cruel realities coinciding with having boots on the ground

Man! Dude! Session #313

(M)an: Dude! The American Press Corps is feigning negligence because of its unethical

attempts to bias US readers towards casting ballots for the Republican Party in this fall’s midterm elections. Our homeland press is falsely reporting the Democratic Party as being in peril when the fact is the Democratic National Committee has outraised the Republican National Committee thus far.

(D)ude: Man! Obviously wanting to influence American voters towards a preference for the Republican Party, the American Press Corps has transformed into a pulp fiction conglomerate organization. But the Republican Party and the American Press Corps have been in alignment with each other politically long before Quentin Tarantino. Yeah, Quentin Tarantino’s 51, born in 1963, after the 1950-1955 epoch that beckoned the term that he singlehandedly redefined for the ages.

M: Dude! The American Press Corps and the Republican Party leadership deserve a John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson writhing. Yeah. A Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega lecturing is just what the American Press and GOP deserve right now. But there’s a way forward far more sophisticated and effective, and the only way forward, is for us to register to vote and report to our designated polling places on or before Election Day Tuesday November 4, 2014 and cast our ballots for the Democratic Ticket.     

D: Man! Yeah. And Senator Harry Reid of Nevada can seek redemption for his recent cultural slights to the Asian Chamber of Commerce by reinstituting the national political career aspirations of his brilliant former regional representative, and now Nevadan State Senator Ruben Kihuen. State Senator Ruben Kihuen’s birthplace being Mexico disadvantaged him in the eyes of his peers and colleagues.

M: Dude! I agree. Just because he’s ineligible for the United States Presidency doesn’t mean that Nevadan State Senator Ruben Kihuen should be sidelined from the United States Congress. I’d choose Ruben Kihuen as Senator Reid’s reinstatement either way, if Nevadan Democrats choose to have Reid on the ticket or not. It is the responsibility of Harry Reid to oversee the rise of such a bright star as Ruben Kihuen.

D: Man! If Harry Reid can right the terribly wrong recommendation of his that Ruben Kihuen not run for the United States House of Representatives before, not only will Kihuen regain his strength to soar, Reid will be forgiven or at least a step in the right direction of actively seeking clemency on all levels for his cultural insensitivity and outright disrespect.

M: Dude! Have you been following the news out of Pakistan? No? There are three characters out of there uncannily like Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and a compound composite of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

D: Man! Really? Pakistan? Who is the equivalent to Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and that compound composite of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden?

M: Dude! Who is whose equivalent?

D: Man! I don’t know. Oh! Okay! I get it. Go on. Elaborate, please. Who’s whose equivalent?

M: Dude! Mitt Romney is Asif Zardari, the current co-chair of the Pakistan People’s Party. Paul Ryan is Imran Khan, the former cricketer turned philanthropist turned the chair of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf or quote unquote Movement for Justice.   

D: Man! How so?

M: Dude! Like Mitt Romney’s incessant desire and multiple attempts for the United States Presidency, Asif Zardari is returning to power in Pakistani politics as we speak. Mitt Romney is the face of a physical revolt dressed as a traditionalist revolution of ideas and concepts that many in his party have declared Christian in scope while paralleling their Democratic opponents as antagonists.   

D: Man! So the American Press Corps is trying to hide the hideousness on the inside over here, over there, and, basically everywhere on earth! Isn’t the American Press Corps allowing newsreels to come out of Pakistan declaring Zardari as wholesome and totally against the chaos and violence erupting on the streets of Islamabad right now?

M: Dude! The United States of America is not engaging boots on the ground for a very critical reason. Zardari befriends criminals and recruits male followers who carry out violent schemes that cheat and harass the electorate without ever identifying Zardari who they mistaken for a friend that has their best interests at heart. And the American Press Corps hasn’t ever questioned Benazir Bhutto’s status as a martyr right now on her website online despite having contrived her entire country and collaborated with George Herbert Walker Bush in the worst interests for the disenfranchised of Pakistan and all of South Asia.     

D: Man! And how is Imran Khan like Paul Ryan? Are they both just pretty facades behind which there resides zero shame and total scam?

M: Dude! Zardari’s People’s Party lost the elections recently. The Pakistan People’s Party and Zardari did not win respectably therefore now they are maneuvering disreputably subversively like the Mitt Romney. Likewise, Imran Khan’s Movement for Justice also lost the elections recently. Like Zardari, Khan was confident that his Tehreek-e-Insaf would win legitimately but it too lost. And, like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan pairing up and losing the election as presidential and vice presidential candidates for the Republican Party, Zardari and Khan are collaborating subversively now, just how the Republican Party refuses to acknowledge their cheating strategies like voter suppression tactics that they soft-pedal as campaigns against voter fraud.     

D: Man! And who is the compound composite equivalent to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden?

M: Dude! Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri is too subversively linked to Zardari as is Khan. The three want to oust Nawaz Sharif in the name of Islam and Democracy in Pakistan. Whereas Zardari’s got his spoils and son like Jeb Bush and George Prescott Bush, and Khan’s got his God Complex and two sons as well, Tahir-ul-Qadri is essentially an unknown misdirecting ambiguity like Assange and Snowden.    

Register, Then Vote... before vices become customary sins.

(D)ude: Man! My resume may exude creativity through elusions from poverty yet the Republican Party and American Press Corps are always detailing the latest IPOs or initial public offerings made supposedly through issuing prospectuses to ordinary everyday folks like us from a company that is private but wants to go public like, who was it the other day? What was the company receiving congratulatory commentary in the American Press last week?

(M)an: Dude! They’re actually two tech companies out of Boston, Mass that had that honor distinction in the newspapers this past Monday. Wayfair deals with e-commerce specifically directed around home furnishings while HubSpot is a marketing software design and implementation service that’s also online and incredibly user-friendly.      

D: Man! Exactly. Wayfair and HubSpot are the latest in the exclusive club of businesses that have ‘made it’ in that they can now transition from private company status to public company status. On the positive end, there is no obligation to pay back public investors and this allows for the now public company to grow by investing the capital it retrieved and has left over from its private investors into expanding the brand and business.    

M: Dude! The prospectus is only given to eligible buyers for the sake of giving them a warranty or conditions like an insurance policy essentially stating what kind of security is financially guaranteed with having bought shares in the company. Actually, potential buyers are solicited by an invite-only basis.

D: Man! Did you pick up on any interesting business tidbits from the Wayfair or HubSpot websites? I did, but am not certain which site it was on, the information about what type of era we live in regards to consumerism.  

