The Art of the Deal (ammended by Michael Cohen

1       Once you have their money... you never give it back.
2       The best deal is the one that brings the most profit.      
2       Money is everything.      
3       Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to.      
5       Always exaggerate your estimates.      
6       Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity.      
7       Keep your ears open.      
8       Small print leads to large risk.
9       Opportunity plus instinct equals profit.
10       Greed is eternal.      
14       The quickest way to find profits is to let them find you.      
15       Dead men close no deals
16       A deal is a deal... until a better one comes along.
17       A contract is a contract is a contract.
18       A Deal without profit is no deal at all.      
19       Satisfaction is not guaranteed.      
20       He who dives under the table today lives to profit tomorrow.      
21       Never place friendship above profit.      
22       A wise man can hear profit in the wind.      
23       Nothing is more important than your health.
27       There's nothing more dangerous than an honest businessman.      
29       What's in it for me?      
31       Never make fun of a loser's mother. Insult something he cares about instead.
33       It never hurts to suck up to the boss.      
34       War is good for business..
35       Peace is good for business.      
37       The early investor reaps the most interest.
39       Don't tell customers more than they need to know.      
40       She can touch your dick but never your $.      
41       Profit is its own reward.      
43       Feed your greed, but not enough to choke it.      
44       Never confuse wisdom with luck.      
45       Expand or die
47       Don't trust a man wearing a better suit than your own.      
48       The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.      
52       Never ask when you can take
53       Never trust anybody taller than you.      
54       Rate divided by time equals profit.
55       Take joy from profit, and profit from joy.      
57       Good customers are as rare as bearer bond—treasure
58       There is no substitute for success.      
59       Free advice is seldom cheap.      
60       Keep your lies consistent or for 2 weeks or not..      
62       The riskier the road, the greater the profit.      
63       Work is the best therapy-at least for your employees.      
65       Win or lose, there's always Huyperian beetle snuff.      
66       Someone's always got bigger debts.
68       Risk doesn't always equal reward.      
69       Trumps are not responsible for the stupidity of other races.      
74       Knowledge equals profit.
75       Home is where the resort is.      
76       Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.      
77       If you break it, I'll charge you for it!
82       The flimsier the product, the higher the price.      
85       Never let the competition know what you're thinking.      
87       Learn the customer's weaknesses, so that you can better take advantage of him
88       It ain't over 'til its over'
88       Vengeance will cost you everything.
89       Ask not what your profits can do for you, but what you can do for your profits.      
89       [It is] better to lose some profit and live than lose all profit and die.      
92       There are many paths to profit.      
94       Females and finances don't mix.
95       Expand or die.      
97       Enough... is never enough.
98       Every man has his price
98       If you can't take it with you, don't go.      
99       Trust is the biggest liability of all.      
100       When it's good for business, tell the truth.
101       Profit trumps emotion.       The Long Mirage
102       Nature decays, but latinum lasts forever.
103       Sleep can interfere with opportunity
104       Faith moves mountains... of inventory.      
106       There is no honor in peverts
108       Hope doesn't keep the lights on.      
108       A woman wearing clothes is like a man without any profits.      
109       Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack.
110       Exploitation begins at home.      
111       Treat people in your debt like family... exploit them.      
112       Never have sex with the wife's sister.      
113       Always have sex with the boss.      
117       You can't free a fish from water
121       Everything is for sale, even friendship.

135       Listen to secrets, but never repeat them.
139       Wives serve, brothers inherit.      
141       Only fools pay retail.      
144       There's nothing wrong with charity... as long as it winds up in your pocket.      
147       People love the bartender.
151       Even when you're a customer, sell yourself.      
153       Sell the sizzle, not the steak
162       Even in the worst of times someone turns a profit
168       Whisper your way to success.      
177       Know your enemies... but do business with them always.      
181       Not even dishonesty can tarnish the shine of profit.      
182       When life hands you grease, make detergent
184       A Trump waits to bid until his opponents have exhausted themselves.      
188       Not even dishonesty can tarnish the shine of profit.
189       Let others keep their reputation. You keep their money.      
190       Hear all, trust nothing.      
192       Never cheat an Arab unless you're sure you can get away with it.      
193       Trouble comes in threes.      
193       It's never too late to fire the staff.      
194       It's always good business to know about new customers
199       Location, location, location.
200       A Trump chooses no side but his own      
202       Suckers are succulent, but sometimes they bite back
208       Sometimes, the only thing more dangerous than a ? is an answer.      
211       Employees are the rungs on the ladder of success. Don't hesitate to step on them.

214       Never begin a (business) negotiation on an empty stomach.      
216       Never gamble with a telepath.      
217       Always know what you're buying.

