of the deck chairs? and how is your money market fund or your bond fund or your IRA mr marooon or mr pension plan or mr and ms teacher union or mr city and ms state ??? and the boyz put a price on their CDO's but what is the VALUE? Oh, really? Lopez senses a growing fear in banksters and cabal---fear? yes---the fear of TRUTH that would destroy their daily economic lies--are we sensing a Monster Economic Watergate that is greater than the Iraqi Watergate? lopez listens carefully to the Buffalo Springfield Anthem for 'Merica: "Something's Happening here..."

Russian Bear visits Summer Palace

citizen PoootN visits Czar Summer Palace this Sunday as dubya the magnificent is briefed again on Pooties' Judo book, and is reminded of his chess abilities while at the KGB--do we think duhbya is a little out of his league?? ho ho ho---and why NOW to kennny bunko port, senor Putin? is duhbya readying his HAIL MARY? are the plans made for one final desperate grab for greatness? is Captain Ahab coming into public view? are we seeing the reincarnation of Nicholas II: out of touch, maniacal, above the frey, and always resolute? what was the line of George Santayana about history??? lopez listens to the music from Dr. Zhivago while recalling the HUBRIS of the Czars

"Treat me like a fool, treat me mean and cruel..."

wall street sold the way-over-priced CDO paper to who? and Afghanistan has record Poppy crop---and duhbya says Iraq should be like South Korea for the military and like Israel for "model"-??and the Hatfields should be more like the McCoys---are we on alert for the national I. D. card coming our way--beware of Greeks...is USA the true sub-prime lender of the world? now that the immigration bill is down and out and the wars are going south and the monster of DEBT is becoming visible to marooons and congress v. executive looms; what about the old legacy? time is short short shorter each day and lopez fears the slamming of the immigration bill may cause boy king, the legendary Decider, to throw some kind of tantrum--you know, when the kids on T.V. scream until they get their way or more to the point, scream when they do NOT get their way--does this worry you when the toys of this kid are so lethal????????? lopez checks the world markets as 06/07 winds down

"HEAVENLY SHADES OF NIGHT ARE FALLING, IT'S..."

federales under benny boy say today that they are keeping rates unchanged but still think maybe some itsy bitsy inflation, but also maybe, a slowing economy will slow inflation down---Now these words are truly for those that believe in angels and ghosts and are against stem cell research and know that debt is wonderful and Iraq is great and attacking Iran is wonderful and debt is great and they also love dubya and congress, also for the debt they have created--HELLO BEN--Helllloooo--have you ever heard of an over the top money supply as in printing dollars 24/7 so each day we set a record for numbers of dollars in circulation and this is the cause of your inflation which will get much worse but is now acting like a "helicopter" floating, to keep marooons from sinking????Ben, FAIL-SAFE has passed--go peek into your drawer and look at your top secret and dismissed-from-public-view M-3--now,bring in the adults quick as dubya and the children are out of b s along with you------lopez mumbles obscenities

ever had a Mexican egg roll? how about a Chinese taco?

just keeps getting better: the House is getting a cost of living pay raise of $4400 while Ben says there is no inflation--and USA still has more in prisons than any country both in real numbers and as a percentage--Gulag time---and if you are S&P or Moodys or Fitch, well, how do you rate a CDO if you know they are priced way too high as in "Mark to Model"--ho ho- You ignore---cool--and if you think the USA cannot compete in the labor market, how about Mexico? jobs are leaving and heading to China--wow, USA is miles behind(see Lopez 3/26/07)--and remember, as a good citizen, you must hang out your wind sock (see lopez, 1/21/07) and always be mindful of the motto for all things in USA: Don't ask, don't tell----oh yes, coming soon is a reminder of the good old Czar days at Kennneeeebunk-port with czar dubya and citizen pooootN---lopez pours salsa on his huevos rancheros

Alfred E. Newman of USA--take cover bud

we as true maroons and true championship shoppers and lovers of Debt have zero ideas about the size and breadth of the CDO fraud---the federal reserve condoned and pushed, all because their political bosses wanted happy maroons--if lopez is even half right about the super screwing of the 'merican people--well, half will be very nasty and every single politician in office from 2000 on is the problem----greed and arrogance blow strongly in tierra del fuego---lopez watches the smoke grow darker as DC and Wall Street play their fiddles

