Hugh is still in the Astral plain and wants to pass along this message.
“Make every morning as beautiful as possible. We are surrounded by everything we need. Sharing and caring are the currency of the love that shines within and is the true source of beauty. Be the light.”
Did you get that? I don’t always understand Hugh, but I do like the Rascals. Hugh has more to tell about the coming changes in the world in tomorrow’s post. Let’s just play the video and get on with it.

Chinese proverb:
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.
Yesterday, I saw a T-shirt with Woodsy Owl (the icon of the National Park Service famous for his motto of “Give a hoot – don’t pollute”) and noticed he has a new motto. “Lend a hand – care for the Land.” It seems everything has gone “Green” these days (except the almighty dollar) and I was reminded that our feathered friend had debuted on the first Earth Day in 1970. That makes old “Woodsy” over the hill at 40.
What's the shovel for? We may never know where all the bodies are buried.
All this eventually lead my thoughts to another old friend, “Smokey Bear”, who was around when I was just a small lad. His motto, “Only you can prevent forest fires”, was drummed into our little heads. Of course this didn’t stop my little brother “Hugh” (8 at the time) from lighting the “Old Farts” neck ties on fire when he was playing with matches one Tuesday afternoon. So, I wondered what has Smokey been up to?
He updated his motto in 2001 to become, “Only you can prevent Wildfires.” I guess we all need to change with the times. I remember how helpful his column was as it appeared monthly in Popular Science magazine. Owner of “The Best Damn Garage in Town” for 40 years his contibution to automotive innovation and NASCAR is legendary. With a dozen automotive design patents he was the “go to guy” for answers to your car problem questions.
Wait a minute… I’m getting Smokey Bear confused with good old Smokey Yunick! It happens sometimes when I get to reminiscing.
Henry - Smokey - Yunick (May 25, 1923 - May 9, 2001)
Okay, so I still recall how much we loved listening to him on the radio when we were coming of age in the 60s. His 1960 single with the “Miracles” was number 1 in the charts and was Motowns first million selling hit. My favorite was “Tears of a Clown.” Uh – oh. Hold the phone. I’m doing it again. That would be William “Smokey” Robinson Jr. I’m referring to at this time. OOPS! Wasn’t he great?
You've Really Got A Hold On Me
I couldn’t help laughing at the antics of “Smokey” his wife, Cookie, and their son, Earl, whenever I picked up the Sunday comics. The Chicago Tribune was a favorite around our house. Darn, there I go again. I have confused two iconic illustrations.
See you in the funny papers!
I’d better quit before Burt and Jerry pop up along with the rest of the “Smokey and the Bandit” crew.
I think I forgot to take my Aricept today. It is getting a bit smokey in here this morning. I’m going to call my Dr. and let you all get on with the day. But if you do end up traveling through Tennessee this summer; you may want to take some time to enjoy the Great Smokey Mountains (no relation to the Bear) as they are a true national treasure. We used to vacation there when we were kids.
Have a great day! And remember, if you have a question…
Ask “Joe Mama” about it. Watch this old Bandit run!
Penalties include: up to 20 years in prison and/or a $100,000 fine for each violation.
Warning! The FBI has determined this to be a dangerous website!
The FBI has identified this website and its authors to be members of an organization founded with the intention of returning the United States of America to the principles upon which is was founded. The Sedition Act of 1918 forbades the use of “disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language” about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces or that causes others to view the American government or its institutions with contempt. The Federal Government of the United States believes this site has committed such acts of sedition and will take action against any and all who participate in any actions that are meant to restore the rights and freedoms that have been co-opted by the insidous means of Grand Poobah Obama and some of his predecessors. Citizens are urged to report all persons attempting to divert the government from its present course of creating a new Socialist States of America.
Patriotic citizens are required to pay their taxes, serve their military (regardless of the legality or morality of its actions), submit to draconian laws and pledge allegiance to Emperor Obama while keeping their minds empty and their mouths shut. Failure to adhere to the policies of the New Regime may result in your relocation to a re-education camp for indoctrination.
WWHHOOOOOOWEEEE! A little caffeine goes a long way. No coffee for me this morning. It’s time for my annual bloodletting.
Are you ready? If not, you had better get ready. The Tax Man has been indulging himself so long that he can no longer assuage his insatiable appetite for your money. City, County and State Governments are no different from the Feds. They have grown bloated during the boom periods of the last 20 years.
Today they flail about with their gluttonous bellies distended, arms too weak from over indulgence to effectively accomplish their fiduciary responsibilities. Loathsome creatures of low moral character wallowing in hedonistic dens of ill repute. They will take what they need out of your hide to feed their addictions.
There’s no where to run, no where to hide! So stash the cookie jar in a safe place and prepare to face the music. Despite falling home values you may be surprised by your 2011 Property tax valuation. I was. Once again there was an increase. Though more slight than in recent years it was an increase nonetheless. I was prepeared to call the assessors office in an attempt to open negotiations for the county to purchase my home. This would appear to be a no brainer in as much as they seem to be placing a greater value on my property than the current market demand would dictate.
