Man! Dude! Session #123




(M)an: Dude! David Letterman invited Chris Christie, but overlooked a major flaw in the Governor of New Jersey’s getup. Governor Chris Christie is the exact same person who riled revoltingly about anything dealing with the Democrats and President Obama at the Republican National Convention in 2012.

(D)ude: Man! This was the exact same convention where John Boehner made references to throwing President Obama out of a bar miserably wasn’t it?

M: Dude! That was exactly the one. Remember how Senator Dr. Rand Paul of Kentucky competed for “Most Aggressive Slur” alongside such political rogues like Rick Santorum, John McCain, Condoleezza Rice, Susana Martinez, Tim Pawlenty, Rob Portman, Jeb Bush, Clint Eastwood, and Marco Rubio?

D: Man! If David Letterman is supporting Chris Christie, Letterman has lost his marbles.

M: Dude! If David Letterman is supporting Chris Christie, Letterman hasn’t yet had to clean up layers of soot off the floors of his home like our relatives in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island who had been spared death by drowning or electrocution like so many victims of Hurricane Sandy.

D: Man! David Letterman lives in Montana and Indiana himself and commutes to New York City, doesn’t he? And, anyways, even if he chooses to live below his means in New York City a good part of the time, I bet David Letterman isn’t having to rely on penny-saving relatives in nearby boroughs who themselves are suffering the aftereffects of Sandy even nowadays.

M: Dude! While Governor Chris Christie was watching the Super Bowl with the 49ers franchise owner’s exclusive box seats. On February 3, 2013, Governor Chris Christie said the following, “I think by next February, you’ll see that New Jersey will have recovered a good amount from the storm, and it will be a good way to turn the page from being victims to being survivors and thrivers. And that’s what we’re going to be hoping to do by next February”… The “it” in that statement being the proposal by Republicans like Louisianan Governor Bobby Jindal and Democrats like New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu to move next year’s Super Bowl to New Jersey.

D: Man! I bet that is another one of Governor Chris Christie’s Republican principles that he cannot compromise on: The demand that the private sector be totally responsible for rebuilding the damage done by Super Storm Sandy. Hah! I wonder how many displaced relatives of his are living with him at the New Jersey Governor Mansion!

M: Dude! The houses that remain after the Hurricane Sandy are molding and the residents have to do almost all the cleanup by themselves. Seriously! Governor Chris Christie believes he can get away with pretending to have severed ties with the Republican Party, not being invited to the American Conservative Union’s Conservative Political Action Conference on March 14, 15, and 16, 2013 in Washington, DC, and gotten the private sector to kick into effect by getting New Jersey to host the 2014 Super Bowl. This is ludicrous!

D: Man! It’s all premeditated and Kentuckian Senator Mitch McConnell is up for reelection as well as Governor Chris Christie. But the Republican Party’s refusal to raise more taxes in exchange for additional spending cuts is a miscalculation on the part of the GOP! But to get around this roadblock that they have placed between themselves and President Obama, John Boehner and Eric Cantor have started acting like thugs and finishing their statements with an insincere recipe that they cannot even get straight themselves about their own families’ personal struggles and, if at all, anything having to do with one or two of their constituents that are benefitting from Boehner’s or Cantor’s charities at the local level.

M: Dude! John Boehner and Eric Cantor believe that by securing Governor Chris Christie and Senator Mitch McConnell’s seats in the upcoming November 2013 Elections, the Republican Party can sweep the midterm elections in 2014 and continue trying to make President Obama’s presidency come undone.

D: Man! Remember the story of the dog that recognized his male caretaker’s voice at a Klu Klutz Klan rally in middle of the town square and ran to him despite all the bed sheets and pillowcases that the Klu Klutz Klan people wore?

M: Dude! I think that was a Chicken Soup recipe right out of Canfield and Hansen’s famous For The Soul series.

D: Man! I believe that’s where the story first drew my attention, but the point is that the dog was able to sniff out his owner from the pack of shrouded messes that collectively gathered downtown. But you can never even teach a canine companion to sniff out a double-dealing hoax like Governor Chris Christie and the collateral Republicans like himself that are giving a false sense of safety and an Independent leaning for the sake of becoming reelected.

M: Dude! The Sequestration drama could have been and can still be resolved if the focus was not so suddenly averted from the rebuilding efforts in neighborhoods devastated by Hurricane Sandy and the Congressional Republicans had not chosen to adjourn for ten days in order to avoid responsible problem-solving. And now that they have returned, John Boehner and Eric Cantor are smiling like sociopaths as are fellow Arizonans Governor Jan Brewer and Senator John McCain.

D: Man! Governor Chris Christie lacks a social conscience as well! I’ve never seen him cleaning up soot off the floors and carpets of dilapidated homes reeking with mold and decay from the onslaught of Super Storm Sandy, which, by the way, was four months ago!

M: Dude! The Republican Party ought to be held accountable for its inaction and the continued delays in financial assistance to the survivors of Super Storm Sandy. Because, unlike Governor Chris Christie and all the collateral Republicans such as he, I think every individual to have suffered loss as a result of the storm should be unafraid of being labeled a victim and accepting government services.

