The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: This is a tribute to George Carlin, who passed away recently, a unique one-of-a-kind comic, who brought joy and laughter to many. He will be missed. All of his material he wrote himself, plus the wisdom-filled paradox of our time: The paradox of our time is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less; we have bigger homes and smaller families; many conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We have learned how to make a living, but not a life. We have added years to life, not life to years. We have been all the way to the moon and back, but we have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space, but not inner space. We have done larger things, but not better things. We have cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We have conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We have learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast food and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce, fancier houses, and broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet to kill. A time when technology can bring this letter to you and a time when you can choose either to share this insight or to just hit Delete. Remember to say ﾓI love youﾔ to your partner and loved ones, but most of all, mean it. A kiss and embrace will mend a hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moments, because sometime someday that person will not be there. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. Always remember: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Well said, George Carlin ﾖ kudos to your soul.

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: Pretty soon, We the People will be voting for the political party, which will lead us for the next four, or eight, years. The outcome is crucial. Do we want big government, or small government? When Clintonﾒs big government was in charge, he got rid of most of the military, as Obama will probably do. Obama will raise taxes, and continue to expand social welfare so that the weaker or less motivated to work can be taken care of. Without going further, letﾒs all agree that no matter which party is in power, the elderly, handicapped, and the truly needy, should always be helped unconditionally. I would like to focus upon the moral changes where citizens in big government know that no matter what, the government will take care of them. That attitude is morally destructive, and it produces physical and mental weaklings. It takes away self dignity and self respect. Clearly the liberals in office like big government because of the enormous and powerful perks that go on for them. Those who receive welfare vote for the liberals to remain in office because liberals are their saviors. But those gullible dependents are trading in their own pride and self-respect for government security. How sad. Less government is best because every able bodied American must be responsible for himself, or herself, and the pride and dignity maintained is a million times more valuable than big government handouts. Currently we see the moral decay taking place in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where 17 girls from age 15 through 17 have chosen to become pregnant and proud of it. Where is the shame? Why the proud arrogance? These girls plan to raise their children together. Who will pay the expenses? It will not be their parents who did not give them the moral parameters and backbone to abstain. Since big government via social welfare has gladly given other young unmarried mothers free apartments and free money, their parents have been off the hook. That is because We the People are supporting the delinquency. Whatﾒs to worry? I think the situation stinks. When high schools are providing nurseries for the loose teenage mothers so they can stay in class and have other schoolmates envy them, while We the government pick up the tab, society is condoning something terribly wrong. Our once proud responsible country is going into the sewer, all of which is the fault of big government or Big Daddy. That reason alone underscores why these misguided shameless girls and parents prove we must vote for small government, and that means John McCain. He is not the perfect choice offered, but he is infinitely better than Obama who is a carefully chosen extremely liberal puppet who is not running the show. The fact that he is black is a plus for our democracy, but I believe, like good wine, he is not yet mellowed enough to lead the nation. For KSCO and KOMY, this is Kay Zwerling. ﾩ Copyright 2008

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: As we think about China, and how she has so rapidly become a world presence, we may remember Napoleonﾒs famous description ﾓLet China sleep for when she awakens, she will shake the worldﾔ. Today, China is not only awake, but because of her enormous population, she is or will become arguably the greatest force in the world. So, despite what our sophisticated Wall Street types have to say, China is getting richer and stronger, and we are becoming weaker. Ironically, Chinaﾒs funds invested in America, now so powerful that if she removes those possible billions and trades them into Euros, our economy may collapse. But, the Pandoraﾒs box is now open, and will never close. Why did we allow this inequity to happen? Wouldnﾒt fair trade have been better than free trade? Fair trade means that I give you 50%, and you give me 50%. Recently, I read a most intriguing article, with regard to China, who is much more aware and aggressive than we are about acquiring the worldﾒs dwindling raw materials. China is now engaged in Africa, specifically the sub-Sahara countries like Mozambique which supplies lumber, and Zambia which supplies copper. The Congo has a wide range of minerals, and equatorial Guinea has oil. China, at a frantic pace, is swooping up the copper, timber, natural gas, zinc, cobalt, and you name it. Because China can see that in the foreseeable future, factoring in the recent luxury needs of China and India, plus all of Europe, Asia, and the United States, there will be a shortage of these raw materials. The awakened giant is now buying up everything that the poor sub-Sahara countries will willingly sell her. Evidently we are either too timid, or not looking ahead, or asleep at the wheel, or maybe too obsessed with corrupt American politics. In fact, our country is involved in the sub-Sahara countries, but not in the aggressive way like China is. We should wisely remember the forgotten work of Thomas Malthus, who said some two centuries ago, ﾓThe power of population is infinitively greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for all mankind.ﾔ In other words, eventually there may not be enough of the raw materials to serve all mankind. Like China, shouldnﾒt we be more aggressive about obtaining the raw materials while they are still available? For KSCO and KOMY, this is Kay Zwerling. ﾩ Copyright 2008