M: Dude! It was on the HubSpot blog! We live in an era where consumers control the buy, not the sales teams.

D: Man! The only reason for me having a recollection about that what-era-are-we-in-related observation about business was the added fear of the Republican Party and the American Press Corps that the statement placed inside my vital organs. I’ve mixed Crystal Light mango and peach tea powder in the water pitcher over there and have been trying to finish at least two pitchers worth of liquids since downing at least two individual-sized soda bottles of diet and caffeine-free cola.     

M: Dude! Get me a glass! Your dispirited vulnerability is contagious and I think I’m coming under its influence myself. Wait! Let me get The Little Book of Chinese Proverbs compiled by Jonathan Clements for Barnes and Noble Books! I keep it next to the religious texts near the sofa over there. Hey! Why is your Bible on the carpet? Don’t you know how sacrilegious it is to not immediately retrieve scriptures that have fallen down?  

D: Man! It’s stacked on top of several journals and dictionaries, is it not? God! Was I  unholy? Tell the truth!

M: Dude! You’re not forsaken, yet. But be aware of that principle about respecting all scriptures. Goodness! If people would just remember to never hurl or drop scriptural books, the world would be so hallowed as to become safeguarded from the customary sins so accepted these days.     

D: Man! What customary sins are there? Becoming a member inside the Republican Party and/or American Press Corps? Makes sense because aren’t there two departments of sins in Catholicism, the venial and the mortal?

M: Dude! I believe becoming a member inside the Republican Party and/or American Press Corps are still vices in the United States of America. If we register right now to vote and then vote for the Democratic Ticket on or before Election Tuesday November 4, 2014, we will still have time to keep associations with these neoconservative entities away from corrupting the United States Government into a complete totalitarian wreckage that the Republican Party and American Press Corps are planning to impose upon US.   

D: Man! What are you reading as you speak? Which Chinese Proverb has compelled you to jump up and down with what I render from my point of view as a profound revelation.  

M: Dude! This quote’s a very relevant revelation about what’s happening with the European Union regarding its alliances favoring Ukraine amidst sanctions and sentiments against Russia. This quote’s food for thought, very hallal in fact, for Saudi Royals, King Abdullah’s statement about the urgency for DC and NATO to become involved in full-scale traditional military engagements now that the religious extremists have seized considerably portions of Syria and Iraq, although Saudi Arabia admits that it did provide weapons to the oppositional forces in Syria in the same time frame the Clintons have said they would have armed rebels too if they were the President of the United States then. Hence, the great big mess that has ensued that is ISIS and ISIL in that region presently due to Saudi Arabia’s miscalculated arms aide to the volatile rebels.

D: Man! Let me see. The mercenary Fan Li warns Wen Zhong to get out while he can, Spring and Autumn Period, 770-476 BC.

M: Dude! Hand it over. It reads as follows, “When the birds are dead, the bow is put away. When the rabbit is dead, the hunting-dog is next on the menu. When the enemy is defeated, the allies should look to themselves.” 

Michael Jackson's "Black Or White"

(M)an: Dude! Republicans are such relentless nil-wits.

(D)ude: Man! What was that? Nil-wits? Yeah, makes overwhelming sense to term the United States Republican Party nil-wits but just don’t forget the nil-wits that parade about as the United States Press Corps.  

M: Dude! Seriously, the Republican Party and the American Press Corps do not qualify as half-wits or dim-wits due to there not being anything substantial upstairs to begin with.

D: Man! Could you do me a favor? There’s a package that was delivered minutes ago that’s awaiting pick-up in the apartment manager’s office. Could you please go and check it out? I’m timing the casserole that’s been baking for quite some time. Thanks.

M: Dude! You never check the mail and that casserole is the latest in your attempts to incorporate vegetables into at least one meal per day. The package is sitting by the front door. It’s incredibly light for its width and height, however. What did you order?

D: Man! There’s a startup out of Boring, Sullivan County, Tennessee that specializes in facial tissues embossed with the faces of the Republican Party nil-wit leadership.

M: Dude! I’d like to blow my nose on Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham in addition to wiping them off and out. I specifically ordered the Republican visages sitting on the Armed Services Committees in the United States Congress, of which McCain and Graham are members.

D: Man! Aren’t New Hampshire’s Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte and Texas’s Republican Senator Ted Cruz on the Armed Services Committee in the United States Senate?    

M: Dude! I had ordered extra boxes of facial tissues embossed with Ayotte, Cruz, Graham, and McCain’s visages.

D: Man! How could you forget that ruinous triumvirate sitting on the Committee on the Budget in the United States House of Representatives?

M: Dude! House Committee on the Budget triumvirate nil-wits as in Republican Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan, Republican Tennessee Representative Marsha Blackburn, and Republican Oklahoma Representative Tom Cole?

D: Man! Yeah? Wait! How did you know I am averse to House aversions Paul Ryan and Marsha Blackburn and Tom Cole?

M: Dude! What better catalysts of snotty snootiness then representatives Paul Ryan, Marsha Blackburn, Tom Cole, Kelly Ayotte, Ted Cruz, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham.

D: Man! Hey! The name of the facial tissues is Hauteur Couture! I wonder what the company name could be? Look! It’s the same! Are facial tissues their only product specialty?

M: Dude! I think so. There are excrement bags for canines as well that are reportedly durable enough not to inconvenience pet owners by crimping or collapsing.

D: Man! Remember John McCain’s uninformed revelation to Chris Wallace on Sunday, August 24, 2014 about how he and Lindsey Graham plan to repeal the sequestration on defense spending specifically when the United States Congress returns from its five-week break?  

M: Dude! How can anybody not hold these Republican Party nil-wits accountable for what they disclose? John McCain and Lindsey Graham plan to only repeal the current and crippling sequestration on defense spending only if the current President of the United States  regresses to the rules of warfare that dominated all presidential administrations before his! And I’m speaking of the Obama Administration’s educated calculations and cultural acuity.

D: Man! Concerning Ukraine and Russia, Syria and Iraq, Israel and Palestine, I think Republican and American Press Corps controvert think tanks place outsider agitators inside these ordeals that the Republican and American Press Corps controverts ignite and conflagrate in opposition to the Obama Administration’s efforts to upgrade the primordial approaches of presidents past. With globalization, you’ve got to meet all members of Humanity with fairness and truth. There’s a lot of commonality in tactics that the Republican/Press controverts inflicted upon Ferguson, Missouri that they are utilizing to spread afflictions across all continents.

