Electing a Presidente

America is agog with election fever.  At least a section of society seems to be.  There are all sorts of debates among those that are vying for the top job.  That to be the POTUS.  Not a Lotus as many a yogini will encourage but a POTUS.  President of the USA.

Now why someone would want to willingly subject themselves to the humiliation of being interviewed by dimwits and put into prepared arguments and debates is beyond me.  But the viewership is certainly driving sales for Shampoos, Cars, BreathMints, Mattresses and Auto, Home or Life Insurance products.  Or so the targeted marketing experts think.

It seems it boils down to this - who does America trust with a bunch of nuclear weapons?  Can they leave someone called Mickey or Goofy to watch them?

Do either Mickey or Goofy understand what a nuclear weapon is?  Suffice to say that most folks that today have one (or many) are unlikely to use it because it will lead to the elimination of planetary life.  No more Nature shows on PBS.  No more PBS.  Because there is no P in the PBS (as in public) just BS.

So the public now wants to address the next most important item  -  Is gay marriage real? Although an appointed supreme of courts has already ruled that it is legal, the voter public is burning up to find out whether they can trust their nuke holding office to provide a favorable opinion on other people's sexual preferences.

Here are the combinations possible -

  1. Gay and Nuke Loving
  2. Gay Loving but Nuke Hating
  3. Gay Hating and Nuke Loving
  4. Just Hating it all
Decisions, Decisions.  Now if that is not enough here comes the third divisive item - Do black lives matter?  For that matter what matters?  How about the other colors in the American spectrum?

So now one can see that the equation suddenly starts getting too complicated beyond the reach of most folks who quit Algebra while they were behind.  Pew research has some solid numbers to back this thesis.

Thusly they simply go vote for the guy or gal that seems to have good dental hygiene as seen on live television.

The end.

Oh America - don't forget to floss tonight!  And while you are sleeping mull over whether a Non Gay Marriage is worth it.

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

Peru, South America - Week well spent

Growing up in India the only Peru I knew of was a tropical fruit (Guava for those whose lingua is English).   Not until high school did I discover that it was also a country in the South American continent. So it was this early April week that we decided to hit up Peru - the land of the once glorious Inca people that lived 500 years ago.  Today Peru is the third largest country on that continent with a diverse geography that stretches from the drier Pacific coast plains to the high mountains of the Andes and the Amazon river valley to its east. Our trip was primarily a pilgrimage of sorts to visit the last remaining, lost (now found and documented), large scale, mostly undamaged, city of the Inca nobility, called Machu Picchu (MP).  The Inca were great architects and builders.  MP is a UNESCO world heritage site affording it high visibility to the tourism trade and therefore crowded year round.  Our timing was not quite high season allowing us...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music.   Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'.  Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac.  Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'.  Well I will be damned.  I thought  I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but  I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...
