My Dream (?!?) of My Portfolio to Brian Sack (with Many Parentheses)

First, I don't like to be on camera, and second, WHY and HOW would I have such a stupid video camera?  Also:  I'm good at rewriting things, not writing things on demand, and I really don't want to go to New York.

I never remember dreams, so that makes it bad.  I remember this as a recurring dream, which means either  I had deja vu in a dream; or it really did happen before, and I keep cramming it really deep down in my hole of memories.

I was at a Little League baseball game, when a fight broke out.  My camera man (at a kid's game?) (my own camera man?) captured me doing hilarious things (which I can never remember, which is why I'm in Ohio) involving a banjo & Bigfoot (a true life non-event which did NOT include me; don't ask).  I rushed with the film (FILM?!?) to New York to get it developed, to show to Brian Sack.

Now the weird part.

The film itself was about two feet wide, and as thick as a cheap flower print vinyl tablecloth from the Dollar Store.  Brian himself show me how to develop it.  Who would have known he had such skills at working with something that would put Imax equipment to shame?

1.  Cut film into 3 foot sections.
2.  Fold the corners back two inches.
3.  Shove each corner into the tool which melts the folded-over section together, and punches a hole in it.  Brian explains: "The film is SO FREAKING HEAVY, it has to be reinforced so the machine doesn't tear it when it goes through."
4.  Lay film on conveyer belt, put the punches holes over the pegs on the conveyer belt when they come up, and make sure it's flat.
5. Run to the other side of the machine, grabbing the heat-proof gloves as you go.  The film is really hot and floppy at this point.  No one thought of putting something on the other side of the machine to catch the film, so one must grab it, or it will fall to the floor and stick to itself in a big Saran-wrap-like mess.  Did I mention it's really hot?  And two feet wide?  And a sheet of heavy rubber with what looks like three magnetic strips on it? (unless that's a mistake, and I went to New York only to have bad film)

I asked Brian WHY he used such a ridiculous and impossible media, but he shrugged his shoulders, and sheepishly said "That's what we have."  I don't know if that was his way of trying to not work with outside people, or his way of saying "Glenn thought it would be a good character builder to make me the ONLY COMEDIAN IN THE WORLD to use this archane format."
(And what would the camera look like, that I would have someone follow me around using it?!?)

And there's Jack Helmuth off to the side, laughing his ass off.

*TLan80* Merry Christmas!: 
Here is the Sam J Tilden Friday fact that DM gave me...

“Tilden Town”

Yes, Virginia, there is a Tilden... The town of Tilden formed in 1882, not long after SJT's unsuccessful presidential run. As we have seen in previous facts, SJT did not become very fat and pontificate randomly about pseudo science (like some other popular vote winners-but-still-losers of the office). Instead, he quietly retired from politics while maintaining enough dignity and supporters to be forever memorialized 1100 miles away from his lifelong home of New York City, in Tilden, Wisconsin









And since we're so short:

My wife & I are trying to make at least one new home-made Christmas tree ornament each year, so we will have nothing but those, and old family keepsakes.  Here are a few of which I have pictures at hand:

Knitted Rooster


Two elves, carved from basswood eggs, and painted with milk paint

A pysanky Egg of our dog, Ike

Pysanky Chrysanthemum

Knitted orange in netting

South Park nativity, also carved from wooden eggs.



Will take more photos, when I have more light!

WHAT NATASHA SAYS
Question #11:
Why did you want to get into radio? Is this what you want for a career or will you pursue another “dream job” if the opportunity presents itself?
Natasha's Answer:
I’ve wanted to go into radio for a long time. As I’m writing this, I can’t believe that I’m answering your questions about my job in radio. Ha. It’s surreal and I’m pinching myself. Ouch. I grew up listening to talk and music radio. My dad always had it on and that’s how he would teach me. I learned about the news, I learned history, I learned to love classic rock and the oldies. My dad always had an anecdote to go along with whatever was on the radio. Radio played such a huge part in my upbringing that it just seemed like a natural career direction for me. And plus, it’s really really fun.

Bonus Question:
Natasha, as one of the 9 4th Hour Supreme Court Justices you picked, I was wondering what caught your eye on each of our 9 applications. Or has it been too long to remember? -Mac in WV
Natasha's Answer:
Ha, it’s been a long time, but all of the Supreme Court justice applications were so creative and thoughtful. It really was tough to pick just 9! I think I looked for ones that really knew the show well. Don’t feel too lucky yet though, we need to pass this dang constitution if we ever want to call upon your judicial talents!

From DM in DM: Ok, it's OFFICIAL!!! I will open the Feeders Feed at 9am Eastern Tomorrow!!!
If we have less than 25 people I will open you up for unmoderated conversations too (as long as you follow the regular rules)

Natasha's Answer:
Well, I was born in Philadelphia so I’m obligated to be a Philly fan. I enjoy watching football. Yes, I know the Eagles are terrible this season. Being a Philly fan though, you get used to losing. And Cole Hamels of the Philles is really hot so I’ll watch them sometimes. I would never say I’m a die-hard sports fan though. I really like watching gymnastics, too. Does that count?

If called to service, will you accept our nomination of you to be queen of the 4th Hour to end the tyranny of Pat and Stu?
Natasha's Answer:
I would be honored! Does a tiara come with the title? I’m all about the tiara.




