A "Flamboyant " World Leader ?

You know the old saying,"...they just fade away".Lately, the 2016 US presidential campaign politics continues to spotlight bold and colorful personalities that wish to remain center stage in the 'Big tent'. The ring master brings out one death defying act after another until the lights go dim. Have the lights ever gone dim for other non-USA world leaders ? Well, I used my old red gloves to dust off an old article that you can read with my magnifying glass to peer back into history at a "flamboyant" "erratic leader" who frequently embarrased his people. Check out the article at the following site http://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/15/world/20-years-later-khrushchev-is-dim-memory-for-russians.html You can read more about this historical world leader at this site, https://books.google.com/books?id=7moY9FF4raQC&pg=PA106&lpg=PA106&dq=Did+Nikita+Khrushchev+and+Leonid+Brezhnev+embarrass+the+Russian+people+?&source=bl&ots=1UVXzMdk1H&sig=A4qP25-QivBbG0VItO8m8Q2ktAE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiQiorunezLAhUBKB4KHbsLASQQ6AEISjAJ#v=onepage&q=Did%20Nikita%20Khrushchev%20and%20Leonid%20Brezhnev%20embarrass%20the%20Russian%20people%20%3F&f=false

Is US and World History Often Romanticized ?

The older I get as a fictional hoboclown detective,the more I learn and discover.My investigative searches for clues and facts often turn up 'ugly and uncomfortable historical and warped actions of mankind against mankind and other planetary creatures'. So far, I have not heard of one civilization that did not have some religious,political,socio-economic,scientific or pseudo-scientific skeletons in their 'civilized closet'. In trying to understand some of the underpinnings or causations of tensions among US ethnic groups and individuals, I bumped into two documented accounts of a life experience of a human being by the name of " Ota Benga". Mr. Ota Benga had been captured and terrorized abroad and brought to the US and introduced to a series of more inhumane abuses. The question raised is whether any human individual or group should be traditionally, culturally,legally, morally or ethically mistreated by other 'civilized human beings' ? Also, should such human degradations be excused and romanticized ? You are invited to answer the questions for yourself after reading the following accounts at the two websites: http://www.phillytrib.com/commentary/ota-benga-an-african-caged-in-a-u-s-zoo/article_ad3fd3d9-e86b-5c36-b04e-fd451f179245.html AND https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ota_Benga

Fire The Whole US Congress ?

Sometimes you get no traction and no action in the political arena.So, where do you go and what do you do?I decided to investigate and find out what some people think outta be done with elected officials.Somehow, the investigation surprisingly uncovered a notion that US Presidents are not the 'main culprits' for what ails the voting american people.No, the notion did not portray the Congress as a bunch of clowns.Thankfully, other descriptive words were used.Also, some select non-violent activism was suggested to " empower" the public's votes. If you're interested in this little investigative tidbit,read about it at http://www.kickthemallout.com/ As for me,I'm going' after that Pennsylvania groundhog that didn't see snow in this coming weekend's weather forecast!

A 2016 USA Political Family Reunion ?

Chasing rainbows isn't this ol' Hoboclown Detective's thing. So, I went looking for Ol' Don Quixote since what we have in common is "Impossible" dreams.I never could "beat the unbeatable foe" but I did give him a run for his money ! Sadly to say, I couldn't find ol' Don. They tell me he's " chasin' windmills" .He's my kinda guy ! I wore down the already proverbial beaten path lookin' for Don and came upon the O'Jays magical lyrics of "Family Reunion". It's my Hope that some day we can all see a ' 2016 USA Political Family Reunion' with the same comforting and spirited lyrics at the following site, http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ojays/familyreunion.html As they used to say back in the day,"Dig It !"

'Deep Throat' Rides Again ?

In the not too distant past, a political mess was discovered in the USA and "Deep Throat" materialized to help sort things out. Flash forward to today's date and a similar scenario plays out. Back in the day,a long-time generic college friend (of sorts) by the name of 'Cliff' would help save the day. Again, 'Cliff' delivers the detailed 'goods' in the shadows of the school of hard knocks. Yes, the shadowy meeting is covert and the details are cryptic but if ol' Flash can break the political code and figure it out-so can you ! Read the secret document at the following site - http://www.cliffsnotes.com/cliffsnotes/subjects/literature/why-did-dr-frankenstein-create-his-monster Can 'Cliff' save the day ?

The Urban Jungle Search for The Bigot

Lately, viral videos have been pleasing ol' Flash Mc Cool with visual delights of predatory animals that befriend their traditional prey animals: Like the videos of lions befriending a sheep. Today, we also see videos of one animal species adopting and nursing animals of different species. Somehow the golden rule of Life shows us viral videos of previously unimaginable sights! There was one video of a baby possum hitching a ride on a dog's back! In search of sensible or useful answers to Life's mysteries, I have poked around many urban woods for clues. Not having a great understanding of what a "Bigot " was, I decided to get a descriptive definition of one in order to find one. I turned up one definition of a "Bigot" at the following site, https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/bigotry "If a person is intolerant of other ideas, races, or religions, we call that person a bigot. The intolerance expressed by that bigot is called bigotry." Now, my big task is to find and video a "Bigot" befriending and actually tolerating other ideas, races and religions. That may be a tall order and a rare occurrence but I betcha it'll go viral !
