"A LOVER'S WISH"


A LOVER'S WISH

I want to be the night’s darkness
That hugs you closer than I ever will,
Caressing you in a velvety feathery touch,
The inky blackness that fills your every pore,
The soft nothingness that feels your every curve,
Your every breath, every flutter, and every sigh.

I envy the dreams that fill your night
And flood your mind with blissful thoughts
Flattering, daring, telling worries to take a walk
Floating within your mind without a care but your happiness
Rolling back the hands of time in happy memories,
Touching your future before your morrow comes.

I wish to be the golden ray of a brand new sun
And bring a joyous sparkle to your big round eyes
The virgin touch on your ebony temple,
To brushe your lips with a morning kiss,
Kiss the dimples in your chubby cheeks,
And draw out your smile and the angel in you.

Let me be the glare of a blazing noon
To melt your heart and will away,
And burn on your soul my blessed name,
I shall wilt your fears and cares away
And make a shadow for your blessed feet
While you walk watch your step, while you run, break your stamp.

I want to be the red hot blood within your veins
So I’ll know your every crook and every nerve
Know what you tickles and what you ails,
When I touch the fountain of your sacred love,
And rush the breath and width of your being
To keep your heartbeat alive and make you tick.

I wish to be the evening’s breeze,
Fresh and cool to feel your skin tingle,
From my lazy touch on your rounded hips
And savour your scent when your skirts flutter
Running unseen fingers and ruffling your hair
Unseen, carefree, dancing, whistling our love song.

I want to be the dawn that breaks your day
The shadow, at noon to ever kiss your blessed feet
If only I would be the sunset; paint you a beautiful ending
Or the night to hold your dreams, so you’d ever cherish me.
I wish to be this and I want to be that
But I am only me, my love, and you love me for who I am.

Trailblazer Trailblazer

[Please, no outside food, drink or blog posts allowed into The LG Report.  Thank you.]

LG can be a trailblazer at times, as he was yesterday with his sister's Chevy Trailblazer.  Allow LG to explain.

This is not MIG's actual car but it's similar.  The LG Report
doesn't publish photos of people's actual cars.

LG's sister MIG is a very generous person, as proven again recently when she loaned LG her 2004 Chevy Trailblazer to move some big items.  LG has a small convertible, into which a loaf of bread barely fits.  One of those big French loaves you see hanging out of everyone's grocery bag in Paris would stick out the window of LG's car.  There must be a law in France that requires every grocery bag to contain a big loaf of bread.

As fate would have it, the driver's side low-beam headlight burned out while the car was in LG's custody. The headlights go on automatically, so don't try to blame it on LG's rough handling of the headlight switch or anything along those lines.  These things just happen.

Those of you who have tried to change on headlight on any car newer than 1990, know that it's not the easiest thing to do.  It's not like the old days when you just unscrewed a frame and popped out the bulb and put a new one in.  It's much more complex.  And costly, of course.

LG's first step was to consult the Owner's Manual.  It provided instructions for changing a tail light, but warned that any other lights on the car would have to be changed by a dealer.  Translation:  Chevy wants the dealer to make more money off of you

Fortunately, LG doesn't get bossed around by Owner's Manuals.  In fact, he rarely consults them.

You already know this is the Google
logo, why are you reading the caption?
Next step: LG typed "Changing a headlight on a Chevy Trailblazer" into Google, where he received step-by-step instructions.  The guy made it sound easy; said it could be done in less than five minutes.

Next Step:  LG went to the auto parts store to get a replacement bulb.  Possibly the most ignored sign in America is the one at every auto parts store that says "No Repairs Allowed in Parking Lot."  Yeah, sure.  People jack up their cars and change the transmission in most of these parking lots, never mind the myriad of smaller repairs that take place.  When it comes to being disregarded, that sign is right up there with "All Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Work" and "Please don't tip the blogger."    


This is not the actual bulb, LG didn't have the
presence of mind to take a photo of it at
the time, but it's a reasonable facsimile.

This particular auto parts store smelled very auto-partsy, as if someone had just changed their oil on the counter.  The Counter Guy, a skeletal figure who, LG believes, could've crawled through an exhaust pipe, consulted his all-knowing computer and, thankfully, they had the replacement bulb.  It cost LG $566.54 (not really, but MIG reads the blog and LG wants her to think that he really splurged...)