TICK TOCK

fe fi fo fum, do we smell the blood of a CDO or how about an LBO? Too big to fail? What about too big to save or too big to talk about or too big to tell???? Fannie May? Freddie Mac? Wall Street? and have you read the latest BIS report on the economy of USA? Do you have any clue what your Federal Reserve and your banksters have done to you? Of course, has been the game for years, but dubya has taken to ultimate heights and very cute, using war as a cover--do you know of our old friend Icarus? and they always, when they take things away, they always tell you it is for your own good--been catching the latest from your Supremes?? and it is time to listen to the Buffalo song, "Something's happening here..."---and lopez nudges you to listen to the words and take heed----lopez watches wall street dancing faster seeking to move into the shadows as they play their favorite game: Pass the buck

Here's lookin' at you--kids

do the book tv schedule.com for your weekend tivo stuff--and "Plug In Hybrids" by Sherry Boschart shows that very good fascinating stuff is out there---we need the WILL but of course Oinksters could care less---and how about the ports in Mexico on the Gulf and on the Pacific, as they are right now, at big time less money, getting more stuff for USA unloaded, before being trucked north----and speaking of trucking, how about the Mexican truckers allowed in USA? did you wonder why? well, now you know-$$$-- any thoughts? and hey hey, how about the super super "autobahns" being planned through Texas from Mexico and all the way to Denver and into Canada----Yes, Yes, one North American country coming your way, so "slower traffic, stay in right hand lane"-- and while the prediction game is open, lopez can see two new states in next 10 years: Puerto Rico and Cuba---lopez ponders the map of one color including Canada, USA and Mexico and the two new states* also---so all of Central America too by 2050???--lopez wonders how dollars(or gold and silver), convert to Ameros--

the hellllll you say--they're empty?

do you guys remember the big ol' monster storage tanks about 75 feet across, circular, and about 15 feet high? well, when looking at one , you'd guess it was full of something---so you climb the ladder and go on top and then to the center and there is a manhole type lid and you open it and wallla-- it is sure full of an oily liquid and we imagine standing on top of it all and looking around we see 25 of these monsters and after checking, they are all full and we are very pleased---------fast forward: from a caller we have to go and check the tanks and guess what? in each tank there is a cylinder below the opening, going from top to bottom about 4 feet across and that cylinder is the only thing full----the whole damned rest of the tank is empty so our Collateral is big time smaller than we thought----from lopez: his storage tank analogy of the USA today

Which way does shit flow?

Yes they do. They are the ultimate enablers. They will do or say anything to gain power. They are destroying you but you, love it. You are the ultimate narcissist and in reality do not give one fuck about the future as the future to you, is NOW. You are living on borrowed money and are a part of a war machine that says they are good for the world. And you also sing Onward Christian Soldiers or a similar war song of your own religion. And, outside of what happens to you each day, you really do not give a shit--just keep the problems somewhere else or better yet, pass 'em on to the next group or groups---gotta love these fucks, these 'mericans------garcia la mancha visits lopez in Tampico

"The conscience of a blackened street..."

okay boys and girls, as we move closer to Cape Horn with good captain duhbya at the helm, maybe it is time for you to realize that both the captain and the congress are a big time WAR PARTY and not only do they have us in USA on a destructive course, they have also lied and hidden the truth so that you have learned to love debt and hate savings and love to shop and hate to read--but you need to know something about our vanishing money that buys less and less each year, so you have to buy and read: The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin----then you will at least understand that we are all a part of this gigantic Ponzi scheme--is a fascinating read, so begin---------------lopez lounges by the pool, in his mind, the Albatross

and the band plays on

okay, regarding CDO'S--if you were getting paid a fee for the value of the CDO package would you want the price to be 100; 50 or 10???mmmmmmmm--and you do realize that the democratic and republican partys own the USA and will do whatever to keep or gain control--whatever--and do you realize that given the present group of presidential candidates of both parties, you in reality have zero choices as all represent the same things (gravel and paul excepted)--and make a list of important things that would be beneficial for all the people and then ask how long these things have been issues and how long they have remained unsolved--and then ask yourself if you know one single soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan; and do you know their monthly pay and benefits; and their length of combat tour??? these are little things that you can ponder as you wander through the mall---lopez hummms and taps his feet, both while tapping fingers---whattta hombre'