D: Man! No one has the right to question whether or not a mother can buy ice cream for her children when on welfare, but these new brand of Republicans make me afraid for the lives of such women and even more so if the Supreme Court were to overturn the Voting Rights Act. As far as I’m concerned, when the students at Texas Occidental Franchise University can boast about having not been reprehended for having participated in Klu Klutz Klan activities and the professors just laugh or look the other way, the Voting Rights Act mustn’t ever be defeated.

M: Dude! TOFU is full of such sociopathic tightwads, Chief Justice Roberts’ Supreme Court ought to go and deliberate there! The student body, faculty, and staff are overwhelmingly all in favor of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s plans alongside the GOP to gerrymander and rig the presidential elections so that the rural TOFU communities have disproportionate amounts of influence over their urban-and-diversified counterparts.

Man! Dude! Session #122




(D)ude: Man! What does the United States Republican Party want to do for constituents? Why does McCain even bother to have town hall meetings in Arizona with his constituents when he chooses to describe a chart statistic as a “banana” and laugh like Drew Peterson in the wake of such tragic events that the attendees have suffered, like the Aurora movie theatre massacre taking the lives of their sons and daughters?

(M)an: Dude! Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul of Kentucky both have also chosen to grin in the wake of the sequestration like murderer Drew Peterson because they want to purposefully inflict pain through a campaign that they had been devising since the night of President Obama’s first inauguration with Ohio’s Representative John Boehner, Virginia’s Representative Eric Cantor and Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan scripting the moves that they now hope President Obama’s Administration will succumb to taking.

D: Man! The Republicans that took over the House of Representatives in 2010 actually want their constituents to suffer for the sake of their party leadership gaining wealth and power on the backs of civilians and our sons and daughters in uniform being forced to come home in caskets in order for McConnell, Paul, McCain, Boehner, Cantor, and Ryan to get their own private jets and invites to Cayman Island conferences that Mitt Romney and George W. Bush attend alongside billionaires like Richard Branson of Virgin Mobile?

M: Dude! The Republican Party agenda is three-pronged. And billionaires like Richard Branson are pooling together at those Cayman Island retreats money that is then divided up amongst all membership, like a “I’ll save your back and private jet, and you will save mine” mentality.

D: Man! Who are these Republicans trying to trip up?

M: Dude! Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul choose to give back some money out of their budgets to the United States Treasury instead of investing the excess into poverty programs for the women and children of Appalachia, and have organizations like the McConnell Center for Leadership, Scholarship, and Service at the University of Louisville, Kentucky that explicitly quote John F. Kennedy like a prophet, although Rand Paul admitted during the Hillary Clinton Hearing on Benghazi that he was aware of and in support of the Taliban forces tearing apart the Middle East, including Turkey and Cambodia, the latter comments sounding preposterous at the time and making then-Secretary Clinton question the legitimacy of the concerns with a quizzical face.

D: Man! And then the Ankara, Turkey incident occurred!

M: Dude! The three-prong Republican Agenda is as follows… First, the Republican Party in Congress wants to infiltrate the Taliban with United States weapons by equipping the so-called “Rebels” against Syria’s President Bashar Hafez al-Assad and Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

D: Man! Then what after that?

M: Dude! Secondly, the Republican Congress will feign concern for the ethnic cleansing of the people, especially the women and children in Syria by al-Assad’s Regime. And then they will feign concern over gas prices in the United States, which they have total control over through dynastic powerhouse like the George Bushes and the Alcoa Global Primary Products industry that functions as a participant in the annual Cowen and Company 34th Annual Aerospace/Defense Conference that was held on February 7, 2013 at the InterContinental Barclay in New York. The Bush Dynasty has direct contacts to the oil business hub in the Middle East while Alcoa is a 125-year leader in industries like metal refinery and construction and transportation.

D: Man! The Republican Party membership is in on the lies and cheats that are operating about in Damascus, Syria and Tehran, Iran?

M: Dude! And in the spirit of humanitarian aide, the Republican Party is planned to send in American military personnel and soldiers and freights that will be labeled as means to an end to the ethnic violence in Syria, and later Iran.

D: Man! Man! Man! Then what?

M: Dude! Then the Republican Leaders plan to bring planes filled with our beloved sons and daughters in uniform who will have sacrificed and died in Republican Vainness and whose loved ones will be allotted a grave to place them in at Arlington National Cemetery.

D: Man! What about Righteous Gentiles like US saving the women and children from the ethnic cleansing?

M: Dude! In order to keep Righteous Gentiles like US out of the way, Congressional Republicans have set into motion the sequestration cuts that will decimate the safety measures in place at the moment protecting the United States from more 9/11 occurrences.

D: Man! What about Chris Christie?

M: Dude! He is in on the perks and privileges program that would have gone into place had President Obama not been reelected and Mitt Romney got his and his billionaire fellowship into the White House.

D: Man! The Republicans are refusing to let go of the fact they lost! Why aren’t rallies taking place on the National Mall? Where are the Churches and the Leaders from the impoverished parishes speaking out?

M: Dude! They are being blocked on hospital televisions alongside President Obama’s cries for help that are not being taken seriously by the national networks and evening news giants like Disney’s ABC and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Network.

D: Man! What about US?

M: Dude! We cannot wait! We have to take to the streets in a civilized manner to express our hopelessness and demand for justice for everybody. The 700,000 federal workers just in defense who are going to be forced on leave without pay, ought to come together peacefully alongside powerhouses like Reverends and their Congregations.

