About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a weekly basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

IQ UQ We All Q 4N IQ

I know,
something must be ailing me.
My
IQ
score has dropped.
I need to eat more fish,
spinach,
eggs,
lentils,
beets,
sardines,
and sprinkle some flax on my morning
Hall & Oats!
Then I'll be just fine.
What is an
IQ
you ask?
Well I'll take it from the horses mouth.
By the way,
the horses mouth is:
And they say an
IQ
is an
Intelligence Quotient.
"An assessment of your ability to think and reason. IQ score is a standardized way of comparing this ability with the majority of people the same age as you are. A score of 100 means that compared to these people in your general age group that you have basically an average intelligence. Most psychologists would say those scoring in a range of 95 to 105 are of a normal intelligence or have an average IQ. Actual IQ score may vary plus or minus five points since it is very difficult to get an IQ score with complete accuracy. Keep in mind, there are many outside factors that may have a negative impact on your score. For instance, if you are not feeling well at the time of taking the test. Or perhaps you are distracted by something on that particular day. These things may affect your score. Additionally, IQ is not the be all end all of a person's abilities in life. IQ score fails to measure things such as manual dexterity, musical talent, and a slew of other abilities that may lead one to many different successes in life. However, your score on an IQ test will give you a pretty accurate indication of the ability you possess to think, reason, and solve problems which can often be critical in many phases of your life."
There are my two escape goat sentences,
right in the middle of the paragraph.
"Keep in mind, there are many outside factors that may have a negative impact on your score. For instance, if you are not feeling well at the time of taking the test."
Ahhhh-chooooo.
See,
I must be under the weather to get a score like that.
One hundred thirty,
indeed!
Wait until I write a letter of explanation to the
that my score was tainted by illness
and that I should belong to their little
World
of the upper
2% Geeks.
And if they won't let me in their pretentious little group,
I'll take my number 2 pencil
and go home!
So there!

This is,
Eating Brain Food As We Speak,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Studies show that the IQ range of most creative people is surprisingly narrow, around 120 to 130. Higher IQs can perform certain kinds of tasks better, like logic, feats of memory, and so on. But if the IQ is much higher or lower than that, the window of creativity closes. Nonetheless, for some reason we believe more is better, so people yearn for tip-top IQs, and that calls for bigger memories. A fast, retentive memory is handy, but no skeleton key for survival.”
- Diane Ackerman -
P.S.
An update on 1/6/2016
There are only twenty questions so this is,
by no means,
an accurate indicator of your IQ.
But,
it is fun to brag to people how high you can get your score up to!

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Is Adolf Hitler Reincarnated As Donald Trump?

"O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!"
Donald Trump has released his first TV AD Campaign  
After being released on 
5 hours ago, 
at the time of writing this, 
I'm happy to say, 
there has been only 565 views of this hate-monger's rhetoric. 
I know some of you will relish in every word spoken by this prejudice Candidate for the Republican Party's nomination for the 
Presidency of the United States, 
because he is saying exactly what it takes to stir the emotion of 
hate 
in everyone's mind. 
Hate is a powerful emotion. 
It can take over a sane man's mind 
and cloud it with insanity. 
It has been used for thousands of years by 
Megalomaniacs 
who believe they have the right of 
omnipotence 
over everyone because of their belief that they are the chosen. 
Chosen, 
in their own minds, 
to rule over the 
Tribe, 
the 
Town, 
the 
State, 
the 
Nation, 
the 
World. 
Whatever kind of power they can get a hold of. 
If you watch 
or listen to Donald Trump's TV AD 
and still think he is making sense, 
I feel sorry for this World. 
Because, 
everything he promises, 
cannot be fulfilled by him 
or anyone else in office. 
He is just trying to stir the juices of hate to get your vote, 
if he wins,
then he'll blame everyone else, 
like Congress for why he can't get things done as 
President of the United States!

