Sisyphus Revisited

Chefjeff gloomily eats a bowl of instant oatmeal and curses the cold and wind as he ponders the tragic, inescapable stench of aimless despair in an existence bereft of any real purpose. All the while giving considerable thought to the onerous, paradigmatic existential philosophical notion deftly put forth by Albert Camus in his work, ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’:

Does Mankind’s futile search for meaning, unity and clarity in the face of an unintelligible world devoid of God, eternal truths or values require a genuine, authentic man of substance and intellectual honesty to consider the dubious notion of suicide as viable and self-evident recourse, if it might actually require him to act as such? Or is any verifiable and true reward of self-fulfillment, genuine meaning or self-actualization established within the very struggle for this meaning?

you tell me,….

The BEST View on Obama and the Economy I Have Read So Far!!

Robert Reich put it best!  It isn’t the government that is causing our economic woes and tearing it down and downsizing it is destroying any protection the middle/working class in this country have!!

Read the article!  This guy is putting it better than anyone so far!

And if you are a republican or fox news fan, don’t even bother reading it.  You wont agree with it anyways!

The big question is:

Quiz: What’s responsible for the lousy economy most Americans continue to wallow in?

A. Big government, bureaucrats, and the cultural and intellectual elites who back them.

B. Big business, Wall Street, and the powerful and privileged who represent them.

(And if you are wondering, I think it is TOTALLY answer “B”!!!  Answer “A” is totally a tea party ignorant Fox News viewer answer!)

Nothing like a fresh morning pinch of justice!

Here’s something to be thankful for on the Thanksgiving holiday!!

When real justice in our country is so hard to come by, THIS just made me want to dance!

Tom DeLay, that money laundering prick, is finally getting his due… IN TEXAS no less.   They should send him to the chair since they enjoy that sort of thing so much down there!

Smile for the camera, JAILBIRD! Don't drop the soap!

Good blog posting from the Wonkette in DC.

Maybe there is still some hope left for this stupid country and its system of justice.  I wont hold my breath until they lock up Dick Chaney to end our long political nightmare!

Time to call up the REAL Harry Potter!!

Yep!  North and South Korea are at it again!

I think we need the REAL Harry Potter!  He’ll fix this AGAIN!  And we wont need some little glasses eye’d twink with a stupid magic stick!

Maybe they’ll bring back MASH then we could stop watching stupid shit like Dancing With The Palins.

I agree with this guy, Palin IS a crappy dancer, and I have the shits of politics too!!

Palin Hater
Just thinking of that cow Bristol Palin!

This article cracked me up!  It seems that I agree with this whack job in Wisconsin!  I am “fed up with politics” and I don’t think “Bristol Palin is a very good dancer” as well!   I guess the only difference is, I’m not shooting my television.

Maybe I should buy a gun and a television.  That would probably help.  Maybe I should get money first….heh

Lets live in a boxcar!

I love our cultural wordsmithing. In the old days the terminology was short and sweet. And it actually meant something.

Consider the following: during the Great Depression, they had PAN HANDLERS. Then they became BUMs. BUMs. TRAMPs and HOBOs eventually turned into that magic ‘catch-all’ HOMELESS; only to wind up as the very modern and very politically correct term DISPLACED PERSONS.

But there are genuine differences between these terms. A hobo is a migratory worker who likes to travel, a tramp travels without working, and a bum does not travel or work. Politically correct ‘catch-all’ terminology actually serves to diminish these folks.

Since most of us are a scant paycheck or two away from the gutter, what the future may hold for us is uncertain at best. Since everything old eventually becomes new again, I suggest that you all familiarize yourselves with this link as it may become useful during the coming economic apocalypse! And when those politically correct literary craftsmen describe your current economic condition by calling you and your family “impecunious denizens”,… well, you heard it here first.

See you on the road!
