Once upon a time, actually
in the time of William Shakespeare, his words, "Beware the ides of
March," served as a warning, a dramatic foreshadowing, for Julius Caesar
who was killed off on that date according to Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar.
Since the event happened
in 44 BC, and Shakespeare wrote the play in 1599, we Americans, not into Old
English and Shakespeare anymore, changed the meaning to be a forewarning of
potential severe weather, as in beware the ides of March, in like a lion, and
out like a lamb.
Well the bad weather
seems to have come in February this year, perhaps we need to change the meaning
of Shakespeare's warning once again. I
do not know about you, but just two days into March and the world seems to be
engulfed in a dangerous malaise of bizarre news, events, and chaos.
For example, the Iraq army is attacking ISIS, the same Iraq
The charismatic leader of
the Russian opposition to President Putin, Boris Nemtsov, was murdered just outside the walls of the Kremlin
in Moscow
The Dow Jones, S&P
500, and NASDAQ stock markets all set record highs this week and it is only
Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington
Obama and his senior
advisors refuse to meet with Netanyahu even though they are in the final stages
of a deal with Iran , who is
committed to the annihilation of Israel
Terrorism continues to
dominate headlines so congress and the president fail to agree on how to fund our
only defense against the terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaking of terrorists,
the latest act of brutality by ISIS was the
release of 19 Christian prisoners, which no one can figure out.
Putin continues to grab
land from the Ukraine while
the USA plays footsy with a
bunch of bad guys around the Middle East .
In yet another act of
terrorism, ISIS might have declared war on Twitter who is trying to stop the
90,000 Tweets a day from ISIS alone.
As America
Speaking of Obama, his
buddy, the Reverend Al Sharpton, still has unlimited access to the White House
even as he has failed to pay millions of dollars in taxes he owes the USA
Then there is MSNBC, who
finally realized their claims that Morning Joe was the top rated news show on
cable are not only misleading, they are false.
MSNBC also has the
Reverend Al Sharpton show, which has consistently lost ratings, and might just
be the lowest rated news show on cable.
In the background, someone is investigating the Reverend to see if major
corporate sponsors of his foundation are protected from racial protests because
of their payments.
In sports NASCAR made a
rules change that has enraged all the top drivers by disqualifying their
cars. This comes after completion of
their first season under major new rules changes concerning the NASCAR driving
championship. Every major driver and the
most winners on the NASCAR Sprint circuit failed to make the finals.
Disgraced NBC News anchor
Brian Williams, thrown off the air because he thought he was a famous
entertainer as well as news anchor, has opened the door to charges other news people
on television have enhanced, stretched, or just plain lied about their
experiences. Really, we do not have a
biased media do we?
To top off the 2nd day of
March, the artist who painted an official portrait of President Clinton fessed
up today and said he put the shadow of Monica Lewinsky in the portrait to show
his disgust for Clinton
More bizarre Clinton
The truth is, even though
the Ides of March officially take place March 15, we have a great jump on it
with the bizarre incidents listed.
Normalcy is non-existent.
Mediocrity is a distant
dream.
News reporters are not
supposed to be the news.
Our president claims to
represent the two thirds of the public who refuse to vote.
No one cares.