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: Putting aside politics, energy concerns, and the myth of Global Warming, though we humans should clean up our own pollution anyway, how about feeling carefree and humorous for awhile? For many years, Ann Landers in her syndicated newspaper column, dispensed logical advice on all subjects, and many of us read her wisdom daily. You should enjoy her following timeless Ten Commandments of How To Get Along With Other People. Here it is: 1st Commandment: Keep skid chains on your tongue. Always say less than you think. Cultivate a low, persuasive voice. How to say it often counts more than what you say. 2nd Commandment: Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully, no matter what the cost. 3rd Commandment: Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging word to or about somebody. Praise good work, regardless of who did it. 4th Commandment: Be interested in others, their pursuits, their work, their homes and their families. Make merry with those who rejoice; with those who weep, mourn. Let everyone you meet, however humble, feel that you regard him as a person of importance. 5th Commandment: Be cheerful. Donﾒt burden or depress those around you by dwelling on your aches and pains and small disappointments. Remember, everyone is carrying some kind of burden. 6th Commandment: Keep an open mind. Discuss but donﾒt argue. It is a mark of a superior mind to be able to disagree without being disagreeable. 7th Commandment: Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves. Refuse to talk about the vices of others. Discourage gossip. It is a waste of valuable time and can be destructive and hurtful. 8th Commandment: Take into consideration the feelings of others. Wit and humor at the expense of another is never worth the pain that may be inflicted. 9th Commandment: Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Remember, the person who carried the message may not be the most accurate reporter in the world. Simply live so that nobody will believe him. And, finally: 10th Commandment: Donﾒt be anxious about the credit due you. Do your best and be patient. Forget about yourself and let others ﾓrememberﾔ. Success is much sweeter that way. Thanks Marcia Miller for resurrecting this great information. And, now, itﾒs chuckle time, and here are a couple jokes about older peoplesﾒ sense of humor: Bob, a 70-year-old extremely wealthy widower, shows up at the county country club with a breathtakingly beautiful and very sexy 25-year-old blond who knocks everyoneﾒs socks off with her youthful sex appeal and charm. She hangs onto Bobﾒs arm and listens intently to his every word. His buddies at the club are all aghast. At the very first chance, they corner him and ask, ﾓBob, how did you get the trophy girlfriend?ﾔ Bob replies ﾓGirlfriend? Sheﾒs my wife.ﾔ Theyﾒre amazed, but continue to ask ﾓSo, how did you persuade her to marry you?ﾔ ﾓI lied about my age,ﾔ Bob replied. ﾓWhat? Did you tell her you were only 50?ﾔ Bob smiled and said ﾓNo, I told her I was 90.ﾔ

And, how about this one: An elderly gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane. At the French Customs desk, the man took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on bag. ﾓYou have been to France before, Monsieur?ﾔ, the Customs officer asked sarcastically. The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously. Then you should know enough to have your passport ready. The American said ﾓThe last time I was here, I didnﾒt have to show it.ﾔ ﾓImpossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival to France.ﾔ The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look, then he quietly explained, ﾓWell, when I came ashore on Omaha Beach on D Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldnﾒt find any Frenchmen to show it to.ﾔ For KSCO and KOMY, this is Kay Zwerling. ﾩ Copyright 2008

