today,
I also read that the last of the Star Wars movies opening in may is entitled "Starwars III - revenge of the Sith", which reminds me of when Thinman baptised the much talked-about trilogy "Lord of the Rings" as "Bored of the Rings" which inevitably leads me to call the upcoming Starwars III for "Revenge of the Shit..."

today.
i`ll remain somewhat silent. Tomorrow I am going to fight the law, as I`m going to court defending myself on a traffic-inditement, looking at a 830 dollar fee, i`m conored, pissed off and not very writeable. But, if I come out victorious, the prize in the next Flottenheimer Quiz, "Ask The Brain" part 7 which will be posted sometime over the weekend, will be so much more generous.

And as for the election in Denmark:
Going through several american newspapers today I noted that The Danish Peoples Party is consequently spoken of as the anti-immigration party thats keeping the government alive. She - you know who - is the politcal impersonation of HC Andersens "Ugly Duckling" in this his bicentinnial anniversary year. That`s sad and the signal is horryfic:

Ugly bitch in small pond make big impact.


we all know what she looks like so heres something to let the mind wander. thank u lennard!

Well, while Denmark has re-elected prime minister A.F Rasmussen again heavily backed by rightwing furie P.Kjærsgaard, so much for the depth of a nation. Saddening as it is, it`s the term of democracy and the people have spoken. Therefore a little anecdote from the mothernation Estadas Unidos® which we so proudly support in war, and for a large part use as inspiration for a future state
.
Call it the triumph of marketing that Ronald McDonald is more recognizable among kids in the US than George Washington. Among kids worldwide, only Santa Claus is better known in his red and white brand-loyal Coke outfit.
Anyhow. McDonalds now wants to send its hideous crusty haired clown into schools to promote of all things….fitness. Talk about a contradiction. The excact same idiotic clown who pushes kid to consume calorie suicide bombs of burgers and fries (which in large parts of the States is no longer refered to as French fries but freedom fries, due to reluctance of France to participate in the Iraq invasion) sodas and so on, will now be used to tell kids that they need to exercise to burn of calories.
McDonald chief creative officer (!) Marlena Peleo Lazar, announced the Clowns new assignment at a recent symposium organized by the Institute of Medicine to focus on childhood obesity. She also announced that The Clown has been given a new title as Chief Happiness Officer.

I mean, man….I just don’t get it, but im really exicted to see if the Clown will actually ask the kids to stop eating the junk at McDonalds or if he will just recommend an extra go around the shop before downing the desert.

would you still love me?

WHY THIS second rate poet DOESN`T LOVE BIG BUSINESS part 35:

So El Presidente© gave the first annual State of the Union without really going in depth with anything but assuring the People of the World with hot air retorics that we are on the way to Providence: freedom, liberty, democracy will prevail, he stated over and over, to standing ovations from at lot of uniforms.
What he didn’t mentioned but with a sentence about his believe in the straight marriage, and what we didn’t see was the religious right in the background pulling this Pinnochio round by his long nose.
These evangelical activists claim what brought churchgoing Christians – including a lot of hipsanics – to the polls more than ever was the issue of gay marriage. Initiatives banning it were on the ballot in 11 states and passed in everyone, so the religious right is furious with El Presidente© for not addressing the issue much more hardball, in his inaugural speak or in post-election statement as such.
The Arlington group, a coalition of oldschool conservative religious organisations hasted a letter of to El Presidentes© political guru Karl Rove, signed among others by Jerry Falwell (co-founder of Moral Majority, who helped put iconographic Reagan in the white House), James Dobson (Focus on the family, who is accusing cartoon-character SpongeBob for being a gay-icon). They laid down a subtle threat towards the Administrations “defeatist attitude” on gay-marriage and stated that it might be “impossible for us to unite our movement on an issue such as Social Service privatisation where there are already deep misgivings….”

In other terms: It`s payback time!

How did kings who were managers of the StateMachinery™ in 16th century strengthen themselves? They used four major mechanisms:
Bureaucratization, monopolization, creation of legitimacy and the homogenisation of the subject population.

WHY THIS second rate poet DOESNT LOVE BIG BUSINESS part 34:

On october 8th, 4 days before I seriously began putting my head on the blog, I purchased a curved radiator-hose for my Mazda Protégé 1990 at Kragen Auto Parts 1475 41st Avenue, Capitola CA 95010; payed 20,25 dollars to cashier number 053874-01 at register 03-1. Having called in advance to order the hose at phonenumber 831 469 8172, this shop being number 01134 is the Kragen Auto Parts chain, with the payment I concluded transaction number 01468761 in their books.
I had to go there by bus number 73 from downtown Santa Cruz, because two nights earlier, just as I picked up a Mexican family hitchiking up to campus, because their van broke down, the radiatorhose in the Mazda blew, filling the car with steam to the tunes of K-hits 97,9 playing the Monkees` 1967 hit “ Pleasant valley Sunday”.

