Mayor Glenn Jacobs aka Kane #wingnut

More and more businesses are owned by a small groups of individuals and corporations. Less competition, the more companies can charge. Only the biggest carrots for those on top, whips and big sticks for the rest.

John T. Molloy was a popular writer at one time. You could probably pick up his some books in a used book store or website. Molloy also wrote an advice column at one time.

His advice was dressing for success or what some people called “power dressing.” To succeed in business, it helps to dress like you belong to the upper middle class. You also had to dress for your company’s culture.

Polyester clothes were considered low class; natural fabrics are upper class. Women were not to wear cardigans to the office, they were to wear jackets. Pastels and bright colors were taboo. Brown was a bad neutral. Women were not supposed to wear pants to the office.

Molloy, in one of columns, wrote teachers would get more respect if they dressed for success. I guess this was to help to raise their incomes.

Do not use a plastic pen, like the popular clear pens to write with. Gold pens are the best.

Live for success book had lifestyle tips. You had to drive the right type of car. My cousin, who worked for a conservative company back in the 1980s, had to trade in her economy car for a more impressive car. She sometimes had to pick clients from the airport.

One lifestyle tip was to shop in the stores your office superiors shopped. Use the same products as they did.

The Irish were considered savages at one time. Irish were labeled drunks and brawlers. Sometimes African- Americans were called “smoked Irish.”

My dad died in 2010. He had an operation for an aneurysm which had grown too large. He started bleeding internally after the operation and he died. My three brothers, my dad’s younger sister, her daughter and the minister were there when he died. The following Sunday, the minister placed a rose on my dad’s usual spot on the pew.

My late dad would have brained Vox Day. He was part of the troops who liberated Dachau concentration camp. They did use poison gas for executions. People also died from other ways at the camp.

John T. Molloy wrote the rules for dress for success. Cardigans for women were a staple at one time for women before Molloy, but jackets were considered more professional. Women’s suits had skirts, not slacks. Suits had to be gray or navy. I had a navy suit with thin stripes, but I rarely wore it. I worked in a technical services department for a library. (Molloy would have not approved of suit, because it was polyester, not wool or some other natural fabric.)

Molloy thought “pretty” things gave off the wrong impression for women in business. Actually, there are some women who look better in tailored clothes than traditional feminine style. I took classes with professional image consultant. The consultant told us that she never felt stylish as a young woman. She had admired the local women in what could be called the Southern Belle in pastels with big hair hair. The style didn’t look on her. She later wore outfits with straighter lines. She cut her hair shorter. She wore different colors. She looked great.

Also, what Torchy, or should I say Touchy, calls frumpwear is a considered masculine wear. I like “frumpwear” for physical work. My late aunt always wore plaid flannel shirts and blue jeans at home. She was buried in a shirt and blue jeans.

Sorry about my rambling. I’m 66 and have seen many fashion changes.

Kersey would hate the 1958 movie, The Vikings. The Viking leader was played Ernest Borgnine, son of Italian immigrants. His son was played by Kirk Douglas, son of Jewish immigrants from what is now Belarus. The half Viking slave is played by Tony Curtis, son of Jewish immigrants from Hungry.

I remember that case. I saw the video of the incident.

I’ve heard of deaf people being shot because they didn’t hear the police commands.

I don’t know what your face looks like, but your attitude is ugly.

All of The Three Stooges got married. Moe, Shemp and Larry married in the 1920s before they came to Hollywood. Curly married four times. You couldn’t call these four men handsome.

Yes, he did. He was bi-polar. He went though another bad period when my mother developed a brain tumor. It was difficult to see her deteriorate physically and mentally. Dad would only sleep two or three hours a night and he worked manically during the day. He tried to take care of Mom, but he put her in a nursing home, a good one. He did recover.

He later participated in church activities and he bowled. He went on a tour of Germany, something he wanted to do for years.

Thanks for asking.

Running away doesn’t always help. People have been shot in the back while running away. (“Shot while trying to escape.”) Is it self-defense to shoot a person running away.

White people also hate having guns pointed at them. My father had a nervous breakdown, he was talking to the people on television. I remember him talking to Shaun Cassidy. He was also saying strange things, like “the big bad wolf is here.”

Our elderly neighbor was frightened, so she called one of her sons. Dad went outside, then ran in screaming. The neighbor’s son stood on the back porch of his mother’s house and pointed a rifle at him. Another neighbor, who was a psychologist, came over to calm him, convincing him to go to the hospital.

If the neighbors were scared, they should have called emergency. Although this could have the police shooting my father. Oh, my family is white and the neighbors were white.

Some of my great-grandparents were born in Europe. That means most of African-Americans have longer roots in Americans than I have.

Who pays for the Capitol Riot 1/6/2021 damages? It appeared to me that was mainly a white crowd.

Some wealthy consider those trickles as leaks. Those leaks are costing them. A cousin of mine is a plumber who has provided services to households of varying levels of income. He has had customers who were angry about the bill. These customers tended to be people who could well afford the bill.

On the other hand, lower income people tended to be grateful, even though the bill took a big chunk of their income.

There are a lot of fascinating women in history. Harriet Tubman helped slaves escape. The Night Witches, Russian pilots, fought against the Nazis. Hedy Lamar developed technology we use today. There was Clara Barton who nursed soldiers during the Civil War and founded the American Red Cross. Nellie Bly did investigative reporting. Florence Nightingale improved nursing of soldiers. Libertarians revere Ayn Rand.

Public outrage would be greater today. The judge would be removed from office and the goons would be severely punished. I can see mass demonstrations if this happened today. We must not backslide to the old days.

I remember a story about the murder of two gay men back in 1970s or 1980s (my memory is fuzzy) in Texas (not sure, but definitely in the USA). The two men were kidnapped by a group of men and taken to another location. The group ordered the two men to strip naked. The two refused to remove their clothes, so the kidnappers shot them.

The judge presiding over the case said the murders were no big deal. It was much like murder of prostitutes, also no big deal.

Does anyone remember more details about this story?

The elites have used divide and conquer tactics against white, black, and Latino groups. They don’t want working class groups to join together to fight them. Anti-black racism has been used to keep lower class whites in their places in society.

Blacks were supposed to “stay in their places.” They were not supposed to get ahead of white people. If they were walking on a sidewalk and a white person was approaching them on the same sidewalk, they had to get off the sidewalk.

Also everyone has heard of “back of the bus for black people.” Black people had to give up their seats for white people. If white person needed a seat, picture four black adults made to leave their seats. A white person could not have black people sitting across the aisle from them.

In Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine, a book about a history of an African American family and their family recipes, there is an account of family member who was a doctor for the black people in a small town. There was a white doctor for the white people in the same town. A white man hurt his arm and went the white doctor. He still had problems with arm, so he went to the black doctor, who did heal him. This outraged the white community, so the black doctor had to leave town, because he embarrassed the white doctor.

I remember reading an magazine article about a hand model. A hand model has to have very attractive well-groomed hands for closeup photos of hands. One assignment she did was posing with two other models. The photo was of a couple dressed in evening clothes with the woman stroking the man’s face. The woman had an attractive face and figure, but her hands did not fit the same standard as the rest of her. The hand model had couch down next to the main model and lift her arms to touch man’s face. The photo was shot without showing the hand model.

It took two women to create a glamorous woman.

It was true that slaves were expensive, but people do destroy expensive items everyday. People have smashed up expensive cars just for thrills. Angry golfers sometimes destroy golf clubs. Parents have destroyed their children’s computers to punish them.

I can see an irate master whipping a slave nearly to death.