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: After listening to 60 Minutes recently, we Americans should be deeply ashamed for the lack of proper action from our government. Are our leaders losing their marbles, or are they so wrapped up in their own earmarks that nothing else matters? Briefly, over 100,000 Iraqi citizens, who agreed to help our military with valuable information when they were asked, now find themselves marked for death by other Iraqis who deeply resent our military intrusion in their country. Our government should move rapidly to bring those Iraqis and their families who are in danger here to the U.S. But, thatﾒs not happening easily. Our Congress claims that the process to bring these Iraqis to the U.S. must be slow and deliberate because some of them could be terrorists. I say bullpucky. There is something wrong with this picture. As I mentioned many times, President Bush, and the three or four Presidents for the past 30 years clearly have not shown any concern about our open borders, so that now there are thousands of possible terrorists, criminals, and other unsavory people entering our country without any inspection whatsoever. Now they are suddenly careful about those Iraqis who helped our military in Iraq? After five years, and over the billions we taxpayers are spending in Iraq, one becomes weary about our situation. Whatever our good intentions, we are in a very difficult mess, and leaving now may also be disastrous. However, there is another dimension to this dilemma. Amazing and wonderful things are happening in Iraq, things which our occupation made possible. Now there is the possibility of another democracy like Israel in the Middle East. Thanks to our fighting men and women, we are achieving success in Iraq. Did you know ﾖ probably not - how could we, the media wonﾒt share the current good news. But ﾖ Did you know that 47 countries have reestablished their embassies? Did you know that the Iraq government currently employs 1.2 million people? Did you know that 3,464 schools have been renovated, and that 265 schools are under construction? You didnﾒt know that. And, that in hire education there are 20 universities, 46 colleges, and four research centers currently operating? Of course you didnﾒt, because our media wonﾒt let us know that. Did you know that the Iraqi Navy and Air Force are operational? And, that the Iraqi police service has over 55,000 fully trained officers? And, that there are five police academies in Iraq that produce over 4,500 new officers every eight weeks? Did you know that there are more than 1,100 building projects going on in Iraq including schools, hospitals, and railroad stations? No, nobody told us. Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary schools? And, that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq? Did you know that Iraq has 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers, and ten television stations? Bet you didnﾒt know that. Did you know that two candidates in the Iraqi Presidential election had a televised debate? Of course you didnﾒt know. Why didnﾒt we know? Because our media wonﾒt tell us. Tragically the left accentuating the negative in Iraq serves two purposes. Itﾒs intended to undermine the worldﾒs perception of the U.S. thus minimizing consequent support, and itﾒs intended to discourage American citizens. The media is despicable to withhold this honest information. Despite the disloyal American media who want us to fail in Iraq, another democracy may be borne in the Middle East which will benefit all democracies and, indeed, the world. These facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense website. And, kudos to you Paul Trigg of Santa Cruz for sharing this information with us.

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: In the late 1920s when I was a child, I remember relatives and friends who yearned to go to live in the Holy Land. They went to the Middle East and purchased small plots of land from various Arabs who were happy to dispose of their arid property. Only after they saw that the Jews by creating drip irrigation, made their arid land blossom, those Arabs became envious, and tensions arose, and those tensions still exist, and will never go away. I was a young mother in my mid 20s when Israel became a State in 1948, and suddenly the surrounding Arab countries were joining together to annihilate Israel for becoming a recognized State. Israel urged those Arabs living peacefully among them to remain in their homes and be protected by the new State. But, their Arab brethren urged them to leave, assuring them that the Israeli Jews would easily be crushed, and the Arabs could then return to their homes victorious and safe. That never happened. Since they chose to leave Israel, Israel no longer wanted them back. So, what happened? Those displaced Arabs were not taken in by their Arab brethren who lived in large wealthy oil countries, and could easily have absorbed them. Instead, those Arab countries chose to keep the Israeli Arabs in camps indefinitely. Why? Specifically, to keep the displaced Arabs as political pawns, to make the world sorry for them, and to hate Israel and to admonish their displaced brethren to never accept the Palestinian State offered to them until Israel is destroyed. That was 60 years ago. They could have had their own country for the last 60 years. But, the stubborn Arabs still hope to throw Israel into the sea. That has not happened yet, but who knows? Surrounded by enemies, Israel is doomed to remain in a constant state of war. It is a shame. Israel is a tiny country, which can be traversed from north to south in eight hours, and east to west in three hours. Ideally the Arabs should accept their Palestine now. Next to Israel and both should live in peace and mutual respect, and the world will be much happier for it.