LG then went home and opened the hood to begin the replacement process.  There wasn't much room to maneuver in there.  It seemed like a robotic arm would be necessary to do this job.  LG is sure the Chevy Dealer has an expensive robotic arm back in the service area (insurance regulations don't allow you to go back there however...)  LG tried to get his hand where it needed to be but it looked hopeless.  LG's arm got stuck, momentarily, and all LG could imagine was the fire department showing up with the Jaws Of Life to free him.  That would've been embarassing.  LG would rather walk around with a Chevy Trailblazer stuck on his arm than have the firemen use the Jaws of Life in such a ridiculous way.  It would be an insult to the Jaws of Life inventor.  After a few minutes, LG gave up.



Sophie with her "Are there any more
treats left?" look.  Actually, all of
her looks say that.
Back on MIG's deck, LG sat eating lunch, figuring that he'd have to tell her to take it to the dealer.   Just then, MIG's dog Sophie gave LG one of those "You're not going to give up that easily, are you?" looks.  You know the one.  So LG gave it one more try.  Miraculously, he slipped his hand in and was able to remove the rubber outer bulb housing (sorry, we don't mean to get technical here.)  Then LG twisted the thingamajigger and removed the doohickey component.  After that, he replaced the Langstrom Sprocket Feeder while he was in there just for good measure.  All in all, it took LG less than five minutes, just as the Google Guy had said.

Let's recap some of the last 50 years' great scientific achievements:

1. Man on moon;
2. Invention of internet; and
3. LG changes Chevy Trailblazer headlight.

LG feels strongly that he and the Google guy are the only two non-dealers to ever successfully change a headlight on a Chevy Trailblazer.  He's a real Trailblazer trailblazer.

Thanks for stopping by, we hope to see you back again soon!

Sorry Mr. Heinrich, your robotic arm didn't reach into LG's pocket this time!

No More Waiting: Holmes And Watson Roll Again

Holmes and Watson on their way to Wales
I have been away for more than a week, and during that time at least three or four readers have been waiting patiently for Chapter 20 of my factual/fictional work-in-progress, in which Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are investigating the mysterious death of Welsh code-breaker Gareth Williams.

Fortunately for all of us, the wait is over. I am back at my desk on a more regular basis, and the 20th chapter is finished and posted.

I understand that following a serial-in-progress can be frustrating for those who prefer to read the last page of a mystery first. They want to see how it turns out before they read the rest of the book, and in this case it is simply not possible.

On the other hand, there may be some compensation in knowing that the last page of this story is not yet written -- and that my readers will find out what happens immediately after I find out myself.

For those who have been waiting, here's the newest: [Chapter 20: Unthinkable]

For those wishing to start at the beginning, this would be the link: [Sherlock Holmes and the Alderny Street Mystery]

Many thanks to those who have been encouraging me with respect to the "Alderney Street" project. I hope you will enjoy the newest chapter and those to come.

More soonest...

Neda Agha-Soltan and the Price of Liberty

by Michael Kaplan


This past spring (Monday June 14) HBO showed a documentary For Neda that explores the life of Neda Agha-Soltan, the young Iranian woman who was brutally murdered by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s thugs last year. Like so many people throughout the world I was horrified and filled with awe at the sight of this brave young woman who paid the ultimate price standing up for liberty. Unlike most of us who, whether out of fear or inertia, talk about liberty but don’t do much about it, Neda did something. She would not let those who’ve enslaved her country bully her. She would not let the theocratic tyrants control her mind or soul. In 1775 Patrick Henry said “Give me liberty, or give me death.” In 2009, in a country halfway around the world from Henry’s Virginia, Neda took up his challenge; she was going to be the mistress of her own destiny, wherever it might lead. And in doing so she became a martyr—a true martyr, a martyr for the liberty of all human beings, not one of those false martyrs who die for the jihad in hopes of finding 72 virgins in the afterlife.




Now, more than a year after Neda’s tragic death I have to ask the question that the makers of “For Neda” asked at the documentary’s end: “. . . did she die in vain?” Thomas Jefferson wrote from Paris in 1787 during the debates on the ratification of the Constitution, what he believed to be the price of liberty: “What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural manure.” Jefferson said many brilliant things as well as some contradictory and ridiculous things in his long public career. Some of them would outrage polite opinion in the twenty-first century. But the Sage of Monticello was on the mark here. Liberty is a hard won prize. Jacksonians understand that liberty is always easy to lose and once lost is very hard to regain. Which is why the right to bear arms, enshrined in the Second Amendment, is so important to them as the very bedrock of liberty. Declarations and constitutions are just beautiful words without the willingness and ability of the people to stand up for the principles they proclaim. It is almost impossible to win liberty from a tyrannical government that possesses a monopoly of fire power. The people of Iran have paid for that lesson in blood.

