am i living in a parallel universe?

3 states voted to legalize "gay" marriage

2 states voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana

1 stated voted to legalize medical mary jane

A lesbian was voted to the senate in wisconsin
an atheist won a seat in the house in arizona
elizabeth warren is our senator from massachusetts
puerto rico voted that it might not want to be a state

A venezuelan won the triple crown
The mighty casey got pinch-hit for...

Noter  Dame is #1 in the polls

Citizen's United allowed $700 million to flow
yet, not a vote was bought

sandy devastated parts of new york and long island
and nobody's talking aboot' "beach erosion" now


an african american was re-elected president over a sacred -underwearing man
and barely a word was whispered...

pinch me!

AN OLD BASEBALL JOKE

2 Friends used to attend

Games together.

At the stretch of one no particular

1 asked of the other:

"do you think they play baseball in heaven?"

"i hope so"

"let's make a pact. the 1st to die has to come back and tell one another"

after many years (and many games) 1 learned the other had cashed in his innings.

a few days after the funeral- out walking alone he thought he heard a voice.

"fred-is that you?"

"yes. and i've good news and bad"

"what's the good news?"

"We play baseball in heaven all of the day and all of the night"
"single headers, double headers, triple headers-the game never ends"
"It's Fantastic"

"what's the bad news?"

"Paulie, my boy...

 you're pitching tomorrow"

"the goddamn broken door in the work place caused this"

i want into the workers compensation program.

i got in (with a little help from my friend)

"park bench syndrome" said dr. nuero

"no" a broken door which re-injured a previously broken hand

i want to see an orthopedic.

"no" said workers compensation.

m.r.i. (yadda yadda yadda)

results: negative

what gives?

2 other possibilities:

exposure to a neuro-toxin or

an auto-immune disease.

expecting different results.

((did you know that any test prescribed under worker's compensation law under $900

cannot be contested?))

how much is this going to cost to retest?

$899

what are you looking for?

(duh)

what caused your hand to die!

you are looking for an auto-immune disease

of course- i am a neurologist

but- work could not have caused that-certainly not at my work

i cannot and will not allow a government program diagnose me when we both know they
should not foot the bill.

next to satan, dream sequences in movies and calves liver, i dislike the new york yankees the most.

the "shine"

(stephen king)  ((scatman crothers))

i want to tell a story.

i used to have a repeating dream. (for years) when i was a "young " man.

i was going to take my last final at university. Pass and i earn my sheepskin.
i enter the room, students begin to file in- i recognize none of them. the teacher enters...

(i have never seen him before...)

"isn't this the intro  to theatre final?"

"No" "i think that was yesterday"

i always awoke in a cold sweat. thank god. i am only dreaming.

((my brother had this dream-we spoke aboot it)))

1980

a christian u. in pittsburgh

i arrive for my "last" final

(next semester i student teach and then i'm outta here)

the students file in

i recognize none of them.

the teacher enters. i ask....


i ran to the liberal arts school. frank thornton is at his desk. "i fucked up"

i misread the schedule.

"look's like you will take my class for a 3rd time, pablo"

"mr. thornton-do not send me home with my tail between my legs"
my father will kill me.
give me the final-right here-right now.
if i pass-i graduate.

"my wife is expecting me. you have 30 minutes"

PS: i am lettered in B.S.

no really- i have a B.S. Degree

(thanx frank)

as to the "shine"

i can only  explain it this way:

Baseball fans will get this analogy-

a guy stands at the plate and you just know that he is going to hit a home run...

i digress

true story

the day rocky made his debut with the yankees, Popa took me to the game.
i think{ therefore i may be wrong}

{{touche}}

that it was the 1st game for just the two of us

(two of us-the beatles-again- googleit)

i digress again

((i must confess. i like to digress. it's like the actors aside))

{{{it's where i reside }}}

small crowd. the yanks pretty much sucked then. c.b.s.- michael burke

they tried out every aged national leaguer

it drove us crazy. (i mean berserk )

reuben amaro   later, johnny callison (Don saw hit him the HR that won the all-star game at shea.)

((what away))  ((2 of you got that reference- anyway-))

later still

mateo alou and then felipe too!

what's next? imports from the bronx zoo?

WHEW!?! (we knew we were through)

{no more digressions}

we took a position near the players gate.

rocky was arriving, he was slightly late.

"rocky, the kid has your card. (i was holding it with also a pen in hand)
give the kid an autograph-give the kid a charge"

"sorry i can't i am late, late, for a very important date"

i kant say that Popa became irate- he didn't

he did berate

"your  finished rocky. you're washed up,  you're a bum. go back to cleveland. "

Today

chris davis the 1st baseman-designated hitter for the baltimore orioles was the winning pitcher
in a 17 inning game.

when was the last time a position player was the winning pitcher in a major league game?

unintended consequences

the "affordable care act" or "obamacare" as "the sheep" like to call it


will be ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court.

the "individual mandate" will be the culprit.

