Immigration is inevitable, part of the human fabric. Mine as well free Jeff Skilling too. Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution; Commerce Clause: “Consumers”–Secretary of State, General Colin Powell during #43 reign.
Maybe not a paradise of people after the initial outlays are spent, but workable with prayer.

JONATHAN E: You can’t make me quit.
Rollerball, A Film by Norman Jewison; screenplay by William Harrison, a Texan who moved to the University of Arkansas to teach literature.
@OrelHershiser, futurist. Another thing Orel was onto in his @SportsNetLA broadcast was #RockEmSockEmRobots Why click on the #MuteButton? Usually staying at home doesn’t get ratings. How level a playing field will twitter have in times ahead? #Regulation
Vin Scully: He’s one of the best. I’m a futurist too. I was just looking up how often Clayton Kershaw throws a wild pitch and wouldn’t ya know it–he throws a wild pitch! Just a moment longer and I could have beaten Clayton to the punchline.
Ned Colletti: What Vin? Wouldn’t the punchline have belonged to Clayton making you wonder if you jinxed or influenced that pitch?
Jerry Hairston Jr.: Yeah, if it’s wild, he didn’t control it.
Clayton Kershaw: Anyway WE won. WE controlled it.
John Rubens: I wish more Texans thought collectively. #CollectiveUnconscious
Carl Jung: “John, start with the man in the mirror–like Michael Jackson sang.”
John Rubens: Like Michael Jackson sang? He’s my age. So is Madonna and the artist formerly known as Prince–and Orel Hershiser. Oh, man in the mirror.
Orel Hershiser: Yeah, don’t name drop unless it’s good stuff.
John Rubens: The greater the divergence, accretion may absorb.–Herbert Marcuse
Jerry Hairston Jr.: I told you the Giants were coming and we were well to warm up our bats in Arizona.
Ned Colletti: Warm? It got a little heated in Phoenix I’d say. [On bench clearing confrontations/meltdowns: “Ya use it.”].
John Ravin, Ambassador John Gavin or Josh Ravin?
Oliver Goldsmith, Lord Peter Goldsmith or Paul Goldschmidt?
We won as a human team. International integration.
“Did someone notice me yet? Yasiel Puig. PUIG!”
VIN SCULLY: Oh boy.
ARNOLD SCHWARTZENEGGER: I’ll be back.
VIN SCULLY: I’ll probably be here. We can climb together.
ARNOLD SCHWARTZENEGGER: No problemo.
VIN SCULLY: You don’t have the last word here.
ARNOLD SCHWARTENEGGER: Porque non?
VIN SCULLY: Oh boy.
John Adams, by David McCullough, Simon & Schuster (2001).
Special thanks to Steve and Melissa Rubens who gave me the hard cover First Edition as a scholarly gift for Christmas or my birthday.
Reality shows have standardized acting and raised the bar on an actor’s on and more often, off-screen persona.
One cannot expect to exercise one’s prerogatives and still get hired and kept on for on-screen turns when others play well in cliques.

Dear Josh:
Too many Joshes I guess. John Ravin in the pen.
“You’d think you were in a Twilight Zone game.”–Vin Scully
I’m sure Vin means well. It’s good for my soul, how about YOU in the month of September!
It’s the hormones & high blood pressure.

CHAD, County Sheriff of San Bernardino Co. gets my virtual vote. Although Protestants have personality, Catholics seem to be more DOGE-LIKE. Charity is more rampant at #PepperdineCaruso. Furious indignation. Italian-Americans are equals. CHAD is RAD. Post-commentary by John Rubens: subtext: Although Protestants have personality, Catholics seem to be more DOGE-LIKE.

Maybe subconsciously, @KennyPolcari helped me make these posts. Re: Lawyers, Insurance, currency. #LennonMcCartney “I want money.” LENNON: Look you son-of-an American. PAUL: Too bad the Americans never understood John.
Maybe subconsciously, @KennyPolcari helped me make these posts. Re: Lawyers, Insurance, currency. #LennonMcCartney “I want money.” Dear Poor PEOPLE: Charles Dickens is a friend, Edgar Allan Poe is too. Hermann Hesse is disgusted. Thank you, JOHN MATTHEW RUBENS against THE STATE BAR.
