Now that women are joining in the spoils and fame of politics in america it's not unusal to see a pretty blonde govonor or lady senator in trouble for some minor violation of the ethics code. Yes, the good old boys of fifty years or more ago could get away with misfeasance as politicans but my how the current news media like to spinkel the internet with sad pictures of female politicans in situations of damsels in distress over minor violations. 

I like it too at some level but lets give the ladies a break and respect their position and give them a chance to learn the ropes of politics as usual. 

worst lightening strikes in history

 worst lightening strikes in history

fiction

edward w pritchard

Lightening frightens us all. It's not unusual to have reports unverified and less than scientific that lightning killed up to 300 persons in ancient babylonian times or native americans at youngstown ohio sometime in the past. Of course there are no scientific provable witness collaborations. Although there at Youngstown there is a large rock that was split !/3 2/3rds by gods' wrath, lightning. 

But what of lightning strikes on distant galaxies that perhaps wiped up to billions [ 300 billion] life sources?

sometime in the distant past with no witnesses or collaboration. A tragedy indeed long since forgotten or unknown. 

Don't carry an umbrella in a lightning storm. There is a connection between god's moods and lightning deaths among sentient beings. Be safe around lightning, although the odds of being emulsified are low its an absurd way to go.

 wealth longevity and the secret of it all, etc

fiction

Sometimes I remember the time I was at a nice hotel in new orleans with the kids safely in bed, the wife asleep that I shuffled  out through the rainstorm and went to a small club and heard a formerly beautiful once a near celebrity with a record or two  black torch singer doing " I get the blues when it rains". as I recall I bought her a drink anomously and was depressed when I saw such a talent walking home alone through the back streets of new orleans to her run down apartment [I  supposed. and her grey hair dripping in the drizzling rain] as she stumbled along. 

America the beautiful, the sad Indians at Taos, up from slavery for folks moving north, and super inflation lurking around this corner of our future. 

If Alexander Hamliton hadn't been shot he could help President Trump get through the next few years.

Mr Trump, my you certainly do keep busy. Even in my most large delusions I can't keep up with your day to day life. 

I hope things go well for you, as I always respect our ex presidents but I am confused and a little worried by your latest predictament. 

Here's  what I originally wrote you when you first became our President:

PS maybe the FBI would backoff if you would negotiate a pause with Mr Putin to his war in the Ukraine, at the very least it would take your mind off your own problems.

Congratulations on your election in becoming our Country's new President. We wish you continued good health and continued success in your new assignment.

Tonight new President Trump consider all the light, heat and energy produced and consumed by all of the magnificent Properties throughout the World you own and manage. Additionally consider all of your employees and their families you have paternalistic-ally been responsible for as their employer over the last forty years of your life and the how you indirectly created the security that allowed your employees to thrive. Soon, President Trump you will be responsible in a similar way for the safety, security and to some extent welfare of over three hundred million Americans and indirectly as leader of the premier nation economically on Earth of the remainder of the six billion plus citizens of our planet. It is an awesome responsibility you have assumed.

New President Trump as you successfully manage the challenges and responsibilities of your new assignment and your Power grows exponentially as the one of the World's most important citizen's remember the Power of all the light, heat and energy produced and consumed by the trillions of stars and billions of galaxies across the vast and timeless universe and may you recognize our place in it all.

Americans are scratching their heads as they watch all the large cap super duper stocks crash and with it their delusions about permanent prosperity and endless riches. Us baby boomers have gotten old and we are getting swept out along with our delusions and ideals. 

Don't despair ask original beatles drummer Pete Best who was replaced just before the fab four hit the big time what it's like to be thrown out with the trash. 

Watch your sacred stocks and investment like fine homes, expensive cars and meta stocks crash and throw you to the junk pile with them. Your old dude. It's time for a new paradigm and your not invited. 

I liked Ringo Star a lot but Pete Best didn't seem like such a bad guy. Things have changed, try to make yourself comfortable baby boomer when you are uncerimoniously tossed on to the trash pile.

When a stock has crashed and former investors keep hanging on , desperately buying more and more to average down on manipulated dips and buying occasionally more, more, more  on the ravings of mad men;  they call those hangers on,  those gullible saps,  the baggies, that is bag holders, holding a bag of worthless garbage. Baggies are all delusional but in a nice, hopeful, patient way. 

America has crashed and former patriots keep hanging on desperately becoming more and more optomistic

desperately hoping that  a decaying document of 18th century values will rejuvenate  a dying nation.

 Dismantle the war machines and worship of wealth America- times have changed. Listen to the falling soft rains, a few minutes pre dawn. Rain, the greatest commodity in the universe, to erase our sins.

There are none of the minor actors in Shakespeare or other playwrights except Death who waits backstage clear till act five to give his few lines on the death of Kings. In real life when Death sits at the bedside of the poor soul with Alzheimer's disease does Death wait and wait months and years indifferently to finish his lines until after a short eternity Death mumbles his final denouement. Only then does the audience shuffle off, heads hung down, with confused emotions.