M: Dude! Register, then vote for the Democratic Ticket in the midterm elections!

D: Man! Do you ever get the feeling that the Klu Klutz Klan and the Koch Klutz Klan is the Hamas and the ISIL of the United States? That the Klu and the Koch folks are committing the same sins as Hamas and ISIL and, like Hamas and ISIL do not practice Islam but are a serial killing mob, the Klu and Koch folks do not practice Christianity but are annihilating Klans? 

I Think You Know. Register, Then Vote.

Man! Dude! Session #310

(D)ude: Man! If American voters do not register now and then vote on or before Election Day Tuesday November 4, 2014, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland will be the only cultural discourse left depicting the hookah intelligently. The closest likeness to the hookah—in the world George Walker Bush and his bootlicking United States Press Corps and equivalently artificial Republican Party will have regained power due to the dismal voter turnout during the 2014 Midterm Elections in the United States of America—will be the French, Italian, and Swiss dish called fondue. Of course, the Republican AmBushEd United States Press Corps will have obliterated Europe as well with backing from Tony Blair and Bill Clinton’s facades.        

(M)an: Dude! If the American voters do not register to vote now and then turn out to cast their ballots for the Democratic Ticket on or before Election Day Tuesday November 4, 2014, only then will the Tony Blair and Bill Clinton’s facades or foundations or however you want to name their bragging tax breaks, only then will the Republican Party prevail in its destruction of our nation and the world.

D: Man! As Grace Slick sang those lyrics in that Jefferson Airplane song, “Go ask Alice. I think she’ll know. When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead: And the White Knight is talking backwards, and the Red Queen’s ‘off with her head!’ Remember what the dormouse said… Feed your head. Feed your head. The Republican Party is backwards and the United States Press Corps is slanted towards these far right neoconservatives and that musical tune really clicks with the Klu Klutz Klan and the Koch Klutz Klan and their mob of gerrymandered liars and thieves like Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan and Ohio Representative John Boehner.     

M: Dude! How are hookahs and fondue relatable?

D: Man! How are the Republican Party and the Klu and/or Koch Klutz Klan not inseparable?

M: Dude! You go first?

D: Man! Okay. Hookahs can be single, double, triple, quadruple hosed, meaning that upwards of four folks at a time can smoke from the apparatus. Likewise, the fondue is often served in a communal pot that is available to an entire entourage of diners. However, there are social etiquettes concerning the hookah and fondue. Concerning the hookah, you should not point the mouthpiece towards the person on the receiving end of the apparatus and, concerning fondue, you should not spoil the fondue by submerging your bread piece a second and definitely not a third time after having taken a first bite. Instead, take a utensil and spread some of the fondue onto the piece of bread that is remaining and too dry to consume otherwise.     

M: Dude! The Republican Party and United States Press Corps have the same exact way of punishing intellectuals who choose to question or offer intriguing perspectives. In the Republican Party and the United States Press Corps, dullards rule the day in front of national and international audiences. People talk about censorship, but what about the infestation of dunce whiteheads ruling our lines of communication geopolitically? I am consumed by the intellectual threat that the Republican Party and the United States Press Corps are designing and imposing upon our children through corrupting the World Wide Web with witless wastes like Sarah Palin given subscription-based Internet channels. There ought to be a parental control mechanism with which to block such blockheads from ever reaching your child’s mind’s eye.              

D: Man! You know, speaking of Sarah Palin, Senator John McCain continued his weekend retching on the latest episode of Faux News Sunday with Chris Wallace,

“Well, we don't want to have the war won as it was in Iraq and then lose it by not leaving a residual force. And the same thing will happen in Afghanistan if we don't have condition-based presence. And that doesn't mean as General Keane said, these are support troops. Although there will be some Americans in danger, particularly our Special Forces people.

But look at the alternative. And that's what has to be explained to the American people. And I believe the American people will follow. But even I have to be convinced that there is an overall comprehensive strategy which -- and by the way, Lindsey Graham and I will make repeal of defense sequestration as our first goal, hopefully in September.”    

M: Dude! I had no idea that the United States won the Iraq War, as Senator John McCain relayed to Chris Wallace on August 24, 2014. And I definitely had no idea how blisteringly sacrificial McCain could be, that he would rather have had the alternative of endangering our Special Forces people in direct combat in a warzone as volatile as Iraq today. But what I find most perplexing is the fact that Senator McCain does not have the time to search the term “Special Forces” on Google and then read the Wikipedia articles that clarify too obviously that what President Obama’s Administration is already carrying out in Iraq is engaging Special Operations Forces as we speak.   

D: Man! According to one Wikipedia article, Special Operations Forces, or Special Forces as they are termed presently, are military units trained to perform unconventional missions specializing in the following sample of expertise—airborne operations, counter-insurgency, "counter-terrorism" , covert ops, direct action, hostage rescue, high-value targets or man-hunting, intelligence operations, mobility operations, and unconventional warfare.   

M: Dude! If we don’t register to vote and then vote on or before Election Day Tuesday November 4, 2014, we’re going to be forced to accept the Republican Party’s outdated schemes, which also involved the American Press Corps interfering with the rescue mission that failed to retrieve James Foley and his colleagues.

Stand Up To Adversities. Register, Then Vote.

(M)an: Dude! The Republican Party may have bought the American Press, the Supreme Court of the United States, and gerrymandered themselves to majority party in the House of Representatives but it cannot buy the American Midterm Election results. However, if Americans do not register to vote and then vote for the Democratic Ticket on or before Election Day Tuesday November 4, 2014, the United States of America will have lost its chance to flourish forward as an evolving democracy because of the financial restrictions  placed upon the Executive Branch and the subsequent chaos that the Republican Party wants to inflict upon the American people through orchestrating unimaginable campaigns of bigotry and intolerance.        

(D)ude: Man! Isn’t the Republican Party already financing bigotry and intolerance across the nation and the globe because of the lack of transparency and accountability since the Supreme Court essentially declared instituting campaign finance reform and the implementation of voting rights as superfluous?    

M: Dude! Americans must grasp that the Congressional Republicans are taking US down the same road of destruction and corruption as Pakistan’s Bhutto-Zardari and India’s BJP-Modi. In fact, the Congressional Republicans have molded their tactics of cheating and defrauding from these fomenters and, if the Republican Party wins the midterm election this fall, it and the American Press will declare yet another quote unquote revolution as they did in the 2010 midterms with the racialist Republican Tea GOP. And the American voter needs to understand that when the Republican Party chose to take in the Tea GOP they became afflicted with the same characteristics of that snake the Tea Party chooses to identify with in its motto Don’t Tread On Us!         

