BTW, if you are any type of a Twain fan, read this book! Fan-freakin-tastic!
Michael Shelden's biography of Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) has prompted me to stop and think--as I used to think any normal human being would know.
I began another comment at MOTUS, and it has just blossomed.
Let me share it with you here, for the full effect--and I remind you that I am inspired soooo by Mr. Twain, since I first began to read his works at the age of 6, some 58 years ago.
*********
If ever a US citizen's life could ever be a VOO-DOO doll, it's right now.
I am never going to call myself an American--ever!
This man should be banned from eating anything in public, he is soooo GROSS!
Why, you might ask?
Well, partially, because the above character in this play REPULSES me, OK? Good enough for you?
But mostly, because Mexico, though the Mexicans hate being called 'Norte Americanos', but if you take a look at geography, Mexico is part of America, North America. I, being born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and not anywhere near Mexican in spirit or nationality, consider myself a citizen of the UNITED STATES...and I am durned proud of that!
Why aren't Mexicans as proud? Because they are stilted in their ideals, and their cause, as of late, has become to be 'victims', rather than to be proud Mexicans. Oh, BTW, their country is abso-freakin-lutely BAT GUANO to live in, but they all sends BILLIONs of US Dollars back to their 'chicas' every year. Isn't that nice?
America is a CONTINENT...nations are nations. I am very proud to be a citizen of the United States, butt...WHY couldn't I also be, because I was born on this continent, a citizen of Canada, or Mexico?
Preposterous, you may say.
Butt...have you studied enough of Mark Twain, our beloved American author, to state that, truly?
That, my friends, is what Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate, which we have all seen via http://www.factcheck.org/ says: his apparent father, Barack Senior, was 'African'.
Now...Twain and anyone with half a breath can tell you Africa is a CONTINENT, not a nation.
His supposed father was an overly-politically and sexually-active KENYAN, apparently.
Good news!
KENYA IS NOT ALL OF AFRICA!
And any other person in their right mind, who has any knowledge of bones would tell you
Senior is not related to Junior--in any way.
Even any good/bad kid on the street could tell you: "He don' be lookin' like a brothah, an' he don' be talkin' like a brothah. A brothah be 'heppin', an' dis boy don' know how ta 'hep' nobody but hissef."
I have heard this type of talk, too often, on the Chicago buses and trains over the past two years.
Butt, because liberal thinkers with very little 'brain power' have controlled our government for so long...they have taught us, slowly, to think of ourselves as 'Americans', and we are not!
We are simply, quite simply...CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Let us not be confused!

