Citizen Journalist: "This article isn't live but on videotape. We wish to welcome Spearchucker

to our writing staff. He is our token black. There were those that claimed that 'Citizen

Journalist Comsats' was lily-white; this, in spite of the fact, that all of our janitors and

some of our secretaries are black as are the doorman at the entrance to our five comsats

(web sites). Welcome, Spearchucker, let's break bread together. We have: cornbread,

fried chicken, black-eyed peas and watermelon. We want you to feel at home. Draw your

weekly paycheck. You need not report to work everyday nor contribute to future articles.

S: "After all of these years, it's good to be back with Dago and Duke. I never got to know

Ho Jon - the yella one." CJ: "The wearing of the white sheet to 'CJC' functions is optional."

Richard D.: "Have you ever noticed on movies and TV shows how lightning and thunder

transpire at the same time? In reality, we see the flash prior to hearing the sound - light

travels faster than sound. It irritates me." CJ: "Thank you for that contribution which was

most apropos to what we are talking about." RD: "Indeed. It's during such storms that the

bogeyman or booger man is most likely to kill or abduct the lily-white lads. With the

inclusion of the Spearchucker, we can no longer be accused of being bigots. Rumors laid

to rest. I was remiss: CJ's brother-in-law is black." (See: "The Truth About Blacks Colored"

As is our wont, we commence with cosmos followed by dealing with cosmos (which means

world) and Offending with Truth when circumstances warrant.

      The orbits of asteroids in the Asteroid Belt around the sun are nearly circular. There are

times when the gravity of Jupiter will nudge an asteroid into an elliptical orbit wherein the closest

part of its orbit around the sun crosses earth's orbit. These are known as near-earth asteroids.

The closest part of their orbit is .9 to 1.3 AUs (Astronomical Unit is the distance of the earth

from the sun and is about 93 million miles). The dangerous ones are over 500 feet wide; over

.6 miles could cause a mass extinction. Those that are over 500 feet, we list there distance

as fractions or multiples of the moon distance from earth (about 250,000 miles).

      The earth has two moons! There is an asteroid that is 3.3. feet wide and orbiting the earth.

Such orbits are temporary; they stop orbiting the earth within a year when they infrequently

occur - caught be earth gravity.(See "Citizen Journalist Caveat" at www.rickaddsite.blogspot.com )

It's time to play: When was it written. Was it written: yesterday?; Last year?; Five years Ago?

"It is as difficult to talk to votaries of the TVA about their dreamchild, as it is to talk to the

American Civil Liberties Union about the Bill of Rights. They don't want to discuss it, they want to

burn incense to it." (CJ: By the bye. the ACL is the most dangerous lib org in existence. Founded in

the 1920s with the overt and claimed mission of protecting our  rights; its covert mission has been to

transform U.S. into a secular-progressive nation with a 'living' constitution far removed from our

Founding Fathers. They have achieved much!). Let's get back to our game. If you said "1963" you

are right. Your prize: Tear another page out of the U.S. Constitution. ("Quotations from Chairman

Bill" {Buckley} compiled by David Franke, Pocket Books). (From the TVA's inception in the '20s to

the present, libs have considered the TVA a complete success).

       What does the late President Ronald Reagan have to say? Citizen Journalist: "Pardon me for

being late for I was in the bathroom; let's be PC: man's room. Of course, the two of you know each

other: Bill and Ron; pardon me for taking liberties Mr. President. Mr. Reagan, you are the man. The

article is yours...Ronald Reagan: "...considered above criticism, sacred as motherhood, is TVA.

This program started as a flood control project; the Tennessee Valley was periodically ravaged by

destructive floods. The Army Engineers set out to solve this problem. They said that it was possible

that once in 500 years there could be a total capacity flood that would inundate some 600,000

acres. Well the engineers fixed that. They made a permanent lake which inundated a million

acres. This solved the problem of the floods, but the annual interest on the TVA debt is five times as

great as the annual flood damage they sought to correct. Of course, you will point out that TVA gets

electric power from the impounded waters, and this is true, but today 85 per cent of the TVA's

electricity is generated in coal burning steam plants. Now perhaps you'll charge that I'm

overlooking the navigable waterway that was created, providing cheap barge traffic, but the bulk of

the freight on that waterway is coal being shipped to the TVA steam plants, and the cost of

maintaining that channel each year would pay for shipping all the coal by rail, and there would be

money left over.

      "One last argument remains:  the prosperity produced by such large programs of government

spending. Certainly there are few areas where more spending has taken place. The Labor Department

lists 50 per cent of the 169 counties on the Tennessee valley as permanent areas of poverty,

distress, and unemployment."

      Citizen Journalist: "Thank you Mr. President and Bill. Though, the U.S. Supreme Court ignorantly

deemed it constitutional it constitutes one of the biggest U.S. socialist projects ever! BIG GOV follows

one stupid decision with another; gov projects get bigger with time and these projects get progressively

worse. Just look at fed gov involvement in healthcare: $40 billion of annual waste and fraud in Medicare and

Medicaid. What does our socialist president want: BIGGER gov involvement in healthcare! Fed gov can

create gov jobs that curtail the freedoms of businesses and the citizenry; also redundant and

unnecessary gov jobs. They can create short-lived private sector jobs. Only the private sector can create

numerous creative and meaningful long-lived jobs in the private sector. Keynesian Libs like FDR, LBJ and

Obama worshipped at the Keynesian alter spending BILLIONS of YOUR $$$s on failed gov projects and

failed shovel-ready projects (in some cases contracting with private companies; nearly 1 Trillion was spent

by Obama in stimulus to create nearly 2 million gov and private sector jobs - virtually all the private sector

jobs were short-lived! Never are newly created gov jobs short-lived! Do you think that your $$$s were wisely

 spent!?! Each job cost: you do the math). As we stated in an article a  few floors down (focus; take an

Adderall to remember the name of the article before the end of this article), In the private sector, 3% of workers

 are laid-off or fired annually; in the public arena: 1/2%! Could it be that gov workers are so good? Not likely!

 It is virtually impossible to lay-off or fire an incompetent gov worker due to gov unions and civil service rules.

RD: "The late Alfred Hitchcock is on vacation. Do visit downstairs: Start with Sub-Floor 1 and proceed down

another level. Each level is filled with good stuff and not out of date: We swear to NASA Enjoy!

Spearchucker, welcome aboard. Make yourself scarce." {Director Topper: "Cut. That's a wrap. Great job."}