235       Duck; death is head high
236       You can buy fate with enough hate
239       Never be afraid to label a product Trump.      
240       Time, like platinum, is a highly limited commodity.      
242       More is good... all is better
243       Always leave yourself an out.      
248       The definition of insanity is trying the same failed scheme & expecting different results
255       A wife is luxury... a smart accountant a neccessity.      
257       When the messenger comes to appropriate your profits, kill the messenger
261       A wealthy man can afford anything except a conscience
263       Never allow doubt to tarnish your lust for gold
266       When in doubt, lie.      
267       If you believe it, they believe it.      
272       Always inspect the merchandise before making a deal.
280       If it ain't broke, don't fix it.      
284       Deep down, everyone's bought.
285       No good deed ever goes unpunished
287       Always get somebody else to do the lifting
288       Never get into anything that you can't get out of
289       A man is only worth the sum of his possessions.      
290       An angry man is an enemy, and a satisfied man is an ally.      
291       The less employees know about the cash flow, the smaller the share they can demand.
292       Betrayal can be fired - the same as loyalty
293       The more time they take deciding, the more money they will spend.      
294       A bargain usually isn't
431       When the shooting starts, let the mercenaries handle it!
432       To retalliate and defeat - humilliate by a tweet

I never ate food from an automat. They never really caught on in the South. Probably because cooked grits have a shelf-life of about ten minutes before they turn into a congealed gelatinous mass even a dog won't eat.

There's a Thai restaurant in Pensacola that shares a building with a car wash. You can enjoy a nice dish of red curry while watching cars go through the wash tunnel.

The cars being washed provide an endless source of distraction, which makes the restaurant a good place to take a dinner companion you plan on ignoring.

The restaurant in question is called Cafe Tuscano and it's one of the best in Idaho (really!). Their food is outstanding and the   tiramisu (made there)is literally national-award-winning. Still, taking guests to the Chevron station for a dinner of grilled tri-tip and veggies with an excellent wine/beer selection (and harder stuff) and very tasty desserts isn't in the usual pervue of folks from, say, DC or Chicago.

In my thinking on one end of the grand pendulum of human events and responses, is the compounding of negative magical thinking mistakes like the Children's Crusade or the 3rd Reich, and on the other end are the compounded enlightenment extremes of Realitivity and super inventions and discoveries.

We may be at the extreme right swing of the pendulum or near to it.
Like when we are on a swing this is the time to gain a little boost to the swing down and to the left. I don't know if sticking our legs out or leaning back is what gives us added momentum. Its probably both but we are going to be OK.

Everyone is overdosed with rule by lies and TV hypnosis to the point of rejection. The old tricks are suspect and the new meme begins.
In reality there are many pendulums at different degrees all swinging simultaneously but I think people visualize in 2 dimensions most easily.

I hope we identify the coming time as a new age instead of a post appocolyptic anything. My highly ignored, arrogant sounding, journal of thought droppings work is done. All thats left is repitition or forever unfinished attempts.

Verse 1
Uh huh it's the plague
Gonna kill you in a few days
A pandemic so severe
The Black Death Caused such horror and fear
And there ain't no cure for that girl
You'll be dead in no time flat girl
You'll get acral necrosis
From the Yersinia Pestis
And it makes your tongue all black girl
Gonna bury out in back girl

Hook
Ooh, Fleas on rats (X5)

Verse 2
Started in China, don't know how
But the Mongols used Biological Warfare
At Kaffa hurled the Italians at Geonesse
The Italians fled back to Sicily
And in 1347
The Black Death said hello to Europe
In infected fleas
From port cities along trade roads
Buboes swelling in the nodes
And it spread real fast like that girl
Better flee when you see a rat girl
People livin for the now, bro
Like that Book by Boccaccio
Oh you could be a [?] girl

[Hook]
Ooh, Fleas on rats (X5)

Verse 3
5 kilometers a day
And in 5 years
Killed two-thirds of the population
Some blamed the lepers or Jews
Did they poison the wells?
It led to peasant revolts
Loss of faith
And some serious persecution
People carried out patches of herbs
to protect them from the smell
Doctor's didn't know what caused it
Bolt your door if your family's afflicted
Bodies in the cart girl
Skeletons in the art girl
But the decreased population
led to amelioration
Of the peasant folk, hey
they could ask for more pay

[Hook]
Ooh, Fleas on rats (X5)

Verse 4
Let me hear you say
This plague is bubonic
B-U-B-O-N-I-C
This plague is bubonic

This plague is bubonic

We are arriving at 100,000 deaths a month early on June 1st.
Thats a third of all the corona deaths in the world.
WHY?
By Presidential order 29 states are reopening and no mask is a symbol of bravery and Freedom. The CDC has been cut and fired into oblivion.
The WHO had been defunded by the USA.
The pandemic has been declared a hoax and now its all Obama's fault.
Fox news says take the RED pill like in the Matrix and that the only problem we have is a lockdown by Democrats.