Another comment...
...which I shall expand upon, whether you like it or not.
Friday, October 22, 2010
I started with a comment...
...at MOTUS.
So, why not give you few who may read here the whole thing, huh?
By the way, he has an UGLY way of eating!
Just have a question here, on a bust day for all of us...
Just WHEN is Barky going to BOW to all of us, the American people, AND apologize to us for all of his (stupid) actions?
Geez...do I really have to wait till hell freezes over, or will he 'do himself in', totally, with junk food first?
The whole "don't tell Michelle" is very stupid, on his part. Though SHE, the BUTT of the WON, lives in a so-called 'news-free' zone, don't you think the biyotch has her ways of finding out--like probably the girls surfing the net?
His (and her) time of reckoning is coming...and it is not simply about Novemeber 2nd.
You cannot lie your way through life and not expect some pretty heavy-duty 'kicks'--from someone talking somewhere about you.
His history: he has reputedly spent millions to hide it. What would it contain to require that much money and that much effort? HMMMM?
By the very 'feature of doubt', SANE people would have questioned and vetted, him BEFORE the 2008 election. Wouldn't they have, well...wouldn't they have?
The fact that this inexperienced, do-nothing, 'PRESENT-voting', LAZY Senator could achieve the highest office in the land REMAINS anathema to me!
I thought I was born an American. According to law, I was.
Now that I am 64, and disabled, I am being treated by many as if I do not belong here.
As many of you know, I still occasionally create some really nice Photoshops (TM). I also continue to do photography, and occasionally paint (when my arms and hands want to work properly and not cramp up).
Am I a lesser human being than the MOO? Because I do not wear 'designer clothes and $400+ boots' to do the garden harvest?
Well, kiddos, I know a few things.
I used to be almost as tall as she is. I was 5'10". At 64+, I have shrunk to 5'7", due to some pretty heavy back injuries along the way--and just simply aging.
Am I less than she is?
Back in my 20s, I wore false eyelashes, and lined my eyes like Twiggy.
Am I less than she is?
I have pretty much always worn conservative clothing, except for the almost see-through red-sequined top I bought for $125 in 1982 (in my 30s!), and wore to the first performance of a ballet (Giselle) I had painted which was designed by my new-then friend Oliver Smith. You might Google him, and find he was the 'grand-dad' of all Broadway designers, and the designer for American Ballet Theatre.
One stickler there: I am dressed to the 9s, with the see-through red-sequined top, and I had to go backstage to spray paint (black) a door handle the Tech Director forgot to attach!
As I ran back underground after doing that, I could hear tremendous applause from the house. The audience was applauding Oliver Smith's scenery--painted by ME, and two of my crew! What a thrill it was!
What has MOO ever done that can even compare to being asked, seriously, by Oliver Smith--a great friend and confidante of Jackie O's, BTW--to please come to New York and paint his shows, because he felt I had understood his small watercolor renderings enough to reproduce them...for the rest of his life(died 1993) or my life (still alive, here in Chicago, in 2010).
I turned him down, though he could have gotten me into the Scenic Artists Union in New York.
Why?
Because my mother had just died from ALS, and my dear Dad had a stroke 5 weeks later, and I was just trying still, that following year, to take care of Dad, and work enough to make a living, and found I could not leave my father, who gave me life!
Noble, you might say?
Yeah, I suppose I was, but Dad ended up in a nursing home not six years later. I swore to him in 1982 he would NEVER have to go to one of those ugly places, but because of his mental 'turnaround', I was forced to place him there.
Meanwhile, I was perfecting my videography/writing/directing skills, while also dealing with phone calls from this respected nursing home regarding 'injuries' Dad had sustained while trying to escape.
I'll tell you this, and I'll tell it straight...it is TRULY difficult to remain 'creative' while watching your own parent, whom you love and respect, TOTALLY LOSE IT, right before your eyes!
Over a short amount of time, he no longer knew I was his only daughter, his "best son", as he put it to me in the summer of 1989.
When he passed on June 7, 1994, I thought I was done with death for awhile.
Until November 28, 1996.
That's the day I lost my golden-haired child...just 14 days before his 27th birthday.
So many others have been lost since that day, I seem to be almost immune to death these days. BUT...there are great times I remember, and then, the tears still flow.
They say we all have our crosses to bear...and I'll tell you all: it's not easy, when you have lost most everyone who ever meant anything to you, including your own children.
*********
I find the world of today very harsh--and cruel--to those of us who have survived so much.
There are so many military parents more bereaved and unsettled than I could ever be, or even think of.
My older son was military, Navy, and won awards for heroism...and is gone to me.
Even THAT is not enough to make an impression upon our leaders to halt the thoughts of WAR with any other nation.
As I listen to the 20-somethings next door, and their laughter at some insipid TV program or movie, I take a puff on my 'little' cigar, sit back, and understand that they, in their avoidance of reality, will one day have to confront it--head-on. And because they have not befriended someone like me (who KNOWS), they'll have to face it without even the minimum of understanding.
I am not saying here that I am the end-all-be-all of understanding everything regarding the world in which we now live. What I do say is, I've been around awhile, and have continuously observed and watched, as this world of ours grows older, but refused, as did Barrie's Peter Pan, to grow up.
However, I DID, HAD TO. And along with growing "UP", I had to grow older.
And don't we observe that Peter-Panism in our current President--don't we? This is the boy, Barry Obama Soetoro etc. whatever, who has never quite grown up, and somehow thinks he can never grow older--that because HE deems it so, everything will ALWAYS BE THE SAME--the status quo as he perceives it.
Now his wife(y) and close friends (few) may be totally enchanted by that, sycophants that they may be.
I, however, am not, and never will be enchanted by a former community organizer, who is backed by New World billionaires, without any executive experience of ANY nature, to be elected POTUS.
In my own variety of English, his performance as POTUS sucks!
And...he seems bored with the position, doesn't he?
Tell me, in all truth, what has he done to make your life as a citizen of the these United States BETTER in the last 21 months?
I will appreciate and answer all e-mails having to do solely with this topic a RPFreeSpeech@gmail.com