P.S. - A few listeners called to remind me that I attributed last weekﾒs commentary to the wrong Miller. It was a Larry Miller, not Dennis Miller. I Googled Larry Miller, and found a number of them, and learned that the original Larry Miller in 2002 never got credit for that Palestinian piece nor others of his writings. Iﾒm sorry for that error. But the message was interesting, though the right Larry Miller should have received the credit, and the kudos for it.

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: Remember Dennis Miller. Heﾒs a commedian who has a show called Dennis Miller Live on HBO. Heﾒs also a weekly guest on the Bill OﾒReilly show. Although he is not Jewish, he recently had the following incisive observations about the Middle East situation. Because of its length, I left out some of his remarks. I am Jewish, and care intensely about Israelﾒs survival. Kudos to Dennis for his straightforward facts. Much of this is on the internet, but not everyone has access to it, and I believe everybody should hear it. So, hereﾒs Dennis ﾖ A brief overview of the situation is always valuable, so as a service to all Americans who still donﾒt ﾓget itﾔ I now offer you the story of the Middle East in just a few paragraphs, which is all you really need, so here goes ﾖ The Palestinians want their own country. Thereﾒs just one thing about that. There are no Palestinians. Itﾒs a made-up word. Israel was called Palestine for 2000 years. Palestinians sounds ancient, but itﾒs really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in the 1967 war, Gaza was owned by Egypt, the West Bank was owned by Jordan, and there were no Palestinians. As soon as the Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what do you know - say hello to the Palestinians weeping for their deep bond with their lost land and nation. So for the sake of honesty, letﾒs not use the word Palestinian anymore to describe these delightful folks who dance for joy at all events until someone points out that theyﾒre being taped. Instead, letﾒs call them what they are, ﾓother Arabs who canﾒt accomplish anything in life and would rather wrap themselves in the seductive melodrama of eternal struggle and death.ﾔ How about this then? Arabs are adjacent Jew haters. OK - so the adjacent Jew haters want their own country. No, they donﾒt. They really could have had their own country any time in the last 30 years, when Israel became a nation, but if you have your own country you have to have traffic lights, garbage trucks, Chambers of Commerce, and worse, you actually have to figure out some way to make a living. Thatﾒs no fun. They want what all the other Jew haters in that region want - Israel. They also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course. Thatﾒs where the real fun is. But, mostly they want Israel. Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel or the Zionist entity as their textbooks call it for the last 50 years has allowed the rulers of Arab countries to divert the attention of their own people away from the fact that they are the most illiterate, poorest and backward on Godﾒs earth. It makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about the great history and culture of the Muslim mid east. Unless Iﾒm missing something, the Arabs havenﾒt given anything to the world since algebra ﾖ and by the way, thanks a lot for that one. As you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst Jews would do to people is to debate them to death. Mr. Bush, God bless him, is walking a tight rope. I understand that with vital operations in Iraq and others, itﾒs in our best interest as Americans to try to stabilize our Arab allies as much as possible. However, in any big story strategy thereﾒs always a danger of losing moral weight. Weﾒve already lost some after September 11th. Our President told us and the world he was going to root out all terrorists and the countries who supported them. Beautiful. Then the Israelis, after months and months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City every week, and then every day, start to do the same thing we did, and what do we do? We tell them to show restraint. So much for our leadersﾒ double standards. Please feel free to pass this along to a friend. Walk in peace. Be happy. Have a wonderful life. And to you, Dennis Miller, kudos again for your honest and blunt interpretations. For KSCO and KOMY, this is Kay Zwerling. ﾩ Copyright 2008