Is there anyone who isn’t at least a little intimdated by the IRS? Have you watched those
J.K. Harris Ads? Why do the clients hide their faces when giving their testimonials? You wouldn’t show your face either for fear of reprisals. Duh?!?
In the end it will be scooped up, dliluted by bureaucratic infrastructure and spent on wasteful programs. All the while we are told how great the benefits are for being a tax paying citizen.
The system is so confusing and corrupt that no one truly understand it. To hell with it. What’s the point of complaining? Just hand me a screwdriver so I can lobotomize myself.
Here's my IRS contribution. Would you like it gift wrapped?
“Hey tax man! Here’s my contribution.” And don’t let the door smack you (or that Census Worker Dude) in the ass on the way out. It’s time for another Tax Revolt in this country.
Pissed off?

Albert Camus: By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
A brief history of Taxes –
In times of war the Athenians imposed a tax referred to as eisphora. No one was exempt from the tax which was used to pay for special wartime expenditures. The Greeks are one of the few societies that were able to rescind the tax once the emergency was over. When additional resources were gained by the war effort the resources were used to refund the tax.
Athenians imposed a monthly poll tax on foreigners, people who did not have both an Athenian Mother and Father, of one drachma for men and a half drachma for women. The tax was referred to as metoikion
Sounds like they must have been Republicans, eh?
During the various reins of the Egyptian Pharaohs tax collectors were known as scribes. During one period the scribes imposed a tax on cooking oil. To insure that citizens were not avoiding the cooking oil tax scribes would audit households to insure that appropriate amounts of cooking oil were consumed and that citizens were not using leavings generated by other cooking processes as a substitute for the taxed oil.
Those guys were definitely Democrats.
Guess whose taxes are increased the most.
During the 1930′s federal individual income taxes were never more than 1.4 percent of GNP. Corporate taxes were never more than 1.6 percent of GNP. In 1990 those same taxes as a percent of GNP were 8.77 and 1.99 respectively.
I was reading an editorial this morning commenting on the “focus” of President Obama and Congressional members in staying on task with getting the Health Care legislation passed. It was a long arduous task and certainly took perseverence.
An interesting point was made about using our focus of will to stay on task and see our efforts in any endeavor through to fruition. As far as it relates to Health Care in this country, it points to what a lack of focus has meant for this initiative in the past. I refer to the efforts of the Clintons during the “Billary” Administration of the 90s. They trotted out a ridiculous overhaul plan for medical care and it eventually fizzled.
What was the the deciding factor in the failure of the Clintons to score a goal? FOCUS!
Bill Clinton had his mind elsewhere, as we all know, when it came to governing the nation. He was too preoccupied with being the “Horny” president to remain focused on crossing the finish line. Work first, orgie later, Bill. He just couldn’t keep that straight, the rule that is, not his tool, you fool. I’ll bet his buddies from his school days have some great stories to tell about all the hell raising and how he always avoided responsibilty or punishment for his actions.
I also believe Bill Clinton relied too much on his personal charm and charisma (frankly, he always gave me the creeps) and was a bit lazy when it came to the business of politics. I could go on, but I will spare your tender eyes the abuse.
Like him or not, I respect President Obama for remaing true to his convictions and keeping his eyes on the prize. I don’t agree with much of the content and I hope they make immediate changes. That remains to be seen. Congrats, Mr. President.
Now, get back to work!
Hugh Betcha!
Note – I will be using my intermediary (Dewey Lovitt) throughout ther week as I return to the “Man Cave” to continue my schooling in the arts of Metagnomy. Peace!
Let’s make this as brief as possible. I’m Dewey Lovitt and I’ve been employed to serve as a temporary intermediary while Hugh remains in isolation communing with the “The Shining Ones.”
I will relay his messages to you by channeling his consciousness through my own. Now, let me first explain that I have never possessed or claimed to possess any extraordinary PSI capabilites, but Hugh has given me this strange looking contraption to wear on my head (looks bogus) that he assures me will allow him to focus the powers of his extremely evolved consciousness into the appropriate channel (Channel 4, I think) and speak through yours truly; Dewey Lovitt.
I’m going to fastened this strap and secure this “”thingie”… and just adjust this knob… like he showed me yesterday…and “CLICK”
Greetings and Salutations to all my faithful readers. I speak to you now from my Sanctum of Solitude (a.k.a The Man Cave) because I have an urgent message for all of mankind. I even include “Dogs” like Tiger Woods and Jesse James who can’t seem to keep their pants zipped.