Browsing, just browsing...Pumpkins!
I decided to check out http://www.rp1000.blogspot.com/ earlier today, and found Bill Morton, still-untalented President of Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce, posted these 'EXCITING' videos of the Rogers Park Pumpkin Patch at 7313-15 N. Sheridan Road.
I've only posted the still shots, because I really don't want bore you quite as much as, apparently, Bill Morton does. I might add that these are 1980s-quality student films, which I really saw enough of back at UW-Milwaukee in the late 70s/early 80s.
These "VIDEOS" (now known as 'moving pictures', BILL) are nothing more than lockdown shots. The first goes on for a minute and 52 seconds...which I thought was interminable.
The next is of course, another static shot. Bill Morton puts his camera on a tripod, sets it to roll, and walks away. But this one goes on and on for 11 minutes and 54 seconds. There is chatter in the background, but Aaron, the seller of pumpkins, is neither identified nor allowed to speak.
What a 'nice' way, Bill Morton, to promote a long-standing Rogers Park seasonal business!
And just when I anticipated Bill Morton's COMEBACK as a promoter of business in Rogers Park,...LO, and BEHOLD!
A 14 minute and 37 second lockdown shot, but with a VARIATION...a shadow of his camera and tripod, then...NO shadow of camera and tripod. BRILLIANT, Bill Morton!
Shadow of Tripod
No shadow of Tripod
That crap being over, because Bill Morton, President of Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce, and owner of Bill Morton Promotions still has NO idea what it takes to be a professional photographer, videographer--or professional anything! The long lockdown shots emphasize just how LAZY this man is, and how he PREFERS others to do his work for him. I am not speaking of 'delegation' of duties right now--I am saying that Bill Morton will SHIRK hard, possibly boring (to him) work as much as he possibly can (and many of his NOW-former clients will agree). I know it, because I have experienced this exact thing with him.
That being said, let me re-introduce you to Aaron, this year's proprietor of the Rogers Park Pumpkin Patch.
It's sometimes a lonely 12 hours a day at the Patch, but Aaron makes the best of it...by being creative! He carved this...
...and these...
...and set up this great display!
He also has Indian corn, corn stalk bunches ($8), and an awful lot of gourds and mini-mini pumpkins!
I no longer shoot video: I worked many years as a videographer, and do not like the 'comedown' in quality I get from my $500 Nikon--because I used to shoot video on $20-25,000 cameras on BETA SP and Digital, and my Nikon just does not have that type of quality-- so my shots are 'stills', the equivalent if Bill Morton's 'static captures' of video.
I suppose I could set up a poll here re: which of us has best-promoted Aaron and the Pumpkin Patch--not worth my time, is it?
Before Aaron leaves, I will give him printouts of each blog I have posted about his time selling at the Rogers Park Pumpkin Patch.
This post of his, especially, shows the lazy, lackluster attitude of Bill Morton, FAUX-president of the FAUX Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce.
What a gross disappointment you became, Bill Morton!

Just wondering...
...why Bill Morton, LEGEND and President of Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce, has done NOTHING to promote the seasonal business at 7313-15 N. Sheridan Road, here in Rogers Park?
Aaron, the new Pumpkin Seller
Pumpkin Lot, 7313-15 N. Sheridan Road, Rogers Park, Chicago, 60626
Bill Morton owes me a personal debt of $1,425, and Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce welched on their PARTIAL $500 payment which was due on 30JUN2010. They still owe me, for my seed monies (for incorporation, establishment of a bank account, membership in the US Chamber of Commerce, etc.), over $1,030!
And Bill Morton had the balls to place this piece of crap on my doorknob...
...and has not even tried to contact me in 11 months re: some sort of payback re: the personal loan or from the Chamber account.
Well...I've given up on wondering about Bill Morton, and his so-called friends, like Kris Luck of Quest Network Services. They all seem to be a self-entitled bunch of thirty-somethings...and all voted for Obama.
I wonder if they understand their GINORMOUS mistake?
I wonder what their feelings are now?
THIS, I must say, was NOT the lackluster chamber I chose to seed. And as far as my thoughts upon the Bee-shop, a mere board member but definite CRONY of Bill Morton...he's phony as all crap and simply has a fetish for dressing up as a priest!
UGLY people...and I am so regretting I ever got involved with any and ALL of them!

Pumpkin Stuff
So, okay...you're getting ready to carve your Hallowe'en pumpkin.
And you clear out the pumpkin 'guts'...and throw them away, right?
Hey...got any idea of what you're missing by doing that?
I have just been enjoying some roasted pumpkin seeds, and I'd like to share with you how to do it.
Buy a pumpkin. So simple, right?
Preferably, buy a smaller, SUGAR pumpkin.
In my neighborhood here in Chicago, as a matter of fact...right outside my window...there's a pumpkin lot, which used to be run by GEORGE, but now is run by AARON.
I purchased two small pumpkins from Aaron. One I turned into a PRINCESS PUMPKIN, for a friend's 4 year-old daughter, Madi.
Oh, and right, I spent some time making Madi's little gift into a PRINCESS PUMPKIN, because Madi likes to be a princess on Hallowe'en.
The other pumpkin, I baked, by cutting it in half, scooping the 'seeds'n'guts' into a bowl, placing the halves into a cookie sheet filled with water, and baking for about an hour (+-) at 375 degrees.
Baked pumpkin is like baked squash--a nice side dish for chicken and asparagus.
Butt, about the 'seeds'n'guts'--and I wonder if the MOST POWERFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD (Michelle Obama) even thought of this:
Scoop out the seeds and excess pumpkin 'pulp'.
Spread them in a buttered (I used Land O' Lakes Butter with Olive Oil) cookie sheet like this.
I added a generous sprinkling of ALLSPICE, mixed everything, and placed it in a 275 degree oven for about an hour and a half.
I then had this:
A great snack, which if you make a lot of, I would say: refrigerate it, OK? The butter?
Ah, Autumn. I love it so!

QOTD
Oscar Wilde"This wallpaper is killing me; one of us has got to go."
Apparently, these were Wilde's last words.
Will someone tell Barky, please, that the wallpaper choice just might be his demise?
Oh, I forgot--Rahm is gone, so I guess it's up to Valerie?