D: Man! Godspeed! Let the Republican Party not have their way and manufacture such poverty and desperation amongst US that we become, like Syria, extremists for such causes as menial survival, which will affect US White Americans even more so than our minority counterparts.

Living in our hearts filled with gratitude... Steve Jobs.

Man! Dude! Session #121



(M)an: Dude! Sequestration will be looked upon as a Republican-manufactured crisis and will have a death toll equivalency for civilians as the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars was for our sons and daughters in uniform.

(D)ude: Man! Diane Sawyer’s eyes do not sparkle anymore when she reports the news. The takeover of American Media by far right conservative donors has deteriorated the level of the playing field. And Diane Sawyer is a game changer, which makes it harder to watch the devolving topics of public interest that the far right media titans insist Sawyer report nightly.

M: Dude! Elizabeth Vargas and David Muir began the Made In America segment that spread rapidly across the United States, but the far right conservative media titans have assigned David Muir to Tehran, Afghanistan and Tony Moran to Damascus, Syria for the purposes of conveying the notion that Syria and Iran are suffering as a direct result of President Obama’s brokered sanctions and decision to not involve the United States military in Syria’s Civil War.    

D: Man! I am surprised that no one in television picked up on the peculiarity that Marco Rubio’s response to the President’s State Of The Union address did not constitute a response at all. The President’s proposals were thorough, yet Marco Rubio was rehashing rhetoric that did not match up with the talking points that the President had stressed in his address to the United States Congress.

M: Dude! Isn’t there a constitutional solution to the mess that the Republican leaders are so arrogantly supporting like the austerity measures that sequestration will bring onto the poor and working class families like US?

D: Man! The Checks and Balances System of American Government needs to be revised to favor the poor and working classes and the constituents, rather than the wealthy donors that John Boehner and Eric Cantor waltz and line dance with on a nightly basis. I even heard that Boehner and Cantor, like Marco Rubio, believe they live in working class neighborhoods and that their neighbors are diversified despite the six digit minimal pricing of homes in their communities.

M: Dude! When you got poor and working class families like US being forced into further dire straits, violence ensues. I believe that Senators John McCain and Mitch McConnell do not care about US because they are in the profession of politics to keep their pockets stuffed with defense investments that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel would most likely audit out, leaving their schemes and charades and pockets cold.

D: Man! No wonder the Republican Party is rejecting the ascension of Chuck Hagel!

M: Dude! The Republican Party is infiltrating American courtrooms and attempting to annihilate the rights of the poor and working classes as well as women and minorities. Detroit, Michigan is a tragic example of how the Republican Right Wingers and Fox News have decimated multicultural initiatives for phenomena like white flight, the movement and division between the White Majority and all other racial configurations that will be the Diversified Majority in twenty years time.

D: Man! Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky beamingly reported that he gives money back to the United States Treasury instead of investing and providing vital public assistance to poor and working class Kentuckians.

M: Dude! Senator Rand Paul is the poster child of the Right Wing Agenda that basically argues that Republican Hardheads not budge and allow the sequestration to take effect and for more cities to suffer the same fate as deteriorated and suffering Detroit, Michigan. Fort Worth, Texas is going to be hit hard with the sequestration, the monolithic structures resembling a twenty-first century Stonehenge of sorts at the moment due to the city being in the middle stages of highway construction.

D: Man! There is another trend amongst the Republican Hardheads, the new wave of GOP movers and shakers deciding to shake and move to an Independent identity.

M: Dude! They will only be Republican beasts in Independent clothing. There are 32 Republican governors right now, one of whom identifies as Independent while the other chooses to disguise as a Democrat. But the thing about the state legislatures is that it is really hard to create an organizational chart of all fifty states, especially those represented by Republican Representatives and Senators.

D: Man! And Senator John McCain has the corruption to declare to mothers and loved ones effected directly by gun violence via the loss of their children to senseless massacres like the ones in Aurora and Newtown, that assault weapons ban will not pass either the House or Senate!

M: Dude! There is a Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC 2013 being held in Washington, DC next month, a so-called project of the American Conservative Union. Mitt Romney will be reengaging the GOP Conservative in another attempt at the White House in 2016. And Jeb Bush is a scheduled speaker there as well. Although Jeb Bush is insisting he will not run for the United States presidency, his son George Prescott Bush is being groomed to take the nomination in 2020.

D: Man! From what I have read, Jeb Bush and his wife invested heavily in the Bush dynasty male heir, but not so much sacrificing was put in place for his sister Noelle Bush and brother John Ellis Bush, Jr., who were victims of financial mishandling.

M: Dude! The George Bush Dynasty membership considers War just another costume to adorn for photographs while avoiding drafts and combat that our sons and daughters must engage in on behalf of their dynastic oil and gas empires that demand underhanded business dealings with America’s enemies and the extremely gender-biased nations that also financially mishandle their daughters and rank their male heirs.

D: Man! Jeb Bush was quoted as saying that female welfare recipients quote unquote “should be able to get their life together and find a husband.” And his mother even gave a derogatory remark about Jeb and Columba’s children being different racially as if they were tokens upon which her family could broker with a diversified United States in the new millennium.

M: Dude! Mitt Romney shares the same marriage philosophy about women remaining home and raising children!

