Tonight's Pussy.
Done.
(3)
Today has 'fired' Ann Curry! Barfalonicus. Seems that the ratings of 'The Today Show' (NBC) have recently declined below the ratings of ABC's competing morning show. Ann, apparently is the 'official scape goat.' NBC apparently thinks that replacing Ann Curry with Savanna Guthrie will restore NBC to its previous morning dominance. They seem to think that 'we the people' do not like Ann Curry and that we will like Savanna Guthrie more. Eheh. I doubt it but I could be wrong.
Both women are beautiful. No doubt about it. But Ann is half Japanese, a big plus with me. Savanna, on the other hand, is a lawyer, a big minus with me (I do not like lawyers). NBC apparently thinks that the real problem - the lack of 'chemistry' between Ann Curry and Matt Lauer - is largely unknown to most fans. NBC has therefore foisted the 'racial theory' on TV viewers.
I am a long-time 'Today watcher' from the late '80s. Back then the show was a two-hour show. But even then I found it convenient to push the 'fast forward button' in order to skip stuff which did not interest me. There was a lot of that 'stuff.' I got really good at managing the Fast Forward button.
Today expanded to three hours, then to four hours. A fifth hour began showing up after midnight several months ago! (Probably a rerun.) I got really, really, good at rooting out TMI. I also got really, really good at using the TiVo FF Button.
I have yet to delete Today from my TiVo schedule.
But stay tuned.

Stingy Money Talks, Votes.
(2)
Done. I should also mention that the plumber's bill included some repair to the drain pipes and the installation of a new 'Insinkerator' garbage disposal. Sounds more and more like a deal! And yes, I could have offered to 'pay half,' but did not do so on the 'grounds' that it is totally Kootch's apartment. Nor did Kootch suggest that we split the fee. (She knows that I am one stingy muthafucka, but she also knows that if she ever really needs it, 'all my money are belong to her.')
Which brings us to my first theme: Stingy Money. What a subject! First a visual:
You can find this and other visuals at Wealth inequality in the United States. Go there if you dare. But what a stunning revelation! The bottom 40% had only .2 percent of the country's wealth! Equally stunning, the top 5 percent had 62.9% of America's wealth! Something is wrong... very, very, wrong. America is fucked up. We need to fix that.
So when the Supreme Court failed to overturn 'Obamacare' yesterday, a wave of astonishment swept over the national media. Surprise, surprise! And the 'culprit' turned out to be none other than Chief Justice Roberts! What was he thinking?! We can't know, of course, but I suspect that Roberts was feeling guilty over the 'Citizens United' decision which effectively allows The Wealthy to propaganize the rest of us using modern media. Money Honey!

Interesting Recipes.
(1)
Working on beer #1 at 1528. Sip. In spite of a 'nap' from 1100 to 1230 I feel very sleep-deprived after a night of heavy microwave radiation attacks from the apartments above and below. If it weren't such a 'banner political day' I'd probably skip blogging until next Friday. But I've occasionally done some good work in spite of being sleep-deprived... so we'll see.
Today's big news is the recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of 'Obamacare.' Alright! (Back from the fridge with beer #2 at 1541. Too sleep-deprived to feel much of a buzz. Sip.) Chief Justice Roberts sided with the 'liberals' (Being gassed here; also sneezing and nose-dripping due to 'face rad.') (Back from the kitchen after cleaning the 'tear-spatters' off the inside of my glasses. Really. At 1555. Huge mucus flows have ceased for now. God I love sneezing!) Sip.
Kootch recently asked me, smilingly, 'You wanna watch me eat?' (We already did today's M.) I declined, but told her that her 'lunch' was very 'blogworthy,' so I would blog it.' So after just now getting the recipe from her while finishing up beer #2 - now back from the fridge with beer #3, buzzing nicely at 1617 - here is the recipe for 'Somen:' Make a 'sauce' of water, soy sauce, sugar (or sweetener) and 'fish umami.' Put sauce in the freezer. Boil a batch of 'skinny noodles.' Drain in a wire mesh thingee. Wait. When the sauce is cold enough, put noodles in a bowl and add the sauce. Stir w/chopsticks and slurp. Boy they good on a hot humid day!
Time to reread last week's blog and clean it up a bit.

