I want my government back

Occupy movement's future unclear after NYC sweep
By COLLEEN LONG and VERENA DOBNIK - Associated Press | AP – 7 mins ago

NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of police officers in riot gear raided the Occupy Wall Street encampment in New York City in the pre-dawn darkness Tuesday, evicted hundreds of protesters and then demolished the tent city, leaving the future of the demonstration in limbo.  Read the rest

There was a time when I believed that this country did what was right.  Listened to We the People.  Now, I feel that the government listens to We the Corporations (which are people) and it isn't right.

I believe that eventually the people will be heard but we need to get a little louder.  I believe we should make our voices heard in the only way we can.  With money. 

Send a dollar to every politician in office with a post it note that says "Listen to all the people, not just those who can afford it'.  Do it now!

Heads Must Roll!

Ladies and Gentlemen, The San Diego Chargers:

It turns out I was wrong.  The Chargers are not an elite team that has had a bad run.  They are a bunch of Lonesome Losers that have been masquerading as an elite team for a season and a haf.

And there is plenty of blame to go around:

The offensive line, the defensive line, the secondary and, sadly the quarterback are all to blame.

So too are those who coach them, the general manager who micro manages them and the idiot who owns them.

I have been a fan since Air Coryel days and it took me thirty two years to figure out that we didn't win a Super Bowl then and we won't win a Super Bowl now. We are Lonesome Losers, beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time.

It is time for the San Diego Chargers to trade Dean Spanos who knows less about football than any owner in the history of professional sports.  Someone must break the spell thad A. J. Smith has cast on the Spoanos Family -- a spell that has them thinking that Smith can pick talent.

No. The only thing A. J. Smith can do is trade away talent. Junior Seau got his ring elsewhere, ditto Rodney Harrison, Drew Brees and I'd go on but I have already cried enough tears over this team.

I have cried gold and blue until year thirty two.  Today I quit giving a flying facisimile of funk about the San Diego Chargers, the mistakes, the lack of depth, the egos and the departures. 

I GIVE UP!

San Diego Chargers, I break with thee, I break with thee, I break with thee.  The dog poop for your shoes will arrive shortly.

I hate you and every thing you stand for.  I wasted the best years of my life.  I will never get any of it back.  Next year, I will follow whomever wins the Super Bowl this year.

Except the Patriots. I hate the Patriots.  And the Packers.  And..

Oh, hell!

Shakespeare and Anonymous

Another film about Shakespeare is here and this one (gasp) puts forth the authorship question.  The film Anonymous, which carries the tag line "was Shakespeare a Fraud?", was summed up by the San Diego Reader's David Elliott thusly, "Here is a film for people who hated Shakespeare in school, who think that iambic pentameter was taught in geometry, and guess that the first Hamlet was, uh... Simon Cowell? The movie, to its shame, enshrines ignorance about Shakespeare."

 I'm going to see it.  I love Shakespeare and watching scenes of his, in the period setting, is what gets me going -- regardless of who wrote them.  Then there is the virtual cavalcade of Shakespearean actors to be seen: OK only Vanessa Redgrave and Derek Jacobi but they're worth the price of admission alone.

So there are the period settings, the costumes, two great actors and three or four really good ones.  Done.  Now, for the arguments... Many Oxfordians believe that Shakespeare could not have written the plays, sonnets and poems attributed to him because he only had a grade school education, was a simple tradesman and was an actor.  Oddly, these are about the only facts extant about perhaps the greatest writer in the English language -- and the same Stratfordian arguments for his authorship as well. 

I will take them in order...

Grade School -- In Elizabethan England, grade school was 10-hours, six days a week of Latin and Greek and has been likened to a modern Masters degree.

Tradesman --Shakespeare's father John was a Glover and an alderman who tried most of his life to become a gentleman.  William ran off to be an actor and returned to Stratford a sharer in the best theatre troupe in London, purchased the largest house in town and got his family a coat of arms.

Actor -- Actors in Shakespeare's time had to have an immense amount of words in their heads.  They performed a different play every night and many parts in each play.  Imagine TV but live, with a limited number of actors.  Oh, and they all danced and sang too.  So an actor would have an immense vocabulary, understand plots and characters, and know how to put them together.

But only a genius could create the characters who said these lines and Shakespeare, whether he was a Glover from Stratford, the Earl of Oxford or the Queen herself (oh, yes that's a theory too). 

I offer  three nice sources on the authorship question:

How Shakespeare Changed Everything by Stephen Marche. This brief and witty book shares all the things Shakespeare brought into the world and some of the funny outcomes of actions by Shakespeare fans.  States that no one has ever been granted permission to write a masters' thesis on the Oxfordian argument.

My Name is Will by Jess Winfield You might recognize the name of one of the founders of the Reduced Shakespeare Company and  authors of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged.  His story is simply the best look into the life and times of William Shakespeare even thought the journey is taken by a dude on mushrooms at a Renaissance fair in northern California.

The Beard of Avon by Amy Freed Tough going as a playwright to write a play that has Shakespeare, the Earl of Oxford, the Queen and possibly a few others as authors of the Bards work.  Tough because most theatres are Stratfordian and too few have produced it.  But read this play, even if you can't see it.  It brings Shakespeare to life as well as his theatrical partners and his witty wife. If you want to have the argument, see the film, read the above and get ready.  It will be hard to change any one's mind.  After all the huffing and puffing, though, take your opponent to see a play!

Kevin Six is an actor, playwright and a self-described actorian who believes Shakespeare wrote his plays but had help from the actors in his troupe. He can be found at www.KevinSix.com.