D: Man! The Republican Tea Partiers are devising plans at the state level to overturn Roe v. Wade and the provisions of The Voting Rights Act and then go after such measures like Affirmative Action! If the GOP had their way, every Republican male leader would have a private plane and loads of cash and some female leadership mixed in just for the sake of tokenism.

M: Dude! And they want to sequester and place US regular folks in longer wait lines at the airport while downsizing the air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors! What planet do they believe they inhabit? With all the horsemeat controversies going on across the globe, I wonder if the Republican Party has forgotten President Teddy Roosevelt’s reading Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle?

Man! Dude! Session #120



(D)ude: Man! Have you heard how the press is going after NBC and MSNBC?

(M)an: Dude! Makes me think about Kofi Annan’s observation that “all the cruel and brutal things- even genocide starts with intimidation of one individual”.

D: Man! I think Texas Representative Ron Paul and Goodwill Industries are partnering up to puncture the hopes and livelihood of the working classes. I went to drop off some items today at the Goodwill donation center where they’ve also set up a superstore.

M: Dude! There are several other moderately sized Goodwill Stores in Fort Worth, all of them placed near highways and/or middle of the road neighborhoods where there are low income and public assistance communities. I wonder if the Public Transportation System City Buses have finally placed a bus stop near the superstore?

D: Man! I’m not sure. I really had hoped that John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan had gotten over their George W. Bush/Dick Cheney/Donald Rumsfeld habit of hyping inaccuracies and allowed the Simpson-Bowles resolution to pass congress. The Plan To Prosperity that Paul Ryan hypes and Texas Representative Kay Granger from District 12 supports in the corner of her webpage, is as unintelligent as Herbert Walker Bush’s decision to not go after and finally kill Saddam the first time around and George W. Bush’s insistence on camera to Matt Lauer of NBC that admitting to a mistake would be equivocal to admitting being wrong and his intension to never admit to either.

M: Dude! If the Republican Party Officials in Leadership like John Boehner and Eric Cantor and Mitch McConnell and John McCain cannot create a war to submit our sons and daughters in uniform to life threatening extremes that not only endanger soldiers, but civilians in the targeted foreign countries, then the 32 Republican governors in the United States will submit to John Boehner and Eric Cantor and Mitch McConnell and John McCain’s plan to erode the American economy from within.

D: Man! If you cannot have a war abroad, the Republican Party believes in creating war at home in the United States. Can President Obama declare a state of emergency and save the millions of American lives that will go unnoticed and unaddressed, hence more emotional chaos that will lead to only more violence and other forms of conflicts for individuals and families and communities.

M: Dude! The war that the Republican Party is engaging everyday Americans in has begun. On the state level, the 32 GOP governors and their matrix of Republican leadership have already placed an end to women’s rights by placing restrictions at the local and state level that go against Roe versus Wade, which the Republican and Tea Party franchises declare ineffective at the state and local levels of governments.

D: Man! The war that the Republican Party is waging at home amongst communities has begun. Ron Paul’s upcoming book is entitled the “New School Manifesto” according to the Christian Science Monitor, and advocates home schooling and pits the public school system as being like the postal service, having proposed during his 2012 campaign that the Department of Education be dismantled.

M: Dude! Mitt Romney did not win the 2012 Presidential Election. The people reelected President Obama enthusiastically. And, anyways, Ron Paul is all in to the idea of small government and federal student loans being eliminated alongside federal education.

D: Man! Ron Paul and his son Senator Rand Paul cannot blast federal student loans! Rand Paul has had an illustrious education, from the perspective of a Southerner and outsider, having gone to Baylor University and Duke Medical School.

M: Dude! Ron and Rand Paul are just placing a Klutzy tourniquet upon the ideals that postdate the writing of the United States Constitution. I bet the father and son pair mourns the coming of urbanization and progressive movements that brought diversity. Much like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s viewpoint that women ought to be invested in their homes and families. Did you know that the Heritage Action was founded in 2010 and is a sister offshoot of The Heritage Foundation?

D: Man! The Heritage Foundation is Newt Gingrich’s favorite source of official insight into matters concerning just about anything, yet The Heritage Action alerted its membership to vote against VAWA, the Violence Against Women’s Act due to the act’s inclusion of quote unquote new groups. Also, the “more funding and resources in order to carry out the new provisions” really gave them a twist in the knickers.

M: Dude! The news media is all bought, hence, you can spot a trend towards rapid devolution. The standards are dropping and Diane Sawyer has lost her spunk while Jake Tapper and a slew of ABC reporters have transferred to CNN. But CNN is just as bought as ABC and Fox News. You can also see that the angry primetime rejects like Mike Wallace’s son and all those soap opera caliber actors and actresses reporting lewdly and inappropriately.

D: Man! Goodwill Industries has stopped the half off specials every third Wednesday each month! I was donating my jeans, but was caught off guard by the empty parking lot yesterday. I asked a worker what happened to the half off specials and he told me they had discontinued them just this past December.

M: Dude! What about the highway building?

D: Man! Fort Worth is so torn and ripped with construction, I wake up every day nervous that the Republican Sequestration that Boehner and Cantor are steadfastly promoting by placing responsibility entirely upon the shoulders of the Obama Administration, will leave me without sufficient work. Thank goodness there are no children at home! Head Start is going to be on the chopping block! The guys don’t know what to do about their wives who also work in order to afford the minimal for their families. And now their preschoolers are going to be displaced!