D: Man! The only people the Republican Party is concerned for are the taxpayers and the Klu or Koch Klutz Klan. White Americans like us need to wake up to the reality of our fate, that the Republican Party is against our best interests. Rather, the Republican Tea GOP is only in it to loot the United States Treasury, violate the United States Constitution, and bring to the floor of the House and Senate pointless degenerate digressions.    

M: Dude! Yes, you are right. The United States Constitution states, each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and with the Concurrence of two thirds expel a Member. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul’s blustering filibustering logorrhea on September 24, 2013 was termed a marathon by Politico admiringly while Ted Cruz was extolled by CNN with the headliner Anatomy of a very long speech: How Ted Cruz did it.

D: Man! CNN is so tender with the Republican Party that its anchors could evaluate Ted Cruz’s ordure with the headline Anatomy of a very long evacuation: How Ted Cruz did it.  

M: Dude! Yes, you are absolutely onto something here. The United States Constitution also states, The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses. John McCain and Lindsey Graham and the entire slew of them have most certainly breached the peace at home and abroad to the point of treason and felony, the lack of campaign finance reform allowing the moronic Congressional Republicans and their terribly shrewd oligarchs to transfer monies to political crooks like Bhutto-Zardari and BJP-Modi who finance destruction in their own countries because the disenfranchised choose not to vote in the election cycles because of blackmail and harassment.     

D: Man! The Republican Party has blackmailed and harassed President Bill Clinton about his extramarital misconduct to the point that he cannot even make public appearances in support of the Democratic Ticket without an apparent unease. That’s why the Democratic Ticket will have to reassess its internal policies towards swindlers in the organization. The American Press jumps to tear apart the character of the Democrats while covering up the baseness of the Republicans. The only reason Karl Rove fluted deliberately miscalculated statistics and numerous additional social offenses—we have two narratives here. One narrative emerging from the black community that the police killed a young black man who was approaching with his arms up, saying don't shoot. We have a second narrative which is we have a young - a violent young black man who assaulted a police officer and the police officer felt threatened. We won't know until the justice system works its way through which narrative is correct… Instead, it sounded like he [Eric Holder] was putting his thumb on the scale saying, this young black man did not deserve to die, and we're going to get this cop—on Faux News Sunday with Chris Wallace was because of his political party’s failure to link the current President with any double-dealings or wrongdoings.      

M: Dude! Hence the Republican Party’s newfound accusations that President Obama is detached from and lacking competence in comparison with his advisors who are running the country on their own. As Karl Rove roved to Wallace, Well, look, we also had secretary of State Kerry who said the object is to crush ISIS. So, a lot of the president's advisers sound much more robust than the president had thus far. You know, it's hard to read how this administration makes foreign policy decisions. You would expect most of the time that statements like that from Hagel, the chairman of the joint chiefs, the secretary of state, the deputy national security adviser, would be representative of the thinking of the president. I'm not certain that's the case here.            

D: Man! Yeah, nowadays Karl Rove may be questioning the professional competency and chief integrity of President Obama. But where was Karl Rove when George Walker Bush and Dick Cheney were designing the elaborate plan to lie about Weapons of Mass Destruction in order to invade Iraq and plunder its oil infrastructure?

M: Dude! When the George Walker Bush White House was putting its entire hand on the scale to misadjust the Middle East and its surrounds, where was the American Press then?

D: Man! The American Press was exactly where it is today!

The Mandatory Minimum Memory Lapses for the United States Press Corps & Republican Party

(D)ude: Man! Where are you? I’ve got some information to feed into a surround and sound system before I forget it myself.

(M)an: Dude! I’m right here! Look! Hello!

D: Man! This stuff is critical! Remember it! Jeff Bridges married in 1977 and he and his wife of since have parented three daughters one of whom just recently delivered a healthy daughter named Grace.

M: Dude! Okay. Anything else? I’m guessing this information is critical for the only reason that Jeff Bridges is entering into the political sphere. Do I have that correct?

D: Man! Jeff Bridges has a brother ten years his senior named Beau who married and had two children and then divorced to remarry a second time and sire four additional children for a grand total of six children altogether.

M: Dude! Okay? How is this relevant or pertain to Jeff Bridges and his newfound pastime politics?

D: Man! Hear me out! Jeff Bridges and his brother are the sons of an actor as well. They both starred opposite Michelle Pfeiffer in The Fabulous Baker Boys. Their father married his high school sweetheart but died in 1986 in his nineties but she survived and is going steady with the memories of yesteryears.  

M: Dude! Hold on! Wait! Jeff Bridges’ father was in his nineties when he passed away in 1986? Then his high school sweetheart would be nearing the impossible of having survived past one hundred and twenty years! Are you sure you haven’t mistaken the details from the Holy Book with trivia concerning Jeff Bridges’ life?

D: Man! Seriously? You may be onto something here! I guess the information I am feeding into the system is erred beyond repair? Are you sure you cannot process corrections later at a time convenient for you?

M: Dude! Now you want be to process corrections on my own? Why would I want to consume any amount of time on attaining trivia about Jeff Bridges?

D: Man! He’s a good man. He’s got the same wife since 1977 and they have three daughters and a newly arrived granddaughter these days.

M: Dude! Are you employed inside the American Press Corps?  

D: Man! I may be. I am suffering the mandatory minimum lapses in memory and judgment needed for membership inside the United States Press Corps, aren’t I? Do you know whether I have ever mentioned colleagues named Chris Cuomo and Jake Tapper? I think I’ve got a pair of unnumbered eyeglasses to prove my lacking of wholesome goodness since taking some charge in the United States Press Corps.  

M: Dude! Perhaps. It is not unlikely. The lapses have spread onto Kevin Spacey as well. He attended the Primetime Emmys with, like Cuomo and Tapper, another ABC to CNN transfer named Ashleigh Banfield. The American Press Corps is so elemental that one cannot protect oneself from its elements of inadequacy, no matter how many seasons you’ve completed as the radiant symmetric Francis Underwood in Netflix’s House of Cards to Robin Wright’s coordinately intense Claire Underwood.   

D: Man! Did you know the word integrity runs off the pages of dictionaries whenever Texas Governor Rick Perry call it out by name?

M: Dude! It’s a recorded phenomenon now that Rick Perry’s got an official mug shot since being indicted on two felony accounts. Did you know that Republican strategist

Steve Schmidt elicits a similar response from the word brainpower?

