Too much has accumulated for a single Blast e-mail to do justice to appreciating the post-election

environs; thus, this first version covers local, regional, statewide, international and cultural concerns,
leaving national issues for the follow-up. Attachments discuss [1]Why The triumph of partisanship
really isn't a bad thing, [2]The Fate of the Presidents Health Care Law [By Scott W. Rasmussen], and
[3]Rush]; also, I have methodically dismembered a frequent blogger on PoliticsPa and, in the process,
evoked just about every secular/progressive meme that has been employed by anti-Semites to
undermine beleaguered Israel; the transcript [updating last weeks] traverses a few websites [because I
stalked him, not allowing loose-ends to be lost] and culminates with That you despise the JudeoChristian Ethic explains your obeisance to Hamas. At this point, anything he may compose would be
anticlimactic; thus, it is vital to capture the rapidity of what seems to be occurring in PA.
Locally, POPE FRANCIS CONFIRMED VISIT TO PHILLY IN 2015 and Controversy swirls
around Cheltenham school superintendent [Reggie Jackson graduated CHS in 64 and I
graduated in 69].
A gaggle of thinkers harboring myriad views of SciFi saw Interstellar [in IMAX, the only way to fly], and
I suspect a sequel is upcoming; perhaps I should have availed myself of the offer from AMC that an
unlimited 'Interstellar' ticket would let me binge because, as I discovered later, he used impressionistic
sound [Couldnt make out some of the dialogue in Interstellar? Good news: Your hearing is fine.].
Nevertheless, it was on the level of Avatar, a must-see.
Among those who were in-attendance was a childhood friend who produced a few
relevant pieces overnight. [1]The Saturday Interview [Finding Our Place in the Stars]
was of the physicist who kept the Interstellar science sharp talks about black holes,
space travel and his optimistic vision of human possibility. [2]On Science Fiction was
an essay by C. S. Lewis that classified its subtypes. [3]By his bootstraps is a short-story
that carries some relevance to this flick; it was written by Robert A. Heinlein [whose
Stranger in a Strange Land was a must-read four decades ago, so college-students
would learn how to grok].
Because "Interstellar" shied away from the divisive issue of Global Warming, the reaction of the two libnewspapers was of-interest; the NY-Times characterized it as The Cinema of Physicists [concluding,
After traveling the universe of Interstellar, Id rather stay home] and the WaPo bemoaned The
fundamental problem with Interstellar [If Earth dies and humans wind up somewhere else, thats not a
W in my book, its a big L.]. Ultimately, an effort to separate fact and fiction seemed to validate its
underlying physics until Anne Hathaways character talked about love being a hidden force of nature;
this was also viewed as a flaw during the brainstorming-session that supervened, although it didnt seem
to be a crucial component of the plot [as gravity had been].
A friend recommended reviewing a distilled slide-show on the discovery of DNA.
After last nights [predicted, despite my having worn my Jason-Peters Jersey all weekend] blow-out by
the Packers, anyone wondering why Philly is attached to the Iggles [and, in my view, perceives the
Giants as the greater rival than Dallas, notwithstanding Tom Landrys stoic legacy] may wish to watch
how the EAGLES scored 4 TDs [c/o Vick/Jackson, mostly, plus Celek] in 7 minutes against Giants; this
also helps to explain some of the anguish following the flipped-personnel, although pivotal in both
instances was size [at least, thats the official word].

In other football news with political-import, it was revealed that Penn State football was
almost given the death penalty, as the NCAA fought-back and asked a judge to uphold
Penn State sanctions. Also, Penn State President Eric Barron committed to review the
Freeh Report, as the NCAA released its own emails and called Penn State interactions
'courteous and professional.' The key-point here, again, is that this issue was a major
under-toe that Wolf didnt even have to invoke [along with Corbetts abortion-related
gaffes]; I will continue to maintain that Cawley would have emerged victorious.
Regarding Pa-politics, a day before it was revealed that the GOP IS EYEING WINDOW FOR ACTION
BEFORE WOLF TAKES OVER, I sent a prescient e-mail to a well-known Harrisburg politician with the
subject-heading can the legislature pass lotsa stuff during sine-die??? Apparently, the battle-lines have
been drawn in the Senate, with Wagner pushing return of Paycheck Protection ['This is about the PSEA']
and Pileggi allegedly planning a comeback as Senate President pro tempore. Meanwhile, AG-Kane is
expected to appear before state grand jury after she Confirmed there is a secret investigation into her
office and, thus, Hired crisis manager who represented Bill Clinton and Penn State [Lanny Davis].
Although Fareed Zakaria faces a Plagiarism Firestorm, the Media is supporting him,
Despite Wave of New Charges. Here is Politicos sympathetic rendition: Imperially slim
and darkly handsome, possessed of an insinuating charm and a cultured manner of
speech that recalls the British Raj, he's a prized dinner guest in Upper East Side salons,
and an occasional adviser on world affairs to President Obama. But due largely to the
relentless, three-month inquisition of two anonymous bloggers, who have dissected
Zakaria's oeuvre and accused him of multiple instances of plagiarism, various marquee
media outlets where Zakaria has written have slapped dire warnings on his archived
pieces. Zakaria feels much-aggrieved by the recent pile-on, privately arguing that he's
the victim of vicious pedantry, and that his lapses are trivial and, at worst, journalistic
misdemeanors of the sort that generally pass without notice at the country's most
respected publications. {Also, note that GLENN BECK revealed he HAD a SEVERE BRAIN
CONDITION DURING FOX NEWS YEARS.}
Ted Cruz remains a rock-star [Ted Cruz Coloring Book Flying Off the Shelves and Cruz to DC: 'Don't Mess
With the Internet'], but Politico suggested his greatest weakness could be the fact that his work-history
resembles that of Obama; in my view, he has some splainin to do, however, inasmuch as cruz-alsosupports-temporary-legalization-status-in-the-immigration-bill [via an amendment]. {Again illustrating
why I dont think Hillary will run is release of risqu [secret] e-mails of men who may run her Campaign.}
Its difficult to take Jon Stewart seriously [regarding his new flick, Rosewater] when he
Tweets: Coal Miners Are Self-Destructive Morons and it seems Aasif Mandvi Became Jon
Stewarts Favorite Jihadi; on the other hand, Jon Stewart correctly noted that Dems Are
Frightened and Have 'Disdain' For Obama.
I met Sharyn Attkisson last Thursday-p.m. [during the first snow @ the Newtown Theater]; a SRO-crowd
[$30/head x ~330 seats] listened to her explore why Faith In Government Has Declined Due To Obama
Administration Lies; she discussed how he had created a 'Climate Of Distrust' and showed Why we need
more journalists like Sharyl Attkisson. This is a systemic problem, illustrated by the fact that FBNs
Melissa Francis said, I Was Silenced When at CNBC for Criticizing ObamaCare; she was sent info
regarding the Kurdistan situation, as detailed in prior Blast e-mails. {She recommended a few websites
and said shell blog on this, shortly; she monitors inter alia Project-Censored and ProPublica.}