M: Dude! I remember the massive influx of people from all over North Texas coming to Fort Worth in order to enjoy the half-off sales specials at Goodwill Stores. They indulged their children with toys that had been donated in mint condition, many times the plastic wrap was still attached. Lots of parents and guardians came in to shop for school clothes and necessities like afterschool gear for soccer or basketball engagements.    

D: Man! If the Republicans cannot keep their pockets warm with foreign combats, then they take such basic services away from working class Americans that we cannot even afford to be included in the daily activities that keep the United States moving forward and civil rights evolving. I remember the camaraderie during the half-off specials, many times I would be pacing the crowds and be asked by a fellow shopper to look after an item or items or their children and family members.

M: Dude! A lot like the lines of folks who stood for hours in order to cast their ballot for President Obama! Unfortunately, House Speaker John Boehner insists upon punishing US for reelecting President Obama and pacifism, not combat. The British Prime Minister recently got the time to pay his respects and apologize for the 1919 British massacre in Amritsar Punjab India.

D: Man! Why cannot the Republicans embrace openheartedness and practice pacifism? Heck! The Republican Party wants US to be left even more behind in infrastructure and suffer the dire effects of the Republican Austerity measures outlined unintelligently in Paul Ryan’s Path To Prosperity. When will President Obama be able to pay his respects and apologize for the sins of Bush #41’s Admin and Bush #43’s Admin at home and abroad?

M: Dude! The bought media had better not start ambushing satellite signals in order to make MSNBC unable to broadcast in prime time! Heck, I really was looking forward to Lawrence O’Donnell’s interview with Elizabeth Busch of South Carolina, a non-Bush Dynasty Busch, of course!

D: Man! I wonder if Chris L. Hayes will be able to get to talk with President Obama this weekend at the White House. Hayes is always meticulously prepared and is willing to dress up with a tie this weekend in honor of our popularly reelected President of the United States Barack Obama. The youthful President and the youth-as-in-actual-youth Hayes will be perfectly matched.

M: Dude! President Obama and Chris L. Hayes have attorney wives and are fathers to daughters only. The ladies of the White House will really enjoy Baby Ryan’s papa!

Tuesday, February 12, 2013

Man! Dude! Session #119



(M)an: Dude! The reports from New York City’s top realtors, many of them women who have been in the real estate market since the 1970s and 1980s, has me concerned about the GOP’s effects on American middle and lower class families like ours.

(D)ude: Man! I think President Gerald Ford’s four years and President Jimmy Carter’s four years provided a positive effect on the US housing market. But had Richard Nixon not been relieved of his duties, the 1970s would have been as screwball as the 1980s and 2000s because of there being Republican leadership and mindsets running the White House.

M: Dude! Screwball? Yeah, I can agree with that. President Carter did not win reelection and Ronald Reagan ushered in eight years of destructive patterns in the housing market, the likes of which would not be seen again until George W. Bush’s eight years as United States president.

D: Man! So, we basically have seen the housing market and finances of the Department of Treasury go haywire whenever the Republican Party has been in the White House for two terms. Why do our backwoods and uptown cousins not realize the financial fatalities that they bring forth with their voting for the Republican Party?

M: Dude! Haywire? I can agree with that. The housing market currently is up and at its best since 2006. Therefore, if we do the mathematics, it would point out that that was exactly seven years ago when George W. and Cheney were the sitting president and vice president in the White House.

D: Man! Yeah! It took George W. and Dick Cheney six years to wreck havoc upon President Clinton’s surplus economy and the housing market that had seen an upswing in trends during the 1990s under the Democratic Party.

M: Dude! Therefore, seven years ago, George W. and Dick Cheney dissembled the United States Economy. In order to keep their pockets warm and stuffed with clearly money that was not properly allocated to the United States Defense, the contractors hired to provide physical safety for our embassies and ambassadors turned out incompetent or lacking in significant ways.

D: Man! Hence, George W and Dick Cheney and Condi Rice and the Republican Party made up a falsehood that cost our sons and daughters in uniform their lives.

M: Dude! Iraq 2! Oh! Ah! Dude!  

D: Man! I don’t get it either! Man! Where does Dick Cheney get the nerve to question President Obama and Vice President Biden’s commitments to protect our sons and daughters in uniform? Cheney and Condi Rice and George W and the Republican Party sacrificed so many of our sons and daughters’ lives, they ought to be held in contempt of American democracy!

M: Dude! The DOW started out 2013 at the best start since 1989!

D: Man! Democrats clean up so much crude on the part of what the Republican Party destroys and decimates every time it is entrusted into the White House!

M: Dude! I hope Vice President Biden’s son comes into the White House as President in the future. He has fought in the Middle East alongside his brothers and sisters in combat.

D: Man! I think Vice President Biden’s gun control measures are flawless. Wayne LaPierre is not just the bombastic lobbyist and NRA leader, he is the poster child for how ridiculously corrupt and undemocratic the Right Wing Conservatism has been and still is and will continue to W and Cheney about the airwaves and news media, as long as Fox Searchlight Studio and Faux News are not differentiable from each other and Arianna Huffington’s Posts dare to run around posing as leftist brass knuckleheads who are supportive of right wing agenda items such as anti-LGBT measures. The Huffington Post is sordid!

