In Her Own Words

In an 11 August 2009 interview with Esquire, the inane dentist-lawyer Orly Taitz describes in detail why she relentlessly and endlessly -- if futilely -- seeks to strip Barack Obama of office

I am extremely concerned about Obama specifically because I was born in Soviet Union, so I can tell that he is extremely dangerous. I believe he is the most dangerous thing one can imagine, in that he represents radical communism and radical Islam: He was born and raised in radical Islam, all of his associations are with radical Islam, and he was groomed in the environment of the dirty Chicago mafia. Can there be anything scarier than that?

Red Hill Mining Town

I was struck by this remarkable song from the first time I heard it. I find it captures the desperation of those who survive the days only because of the hope of nightly respite. The song's conceit of a poor, depleted mining ton is apt.The imagery of the song captures the despair of people living in such dire circumstances that all hope, faith, and eventually even love is eroded.

The title of the song is Red Hill Mining Town, and it is taken from the very successful album The Joshua Tree by U2, an amazing group of musical artists native to Dublin, Ireland.

Irony

My Life Had Stood - A Loaded Gun

Today I came across a short poem by Emily Dickinson. Reading it gave me pause to remember another Dickinson poem, one I first read in college and never forgot.

My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -
In Corners - till a Day
The Owner passed - identified -
And carried Me away -

And now We roam in Sovereign Woods -
And now We hunt the Doe -
And every time I speak for Him -
The Mountains straight reply -

And do I smile, such cordial light
Upon the Valley glow -
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let its pleasure through -

And when at Night - Our good Day done -
I guard My Master's Head -
'Tis better than the Eider-Duck's
Deep Pillow - to have shared -

To foe of His - I'm deadly foe -
None stir the second time -
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -
Or an emphatic Thumb -

Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without--the power to die--

For me this is the definitive Dickinson poem. It expresses all the passion, frustration, anger, desire, and melancholy that drove the great poet. The sensuous pleasure of a shared pillow is juxtaposed with the loneliness of being unnoticed until that fateful day the Owner claimed possession of the poet. The danger expressed is unmistakable; to this danger is added the unpredictable volatility of a  "Vesuvian face."

This poem more than any other, in my opinion, lends insight into the true soul of the outwardly sedate  and reclusive poet.

Orly Taitz Falls Victim to the Obots

On 9 June, Orly Taitz was soundly defeated in the California Republican primary in her bid to secure the nomination for Secretary of State. Mainstream Republicans across the state breathed a collective sigh of relief; now their selected candidates will not be forced to run on the same ticket with this inane woman. All the same, the only persons expecting Dr. Taitz to emerge victorious from this campaign were the self-aggrandizing candidate herself, her equally deluded sycophants, and a handful of delusional Birthers.

It's not as if Dr. Taitz ever truly desired to fill the office and oversee its duties. She merely viewed the office of California Secretary of State as a means to establish standing in her quixotic quest to unseat the President of the United States. (Honestly! The things you learn at a correspondence law school.)

If any one thing in the universe is true, that would be Dr. Taitz's unwillingness to play the role of a gracious loser. In fact, watchers are debating the length of time it will take the disappointed office seeker to fire off missives alleging fraud, collusion, and ballot-tampering by those who would damper the force of her righteous crusade  against Barack Obama.

A humorous prediction of Dr. Taitz's response was posted on PolitiJab by Sterngard Friegen, a regular contributor to that site. He refers to Dr. Taitz's anticipated response as "Orly's Seven Stages of Grief."

Denial - This isn’t happening to me! I was supposed to win! The machines are fixed. The vote isn’t over. Only 99.999% of the vote has been counted. I can still win if the last 0.001% turns out to be 765,129 votes for me.

Anger - This isn’t happening to me! I was supposed to win! The machines are fixed. All of the Tea Party grass roots candidates are being defrauded with only 25% of the vote. This is outrageous. The birther painting. The gas hose pipe with the fumes coming into my house from my 9 car basement garage is all part of the conspiracy against me and the hate crime!

Bargaining - Call the FCC to investigate MSNBC and help shut them down. I know we can do it as I am constitutional attorney. We will challenge the vote within 10 30 days of election. Join with me. Hit my PayPal button, too, since I only live in a $5 million house and need money from those of you living on subsistence.

Depression - This isn’t happening to me! I was supposed to win! The machines are fixed. The vote isn’t over. Only 99.9999% of the vote has been counted. All of the Tea Party grass roots candidates are being defrauded with only 25% of the vote. This is outrageous. The birther painting. The gas hose pipe with the fumes coming into my house from the 9 car basement garage! Call the FCC to investigate MSNBC and help shut them down. We’ll challenge the vote within 10 30 days of the election. Join me. Hit my PayPal button. I only live in a $5 million house and need money from those of you living on subsistence.

Litigation - I’m suing Dunn, the pancake birther artist, Bowen (again), Obama, Diebold, all of the judges who have denied me discovery, Danny Bickel, Does 1 to 1,000,000 and LTCOL Lakin for not selecting me as his constitutional attorney. They are all guilty of RICO violations and hate crimes against me.

Acceptance - Have you seen that once again my website is in the top 1% of all United States websites and I am #3 in Yahoo Search? I guess I will have to run write in campaign. Hit my PayPal button.

 Sterngard Friegen acknowledges this list includes only six stages, but he doubts the ability of the good dentist-lawyer to count to seven.