Nighty-Night!

As I watched the usual visual flow I noticed a totally new visual phenomenon: Tiny black dots moving around in the visual field against the usual grey stuff.
End of tonight's blog at 1904 as I head for the kitchen. Nighty-night!

Hongry!

I sprinkled some pepper all over the sink, then I watched. The first thing I noticed was that each pepper seemed to have a 'pardner.' Bizarre. Then it dawned on me that I was seeing 'shadows:' each speck of pepper formed a corresponding shadow. I followed those peppers as they either sank or moved from bulge to bulge toward the sinkhole. Very interesting. Peppers which did not enter the flow tended to 'bunch together' in various 'bulges.'
Eventually I became satisfied that I understood the flow. I hit the sack. I closed my eyes. The bedroom fans were running, blowing cool air into the room. I saw blackness... not!
I actually saw what I would later discover to be Visual Snow. I see it every time I close my eyes. In my case it is not at all 'intrusive on consciousness.' It is simply 'there' every time I close my eyes. Historically with me, it is a very faint variation from absolute darkness, appearing to be a sequence of slowly changing chaotic patterns greyer than pure blackness. I assume that everybody sees it, and that many, if not most, don't notice it. I further assume that the cause is random 'firings' of neurons associated with the visual system: neuronal noise. I first noticed the phenomenon back in the '70s after doing LSD, a drug famous for producing bright colorful images when the tripper closes hir eyes.
Hongry at 1854! Hongry!

(Back from the fridge with beer #6 at 1705. Sip. It's hot. Kootch is taking a cool shower. But wait! There's more!)
About three days ago I entered the kitchen. Kootch had made the happy mistake of leaving the fawcett dripping. It must have dripped for an hour or so before I arrived on the scene. The light next to the sink was on. The scene in the sink was utterly mezmerizing: Hundreds of (mostly small) pools of water covered the sink bottom, illuminated by the bright phosphorescent light about 45 degrees above/right. The scene resembled a 'modernist painting.' I was instantly hooked. I leaned over the sink and watched the process taking place below me. Each 'pool' was actually a 'bulge' of water with steep sides, separating each bulge from the other bulges. Surface Tension! (Kootch has hit the sack and I am working on beer #7 at 1732. The news is on.) I watched. Five minutes... Ten minutes... (I am easily amused). The entire magical scene was slowly changing in front of me as various 'bulges' merged and either grew larger or disappeared in mergers as the water found its way to the drain.
I experimented with the flow. I eventually decided that the best flow rate (of cold water) was about one drip per second. The 'splat' could be seen all over the sink as tiny droplets formed on the floor and walls of the silvery sink.
Then I noticed a tiny dark object in one of the droplets as it moved from one 'bulge' to another as they merged. I followed it all the way to the drain. I wanted to duplicate that 'movement' in order to understand the flow process.
'Pepper!' I thought.

Drip... drip... drip...

Whew. Back from the fridge with beer #5 at 1625. While in the kitchen I couldn't help but notice the dripping sink fawcett. It drips at about 60 drips per second. Each drip makes a loud noise (for a drip) because the spout is unusually high, allowing each drip to reach unusually high speeds before it splats on the silver-grey sink floor. Here's the 'backstory:'
----------
About ten years ago Kootch bought a new fawcett for both the kitchen and the bathroom. She expected that I would do the work of replacing both old fawcetts. Wrong. I was a fragile 67 years old and in no mood to become involved in the extreme physical poses it would take to do the job. I suggested a plumber. Kootch decided to wait a while. Then, about two years ago she finally got me to call a plumber to replace those two fawcetts. The cost was 700 plus dollars - a bit high in my estimation. Kootch paid. We both liked the high spout in the kitchen sink because it was so... high. It allowed for all kinds of maneuvering in the descending water stream... hands... dishes... whatever. Only one problem: when the hot water was turned on, the new fawcett moaned loudly. Moaned continuously. Argh.
We got used to it. 'Cheap fawcett.'