D: Man! No wonder Steve Schmidt’s on Rick Perry’s criminal defense team. I think both men are on something else as well but have not been able to trace Perry’s stupefaction and Schmidt’s fatuousness to any substances whatsoever other than that they were too scrape and shallow for anybody other than the Republican Party. Together, Perry and Schmidt are gung ho about bringing back the days of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover’s presidencies. The lineup is ever the more asinine with Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and George Prescott Bush.

M: Dude! You brought up unnumbered eyeglasses a few moments back. Could you expound upon what you meant? Do you remember the frame of reference?

D: Man! What? You believe I have become too high on green like the United States Press Corps to remember my train of thought? I’ve got multiple trains of thoughts running every which way but correctly, so is the journalistic disrepair in the United States. If it weren’t for Rachel Maddow tracking the story out of Austin, Travis County, Texas, Rick Perry would be running in his bodysuit with his laser gun in a fanny pack around his waist, insisting the garb be given the prestige of having been worn by him, a man without any knowledge of his own inflated ego and deflated intellect. Steve Schmidt is Rick Perry’s equal in this regard, as are Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush and George Prescott Bush, and Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney.

M: Dude! With names like that defining the Republican Party, it’s not worth much noting the words integrity and brainpower running for dear life, just like the Austin, Travis County, Texas coyotes Governor Rick Perry killed with his laser gun on his daily run-ins with Southern wildlife.

D: Man! Governor Rick Perry is Southern wildlife! He seriously thought he would get away with having his mug shot taken with those false eyeglasses resting atop his smeller. They asked Rick Perry what number prescription he wore over and over again and he steadfastly answered with a random letter out of the alphabet every time. Yeah, it’s guys like Rick Perry and Steve Schmidt that the United States Press Corps chooses to align itself with, so there’s no question that if the American people do not register and then vote for the Democratic Ticket in the 2014 Midterm Elections, the United States is headed for Republican leadership that chooses to wear eyeglasses with a prescription number of zero point zero. Just bringing up the topics we’ve covered just now, I can feel the extent of the influence that the United States of America will be under if the American people choose not to register and then vote! What’s the difference again between gerrymandering and mandarins?

M: Dude! Wow! You are definitely exhibiting signs of membership inside of the American Press Corps! Quick! Get Kevin Spacey to calibrate Ashleigh Banfield’s eyeglasses and see whether she answers in numbers or letters. Hurry! Kevin Spacey is going to be leaving the country soon and leaving folks like us behind as he seeks refuge from the hanky-panky the Republican Party and the American Press Corps are planning to coordinate in September and October and then consummate on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014.   

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

(M)an: Dude! I cannot believe you give so many people so much time!

(D)ude: Man! What was I supposed to do? And anyways, I think I received a personal message from the folks above wherever and whoever they are!

M: Dude! Is that right? How so? How did the proselytizers at the front door contribute to any profundity whatsoever?

D: Man! I was reading N. J. Dawood’s translation of the Koran and the Contemporary English Version of the Bible simultaneously and dolomphious fizzgiggious a four-year-old skeptic and his believing mother appeared at the front door today.

M: Dude! Books about divinity addressing the two faiths have the Republican Party and the American Press baptizing in hot water the head of an up-to-the-minute, with-it White House while extolling the return of goof-off good-for-nothings who never had the know-how to ever qualify as decrepit or outmoded. Hence, we’ve got Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, Rick Perry and Gregg Abbott, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell again with Rand Paul, the Klu Klutz Klan and the Koch Klutz Klan, Marsha Blackburn and Michelle Bachmann, and the returning Jeb Bush with son George Prescott Bush, Rick Scott and Judge Terry Lewis.

D: Man! Neglectful nepotism and nepotistic neglect, whichever one you choose to contrive, is what ails the Republican Party. Mitt Romney’s not the primer example but one nevertheless of neglectful nepotism, the primer examples all having been born with silver or gold spoons in their mouths whilst Mitt Romney’s was only stainless steel, or inox from the French inoxydable. This rather trivial detail from his babyhood prompted Mitt Romney to look for refuge in France as a missionary in his youth in order to evade the Vietnam War draft.          

M: Dude! Well, we got to witness how corrosive and incorrigible a man-child Mitt Romney and all the Republicans in the United States Congress are when soon-to-be-voted-out-of-office Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan assisted Mitt Romney with taking the ALS ice bucket challenge on videotape by Ryan pouring a bucket of lukewarm water instead, followed by mistimed shivering on Romney’s end.        

D: Man! That’s too unimaginable for even me to fathom! Faking a voluntary challenge? That’s like how Paul Ryan washes already prewashed pots at local shelters for the television cameras. I believe Chris Cuomo and Jake Tapper transferred from ABC to CNN because of a scuffle involving the detailing that fell through and revealed Paul Ryan’s lies and the American Press’s favoritism toward corrosive and incorrigible man-children to the point of falsifying their coverage of national and international news. But I cannot believe a person can be so much like Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney as to lie about something as implicit as a charitable cause like the ALS ice bucket challenge.          

M: Dude! That’s why there’s me! There’s a slump in the quality of leadership in the Republican Party since the reflux of repulsive segregationists in 2010 like Kentucky Senator Rand Paul who is currently duping folks like Senator Cory Booker into believing that he is sincere in his effort to repair the United States criminal justice system through the implementation of the Record Expungement Designed to Enhance Employment Act of 2014, or the REDEEM Act. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky only wants one individual’s record with law enforcement expunged and that is of his own then-nineteen-year-old son William Paul’s four drinking-related misdemeanor offenses and an assault charge aboard a plane that landed January 4, 2013 at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina where an arrest followed around noon with a 750 dollar bail made near midnight.          

D: Man! The American Press Corps is the Biblical Ham to the Republican Party’s Biblical Noah?   

M: Dude! Really? I thought the American Press Corps to be the Biblical Leah to the Republican Party’s Biblical Rachel. Look, Rachel is Jacob’s preference but her sister Leah is arranged by their father Laban to marry Jacob because Leah is the older sister and, thus, must marry first. A similar preference exists in the Muslim world where arranged marriages still prevail, Mohammed having studied the Old Testament and New Testament as a scholar before earning the respect of colleagues as a principled merchant for the shipping magnate Khadijah, his adoring first wife and the first convert to Islam.   

D: Man! Look at the way God promises through a rainbow to not summon another flood but Noah insists upon planting a vineyard and a lifestyle that involves indulgent confidential drunkard mood swings in the buff that mustn’t be revealed.    

