An irreverent jab at presidents past and present as they attend the  Memorial service for Ethel Kennedy in Washington  Having the most difficult job in the world and being able to gather together in respect for a monumental person seems fitting and possible in a democracy - unlike many other countries that battle for the right to lead their people  May our next president be able to align himself so closely to those who served before him with reverence and dignity  

Are you a writer

 Do you think with your fingers (tactile memory) muscle memory?  Ideas that should have faded away years ago find a place and a reason to persist today.  Why not?  Nothing has changed in seventy years or longer, it only becomes more accessible and easier to be delighted or disgusted with war, famine, natural disaster.  The list goes on as we fear the unknown more than the known, which may possess persistent dread depending on where you are planted.  Some people elsewhere are happy with their lives and look forward to walking in the market or meeting friends or family.  Just generally happiness.  Life goes on and someone will record our consequences for what they are worth, good, bad legitimate, or insane.

  Total destruction is not everywhere.  All measures of it surround the non-affected as well as the devastated.  Life is now a roulette wheel when it comes to survival.  Ante up and place all that you own on the table.  Winners keep no more than they had.  Loosers deposit all their possessions into trash piles. 

Do the rich pray?

Image
      All our thoughts are the future, a prayer  to the god of our choice  Reality is born from this mental energy and personal history   Desire fuels rewards from acts that contribute to the wished for outcomes   Commerce is the child of financial devotion which enables others to live within the realm of belief in the system that created it.   There is no god when only one makes the rules that benefit the One   His foresight is a gift shared but will be adjusted by the real rules that govern us all,  whether they are financial, moral or ethical   The greater good is a consensus, not a individual decision except in war time which in the end benefits no one, rich or poor   Historic example    One of many

Is life a romantic comedy not unlike ground hog day, or a B rated movie you watched at a drive-in theater in a car that may not start?  Don’t forget the refreshment stand should your state allow feeling good. The movie will get better and the salt and sugar will taste good. Be a kid again and  enjoy the cartoon while  paying for nothing, yet.

No one did - another assassination attempt and heads will roll   Drone surveillance of the area would have alerted security long before the shooter could have been seen from the ground  This is most likely a drone shot after the fact provided by almost anyone Source:   https://ca.news.yahoo.com/    BuzzFeed Graphic:  internet artist

Profile of a sniper

Just in case you don't go ape-s this is just for fun.  I enjoy shooting myself. My first gun was a Rugger target pistol purchased in the sixties while in Biloxi Miss.  All my others are BB guns.  I never owned a gun when I had a family of kids in the house - just a personal preference. The sniper wore beads on his left wrist.  He isn't gay, just fun loving.                         The demonic tattoo is in keeping with the current body art craze. He is a better shot than the assassin.  Do what you believe in and throw away your life?  Always use the best available hardware which is not found on Amazon.  Lazer sites are a must for long shots especially when paid for by the federal gov.  It's OK I love my country.  The politics that guides us is a bit of joke, but of necessity. One third of presidents/presidential hopefuls, have had assassination attempts.  So your not special Mr. T.  Glad you're OK.  You are OK aren't you?   Photo credit, I don't know.  I did not

Silent movie music

 I can play the piano and once won an award in an Air Force talent contest in Europe (1967)    If you play an instrument and are inclined to hear a tune but don't have the technical skills to play it, software today will play it for you   Here is an example of Muse Score  and the Blogger link above is how I used it.  Many thanks to my my brother John for finding the appropriate silent movie to blend with the song "Playful" Music   Chuck Mistretta Video   Dr. John Mistretta

A Spoils System In The Federal Government

Image
   November 2017.  Oliver Contreras-Pool/Getty Images)   Edited by blogger " If elected to serve a second term,   Donald Trump   says he supports a plan that would give him the authority to fire as many as 50,000 civil servants and replace them with members of his political party loyal to him. Under this plan, if he eventually deemed those new employees disloyal, he claims he could fire them too." "The United States has tried such a plan before." "As we write in our book “ How Government Built America ,” newly elected President  Andrew Jackson , after he took office in 1828, fired about half the country’s civil servants and replaced them with loyal members of his political party." "The result was not only an utterly incompetent administration, but widespread corruption." Source:  theconversation.com