Let's go back-shall we?

the g.o.p. wanted a "personal responsibility" clause in wjc's health care bill
and bill and hill refused.

Fast Forward

obama refused the individual mandate and hillary accused:

"you will leave millions uninsured"

(obama wanted a single payer system-axelrod assured-that can't get you elected)

mr, obama won the election- and signed into to law-health insurance with the individual mandate.


Here we are!
(as Popa said- you can't get there from here)

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CYCLE

Hope your holding as much interest as i.

i am fascinated by the theatre.

i'll put aside comments made by the candidates

and their response (or lack of) to their talk-show mouthpiece (for now)...

i want to talk aboot socialism.

i ask...

is a public school system socialism?
is unemployment compensation?
is medicare or medicaid?
are crop subsidies or oil subsidies?
or "income tax"

certainly social security is, isn't it?

what aboot pac monies
lobby groups?
civic associations
and teacher and other public and/or private
trade labor unions?


do you hear where this is going...

look in the mirror

is the answer now clearer

{we live in a constitutional republic}

an enduring and evolving statehood that has tried to mix the best attributes of all systems that stood and fell before...

SOMETHING FROM NOTHING

Once on a journey the Zen master zenko happened to see a ruined temple that he thought should be restored.

Completely without material resources of his own, zenko wrote a large sign saying,

"This month on such and such a day the pilgrim Zen master zenko will perform a self cremation.
Let those who will donate money for firewood come watch"

Now zenko posted this sign here and there. Soon the local people were agog, and donations began pouring in.

On the appointed day people jammed the temple, awaiting for the lighting of the fire.

zenko sat in the firewood, preparing to immolate himself. he called for the fuel to be ignited at his signal.

Now zenko went into silent meditation. A long time passed. All of a sudden he looked up to the sky and nodded.

Then he addressed the crowd, saying:

"Listen. there are voices in the clouds. Just as i was about to enter into extinction' the saints all said,

'its too early for you to think of leaving this defiled world;

Put up with this world for awhile, and stay here to save living beings.'

"So, i can't go on with the cremation today"

Then he took the money that had been donated and was able to restore the abandoned temple with it.

TALK SOFTLY AND CARRY A WALKING STICK

i encountered a person today with her 4 children along. 16 thru 7 or 8
(i am bad aboot guessing ages- i have little experience)

After much deliberation over product choice and consternation to kids to "knock it off"

(they were -knocking all the signs off their stands)

:( (frowns me)

Mom- ripped 4 instant coupons off the packages and proceeded to the check-out.

(i carry a walking stick)

{My own MOM may want to stop reading right now- i ask Her to read on}

{{as i write on}}

i approached the center "podium" where the "front end dept. head" presides.

"what's up?"

"the people behind you 2nd in line are ripping off coupons"

his steel pierced raised eyebrows convinced me to take matters into my own hands.

(are they really? our own hands! aren't we a product of our experiences?

when in doubt i think-"what would POPA do?")

she handed the cashier 4 coupons as she placed her purchases on the belt.

i entered from the exit side.

(i spoke softly)

"i do not want to shame you in front of your children. Let's play a game of "match up the coupons"

"this one goes here and this one goes there-where do these two go?"

"i was going to apply them to the hamburgers"

"but, they were attached to others
of which you know you removed"

(i repeat, i spoke softly)

"go get the other burgers"

NIGHT RAIN

Before he went to live in the mountains, Zen master Ranryo traveled throughout the four quarters, making no distinction between court and countryside,city and village,not avoiding even wineshops and brothels.

When someone asked him why he acted this way, the Zen master said,

"my way is right there,wherever i happen to be. There is no gap at all."


Later,Renryo went into the mountains, where he built a simple hut and lived a life of frugal austerity as he continued to work on Zen.

Especially fond of night rain, Ranryo would burn incense and sit up on rainy nights, even until dawn. The people of the mountain villages, not knowing his name, named him "the Night Rain Monk" This amused him, so he began to use Night Rain as his literary name.

Once a visitor asked about the relative merits of Zen meditation and the Pure Land Buddhist practice of Buddha remembrance, reciting the name of the Buddha of Infinite Light. Ranyro gave his answer in verse:

Zen meditation and Buddha-remembrance
are like two mountains
Higher and lower potentials
divide a single world
When they arrive, all alike
see the moon upon the peak,
only pity those who have no faith
and suffer over the climb.