M: Dude! And, of course, Ham stumbles into Noah’s tent, only to take leave immediately and tell his brothers Shem and Japheth about the sight of an inebriated and exposed Noah.   

D: Man! Noah makes slaves of Ham’s descendants, beginning with Ham’s son Canaan who is enslaved to his uncles Shem and Japheth. And two of the many places mentioned as belonging to the descendents of Ham conveniently include Ethiopia and Egypt.

M: Dude! The Republican Party has disrobed on many occasions and the American Press Corps has followed by covering up its nudity and arguing that its vineyard is for varying fruit preserves instead.

D: Man! Peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches could be the reason for the vineyard. Have you not noticed how it’s either strawberry jelly or grape jelly in those jars with the peanut butter whipped around in circular layers of fruit preserves?      

M: Dude! Rachel and Leah were sisters originally and aren’t we all siblings in revelry before rivalry ensues?

D: Man! As Edward Lear wrote, separately but he nonetheless, dolomphious fizzgiggious!

"Between their loved home and the war's desolation."

(D)ude: Man! American photojournalist James Wright Foley deserves a soldier’s burial at Arlington National Cemetery. The information available about his personal and career trajectories points to a soul brimming with a personal responsibility as the eldest brother to four siblings and a professional sense of duty towards serving justice in the face of life’s disparities as a teacher and mentor to the helpless and, for at least five years, as a photojournalist reporting the facts and heartfelt truths from active warzones despite the United States Media’s becoming accustomed to writing out so much of the crucial detail and corresponding realities about the world at large and the disenfranchised at home.     

(M)an: Dude! Yes, James Wright Foley is deserving of a final resting place alongside our selfless brave. Although there are documents required for scheduling a funeral service at Arlington National, the DD214 form or its equivalent indicating an honorable discharge and active duty service alongside a death certificate or cremation certificate, succession documents and other additional documents in order for family and loved ones to call and schedule the service, I believe the new millennium is calling out through Jim Foley’s resolute stare into the camera right before his demise for US to reevaluate how we define paramilitary forces working alongside our professional military.            

D: Man! So what’s a DD214 form exactly?

M: Dude! DD form 214 has been issued  by the Department of Defense since January 1, 1950 and identifies a veteran’s condition of discharge that could be one of the following: honorable, general, other than honorable, dishonorable or bad conduct.

D: Man! The Republican Party and its media outlets in the United States must be held accountable for misconduct, dissolving the ethical code practiced by the few and the brave like Tim Hetherington and Jim Foley due to John Roberts’ Supreme Court’s far right leaning with such characterless male justices and the Congressional Republicans who have already declared themselves the majority in the Senate and the House come January 2015 although voter registration hasn’t even commenced in much of the nation and Election TuesDay’s not until November 4, 2014.        

M: Dude! The Republican Party and its media outlets in the United States must be held accountable for the revelations they have made inadvertently about their true prejudicial nature of covering the major news stories at home and abroad. Tim Hetherington and Jim Foley are casualties of not just physical war, but a spiritual fight that the Republican Party and its media outlets have tried to whitewash with their broad brushstrokes of scorn and misdirection. The Republican Party and its media outlets should be shunned for their profane unprofessionalism, qualities that are exemplified by their latest “Trust Us” campaign that coincides with the Klu and Koch Klutz Klannishness that has gripped the likes of James Dao of The New York Times and even Bobby Ghosh, the ex-World Editor at TIME Magazine and now Managing Editor at Atlantic Media’s website Quartz.            

D: Man! James Dao’s missteps as editor would have remained overlooked if it had not been for Lawrence O’Donnell’s catching the fatalistic errors in the newspaper’s coverage of the eyewitness accounts being indiscriminate in the police killing of Michael Brown, Junior, without ever once providing evidence to back their statements and preserve journalistic integrity. Integrity is always highly questionable when it comes to the Republican Party and its media outlets, and I think that’s the reason talented souls like Tim Hetherington and Jim Foley venture onto the front lines in their search for justice and preserving the veracity of the personal accounts of the humanity lost in tumult and the enduring pain otherwise erased by distancing oneself from survivors of such horrors.         

M: Dude! The eyewitnesses who appeared on Lawrence O’Donnell’s The Last Word were thorough and composed and consistent, as was O’Donnell. Tiffany Mitchell and Michael Brady should not have to testify before the grand jury or a county prosecutor who reminds me of Florida’s Angela Corey in the way that the police officer Darren Wilson is being allowed to testify even after the fact of so many counts of criminal malpractice stacked against him. Their interviews with O’Donnell should be sufficient for the grand jury to study because of the Republican Party and its media outlets’ history viciously chaffing Rachel Jeantel’s witness testimony in their character assassination attempts of the murdered teenager Trayvon Martin.     

D: Man! Bobby Ghosh’s missteps as a guest contributor on Chris Matthews’s Hardball this week were purposely placed by the same nook of characterless caricatures that are the Republican Party and its media outlets, especially since Ghosh waited until the last moments he was on-air with Matthews this past Thursday to divulge his support for what Bush 41 did and criticize President Obama as follows…  

Well, there`s been plenty of criticism of ISIS from various

Arab states. What we haven`t got here is a sort of a focal point. We don`t have a leadership. As you pointed out, George Bush, Sr. -- he gathered all these nations together.

Obama hasn`t really tried that yet, and he hasn`t really shown an interest in doing that. So that`s what`s necessary. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that someone has to take the lead.

Nobody in the Arab world is willing to take the lead. The United States is the only country that seems to have the wherewithal to do so.

He`s said repeatedly, Obama has, that we`re not going to put too many boots on the ground and it has to be an effort from Iraqis and from the Kurds, and so on. OK, that`s fine. But getting all the Arab states together, and when necessary, knocking some heads together and getting them

to participate in the fight against... ISIS is something that has to come from Washington. It`s 
not going to come from Riyadh or from Amman or from any of the Arab capitals.

M: Dude! Bobby Ghosh’s journalistic integrity expired on Hardball with Chris Matthews on Thursday, August 21, 2014 with that rather too lengthy a sound bite to be indicative of the possibility of Ghosh unintentionally misspeaking. Instead, Bobby Ghosh knowingly sided against President Obama despite the obviousness of how much devastation and ruination were administered to the Middle East and the surrounds through the imperious Bush Dynasty.

