The Weekly Bug: the Good (Heartwarming son), the Bad (Ginsburg) & the Ugly (Ferguson)

Don't know if this will fly; but I'm going to raise a weekly item of heretofore. Specifically my theme "The Weekly Bug". Where I post a thread, on a (hopefully) weekly basis, discussing the Good, the Bad and the Ugly things bugging us/me.

This week, I'm doing 2 posts. The 1st one is upon special issues germane, simply because - in my time of angst, anger and even some despair; friends and family still give me much to be thankful for.

THE WEEKLY BUG

Because I desire to land on a positive (sometimes) - the order of issues will juxtapose - once in a while.

THE BAD

SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just went through open heart surgery.

Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg is in the hospital, having a serious heart issue addressed. Our hearts and prayers go out to this great public servant and (often) outspoken, serious, intellectual, legal mind - for what is proper and just.

The UGLY

Ferguson - National Bar Association Calls For Federal Investigations

We are all, terribly vexed, by the "powers that be" circle of the wagons doing what we all suspected they would do. Another non Caucasian has bit the dust by a bullet and - not only did the killer get off 'Scot Free' (thus far) - but he also had to prance around as a loon goon on worldwide TV and gloat.

But there's HOPE!


Soon to depart USAG Eric Holder has publicly announced that the Department of Justice will continue its investigations; and is now being prompted by the National Bar Association to dig deeper. Nathaniel Downs of Addicting Info, has a piece about a Smoking Gun pointing directly at Ferguson's prosecutor having ties to the entity that was selling "Support Officer Wilson" T-Shirts.

The GOOD!

My son warms my heart and waters my eyes.

Every once in a while, you are given a blessing unexpected. This past week was rough for me. 3 Circuit Court Judges snatched my "HAAS v ROMNEY" case away and stuck a knife in the slim chance my piggyback letter to the Goldman Sachs tapes Senate hearing - would be doomed.

Resultant of the 3 judge circus stating that my evidences and claims are "insubstantial", I'm now forced to go where certain doom awaits. Specifically, a "pro se" petition to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Due to issues of mayhem and worse, I've not seen, nor held my multiple grandchildren; and I've not been able to be around family since my daughter was abducted on my birthday in 2004. Romney and his RICO gang stole my life savings, destroyed my career and make it too big a risk to be with the ones I love.

My son (Mark), has had some moments memorable and others we all wish to not think about anymore. He is a true man of great character and makes me proud. His girlfriend {sic} set him up to get pregnant by him; because her "real" bo - couldn't produce off spring. She dang near drove him to the worse, as the days after she had their child - she told him to "f--- off".

Though he and my other children all were angry at our way of life (a liquidator is a nomad road warrior) and spouted (what my wife of 20 years kept telling them); he (and they) all wish they could go back to those yesteryears (realizing that - in essence - they were spoiled little rich kids.

My son doesn't turn to drink and drugs when his son is made a pawn in a Peyton Place plot inane. Instead, he moves in to help his mom out and they take in his sister's daughter. Where she too - is going through hard times (just had a miscarriage of twins).

If I don't call my son - he calls me. This week we had a text exchange yesterday, where he learned that the Senate hearings are over and my litigation against Romney is in peril. When I tell him the news and state that he should have no fret, because I am going to continue the fight to get back his inheritance and monies so he can do a good legal fight for joint custody of my grandson; my son replies with this eye watering remark;

My inheritance is no where near as important - as you shutting Romney down.