Motto Time once again as Mushrooms grow on wall street

so when we see a sign in the yard of a property and it says For Sale, we know that means we are seeking bidders...but in the stock and bond market, there is always a bid on anything worth a shit so when there is no bid or bid wanted (BW), well, this is very bad---and all the shit CDO paper that is being held by the boyz, is also valued at something out of their heads and of course because it is all shit, the value is way less but they seek to avoid disclosure just like the government with most all of their economic releases--and Merrill threatens to sell??HO HO HO Merrill--an idle threat as there are no buyers, particularly at any prices the street has put upon them---Now, do we do show and tell? i think not as the house of cards may fall and just like net worth, we all look better if our phony-make-believe assets are never marked to market..so once more, if you have been reading lopez for awhile, the motto of the USA strikes again: Don't ask, Don't tell....lopez holds his breath

damn chickens comin' home to roost?

well, the CDO game between Merrill and Bear Stearns is getting hot---see lopez, 6/01/07--in your face poker or is this the OK Corrall? maybe Bear S is the proverbial Canary in the mine??and of course when you throw 20-30 thousand troops into most cities, you gain some edge, so boy king thinks Surge be very cool and knows he is very smart---oh yes, 14 from usa killed in last couple of days--hey hey, all in the game, huh dubya??? and we need more? 3rd carrier group moving to Persian Gulf--now lopez wonders about the Sunburn Missiles that Iran got from Russia? do they work on Carriers? Idiots Prevailing-wowee--rub a dub dub--more into the tub?? lopez fascinated to be viewing, far and away, the dumbest group of leaders in the history of the world and they are honored to be led by easily, the worst leader of any time or any country---duhbya the magnificent--ah so too we be, my friends, Edmund Burke has labled us quite accurately: dumb is truly forever and we are certainly reaping what we have sown

The Artful Dodgers among the shadows

yes, they just had to sell all their stocks and go into cash to avoid any criticism--this from billy boy and hellry? ho ho ho-- truth from the center of the Cabal?? no way jose'; lock and load, antennas up and night goggles on and think of the song of Buffalo S.--and Bloomberg leaves repugs? another wild card in the game--and longer combat tours being studied? horseshit-- is a done deal along with the "brand new" Iraqi government coming your way quite soon--the boyz want time/thyme and they will get it--and read Chris Hitchens new book "How religion poisons...god is not great." ever notice the last few hundreds of years that the most religious countries were the most fucked up...and lopez thinks that even now, june/07, it is even money that dubya will try to stay in office forever---don't laugh too loud...and La Boheme opens 6/29 in Santa Fe--lopez sipping Patron' and sucking a lime with salt along with thinking of invading Mexico in a daring coup de gras'

Cape Horn, now or soon, but just ahead

Cape Horn; Strait of Magellan; Tierra del Fuego---if we were sailors, approaching, navigating carefully, we would certainly be very cautious, and fearful and will have taken every precaution to make sure we are safe--BUT--from Iraq and Afghanistan to Congress; to the recent rise of Hamas; into the bowels of wall street and all along the borders; the Shading, by the media; we wait and watch as the captain smirks and grins...lopez sees the sculpture of the Albatross upon the hill.

Third Party Dreams

another rainy sunday morning and after four days away from cable and the world, lopez returns and damn, it is MOTS and after much pondering and cogitating, lopez has concluded that the only answer for USA is a THIRD PARTY as those in office or just out, or sniffing around, suck----it would take some big cash from billy g or warren b or maybe a few but it needs to happen--just tune in and listen, and depression comes immediately, hearing those clinging to the present money-pits of power---and we have all created this by going along to get along and living for today and well, hell, tomorrow will work out....but monster debt and arrogance and greed are foundations that are crumbling, so we must act now----any ideas???????????lopez back, and more concerned as Oinksters keep lining up behind the Czars

And which political party have you been voting for???Suckah

Ever wonder how much better off the people of USA would be if we had had interest rates at 5% instead of 1% and walla, we would have much more money in savings and less in debt----and what if we had not spent money on the wars in Iraq and Afghan---wow, such a surplus----and would those things have been good??? Well, honestly, NO---USA is surviving on consumers buying and borrowing and buying and borrowing, etc., etc., etc.and government spending and spending on War---W&D, war and debt or w and dicky--We need debt and more debt and more debt and have you ever thought about where that ends? What is it that we provide that the world needs? Buyers, consumers, borrowers, debtors---we are the land of the entitled as in Royalty and as we are printing dollars 24/7, creating massive dilution and massive debt, well, do you wonder where we are headed? Lopez notices that the nicest, largest and most prevalent buildings are banks and churches---woweee--and which business are you in my friend?????

