I remember back in the 1990’s, one of my mother’s uncle’s came over to visit from Cuba. Tio Juan just called my parents up from Havana one day and said that he would be coming over for a visit, and to pick him up at the airport on a certain day. This guy was a little strange to say the least. My parents picked him up at the airport and took him out to eat; they also went to stores and the botanical gardens.

While he was here, I found out that the spoke English, Chinese, and Russian, 8 languages all-together. My mother told me that he was very smart, when he was a young man in Havana; he was studying to become a medical doctor. But, for some reason he did not finish his studies. Before Watergate occurred, some of the Cuban’s that eventually broke into the Watergate hotel went to Cuba and tried recruit him. He turned them down and they went back to the United States. He joked about that and said, “it was a good thing that I said no, or I would have done a 20 year stretch with them.” After my mother told me that, she said, “don’t ever tell anybody that.” That was the second time that I have ever had one of my parents use the phrase.

The first time was in the 70’s when my father told me his real name before he had it legally changed, it was Simone Domingo. While he was here he said some very strange things like “communism was the best thing since sliced bread.” My older brother who is a Cook County Corrections Officer, told me that he had said to him, “why don’t you come back to Cuba with me and I’ll get you a nice job with the Cuban secret police”. One time my family was having dinner with Tio Juan, my mother’s half brother Ray was there. He is a convicted sex offender that raped an alleged prostitute in the back seat of his car at knifepoint. He did five years in prison for that in the earlier 80’s. Tio Juan said to him during dinner, “you’re very nervous and jittery, you need to be more claim, like him.” He of course meant me, he turns to me and said, “I’ve been watching you, even at the store and on the street, you’re claim…that’s good.” He had told me that he had lived all over the world when he had been a young man; he said that he had even lived here in New York during the 1950’s and 60’s.

After several days he left and visited with other relatives in Florida, New Jersey, and California. Then he went back to Cuba. After he went back to Cuba, I saw photographs of him and my parents that my father had taken. One of the photos was at the airport, he and my mother were in it, and there was a big guy standing right behind him. I asked my mother who that was, and what she told me was very strange. She told me that it was a passenger that had been on the same flight as her Uncle, the man was from Canada. She also told me that just about everywhere they went, even the Botanical gardens the same thing happened. Passengers that had been on the same flight as him, kept going up to him, said hello in English, shook his hand, and walked away. They were from Spain, Canada, France, Mexico, Italy, Australia, and Venezuela. Just about every, except the United States.

What’s the deal with Michael Phelps? He’s a 23 yr. old man that makes 5 million a year and still lives at home with his mother. If I had made 5 million a year, when I was 23, I would have moved to another state. Michael also passed up on the traditional Wheats box for a sugary cereal, and claims that he takes in 12,000 calories a day? Not even bodybuilders and Sumo wrestlers consume 12,000 calories a day. He even calls his mother DP, is Michael Phelps out of his mind. I know that those are the initials of his mother’s name Debbie Phelps, who is a middle school principal. But, doesn’t he know what else DP stands for, I’ll give you a hint, it’s not Diversified Products. It stands for something that freaks do, no one in their right mind would call their mother that. Also, what is the deal with that lisp? Is Michael Phelps gay?

 

 

Maybe that’s the reason why his mother doesn’t want him to live on his own. Either, she thinks that he is not capable of living alone, or she thinks that if he ever left the nest, the gay boys would turn him like a dime.

 

I really hope that the American public wakes up soon and smartens up real fast. In case no one has noticed, things are getting kind of grim. A lot of Americans are losing their homes and having to sleep in their cars. If things get any worst, a lot more people will be joining them. An old Republican named McCain that owns 7 houses and represents 0.5 percent of the American population will not make things better for most Americans. If that man becomes the next president, I suspect that a lot of Americans will not survive his same old republican policies.

This is one of the strangest political campaigns that I have ever seen in my life. Exactly who is this Sara Palin woman? Two terms as a very small town council woman and two terms as a very small town mayor, in 2002 Palin ran for Lt. Governor of Alaska and lost. Four years later, she was elected as the governor of that state. Two very short years after that, she is now vice-president material? What in the hell is going on?

