Hello we got up and got prepared to do our walk to Manyunk Trail. We stayed up very late last night watching episodes of House until three in the morning. Well we did get out before the sunset which is pretty good very good. We got out around three and went to the Manyunk trail it’s called the Manyunk Cynwyd trail. I really like walking there. We walked from Manteo to Cnwyd station. like the end of the trail I like taking pictures of the Kenwood station to quit. The weather held out. We had a very short snow squall but no other precipitation. It was a little bit windy though. We got back to her place close to 6 PM. We had salad
I had the day off from work today January 20th and I did not attend the Sunrise. I got up, let Emily out
Ginger, Kale, Oranges, Raspberries, Apples
and made my first juice here in Overbrook Farms. I decided to use up some fruit and stuff. I think it came out fine. In fact I made a video of the process. Not sure how it will come out but I will see. Here's a shortened video as an example.
Right now YouTube will not let me go anywhere but a SNL skit featuring
Emily
Drake(a snit with ONE name) doing a Bar Mitzvah skit. I went on the search AND the "upload" button and it just returns to the same page. I had wanted to put my video on but I will try later.
After the video loads and I get to fit as neat as possible.
I've been hanging out at the Overbrook Farms house all morning and into this afternoon. As you already saw, I juiced & edited my blog.
Emily and Exchange Student today
I let Emily in and out up all morning and this afternoon till now. It's now going on 2pm. I can't believe the trash wasn't taken. This is a break for me. I noticed the trash pick up is very consistent around here in Overbrook Farms. Eventually I'm going to take the public transit back to West Philly to Sansom Street. get some warmer clothes. It's supposed to be really cold tomorrow. I was to set up my RED
printer and install the software. I hope it's not as funky as the old one. I want get some warmer clothes since its

I just took the train to 30th St. and got some coffee and noticed that they finished the construction
"The Spirit of Transportation
in front and the sun is out. I took a picture of a mural called "the spirit of transportation" I particularly like the little cherub that's holding
an airship. It was done in 1893. I'm going to head back
to 4405 and maybe meet my buddy from work Peter later on.
Well, Peter did stop by and Dean, Peter and I hung out

Where I ended my day
for a long time about various issues and it was very enjoyable good seeing him again
Well, yesterday was Glen Beck's "Restoring Honor" Rally in Washington D.C. It was a Tea Pary event dressed up as a non-partison event. First off any event that pays Sarah Palin to speak is NOT non-partisan just as any event with Michael Moore. I am sure that she was paid big BUCKS to show up and preach to the choir and puff herself up. I also agree with this gentleman that Mr. Beck KNEW exactly what he was doing scheduling this event on the VERY DAY Dr. King made his "I Have a Dream Speech" back in 1963. Lets get real here. If the folks speaking and ginning up the white folks ran things, there were be NO federal involvement in Civil Rights. Mr. Beck and Ms. Palin are just co-opting Dr. King's message for folks who are frighted that they (white folks) will soon be in the MINORITY. The right wing wants to defund the govt to make it MORE ineffectual so they say "I told you so" Frankly, I watched some video of this rally and it was full of my fellow white people. The real name of this "rally" should be National White Folks Appreciation Day. I say this since some of us white folks feel taken advantage of by those "other" folks who get all the handouts and breaks. Ok, so I guess the solution is to vote more right-wing Republicans like Joe Miller of Alaska, who is close to being the Republican candidate for US Senate in Alaska. Here are some of his views:
He wants to eliminate the Department of Education, believes the government shouldn't pay for unemployment insurance and says of climate change on his campaign site that it "may not even exist." Among the more mainstream GOP positions he's taken: Miller would cut welfare; eliminate health care for the poor by scrapping Medicaid; and the Anchorage Daily News reported that he has has called for sweeping cuts to Medicare and Social Security with a goal of phasing them out entirely in favor of total privatization.
“The unemployment compensation benefits have gotten -- first of all, it's not constitutionally authorized,” Miller, R-Alaska, said on ABC/Washington Post’s “Top Line.” “I think that’s the first thing that's gotta be looked at, so I do not favor their extension.”
Well, some of the folks there collect UC and Social Security benefits and others might get other indirect benefits from the feds. ;My favorate was a woman who wanted the govt. to "keep their hands off my Medicare" How can you argue with with such willful fools. who want to believe ANYTHING that Obama is a Muslim, Socialist and not born in this country. So the Glen Beck's and Rush Limbaugh's of the USA have a real advantage. They can take a kernal of truth and twist it like a pretzel and some white people will eat it whole. Well, when a person is scared of people or ideas that they know nothing about, they can be convinced of anything. In this crapped out economy the charlitins, huckers, and lying politicians looking to score votes will surely crawl out of their rocks and take more advantage of us scared white folks. A good example of the kind of cravin politician is Newt Gingrich. He has fanned the who "Ground Zero Mosque" issue and for extra measure here he is on FOX NEW with Chris Wallace. Mr Wallace can't really believe the crap he is spewing!!
Wallace: You also write this on the screen: "The secular socialist machine represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did." Mr. Speaker, respectfully, isn't that wildly over the top?
Gingrich: No, not if by America you mean....Just listen to President Obama's language. He gets to decide who earns how much. He gets to decide when it's too much.
Wallace: We're not talking about any company. We're talking about companies that the government has put billions of dollars in...
Gingrich: No, no..he has said publicly and generically. Some Americans earn too much. So now he's going to decide that?
Wallace:No, he's not. He has said that some Americans earn too much
Well, in November the Republicans will work to repeal "Obama Care". Here is Eric Cantor who would push to repeal as soon as they take over the House of Representatives.
So we are faced with a situation where, hopefully, this November, a conservative majority will regain position in the House. And we're going to do everything we can to repeal the Bill, to delay the Bill, to defund the Bill, to do all of the above. I mean, these things go hand in hand, Laura.
Well, I have my opinions but listen and read what these folks are saying. They may be craven and fear mongers BUT they really (maybe not Beck since he is a radio huckster who did a "Morning Zoo" radio show back in the '80s when THAT was the thing to do) do believe in what they are saying and are on a mission from GOD to "Take Back America". Take back America where??? Please define what year. Is it 1920, 1896, 1952??
Here is one of our new conservative leaders in his prime. It reminds me of John DeBella of WMMR and his "Morning Zoo" back in the day
All this stuff makes me just want to BANG MY HEAD!!!
