" Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," the 1907 painting of five prostitutes by Pablo Picasso that helped to usher in cubism, says economist David W. Galenson of the University of Chicago."

Amway Nation, part 8
I expect to see pigs sweetly soaring over treetops tomorrow! A West Michigan TV station talks about the Scam Candidate without reading straight from an Amway press release.
"First, DeVos says he's a jobs creator. The claim, according to his campaign, refers to his years as the head of Amway, his work with Grand Action, and another business endeavor - the Windquest Group.
How many jobs? Again, according to the campaign, thousands. But it is impossible to know how many jobs DeVos can be directly credited with.
On the other hand, Amway went through a significant restructuring with DeVos at the helm. As many as 1,300 hundred jobs were eliminated while he was president of the company now known as Alitcor."

What's the big deal?
"several "Strictly Thuggin'" theme parties that took place at the University of Chicago, where white students dressed up like their favorite hip-hop icons from BET and MTV. "
Lou Reed sang probably the most concise statement of white rock and roll: "I wish I was black." If you have cable, turn on MTV. Watch Road Rules Challenge or whatever preppy drama crap they have on now. Then, turn to BET. Which world do you find more interesting? Read Catcher in the Rye, followed by Invisible Man. Which more closely resembles reality?
I don't think Russell Simmons or Piddy is really going to be upset if wealthy white kids are trying to emulate the fashion. That's how they got rich. So, there you go. I may be wrong.
Now, back to hatin' on the elderly.
The elderly will expose themselves to strangers.

Amway Nation, part 7
The ad for the scam campaign for governor.
Dick DeVos, speaking in a voiceover: "It's an injustice when there are people in this state who are willing to work and they can't find work here. These are great people. These are folks who want to work and maybe through no fault of their own, their prior company went out of business. The next governor of Michigan has got to change that. I'm Dick DeVos. A Michigan manufacturer. I'm a job-maker. I haven't spent my life in politics. We have a tremendous amount in this state to offer, but unfortunately we're not putting it together right now. We need to be expanding opportunity. We've demonstrated very clearly that Michigan manufacturing, Michigan-made products can compete in every corner of the world. Life sciences, biotechnologies offer tremendous opportunities for us to diversify the economic base of our state. I believe as governor, I have to work for change. With all our strengths, it's time to pull together, get things done — and take Michigan in a new direction."
A reminder of key facts about Amway is in order:
1. You inherited the business, DICK.
2. Until very recently, those products could only be purchased through a distributor intent on "recruiting" you. Way to put products on the market.
3. A large part of the Amway ethos is that J-O-Bs are for losers.
Also, DICK. Stop saying "work for change." Who Moved My Cheese is so 2000.

It's like an O. Henry story, but with old people!
"The Honorable Bobby Flanders did the only thing he could possibly do; he whipped out the AARP card. To any camera that would gaze upon him, he would favor them with stories of how these geriatrics had built this country. He would of course also tell them that any sort of on the road testing for seniors, and seniors only, smacked of prejudice against the elderly."

Old people shouldn't have guns.
This time, it's the batshit crazy evil Vice President.
"Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday."
How much damn evidence does this country need? These people are dangerous even to their friends. Look at this face:
People who make that face do not "accidentally" shoot people.

It's Sunday. Go to Church.
Lots to do today, but here's a few notes of interest to those battling the elderly menace.
This person stole my idea.
"What if, rather than pester high school students (and their parents) about enlisting, military recruiters focused their efforts on nursing home residents? Sure, many with advanced Alzheimer's or hooked up to Foley catheters might be unenthusiastic about military service, but I guarantee you that some World War II vets who haven't really felt significant since 1945 would be happy to make use of their still-valid driver's licenses in the service of their country. "
My idea goes even further, requiring military service from professional athletes, too. But this is a start.
How unfunny is BC? Even old people are offended by it:
"I found the Feb. 4 comic strip "B.C.," by Johnny Hart, offensive and insulting to senior citizens. ... His strip often contains veiled political and religious innuendoes, but this one is so blatant I felt compelled to object. If this is the bent he chooses for his comic strip, perhaps it is time to relegate "B.C." to the Classified section, along with "Doonesbury" and "Boondocks."