Someone did not just put her career on the fast track; someone put her career on the rocket-propelled track. This is unbelievable; Palin might have been the most qualified person in a very small town of only 7,000. Her good looks and popularity won her the governor’s election in Alaska. But, when it comes to national politics and the second highest office in the country. Palin is by far not the most qualified person.

Usually, it takes several decades for someone to get where Sara Palin is right now. It looks to me like someone is pulling strings and playing a very dangerous game with the country. Why in the world would an unknown be considered for vice-president, after only two short years as the governor of a state?

Ok, so who this Sara chick, I did a little research on goggle and this is what I found out. Sarah Louise Heath Palin, born on February 11, 1964 is the current governor of Alaska, and is the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee in the 2008 United States presidential election.

Palin served two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska, city council from 1992 to 1996, then won two terms as mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002. After an unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor of Alaska in 2002, she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 to 2004 while also serving as Ethics Supervisor of the commission.

On December 2006, Palin was sworn in as the governor of Alaska, becoming the first woman and youngest person to hold the office. She defeated incumbent Republican governor Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary and former Democratic governor Tony Knowles in the general election.

On August 29, 2008, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain announced that he had chosen Palin as his running mate. She is expected to be formally nominated at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. She would be the second woman to run for vice president on a major-party ticket and the first Republican to do so.

Palin was born Sarah Louise Heath in Sandpoint, Idaho, the third of four children of Sarah Heath, a school secretary, and Charles R. Heath, a science teacher and track coach. Her family moved to Alaska when she was an infant. As a child, she would sometimes go moose hunting with her father before school, and the family regularly ran 5K and 10K races.

Palin attended Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska, where she was the head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at the school and the point guard and captain of the school's basketball team. She helped the team win the Alaska small-school basketball championship in 1982, hitting a critical free throw in the last seconds of the game, despite having an ankle stress fracture at the time. She earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" because of her intense play and was the leader of team prayer before games.

In 1984, Palin won the Miss Wasilla beauty contest (according to most but not all sources, playing the flute and winning the "Miss Congeniality" award as well), then finished second in the Miss Alaska pageant, at which she won a college scholarship. Palin attended Hawaii Pacific College - now known as Hawaii Pacific University - in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1982 for a semester, where she majored in Business Administration, and transferred in 1983 to North Idaho College. In 1987 Palin received a Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho, where she also minored in political science. In 1988, she worked briefly as a sports reporter for KTUU-TV in Anchorage, Alaska, and helped in her husband’s family commercial fishing business.

Palin is an obvious over achiever and does have some political experience. However, Gov. Palin does not compare to Sen. Joe Biden, who has more then 30 years of experience as a U.S. Senator. For McCain to pick this woman as his running mate makes no sense at all. It was an obvious political ploy to get the female vote and stress the point that Obama passed on Sen. Clinton.

Why is there such an epidemic of binge drinking by most college and university students? With the presence of alcohol there is usually the presence of sex. Could this be related in some way to the ancient sex cults, such as the cult of wine? In Roman and Greek mythology, Dionysus was the god of wine and madness. The cult of wine was very secretive and legendary for its drunken orgies.

 

 

Could these cults still be around today, or similar cults that have the same bizarre sex rituals and practices? It wouldn’t be that much of a stretch of the imagination to consider that these types of things go on at colleges and universities.  When these people graduate, they do not cancel their memberships either. In theory, this might explain some of the very bizarre things that a lot of people do while at work, or in their private lives. I have read that the F.B.I. is very aware of this problem; there are even teenage sex cults in America. Perhaps, this type of problem could help to explain the amount of wide spread corruption in government. Society reflects government and vise-versa. The government is corrupt because so is society.

 

Scientists are now at the point where they will be able to develop completely invisible material in about 10 years from now. Such a break through in technology would a huge step forward for the military, intelligence, and police agencies.   However, if this type of technology ever got into the hands of the general public, it could be the beginning of the end. When people were asked what they would do with an invisible suit, everyone single one of them said in essence "they would use it to break the law and get away with it."

 

It is obvious that most of the public is insane to some extent; this type of technology would be disastrous in their hands. Just think of it, invisible murders, rapist, bank robbers, thieves, and invisible terrorists. It would be highly advisable that scientists come up with built in features, so law enforcement and intelligence agencies would be able to detect this new type of material.