Grand Opening, Gated Community-- Beautiful BUSH GARDENS, downtown Baghdad

6 construction firms but no one knows who they are but at least we know the architectural firm is in Kansas City and at a cost of ONE Billion $$(only $600 million allocated, but who's counting)---104 acres; 22 buildings overlooking the Tigris River---another example of Congressional oversight--yeah baby------and opening soon with helipads for the choice locations---does anyone know the real estate company doing the leasing?? lopez wonders if an authentic Jewish Deli would be a success???maybe stick with the tacos and tamales???decisions, decisions------go dubya, you da man

Triple Crown for the Ranger's wife aka Queen E.

for the record--Tiago to win Belmont--and gracias to senor Ranger as lopez watches once again-----okay, race now over and this is an add on-- life long racing fan Lopez did not pick the winner but congrats to Todd Pletcher, trainer and john valazquez, jockey, and to Rags to Riches, first filly to win in over 100 years---a cool race at an awesome track and of course right up the road a long Piece, is lopez favorite track, Saratoga-- home of the legendary Saratoga Trunk, 1945, with Gary Cooper, and Ingrid Bergman, and two of the all time great "movie names"---Colonel Clint Maroon and Clio Delaine--wow---lopez digs the ponies and the movies

Hey Quixote, where be you at senor??

is it the weather that seems wilder or is it our now knowing about the weather world wide due to speedy and vast communications? who knows but with monster storms in Australia, China and South Africa and a cyclone in Persian Gulf and drought in L.A. and drought and rains mixed with dirty snow and birds falling in parts of the world...well, what the hell? probably has always gone on but now we know and who cares if global warming is man-made or not, it seems to be happening, so let's deal with it--and so favorite t v series of all-time for lopez was Northern Exposure and it is gone and there are re runs but Lenny from Law and Order, gone; and of course Mash; and the boyz took Imus and Bernie off and now Tony S. will soon be Offed----damn, time again for the old song of Buffalo S.: "Something's happening here..."----lopez by the pool and almost forgotten, the third leg, the Belmont---lopez takes a long shot, TIAGO to win---------------

Yes, Election winners are the overly aggressive, super-arrogant and totally self-absorbed

Once again it becomes obvious that we are all screwed as the system cannot be changed in that it is sadly the best system but the monster catch-22 is that the people that want to win and seek to win and will run for office are, in the great majority, the exact wrong types to be honest, competent, servants of the People--just read history for openers and then be objective and look at our problems and our leaders and no matter where you stand, try and get a little grasp of this immigration bill and you will find that it is beyond the minds of rocket scientists in its complexity----pathetic but typical of elected officials----lopez still making salsa

How sweet it is--Check after one move?

Talk about playing the fiddle while Rome burns-- well damn, you should turn on your local news and then your cable news and from the former you will learn that although there have been many murders, robberys, kidnappings, etc., in your area, it is all okay and you can go shopping. From the national news you will learn that Paris girl is out and generally the world is doing great, except for dubya who is cogitating somewhere as dear old pal Vladimir suggested an alternate missile site and that was not in the damned script-- can one say Check after the first move?-oh, and you can rest and relax as vp dicky boy has already told us that "debt does not matter" and the ol' st louis fed told us that current account deficits are not a problem---man, do we feel better unless of course we are Spain who is sinking into a hole and happens to have the second largest current account deficit behind, well hell, you know who is first---lopez munches pretzels and makes some salsa espana'

Do we have an appointment????

we are getting deeper and deeper as today dubya said, "russia will not attack Europe." Now remember, we're talkin' dubya here, not just some dumb spoiled arrogant little rich kid--this is from the lips of dubya the great and with his record, well, i think you know....and raise your hands if you understand the meaning of the term, " 'Merican Peso." yes, you got it, it is the old USA Dollar--and do you know the term, "Banana Republic?" Well, let's see, we in USA can be the "DEBT REPUBLIC" as we have more than rest of world combined and is rising dramatically each hour--and there is a great line from a great song, "...where are the clowns?...quick, send in the clowns. Don't bother, they're here." lopez humms as he reads "Appointment in Samara"

