We love you too much, Joe! Don't take on the grief of a presidential election! Damn the pundits and the press!

(D)ude: Man! What do you make of the possibility of ancient civilizations having existed on the planet Mars?

(M)an: Dude! They keep reporting that there is a figure of a Martian Buddha, but I beg to differ and believe instead that the figure is more of a Martian interpretation of the Venus of Willendorf, or as academia has chosen to identify her nowadays as the Woman of Willendorf. Remember her? The statuette that was discovered in Austria in 1908 by the workmen of the archaeologists who were excavating a paleolithic site at the time of the discovery.

D: Man! Yeah! There is speculation as to the purpose of the plaits on her head, whether an actual hairstyle or headgear. I think there is hesitation over this matter because of the inconveniences to Europeans who deep down in their souls suspect Afro-textured hair. 

M: Dude! The inconveniences of the truth that we are one race, the human race, as Toni Morrison reiterates in her interviews? I agree!  

D: Man! There are the inconveniences of human racism and the socioeconomic status constructs like class and caste. 

M: Dude! True. Do you think the Red Planet [Mars] is forewarning of humankind’s demise through the destruction and death of American Democracy by the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling, which handed the American Government over to the elitists?  

D: Man! American Democracy is dying fast. The American Press Corps is backing the elite who are supremacists at the core. Look at President Bill Clinton’s foundation, a two billion dollar enterprise that has propelled him and his family into the self-aggrandizement business of charity and philanthropy. 

M: Dude! It is a really cruel business, charity and philanthropy. President Bill Clinton actually committed heresy with the far right wing of the political spectrum when he oversaw welfare reform during his time in the White House due to his personal lack of self restraint. And the same mechanics are being played out with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. Like Clinton, Netanyahu’s personal lack of self restraint has cost him the good sense to not be held hostage by the far right wing of the American political spectrum, specifically the Bush Dynasty and its affiliates and associates like the NRA, GOP TEA, and inside the Democratic Party via the TEABAG DEMS. 

D: Man! Speaking of cruelty, the American Press Corps is really tearing apart Vice President Joe Biden, with MSNBC’s TEABAG DEMS like Andrea Mitchell and ABC News’ Jonathan Karl smugly insisting on questioning Joe Biden’s inconsistencies, including interpreting his words as being targeted attacks towards other cabinet members, past and present, in the Obama Administration, including Hillary Rodham Clinton and John F. Kerry. The Vice President should not sacrifice himself physically for the political panderers in the American Press Corps and the Republican Party, both trying to cater and profit off of the weaknesses and vices of the grieving father. Beau’s children deserve their grandfather’s active presence in their lives as they grow up, Dr. Jill cannot sustain the family alone and I am frightened by the decline in the Vice President’s health over the last several months. I love Joe!    

M: Dude! I love Joe too! I am so afraid for the Vice President right now. Vice President Biden must sustain his family through this critical period of time, not even a year has gone by since Beau’s untimely passing and the vile press and pundits alike are hatcheting his presence and parsing his words. 

D: Man! The press and pundits make me sick! 

M: Dude! The press and pundits are in the pockets of the status quo, specifically the far right-wing business class. 

D: Man! James Carville gave the most courageous answers to speculations about the Benghazi Committee Hearing tomorrow where Hillary Rodham Clinton will be testifying once again. South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy is nothing but a hustler for his handlers, the Koch Brothers and Rupert Murdoch.

M: Dude! I think the press and pundits are viciously focused on Joe Biden not being able to make it through his final year as President Obama’s Vice President.  

D: Man! Why?

M: Dude! The press and pundits do not want Joe Biden to write his memoirs. 

D: Man! What?

M: Dude! It has happened before in the history of democracies. Plato’s writings only tell of the character and the contributions of Socrates. Likewise, President Obama needs to make certain that he does not become another Plato, left to write about his Socratic gem who is Joe Biden.

D: Man! Seriously, Joe Biden is Socrates to Barack Obama’s Plato?

M: Dude! Vice President Joe Biden will not become Socrates to President Barack Obama’s Plato! He will survive and get through this impossibly devastating time and write his memoirs. Socrates shall write his memoirs and Plato shall read and review them as shall all of US!

Assessment and Recovery Beforehand: Infrastructure in the United States of America

Man! Dude! Session #351

(M)an: Dude! South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley speaks about assessment and recovery efforts underway right now in the wake of the devastating deluge that has hit her state. But why not invest in assessment and recovery beforehand by passing infrastructure legislation that had been disparately needed, with the levees and dams being secured in place to not allow them to break and bring on the onslaught of treacherous waters that have engulfed almost the entire state?

(D)ude: Man! South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley held a press conference on Monday in which she pleaded for victims to not take photographs of the devastation and its aftermath, insisting that the press and authorities were already collecting sufficient evidence of the damages, including photographs.

M: Dude! The news headlines this morning and throughout the afternoon have been about nuclear weapons being smuggled into ISIS. But nobody has managed to put the pieces of this latest terribly flawed planning by the TEA GOP Republicans to sabotage the Obama Administration’s efforts to keep our sons and daughters in uniform out of unnecessary harm and ineffective positions as military advisors rather than the ineffective and outdated boots on the ground strategy of all the presidential contenders in the Republican Party.