Is Obama a fried chicken-eating dude? The answer is, I think not. Recently, after the passing of Isaac Hayes, I saw an interview on the BBC channel. It was a music industry friend of his, when asked what Isaac Hayes was really like. The man’s response was “he was a fried chicken eating dude.” I guess that’s the africian-american way of saying, he was a regular guy, or an ordinary Joe.  As in not a sophisticated learned man.

 

Obama went to Harvard University and won’t even eat ice cream; my vote will be for him. A democrat that wants change is better than a republican that represents a third Bush term. Therefore, I think that Obama will win by a landslide.  As for experience, this country is so messed up, that it would be a very difficult task for anyone to clean it up. A young democrat that stands for change is a much better choice than an old republican that represents the same old mess.

 So, John Edwards tapped an office hoe, who would have thought, Senator Edwards had an affair with the tart. But, another man is the father of her child? Seems like John Edwards wasn’t the only guy that was getting a piece of that action. Other “members” of his staff were also getting it on with little miss whore. Seems like the little “lady” might just have been hired just for that.

 

Oh well, another pervert exposed in the wonderful world of politics, it makes one wonder what the rest of those people do? I guess that’s to be expected in a country that suffers from a Madonna-Whore complex. There is hypocrisy everywhere in America, including the media. Everyone stresses the importance of a good education. But, every year there is the list of America’s top party schools. Plus the debauchery that goes on at spring break, what does it say about this country when the finest and brightest college students engaged in such behavior?

 

It’s no wonder why “Girls gone wild” made such a huge profit, for the price of a cool t-shirt or baseball hat, horny young girls took their tops off on camera. I’m guessing that it wasn’t much of an effort to get them to do so. Because that’s what spring break is all about, sex and alcohol, that’s why those college kids go to spring break. That type of behavior doesn’t end after their college days are over.  What does it say about a country that has Playboy, Hustler, Penthouse, and a multi billion dollar a year porno industry that has been legalized? That typed of behavior is everywhere, because this is a country full of crazed sex pigs. Morals, ethics, honor, justice, wholesome, these words are no longer used in American society any more. It’s all about getting what you can and getting away with it. Lie, cheat, and steal in order to get ahead. The truth of the matter is that this country is not a puritanical society, it is a hedonistic one. As those freaks would say, “you gotta get it where you can” that would explain a lot of what goes on in this country. Those people are even willing to destroy someone’s life in order to cover up their dirty little secrets.

Omg, shaft found dead by a treadmill, holy BLEEP, is that stuff for real? Are you sure it wasn’t found dead by a peanut butter, bacon, and banana sandwich and a two pound bag of marijuana? I hear that cool hydroponic pot is more potent than a motherBLEEPer. God damn, found dead by a treadmill, that’s enough to scare every fat black boy in America from exercising. It must have been the pot, or a whole lot of pork. Oh man, that’s it, from now on I’m getting my work out by doing bitches.

It is obvious that things are getting out of hand, more and more violent crimes are occurring in the city each day. It’s getting to the point where decent law abiding citizens are no longer safe, not even in their own homes. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I believe that the city should get rid of all the dangerous criminals and hoodlums to ensure the safety of the law-abiding residents of the city. By not allowing this dangerous element back into the city, the residents of Chicago would be a lot safer. After all, it’s not law-abiding citizens that are causing all the problems, it’s bad element that has a history of such behavior.

New laws and policies have to be enacted in order to ensure the publics safety. Otherwise, it’s just a revolving door of dangerous criminals coming back into the city. Jails and prisons don’t seem to be rehabilitating anyone. Dangerous criminals that break the law and go to jail, when released they just go back to doing the same things as before.

In grizzly bear country, when a grizzly becomes dangerous, it is tagged and relocated. If the grizzly goes back to the same place, it becomes a threat and is put down. In the same manner, when a criminal becomes too dangerous, they should be tagged and relocated, if they come back, they go to prison.

After a 17-month investigation by the federal government, Patrick Fitzgerald the Illinois U.S. Attorney announces that changes must be made at the jail. Harsh treatment, verbal abuse, serves beatings by correctional officers, unsanitary conditions, inadequate health care, unnecessary amputations and three suicides as stated by the federal report.

