Double Peace Signs.
For Sentient Musings at sentientmusings.com
I walked past Donald Ray the other day listening to my headphones. Quite a ways away and he decided to yell and make a scene. He is my former roommate who threatened me with an olive bottle while I continued to smile at him. I did feel my head brace as a part of me imagined the bottle breaking on my head. I had not done anything to cause that reaction. Not as far as I am aware. Nowadays I write songs for him with Gemini. People are not what they appear to be even at their most threatening. Donald once told me of a run in with the Klan that he had. Stood his ground in spite of men on horseback. Anyway when I looked back at why he was yelling on the street, he said something that he usually says “you’re a fucking conman”. I looked back, smiling, flashed him a peace sign with my right hand and continued on my way while he took a picture. I was thinking how similar my body mannerism was in that moment to Nixon.
So I suppose I wasn’t too surprised that Vance decided to do Nixon. After all Nixon could be credited with ending the Vietnam war, opening China (to our eventual great detriment) and ended his Presidency in “disgrace” because of spying on the Russians. Oh you know what I mean. The Russians. The Democrats. Let’s not hoover up into a UFO today shall we?
Hovercrafts were a thing a while ago. For reasons unknown, they have disappeared mostly. Now the hovercraft technology is mainly used in bullet trains. A little electro-magnetism and the train glides faster on the track avoiding the usual friction. Here’s the scene that was the third option when searching for Nixon. The Situation Room seems strangely devoid of gold ornaments. People’s heads are framed in circles as if they’re elevated.
What Vance said is factually true. Nixon was pushed out by the gods and the System. Simply to show they could. The timeline called for it. The movie scene is just a dramatization. The Jew York Times reference is I presume not anti-semitic because Kissinger himself was Jewish. The so called Watergate scandal wasn’t newsworthy or it isn’t newsworthy today. The NSA spies on everyone. All 8 billion humans. We can record their thoughts I am guessing and if poop is any indication (it looked like a jester’s cap from the prior post about clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right) we can interrogate their thoughts while they’re asleep. What is your political bent Sir? What is your political persuasion? Are you a trouble maker? Does the revolution in Albania cause you to want to do that in America? Is that why you posted about the Great Blue Heron and Flamingoes? To make matters worse, a British actor plays Nixon. As if underlining the joke of all Presidencies. Kind of like a British actor playing Gandhi.
Anyway, Nixon seems also to be a way to attract a certain type of conservative in the Deep South. The Lynyrd Skynyrd song is proof of that. Vance seems to be saying, no it doesn’t bother me. And yet of all the Presidents, Nixon isn’t what a young Harvard Marine should model himself after. So why did he do it? Ok fine it was Yale Law not Harvard. Harvard’s better I am told. Vance could be tired of the whole thing and asking the Gods … can we go ahead and get this insane man out of here? It’s getting tiresome. The Constitution does allow for that. The Cabinet and the Vice President all have to agree that the President is insane and unfit for office. That’s my guess. I don’t know if that’s what Vance’s intentions were. I can’t read his mind.
In other news, I mentioned how “Being” and Beijing” were separated by a “Ji”.
And then this happened. Clearly apophenia again. It’s a terrible disease this apophenia. I see meaning and patterns in unconnected events with the causation leading back to my typing.
Ah well things happen. Take care out there. Good luck and good night.

Don't worry there aren’t too many people reading this site. The count seems to go down sometimes. Although the amount of time people are spending on the site is climbing. Almost 32 minutes. Not too shabby if I say so myself.