Register, Then Vote for Bright Stars Through the Perilous Fight

(M)an: Dude! The United States Press Corps is blurring the lines that were clearly made by the President of the United States in his remarks on Iraq and Ferguson, Missouri at Monday’s briefing.

(D)ude: Man! The United States Press Corps is unwittingly making revelations about its historical and present-day alignment within the status quo establishment and the brutally oppressive Republican Party.  

M: Dude! The American Press is Republican-run. The protesters in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri would be best advised to keep their cool and calm and togetherness and focus on attending Church services Wednesday and Sunday, rather than become witnesses to the horrors being orchestrated by outside groups at nightfall, especially now that the Klu Klutz Klan has publically stated its own intension to fundraise on behalf of the police officer Darren Wilson.

D: Man! The American Press is reporting with the same selectivity as Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson chose to drop a video clip and incident report of two African-American male suspects stealing cigarettes from a convenience store during daylight, insinuating Mike Brown as a plausibility for Officer Darren Wilson’s misidentifying him as one of the two due to their similarities in height and built.     

M: Dude! The American Press is blurring the lines with such animosity towards this nation’s struggling classes and the world’s disenfranchised for whom the President has consideration and compassion. For the opposite sentiments of disregard and degradation, you need not look any further than the Congressional Republicans.     

D: Man! I’ll give you specifics. First off, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham who also serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee. These are Senator Graham’s exact words from his Sunday, August 10, 2014 diatribe on Faux News Sunday with Chris Wallace—

I think of an American city in flames because of the terrorist ability to operate in Syria and Iraq. The director of national security, the FBI director, the director of homeland security has said that the ISIS presence in Syria where hundreds of Americans and thousands of European fighters have gone, represents a direct threat to the United States, and now, their enclave in Iraq.

To change that threat, we have to have a sustained air campaign in Syria and Iraq. We need to go on offense. There is no force within the Mideast that can neutralize or contain or destroy ISIS without at least American air power.

M: Dude! Senator Lindsey Graham is a W.A.A.R.  or Wrought Asinine Antagonizing Republican, and must be disciplined for such inflammatory speech. Senator Lindsey Graham appears to want our sons and daughters’ boots on the ground in Syria and Iraq et al in order for the situation to qualify as an appropriate offense.

D: Man! Wait up! Senator Graham continues… So, there's no political reconciliation in Baghdad going to protect the American homeland. That has to be a commander-in-chief with a strategy and a vision. This commander-in-chief has no strategy. He has no vision.

M: Dude! I find this very disturbing because the Republican Party leaders clearly do not care to remain up-to-date with the groundbreaking advancements in military technology that the President of the United States is choosing to apply to a tremendously tragic circumstance in a truly unpredictable environment. Airstrikes and military advisers are offense strategies for the new millennium.

D: Man! Just a sec! Senator Graham really scrunches up his nose during this continuation that is packed with an ill will… Do you really want to let America be attacked? You're having people on the ground slaughtering Christians. They have four goals: to make every Muslim bend to their will, to destroy the Christian population in the Mideast, to drive us out, and eventually destroy Israel. So, here's my statement to the president -- Mr. President, your own people are telling you we face an attack on this region. Your game plan, the actions you're taking, cannot protect us. There is no substitute for America being involved in terms of eradicating ISIS. If we don't hit them in Syria, you'll never solve the problem in Iraq.

M: Dude! The only way to truly secure peace and interfaith dialogues in Iraq and Syria is to restore the infrastructure that was destroyed by previous W.A.A.R. strategists going all the way back to Richard Nixon’s vice presidency in the Eisenhower Administration. The word of the moment then was “Communism” like “Terrorism” today. And the Arab World questioned the logic behind the Eisenhower Doctrine while playing along with the American policy as a means of attaining money and weapons for their personal arsenals.         

D: Man! Alright! Here’s how Senator Lindsey Graham’s flare-up culminates because of Chris Wallace’s dexterity for wrapping up segments before the guests stale… Mr. President, you authored us getting out of Iraq, and during a debate with Governor Romney, Romney suggested I could support 10,000 troops like the president intends to leave behind, and the president said in the debate, I'm not leaving any troops behind. I'm not going to get entangled in Iraq yet again.

Mr. President, you're rewriting history.

M: Dude! Those personal arsenals of weapons and cash handed by the Eisenhower and Nixon Administration set off the momentum of international disorder, which led to the destruction that has consumed too many lives, the latest being the horrific videotaped execution of American journalist James Foley.

D: Man! Newt Gingrich revealed the Republican Party’s plans for domestic and international disorder and further destruction through legislative disruption through inaction for January 2015 on Meet the Press with David Gregory—

And then, in January, the Republican Senate and the Republican House just cuts off the money. You don't have to impeach a president to control him. You can just cut off the money.

The right fight will come in January if Republicans get the Senate. And right fights over cutting off money. It's a totally legitimate thing for the Congress to say to the president, "You won't be able to enforce this. No money will be allocated for it." And that is at the core of the American constitutional system.

M: Dude! Register, then vote for the Democratic ticket! How much heartache and loss can we endure?

D: Man! The Republican Party is using domestically the same tactics of Eisenhower and Nixon. The Republican Party’s untraceable finances are going towards financing hate, even if it means getting outsiders to provoke violence on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri nightly when legit protesters clean up the streets before and afterwards and call for peace. The Republican Party is too treacherous to confront through face-to-face marching and modern oratory! People need to organize and then register to vote and follow through—not fall through—all the obstacles put forth by the Republican Party to suppress voter turnout.

M: Dude! Have you noticed too how the Republican Party has continually dodged questions related to drug trafficking on the Mexico and United States border? I even wonder whether the National Guard that Governor Rick Perry deployed to the border is infected with the same bias and incompetence as the Ferguson and the St. Louis, Missouri County Police Departments? 

D: Man! Don’t forget the good guys! Like Captain Ron Johnson and the Missouri State Highway Patrol! And the Border Patrolmen who feed, dress and change diapers of the unaccompanied minors before sending them to their makeshift beds.

M: Dude! Register, then vote for the good guys to continue their work! Otherwise, suffer the consequences under wanton lechers like Newt Gingrich and the Republican Party’s alloyed and antiquated policies. All in the name of the United States Constitution, of coarse! And I mean it! Of coarse! Of coarse!

Talking About Injustices

(D)ude: Man! I’ve been trying to retrieve specifics about eighteen-year-old Michael Brown’s ambitions and personality. I want to know him because the United States Press Corps statistically dismisses Black American boys and men as a conglomerate of misdirected drive and dangerousness.  

