Urban Poverty Law Center

blogosphereons : The World Wonders and Waits I have been fortunate to have met and befriended many interesting people in my lifetime. Many were my teachers while in school. I have most recently been in contact with a fellow who when in his late 20's was a middle school football coach and science teacher. He was a no nonsense teacher who was an iron fisted disciplinarian not unusual for late 1960's southern school systems. He is now retired and is 70 yrs old. He says I am too fat and will soon die dragged to a premature death my my large girth. "Nothing worse than over eating!" he says. Guilty. Each athletic coach had a wooden paddle with a nickname like baby, or the stinger, or the butt-thwacker, and in those days, the coaches were eager to dole out the swats to any youngster who crossed the line. Punishment was swift and public and full of humiliation when you were chosen for the public paddling in front of the class, which included the girl you were trying to impre...

Fellow Workers of The World: What happens when the people hate the government as much as the government hates the people? Answer: Egypt, Lybia , Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Greece, China, Madison, Wisconsin................................................... Mandatory spending by our beneficent Federal Potentate and Protectorate was a cool 2.184 trillion dollars. Of these monies 1.448 trillion dollars went to pay for social security, medicare, and medicaid obligations. Add 11billion dollars for disaster relief and 164 billion for interest payments on the debt and all that is left up to ones imagination is the 571 billions in miscellaneous expenses(ME)! What ever do you suppose the ME include? Twenty-five percent of mandatory spending is not cataloged. My thinking of what happened to the ME: Phil McCracken , Gay Czar: " Mr. President, word on the street has the military spending on technology that can predict one's sexual preference at 100% certainty. They are calling it, " gayd...

People of The World: I come to praise seizures not to bury him! Am I the only one who thinks Muammar Qaddafi is looking like Jimmy Hendrix in drag? That is one ugly dictator! Please refer back to my end of times article dated 11/9/10 to see that the great banking minds in control have gone to plan A where world strife causes the dollar to rise up from the dead to take its rightful place at the head of the world's currencies, only subservient to GOLD: G: God's O: Only L: Legitimate D: Dollar The latest unrest is caused by the manipulation of the weather and the food shortages which ensued. People with empty bellies are not happy people. We have been overfed and stuffed with corn starch laden drinks here in the US for so long we have forgotten what hunger pains really feel like. Over half the kids in the US are too fat to tie their shoes. Some genius decided to keep them from feeling bad by fashioning a shoe that does not need tying. When we were kids we tied our shoes to keep ...

Blogosphereons: I am now completely spooked and disconcerted and out of sorts after listening to George Noory about end times with changes in the earth's magnetic poles, and loss of the ionosphere, solar flares, earthly foreign bodies, the arrival of the brown dwarf star, and earth quakes in my area!!!!!!! Yikes! I am going to start building my self contained survival apparatus out of Styrofoam and duct tape lined with aluminum foil to protect me from radiation with a years supply of food, water and toilet paper. It would probably be cheaper to just pay up my burial insurance policy and hope that C. Batsell Bateman survives my demise. Gravity is changing, and so is the magnetic field of the earth. We are doomed. I am going to curl up in bed now and wait for the end. UPLC policy on end of times: Women and children first, man the life boats, prayer, redemption, food storage, run! Save the government workers as they have survival skills far beyond the ordinary man. After the ...

Susan, my secretary, and I had to go out to check the cows yesterday since Larry had to be in court to see about adopting his grandchildren. It was a beautiful day with a slight breeze from the south and temps in the low 60's F. Larry likes to look at the ones who are ready to calve twice a day and more frequently if a heifer is near. We have pulled about three calves in the past couple of years, only one that was alive. Well we were met by the majority of the herd who associates us with food, all parties inspected us and after noting no food, went about grazing or lazing about the pasture. Susan and I headed off across the pasture to look at the playpen where all the new calves hang out together with only one momma cow in attendance. As we got close to the playpen, I heard a strange sounding "moo" which came from our east over a small rise. The pitch of the moo changed and was louder than is typical. The majority of the cattle herd was still north of our locati...

Blogosphereons: Chicken count is now ten. Susan, my secretary, found one of the older dames dead of natural causes. No, not Tysons. My chickens are for eggs only. When they quit laying we keep them in the hen house and yard and let them scratch around and eat like the producers. We are grateful for the nearly 750 eggs the old gal made for us. Bell's cow old number 38 had a calf yesterday. It is a boy! Mother and baby are doing just fine. That is the 61st cow. Three more about to deliver. News when it breaks. I am an omelet lover. I like a cheese omelet made with sharp cheddar cheese and fresh farm eggs, count 2. I eat an omelet each day. Too much cholesterol you might say? Well cholesterol is a precursor to testosterone, the male sex hormone which is disappearing in our major metropolitan centers along with our native born population. Any connection with our society's preoccupation with longevity and lowering cholesterol and men with finicky pop-ups? Let me get this straight, I...