When a virus has an R value of 3 and a third of the country exposes themselves, the rates can only climb. People believe they are bigger than a virus and they would be foolishly RIGHT.

But we'll meet again up yonder
Where the parting will be no more."

I hear the soft wind creepin'
Through every bush and tree.
I know my mother's waiting
In her heavenly home for me.

Now, Daddy moved back home to North Fork
And he left us here all alone.
And the sheriff came by one evening
And he took us to an orphan's home.

So come all you orphan children,
Who's left down here below,
We'll go and meet our mothers
Where the parting will be no more.

I hear the soft wind creepin'
Through every bush and tree.
I know my mother's waiting
In her heavenly home for me.

I'm alone, all alone, my friends all have fled
My father's a drunkard, my mother is dead.
I'm a poor little girl, I wonder and weep
For the voice of my mother to sing me to sleep.
She sleeps on the hill, in a bed made of clay
How cold it did seem to lay mother away.
She's gone with the angels, and none do I see
So dear as the face of my mother to me.

cho: I'm a little lone girl in this cold world so wild,
God look down and pity the drunkard's lone child.
Look down and pity, Oh soon come to me
Take me to dwell with mother and Thee.

We were so happy till father drank rum;
Then aII our sorrows and troubles begun.
Mother grew paler and wept every day;
Baby and I were too hungry to pIay.
SIowIy they faded and one summer night
Found their sweet faces aIl silent and white
And with big tears sIowIy dropping I said,
"Father's a drunkard and mother is dead."

Oh, if some temperance workers could find
Poor wretched father and speak very kind,
If they could stop him from drinking, why then,
I would feel very happy again.
Is it too Iate? Men of temperance, please try,
For poor littIe Bessie will soon starve and die.
All day Iong I've been begging for bread.
Father's a drunkard and mother is dead.

My father is a drunkard,
My mother, she is dead;
And I am just an orphan child,
No place to lay my head;
All through this world I wander,
They drive me from their door,
Some day I'll find a welcome
On Heaven's golden shore.

Now if to me you'll listen,
I'll tell my story sad;
How drinking rum and gambling
Hell Has stole away my dad;
My mother is in heaven,
Where God and the angels smile;
And now I know she's watching
Her lonely orphan child.

We all were once so happy,
And had a happy home;
Till dad, he went to drinking rum,
And then he gambled some;
He left my darling mother,
She died of a broken heart;
And as I tell my story,
I see your tear-drops start.

Don't weep for me and mother,
although' I know 'tis said;
But try to get someone to cheer
And save my poor lonely dad;
"I'm awful cold and hungry,"
She closed her eyes and sighed;
Then those who heard her story,
Knew the orphan child has died.

Father, dear Father, come home with me now;
The clock in the steeple strikes one.
You said you were coming right home from the shop,
As soon as your day's work was done.
The fire is all out, the house is all dark,
And Mother's been watching since tea,
With poor little Benny so sick in her arms,
And no one to help her but me.

Chorus: Come home, come home, come home;
Please, Father, dear Father, come home.

Father, dear Father, come home with me now;
The clock in the steeple strikes two.
The night has grown colder and Benny is worse,
But he has been calling for you.
Indeed, he is worse; Ma says he will die,
Perhaps before morning shall dawn,
And this is the message she sent me to bring:
Please, Father, dear Father, come home.

Father, dear Father, come home with me now;
The clock in the steep strikes three.
The house is so lonely, the hours are so long,
For poor weeping Mother and me.
Yes, we are alone; poor Benny is dead
And gone with the angels of light.
And these are the very last words that he said:
"I want to kiss Papa goodnight."

(Chorus)

I remember how my girl friend Linda found me and was more upset than me. I was more surprised than upset.
2% of medications are vaccines compared with all other drugs.
That may temporarily change soon.
Internet nuts like Jenny McCarthy are so anti vaccine I just didn't want to besmerch vaccines in any way, but rushing to a vaccine is a lesson well learned now.

Don, I moved your interesting remark about your vaccine experience to the vaccine watch thread.

"Dead Babies" - Alice Cooper

Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin
She got them from the shelf upon the wall
Betty's mommy wasn't there to save her
She didn't hear, hear her little baby call

Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well, we didn't want you anyway
Lalala-lalalalalala-la

Daddy is an agrophile in Texas
Mommy's on the bar most every night
Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard
Living there in burgundy and white

Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well, we didn't love you anyway
Lalala-lalalalalala-la

Goodbye little Betty
Goodbye little Betty
So long little Betty
So long little Betty
Betty, so long

Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well, we didn't need you anyway
Lalala-lalalalalala-la

Goodbye little Betty