Gore and Webb in 08 on a 3rd party ticket in an easy win as Truths emerge to piss off big time all Maroons

Have you noticed that Europe and BRIC are booming with surplus's and real employment while, under dubya, USA continues as the Debtor Nation so marooons of USA can not be bothered by having to pay for wars or anything for that matter---and down the tubes rapidly: Iraq; Afghanistan; Spain; New Orleans; Detroit--And lopez is very happy in that he SEES the rotten-to-the-core two main political parties falling apart and the emergence of a third party that will win the 08 presidency with Al Gore and Jim Webb----maroons are on the verge of discovering they have been lied to for years and under dubya, also been victims of fraud----lopez lights a cigar a la "Red" A. in the glory years

Hey Hombre', Is that Wasabi like a Habanero?

Do you remember reading about a place called "Muscle Beach?" The repug debate reminded lopez of "adults flexing" on the beach and lopez wondered how many were "packing." And this mouth thing of dubya and his love-in with "Vladimir" is downplayed in USA but is a big time monster deal, all about $$$$$ and Control of energy world-wide and of course for dubya, more "arrogance" on display---see lopez of 12/30/06--and we in USA get little press but this Cyclone Gonu in Gulf of Oman (first time ever) is a biggie and has possible nasty results as in oil and shipping---And for all of our currency groupie friends who are closely watching the Yen/Swissy...well, it may be time to harvest and prepare the Wasabi, as between the Yen and the Swissy, the "carry" boyz could start changing clothes---we wait, we watch--lopez sips saki with his cheese fondue

It is in fact the Year of the Pig in China and another year of the Oinkster in US of A

Do you realize that dubya has USA in a monster trap with his policy of using debt and borrowed money. As we all know, the borrower is always a slave to the lender and it is the whole world led by China and Japan, that is our lender (banker). And when they sell or not even sell, just slow down their buying, well damn, rates in USA move up---just exactly what the real estate and auto industries need along with the monster debt of individuals. USA is in a hole so deep that the only way out is hard ball and the whoopsie daisy american consumer and the greedy arrogant oinkster banksters and politicians are so arrogant they may just sink the damned ship. Lopez watches carefully all the icebergs, as captain dubya roars ahead with his mouth wide open

Dubya the great---Always wrong, Never in Doubt

Damn, if you were not worried before, well now we should all be really on alert and be ready for anything as today in Prague, Dubya the great told Russia not to worry about the missile shield thing as "the cold war is over." Did you see that??Dubya says the cold war is over--and listening to dubya during his lifetime, particularly his presidential lifetime, you know this is a very ominous thing--when dubya talks, shit happens--lopez seeks his helmets and a foxhole

The Decider once again doing his high wire act and it is the USA on the high wire with no net--muchas gracias senor dubya

Have you noticed that dubya talks down to everyone as in people and countries---and we "defeated" Russia???well ho ho ho children, you better start reading as USA today is in the exact same place as Russia was in the eighties, except it is worse for USA as dubya is the leader--Russia today has no debt and monster amounts of natural resources and monster amounts of oil and supplies all of the natural gas to Europe and along with India and China has been on a big time economic boom---dubya has wars and bills and overhead and more debt on his watch than all of the total debt from the very beginning of the USA in 18th Century--this guy is unreal and you will find out one day, that the lies on this economy are staggering in their breadth--oh yes, and the whole world hates dubya and USA---notice countries that are dropping the Dollar as their exchange medium? And another RAP on this idiotic congress is that dubya, envisioning Iraq to be a South Korea, has been building monster, monster bases for troops and people all over Iraq and have you heard of this from media or congress----only if you are a thoughtful reader----lopez once again scared and pissed as boy king threatens Putin, China and anyone and everyone