M: Dude! The Republicans are never entrusted with the White House! They’re always maneuvering into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by cheating the American people who stand in lines and believe they will be heard with their power to cast a ballot.

D: Man! I hope Vice President Biden remains vice president like President Roosevelt remained president for four terms. That would be cool, huh?

M: Dude! And have Hillary Rodham Clinton come in as the next president? 2016 is too far away, is it not?

D: Man! I have to say, we need to work on 2014! These Republican Stooges are lacking literacy. Have you noticed how Marco Rubio is constantly drinking water every time he has to question or address someone such as John Brennan?

M: Dude! Senator Marco Rubio from Florida is not certain about the separation between the FBI and CIA! No wonder the Senate Intelligence Committee on which Senator Marco Rubio sits and hydrates himself endlessly is having a closed session.

D: Man! I remember that Marco Rubio was drinking from a paper cup, whereas the other members were sipping from breakable glasses. I think I saw some grape juice being ingested as well as water.

M: Dude! Dude! Dude!

D: Man! Come to think of it, Marco Rubio could have easily have been drinking prune juice in his paper cup! Huh?

M: Dude! Dude! Dude!

D: Man! You’re laughing really rambunctiously!

M: Dude! Prune juice and Marco Rubio!

D: Man! The guy needed some kind of release after all!

M: Dude! Florida Senator Marco Rubio and the Republicans only know as much as the scripts written out in front of them by Karl Rove and the Super-PACs!

D: Man! PAC-Man! PAC-Men! PAC-Woman! PAC-Women!

Man! Dude! Session #118



(D)ude: Man! What was the crucial ingredient that propelled the Ravens to win?

(M)an: Dude! A sense of connection that transcended brotherhood and enmeshed the footballers in a sense of purpose propelled that team to win.

D: Man! You sound like you’ve gotten yourself reengaged in reading The Federalist Papers again. Tell me if I’ve got the names right… Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay?

M: Dude! Right on! And, yes, James Madison turned out presidential, although his two revels were just as, if not even more so, sharp as he.

D: Man! Sibling revelry? That’s a positive force of nature, is it not? Otherwise, you would have said sibling rivalry, no?

M: Dude! If I did not have so many skeletons in my closet, I would be running my mouth off at the Tea Party Republicans as a contender for the House of Representatives from this state, The Republic of Texas.

D: Man! You’re fortunate to have skeletons in your closets, but mine are shaking with live people trying to break down the doors to make a skeletal mess out of me!

M: Dude! That’s a perspective deserving serious consideration! Who are the folks trying to break down your closet doors?

D: Man! Do you want me to begin alphabetically? There’s Aunt Olive and Uncle Stevie, the Reverend Jake Glances and his wife Mrs. Petunia, the entire dodge ball team from fifth grade, the entire drama club from eighth grade, and the entire enrollment of students at our high school the year we finally graduated.

M: Dude! You’re never going to forgive the people you attended school with? You know, neither do I! The Reverend Glances and Mrs. Petunia? Huh! I totally forgot about them until just now. I did not appreciate traveling in their Oldsmobile, with all those air fresheners and the scent of that cologne… What was it?

D: Man! Fahrenheit 451!

M: Dude! Christian Dior’s Fahrenheit!

D: Man! Looks like you’re coming to an end of the book! Are you reading the closing credits or annotated bibliography?

M: Dude! Listen to this… from The Declaration of Independence“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and-“

D: Man! The United States Government hath better change right now! Eric Cantor and John Boehner are not budging and neither is Texas District 12 US House Representative Kay Granger from the Paul Ryan Budget proposal that the American people rejected by reelecting President Obama and Vice President Biden!

M: Dude! “…and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But-“

D: Man! Like I was trying to say before your continual interruption, rebuilding the lives affected by Hurricane Sandy and the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary are not light and transient causes. Rather, the Hurricane Sandy and Sandy Hook Elementary tragedies are literally grave and embedded in our souls and mustn’t be allocated to the corners of our collective conscience.

M: Dude! “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object that envinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” 

D: Man!  Regarding whose right?

M: Dude! “The Right of the People to alter or abolish it; and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

D: Man! Despotism? Hmm… Isn’t that what Representatives Eric Cantor from Virginia, and John Boehner from Ohio, and Paul Ryan from Wisconsin, and Kay Granger from Texas are practicing by not even hearing out any of the opposition to The Path To Prosperity, the Paul Ryan Budget that clearly cuts the safety net with which our own mothers and fathers raised US and we will, thanks to President Obama and Vice President Biden, perhaps be able to live with the dignity and integrity our troops representing US abroad and at home embody? Oh! Man! Did you know that the Pentagon hasn’t released a list of military casualties for two weeks now?

M: Dude! Here is the list of grievances against the then-King George of Great Britain. “He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.”     

D: Man! House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor are clearly going against the wholesome and necessary, not wanting to raise revenue and clear the loopholes with which George W. and Dick Cheney made their personal fortunes and what-have-you. Did you know that the George W. Cheney and Condi Rice oversaw the killing of endless US troops in some of the most bogus interventions convened like the surge in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan? And, Paul Ryan and Rand Paul admit that they support more defense and more so-termed “interventions”… Ugh!

M: Dude! “He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.”