This week's Link Dump.
(2)
Working on beer #2 at 1507, buzzing slightly. Eight beers left, Canadian Mist backup. Sip. Better do the Link Dump:
----------
Happy Birthday APOD! One of my favorite sites. (Back from the fridge with beer #3 at 1522. Sip.)
It's a 'go' for the world's largest telescope. Love it.
Monica Bauerlein and Clara Jeffrey Talk Dark Money with Bill Moyers. (Note: Dark Money is not to be confused with Dark Matter and Dark Energy.) I watch Moyers' show on PBS every week.
Pew Survey: Doubt of God growing quickly among millennials. Gee, I wonder why? Darn.
Life Without God: An interview with Tim Prowse. Interesting.
(Back from the fridge with beer #4 at 1600. Sip.)
Even in Israel, more and more parents choose not to circumcise their sons. Darn it. What is this world coming to?

Et Tu, Texas?
(1)
From the Texas Democratic Party Platform:
----------
'This decriminalization of marijuana does not mean we endorse the use of marijuana but it is only a call to wiser use of law enforcement and public health policy. Prohibition of marijuana abdicates the control of marijuana production and distribution to drug cartels and street gangs. Such prohibition promotes disrespect for the law and reinforces ethnic and generational divides between the public and law enforcement.
Every year, hundreds and thousands of Americans are arrested for marijuana possession violations- far more than all those arrested for violent crimes in America. Societal costs dealing with the war on drugs concerning marijuana exceeds 12 billion dollars annually. Since the war on drugs began, 85% of the arrests for marijuana have been for possession only.
Marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. Recent polls show over 50% of Americans believe marijuana should be decriminalized. While arrests for marijuana since 1965 have been over 20 million citizens, marijuana is more prevalent than ever before.
There is no evidence that marijuana is a “gateway” drug leading to the use of more lethal drugs. 75% of citizens arrested for marijuana are under 30. Minorities account for a majority of those arrested for marijuana. Criminal conviction permanently scars a young citizen for life.
Texas Democrats urge the President, the Attorney General and the Congress to support the passage of legislation to decriminalize the possession of marijuana and regulate it’s use, production and sale as is done with tobacco and alcohol.
We further urge the immediate decriminalization of the possession and use of medical marijuana.'
----------
Well, folks, if we've lost Texas, we've lost the War on Drugs! I say, 'Sign the Armistice!' Indeed, my reading of this Wiki article suggests that The Prez could remove Cannabis from Schedule I by Executive Order should Congress fail to agree. Did I get that right?

The Brain From Top to Bottom.
(3)
Speaking of 'the brain' it is a fairly recent discovery. Really. Back in the old days nobody had a clue about what it was. It was just... there behind the eyeballs. Chop somebody's head open and there it was... WTF!? Other organs were obviously designed to do specific things: Legs walked. Mouths talked. Penises peed. And I could go on and on. But the brain was a mystery. Human behavior was the result of the 'human soul.' God created us humans about 6000 years ago in the Garden of Eden and gave every one of us a Soul. It was our 'soul' which 'animated us.' Our souls were immortal, and god would burn us in hell forever if we did not behave properly. Really.
Nowadays we know that it is our brains, our CNS, which makes us human. There is no evidence whatsoever for a 'soul.' When our brains die, we die. It's a classic good news - bad news situation: 'Yes, there is no Hell; no, we don't live forever.' I'll take it! (Back from the fridge with beer #7 at 1755. Only 11 beers left.)
Which brings us to the point of this post: Our Brain. I was so fascinated with the recent 'Paradise Engineering' series of posts that I began researching The Brain and stumbled on The Brain from Top to Bottom. The site has three categories (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). I naturally selected the 'Intermediate' category. Lotsa good information. Highly recommended.