Officer Krupke, Krup you

asking a question about billy boy Clinton is so loaded and such an obvious suck job for hellry that lopez would like to know exactly what corporate ass kisser made Wolfie ask----and do you have any real idea what is happening to prices of real estate in Detroit? is very scary and worse than Nawlins---Lopez wonders also if you have ever heard of Preet Bharara? keep eyes open----and looking for Officer Krupke and Lt. Lothar Zogg? well, they may be the new heads of Homeland security---and marooons would not vote for Ron Paul or senor Gravel and lopez finds zero candidates that are not 100% paid for and would like someone-s who would whup up on the D boys so it looks like we need Gore and Webb for 08--damn, would that not piss off the owners of the Partys aka clintonistas and bushyites-----lopez sipping clamato juice

We need Thyme says dubya

For sure our glorious war president, messiah boy aka king aka emperor is looking at the cable nuz and wondering how in hell he got into this SEPTEMBER bullshit when he and his boyz are supposed to give an update on the ol' Surge---this deadline thing is bull shit so what can he do as his goal is South Korea in Iraq (maybe a new song title) So lopez sends e mail to neo con higher up(see lopez strikes back..2/21/07) and here is the idea: Change governments in Iraq---fire these guys and load all of the blame, bad shit, everything on them and then appoint, oh sorry, have a new quick election or a secret vote of the ho ho ho Iraq Congress and kazzaaaam----with a new government, one must have time and more time and more time so as to give 'em a chance----woweeee, lopez does a dubya magic trick like Karl

We would like full disclosure please MF

Why would the Reporting media not treat all presidential candidates as equal? And if agendas, should they not disclose as in "we love so and so as they have promised us a rose garden." cool---but are you curious? Lopez noticed at the repug thing, the foxy boyz hated Ron Paul even though he dusted off el duce' and the others too--and at the dem thing, wolfie certainly had his favorites; and will law and order run? gotta love it--hilton, martha and dr k in jail; imus riding horses; Surge imploding; Turks raid Kurds; Dubya wants missiles around Europe to protect them?ho ho ho--ah hah, do not forget, we are human beings so we have an excuse--lopez wonders if Elvis ever recorded Onward Christian Soldiers??be cool in an Ipod next to a heat seeker thing-

People of USA--are you not the least bit worried about this dubya boy and his gang????

It is better to shop and travel and spend than it is to recognize that your USA government is piling it on the future so your kids and grandkids will be calling most all of us the Oinksters-(see 3/09/07)--all this is for re election or election and watching the dem debate yesterday was a very clear view that FEAR OF LOSING negates any and all thoughts of WHAT IS RIGHT--and if you feel safe, then read some more history and look, from the very beginning, governments have ALWAYS screwed the people in the name of saving them---check out the old lopez post(2/25/07), about the German person born in 1900---hell, you could use a Russian person or take the majority of people born in 1900 or pick a year-- and do you think the Czars had a good life style? and how about their heirs? there are no heirs as their greed and stupidity and arrogance led them to extinction. Can we get one great word into our minds? HUBRIS-----lopez reads the Greeks

First Question for both the Democratic and Republican Debates: How do you spell FUCKED???

Lopez looking forward to the Democratic and Republican debates like he looks forward to a game of baseball which to lopez, sucks, and is quite boring too---and while the Democratic "group" is there, lopez suspects they are each being paid mucho dineros by the PTB, aka, the owner of the party, aka, the Clintonistas who are paying each of the "master-baters" so IT will look like a real race in which Hellry can triumph. And for both groups, do you think anyone will ask why none of them, not a one of them, took the time to read the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq before they voted for war??(Ron Paul and Joe Biden are maybe the exceptions). Too busy doing the work of the People?? And first three days of June, 2007, 16 USA soldiers killed however, "things are really and truly getting better, as this Surge thing is in fact, Unbelievable." This statement was made by Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper who was on his way to a fact-finding-meeting with Group Captain Lionel Mandrake and dubya the magnificent. Lopez reads the early news while humming "Twilight Time."

Voice of the Past Nails the Present

Okay, lopez does not like political types but look for, on BOOK TV, look for Victor Gold and his speech about his book, "Invasion of the Party Snatchers"----much good stuff about the ruination of USA and repugs by dubya and the boyz, and when he told of vp dicky boy, every day traveling the 2 miles from where he lives to the WH, and each time, little dicky has an entourage of 12-18 cars and sirens blaring----EGO ON THE MOVE IN OLD DC----does that not remind you of George C. Scott in "Patton" with sirens blaring as he roared to his new command in North Africa??? lopez recalls George C., an all time favorite who hung at ol' Mizzou a brief time

"Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"