(M)an: Dude! The LA Times was the first to provide details Monday of Mike Brown’s envisioning a career as a heating and cooling engineer, while W_W_W dot VOX dot com did an excellent thirteen question slide presentation of last Saturday’s police execution of the unarmed teenager and the subsequent protests and police militarization tactics employed giving way to riots earlier this week until Thursday’s peaceful demonstrations under the  compassion and supervision of Police Captain and Ferguson native Ron Johnson.      

D: Man! Captain Ron Johnson administered and received back a lot of genuine embraces and handshakes from the community of mourners collaboratively attempting to calm the tidal waves of outrageous behaviors and actions by the Ferguson, Missouri PD and the resulting civilian reactions of revulsion and disparity and hopelessness and fear nationwide.           

M: Dude! The United States Press Corps needs to be handed legal dictionaries and instructed to look up the words robbery and theft. Or, at least, given access to the Internet and Wikipedia’s differentiations between common law and civil law, robbery and shoplifting, and race and humanity. According to W_W_W dot VOX dot com, Michael Brown would be attending his first day of classes last week at Vatterott College, a Missouri trade school where he was scheduled to pursue his American Dream.   

D: Man! The duplicate eyewitness evidence by Tiffany Mitchell and Dorian Johnson lending to a first-degree murder charge against Officer Darren Wilson is causing widespread panic amongst the sectarian United States Press Corps that has thus far smothered fatal abuses by law enforcement nationwide, in the cases of Eric Garner, John Crawford, Ezell Ford, and Dante Parker. From all the articles available online, Greg Howard’s from 8:52 PM Tuesday was the first to actually place a historical perspective on the crisis with the title America Is Not For Black People.      

M: Dude! Greg Howard’s article actually has a wonderful connecting link to The Atlantic, specifically Ta-Nehisi Coates’s May 21, 2014 featured feat The Case for Reparations: Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.

D: Man! Greg Howard’s article also links onto the American Civil Liberties Union’s June 2014 investigation War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American Policing. The findings are haunting, especially the instances of SWAT raid lapses and graphic casualty reports interspersed throughout the research study alongside the haunting photographs of victims like Tarika Wilson and her 14-month-old son, 68-year-old grandfather of twelve Eurie Stamp, 19-month-old Bounkham “Baby Bou Bou” Phonesavanh, 26-year-old Iraq War veteran Jose Guerena, and 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones.         

M: Dude! Greg Howard’s analyses are noteworthy. Part of the reason we're seeing so many black men killed is that police officers are now best understood less as members of communities, dedicated to keeping peace within them, than as domestic soldiers. The drug war has long functioned as a full-employment act for arms dealers looking to sell every town and village in the country on the need for military-grade hardware, and 9/11 made things vastly worse, with local police departments throughout America grabbing for cash to better defend against any and all terrorist threats. War had reached our shores, we were told, and police officers needed weaponry to fight it.

D: Man! Continuing, Officers have tanks now. They have drones. They have automatic rifles, and planes, and helicopters, and they go through military-style boot camp training. It's a constant complaint from what remains of this country's civil liberties caucus. Just this last June, the ACLU issued a report on how police departments now possess arsenals in need of a use. Few paid attention, as usually happens.

The worst part of outfitting our police officers as soldiers has been psychological. Give a man access to drones, tanks, and body armor, and he'll reasonably think that his job isn't simply to maintain peace, but to eradicate danger. Instead of protecting and serving, police are searching and destroying.

M: Dude! And concluding that section of Howard’s article, If officers are soldiers, it follows that the neighborhoods they patrol are battlefields. And if they're working battlefields, it follows that the population is the enemy. And because of correlations, rooted in historical injustice, between crime and income and income and race, the enemy population will consist largely of people of color, and especially of black men. Throughout the country, police officers are capturing, imprisoning, and killing black males at a ridiculous clip, waging a very literal war on people like Michael Brown.

D: Man! Michael Brown had a very evidentially legit concern for becoming terrified of the repercussions of submitting himself to police authorities last Saturday afternoon. Because he was headed for college in a matter of just two days, Mike feared an arrest record from a possible and highly likely if not definite detrimental confrontation with White American police officers for himself as a Black American youth with an intimidating height and stature as well as the dark complexion.

M: Dude! Fear of an arrest record to contend with for life well before his parents and he could begin the latest chapter of collegiate planning and ambitions for Mike as he was headed to Vatterott College, Michael Brown’s decision to keep moving forward and away from the grasps of the Ferguson Police Officer Warren Davis is justifiable.  

D: Man! Yes, Mike’s anxiety is palpable considering how the stats were stacked against his being able to face justice in such an otherwise defensible case for white guys like ourselves. God! Where art thou?

M: Dude! Where art thou, God?

D: Man! In Michael Brown’s defense, there were no dashboard cameras in Officer Warren Davis’s patrol car because they remained unpacked at the Ferguson Police Department Headquarters. Criminal intent on the part of the predominantly combatively racialist Ferguson PD? It reminds me of the lack of statistical data in research conducted by the Center For Community Alternatives_(CCA) and American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers concerning The Use of Criminal History Records in College Admissions Reconsidered.

M: Dude! How so?

D: Man! The CCA and the AACRAO developed a 59-question survey instrument that was electronically administered through their USA network of over three thousand member institutions. Out of the 3,248 institutions only 273 responded even after being told their identities would remain strictly confidential.

M: Dude! To use criminal justice info in the screening process of college applicants but not be held accountable for filling out such surveys by the CCA and the AACRAO is flagrantly unfair. Talk about injustice!

D: Man! Talking about injustice, 24% of the colleges that did perform criminal background checks admitted to not knowing the specifics of how the background checks were conducted, whether by the state agency assigned to collecting criminal records and known simply as the State Central Repository, or contracting through a private company specializing in background checks.

M: Dude! And to think that Michael Brown might have had to self-report any skirmishes between himself and that Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson to the devastation of possibly being placed on probationary status for the duration of his time in college and then having that other possibility of being denied admission completely or becoming disheartened to the point of self withdrawal from professional school.

D: Man! It’s too serious an accusation to tell a student his or her criminal justice info is sufficient grounds for probationary status or rejection, when you yourself do not know all the specifics to how your educational institution gathers and collects and stores such data! There is the inference of premeditated intensions here too in terms of the college admissions department dismissing an entire population of applicants. And we have to keep in mind that students who never had a record with law enforcement beforehand overwhelmingly and singlehandedly commit the offenses on college campuses.