The sham campaign for Governor continues.
"But what would DeVos do about Medicaid? It's the state's fastest-growing budget problem, consuming one of every four state tax dollars.
"Who knows what the situation will be a year from now?" he said. "Strategies and solutions will be developed over time. There are other program ideas being developed in other states. Other governors are looking at creative solutions." "
I'll translate that for you:
"I, Dick DeVos, head of the world's largest pyramid scheme, that my dad cooked up, have no frikkin' clue what I'd do if I became governor. None. What is this Medicaid you speak of?"
Michigan, again I beg of you. Do not give this man any authority whatsoever.

Another batshit crazy old person writes in to everyone's favorite hometown paper. Why do they keep publishing these letters? If anybody under the age of "ancient" wrote a letter to the editor making this much sense, it would get laughed at, then shredded.
Attacks on Bush
Since the day George Bush won reelection the "other side" has kept up a constant barrage of vicious attacks, which include the screamers, Al Gore and Howard Dean. He is consistently called a liar, though he is not! John McCain says those who call our president a liar, are the real liars.
They tried to get Vice President Cheney and Karl Rove removed, and recently the Supreme Court Justice Alito. Hillary Clinton said, "I say Republicans run the House like a plantation. . ." The list goes on. The war argument goes on, but those who think it was wrong should tell that to the millions of Iraqi people who streamed to the voting places, and are rejoicing that the 30-year reign of terror under the brutal dictator is over. I was in high school during the four years of World War II.
After Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt declared war on Japan, and joined the war in Germany to rid the world of Adolph Hitler. More than 400,000 American service men lost their lives in that long conflict. But all Americans stood behind him.
In this war, the Bush haters must make the terrorists think what they are doing is OK if so many Americans hate their own president. These include a good share of Democrats, Hollywood, Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan and Harry Belafonte. We all mourn the loss of every soldier killed, but remember.
As adults, they joined the service because they wanted to, knowing what could lie ahead. Now, why do people who reject war, still fight for a woman's "right to choose"? Since when is it anyone's right to kill another human being? The "left" is helping them. In the end, it's all political, and can be summed up in just two words. Bush won!

Dick DeVos and his ephemeral plan for Michigan.
``I'm running for governor to make change happen,'' he told the audience of about 80 business leaders and area government officials at the second annual forum on job growth and retention at the Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites.
He then handed out copies of Who Moved My Cheese and told everyone assembled to make their staff read it.
So, that last part never happened, but it could have.

Late night Marion Barry sighting! With some fantastic commentary:
"Of course I would make a bunch of jokes about Barry. Such as, when he said that drugs need to be taken out of the community, that he was thinking “…and brought over to my crib!” Or that Barry should be forced to take a drug test anytime he denounces drugs. Or that if he thinks his youth summit will keep kids away from drugs that he should next host an elderly summit so that former DC mayors will stay off drugs. But then, I would be digressing. "
Edit: A good article on Mr. Barry, recommended by Casey.

Less than 48 hours...
before I go back to the workplace. Posting will probably occur in the evenings from now on, and a day may be missed now and then, but I will soldier on to update you on the violent subculture of the elderly. Complacency is our enemy here, folks. We can't turn our back on them for a second, and vigilance is our most potent weapon.
So, with that said...
The elderly still want to put you on a curfew.
"An elderly resident on the other side of the argument also declined to be named, fearing his neighbors would be angry with him. But he said the curfew is a welcome change.
"I think it's going to be beautiful," he said. "It's going to make a big difference, keep the kids from running around all night long." "
From Iowa, a one man geriatric crime wave. This guy really needs to be locked up.
The elderly think traffic accidents are funny.

In terms of batshit crazy, it's hard to top the posters at freerepublic.com. Thus, the response to this article from a year ago surprised me. If DeVos can't even pull the batshit crazy vote, he's got some serious problems.
Although, as many an Amway zombie has said, "When the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter."
Have I mentioned how much I hate the DeVos family?
Best quote:
"Dick Devos governor of Michigan? Gee, I wonder how long it will take him to implement Me-You-6-4-2 mathematics into their school system and make it a mandated requirement for graduation.
Get real, the guy is a scam artist of the first order (and his wife is shrewy scary on top of it)."
EditA good post on a recent media appearance by Amway Dick.
"But ultimately, listening to DeVos, the founder of Amway/Alticor, talk about creating good, sustainable, well-paying jobs is like having Ken Lay tell you how to protect pensions. "