So far, a year and a half after Neda’s martyrdom, the prospects for liberty in Iran are not good. The Green Movement, driven underground, is down, though not out. The Islamic regime has, for the moment, survived the crisis. Ahmadinejad, Ayatollah Khamenei, and the mullahs are using the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij militia as their iron fist to crush any protesters brave enough or foolhardy enough to raise their heads. The Basij, many of whom are nothing more than street thugs, have been especially brutal, consistently engaging in the rape and torture of arrested protesters. The blog Islamization Watch posted (on February 21) a video and transcript of one Basij member who protested against the abuse of a group of children, all younger than 14, who had been taken into custody, stripped naked, and confined in a container. “What was this path that we’d taken,” he asked, “that it is an Islamic directive that people’s wives and children are being raped?” For his trouble this basiji with a conscience was himself arrested and tortured and driven into exile. This is just one example of the forces those Iranians yearning for liberty have to face.

Neda's death captured on video, June 20, 2009.

Neda Agha-Soltan and her fellow urban, educated, Iranians, who are the base of the Green Movement, are not, however, representative of Iran as a whole. Hard as it may be for Americans to believe, the Islamic regime does have considerable public support, especially among rural, traditional, religious, less educated, conservative Iranians—Iran’s counterparts to America’s Jacksonian conservatives you might say. Juan Cole, the Middle East scholar and far left pundit, calls Ahmadinejad “the Middle East’s populist answer to the American tea party. Except that these Iranian “Jacksonians” want a strong, intrusive Islamic government to tell them how to live their lives and provide for their basic material needs. Iran, like China and Russia, is a low-trust society that values security over liberty. Fareed Zakaria has pointed out in Newsweek and on his CNN show why comparisons between Iran’s Green Movement and the velvet revolutions of Eastern Europe in 1989 are off the mark. Polish, Czech, Hungarian, and East German anti-communist dissidents had three forces on their side: nationalism (communism was imposed by Russia), religion (the Catholic Church was anti-communist), and democracy. In Iran the Islamic regime has nationalism and religion on its side. The Green Movement only has democracy, and it’s not enough. Ahmadinejad, populist deamagogue that he is, has also been able to win over Iran’s populist nationalists by massive government spending on social programs for the poor.

Americans have a recurring fantasy, Zakaria observes, “that all good things always go together and all bad things go together, that men like Ahmadinejad are evil, also have no legitimacy, are also unpopular, and preside over a fragile regime about to collapse.” According to Reza Khalili, though, this is not just a fantasy. Khalili, a pseudonym for a former Revolutionary Guard turned CIA spy, insists, contrary to Zakaria, that the regime does not have a large base of support with the Iranian public, the overwhelming majority of whom “want to be free from the tyrannical rule of the mullahs.” Divisions within the regime’s establishment have been growing sharper and coming out into the open. Khalili reports that in July there was dissension within the Revolutionary Guards serious enough to prompt the Guard’s commander, Mohammed Ali Jafari to admit thatThere are ‘agent provocateur’ among the guards. . . .” Jafari proceeded to purge those guards whose loyalty was suspect. Khalili also talks about growing unrest in all sectors of Iranian society, even among the Tehran bazaar merchants who have been the financial backbone of the regime.

Melik Kaylan, writing in Forbes, has also reported on unrest among Bazaaris in Tehran, Isfahan, and other Iranian cities. These Bazaaris are really angry with Ahmadinejad for trying to impose a 70% tax hike on them. (Tea Party in Tehran anybody?) They are also displeased with the shift in power in the Islamic regime from the mullahs to the Revolutionary Guards, who they think act outside the law and are bad for business. “The Bazaaris,” Keylan notes, “Iran’s highly conservative merchant class, the backbone of the retail and wholesale economy, were the pivotal force in collapsing the Shah’s rule.” Their defection from Ahmadinejad, perhaps even from the entire Islamic regime, would pose the most serious threat the regime could face. An alliance between the Greens and the Bazaaris (and perhaps dissident elements in the Revolutionary Guard and reformist mullahs) is probably the only way to successfully confront and defeat the Islamic regime. Whether such an alliance will materialize remains to be seen.

Khalili writes: “The Islamic rulers are losing control of their people and their economy. . . . All we in the West need to do now is become more vocal in our support of the Iranian people and their aspiration for freedom.” Unfortunately I think Khalili, a frequent guest on the John Batchelor radio show, is engaging in wishful thinking designed to appeal to an American audience. As the purge of dissenters in the Revolutionary Guard indicates, the regime can still keep a lid on unrest. While Americans and other supporters of liberty throughout the world should be vocal in their support for the Green Movement, we should be under no illusions that the road to freedom in Iran will be quick or easy. Regime change in Iran will be a long, drawn out, and bloody process. Please refer to the Jefferson quote above.

