the worst part, Marg, is that the cops are so corrupt in chicago that most of the time, it’s not because they’re out investigating an actual crime, but on their way to committing one. i never feared police until i lived there. and may Dog smite the poster who mentioned the mower. for now i [...]

do you all believe in “parking mojo?” when i lived in cities where that was an issue, i used to pride myself on having it. “we *will* find a spot two blocks from the club, dammit!” and i’ve noticed that the bigger the city, the less they care about drunk driving. which makes no sense, [...]

what amazes me about those days is the capacity of the youthful human body. i was a star athlete, a pretty good student who studied and worked hard, had a part time job and a couple of clubs. and a total stoner, smoker and drinker. i am going to be very truthful with my nieces [...]

that’s something i’ve always wanted to do but haven’t, drive really big honking trucks and whatnot. i used to tend bar, and one of my best customers was a crane operator. he had a really really really big machine with lots of gears and levers and stuff. i guess i’m like my nephew; super big [...]

then there was the time we were out in the sports car, i forget the name they don’t make them anymore, some superlight plastic thing with a peppy engine, driving down to the city on one of the main cruising drags to go to the place that would sell us booze even tho we didn’t [...]

it’s funny, i used to care about cars. i so totally don’t anymore. whatever, it takes you and your junk where you want to go, and if it runs and doesn’t cost too much or use too much gas, it’s fine. my identity is not invested in a car. but when i was young, growing [...]

Move south.
no thanks. i think things will be a little too warm for my liking down there real soon. also: we have water here, and increasingly that matters.

greetings, all. walking the puppy is the other thing i do. also: organic sulfur crystals as a nutritional supplement which actually is for depression more than SAD but has a positive effect anyway.

the ironic thing, DW, is how many of the educated, intellectual class of today are firmly in the working class in terms of employment opportunities, and not likely to rise above it any time soon. the intellectual group was the first to see the effects of globalization and deregulation and watched their middle class job market evaporate. i don’t disagree with anything you just said, but i sure do know a lot of PhDs and MAs working at restaurants and clerking retail stores. the shared consciousness of the modern day working reality you believe needs it happen is already here, in some ways.

I was actually shocked at how awful the work is and could get him to be chair of Princeton economics dept.
why? most economic “theory” these days is bunk. total claptrap. we shouldn’t be afraid to say so. just because a famous award recognizes a few corporate/bankster apologists every year? meh, they gave President Cave In one too, for “peacemaking.” banksters don’t create jobs or real wealth. the government can and should inject large amounts of money into the working class during economic depression. regulation is healthy for business. etc. these ideas are regularly described as unreasonable and wrong by “leading economists,” most of whom have never done an honest day’s work in their lives. it’s labor day, let’s call these people what they are: parasites.
good morning, pups.

there is a lovely native forest grass that grows here. ideally, because i have six lil ones in the family and will need some open space for them to play on when they visit, i’d replace this consumer grass crap with that. the best part about it is that you don’t have to mow it. it only grows so high, and doesn’t make a seed head or anything like that. i really does look like green waves of ocean water rippling, when the wind blows it. of course, the HOA rules here prohibit grass being over so many inches long and this stuff is longer than that, so the local busybodies would probably complain if i did. lucky for me, the HOA here is made up of timid bluehairs who bitch and moan, but never actually enforce anything. i know it, they know it. so we’ll see.

exactly, Sharkbabe. i say we get together and fundraise so we can help some of our more prominent libertardian leaders cast off the oppressive burden of US citizenship and move to the islands of freedumb. it won’t be long until most of them are at the bottom of the sea. first good hurricane should take care of them.