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: Much of the following thoughts were suggested by my bright and concerned friend Zolton Egerizi who left his native Hungary and family at the age of 18 feeling he could no longer live in an oppressive communist community. This commentary is called Nobel Prize for Fraud. For many years, the Nobel Peace Prize has been bestowed upon the best and brightest. Some of these prizes were given for the right reasons to the right individuals, say for medicine, economics, inventions, or whatever makes human life better. In recent years, the Nobel Peace Prize has become more often a political joke for promoting international socialism, the U.N., and the new European Unionﾒs public political agenda. Yasser Arafat, the inventor of airline highjacking, received a Peace Prize for promoting peace in the Middle East, which has been than a total failure. Arafat, the Middle Eastﾒs biggest corrupt leader, stashed away over $10 million in Swiss accounts, so the useful idiots in Palestine could keep on rioting on the issue of property and especially about the existence of the State of Israel. Along came Kofi Annan, the U.N.ﾒs General Secretary, who received a Peace Prize for organizing the U.N. to be a more efficient accountable organization. Oh sure - this was nothing more than the biggest bold-face lie. During the reign of this Nobel Prize international mafia don of the U.N., he managed to swindle more than $24 billion (with a B) from the Iraqi people using the Food for Oil scam to move money into the coffers of the U.N.ﾒs socialist lawyers. The moral of this story is, if you steal, steal big, then nobody will put you in jail. You get more jail time stealing car than for stealing a multi-billion dollar fraud. Some of Kofi Annanﾒs people did receive some jail time; others hid behind diplomatic immunity, but nothing happened to Kofi Annan. The U.N. must have a more transparent and clear accounting system, and be accountable to all member countries. If not, the U.S. should just get out of this socialist cesspool. For years, I wanted our country to remove itself from this corrupt self-serving group whose only agenda is to rule the globe and subordinate all the countries under their rule. Along comes the latest fraud ﾖ Al Gore, the new High Priest of the Global Warming scam, trying to scare the uninformed. He was given a Peace Prize for what? It should have been called Nobel Prize For The Biggest Lie. This Global Warming garbage is nothing more than a fake for the U.N. to come up with an international tax system collected on energy, energy use, and the ability to control other nations through the U.N.ﾒs dictatorship. The U.N. received 51 prostituted votes from liberal climate scientists on the left and on government payroll, during the Paris Climate Conference. Yet it ignored 400+ other scientists who dispute that CO2, or man, is the cause of Global Warming. That is nonsense. The U.N. is after taxes again. They blame the USA and people who could be taxed and leached upon while their communist friends in China, India, or South Korea can pollute the air all day and all night. Well, the capitalist smoke really bothers them, but not the marijuana smoke first or second hand. 15,000 Global Warming gihadists, the environmental activists with their chief alarmist Al Gore, met in the tropical Bali Indonesia a while ago to urge all nations to hurry up and sign the new treaty. It is like a band of bank robbers ﾖ hurry up before they find out that we have looted them. The media continues to neglect to mention that President Bush will not sign the Kyoto Agreements because the worldﾒs worst polluters, China and India, are exempt from cleaning up their filth. Who do you think paid for this nice winter vacation for most of the delegates? The U.N. from money they collected for the Indonesian tsunami victims. They collected over $1 billion, gave out less than $100 million, so they are having a good time on your feel-good donation. The U.N. also wants to highjack the internet domain registration control from the U.S. so countries like Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, and others could block internet traffic not approved by the dictators. The U.N., under the L.O.S.T. Treaty, wants to control the seas all around the world, and the minerals and oil in the sea beds, tax the resources and distribute it among third-world countries. The Robin Hoods of New York, the U.N., will get a very handsome commission, plus controlling where our Navy can sail or not sail. We are totally sick of this U.N. mafia. Kudos to you Zolton for shining a light on much of this important information. Isnﾒt it time for We the People to direct our government to resign from the U.N., which we have tolerated and subsidized for more than 60 years? They routinely veto whatever our representatives recommend and have leached upon us long enough. Clearly, their agenda is to rule the world. America ﾖ Please Wake Up before itﾒs too late!
