Osama’s Test(es) and Blum Blooming & Our Chapter Eleven

mark time

= “to keep the time of a marching step by moving the feet alternately

without advancing.” - from a 60s edition of Merriam Webster’s

Collegiate Dictionary

Perhaps The Left didn’t make too much of a fuss over Osama’s

endorsement of the worthy William Blum (pronounced “Bloom”) book

because of the poor translation offered up by The New York Times.

What The Laden really laid out was “You’ve just got to read Bill Blum’s

Hot Tomato! I’ve read it eleven times!” [1a]

The good news is that Osama put the Blum book on the table in such a

way that the general American public has a primer respecting/is able to

determine what they’re doing wrong...within a palatable package. [1b]

Providing much the same scenario that was intended when the

Leno/Letterman Plan was proposed [2]. The bad news is that The Left is

slated to act as if that info needs to be expanded upon, continuing to

write, lecture and meet...in lieu of implementing an effective plan with

regard to the... more-than-enough abominations listed in Blum’s

Chapter 27. But...we CAN DO SOMETHING. New.

Even though, it’s as if Chapter 11 had been declared by The Left. So

bankrupt for so long...and so bereft of hope.

I don’t include myself among The Pathetic. Rather, I’m quite open

still for business, the business of taking care of business, stopping

business as usual. [3] So that what Bin and Bill complain about can be

addressed significantly...in time.

Once Osama makes good on the next threat, I trust that

editors who refrain from posting this article will have some quiver of

question regarding whether or not spreading my words here (and

there)...might have

made an iota of diff. My word! Will someone please explain why another

article on another scandal, indiscretion, injustice and/or smoking gun

is necessary? Or, rather, why they’re ALL necessary in lieu of posting

this timely piece? I submit that only the most indiscriminating minds

will assess this plea as being a repetition of what I’ve said before,

as not opening up a window of bright, essential opportunity.

Below is what you have to choose from for The Test. Just let me know

which scenario you expect come down...if you choose not to join hands

with me at the figurative barricades.

ONE: San Francisco is made uninhabitable forever. Miami?

TWO: A score of congressional members are dismembered.

THREE: Something along the lines of the imaginary

rundown -describing (simultaneously) destroyed targets- in the first chapter of

my ‘Mmmerican Waterloo. You might want to skip by #3 here...if

pressed for time; it’s a long, intentionally tortured read:

“Mexico, Maine, not very far off from the longitudinal line of

Marlborough (is how The Mastermind liked to spell it), went up -the

little red brick building and its immediate area- at virtually the same

time as the white house hugging the nearby rugged, but beautiful

private island of Manticus, one of the last places in Mooseland where

the old Down East lifestyle survived in anything like its pure form,

unspoiled and unpretentious. The Wyman Dam, so crucial for the

Kennebec, went at the same time as the residential village situated

along U.S. 201 which housed most of Moscow’s citizens. 11:09am (EST)

all, all on time. 07/07/07.

A bus in Montgomery, Alabama, Highway 101 taking out some Buddhists

working for George Lucas in Marin County, bummer-to-bummer traffic

coming to a halt, the official bird of the country (the third finger)

raised in multiples, a very special set of passengers in a Winnebago

midst the Mojave Desert, spilling java to and fro, a museum in Monterey

(adjacent to restaurants, antique shops and the like), near where the

beaches were once festered with fish guts and flies, Meriden, CT 06454

(where the world’s first player piano was manufactured), many police

stations in Miami, one singular old-age home in “God’s Waiting Room”

(also known as Miami) where the relatives of many anti-Castroites spend

their last days, a Dade County municipal building elevator in the

“capital of Latin America,” two research center buildings at Miami

University (Ohio), a bar and grill where Little Richard is the topic of

conversation every other day in Macon, Georgia, four hotel lobbies on

Maui, the mayor’s office in Muncie, Indiana (where the Lynds did their

study for Middletown), Manhattan Beach in California, Manhattan, Kansas

(which was originally named Boston), and the NYC mucousal mayor’s

mansion on the upper east side of the borough of Manhattan, Marblehead

(parts of the MA town seemingly untouched since the 18th-century

still), the house at 2104 Kenwood Parkway in Minneapolis, Minnesota

(where the opening shots of The Mary Tyler Moore Show has become the

locals’ Graceland), John Updike’s “Paris of the 90s,” Missoula, Montana

(the infirmary at the University of Montana), the fire engine used for

Medicine Lodge, Kansas (near where prohibitionist Carrie Nation made

some marks), spot-on-target where the Martians supposedly landed (near

Princeton) for Wells’ War of the Worlds, Weehawken, NJ, where Burr and

Hamilton dueled, the lighthouse at Montauk Point, a bank overlooking

Cincinnati -which shall remain nameless for the moment- where one of

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s characters is said to have crossed the famous

river, army recruitment-related buildings in two Mariettas, two musical

history monuments in Memphis, an empty flat one-story building with a

corrugated roof in Mathis, Texas, Manchester, Mystic, Montpelier (an

insurance office), Mansfield, two Middletowns, Morgan, Medicine Bow,

the handsome bronze half-clad Native Ameican statue in Iowa’s Muscatine

Riverside Park, the famous statue of Massasoit on Cole’s Hill facing

Plymouth Rock (commemorating the landing of the Pilgrims), a postal

substation in Mississippi, a pharmaceutical company’s headquarters (of

a sort) in Michigan, and lots of other places in Washington (Hummer

dealerships exclusively), West Virginia, Wisconsin (including a

correctional officer’s home adjacent to a dam) and Wyoming.

Then a pause - when eleven after eleven - more than two false alarms

were called in on two Wall Streets.” [4]

FOUR: Some version -in reverse- of some of what the U.S. has done as

per William Blum’s Chapter 14.

FIVE: Some version straight up of what Bill’s delineated in his

Chapter 15 “United States Use of Biological and Chemical Weapons at

Home.”

SIX: Creation of an aversion re bus rides as per the Isreal Model.

SEVEN: The End of Stadium Sports as we know it in Amerikkka.

EIGHT: The Beginning of Twelve-Step Programs centered on Terrorist

Trauma. [5]

NINE: Current toxicity in the Food Chain and Water Supply increases

exponentially.

TEN: Reality show “Taken Hostage” climbs in the ratings to become

#1...and stays there.

ELEVEN: It becomes illegal for anyone -particularly in public

schools and on ferryboats- to speak the following lines:

"A terrorist is someone who has a bomb

but doesn't have an air force." [] 

Someone is laughing as you read this...all the way to the Bankruptcy

Hearings. With a bomb in/for each baby carriage.

Richard Oxman, info@parisgraves.com, trusts that readers will rise

above petty differences, and take

the following seriously: “The difference between the humor herein and

the easy jokes found elsewhere (on the same subject) is that -contrary

to overly popular

practice and deepest thought among The Left- the author is offering an

opportunity to DO something to stop Current Momentum.” That was

intended as an opening -initially- for the above article. In fact,

there IS time to do something significant...so that we can have

grandchildren to whom we can explain what we DID during The War On

Terror...other than talk, write and/or mark time. See the author,

Edukator? [7]