Kick out evolutionists
It's time to stop this foolishness ("Don't promote religion," Public Pulse letter by Gayle Schroder, Jan. 13). If Ms. Schroder wants public schools free of religion, she should sue the National Education Association (NEA) and kick out the religion of evolution also! (Mother Nature is their God).
Religion is the recognition on the part of man of a controlling superhuman power entitled to obedience, reverence and worship. It is a particular system of faith.
Faith is confidence or trust in a person or thing, loyalty to a belief not substantiated by proof and spiritual acceptance of truth or realities not certified by reason. A fact is something that has really happened as is distinguished from something merely believed to be so.
Evolution is the descent of all living things from a few simple forms of life (a doctrine!). The National Education Association and others have no way of knowing how life began. They were not there. Under the guise of science, they have taught their faith as science.
Science has never witnessed a progeny give birth to anything else but another parent (evolution's Achilles heel). This fact alone proves that their faith is not science, but science fiction.
My questions for Ms. Schroder are these: Which state's Congress were the founding fathers referring to?
They said "Congress," not "Congresses." And why did she leave out the main part of the First Amendment? ". . .nor prohibiting the free exercise of; or abridging the freedom of speech. . ." Evolutionists should go build their own religious schools, stop taxing us and indoctrinating our kids in their faith. Kick them out. Sue the NEA.

It's been a while since West Michigan letters to the Editor were featured, so here's a good one. I'll be a roadie for Winger if Willie Bell isn't a batshit crazy old person.
Kick out evolutionists

More Advanced Posting
Some craziness is going to keep me on the West Side all day tomorrow, so I'm posting in advance again. Have fun out there, peeps.
Unfunny Comic Strip of the Day
Today's U of C alum notes are presented by a Positively Unemployed research assistant and future lawyer:
"My prof today noted that this man [ed.--Brainerd Currie], who really got the CA and NY courts to change course big time, leading the American
Revolution in how our courts work, was a Chicago professor, a "Mad
Genius." I didn't know this until he mentioned it, as it's not listed
in the book where he worked. But you can just tell, and it makes
sense once you hear it he was a Chicago dork. He's the one that made
it acceptable for judges to say "The State of Illinois has a greater
interest in this matter than New York. Fuck you, New York!"
Why did he go Mad? Because he became so obsessed with the legal
problem of conflicting laws, once he moved onto Duke after the 50s at
Chicago, he was eventually found literally climbing a tree shouting,
"True Conflict! Apparent Conflict! False Conflict!" He died crazy,
at 53. God, I love that! Poor bastard. Tell me you Chicago fuckers
don't feel somewhat sorry for some dork losing it finally there....
Only those who have been to University of Chicago know why this
happens , this going Mad. This is why I resent comparisons by the HR
currency elite of grades to other institutions. For some schlep from
the midwest with nothing, I survived the fire, even doing well at
times. Just like you fuckers! I sort of like the Chicago madness
when not forced to deal with it at 18."
Editors note: Why Wonkette has a book deal, and this gentleman doesn't, is the great shame of American letters.
The elderly try to run over police officers.
"The hit-and-run driver, who turned out to be a senior citizen, was cited for failure to slow down or move over while passing an emergency vehicle displaying flashing lights and also ticketed for failure to stop and render aid in an accident with injuries."

A Glimpse Into The Future
I'm going to be away from the crackhouse all day tomorrow, so I'm posting this one in advance.
Unfunny Comic Strip of the Day
"Impoverished" U of C alum of the Day
"Carroll says he would have received $2,000 to speak at the conference, a similar sum if he published his talk in their anthology, and a chance at a $10,000 prize for scientists under 40. For an impoverished academic trying to scrape by, that's alluring. Says Carroll: "That's money I could have used to, say, buy a car!" "
More on the elderly rampage in Japan.
"In most cases, the strangling or stabbing was by a husband or wife who had found that after more than 50 years of marriage they could no longer stand their spouse."
I leave you these words from batshit crazy (but alliterative) Paul Harvey:
"Without advertising in this country, my goodness, we'd still be in this country what Russia mostly still is: a nation of bearded bicyclists with b.o."
