    RPPS Election Day: November 2000 Edition

  • Cream Puff Campaign: Mushy Result

    The issues facing the American people are well known: (a) the tidal wave of immigration, (b) the place of the English language, (c) adjustment to the cyber-age chopping down the number of available jobs, (d) rising gas prices, (e) US forces stretched thin in wars of unclear purpose, (f) spiriling expenses of health care, (g) shift in production to the Far East.

    Bush and Gore managed to run campaigns which avoided all the issues. Issues addressed by the Independent Candidates Buchanan and Nader were ignored by the Establishment Press. "debates might have had substance with the minor parties included and the talking heads who tried to give meaning to the meaninglessness eliminated," many have said.

    The substancelessness of the campaigns were poignantly presented by a Snickers bar commercial which showed a Jack-ass and a Woolly Mamouth in a childish argument with a voter in between.

    Small wonder the US Electorate failed to produce a clear result. By a handful of votes, Bush apparently carried the Electoral college and with that the White House. Gore refuses to stand aside.

    With the prospect of Constitutional crisis, Bush and Gore supporters have clashed in the streets.

    The public is non-plussed. Most of the combattants are patronage aspirants. "If you weren't in line for a political plum, why would you care?" an onlooker observed.

    The last major crisis of this type sprang from the 1960 campaign when democratic machines in Texas and Illinois cast far more votes than voters to send Kennedy to the White House.

    In 1960 President Eisenhauer interceded with VP Nixon and constitutional crisis averted. There is no Ike around with the prestige and moral authority to resolve the dispute.

    On the sidelines, President Clinton applauded the Establishment Press for its "responsible journalism" in reporting the ever more frequent resort to police violence in the political forum.

  • Fireworks in Washington

    Forget Holy Hill's quest to be Madam of the Big House and from that to be big Mama Herself! The fireworks have reached the capitol. Yes Brookhaven Town Supervisor Felix Grucci, the heir to the Grucci fireworks empire was elected to Congress.

    Felix Grucci a newcomer to politics came to the limelight several years ago when an explosion rocked the Grucci plant and sent most of the other family notables to the promised land.

    Faced with hearings to shut the plant, Felix sky-rocketed into politics with the fury of a roman candle.

    Will Felix electrify the Halls of Congress with his dazzling lights? We hope to see him gleam for Suffolk County among the Greater lights.

  • Canadian general Elections: Ho-Hum

    Dr Bill Loeppkey reports:It's a sad state of affairs when we in Canada and you in the United States reach a point of such huge voter apathy and indifference. Our Federal election is drawing very little attention. The main talk on the street is, get those arrogant Ottawa pols and try someone else for a while.

    The media in this country, like yours, is trying to make an interesting event out of something that is far from interesting. Add into that equation the big noises we hear from very small special interest groups and we end up with government of the minority, not majority. I am no better than any other man on the street. I have lost faith completely in politicians and those senior bureaucrats who are and will for the rest of their lives feed from the public trough.

    Bill Loeppkey the witty, hard hitting editor of the Internet's leading literary Ezine THE INDITER was previously named Prince Regent of the RPPS in Canada and beleaguered philosopher of 1999 and was granted the high and extraordinary degree Doctor of Fullosophical Studies. Bibliotek Nationale du Canada has archived Inditer.com as part of its permananent collection.

  • Philipeans Impeaches Estrada

    The Philipeano House of Representatives impeached The Philipeano President, the American actor, Joe Estrada for official corruption.

    Sources close to the politics of the former American province observed, "Do you think the United States is the only place that loves melodrama?"

  • In this issue
    This is of course the RPPS Autumnal Festival issue. November is the month when leaves fall in fluries and the pols wind up the Electoral campaigns. As nature starts its long winter rest, the US celebrates Thanksgiving.

    Of course the Puritan forefathers in the US didn't need a specific day to thank the Lord. In their Independent faith, every day is a day to serve the Lord.

    The Thanksgiving myth attributed to them could never have happened.

    So where did the Turkey, the yams, and the cornacopia come from.

    In the fall of 1864, the Confederate Army was repulsed in a break-out attempt along the Petersburgh- Richmond line. Good fortune found the north with a bumper crop of turkeys. Thus as the North celebrated the doom of the starving South President Lincoln declared a National Day of Thanksgiving for the deliverance of the nation.

    That day became the national holiday celebrated today with the Puritans imported as stand-ins.

    Nothing is as it seems.

    And that's the very theme of some new mysteries published in Inditer by Grant Deman

    1. Don Grant Deman: The Canadian O'Henry

      "Who guards the guardian?"