The message I must convey to you was passed to me by the “Great Masters” of our Universe during the period of my enlightenment. I am still in contact with my Mentor on the Astral plane. He has no name, though I call him Paz because of the tranquil and peaceful state of being in which he envelopes me. I cannot describe…
“CLICK” Can you believe this stuff. What kind of drugs is this guy using? I gotta get a drink! While I do that, you may want to take a quick read about the New Arizona Gun Laws awaiting the signature Governor Jan Brewer. You will now be allowed to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. Huh? If you didn’t already know it, Arizona has always permitted citizens to strap that big iron on their hip and walk the streets like in the old days. If you weren’t around in the days of the Old Wild West (I don’t know anyone who was) then you may want to come to Tucson and check out the New Wild West. “CLICK”
…and finding beauty in the plasticity of this astral plane. By mere thought I was able to transform my own world with improbable and impossible lanscapes, populated with beings that defy all means of description. When I was initially placed into the chamber of light the apprehension I felt soon disappeared. I did not see the light as I had become part of this shaft of iridescence and was “riding the light.”
My consciousness had seperated from my body as I began an OBE (Out of Body Experience) and looking down I saw myself still seated in the chamber of light. I felt no more than a mere “Oh. look, there’s my house down there” sense matter of factness. As the journey continued on…
“CLICK” He just goes on and on and on. He could give the “Energizer Bunny” a run for its money. Like a locator beacon from a downed aircraft crying into the emptiness of the vast Amazonian jungle, seeking a rescue that will not come because there is no one to hear its sad plea for help.
It gets exhausting for old Dewey to sit here in a sort of fugue state while Hugh saps my energy. I shoulda had a Red Bull this morning. Whew, I had no idea. While I’m taking a breather I found this joke on the web. To lighten things up a bit, here is The Man Song.
And now, back to Hugh! “CLICK”
…like Alice returning through the looking glass. I was forever changed by the experience which has elevated me to my status as a being of a new race of man; the “Aquarians.” The most important part of today’s message is that the so-called “End of the World” that was foretold for 12-20-2012 is really a new beginning. It will be a Convergence. You need not fear the change unless you are among those who will…
“CLICK” OOOO! This is starting to give me the creeps. “Superior Race” – “New World Order!” It is sounding a bit like that nutty Nazi, Adolph Hitler and his dream of The Third Riech. He is likely to go on this way for some time. You heard it. The main thing is that the Convergence with be coming in the year 2012, so I figure I have plenty of time to get my shit together. How about you? We’ll continue with more of Hugh’s message tomorrow. Today is absolutely gorgeous in the “Old Pueblo”. I’m going outside!
My name is Howie Doohan and my services were retained in order to locate and return Hugh to his loved ones. After seeking the direction from messages found in the entrails of poultry behind the “Pollo Feliz” on Oracle Rd, we hit the road. We soon discovered a remarkably serene Hugh about 45 minutes East of Tucson. The transition had begun.
Emerging from Kartchner Caverns – (these Alien types have some sort of affinity to subterranean environments) – Hugh appeared unchanged in any physical way. The same could not be said of his state of mind. God only knows what he must have gone through these past few days. I was surprised those Extra Terrestrial bastards had let him go unharmed. Yet, I wasn’t so sure they had.
Hugh is resting now, but he sends the following message. I provide you with the complete and uncensored text. End report.
- Howie Doohan
Greetings People of the Fourth Cycle,
Providence has brought about my return to you here on Earth. My journey has been one of purification and enlightenment. I have been far and yet have remained near. My mind has experienced the incomprehensible and I have even ceased to exist. True annihilation!
During my absence I was placed in a granzfeld state (no, that isn’t the latest Cinderella team to make the Final Four) and was soon having an OBE. I was no where and I was everywhere.
I stand before you now as a true “Aquarian”, the next stage in the evolution of our species. Possessing abilities far beyond those of mere mortals I now see the new age as it will unfold.
Precognition, Psychokinesis and Telepathy are but the rudiments of these new powers. In fact I also possess the power to resurrect the dead.
“You’re crazy, Hugh!”
I knew you would say that. Let me make this prediction as a demonstration of my new found omniscience.
December 20, 2011 – Apple Inc.
Today the innovators of Apple announce their latest new product development. The makers of the iPod and the iPad now offer a new product for the “Baby Boomer” generation that is destined to make their senior years truly “golden.” To assist with the increasing problems of urination that come with advancing age, Apple has designed a personal aid called the iPeed.
The product features will allow the user who suffers from frequent urination to monitor and report all “pit stops” to his physician as well as providing GPS locators to the nearest restroom faclities. An early detection device tells an incontinent user that he or she is about to wet themselves.
“Virtual urination” and wi-fi features are also included. Samsung and Blackberry and expected to announce their own versions of this device at the CES Convention next month in Las Vegas. The iPeed will retail for $299. -
“That is really stupid, Hugh”
And I knew you were going to say that! Need I provide any further evidence. I think not. Besides, I tire of the banality of this trivial existence and yearn to commune with my inter-dimensional brethern. Leave me now. I will send word of what I expect from you later.