This is,
Hoping That Having Only 565 Views Means The Public Is Finally Waking Up To His Lies,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” - Adolf Hitler -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Beware The Panama Disease & The Black Sigatoka Fungus

Oh, 
what a wicked World we live in. 
When a disease called the
Panama
doesn't even make the major media outlet's headlines. 
Another blight on the horizon is the Black Sigatoka. 
A fungus, 
I'm afraid to say, 
that doesn't affect the feet of men and women. 
It's a fungus of a different type. 
They say these two infestations could wipe out mankind's most precious fruit, 
the Cavendish banana. 
What did you think I was talking about? 
It could happen, 
they say by the pessimists, 
within ten years! 
The optimists say, 
who cares, 
since there are over two hundred varieties of bananas in the World 
and only the Cavendish is the only one in trouble so far. 
First, 
the Cavendish banana, 
then what other crop will be lost since genetic engineering has made certain plants vulnerable to new diseases? 
I know we can synthesize whatever kind of food we want, 
but have you ever eaten military rations for a long period of time? 
I couldn't take it more than three days in a row! 
Save the Cavendish 
and you'll save the World, 
from eating synth food!

Robbing Peter To Pay Paul

Do you remember hearing the 
cliche-idiom-wisdom 
of your father 
or grandfather, 
where they say, 
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." 
The fact is, 
people in general, 
are lazy, 
greedy, 
suckers, 
who are born every minute. 
From the rich on down to the poor, 
sooner 
or later, 
you will be suckered in by someone. 
Myself included. 
One of the oldest schemes in the book is to 
"Rob Peter to pay Paul." 
This old cliche is from a time when the
King Of England
demanded payment of taxes from his subjects.
The
Catholic Church Of England
in
London
demanded taxes be paid to them under the name of donations.
Even the
Vatican
in
Rome 
demanded taxes be paid to their
Church,
Saint Peter's Basilica
in the form of donations.
All this to prove your devotion to
God. 
Of course, 
the poor couldn't afford all these taxes, 
so even though your congregation would owe the
Pope
more 
and more back taxes every year, 
it is always easier to 
"Rob Peter so you can pay Paul"  
since 
St. Paul's 
was in your own backyard.
When
Banks
became more predominate, 
where you no longer had to borrow money from the
Church
or a
King,
investors already knew about a scheme that had worked for centuries. 
You might recognize some of the prominent schemers of the last century. 
Bernard Madoff, 
Allen Stanford, 
Victor Lustig, 
and 
Charles P. Bianchi, 
I mean 
Carlo P. Bianchi, 
err I mean 
Charles Ponci, 
err again,
I really mean 
Charles Ponzi. 
He was so good at 
"Robbing Peter to pay Paul" 
that the
World
soon knew him 
and the scheme he perfected as the, 
"The Ponzi Scheme."
See the source image

Wondering What It Takes To Get A Name Like

A State Of Mind

Every year, 
on
January 1st, 
hundreds of new 
California Laws 
go into effect that the general
Public
does not know about. 
Since, 
ignorance of a Law, 
does not exonerate you, 
you should probably take a little initiative 
and find out what might affect your life. 
I know every year, 
the magazine 
Westways, 
which gets delivered to your front door for free if you are a member of the 
lists the 
or new 
"Driving Laws" 
which go into affect on the 1st. 
The city I live in has a few different websites, 
besides the local newspaper  
like the 
which will tell you what they feel are the top ten to fifteen new Laws
you should know about. 
I'm sure every 
State in the Union 
has its own way of at least trying to inform the
Public
what is becoming a new
Law, 
but I can only talk about what
California
does. 
Everywhere else in the
World? 
Good luck to you. 
You are on your own. 
Back to
California. 
If you live in, 
what I like to call 
- A State Of Mind -
they have a website where you can sift through the hundreds of new
Laws
and the thousands of changes to the already existing
California Constitution, 
Statutes, 
and Codes. 
The site is the
Maybe sifting through all the mumbo jumbo that even a good Lawyer
can't memorize,
might give you the gumption to start a 
Ballot Initiative 
or a 
Referendum 
of your own.
To change what you feel are unfair laws
and legislation. 
Especially 
Law
AB 1100.
Which has changed the fee you'll have to pay the 
from $200 to $2,000 for starting your own

Ballot Initiative
or
Referendum. 
Making, 
getting involved in the political process, 
that much more costly
and out of reach for most citizens.
