Who is “Eduardo,” and who is ghostwriting for Dave Israel?
It’s interesting, the sheer guesswork that goes on in our opposing blogs.
I’m reminded of the “Who is John Galt?” question from the
book Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. At least in the end of that book there
turned out to be a real John Galt. In our case many of the alleged realities
are not realities at all. Sometimes they are more a “testing of the waters.”
Sometimes they are simply wild fantasies or figments of the imagination, with
one common purpose: denigrating the opposition in the eyes of the reader.
We get caught up in all this for sure. A certain someone
just loves to come out with a whole new screed every day. “See me, see me!” the
post fairly screams.
These are the days of the Blog Wars in Century Village. I
wonder if the era will pass. I suppose it will.
Isn't it interesting that Esther thinks I was referring to her in the above when there is no reference to her by name or even gender? It could just as well have been Gary.Is this characteristic of the self-absorbed or what?
ReplyDeleteWho IS John Galt?...
ReplyDeleteI recently purchased Altas Shrugged. I also have the movies, parts 1 & 2. I await the 3rd, hoping it will be as good as the first two. LOL. thought it was funny that you mentioned the book...
When are you heading back?
You find out at the end who John Galt is. He is a real person (in the book). I haven't known anything about the movies. I'm not particularly enthusiastic about Ayn Rand. I read her "Anthem" while here, because it was required school reading by one of my grandkids. It's a novella, far shorter than "Atlas Shrugged"--or, I suspect, "The Fountainhead," which I have not read. I could see similarities in "Atlas Shrugged" and "Anthem," but to go into them might spoil "A.S." for you.
DeleteNot sure when I will head back,Bob.. It's been cold here lately. The other day I thought for a moment of cutting the visit short to get to where it's warmer, but then someone told me it's been real HOT there in FL. I've become a weather sissy, I know. I think I'll head back in the middle of October, We are due to get warmer weather here in a day or two.
How is Sadie? I almost wrote "Sophie." Sophie is the companion dog my old boyhood friend Bob Maloney has. She was great for him just as Sadie has been for you.
Hope this finds you well.

Doing well as is Sadie. The paper has been keeping me very busy lately, lots of new ads, and such. hurry up and get back....it hasn't been that hot. rains quite a bit tho'.
ReplyDeleteHi Lanny,
ReplyDeleteWhat are "earlaps"? I think they were worn by hod carriers during the construction of the Sistine Chapel. The project was led by Michelangelo, who was a real Architect, unlike the "earlap" wearing hod carriers who in fact knew nothing!
Dave Israel
Did something in this post br ing up earlaps? According to the dictionary, earlaps can mean earflaps (part of a cap covering the ears) or refer to the earlobe or the entire outer ear. (There, Watson, being in a good mood this morning, has done your research for you, Holmes.) But how does this come up? You aren't still trying to solve that Murder in the Sistine Chapel, are you? Better leave that one for Miss Marple. I would say.
ReplyDeleteHi Lanny,

You must follow the entire zeitgeist of Malcontent BLOG drivel.
In this case the Postings of "Eduardo" who actually thinks himself an architect, and uses the term "earlaps" often; when in fact I suspect he might have been a hod carrier on the Sistine Chapel project.
Just my opinion of course.
Dave Israel
I believe I did see an "earlaps" reference or two in a recent Eduardo post now that you mention it, but I am not going back to check on this. When checking the opposition blogs now, I find myself more and more just glossing over what is said, because it seems so same -old, same-old. It's a very rare thing that gets praised, and you (Dave) are the goat for all ills. Ho hum! I shouldn't wonder that others tire of it, too. I think if the sun didn't come up tomorrow, they would find a way to blame you. "Sure as can be it's that Israel again, tinkering with the 'cloud' again during the wee hours of the morning from his office at UCO." Hod carrier? Could be.