Donna: 
I’m glad you all like the unofficial feed. You all have made it a great success. I’m a big one on integrity. I do not like ‘gray’ areas (not necessarily a reference to Pat-the-Tyrant). Based on that, today’s events require me to hand the keys for Feeders’ Feed off to DM and TLan (my heroes). Some of you know I ran a Mercury One feed last week. Today, I was welcomed into the organization’s volunteer staff, creating the ‘gray’ area between official and unofficial. I do not want to find myself in a position of being dishonest in the future because I know information that I cannot yet release (and not answering a question can still be a response).

I will be popping in from time to time, cuz I luv y’all and would be heart-broken not talking with you all. My Mercury One doooooooooooooodies are not yet specifically defined, but I’m hoping one of them would be to run their feeds (if they have them). The Primer parties (aka Tupperware parties) are currently suspended – but I’m hoping for a re-launch of them soon (with one or two little tweaks to improve them).

So – thank-you, each of you, for making this happen. I only had curiosity that led to the software being used – YOU made the Feeders’ Feed. And you did a great job!



Thank you for Everything, Donna, and Good Luck!  Perhaps you'll get to work with Brian Sack!

Question # 8
When/how did you discover Glenn Beck, and what do your friends think of Glenn and your working for him?
Natasha's Answer:
I used to listen to Glenn with my Dad in the car. At first I would listen because I had to (can’t jump out of a moving car!) but then after awhile I started to really like him. It’s bizarre to think I went from listening to him in my dad’s beat up jeep to working for him! Most of my friends think it’s really cool. But some friends don’t even know who GB is. Basically, my generation sucks.

From DM in DM, This Week's Samuel J Tilden Friday Fact!


SJT & Slavery

Many people label SJT as an anti-slavery Democrat simply because he ran for Attorney General of New york under the “soft shell” (anti-slavery) faction of the Democrat party. In reality, his position is a bit more complex. Prior to the war, Tilden may have been against slavery but he was more concerned about protecting the Union than freeing slaves- to the point of advocating complete “non-action” on slavery in the South.
The following excerpt is fromhttp://www.wallbuilders.com/libissuesarticles.asp?id=92#FN16 :

It was not just southern Democrats who viewed the election of Lincoln and the Republicans as the death knell for slavery; many northern Democrats held the same view....Other northern Democrats also assailed the anti-slavery positions of the Republicans – including Samuel Tilden (a New York state assemblyman and later the chair of the state Democrat Party, state governor, and then presidential candidate). Tilden affirmed that southern secession be could halted only if Republicans publicly abandoned their anti-slavery positions:
[T]he southern states will not by any possibility accept the avowed creed of the Republican Party as the permanent policy of the federative government as to slavery. . . . Nothing short of the recession [drawing back] of the Republican Party to the point of total and absolute non-action on the subject of slavery in the states and territories could enable it to reconcile to itself the people of the South.
While any argument in favor of continuing slavery is obviously inexcusable, it is important to note that, though his writings and political actions, it appears Tilden's primary concern over the broken Union was protecting the nation from creating a powerful centralized government in the aftermath of the War

Another view of Mercury One Charity, beyond the stated goals:



We started out about three years ago, learning about the Apollo Alliance, the Van Jones / George Soros organization which brought us the Stimulus bill.  We learned too late, to educate people.

I moved back, to re-learn lessons from "Atlas Shrugged."  However, we are not all financially independent like Hank Rearden; there is no reflection device to hide our property from government & its taxes.  My original thought was, we must hide in plain sight, but that would be accepting defeat.

We now move to the original program: Mercury, the program of One.
We are NOT Society: a swarming mass ruled by the swaying dictates of the times.
We are individuals, combined together; out of many, one: E Pluribus Unum.  Ruled by law.

Socialists want and Progressives want Big Government, a complete negation of the Foundation of the United (but Individual) States.
Big Government is a self-fufilling monster, creating regulations to make society dependant upon it, a source of forced "charity," which itself creates the NEED for that "charity."

Mercury One negates that: We, once again, become the leaders.  WE become the source of, not charity, but help and learning.  We take back the role which Big Government has assigned to itself.  We defeat Big Government by eliminating the need for it.  Individuals banding together to help each other.

We move forward, to the beginning.

Question #5
What would be the three most important things parents of college-age kids do to inoculate them against progressivism on campus?
Natasha's Answer:
1) Tell them to believe half of what they see and none of what they hear. Never take a professors word as truth. Always question everything.

2) Get off campus. Do not rely on school to shape your views. Always be involved in other activities that aren’t related to school. As Mark Twain supposedly said, “Don’t let your schooling get in the way of your education!”

3) Make them read “In the Garden of Beasts.”

Kyle Bass, who runs a hedge fund called Hyman Capital Management in Texas, is gaining notoriety as an investor with the foresight to anticipate today's growing sovereign debt crisis.  If eurozone governments ultimately write down their debt because the weight of supporting banks becomes too great, Kyle Bass will go down as one of the earliest to recognize and position for that.  His worldwide view dire, and it's apparent;y prompted him to take some strange precautions such as acquiring $1 million in nickels (20 million coins) because their 6.8 cents value as scrap metal exceeds their monetary worth.