Blogosphereons: Letters to and from A Son of A Bitch 2 November 1987 Jack, This finds me in Hollywood across from Gauman's Chinese theater, in the heart of sin-city--Grumman's maybe it was and is now named Mann's so maybe Mr. Mann bought it, anyhow I had a sumptuous breakfast at Burger King and bought the newspapers and will in a short while go to see tiny tits and the Bronx flash and see about getting my expense check. They must think I am a big rich Southerner. I am hoping the receipts from Burger King and even cheaper places if I can locate them will bring them to the conclusion that I need my money. The flight out was very long and boring seated between a Japanese girl and a man wearing jeans and a moustache reading an Alastair McLean novel and drinking water. The Jap miss did not eat or drink anything or say anything but something in Japanese that sounded like "Oink-Oink," to which I replied Moshe-moshe a-noney-ah so desca, which I think means just a moment i...

Blogosphereons: I am frazzled. Albert Gore, Jr my fellow Tennessean, with his funny ideas about global warming has caused some of the coldest temperatures and snowiest days here in West Tennessee. It was 4 degrees F this am when my bladder signaled my sleep was ending. My mind needs eight hours of sleep to feel rested, but my bladder is ready to get up in only six hours. I wish my organs would compromise and split the difference. I feel so tired all the time. Snowed on Monday, about 3 inches in a couple of hours, surprised the school folks and they called school off at 10 am. My sister, Notill, is younger than me by about 12 yrs. Mother was in the change of life when she was conceived, and Mother thought she was dying with a tumor for several months after she began to swell and throw up. Mama was 49 when Notill was born. Like all babies in the family, Notill was doted upon and was spoiled from the get-go. I do not think she ever cried and my mother and her mother kept Notill happy by f...

Blogosphereons: World War IV is on and in case you haven't been paying attention, the think tank over at the Global/Urban Poverty Law Center has been carefully watching the situation and is ready to point out some of our incredible and unique observations. Being a near complete shut-in for years brings with it either genius or insanity. I am too close to my situation to be an impartial critic. I will leave that critical judgement to the historians of the next generation to ferret out. 1: WWIV began in ernst on 11.09.2001 when the box cutters sliced the slice that was felt around the world. 2. The US invades Iraq and Afganistan with WWII mindset tactics against a 21st century freedom fighter who will not be tricked into fighting a conventional "stand your ground and fight like a man" which was so stupidly practiced by the Western World for the last millenium. Great way to kill societies expendable young males, but a hard way to fight in terms of blood losses and tre...

Blogosphereons: Imagine my shock to go through the mail for the Urban Poverty Law Center and find a letter from a George Soros funded group, "People Who Color Outside the Box"! In the letter, one of their corporate lawyers, Dennis Doubel-Latte, Esq, has ordered me to cease and give up my organization's name as it sounds too similar to his client's "Urbane Poverty Law Centre." Quite frankly, I do not see the problem as their institution's title is not even close to mine! I think he is on a fishing expedition and wants to buy my UPLC so he can have the coolest think tank name. I have dictated the following letter to Mr. Dennis Doubel-Latte, Esq. if that is his real name: 08,02,2011 Dear Mr. Doubel-Latte: I refer to your letter dated 21,01,2011 on your fancy Urbane Poverty Law Centre letter head and I reject your inference that my institution which was founded in 1988to help get America's Urban Poor's stories out and help get a dialog between the ha...

Blogosphereons: I don't like to comment on pop culture, but from what I saw of the Super Bowl, it was the worst kind of bread and circuses. Has the entertainment industry gone completely nuts with the reading of the Declaration Of Independence and that flag waving in your face patriotism on display and up until Super Skank Christina Aguilera croaked out her autistic rendition of the Star Spangled Banner I thought the teams were going to get into Nascars and drive around and around the stadium at 200 plus mph for an hour. Do they think we will not come for them when all this collapses? History will not be kind to those who have destroyed this country, nor will the crowd that gathers them up to mete out the punishments. I will not participate, but like the fellow who lives too near the train tracks, it is hard not to watch when a crash is eminent. The commercials were some of the worst tripe ever. Has 5th avenue been taken over by middle schoolers or has the mercury from fluore...

Blogosphereons of the World Ms. Blunderdoss informs me I must put out a Global Poverty Law Center Policy on the Middle East. I have tried to come up with something that will not be inflammatory and taken the wrong way by any of the parties in the ME, but someone over there will likely as not be offended at what ever I come up with. Global Poverty Law Center calls for an immediate halt to all violence, and we do not condone violence as a means to an end in any situation, exceptions are made for lingerie football and beach volley ball only if the contestants are female and scantily clad. Large demonstrations of the poor wielding sticks and stones to break my bones shouting words that never hurt me is to be frowned upon unless the leaders of such a mob have gone through proper channels and obtained the required permits for grade I to V level civil unrest and violence. There are 5 grade levels of civil unrest that are permitted in civil societies. Grade I involves shouts of chants used to ...

Blogosphereons I was talking to Ms. Blunderdoss yesterday and she feels like it is time for our organization to spread its wings and grow. She thinks a small office off Highway 70 near the Cedar Grove, Tennessee post office would be the perfect location. There we could answer the reams of mail and email we have been getting for information on our specific proposals to end urban and global poverty! Do not bother with the rest of the narrative as it is a cheesy commercial, but we need to build our area up with good people who are still active and want to make a difference. Rome wasn't build in a single day. I have a 2 acre lot that was my uncle Bedford's that he got when he did some carpentry work for the Jolly's who owned a large farm in Cedar Grove. Uncle Bedford always thought it would be a good spot to build a fruits and vegetable market as it had great access to Highway 70, which was the main thoroughfare through the US before the interstate system came in to cut the...