Politico preceded an article [Islamic State group says it'll mint its own coins] with HEY,
MARTHA!; this was a reference to how Mr. Wilson would inform his wife, Martha, of
what Dennis the Menace was doing [from the TV show of a half-century ago].
Regarding the article, it seems the Islamic State will mint gold, silver and copper coins
for its own currency [the Islamic dinar] to 'change the tyrannical monetary system'
modeled on Western economies that 'enslaved Muslims.' One of the gold coins has the
map of the world, a reference to Islam someday ruling the entire world.
Alan M. Dershowitz continued to promote his self-serving, albeit non-committal advocacy for Israel [Will
the newly elected Congress push Obama into being tougher on Iran's nuclear weapons program?]
without drawing even the most intuitive conclusions; in contrast, Arnaud de Borchgrave [whose columns
I read while in NY @ MSKCC during my fellowship in 77-79 in the Village Voice] shed his liberalism while
proclaiming Obama has a No-Win Foreign Policy Strategy. This is why I still view the former as
dangerous; recall how his Debate Dershowitz Radio show (Indie 102 on Sirius-XM, aired on six
successive Sundays) provided him a soap-box, although I did (after two calls) got him to admit that he
will continue to support BHO until Iran gets the bomb.

As the latest deadline for a nuke-deal with Iran again nears, a brief analysis [ON THE IDEOLOGUE AND
THE IGNORANT!] of the recent exchange of letters between Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran and Obama
concluded that Iran is not a constrictive partner in the Middle East. It concluded: Exchanging letters
between world leaders is indeed pragmatic politics and a fact of life but so is the Ayatollah's hostility
towards America. The choice of pragmatic ignorance - or worse an ideological one, is both dangerous
and wrong. A much more real pragmatism is very much due.
This was what BB said yesterday on CBS's "Face the Nation":
"Iran is not your ally. Iran is not your friend. Iran is your enemy. It's not your partner.
Iran is committed to the destruction of Israel, just as the P5+1, the United States and the
world powers are negotiating with Iran a nuclear agreement, the Ayatollah Khamenei,
the ruler of Iran, calls for the annihilation of Israel. He just did that four days ago. He
specified nine ways and reasons by which Israel should be destroyed. He's participated
in rallies and chants of 'Death to America', 'Death to Israel'. This is not a friend, neither
in the battle against ISIS nor in the effort, the great effort that should be made to
deprive him [of] the capacity to make nuclear weapons. Don't fall for Iran's ruse. They
are not your friend.
"Basically the Middle East is awash with militant Islamists, the militant Islamists led by
al-Qaeda and ISIS on the Sunni side, the militant Islamists led by Iran and Hezbollah on
the Shiite side. We want both of them to lose.
The last thing we want is to have any one of them get weapons of mass destruction.
Look at what ISIS is doing now with assault rifles and pick-up trucks. Just imagine what
Iran would do if it had nuclear weapons. So both our enemies are fighting one another
and when they are, weaken both don't strengthen either one."

Meanwhile, Putin is projecting a global reach [from the Gulf of Mexico to the Australian coast]; BHO has
done nothing while Russia and Ukraine Prepare for War in East Ukraine; after Ukraine Rebels Hindered
Border Monitors as New Armed Columns Appeared, the Ukraine stated that the Security was
Deteriorating in Rebel-Held East. {Also note that Northern European Nations are to Boost Military
Cooperation Against Russia.}

This is how the N.Y. Times [top of col. 5, "Nuclear Deal With Iran Runs Into Obstacles:
Formidable Opposition Puts Obama to Test"] portrayed the current situation: "Obama's
top national security advisers put the chance of reaching an agreement this month at 40
to 50 percent. 'In the end this is a political decision for the Iranians,' Mr. Obama told a
small group of recent visitors to the White House, a statement that could be true for
him as well. Yet even if a deal is struck it will be the beginning of an argument ... For
many of the president's adversaries, the details of whatever deal he emerges with - how
much warning the West would have if Iran raced for a bomb, for example - are almost
beside the point."
