Cold Sunrise
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the great island of Nantucket! So good to be with you on this Sunday morning, a very cold, 1 degree morning here in Osterville, and I hope that you and yours are safe and warm wherever this “message in a bottle” may be reaching you. A few predictions on the “Sunday morning talk shows” scheduled to begin in ten minutes. First, we will hear all of the ‘pundits, such as baseball expert, George Will, who will explain to all of us just how good the corporate hijacking of America by the coming global PLUTOCRACY truly is for the “American people” who have had it too good, for too long…you know, with stagnant wages for the past 30 years, while the top one percent now owns 25 percent of the incoming revenue from multi-national corporations, be it investment banking, insurance, oil, coal, or even “gold line”, which they OWN and hence 25 percent of the GDP, so, yes, those working poor, who used to be the middle class in this country should look for more cuts to social programs that do nothing for the corporate bottom line–services like police, fire, health, mental and physical for the majority in this nation, as well as future cuts to every service that states, who are now broke, as well as cities, offer, again, especially to those who need it the most–the POOR. Something like that George? Prediction two, you will hear, a man on the “right” side of the aisle, speak to the “out of control spending” along with 15 other talking points, and towards the end of the interview, you will feel very sick to your stomach, nauseous, for it will be a little too early in the morning to hear a boat load of blatant and out right LIES. The third and final prediction for this morning’s prophetic information outlets’ is this, there will be no moment of “awakening”, a moment of clarity, if you will, where say, a clown like astro-turf tea party chairman, Dick Armey, stops himself in the middle of his sentence and says something like, “I have been thinking about this for a long time, I must quit this nonsensical following of a false God, for as we continue to cut state and local budgets, along with federal programs designed to help the most desperate in this nation, all in the service of the almighty corporation, we WILL destroy this nation, one plant closing at a time, and as the population begins to become intolerant and very angry at what is REALLY going on, I don’t want to have any of that blood on my hands, so I quit, and I am joining a monastery. Have a nice day,” as he walks of the set of “Meet the Press”, with David Gregory’s jaw hitting the floor, forever. Yes, that will not happen on today’s “Sunday morning talk shows”, but would it not be great “tv” if it did? One can dream, one can dream. Have a wonderful Sunday everybody and God bless us all, EVERYONE! PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
