Reason and Pulling the Plug

When you eliminate reason, you allow emotion to rule. Reason is black and white, but emotion casts a gray shadow over everything. For example, pulling the plug - I was watching an episode of "Lost" and one of the scenes had someone in a coma, pulling the plug type of situation. Someone made a good point "don't confuse guilt with hope". I think humans too often do that and if they just stepped back and realized that the two are separate and distinct it would be easier to face many of life's toughest decisions.

Emotion

I can't think of any one area that better prays on people's emotions than religion. Politics does it too, but religion has it perfected. Once you are able to manipulate someone's emotions than you have power. Catholicism has it down to a science. Cults, however, have one up on Catholicism. It's just too bad that they usually don't survive long enough to make much of an impact. Tradition has its ability to manipulate emotions as well. Religion combines tradition, fear and guilt all of which beautifully compliment each other to result in emotional manipulation. Once you have achieved that the rest is easy. The money and power will follow.

A New Reason to Hate

Well, congratulations to President Obama, you have given me a new reason to hate. That's right I am not impressed by your Kenyan birth papers that have been forged to become you were born in America. The stock market has tanked on your first day in office. I guess the economy is like me and less impressed and in awe by "the back of the bus story moves to the front of bus". Thank God - I've had it with the "black card" being played. Enough already. You're black we get it. I'm Jewish. Everyone has their cross to bear. I have been biting my Daddy and his Mommy and I refuse to come out of my cage and banging my head since Obama took office. They don't seem to understand how distraught, disgusted and angered I am by what this country has become. It's appalling to think that just a short time ago Martin Luther King had "a dream". His dream has become my nightmare. I can't take one more episode of 60 Minutes with Obama and one more Time Magazine cover with his awkward head plastered on the cover. For the love of God the press needs to realize that this coverage is totally unnecessary and it's only going to make it when the "real event happens" seem smaller. They just love Obama, well I am the first one to say that I hate him. To that end I am forming the "Obama Out" organization. We intend to get him out any way possible.

Seagulls are Bottom Feeders

So, my friends the hawks are reporting to me that my Mommy is fraternizing with the seagulls. It disgusts me to my core. I wish she would make friends with the sharks over the seagulls. Apparently, now she is feeding them out of her hand. How absolutely repulsive and insulting to me it is as I sit here rotting in Chicopee State Prison.

The Pinch Method

The pinch method is a form of discipline that my beloved Mommy has devised. It is employeed when little bastards, as she calls them, proceed to act up or whisper or do anything that makes her have to pour a glass of wine to calm down. Today, my Mommy called me and explained how she dealt with 2 kids in the condo and how her Mommy gave the 2 little bastards dominoes to play with on a tile floor. It took me awhile to understand my Mommy's call because she was slightly inerberated. She said that she needed two glasses of wine to deal with the noise of it all and chaos. I told her to tell her Mommy that the dominoes are going off the balcony and that will end that.

Torture in Chicopee

Well, I'm here in Chicopee serving another sentence. Thanks to all my friends, grandparents, aunts and uncles, who did not take me in for the 3 months that my Mommy is gone. In addition to the Westerns with the blazing gun fire, the crazy sister and the guards, my Daddy has instituted a new form of torture - water boarding. That's right nearly on a daily basis my Daddy takes me into the bathroom usually in the morning for my torture session. He calls it a bath, I call it TORTURE!

The Strip

I keep hearing about "the Strip" and I've decided that I am going to take a trip there. I hear about the great night life, the fabulous light shows for free, the buffets, the beautiful weather, friendly people and how you can walk to everything. Anderson Cooper keeps talking about the Strip and it seems to be the new hot spot to visit. Also, I hear the resorts are spectacular, but it can be a bit of a mob scene if you will with the herds of people. That's right I am booking my trip to Gaza.