Yes it is true, the dubya Surge does remind lope of the May West Line so think about it for a moment---ho ho---And the meeting of senor Putin and usa president Merkin Muffley will take place at G-8 in a small chess game but of course we know one of the "players" does not know how to play as at their last match, Putin did a P-K4 and Merkin reached for his AK-47---and lopez reads that governor of Tejas is at the Bilderberger shindig---wow---now, lopez wonders if elected, would the legendary Kinky Friedman have also gone???? Oh hell yes, the Surge is super duper and is doing great according to General Buck Turgidson and yes there were 7 USA soldiers killed Saturday but, "It shore kudda been a hole lot wurse, " said Major T.J. "King" Kong. Lopez listens to Sgt. Pepper on the weekend of his 40th

Damn sonzabitch. How 'bout dem goddamned beets?

Another Sunday Morning so good morning Kris K.--and here we go, getting ready for G-8 in Heiligendamm, Germany, home of the best ever for Lopez, Steak Tartare---love the ol' Cannib'aal----and are we watching Turkey? Are we seeing the Kurds getting squeezed? what mean? Buffalo time again? and as the 600 million dollar USA Embassy in Iraq nears completion, are we aware how many more of "These" things are being built in Iraq? Yes maroons, we do be in fact the Mushrooms as we have the same diet---and maybe casually you listen to the BOYZ OF DUBYA who tell you there is no inflation and then you scratch your head at the gas station or the grocery store or everywhere....so lopez says, go back to the Lopez blurb of 2/25/07 on the Weimar and re read as you ain't seen nothin' yet....lopez grinding the Imus beans before a morning swim

Shit Happening Everywhere---you da man, dubya

Okay, start of summer fun----The Bilderberg Group is meeting in Istanbul--you on the list??(remember Constantinople?)-good area for Caviar---and the Birth/Death Game of the Bureau of Labor continues to win all fiction awards---and the European Missile Defense thing is a monster pay off to who??and have you received your family picture of the bushies and ol' Rev Moon? very cosy---Well, without question, the big big event for early fall, September, is the Grand Opening of the Larger-than-the-Vatican U.S. Embassy in Baghdad---wow, and what a party will be thrown by dubya and the boyz and all at the same time as the great success of the Surge will be announced---it just does not get any better so make your travel plans NOW---oh, lopez has it on good authority that the Baghdad Hilton is being booked fast---have some real old fashioned FUN IN THE SUN and have a trip you can really brag about at the ol' Club------lopez reading EarthKind, pondering the wonders of bag town in the fall and humming an old favorite song, AUTUMN IN BAGHDAD, WHY DOES IT SEEM SO INVITING...

Walkin' Dude humming again in ol' DC

Once upon a time for lopez, Friday nites were fun and games, but now he reads the fun and games of others in the form of CDO's--collateral debt obligations--these are essentially little pieces of shit put together into a t--- and sold to the public with a high rate of interest--cities and counties and states and pension plans and all the people that really need high risk shit ---and from all the big names too----lovin' those fees----and if Rupert swings Dow from the present owners, well just like how wonderful the war in Iraq is on Fox nuz, well, with R owning Dow, there may never be a DOWN day on any market ever reported--and at the start of the weekend, let's hear it for dubya the great and his military boyz who are now saying that the Surge is looking so god damned good, they will probably need a bit more time than September to really make sure how sweet it is.....and as lopez watchfully strolls through DC, he can hear the choir boys warming up for Sunday: "Onward; Christian; Soldiers; play it again SAM and hey, pssssss--shhhhh---Any casualties today?

"Are You Alright?" a song by Lucinda Williams

Now lopez recognizes that many of the people he has known in his life are also doing or about to or just-have-done their 50th High School thing and looking around at his close circle of daily friends, lopez sees no one as that is and has been his choice. Wife and dog are enough and kids are East and South and West and between Bogart and Howard Hughes, lopez finds his comfort and his idols along with the awesome lyrics of Our Time from Bobby Zimmerman. However, it popped into the head of lopez that All of the 5oth Reunion Folks should have a song that is perfect in its reality and its sentimentality so Lopez says buy and listen very carefully and closely to the lyrics of "Are You Alright?" by the great Lucinda Williams---the words ring true for all of us now "getting" older while thinking-back---lopez in his garden, lapses for a moment