D: Man! Senator Mitch McConnell and the Boehner-Cantor-Ryan trio of Representatives from the House secretively meet all the time behind closed doors as to how to wreck havoc upon the constituents and get gerrymandering adopted on the national presidential level so that, essentially, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden would have lost the election and the voters of the United States disenfranchised and divided up even less than the “Three Fifths Compromise” granted to slaves.

M: Dude! “He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.”

D: Man! Michael Isikoff’s investigative journalism is trying to make a case against President Obama’s drone program? I think the guy’s unaware of the facts of just how many of our sons and daughters have sacrificed in the name of our nation. Does he know that there have been two weeks without any reports from the Pentagon of soldiers killed? Does he have the courage to demand that Newsweek and NBC cover the faces of the men and women who have sacrificed? And I don’t mean approximate numbers either! I mean actual faces of the wars fought! Talk about the convulsions within!

Man! Dude! Session #117



(M)an: Dude! How ‘bout them Ravens?

(D)ude: Man! World Champions!

M: Dude! As if the Turkish and the Cambodian will be competing any time soon!

D: Man! There ought to be a concept of democratic allegiance where everybody in the world can rationally look towards the hopes of dressing their little ones in custom fit sports jerseys made especially for tots and toddlers.

M: Dude! That would be a practical application for Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to strive towards in their worldwide charity work. When the African and Asian nations can produce offspring as robust and hardy as the United States, that’ll be the day I can look back and recall… If I make it far enough to see the Tea Party Republicans retract back into the whitewashed wilderness where their ideology belongs.

D: Man! Perpetrators of violent crimes retreat into the wilds of America.

M: Dude! The Republican Tea Party is comprised of perpetrators of the gravest crimes.

D: Man! Can you refresh my memory? I have had a bit too much to munch and waiting gastrointestinal settling and subsequent burp.

M: Dude! Regarding gastrointestinal releases, the GOP wants to redesign the presidential elections to reflect what essentially would be gerrymandering and billionaires buying out the White House for their own selfish interests.

D: Man! The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times claimed late last week that they had been cyber-attacked by Chinese computer hackers. They made their argument so convincingly that Twitter had to address they had been hacked too, but were certain the cyber-attackers were far more sophisticated than the Chinese computer hackers the newspapers had hastily blasted.

M: Dude! Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens figured out something that has been so inherently understood at previous championship matches of the National Football League that nobody openly discusses this crucial ingredient anymore. Do you think the Republican Tea Party mentality has infiltrated the AFC and NFC?

D: Man! I see where you are coming from… However, the AFC and NFC are still far more judicious than the Republican Party and Tea Party combined. In fact, we at least know that the Ravens are representing the topnotch of the American Football Conference and the 49ers are representing the best of the National Football Conference.

M: Dude! Unlike the membership of the Republican Tea Party, you can at least differentiate the National Football League and its membership. John Boehner and Eric Cantor, alongside Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, and Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan lest we forget their unsuccessful attempts at the American presidency, do not care to distinguish the fine lines between their tea stains and the GOP.

D: Man! Can you please help me out here! Which one’s the Wisconsinite and which one’s the Bostonian?

M: Dude! Scott Walker is the Wisconsinite cheat alongside Paul Ryan, and Scott Brown is the Bostonian June 1982 Cosmopolitan Magazine centerfold. His daughters unfortunately have inherited their father’s aversion towards appropriate attire, and opt for family photographs with minimum cover.

D: Man! You actually have an eye for other people’s adult daughters’ faux pas?

M: Dude! These men argue against preventative health initiatives for women, and yet their own daughters remain immune to the labels that our daughters have to endure for taking charge of their own bodies. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s scarlet lettering is apparent still in the new millennium and it must end.

D: Man! You got cretins on Faux New Channel and its affiliates.

M: Dude! Faux News Channel is the most obscene creation to come onto the airwaves. They rationalize such obnoxious and noxious cases for explicit violence amongst assemblies of folks.

D: Man! I can argue they are the reason for the perpetuation of hate and resentment that boil over onto our children’s collective unconscious. Give me a moment to collect my thoughts, unlike Bill O’Reilly and Megan McCain, and Megyn Kelly and Michael Graham.

M: Dude! Getting Jungian is far more relevant than any of the four offensives you just listed. Collective unconscious, huh? Interesting! I bet Bill O’Reilly, Megan McCain, Megyn Kelly, and Michael Graham have a collective nothingness in their hard drive.

D: Man! That’s just it! Hard drive! The Tea Party and the Republican GOP have a collective nothingness that makes them threats to the development of our sons and daughters’ hard drives.

M: Dude! The software is just as tainted as the hard drive, or our version of the Jungian collective unconscious, and needs to be deleted from the airwaves.

D: Man! Faux News Channel was provoking viewers to take their teeming emotional instability about President Obama winning a second term. They were sharing nonsense that the Secret Service men and women had clothed the president in at least forty pounds of bulletproof attire underneath his overcoat.

M: Dude! Faux News Channel is explicitly provocative and, yet, it is on the televisions at Harris Southwest off of Harris Parkway, a Methodist Church affiliate and top Fort Worth hospital that refuses to air NBC and MSNBC. I do not get it!

D: Man! I wonder how many of the Harris Southwest patients were tuning into Faux News Channel on January 16, 2013 when Megyn Kelly and Michael Graham were lewdly informing their religiously sensitive viewership about securing a name in the adult industry. Ahem! Ugh!