 

After all of that, The Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart response was that the federal government’s finds were unfair to his reform program. It was unfair and unprofessional for the federal government to send in uncover agents to find out exactly what was going on inside the jail. Why is uncovering a massive culture of corruption unfair? Cook County jail is the largest facility of it’s kind in the nation with 9,500 inmates, and it only has one dentist. That is one reform program to be proud of.

Finally, after many years of madness, the original good ol' boy, Senator Jesse Helms is laid to rest. The man was an ignorant country rube and completely out of his mind. He actually voted against Aids research. If you knew about a virus that could potentially kill you and wipe out most of humanity, would you say no to finding a cure?

The man from West Virginia was not playing with a full deck. Or, perhaps he was playing with the stars and bars deck, muck like Senator Byrd. He at one time was a clan leader down south; it's no wonder why this country has had so many troubles. Just look at the type of people that were in charge of running it. 

 

Sen. Helms, in appears, reminds me of another "odd fellow" in Washington. John Edger Hoover. JEH was really a woman on the inside that had a life long bromance with another dude. From time to time, he even went out dressed as a female. Times have sure changed since then. That type of faggotry will still kill a career. Perhaps, it's all for the greater good. That probably sounds a lot like Mein Kempf, but it's really not.

Recently on an episode of Hispanics Today, I saw a story about NASA's Constellation Project. Looks like the government feels that there is a need to colonized the moon.  The United States government plans on returning to the moon by the year 2020, and colonizing.  From what I heard on that segment, the colonist will be staying on the moon for many years. My question is why does the government feel that there is a need to go to the moon and stay there? I would think that this would be a bit of a burden on U.S. taxpayers.

 

What would the government get out of colonized the moon? The government is just like a business. No one in his or her right mind plans on building a facility somewhere, without making a profit from it. I understand that NASA operates on money allocated from the U.S. government, and the Constellation project has a budget. But, why should the government spend money on going back to the moon and colonized it? When times are so tough these days, perhaps that money would be better spent elsewhere. 

