The Quickening

It would appear from all outward manifestations that life as we know it has entered some warp phase where the usual rules don't apply.  Fact:  Billy Graham is lauded throughout the bigfoot media, and at age 86 tosses out an implicit endorsement of Bill and Hillary Clinton at Flushing Meadows.  Fact:  Animals have had it with our precious milk-sucking asses and have decided to re-establish the food chain, in Alaska and in Florida.  Fact:  Tigger and Piglet die within hours of each other.  Fact:  The Supreme Court came down for and against the public display of The Ten Commandments.  Fact:  Jeff Gordon has finished 30th or worse for a month straight, falling from 2nd to 12th in the points.  Fact:  Iraqi politicians and American Special Forces troops are sitting down for tea and cookies with Sunni Insurgents in Amman, according to Donald Rumsfeld and DEBKAfile.  Can these events be linked, part of a chain reaction bringing on the final days?

Shark attacks and Hollywood Weirdness and missing Alabama cheerleaders and the serial killer du jour are playing the old misdirection razzmatazz on our public consciousness, as September 11, 2005 looms on the horizon.  With all this in mind and with a mission at hand to make sure that you, my reader, have all the information you need to make a principled stand in the High Desert, I have added a couple of links to the left for your daily edification.  The National Enquirer will have up to the minute celebrity dirt, and the Northeast Intelligence Alert will scare the hell out of you in the run up to the next major American terrorist event.  That is all for today.

It's a topsy-turvy world and, frankly, I was happier in sublime ignorance to that fact.

You've burst my bubble.

You know with references to The Quickening and The High Desert I would be bound to comment.

You forgot to mention Art Bell announced yet another "semi/sorta retirement" last night.

I'm content to do as the self-proclaimed His Omnipotent & Most Supreme Wingnut, John Lear, does, and just kick back and enjoy the show. There is no other alternative.

Thanks for all the mind-stirring information. This is why a blog is so much work to put together. The Northeast Intelligence Alert has a story on Jayna Davis. I wonder why she bubbles to the surface and goes away all the time. It's weird. What's it all about, Oklahoma and her research...

Did Paul Winchell play in the South? We had his 60's show on television. I loved John Fiedler in The Odd Couple. I loved The Odd Couple with Jack and Walter.... and in fact, I loved the theme to The Odd Couple. And those 2 crazy English sisters? Loved 'em.

I better go to bed now because I can see I'm starting to free-associate.

Eh, media soundbites are more offensive and infinitely more prolific than sharkbites. And we all know summer kills old people. I'm settling in for a long, hot one.