Man! Dude! Session #116




(D)ude: Man! Kentucky Senator Rand Paul was a flaming Republican last week, brandishing now-Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the hearing about Libya and the embassy bombing in Benghazi. Senator Rand acted like he was randomly inquiring about Turkey and when Secretary Clinton was not intimidated but rather taken quizzically by the randomness of Rand’s insistence about asking whether she was or was not aware of anything going on in Turkey, but all along Rand orchestrated with an undisclosed Republican Super-PAC to assist in the tragedy unfolding in Ankara, Turkey today.

(M)an: Dude! Benghazi, Libya is repeating itself again in Ankara, Turkey, the locale of yet another American Embassy bombing this morning.

D: Man! Can’t you see? It just is too obvious! Republican Senator Rand Paul and the Republican Party membership have strongholds abroad directed against the diplomatic and democratic efforts by President Obama’s Administration.

M: Dude! The reason behind President Obama’s choice of Chuck Hagel not panning well with the United States Senate Committee On Armed Services is Hagel’s move away from the Republican side to the more centrist leaning that would challenge the pocketbook politics of Armed Services Committee Members.

D: Man! And Senator Rand Paul brought up Cambodia during now-Former Senator from Massachusetts John Kerry’s confirmation hearing in front of the United States Senate Committee On Foreign Relations, the same committee on which Rand Paul sat and brandished about knowing more than then-Secretary of Defense Hillary Clinton. Do you think that we ought to be worrying about a reoccurrence of something horrendous happening in Cambodia on now-Secretary of Defense John Kerry’s watch?

M: Dude! The fight to end war and violence is not on the Republican Party agenda. They talk about Cambodia like they do not know that it is nestled by Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand that flows into the Pacific Ocean!

D: Man! What does the Republican Party want? War and violence all over the world map is being backed by the Tea Party brand of Republicanism, look at how oppressively Congress is choosing to operate with these meaningless hearings about which they would have no questions if President Obama were not African-American.

M: Dude! Tom Cruise’s last installment of the Mission Impossible film franchise was taped considerably in the United Arab Emirates, specifically Dubai. And recently, his son Connor’s birthday was sponsored by the vodka brand Grey Goose. And I know that actor Shah Rukh Khan and soccer player David Beckham have estates in the UAE.

D: Man! Shah Rukh Khan? David Beckham? Tom Cruise? Grey Goose? Did you know that Senator Rand Paul’s son was charged with assault last month? January 13, 2013 headlines read that William Hilton Paul assaulted a flight attendant. I think that the incidents listed against him were eventually declared misdemeanor offenses.

M: Dude! Look at us! We’re sidetracking from the fact that Senator Rand Paul is Kentuckian like Senator Mitch McConnell and they both do not choose to address one another’s presence as Arizona Senator John McCain has so conveniently been positioned on both the United States Armed Services and United States Foreign Relations Committees without the press once acknowledging this factoid.

D: Man! Kirstie Alley is a Scientologist like Tom Cruise and openly supports the Republican ticket, hence, Tom Cruise too is a rightwing sympathizer… The idea makes just as much sense as Rand Paul’s having known in advance of what would happen in Ankara, Turkey when he chided Hillary Clinton to the extent of sharing his preposterous proclamation that he would have relieved her of her duties for not knowing the exact specifics of who did what the night of the September 11, 2012 attack on the American embassy in Benghazi.

M: Dude! Senator Rand Paul meant to inquire about the state of terrorism in the world with Hillary Clinton and shot himself in the foot in the process by admitting that he and the Republican Tea Party factions in Congress armed and financed “the Jihadists” purposefully.

D: Man! I heard that line about the Republican Tea Party arming the Jihadists too!

M: Dude! John McCain and the Republicans on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees have to be brought to justice, but how to implement justice in this case or, more likely, cases, has me wondering if we are being purposefully mislead by Republican Super-PACs and New York Bestsellers like Glen Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and Newt Gingrich into going backwards to the times of the founding fathers and whoever else they have in mind to scrutinize so shallowly. Going back to the Constitution and the Articles of Confederation are arguments that perpetuate injustices like the “Three Fifths Compromise” which declared rules like the ones Virginia Representative and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor wants to implement in his state.

D: Man! That is so true! Virginia Representative and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor wants to reduce voter’s rights and honest representation by reducing the Urban populations to districting so that the Rural lowly populated counties and districts get counted with the same influence and voice as the highly populated cities. The individual American voter will essentially be reduced to a gerrymandered District Representative. Keep in mind that the 1965 Voting Rights Act is violated by the new system of unfairness being pushed in the State of Virginia by Congressional Republicans like Eric Cantor.

M: Dude! I believe the Republican Party financed the bombing in Ankara, Turkey today because the country of Turkey is an easy access into Iran, not to mention Iraq and Syria. Could it be that the Republican Party’s infiltrated these regions and populous to facilitate underhanded war contracts with the populations that provide US with oil and gas?

D: Man! If they have infested Cambodia and something is going to happen there, then the Republican Party is on its way into the businesses of China, with whom they have created false concerns about its major telecom equipment maker Huawei having sold to regimes like those in Saddam’s Iraq and the Taliban. But what about Motorola… Why isn’t it coming under equivalent scrutiny? Huh?