D: Man! There still are a considerable number of Republican TEA GOP contenders in the 2016 presidential race. Donald J. Trump has admitted that he is in it to attract large audiences to the Republican debates. But this Medusa monstrosity that the GOP has formulated is in serious need of shampoo and conditioner. So far, all the Republican contenders continue to lather their appointed strand of hair with Evian water! Also, have you noticed how Jeb Bush always runs his campaign stomps indoors? I have yet to see him sweat it out in the sunlight. 

M: Dude! Bram Stoker had a brilliant sense of humor that has been overlooked. If you read his masterpiece, you will notice how unfairly Dracula has been misinterpreted. Bram Stoker’s horror is laced with dark comedy. It’s the antidote to all modern films exploring the descendants of Lucifer needing to be exorcised. The way Dracula suffers at the sight of the crucifix is not meant to scare, but to bring to consciousness the possibility of even Christians having taken their religious rituals too far. It is also meant to bring a smile to one’s face in the face of such decadence that humanity aspires towards privately and, having indulged, publicly chastises itself to an uncomfortable and unnecessary ickiness. I think Bram Stoker had had it with evangelical fervor and catholic hierarchies.

D: Man! Jimmy Swaggart and Timothy M. Dolan?  

M: Dude! The two men you mention have a lot in common, don’t they?

D: Man! Uncomfortable and unnecessary ickiness?

M: Dude! Perhaps, of course, and definitely. 

D: Man! The Louisianan televangelist Jimmy Swaggart and the Archbishop of New York Timothy Dolan are cringe-worthy, bad apples. They are disrespectful and obscene. Frances Swaggart’s two-hour show is rated TV-General Audience as is Sesame Street, but all the SonLife Broadcasting Network shows must be reassessed and reassigned another designation, specifically TV-Mature Audience. Donnie Swaggart gives explicit description of the types of violence that ISIS/ISIL is expressing towards Christians in the Middle East and the surrounds, going as far as to describe Christian children subjected to having their fingers mutilated. SonLife Broadcasting Network is too gross for me to allow my nieces and nephews to watch any of it’s programming.

M: Dude! SonLife Broadcasting Network spreads Islamophobia around the world by insisting that ISIS/ISIL is Muslim. ISIS/ISIL is haram and the direct result of the actions of the TEA GOP Republicans led by John McCain and Lindsey Graham and the Teabag Democrats led by Chuck Schumer and Bob Menendez. 

D: Man! Haram versus hilal? Something that is not approved by Islam versus something that is approved in Islam, like Kosher and non-Kosher?

M: Dude! You’re on the right track. Speaking of traveling on the wrong path, did you see Timothy Dolan’s incessantly, rudely, and inappropriately pointing his finger at believers and admirers of Pope Francis when His Holiness was visiting New York City?

D: Man! Archbishop Dolan has abused his role as a leader by being an all-out pervert and jerk! He is more of a bawdy court jester than a leader, and a bad role model for new seminarians. And I speak specifically of his accompanying Pope Francis to Ground Zero and, later, Our Lady Queen of Angels School. Dolan came across as hurried and emotionally hollow at Ground Zero. His predatory inhibitions shown inside the classroom with the teachers and third and fourth graders, at many points the Secret Service agents assigned to protect His Holiness having to establish physical barriers to any opportunity Archbishop Dolan foresaw to come up against the women present in the classroom. In fact, the teachers were protecting their students from the predatory Dolan whilst the Secret Service agents attempted to protect the teachers on top of their duty to protect their primary concern, that being Pope Francis’ safety.

M: Dude! Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan is a predator! Did you see how he placed his arm around the shoulders of one of the teachers and pulled her close to him in order to give her a creepy kiss on the cheek? 

D: Man! Timothy M. Dolan is reprehensible! The GOP TEA Republicans are reprehensible! And SonLife Broadcasting Network is reprehensible! And, get this, all three are being paid by the TEA GOP Super-PACs since the SCOTUS’s Citizens United decision basically collapsed all systems of campaign finance reform and paper trailing in 2010. 

M: Dude! Hence, you’ve got to piece together the obvious obfuscations of the GOP TEA Republicans and their Teabag Democrat counterparts.

D: Man! Flu shot season will be underway in a week and a half or so. The GOP TEA and Teabag Representatives and Senators in the United States Congress should have their bums micro chipped with a Global Positioning System so that the United States Military can Google Earth their whereabouts and track their excursions overseas. Their physicians can be informed of this undertaking because the GOP TEA and Teabags don’t have the reading or writing capabilities to decipher anything except disrupting Secretary John Kerry’s work and blaming President Obama’s Administration for the mishaps that they themselves, the GOP TEA and Teabags, orchestrated.

M: Dude! The GOP TEA and Teabags do not have the reading comprehension skills needed to fully exercise their duties in Congress as Representatives and Senators. They’re only capable of leaking to the American press corps everything classified and unclassified so that the American press corps can read and write on the TEA GOP and Teabags’ behalf.

D: Man! The GOP TEA and Teabags’ strategy for controlling ISIS/ISIL is through utilization of counterfeit dollars in financial transactions with such enemies overseas. With the bum GPS installed within the constitutions of the TEA GOP and Teabags, the United States Military will be able to see how these GOP TEA and Teabag traitors managed to, for example, hand over that fleet of Toyota trucks to ISIS/ISIL.

M: Dude! War is not a solution and, in the new millennium especially, never an option. It is only a means to prolong human misery.

D: Man! War is only a means to prolong human miseries, by giving way to genocidal tendencies by the status quo, who are, in other words these days, the top two percenters who control all the world’s wealth.

M: Dude! Ora pro nobis!