Iranian woman protester, June 17, 2009.

Meanwhile, Iran’s women continue to endure the restrictions on their liberty imposed by a patriarchal mullahocracy. Though, truth be told, Iranian women are less restricted than women in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and many other Muslim nations. Iranian women, unlike their Saudi sisters, can drive their cars and interact more freely and naturally with men in public. Persian culture has long tradition of sensuality which the Islamic Revolution has not been able to suppress. Robert Kaplan, travelling through Iran in the 1990s, wrote that despite their headscarves and chadors, Iranian women found ways to indulge their sense of style and fashion.
Some women displayed bits of forbidden hair, along with flashy earrings; others wore kohl beneath their eyes, and, in not a few cases, lipstick. Many had finely manicured hands with long red fingernails. Many women also used perfume; occasionally I noticed an expensive French scent, which, unlike flowers in the cheap odor of incense, gave off a provocative animal aroma. . . . Iranian women would not be turned into peasants.
(Robert Kaplan, The Ends of the Earth: A Journey to the Frontiers of Anarchy [New York: Vintage Books, 1997], pp. 180-182.)


Neda, whose name means “divine voice” in Persian, was just such a woman. Her formal portrait in chador (at the top of this post) matches Kaplan’s description. With eyeliner and lipstick highlighting soulful dark brown eyes and full sensuous lips, Neda’s face radiates classical beauty and intelligence. The casual photo above captures a pensive and more whimsical Neda. How different from the video images of her death. Like any twentysomething woman anywhere in the modern world, Neda enjoyed wearing the latest fashions and makeup. She also loved working out in the gym, dancing, and Emily Brontë’s tragic romance, Wuthering Heights. She carved out whatever space she could to be herself, an independent, sensitive, and fun loving young woman who engaged passionately in the adventure of life.

Introducing The LGNN!

A few posts ago, The LG Report tried its hand at parodying real news.  While that was kind of fun, we're now going to take it a step further by introducing The LG News Network (LGNN), which will be comprised entirely of made-up stories.  So, really, it's not that different from FOX News, CNN and some of the others...

You're salivating for your LGNN fix, we know.  Let's not delay:
_____________________________________________________

NEWEST TOYOTA MODEL ANNOUNCED

(Torrance, CA) - Toyota today unveiled its newest car for the 2011 model year.  In accordance with new U.S. Department of Transportation "Truth-In-Naming" guidelines, the world's largest auto maker is calling its newest sedan the Toyota Recall.  As company Director of Product Development Yoshi Tanaku said, "We wanted to ACCELERATE our sales in the U.S., and this new model seems like a great way to create OUT OF CONTROL growth.  We're hoping that this car is a real SMASH in the American marketplace.  Even this sagging economy can't put the BRAKES on Toyota at this point."  The company also revealed that it is paying for a product placement for the new car in an upcoming sequel film,  "Total Recall 2."  [Yes, we know that writing the puns in all capitals was heavy-handed and unnecessary, but it amused us....]


T.V. HOST MAURY POVICH MAKES SURPRISE REVELATION

(Stamford, CT) - Maury Povich, host of the popular daytime show "Maury," [come on, you pause for it when flipping around the dial] disclosed today that his program's famed DNA tests, which seek to reveal paternity on national TV from among a number of suspects, are in fact, fake. "Real DNA tests cost a lot of money," he explained at a golf outing in South Carolina.  "As a midday show, we don't get big-time sponsors paying top ad rates with our audience of worker's comp cheats and the unemployed, so we have to cut corners.  We line up the photos of potential fathers alongside the baby's and our staff votes on who they think did the dirty deed.  If there's a tie we flip a coin. It's fast and cost-efficient.  I'm sure we're accurate at least 20% of the time, but it always makes for good television, so who cares?  This is what you get for going on a TV show for a medical procedure!"  [The LG Report apologizes in advance to any readers who met their real father on a "Maury" reunion show.]


LADY GAGA TO DON MEAT DRESSES AGAIN

Lady Gaga at the DeliWorld
Fashion Show in Bologna, Italy.


(Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, NYC) - Singer and professional nut-job Lady Gaga, who made headlines recently by wearing a dress made entirely of meat (pictured at left), announced today that she will wear more meat outfits during her upcoming nationwide tour.  However, she's putting a twist on things by choosing meat garments that are tailored to the cities in which she'll perform.  "In Philadelphia, I will be wearing a tasteful cheesesteak pantsuit," she said from her home on Long Island, which is constructed entirely from Yodel and Ring Ding boxes.  "For the Milwaukee show, I'll be wearing a bratwurst skirt and matching tank top, and in Washington, D.C., I'll have an evening gown made entirely from rump roast." 











