Breath our scents, walk our landscape, hear our melodic dialects, delight in our savory morsels, touch each rich texture, and the southern essence remains a mystery. The ethereal south, unfathomable to the five senses, lives in the heart. If you believe in magic, and can survive the devastating passions of an open heart, just possibly, you stand a chance of living a moment as a southerner. Most people aren't brave enough to be southerners, even the ones that are.

Passion, Politics, Power are “P” Words


Is this person someone we know? Actually there is an uncanny resemblance erh? So what has this picture of Marilyn got to do with passion, politics, and power? Passion, politics, and power in that order can be a good thing, reverse, or mix it up, and it can be a deadly thing.

Miss “N” was just last week telling me some things she had read recently concerning the untimely demise of Marilyn Monroe. How ironic that I would, while surfing around today, run across an article on the Reader’s Digest site, addressing some of the issues mentioned by, Miss “N”. It was very intriguing reading.

One avenue that the RD article didn’t go down was the connection between the Sam (Momo) Giancana family and JFK. The connection between Hollywood and La Cosa Nostra is common knowledge, and given the info in the RD article, it’s conceivable, for various reasons, that Marilyn was murdered. Especially since; (a) plans to murder or overthrow Fidel Castro may have been discussed by either or both, Bobby Kennedy and or JFK, in front of or even with Marilyn, and (b) it is also known that Sam Giancana also met with CIA reps concerning the potential murder of Castro, and (d) one could go on and on about the Mafioso and the Kennedys, and Castro, and womanizing, and double crosses, but I will give it a rest here.

Was Marilyn Monroe murdered in a manner to look like suicide and discredit her? Did she accidentally overdose? Did she intentionally just do herself in? The Reader’s Digest article is intriguing and informative, but of course, leaves so much unanswered. I give it a 4 out of 5. I think the subject bears further investigation. Do I smell a full length book in the making? Anyway, I recommend the article:

Bombshell
44 years after Marilyn Monroe's tragic death, just released government documents raise new questions about what really happened. By Anthony Summers

Power never was all it’s cracked up to be. Politics isn’t what it used to be. That just leaves passion. Which, brings me back to where this post started. Politics is always about either passion or power, or both. Power for the sake of power is an empty accomplishment. But passion? You don’t want to step out in front of that train.

I have a few things in my life that I’m passionate about; the divine Miss “N” being at the top of the list. They say that Marilyn was very smart also, maybe too smart. Maybe she came to know too much. And you know, she was almost as pretty as Miss “N”; almost. Too bad that she didn’t have the centering and strong anchoring that Miss “N" has. Things might have been different for her. For more reading on this subject also see these brief articles:
