So, I was gonna try and post something other than, “I got nothing much to say,” but, um, I really got nothin’ much to say. Except I really very much prefer working less than five minutes from home. I actually got to go home for lunch, and hang out in the back yard with the dog. It’s not as good as being on vacation, but it’s about as close it’s gonna get for a while.

US Congress Votes to Outsource Presidency
Washington DC (AP) — Congress today announced that the office of President of the United States of America will be outsourced to India as of July 15, 2007.
The move is being made in order to save the President’s $500,000 yearly salary, and also a record $521 trillion in deficit expenditures and related overhead the office has incurred during the last 5 years.
“We believe this is a wise move financially. The cost savings
should be significant,” stated Congressman Thomas Reynolds (R-WA). “We cannot expect to remain competitive on the world stage with the current level of cash outlay,” Reynolds noted.
Mr. Bush was informed by e-mail this morning of his termination. Preparations for the job move have been underway for some time.
Gurvinder Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai, India will be
assuming the office of President as of July 15, 2007.
Mr. Singh was born in the United States while his Indian parents were vacationing at Niagara Falls, thus making him eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 (USD) a month but with no health coverage or other benefits.
It is believed that Mr. Singh will be able to handle his job
responsibilities without a support staff. Due to the time difference
between the US and India, he will be working primarily at night, when few offices of the US Government will be open.
“Working nights will allow me to keep my day job at the Dell
Computer call center,” stated Mr. Singh in an exclusive interview. “I am excited about this position. I always hoped I would be President.”
A Congressional spokesperson noted that while Mr. Singh may not be fully aware of all the issues involved in the office of President, this should not be a problem as President Bush was not familiar with the issues either.
Mr. Singh will rely upon a script tree (similar to the one he uses for computer tech support) that will enable him to respond effectively to most topics of concern. Using these unrelated responses, he can address common concerns without having to understand the underlying issue at all. “We know these scripting tools work,” stated the spokesperson. “President Bush has used them successfully for years.”
Bush will receive health coverage, expenses, and salary until his final day of employment. Following a two week waiting period, he will be eligible for $140 a week unemployment for 13 weeks. Unfortunately he will not be eligible for Medicaid, as his unemployment benefits will exceed the allowed limit.
Mr. Bush has been provided the outplacement services of Manpower, Inc. to help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition.
According to Manpower, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new position due to limited practical or successful work experience. A Greeter position at Wal-Mart was suggested due to Bush’s extensive experience shaking hands, as well as his ability to smile at adversity.

Sounds like a plan.

60’s ALERT!!!
Summer of Love celebration is mainstream
By Lisa Leff, Associated Press | June 26, 2007
SAN FRANCISCO — If the Summer of Love established San Francisco as the hub of hippiedom, the summer of 2007 may be remembered as a time the country commemorated 1960s counterculture by taking the “counter” out of it.
From New York, where Lincoln Center is devoting its outdoor music and dance season to the era, to Minnesota, where the Minneapolis Institute of Arts mounted a psychedelic art and photography exhibit, people of all ages and political persuasions are being invited to celebrate the seminal events that took place here four decades ago.
The anniversary’s most arguably authentic observance is a 17-city concert tour featuring Jefferson Starship sans Grace Slick, a Janis Joplin-less Big Brother & the Holding Company, and Tom Constanten, who played keyboards for the Grateful Dead from 1966 to 1970. (The tour’s only New England stop is Saturday at the Warner Theatre in Torrington, Conn.)
“You’re not going to see drunk, wasted musicians on stage,” said tour co-producer Tim Murphy, noting that men in their 60s make up most of his talent and the audience is teens and 20-somethings who have recently discovered the Summer of Love sound. “The hope is it’s something you could go to with your parents, you could go to with your grandparents.”
Because of a late start in putting the show together and bad blood between some of the performers and the promoter of a free concert scheduled for Sept. 2 in Golden Gate Park, Murphy said his tour won’t come anywhere near Haight-Ashbury, where the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin lived in 1967. The closest venue will be Monterey, where the 40th anniversary of the Monterey pop festival also is being observed.
Not that San Francisco will be forgotten. Events on tap over the next few months include a Labor Day weekend concert featuring Country Joe McDonald and a surviving member of The Doors, a ” ’60s at the ballpark” day where Giants and Dodgers fans will receive “Summer of Love” T-shirts, and lectures and walking tours.
The Summer of Love, considered by many to represent the climax of hippie culture, refers to the period when tens of thousands of young people flocked to San Francisco to dance barefoot, listen to alternative poetry and music, and march for peace in Vietnam and civil rights — all while having easy access to drugs and sex.
Conventional wisdom holds that it kicked off in January 1967 with the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park, where LSD advocate Timothy Leary exhorted , ” Turn on, tune in, drop out.” The summer ended in October when locals who witnessed the dark side of having 100,000 stoned youngsters roaming the streets held a funeral — “The Death of Hippie.”

Congressman Denied Access To Post-Attack Continuity Plans
As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure “bubbleroom” in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents.
On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED.

Operation FALCON – The USA is turning into a Police State
So far, not one of the more than 30,000 victims has been charged with a terror-related crime. So far, not one of the more than 30,000 victims has been charged with a terror-related crime.Operation Falcon is the clearest indication yet that the Bush administration is fine-tuning its shock-troops so it can roll up tens of thousands of people at a moment’s notice and toss them into the newly-built Halliburton detention centers. This should be a red flag for anyone who cares at all about human rights, civil liberties, or simply saving his own skin.

Awwwww RAGING Granny , …….. but I do love, since my teens, saying that I did it besides being a very “poor” (mostly starving) student — BATTERED and ON MY OWN since mid-teens. (Write about your hospital and Your protests.) I do not suggest my way. It was/is just too hard.
:bow: You are doing the “Good Fight” … however, once again proving that No Time 🙁 …..
then there is “picking up the :crap: “. which reminds me :smack: to do … :cat: :crap: litter boxes, :pup: :crap: , clean RAT Mansion/Castle Cages :omg: / plus more chores

But no Pool (Kristapea jump from any roof’s 😉 )
YET I no longer get a Wonderful view of the Stars, either (sniff) … which I believe you still have (which I drew in the mountains). However, “on a good day” I can see a bit of the ocean. Enough of “Responsibilities & Obligations”. Lets Runaway and Truly Play for at least a Day. :alc: Change Ones Reality — as M. Materlinck said, “Turn The Gem” 😉 … A!I!V!

I am tortured about One-Eye-Jack … finally I got him AND KEPT him in since around the first week of July. The last several days he has been “male” calling to Go Out. *He Has Been Fixed. He usually only stays for a day or two then sneaks out… then he is Trauma and becomes missing for about 5 days. 🙁 :Silent Scream: … A!I!V!
Analytically, I know he should be forced to stay in … but one day I have to TRUST that one day he will be back.
But he did get CAUGHT in an empty home, which I had to call and FORCE the Police TO DO SOMETHING, and … Had to get them to open the house. They could NOT get One-Eye-Jack out, so I ignored them saying to me … “You can not help”. I stood near the door and got One-Eye-Jack FREE! … IDIOT COPS (I worked on BOTH sides of the Law, so I know To Whom to call

re #3
Here is the agent’s website page for the “Summer of Love“. Although August 11 is not on the schedule, it does appear on the Starship site. I recently saw them at a free show for Microsoft’s Vista rollout w/out Marty and they were great. Prairie Prince is a great drummer.
Funny thing is the article said they would not be close to the San Francisco event but they will be appearing the day before across the Bay at the Sausalito Arts Festival sans Big Brother. On the other hand BB&the HC are doing an in-store tomorrow night at Amoeba.
The same agent has a couple of British acts on his roster so that might be your Sunday surprise.
Sadly, I will not be able to make it there for the LC meetup but hope you get better response from the others.
