Ariel Sharon (1928-2014): My country, because of thee...
Sweet land of liberty? "For thee I mourn."
Ariel Sharon just died. He was America's friend. What does that say about us? The Butcher
of Sabra and Shatila just died, a friend of Washington DC for the last
20-odd years, feted by the White House, praised by Congress -- from every mountainside.
Sharon is the kind of man that catches the eye of American leaders. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/11/obama-mourns-sharon-death-vows-us-unshakable-commitment-to-israeli-security/
Men like Ariel Sharon are lifted up and feted and praised. Men like
Ariel Sharon, who can coldly give orders to kill hundreds of women and
children without a second glance or a second thought? These kind of
men? These are the kind of men we can teach our children to admire and
praise? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article37297.htm
I'm sorry that Ariel Sharon is dead. I'm sorry when any human being
dies. I'll even be sorry at my own death -- but it is for America that I
mourn for the most at the passing of Ariel Sharon. America, who used to
bravely condemn the actions of mass murderers? America who fought
against Stalin and Hitler? America now actually feeds these monsters
with cold hard cash -- and places cold, hard weapons in their hands.
"Land where our fathers died...." Let freedom ring.

Advertizements for myself: In these hard times of brutal (and illegal) corporatist ball-busting socialism-for-the-rich-only, I am doing whatever I can to make a spare dollar. Here are some of my current alternate-economy schemes that never seem to work -- but I keep hoping!
******
If anyone ever wants to hire me on as a travel writer (or war correspondent), "Have laptop, will travel!" And am leaving for Haiti on Valentines Day -- so stay tuned for that report too.
******
Need someone to help you throw out stuff? I'm really good at deciding what needs to be thrown out (starting with all those corporate-owned bums in Washington!)
****
Need an actor to play an older woman in your movie? Then I'm your man! I can portray all kinds of older women -- from judges, business execs and other insane zombies to bag ladies, cancer patients, kindly grandmothers and dying patients in rest homes. I've played them all. So send me a script and let's do this. Hollywood, here we come! Here's my reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C91uEYjLUXA
****
Are you a plaintiffs' attorney who is tired of writing those pesky personal injury settlement briefs all the time? No problem! I can write them for you. Years of experience. And pay me only if you win the case.
****
I recently got my Notary Public commission!
Need a Notary Public? Have seal, will travel. E-mail me at jpstillwater@yahoo.com and I'll stamp your document, make it official and only charge $10. Of course if you live outside of Berkeley, I may have to charge travel expenses -- but am well worth it!

Want something good to read?
Buy my
book! "Bring Your Own Flak Jacket:
Helpful Tips for Touring
Today's Middle East," available at
Amazon and Barnes & Noble. http://www.amazon.com/Bring-Your-Own-Flak-Jacket/dp/0978615719/ref=cm_pdp_rev_itm_title_1. It's like if Jack Kerouac, Mark Twain and/or Janet Evanovich went to war.
I also wrote a book about going on Hajj (also included as a chapter in "Bring Your Own Flak Jacket," but this book is cheaper -- but it's worth buying them both!) My book on the Hajj is so outstanding that I bet even Christian fundamentalists will love it! Please buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Mecca-Hajj-Lessons-Islamic-School/dp/0978615700/ref=cm_rdp_product