      Up in Canada on the pages of the nationally recognised Inditer.com Press, Grant Deman presents the classic question in a Canadian setting. In the Bunco Billy, Grant grants us an insider view at an undercover, industrial counter-intelligence operation led by the most corruptable cop imaginable, a recently landed immigrant (close your eyes O`Staves!) from Scotland.

      The saga of Bunco Billy is another astounding, triumph of Grant. The concept of Bunco Billy is intriguing: Who protects (or guards) the custodians? Qui custodes custodiens - - The Latin maxim shows it not to be a problem of recent origin. Bunco Billy is one of those memorable characters, a new comer, ( ASJ fence jumper; Can. irregularly landed immigrant) who can take the smartest and the toughest. But can he out smart a wronged female? Well worth reading! Well done Grant! ( ASJ: Hee-Haw! Can.: Here-Here) where you once challenged O'Henry (WS Porter) of Father Knickerbocker's rambunctious New York you now dare Arthur C. Doyle's staid Victorian London!

      Local colo[u]r from Ontario and Quebec provinces is exquisite.

      Brook Grant's Bronc Bunco Billy at the Inditer.

      With typical modesty Don Grant Deman replies: To be the Canadian Chocolate bar or to just have the muchies!

    3. Loeppkey v US

    4. Editors Choice: The Great Conservative Creed

      For God, Society and Republic

      This is the RPPS Election Edition and as we see the end of political mush and face the realities of the issues the pols avoided, we settle into a quiet Thansgiving that Elections come only now and then.

      Inditer carried the IMPORTANCE OF BEING LIBERAL by Kimit Munson bemoaning the liberal's dominance in popular culture.

      The Dean Responds:

      ,, I try to avoid 19th century terminology and usage. The words "right" and "left" are more descriptive ,,, Frankly there is a cultural divide in America between right and left,,,

      In the us right wing people are independents,,, they aren't groupie people who depend on media splash or public acclaim for sustenance or personal worth.

      A right wing person cuts his/her own path,,, thus in groupie, social situations a true right wing person could care less who wears what or who's talking to whom,,, a right winger sets his/her own standard AND naught what others think about it.

      A right winger would salute that Canadian anglican bishop who when faced with lawsuits from the indians engangering the church's wobbly financial condition: What do need a table, a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine?

      Thus hollywood was long before the John Wayne fiasco the Green Berets conceeded to the left,,, The left need each other to assure each other that they're correct.

      Lady Jane Grey

      The Reformation
      When whose pew you sat in could cost you your head.

      Lady Jane Grey

      staring Helena Bonham Carter with Cary Elwes, Michael Hordern, John Wood, Patrick Stewart

      Even if the soldiers on the Kosovo front are whistling the old commercial tune "Sooner or Later You'll Need Generals," politics of yesteryear were far more brutal in merrie olde England.

      Yet only the English have that clinical honesty about themselves to put out a film like Lady Jane Grey.

      After the death of King Henry VIII his sickly young son Edward VI ascended the throne. During Young Edward's short reign England veered toward a strict form of Reformist Protestantism. Church lands and wealth fell to the Greys and other nobles of the realm.

      Helena Bonham Carter plays the young Jane brought up to a life of privilege in the resplendent House of Dorsett made magnificient throught the spoilage of the Church and the ruination of its social "safety net."

      Yet trouble looms on the horizon. Frail Edward was according to good King Hal's will to have been succeeded by Mary.

      Jane is quickly married off to young Guilford Dudley, a nee're do well of the Sommersett line. It's a match of politics. The Duke of Sommersett is regent for the Protestant Prince.

      But what started as a marriage of convenience blossoms unexpectedly. Could it be love for the bookish Jane who can match wits in both Latin and Greek with the wisest of Princess Mary's councillors?

      When the young King died, politics rudely intruded upon Lady Jane Grey's life. Against her wishes, Jane emerged in a palace cabal as the next monarch.

      Patrick Stewart puts in an exquisite performance in his role as the enigmatic Marquis of Dorset whose machinations bring Jane to the Throne and whose vacillations cost Jane her life.

      The conspirators vowed to keep the country Protestant, but as soon as Lady Jane received the crown, against her will, the conspirators faltered in a bloodless show-down with "Bloodly" Mary. Jane's reign tottered after only nine days.

      Henry's legitimate daughter Princess Mary entered London unopposed.

      The part of Queen Mary is played with sympathy to Mary's religious beliefs. The villain of English history is portrayed not a ranting fuhrer or blood-crazed Soviet commissar but another human being caught up in the turmoil of the struggle for power, however temporal that proves to be.

      Imprisoned for treason in the Tower of London Jane and her young husband were sentenced to beheading.

      The film is memorable for its fair presentation of conflicting claims of Catholics and Protestants.