O'DONNELL AGAIN DENIES BEING A WITCH

O'Donnell reacts when told that her local
grocer had no more bat whiskers or lizard tooth.

(A Spooky House in Wilmington, DE) - U.S. Senate Candidate Christine O'Donnell again publicly denied being a witch, as portrayed by some critics of the Delaware senatorial candidate.  "I just pray to Satan that people believe me this time," she said to gathered reporters.  "I know I've burst on the national scene rather abruptly, but I think conservative Republicans respect me.  I know I've captured the eye of Newt.  Gingrich, that is."  She then invited the group to come into her spider web-laden office to "Sit for a spell."  Three of the reporters emerged from the meeting with tiny heads.   




SPORTS NEWS: ROTHLISBERGER BACK IN ACTION

Rothlisberger greets fans.
(Pittsburgh, PA) - Disgraced Steelers quarterback Ben Rothlisberger returned to action recently after a four-game suspension for allegedly commiting a rumored sexual assault on a supposedly young lady in what is speculated to be Georgia [As you can see, we don't want to be sued...]  While prosecutors elected not to bring charges against "Big Ben," the NFL nevertheless suspended him for violating league personal conduct guidelines.  Speaking to reporters from his table  at Primanti Brother's, Rothlisberger showed great class and sportsmanship in acknowledging one of his mentors and supporters, a man who was not previously known to have been a role model for the Steeler quarterback.  "All I can say," he told reporters, "Is thank God for Brett Favre!"



STUDENT'S IDENTITY REVEALED

Sorry, no refunds kid!
A Boston College Law School student made national news last week when he, or she, wrote an anonymous letter to an on-line newspaper requesting a full refund of three years' worth of tuition in exchange for not taking a diploma.  The student said that he or she was falsely lured into attending law school by the promise of a lucrative career, and now laid awake at night worrying about paying student loans.  B.C. Law, however, was able to determine the student's identity by checking enrollment records.  "It was quite simple," said the school's Assistant Dean of Students, "We looked at our third-year class list and realized that there was only one student named 'Pathetic Loser.' "


That's it for this time folks. If something in here made you laugh, or even smile, please consider sending a link along to friend or two.  Hey, why not, they're always sending annoying things to you!  And, as always, thanks for clicking in to The LG Report, we'll be back with a new post soon.  The LG Report: gluten-free and no new two-year activations are ever required!

A FEW DAYS AGO, WE CELEBRATED "MASHUJAA DAY" IN KENYA. BIG NAMES WERE MENTIONED.........AND THE TRUE HEROES WERE FORGOTTEN........!

A JACK OF ALL


My name is Broom
I sweep your trash and your children’s filth,
Mop your vomit on the polished marble
And your wife’s piss on the waxed wood
Where you lay yester night, belching from bloat,
Pregnant with drink and foreign smoke.

My name is Carwash,
Your limo is clean and the hood all waxed
The black jaguar is, the pink Ferrari is revving!
Julia daughter must speed off to school!
And Jimmy boy must rush that tender.
Mama, your Benz in a minute! One more snore!

My name is Chauffer,
To this gossip meeting and that women’s workshop
She needs to learn how to tend her own husband
And that from a bachelorette and a serial divorcee
“Do as I say not as I do but if you must, do as I do!”
The women laugh, high fives, and money flies.

My name is Cook,
Oh midday it is! How soon! Where’s my breakfast?
Wait, the cat is meowing, the bulldog needs bone
Madam is calling, gossip luncheon is due
The workers are cursing, their lunch is overdue!
Utensils need scrubbing and the lamb needs chopping.

My name is Shambaboy
The lawn needs mowing and these weeds, oh my!
The kennel needs cleaning and the bitch must bathe
This sty is stinking but the cows need milking
Where is my breakfast? Oh it’s evening already!
The Boss is hooting but the sprinkler needs moving!


My name is Yaya
School is over; Julia’s boy needs picking
Feeding and changing, a child’s child, this one!
Homework then supper, lullaby or bed time fables?
Mama is screaming, Yaya, my back needs scratching!
And Julia is snapping “iron the nappies, will you?”

My name is Watchman,
The night has began but my day never ended
Mind the gate! Its Friday again, VIP dinner!
Roast lamb or boiled pork, champagne or ginger tea?
A bite of air for me will do, as I yawn and hope
When the VIPs leave, for a half chewed bone. If I am lucky.
