DISPATCHES FROM THE GHOST MOOSE

the year is a quarter over.  well, it will be after tomorrow, anyway.  wow.  time does fly.  and I have done none of the things I set out to do for the year.  maybe in the 3/4 year left, I will.  or not. this trayvon shooting issue continues to dominate the news.  but the 15 people shot in chicago LAST NIGHT,  not so much.  and of course, bobby rush embarasses himself by wearing a hoodie on the floor of congress to show that it is not stereotypical gang wear...and, of course, what were 2 of the shooters wearing yesterday, you ask?  why, yes - a hoodie.  I could go on, but this is a tired subject.  those who make a living peddling racial hate will continue to do so.  enjoy your blood money, you racist scumbags. other than that, not much.  and by you?  oh - and eacho peas. 

beautiful day to be alive...sunny, nice spring day.  the politicians are making fools of themselves with the trayvon specticle.  have they scheduled the riots yet? it is nice to know that despite the troubles the country is having, our professional vacationer first lady can still find time, and our money, to take a trip to Mount Rushmore and Las Vegas. http://news.yahoo.com/michelle-obama-daughters-visiting-las-vegas-015711542.html this has gone so far past disgusting.  and, the words of our messiah from last year: http://www.boston.com/news/politics/articles/2011/10/24/sin_city_fumes_over_obamas_anti_tourism_rant/ Eacho peas.

you'll have to excuse me.  I was off yesterday and was not on my game.  this is the crime that none of us heard about.  and why?  it is heinous.....not unlike emmit till.. oh wait.  it is only white folks - that should spark no outrage, no theater.  nothing to see here..keep walking folks.. the media has deemed this not fit for a national story.  but if michael richards says the N WORD on stage, we will interrupt all network programming to talk about how hurtful that is to african americans.. read this link and ask why you heard nothing of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom believe me, crimes against anyone are terrible and unacceptable - whether the criminal is white, black or anything else.  but, why is it acceptable for Spike Lee to (incorrectly) tweet the address of the alleged shooter?  is that not inciting a mob?  why does the media classify the alleged shooter as a "white hispa...

now here is something that is shocking...just shocking..... looks like we were not given the full story on the trayvon martin shooting.  you know...the one that the media shows pictures of the cherubic looking young black kid.....well, we did not get the benefit of seeing his current picture, nor to see the comments he posted on twitter and facebook. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/trayvon-martin-shooting-details-emerge-facebook-twitter-accounts-180103647.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/03/26/2714778/thousands-expected-at-trayvon.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2120504/Trayvon-Martin-case-He-suspended-school-having-burglary-tool.html let's see...tawana brawley, the duke lacrosse team....yet another case of a rush to judgement by the media where there is a case of a white/black confrontation. speaking of which - ever read about this case?  I thought not.  if you are not infuriated that this case did not get national publicity... http://www....

after a beautiful day yesterday, it is back to early spring weather today - cold, rainy.  at least we were able to golf for the first time of the season yesterday.  my game sucked, but it was nice to get out and walk.  and play poorly. watching the news, they were talking about congress looking into the hiring practices of some companies that include asking for an applicant's facebook password.  presumably, the hiring company would look at a person's facebook activity to determine if they should be hired......hey....why don't the applicants just seal their records?  after all, it worked for our president, didn't it? gas prices are supposed to keep rising but level off.  I guess our economic recovery continues. the media frenzy about the murdered teen in florida continues.  it would be nice if black on white crime was reported with such ferocity.  do a search on "wichita massacre" and ask yourself why you did not see any coverage of that crim...

if there is any doubt the mainstream media is in bed with obama, I submit the following: http://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/automotive/la-fi-gas-economy-20120323,0,2076561.story?page=2&track=rss we are supposed to believe that paying $4.49 per gallon of gas is a good sign for the economy?  sure...using that logic, the 66% increase in the state income tax, the 90% increase in tollway charges, the runaway inflation...all of them must be signs we are really coming out of the recession, huh?  how about the fact that we have been printing money uncontrollably and with no restraint.  has anyone considered that?  we've been had, folks.  the emperor is wearing no clothes.

Let's lower the bar more, shall we?  we are already being told by the media that our colossal failure of a president deserves 4 more years, now this: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/03/22/police-to-ignore-california-law-requiring-authorities-to-impound-vehicles/ the LA police will not enforce the law impounding the cars of illegals that are driving without licenses.  so, they have broken one law, being here illegally, breaking a second law requiring a license, and will suffer no consequences.  any question we are pandering to the hispanic vote?  I suppose the 50% that pay no taxes are already on board.  how much lower can we, as a country sink?  I do believe we will be finding out. have a good weekend.  hit it straight.
