Is this Worth Anything?

Barry Bonds, MacFarlane action figure... is this something that will be worth something someday?

I picked this up and threw it in the closet about two years ago... it was on the reduced merch table at a Krogers. I paid $1.88.

Part 5: Vacationing like the Kennedy's -- Staycation

It is highly possible that the Fitzgerald/Kennedy family union should have stayed home, like a Staycation. I think the public appearances did no more than give loathsome murderers target practice.

Marriage and children -- Look at this line up of misery -- 9 children... three living, two died of "natural conditions." Four died of unnatural and suspicious circumstances.

On October 7, 1914 Rose married Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. after a courtship of more than seven years. They first lived in a home in Brookline that is now the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site. Rose and Joseph had the following nine children:

Name	Birth	Death	Achievements	Marriage	Cause of death
Joseph Patrick Kennedy, Jr.	July 25, 1915	August 12, 1944	United States Navy aviator		Naval airplane crash on August 12, 1944 over the English Channel
John Fitzgerald Kennedy	May 29, 1917	November 22, 1963	United States Representative (1947-1953) United States Senator (1953-1960) President of the United States (1961-1963)	September 12, 1953 to Jacqueline Lee Bouvier.	Assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas
Rosemary Kennedy	September 3, 1918	January 7, 2005	Underwent a lobotomy in 1941 which left her incapacitated; she was institutionalized from 1949 until her death.		Natural causes
Kathleen Agnes Kennedy	February 20, 1920	May 13, 1948	Marchioness of Hartington	Married on May 6, 1944 to William Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington.	Airplane crash over Sainte-Bauzille, Ardèche, France.
Eunice Mary Kennedy	July 10, 1921		Founder of Special Olympics	Married on May 23, 1953 to Robert Sargent Shriver.
Patricia Kennedy	May 6, 1924	September 17, 2006		Married on April 24, 1954 to British actor Peter Lawford; divorced in 1966.	Complications from pneumonia
Robert Francis Kennedy	November 20, 1925	June 6, 1968	United States Attorney General (1961-1964), United States Senator (1965-1968)	Married on June 17, 1950 to Ethel Skakel	Assassinated on June 5, 1968 in Los Angeles, California.
Jean Ann Kennedy	February 20, 1928		United States Ambassador to Ireland (1993-1998)	Married on May 19, 1956 to Stephen Edward Smith.
Edward Moore Kennedy	February 22, 1932		United States Senator (1962-present)	Married on November 29, 1958 to Joan Bennett; divorced on December 6, 1982. Remarried in 1992 to Victoria Reggie.

Rose was predeceased by her husband, Joseph, in 1969, and four of her nine children: Joseph Jr. in 1944, Kathleen in 1948, John F. in 1963 and Robert in 1968. Just eight months after John F. was assassinated, Rose's mother, Mary, died at the age of 98.

Rosemary Kennedy died on January 7, 2005 at the age of 86 and Patricia Kennedy Lawford died on September 17, 2006 at the age of 82, both from natural causes. As of April 2008, only three children are still living: 86-year old Eunice Kennedy Shriver, 80-year old Jean Kennedy Smith and 76-year-old Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy.

The word for May 23 is staycation

A vacation that is spent at one's home enjoying all that home and one's home environs have to offer.

Even though I live and work in New York, I don't always get to enjoy all it has to offer, what with my work commitments, but I sure did have an awesome time here during my spring staycation.

MooPig Affiliates Proudly bestows upon this Article, Music Industry, R. I. P. the Award more prized than Poolitzer’s…

Something Funny happened on the way to the Glacier this morning...

…Sorry for the delay, some things are just worth waiting for… Here finally is the …
Heath Ledger Sound-Glacier Prize 2007-08 from MooPig Wisdoom Awards

“If a glacier cracks and falls into the sea, while no one is around, does it make a sound?"

As shown in the award pictures, even bear-baiting is interrupted by the glacial “moosic,” causing great confusion…

Sponsored in part by quasi firms ARK, Abstract Random Kindness, and Matilda Love Child Foundations, and the Walter P. Henry and Sally Pebbles Net Islanders Phermona Nethermost Therapies. [[fine-print: no moonetary value attached]]

Mission: The H L Sound-Glacier Prize is founded to celebrate the bloggers’ worldwide intuition about certain institutions. And thereby take away attention of usually productive workers worldwide.

Here the blogger Pribek.net has duteously included the three “L’s” in one paragraph:

• Loyal
• License
• Lucrative

Radiohead will do fine with this free release. A lot of people will pay the 40 cents. Some will pay more. They will gain new fans and their existing fans will feel even more reason to be loyal. They will probably license some songs for car commercials, beer ads and movies (the real money) and all of this will make the live performance end (the other real money) more lucrative.

One has to be Socio-Path to run for office...

Introducing three Socio-paths:

blah blah blah

Profile of the Sociopath

This website summarizes some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths.

• Glibness and Superficial Charm
  
  
• Manipulative and Conning
  They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
  
  
• Grandiose Sense of Self
  Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
  
  
• Pathological Lying
  Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
  
  
• Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
  A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
  
  
• Shallow Emotions
  When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
  
  
• Incapacity for Love
  
  
• Need for Stimulation
  Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
  
  
• Callousness/Lack of Empathy
  Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
  
  
• Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
  Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
  
  
• Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
  Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
  
  
• Irresponsibility/Unreliability
  Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
  
  
• Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
  Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
  
  
• Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
  Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
  
  
• Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
  Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

Other Related Qualities:

1. Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
2. Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
3. Authoritarian
4. Secretive
5. Paranoid
6. Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
7. Conventional appearance
8. Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
9. Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life
10. Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
11. Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
12. Incapable of real human attachment to another
13. Unable to feel remorse or guilt
14. Extreme narcissism and grandiose
15. May state readily that their goal is to rule the world
