LENNY!

I have read different articles over the years about how we should all make a list of the things we want to do before we die.

One of the things I want to put on my list is to stop procrastinating, because I still haven't made the list.

This was brought home to me today as I was reading the Saturday morning paper and saw an article about a comedian in the 50's and 60's, Jack Roy.

(He used his real name then, Jacob Cohen.... and then Jack Roy.)

Thinking about Jack brought a smile to my lips because he was the poster child for determination.

Good old Jack/Jacob was in show business for 10 years and his career was so small that when he quit........ he was the only one that knew it!

Still, Jacob/Jack never gave up. He went out and got a job as an Aluminum Siding Salesman (The latest thing!) and for the next ten years he supported his family that way before making a big comeback as "Rodney Dangerfield!"

Jacob had hit the big time but I remember him best because he started out as one of a whole gang of stand-up's in the late 50's and early 60's who lived, breathed and worked around Broadway in NYC.

They were the denizens of the night and the original "In Crowd" which included the likes of Mort Sahl, Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Woody Allen, Sid Caesar, Jonathan Winters, Joan Rivers, Robert Klein, Bill Cosby, George Carlin and a host of others who I won't bother to name in the interest of brevity.

All of these "hipsters" plus the musicians, and yes the pimps and hookers all had an unofficial "spokesman," and his name was Lenny Bruce.

NOW, the reason for this long winded narration is this.

Our hapless hero (Jacob) was one of Lenny's best friends and the two of them spent many nights amongst the werewolves and other creatures of the night in the bowels of NYC.

It was a time when the term "Hip" meant Jazz and Junk, and not Pot and Pop.

It was a time of the original "cool" and if nothing else Lenny was one of the coolest cats around!

Lenny was the epitome of the "Beat Generation!"

So, on my list....... (Remember my list?) I had always planned to somehow meet Jacob Cohen/Jack Roy/Rodney Dangerfield and get him to tell me some Lenny stories! They would have been amazing!

But, because I didn't make the list, and so never got around to doing it, the S.O.B. went and died on me and now the opportunity is gone.

How's that for a turn of events, I never got no respect from Rodney Dangerfield!

DANGER Will Robinson, DANGER!

You know, there is nothing I like better on a quiet Saturday afternoon than to get a message from some idiotic, asinine, ranting, foaming at the mouth, crazy, unhinged conspiracy fanatic about his/her latest paranoid delusion.

They are about as funny as the religious nuts, (especially the "end of the world" ones) except that when I try and put myself in their head-space to find out what motivates them I soon find my eyes starting to cross and drool seeps out of my mouth! Check this out!!!!

ELEMENTS IN OUR GOVERNMENT DELIBERATELY ALLOWED 9/11
Why were "hijacked" airliners allowed to fly around the Eastern U.S. for hours without being intercepted, pursued, or even seen by our military jets???

How could Flight 77 slam into the Pentagon unopposed, 45 minutes after the WTC was struck by other "hijacked" airliners??? How did that huge Boeing with a wingspan of 125 feet disappear into an initial impact hole merely 16 feet wide??? Why does our government refuse to release any clear video of what happened to Flight 77 at the Pentagon???

Why did WTC Building #7, which housed CIA, FBI, SEC, Giuliani's bunker, etc., implode exactly like a professionally-controlled demolition given that it was not struck by a plane & had a few small, scattered fires??? Why did the WTC Towers erupt, explode, & collapse at virtually free-fall speed???

Why was Bush allowed to remain in that schoolhouse so very long, a pre-publicized target, also endangering the children???

Why did top officials of the Bush regime, PNAC Neo-conservatives, state in the year 2000 that their plans for "preemptive" wars [U.S. wars of aggression] would take too long to implement, "...Absent some catastrophic & catalyzing event--like a New Pearl Harbor" ??? Why did a "New Pearl Harbor" then prophetically occur on 9/11/01, paving the way for them to invade Afghanistan, Iraq, (Iran next)???

Please watch "Loose Change" free on the web & visit: 911truth.org - 911inquiry.org - physics911.net questioning911.com - WTC7.net - 911Blogger.com 911revisited.com - mujca.com - 911review.com - 9/11proof.com stoplying.ca - ny911truth.org - mime11.com & hundreds of other truth sites for overwhelming proof that 9/11 was an inside job!!!

Wake-up now! Research the above facts for yourselves! Our nation & the world are in peril!!!!

This makes about as much sense as the religious nuts who propagate the myth (conspiracy theory) that it was the Jews who were responsible for the death of Jesus. (Or, as Lenny Bruce said many years later. “I found a note in the basement. It said. We did it! Signed - Morty.")