Nature's Wonder Drug.
(2)
This is a good visual with which to preface the following links. The guy's eyes are bloodshot after 'smoking up' and his mood has changed considerably from 'anger' to 'blissed-out.' I can personally attest to this effect. Back in the '70s I would drink beer almost every day after getting off work, and occasionally after a 'bad day at the office' I would 'take it out on Kootch.' 'Smoking up' would always soften my mood suddenly and dramatically. (Sipping on beer #4 at 1558.)
----------
Upstart Congressional Candidate Beats Drug War Supporter.
Feds Move to Silence Platshorn, Derail the Silver Tour.
N.Y. Assembly Approves Medical Marijuana in Symbolic Move.
Rhode Island Decriminalization of Marijuana.
----------
And I could go on and on, of course, but you get the idea. The problem with Marijuana seems to be that it is an excellent all-purpose natural medicine; a natural wonder drug. Big Pharma wants its share of the pie, but so far it has failed to improve on Mother Nature. Indeed, the human brain's Cannaboid Receptors are not yet fully understood.

Oh Canada!

Working on beer #2 at 1456. Last week's session was very nice and buzzy, but ended way too soon. I must have drunk beers 8, 9, and 10 while putting together and reading the links. It was obviously an awkward confluence which should have been (being gassed here) parsed more appropriately. The various missspellings were intentional, however. Buzzing sluggishly at 1515 as I return from the fridge with beer #3. (I took the precaution of eating something while Kootch and I did today's M, hence the 'sluggishness.' If things don't improve considerably within the next few hours there's always Canadian Mist.) Oh Canada!
Speaking of Canada, They seem to 'have their act together' in regard to 'immigration.' Maybe we should take some hints from them! See, Global Lessons, the GPS Roadmap for Making Immigration Work, a CNN special by Fareed Zakaria.

Speaking of which, Death of Snake Handler shines light... Dumb! Here is the official Biblical passage in that regard.
White House to PTSD Veterans: No Medical Marijuana for You.
Wake Up Mister President! You are behind the curve!

Working on beer #6 at 1653. Sip. Buzzing outrageously.
And clearly, Gerash and Israel have differences concerning 'the final objective:' Israel wants to 'reform' various 'mental defectives' such that they (boom) are able to 'live with the rest of us.' That 'end' is admirable even if the 'method' is not.
But what is Gerash's 'final objective?' This much is clear:
----------
Both Jews desire some sort of 'behavioral change.'
Both Jews use 'pain' to cue their 'subjects' in the desired direction.
But only Israel is clearly communicating a 'behavioral goal;' Gerash isn't. This leads (Kootch just headed to the potty to pee before hitting the sack and I used her to bring me the next beer. Naughty. Where wuz I?) me to conclude that Gerash does not want his 'behavioral goal' to emerge clearly enough that I could specify such goal in my blog. (And in any case, torture is fun in itself. Let's face it. Who really needs a goal? Right?) Gerash wants me to 'figure it out for myself.' And I have.
The problem is, You have figured it out too.

Sipping on beer #2 at 1528. Sip. Buzzing nicely. Kootch and I just finished today's M. Rereading last week's post I noticed a spelling error. Oh well... Ultzheimers maybe? Hmm. I think I'd rather blame it on 'night-time radiation torture.' Jews like Gerash apparently love to torture other people. Here is a recent example from Mother Jones. It's the story of the Judge Rottenberg Educational Center, founded by Matthew L. Israel, which uses Aversion Therapy to 'educate' their 'students.' Therapy includes electric shocks, spanking, pinching, and forced inhalation of Ammonia. Sounds persuasive! (I would certainly be persuaded.) As I was reading the article I was struck by the general 'similarity of method' used by Gerash and Israel: both Jews use electricity in some form, and both use inhalants in some form. This brings to mind the recent Jewish history of 'gassing and burning' during WW-II when The Nazis exterminated millions of European Jews by gassing them to death and then burning their remains in huge ovens. A form of 'revenge?' (tap) If so, such 'revenge' is directed at the wrong people. (Is there a psychological term for such behavior? There should be. If so, I can't find it.)
It's interesting to compare Gerash and Israel's behavior given that Israel has his victims 'at hand,' whereas Gerash must do his torture within the 'confines of The Law.'
