Con Te Partiro

As Andrea Bocelli would say in his ginzo operatic voice.....It's time to say Goodbye......and Yes Sweater Sweater it's time to say goodbye to Brooklyn before the vermon infested iceladies arrive.

waiting on the president

so I am watching the sickening news about poor Autumn Pasquale , and they arrested these 2 animals that lured and killed her for f*king bicycle parts and I am thinking " They could be Obama's Sons".......remember how he interjected himself into the shooting of the drug upped truant teen in florida that was shot by the civilian security guard while looking for homes to rob............well barry , why the silence on this tragedy ? these two miscreants look a lot like you and michelle too.

but why ?

as this fiasco in libya continues to unravel, i am still getting stuck on one point....WHY ?   why was the black haus so reluctant to classify the libyan massacre on the anniversay of the 9/11 attacks as a "terrorist" attack ?  what was/is there motive in first insisting it was a crowd of rebel rouses that got out of hand, why 5 days after the fact did they send Susan Rice onto Meet the Press to further push the notion it was payback for an anti-islam movie and street protest gone out of bounds? This was Al Queda, and nobody, and i do mean nobody, would blame obama for al queda's existince, they were here before barry and will be here long after he leaves.......it's not like this was the new libyan govt that he supported attacking us, he would not have had egg on his face for the actions of an organized al queda attack ....so why ? it is not like the american public was under the assumption that there was an everlasting peace in the middle east after the sand nigga spring...so why? ....why so eager to brush this aside....call it less than optimal, a bump on the road.......the jewish vote? they could care less about our diplomats in libya....hell isreal is facing nuclear extinction at the hands of iran and the jews are still lining up in boca raton to reelect this jackass....so why?

it is obviously something Big.....for hillary to fall on her sword and commit political suicide it must be big.......its also obvious that if Susan Rice had gone on these shows so close to the election and spread this propoganda on her own....without the encouragement or insistence of the black haus....she would have been fired.....can you imagine a renegade voice in his administration rockin the boat against his will and causing a stir like this one caused......off with her head.....but Nope...she has been spared....she was obviously just doing her job.....but WHY ?

I am stumped......my main suspicion now is that barry knew that continued attacks and the obvious healthiness of al queda would prevent him from freeing Sheik Omar;  the blind cleric behind the 1993 world trade center attacks,  as an olive branch to egypt..........but would he risk it all to keep his plan alive? or is he so arrogant he really felt that the dumbass american public will ignore the facts and drink the cool aid?

somewhere in a cornfield of Illinois.. Carlton Fisk is waking up behind the wheel with an empty bottle of vodka...no doubt contemplating the same puzzling issues as me.

survey says........

my dog Graves was beeming with pride when she saw these results., although she vows to do her part to leapfrog gosts and become the biggest fear for spoony.....quite possible the greatest survey of the past 20 years.......this will have to be reprinted in the sweater nite letter.

Two magazines, Country Living (95.99% white readership) and Ebony /Jet (99.99% black readership) did surveys on "WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST?”




The results were interesting, to say the least...

Country Living magazine's top three answers were:

1. Nuclear war/terrorist attack in U.S

2. Child/spouse dying

3. Terminal illness





Ebony / Jet magazine's top three answers were:

1. Ghosts
2. Dogs
3. Registered mail



No Kidding - And these are the people who put Obama over the top.

just wonderin

i sure hope there weren't any EXECS from Chrysler / GM or the other automative Big 3 at the Tigers games this past week.....I sure hope they gave up their luxury suites for all the Detroit teams after accepting bailout funds from the Government......I seem to recall spponjiah wagging his finger back in 09 telling Wall Street they couldn't give out Bonuses because of the financial stimullus....i certainly recall the media mocking Bank of America for having the audacity to pay deferred compensation to their employees that year.....i geuss the automakers get a free pass....after all...the first thing they did with their bailout cash was to produce a 2 minutes superbowl commercial exclaiming the rebirth of Made in Detroit with Eminem as their spokesperson....maybe he worked for free.....

nice to see that Dou*bag sprinsgteen hasn't changed....he's back in ohio stumping for obama.....i hope everyone who went to any of his concerts or bought any of his CD's the past 4 years feels responsible.....YOU sent him a message that it's OK....his loyal fans will trott out there and buy his tix no matter what....