F r e e S c h a p e l l e . n e t   When I flew to Bali on 8 October 2004, I imagined my biggest problem was going to be deciding which sarong to wear with which bikini… - Schapelle Corby. Schapelle Leigh Corby, a 27 year old Australian was traveling to Bali Indonesia to celebrate her sister's birthday. But her dream holiday ended up a waking nightmare when on October 8, 2004, Schapelle was arrested in the Denpassar airport after 4.2 kilograms of marijuana was found in her boogie-board bag. Though completely innocent, Schapelle was forced to face the consequences of someone else's crime. Her fate would be decided on May 27 2005 in the Denpassar District Court. Schapelle's trial and conviction became one of the biggest news stories of the decade in Australia. An entire nation watched in horror as she was sentenced to twenty years in jail. Despite legal appeals and a whole nation calling for her release, Schapelle Corby remains in the squalor of Kerobokan Prison [Bali]. Every day is a struggle for survival but Schapelle is determined in her fight for justice. She steadfastly maintains her innocence! Schapelle Corby is a kind and compassionate young woman, a loving sister, a loyal friend and faithful daughter. She does not deserve what's happened to her but will keep fighting against insurmountable odds until freedom is hers! 'I long to be free and live again outside these walls… I will never understand why this happened to me. Why my bag… Right now I'm empty, lost and numb... It's been so long since I've felt peaceful and happy. So long since I've smiled and laughed on the inside and out… I sound like a broken record but I will keep saying it: I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent.' - Quotes from Schapelle's book 'My Story'. 'There is no chance, no fate, no destiny that can circumvent, or hinder, or control a firm resolve of a determined soul.' Schapelle Corby 'could work her way free' Potential leader ... Schapelle Corby is a very good prisoner, the outgoing head of her jail said. CONVICTED Australian drug trafficker Schapelle Corby may be up for a prison job that could shave years off the 20-year sentence she is serving in an Indonesian jail. The outgoing head of Bali's Kerobokan Prison today said Corby should be made an inmates' leader - a role that could see up to 11 months cut from her sentence each year. Corby, who last month lost her final appeal against her sentence, was a "very good" prisoner, Ilham Djaya said. He said she should be considered for the role of Tamping, where she would lead a small group of prisoners, or the key role of Pemuka, who oversees the Tamping leaders. Should Corby make the rank of Pemuka, she could be eligible for sentence cuts of up to 11 months every year, Mr Djaya said. Smaller remissions apply to Tamping leaders. Mr Djaya offered his support for Corby despite the former Gold Coast beauty student's controversial stint at Kerobokan. Since her detention almost four years ago for cannabis smuggling, Corby has written a book describing the prison as a "disgusting slum". She missed out on a sentence remission last year after she was found with a mobile phone in her cell. I just want to go home, says Schapelle SCHAPELLE Corby fought back tears yesterday as she told how she wants to go home as soon as possible, joking with the departing Bali jail governor that she "would like to be leaving" with him. It was the first time the 30-year-old has spoken publicly since her last ditch appeal was dismissed by Indonesia's highest court last month. At a farewell ceremony for the popular jail boss Ilham Djaya, Corby's lawyer Erwin Siregar spoke with her briefly about the lost appeal and about the next steps in the fight to have her freed. Corby's despair and tears at her failure to beat a 20-year jail sentence for possession of 4.1kg of marijuana came just a day after two highly ranked Jemaah Islamiah terrorist leaders were jailed for less time - 15 years - for possession of a massive cache of weapons and explosives to be used in terror attacks. Corby has final appeal rejected Schapelle Corby has had her final appeal for a sentence reduction rejected by the Indonesian Supreme Court. Court officials are yet to make the formal announcement, however they are tonight expected to confirm that Corby will be required to complete a 20-year jail sentence for drug smuggling. The former Queensland beautician was caught trying to import just over 4 kilograms of marihuana into Bali's Denpasar Airport in August 2004. Through a series of appeals, Corby has failed in her bid to reduce the overall jail sentence. Recent speculation has pointed to the possibility that Schapelle Corby may be transferred to an Australian prison, where she would serve out the remaining time in her sentence. With the sentence confirmed as 20-years, Corby is now likely to be in prison until at least 2020. SCHAPELLE CORBY Sentenced to 20 Years in Bali for what? The Facts are… Schapelle checked in her bag at Brisbane airport and neither she, nor her travelling companions, had any contact with it until after it arrived in Bali. Schapelle's travelling companion's luggage and Schapelle's own luggage were also never searched. Neither the Indonesian nor the Australian governments wanted to, or did investigate this case. There was no investigation into where or how Schapelle intended to sell the marijuana, if indeed the Bali police truly believed her guilty. The Bali Police refused to analyse the marijuana that convicted her. Hair from those who grew it would be in the resin. They didn't want anyone to investigate. Later, this marijuana was destroyed, obliterating any chance it could be used to acquit Schapelle. A Victim of Injustice… It Can happen to You! The Australian Federal government failed to pass on to Schapelle Corby's lawyers a Customs report into drug smuggling at Australian airports. It said it never knew the document existed. The report revealed that baggage handlers were diverting bags containing large amounts of drugs from incoming international flights to domestic baggage carousels. Schapelle Corby checked her luggage in at Brisbane airport and that was the last contact she had with her luggage until she arrived in Bali. In Sydney, her boogie board had been too big for the conveyor, so Qantas baggage handlers loaded it on a trolley, hauled it to Pier C where it was left unattended for 97 minutes, until half an hour before the Bali flight's departure. It was then loaded into a baggage canister which contained two other bags. This canister was closed by a canvas flap but not locked. The CCTV recorded images that might have shown Schapelle's boogie board loaded into the canister were wiped after 72 hours. Australian Federal Police (AFP) now openly admit that drug dealers are known to use innocent travellers as unsuspecting drug mules. 9.9kgs of cocaine was smuggled into Sydney airport from Argentina on the 8th October 2004, the same day, within minutes of Schapelle Corby's flight to Bali. AFP confirmed that trafficking through airports does happen. The drugs are inserted into a piece of luggage at one airport, a photograph of the target bag and its tag are sent [emailed] to the destination airport, where baggage handlers remove the drugs before the passenger collects the bag.
