Down They All Go

No, not Flushing, New York, the city in Queens where my beloved New York Mets played at Shea Stadium. I’m talking about flushing, the verb.

It’s my proposal for a constitutional amendment mandating a total flushing from the Washington beltway all politicians, lobbyists, journalists and correspondents every sixteen years — the Flushteenth Amendment.

We have witnessed members of both parties ignoring the wishes and needs of the people and are instead marching to the drummer of their own re-election and party ideology.

And everyone was upset that George Bush spend five minutes finishing reading a book to little kids once he learned that airliners had crashed into the World Trade Center.

So, we have a near miss on Christmas Day in Detroit, and Obama, who swore to fight to protect us, is still in Hawaii, playing golf, tennis and enjoying his Christmas.

Granted the incidents were quite different, but the Obama ass kissers would never complain about Obama’s seeming indifference as they did to Bush’s reasonable hesitation so as not to alarm the kids he was reading to.

Deadly Obstretician

From Senator Obama: “Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t’ want them punished …. With an STD.”

That’s punished with a baby, conception as a mistake.

The question is basic chicken or the egg. Does contemporary leftism make one a wimp or are natural born wimps naturally attracted to contemporary leftism?

Bertram “Jimmy” James

I got to wondering about this when reading about the death a few weeks ago in Great Britain of RAF Squadron Leader Bertram James, who had been shot down by the Luftwaffe in June 1940 and subsequently captured by the Germans. During his five year imprisonment, James (called “Jimmy”) tried to escape thirteen times from a number of different stalags.

Back in the sixties, during my singing/dancing career in New York, a dancer friend, Bill B., was asked to choreograph the act of a Pat Suzuki wannabe in Vegas. Ms. Suzuki was a young Japanese who rose to modest fame in the Rodgers & Hammerstein Broadway production of Flower Drum Song singing I Enjoy Being A Girl. (Incidentally, Flower Drum Song was directed by Gene Kelly and starred perennial Asian actors like Keye Luke — Kung Fu’s blind master Po, and the late Jack Soo of Barney Miller fame.)

The famous question seventeen-year old Laetitia Thompson offered Bill Clinton on the Washington D.C. set of MTV’s Rock the Vote during the 1992 presidential campaign should never have been answered. She asked, “All the world’s dying to know — boxers or briefs?”

I doubt the world was really dying to know. The question was chosen to titillate and to draw attention to Ms. Thompson. We weren’t aware at the time how obsessed Clinton was with what goes on below his belt so instead of ignoring her with a polite “Thank you, next question,” he gave the moment traction and answered, “usually briefs.”

In a story yesterday, Sunday, a female NPR hostess acknowledged in the flat, emotionless voice these water-carrying liberal lackeys use to create an image of objectivity, that it was Veterans Day, a day created to celebrate the cessation of hostilities of World War I, which formally ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

Lots of interesting stuff in today’s Wall Street Journal.

CEO’s

The first item of interest is the Danish study indicating that a company’s profitability fell by an average of 20% in the two years after the death of its CEO’s child and by 15% after the death of the CEO’s wife. So it would seem that shareholders would be wise to keep tabs on the personal lives of the CEO’s running the companies in which they own stock. A death in the family, sell.

Now that President Bush is at the end of his second term and a lame duck, Richard Carmona, his Surgeon General finds the “courage” to testify against the president for “censoring his speeches to match administration political positions.”

He says he was prevented from giving the public accurate, scientific information on such issues as stem-cell research and teen pregnancy prevention.