i , on the other hand....still send hate mail to Phil Lesh for politicizing organ donation at a concert 5 years ago....poor Jerry would be turning in his grave....if he had a grave.....if his daughter and Bob weir hadn't spread his ashes into the ghanges River in India.....pooor poooor Jerry...you deserved better.

the power of me

wow....this is one for the ages.......i hvae always known i have the incredible power to fortune into famine, how i can give the kiss of death to a sports franchise by rooting for them....how my teams seldom win championships ( see the long troubled history of the Mets & Rangers) and how the teams i hate anjoy riches( see Notre dame on a roll since i officially turned against them).....but even this one scares me.

sometime after the Yankees defeated the orioles on Friday night i sat at the bar at Ceasars AC , enjoying a cool refreshing glass of ale and pondering the baseball playoffs.......A1 on the agenda was the Nationals preserving a 6 run lead and eliminating the hated Cardinals ( check)......next up was the pending Yankee-Tigers series......i thought for a moment and declared to nobody in particular that my hatred for the Redwings was soooo great , that it extended to the Mich, Mich St, Motown music, the Lions and Yes the Tigers.......no self respecting hockey fan would have an interest in basketball, so the pistons are safe for the moment......and so by default I was rooting for the Yankees.

I cam out of the Jackson browne concert to witness the Cardinals rally back in the 9th inning to beat the Nationals.......as bad as this was, i reasoned that it was okay because the National Fans are also Capital Fans.....and Oriole Fans are Ravens fans.....so there was a silver lining.

now i have only rooted for the Yankees 3 times in this 16 year run of theirs......in 96 over the Braves for Metropolitans reasons and the Yanks won......i also rooted for them over the Diamondbacks after the 2001 attacks on our city ( Riviera blows saves in 9th inning to cost them world series) and 2004 over the redsox (yanks blow 3-0 series lead) .......powerful stuff this jinx of mine.

But Last night takes the case........not only did the Yanks loose game 1 ....but they lost their Captain to a broken ankle.......if Jeter only knew I was rooting for the Yanks he would have lifted himself for a pinch hitter in the 10th.

who's next ?

bear mountain picnic

the beeeeeere was delicous on Bear Mountain yesterday.......food was so-so......oooompa nazi music was missing, vendors were scarce and boring......thank God for the BEEEEERE.

wild cards ?

couple of quick points.

Orioles....feel good story kinda......first post season appearence since 1997.......should bring back glorious memories of the 1970's....Plamer, Cuellar, Mcnally, Brooksie, Mark ABelanger and all.....the brilliant October Sun reflcecting off those white jersey and the Orange trim ?????

yeah right........Nightime in Texas and the birds wore BLACK Jerseys......sad.


Now......the play of the day......Infield fly rule ??   tuff call.....shortstop never came to a complete stop....hard to say he was camped under the ball....he also had his back to the infield.....if he intended to drop it on purpose to get the double play it wouldn;t have worked in 200 tries..

BUT the real story was the classless Atlanta Fans throwing garbage on the field for 20 minutes...and those empty cans werent thrown from the cheap seats upstairs....nope , that was teddy Turner fellow yachstman in the field level seats.

BUT BUT BUT ....the best story of the day was LARRY Jones going 1 for 5 and critical throwing error.....nice to see that scumbag go out in shame.....go fuk yourself chipper. 

old Jacks lowell

the hard, cold, oft sad red brick factory walls of the textile mills that Jack described in saturating detail remain, but what lies behind those walls is a scene that would make Te~ Jean himself smile with pride. A vibrant cloister of bars,pubs,taverns and meat Meccas.......an influx of youthful college kids from Umass Lowell brings this "Venice of America" to life. A quiet walk along the canals hearkens back to old Emil in his sidecar crossing and recrossing the Merrimack with Manuel... to the bemusement of onlookers....not much, except everything...has changed........Jacks' presence is nowhere and everywhere at the same time....perhaps Gerard still haunts these plains ...in the most gentile way a ghost can haunt.......the long shadows that come on a dying september sunday afternoon demand a remembrance of the sorrow and angst of a surf like factory worker....the Shrine of Joseph, the congregation is seated.....Saint Lucy stares from her throne....ole Lowell...one step forward , two steps back.....she truly never forgets.

Kerouac

Ran the Jack Kerouac 5K this past sauturday in Lowell Mass........a full review of the sights and sounds of old Lowell to follow tonite when I have more time............I think of Dean Moriarity....
