POLLY-TICKS


Poli-tics(pal' e tiks) pl.n factional scheming for power and status within a group, relating to politician a person skilled or experienced in practical politics or political science.

Apparently, Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, didn't read Mr. Websters definition before he started endeavoring in pay-for-play politics.

 According to Chicago Sun Times columnist, Mary Mitchell, Mr. Blagojevich, didn't and doesn't have, any skills in factional scheming(smile). She wrote: "I suspect that Blagojevich's biggest sin, and the thing that has members of the General Assembly gnashing their teeth, is that he was so inept at the sleazy gamesmanship that is an integral part of Illinois politics."

Is anybody really surprised that another politician in Illinois, or anywhere else in America, or in the world got caught with their hand in the cookie jar?

 Is corruption in government, in America, really news?

The tentacles of corruption extend to every city and state in America to some degree. Lets just face the facts, the system of government in this country is corrupt. So even when you have decent individuals who go into politics with the desire to do the right thing, the corruptness of the system soon weighs heavy on their good intentions and many falter under the pressure.

Does anybody remember Fred Hampton, a leader in the Black Panther Party, who was cowardly murdered in his bed, as he slept?

 Hampton once said, referring to politics that, "Politics is just War without blood shed and War is just Politics with blood shed." Hampton is absolutely correct. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the so-called War on Drugs in our communities as well, is just politics in full effect mood.

Somewhere along this journey we call life we forgot just what politicians do.
Politicians by intent and design look out for themselves and people in their click or circle.
The vast majority of us are not in any politicians click, so why do we assume that they are going to look out for our best interest or do what is right regarding our everyday situations?


Harry S. Truman, believed by many to be the greatest president this country ever had or ever will have is quoted to have said,"My lot in life was either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician, and there is really no difference between the two."

 Judge/Politician Jackie Glass, recently sentenced O.J. Simpson to 30 years in prison. She said," I'm not here to try and cause any retribution or any payback for anything else." RIGHT!!!!!


The only regret I have with O.J., right , wrong, or indifferent, is that he should have never given them the satisfaction of seeing him break down.

Actually, it was almost comical seeing him almost come to tears trying to describe to a heartless Judge/Politician why he did what he did........because he wanted his stuff back......his stuff back???????????

In my estimation O.J. should have become the Invisible Man after getting his life back the first time. Now for the next ten or more years him and all of his stuff will be confined in an area the size of a bath room.

In the bible it says that "for we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out."
No matter if you are a corrupt politician, a sports icon, are the soon to be former president of the united states there will be no U-Haul truck parked at your grave site... full of your stuff.

The longer I live the more I've come to appreciate the teachings of the Reverend Sherman Glover.

 Reverend Glover is quoted to have said referring to politics(pollyticks) that "Polly was a whore and a Tick is a blood-sucker now you put those two together and what have you got?...........a blood-sucking whore.

CANAAN U.S.P.

                             "Out of Egypt have I called my son" USA........Most people when they hear or see the word Canaan they are reminded of the Biblical Hebrew account of the land promised by God to Abraham. Eventually, God delivers - the land flowing with milk and honey - to the descendants of Abraham, the Israelites.   Canaan was a region in the Ancient Near East during the late 2nd millennium BC. Typically, Western biblical scholarship has included ancient Canaan as part of a so called Middle East. However, the ancient authors of the Bible had no such racial bias against Africa and ancient Canaan was generally understood in antiquity to be an extension of the continent of Africa. (There was no Suez Canal artificially separating Africa from those lands to the East). So, when the parents...

 "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?" The Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an record the story of judgement against the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.   The children of God, because of their willing separation from God, evident by their grievous, continuous, deviate, sexual orientation, and rebellion ------- were about to pay for their disobedience. God said, " I will go down now and see. " Abraham - Gods man of that time -  saw God coming and intervened with God on humanities behalf.  He inquired if God would spare the city if 50 righteous could be found within the city? God agreed. He would not destroy the city if 50 righteous could be found. Abraham then inquired of God, "What about 45? What if 45 righteous can be found? Again, God agreed. He would not destroy the city if 45 righteous could be found. Abraham then inquired  of God for " mercy " at lower numbers( 40, then 30, then 20, and finally 10). ...
