old mysteries and new dogs

for those of you who wanted titles of books on the kennedy assassination i will post them later. i have almost every one that has been published but they are all boxed up right now since we are putting in new wood floors and had to dismantle my floor to ceiling bookcase in order to move it. so...but one whose title i remember is RUSH TO JUDGEMENT by MARK LANE. it was the very first one out and it comes at it from the position that lee harvey oswald was not given a defense at the warren commission's hearings so he acts as defense attorney and raises so many questions that it started me on my quest to find out as much as i could about that terrible day.

on lighter note, we got a new dog yesterday so maverick could have a playmate so as to keep him from being bored. our last surviving dog from my pack that i had in california, marcus, the shepard, who is about 16 years old is on his very last legs and will die any day now. he is not in pain but can barely walk and sometimes i have to help him in and out of the door to go do his business. i made a sling that i put around his mid section and with this i can keep him on his feet. it is very sad but he has lived a long and full life and has never missed a meal, nor slept outdoors since he showed up at the shock place back in '93 when he looked to be about 2 at that time.

our new puppy is an all american mutt about 3 months old that we got from a rescue place. we have named her "Annie Duke Dog" after the famous female poker player. when we brought her home, maverick was not friendly towards her and rhonda was sure that he was going to kill her. (maverick and i got attacked by a pit bull a week ago on our evening walk and hence maverick is not too fond of new dogs. incidently, maverick won that particular fight or more accurately, he and i won that fight. maverick got the pb on the head before he could get a grip and i kicked that fucking dog so hard in the side that it sent him about three feet back and before he could charge again his owners ran out and grabbed him) so, when this puppy shows up at the front door with me and rhonda, maverick was quite pissed. rhonda was freaked, but i told her that it would be okay. i put mav on his choke leash and let the puppy loose in the house and whenever maverick would start to go for her i would jerk him back and talk to him. within two hours they were the best of friends and have been playing non stop ever since. annie dog will be about a 60-70 lb dog and is full of vim and vigor and will make a great companion for the dane.

while my wife is a brilliant woman and knows far more than i on many different subjects...when it comes to dogs, i am the authority. i have great faith in their inherent goodness (with the exception of pit bulls who have been so fucked by their breeding that now i feel that breed should be outlawed and let to die out. it is not the dog's fault but the fault of small minded people who wanted a "killer dog" to compensate for their own insecurities and small dicks. pit bulls are the jacked up pickup truck of the dog world. they, like their owners, are for the most part, stupid and mean.) dogs are very gentle with puppies, maverick was literally raised by my doberman, moredog, who was so amazingly soft with him and would wrap his paws around that puppy and hold him almost human like. he would lay on his back and let that rambuctious puppy leap on him. maverick now does the same. i have said this before, but will say it again, i prefer the company of dogs to the company of most humans. once a dog is your friend, he will never fuck you; can't say that about a lot of humans now can you?

back to the kennedy assassination for a moment; in last month's issue of VANITY FAIR, there was an article by E. HOWARD HUNT'S son who claimed that his dad told him before he died that he was, indeed, in dallas on that day and had participated in the killing but had not actually fired the shots. he named names and gave details. i must admit that i took the story with a grain of salt because the kid could just be trying to make some money. on the other hand, hunt's name has always been out there and he looks to be one of the "three tramps" brought in by questioning on that day but immediately released by the dallas police. those tramps were wearing new shoes and nice clothes which is not what most "tramps" wear.

for those of you who read this blog of mine, you ought to check out the comments from other readers on the posts. there are some really funny people who are responding to me. i have great respect for my fans and hope to never let them down.

Just as an addition to the Kennedy books "Crossfire" is one of the best, looking at every theory in a somewhat abject manner. "JFK" by L.Fletcher Prouty is a fantastic book insofar as it doesn't deal with the assasination directly as it relates how the political landscape led up to the assasination. L. Fletcher Prouty was a colonel and a CIA liason.
