Solyndra and George Washington

are not connected in any fashion. 

I am in favor of Congressional Hearings on this subject as we will have a role play about the right protecting one from prosecution. It is a continuation of all the other nonsense like Halliburton, Silverado, car companies, bail outs, you name it, what ever. The taxpayers are going to foot the bill, why should they not have a sideshow? We should get some entertainment for our taxes. Maybe someone could write some songs and get it to Broadway. "Solyndra The Musical". I personally do not have a cast in mind but all those out of work actors could be paying Rev. Leviticus Jackson's Social Security. Kind of a win/win for me.

Senator Tom Coburn says there is about a gazillion dollars in pork. (He says some senators are "cowards". He could be right. On both counts.) He is a Republican who does not seem to care what his party thinks. He also says the primary motivation is reelection. In both parties. He seems to think that the absence of reason is a problem. Venal, small people his colleagues. (Venal: capable of betraying honor, duty or scruples for a price; corruptible.)

The media is in on it for the following reason: they need access to fill cable channels and newspaper columns. The loans were approved. If anyone in the media were truly serious they would begin publishing photographs of both the governmental officials and the corporate officials who were involved. No accusations, just photos and job titles.

This is what happens when folks with no knowledge of science, business or accounting decide who has access to the treasury. It would be nice to know who has a degree in the hard sciences or some math based skills.

The oils spill in the Gulf revealed just how ignorant the news media is in terms of science. No one expects them to be teaching calculus at MIT with training as a journalist. But the oil field workers here knew EXACTLY what happened. This is a reflection of the fact that we are no longer producing scientists is America. Well we are but they do not come from public high schools. They come from the Indian Subcontinent. Or Malaysia. Or Kenya. Or Russia.

We are electing folks the way we choose our sports teams: we have become fans. Short for fanatic. We have picked a team and are on it. No matter the
 consequences. There is a way to the future but not if we refuse to take it. We repeat the same actions and expect a different consequence.

Ron Paul and Louis Farrakhan are similar in that they say some logical things and then say something that sounds like a headline from The Weekly World News. You remember them...Supermarket Tabloid? "Batboy Marries Madonna"? "Elvis Shot Kennedy"? (They caused my second divorce. I hated going grocery shopping so I would read the headlines to anyone who would listen. Wife #2 couldn't take the embarrassment of admitting she was sleeping with an idiot.) Newt Gingerich should be a member of this club. Smart stuff/dumb stuff club. Maybe this could be the third party we have all been hoping for. Hell, anything is possible.
Later
The Rev.