Driving by bus from Santa Cruz to the surburb of Capitola you – so to speak – are given a tour through the rural city limits, the working poor neighbourhoods of America you hear a lot of but doesn`t see. Here in the periphery of the Californian foodchamber the hoods are mostly occupied by Mexican laborers. Calling it a hood might be a mild exaggeration as the hoods are trailerparks scattered along junctions, intersections, swamped landfills with stunning names like:

Beach View, Eaton Estate, Manon Park, Van Ness Park View, Sunset Park, Pacific Pearl, Golden Torch, Mira Mar, Seabright Shear Cliff …

This kind of housing – accommodation – is what the average working family can expect at an hourly minimum wage around 5 dollars. Mostly working for BIG BUSINESS as Dolé (farming-produce, your banana) K-Mart, WalMart and ofcourse the fast-food industry, I was surprised really, I mean truly, I was so naïve as to believe that the terms were different - but I had to acknowledge the fact that these employers have absolutely no legislative obligations concerning social benefits and security to their employees.
This creates more than one funking paradox of some importance. To keep a family going at this level of income, they typically individually holds more than one job, that is, the individuals in the family who is working and can work. That means that they have to commute a lot. I´ll get back to that.

Paradox 1:
These “working poor”, no longer a workingclass, more a new underclass , are to some extent dependant on social welfare as an compensation due to the lack of obligations from the employer and also caused by a, in general extremely competitive society. This in fact means, that the people working for BIG BUSINESS also is draining the hastly crumbling remains of an American welfare-system and any notions of social security. In other words: BIG FUCKING BUSINESS is letting the State pay for their lack commitment to anything but a major turnover.
And there are still people – educated people; fucking scientists outhere, who claims that unimployment, poverty as such is merely a question of morale failure and deprivation, thus excluding social struturalistic and economic issues, people who state that the underclass is the cancer which eats away at the textures of societies. Among those David Murray, author of the 1994 book ”The Bell Curve” and spin-off publications among which, the danish government is ripping off electorial campaign-material as a little pathetic copy-cat, and by who US and UKsocial politics are more than inspired..
So: BIG BUSINESS can afford not to care, because BIG BUSINESS has no body to take care off, it just moves parts around at will, the stratification of economy celebrated by the right as the wonders of globalization.. That’s not a luxury any human can allow unless driven by a serious deathwish.
To me it seems, more than ever, that it is in fact DAS ÛBERCLASS© in a smooth conflation with BIG BUSINESS, which constitutes the cancer which eats away the textures of societies. The academic and political effort to understand and analyze the “underclass” is worth the good intentions if the results are implemented in real politics. It seems although that the notion of a new “underclass” also serves another purpose, namely to take the focus of the more and more powerfull ÛBERCLASS©, which parallel to its growth in power is shrinking in size.
Well Fuck them too!

Paradox 2:
Also the demand from the white neighbourhoods in nearby surroundings of the trailerparks have, among others social Non Profit organisations working at full speed to better the conditions for the people living in the trailerparks, but subsequently they also help keeping housing prizes on private property at an historic high.

Paradox 3:
And so, back to commuting from job to job. Having more than one job, these workers have miles to cover everyday driving. And they do so often in trucks and SUV`s, but not old beat up cars as you could expect. No, they do the SUV thing, which I in an earlier posting stated as the most energy-consuming commodity in American postwar culture, having raised imports of oil over the last decade with more than ever. See posting 11.27 of WHY THIS second rate poet DOESN´T LOVE BIG BUSINESS part 16. So why don’t they just drive an old beat up car? Do what the simpleliving scum do in Denmark and let the old beat up Opel Corsa 1986 become the ultimate statusymbol. But no: its doesn’t work for these people because they need reliable cars – if theres one thing about the monsterous SUV`s – they are reliable and strong multipurpose cars, though also a terrific statussymbol among the poor. BIG BUSINESS have seen it and target these people. Large motor corporations like Ford and GMC set up deals with financial companies which again gives cheap but long term to the Mexican Worker® buying the brand, not just any car: The Ford or the GMC.
In dire need of commuting – they buy, with public transport is as good as non-existing, and not the thing you rely on for being on time 70 miles down the road.

And the story continues…

February...strange, cherry blossom and spring. While enjoying the apparent coming of spring and writing on a piece in the ongoing "WHY THIS..." which have been very silent, January started by promisong something else - I havnt lost it. I`ve been doing my research, trying to ophold the social structure and order of my family - a vehicle lost at sea in post-industrial military and capitalistic madness.

Anyho: check this one out. Cynisism or just a good laugh

A couple of weeks ago, I asked my son Julius` classteacher, if they would be interested in a 30 minute lecture on Denmark, as we both were growing tired being asked over and over again of our originate; the classic american ignorance almost as present as the arrogance.
She was very glad and open to my suggestion, so one friday morning, I went with Julius to school, and said: "Gather round ye little sheep, and let bwana tell you of Denmark". And I did: I told them about the iceage, the stoneage, about Thor and Frei and how those names runs through history and across borders, I told them about the proud 400 feet hotdogselling Skymountain, about Kings and Queens, about taxes and welfare, of Copenhagen and The westcoast, about school and soccer, about Lego and HC Andersen, I tought them to say A Æ U I Æ Å Å Æ Ø which made them laugh and then it was time for me to stop and have a litte Q&A, as they call it. Question and Answers. They were few, but one stood out though. A little chubby boy called Eddy asked:
"Oh so you are from Denmark...", dragging the name out: "D e n m a r k", tasting it.
"Yes" Julius answered "I told a 100 times."
"But" said Eddy "...but I thought you said K-Mart"

For those of you hwo doesnt know K-MART, its a large chain of hardwaremarkets. But imagine, inside this kid, the pictures he has had for months. This poor family living in K- Mart, talking K-Martish, imagine his parents frustration over their son insisting on the fact that they have a boy from K-Mart in his class, and dad going: "Its allright son I also had an invisble friend when I was your age", and then after having the kid tugged in, concerned and considering to call a shrink before the weekend golf tournament. There should be no interventions.
