Opening Stuff:
I‘m a Fall guy. Hey!...That doesn’t sound right. But even though I said it at the beginning of last month I’m saying it again today…October is the best month of the year. It’s a month where trees age beautifully and people age gracefully. It’s a month that begins with pigskins flying and pumpkins smiling. It’s a month when I can start unpacking my plaid flannel shirts and fleece. It is a perfect month.
Though not heavily publicized, my sources are telling me that Michelle’s vegetable garden is actually an out and out ruse. While she plants radishes and broccoli in the morning, her secret service detail enters at tonight to plant, yes you heard it hear first…Money Trees. It is a major component in 0-Man’s new debt reduction plan to be unveiled a week before election. Here is a secret recording of parts of his speech rehearsal: “If I promise a free TV for somebody, and a person comes up to me and says, ‘Mr. Obama I need a free TV’, I then I holler up to Michelle and say ‘Honey go out pick $2000 off the TV Tree’.” He goes on to say, “We have car trees, health care for relatives living in Mexico trees and raises for Public employee union member trees.” And he finishes, “Congress just keeps on giving us mounds of fertilizer. If you can smell my drift.”

Back to More Stuff:
Credit where Credit is due Department.*
I have to say honestly that Obama has made a lasting contribution by teaching Americans that listening to campaign promises is a bad idea. *Or, is that debt where debt is due department?
The tragic suicide of the Rutgers student after having his private relationship exposed around the world on YouTube is just the latest example of the irresponsibility of people and the dangers of an unfettered Internet. And it won’t belong before the internet lovers will be crying about Government intervention. We have too many laws because too many people don’t understand the connection between freedom and responsibility. And it is very sad that a young, apparently talented man had to lose his life to dramatize human frailty.
One of the best phrases I have heard defining media’s contribution to a major divide in American culture is “Closed Loop Feedback media”. Media has become so divided that people only listen to or read media that supports their ideas and then writes to tell them how smart they are. And then the cycle continues.
Did you see where George Soros (In yesterday’s NYT’s) is withholding funding of Democrat candidates. Two years ago he contributed about $20,000,000. Instead, though, he will be feeding dedicated liberal organizations who will lash out against the American people with logic defying rhetoric.
There is no truth to the rumor that surfers are going to sue the national weather service for mental cruelty. But then, there is little that makes me happier than watching a surfer zoom almost out of control into a quiet shoreline neighborhood, hop out of his car with unbridled enthusiasm and then see his manic hopes fade as meekly as the calm seas before him or her.
Through the Same eyes: Chapter 96 continues. –A gun shot broke the tension. Kent dropped behind the partician and started looking around. Everybody else froze. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dan the trooper rise from his seat near the elevator. His hand went to his holster. He was looking around, trying to determine the origin of the shot. He moved towards our offices. Then I saw Jack’s head flop to the side and then the other. His body started to crumple like a balloon slowly losing air. As he fell the deranged eyes of Symington emerged, scanning over the room. They were on fire. He shoved Jack Wiley who fell to the floor with a thud. He stepped across Jacks body now oozing blood across his $100,000 carpeting. Symington’s hand came out of his pocket, and I noticed a bullet hole in that Brooks Brothers suit that always seemed an appendage of his body. His hand now brought a gun into sight.
His eyes bored into mine. “Maggie the Magnificent”, he shouted sarcastically. And then laughed. A threatening humorless laugh. “You f---ing (Family column) Bitch.” He must have heard Dan running up behind him. He moved quickly to the side, firing another shot that hit Dan in the shoulder. Dan spun down violently to the side; dropping the gun..
He turned back to me. “Oh how I hated the way you belittled my and others in meetings. Who did you think you were?” He started breathing in and out heavily. His face reddened. I said nothing. I saw Kent inching up. Izzy had thrown herself back into her chair, and had a white knuckle grasp of the delicate Chippendale arms.
Symington took a step forward. “And then when I finally had something going, you had to start snooping around.
He raised the gun six more inches.
The price of lobster is becoming very affordable around here. Approaching junk food staus. ASnd I love junk food.
How come the peace loving liberal elite hate everybody who aren’t them. The Minute Men group is coming to RI to support the passage of an Arizona type illegal immigration law. One “Friends” something-or-other organization has already come out urging the denial of the MM’s right to free speech. And of course calling them – what else – racist!
Then there is the trumpeting of that word racist as the cause of the anger against the “Slave” LeBron James. Talk about losing credibility. Talk about a term loosing its meaning.
Reading between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--I’m giving The Social Network, the movie that forced the “unlikable” FaceBook Billionaire Mark Zuckerman to give Newark NJ schools $100 Mil, an A+. This thing moves along, from a dorm room at Harvard to the top of the Cyber System. It is full of conniving, back stabbing, double crosses and giant egos. It even has some sympathetic characters to balance the out the antics of the Billionaire you will love to hate.
--Let Me In is more than just another in a tedious list of Vampire movies. It is a well done recreation of a very good Swedish film. A 12 yo boy befriends a new neighborhood girl who is not exactly what she appears to be. The boy, tormented by school kids, spends most of his life planning revenge and spying on pope in his apartment house. His young eerie neighbor becomes his only friend. He opens up to her, and soon there after a series of grisly murders grips the town. The girls father mysteriously disappears and the boy tries to befriend her. She resists and the boy imagines the unthinkable about his strange friend.
--In case 39, social worker Emily Jenkins tries to rescue a 10 year old girl from abusive parents, but begins to think that maybe this little girl is so innocent. It is gripping.
The news about McDonalds considering dropping their Health Insurance for 30,000 employees sounds like the first salvo fired across the broad deck of USS Health Care. Let’s hope that the election makes HC a sinking ship.
The Answer:
The number one film to date is Iron Man. Then we have Toy Story 3, HP and the deathly Hallows, Twilight: Eclipse, Knight and day (Surprise to me), Little Fockers, Salt, Inception, Narnia and The “A” Team! The A team?
The End:
Monday is going to be a very exciting day for Through the Same Eyes! I can hardly wait to see what happens next.
Hope you all have a great weekend. It’s going to be beautifully cool around here. I’ll probably spend it worrying about how many times I will look up during a golf shot Monday morning. Anybody have a Tums? Golf is fun…golf is fun…golf is fun…
