    CTuttle, I have so much stuff that’s happened this past week that’s so newsworthy……..yet SO weird that I’m avoiding talking about it. Because it would take so many words and I’m not the best person to coagulate those words.
    Damon Vickers coming into our community for 2 months reset the bar.
    Oh, the stories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Everything you write about Palestine and Israel is actually happening here in a convoluted way. Not so blatant, not so obvious for the common citizen.
    Thank you for your writing.

    I love Chicago Code. I can’t really recommend The Grand because it’s audience specific. But, it made me want to crotchet some of those half-gloves the women wear in their quarters at night.
    I’m doomed to see things differently!!!!!!!!!

    Sweet dreams, Suzanne. Glad you’re seeing a “Reason to Believe”. PT is amazing.

    If I use Chaucer’s spelling I bet I’m cow-towing to the expectations of a Patriarch society that fears “c”‘s as much as it is obsessed with “c”..
    p.s.
    there wasn’t shit on Netflix after all that trolling………I wish I wouldn’t have pigged out on The Grand and then Chicago Code.

    I heart substance over colonial grammar. Becuz I am a rebel. And I wish we could deregulate the “C” word but it’s complicated. :)

    Except one strayed into our community ,a rogue Wall Street Doomsday trader and he got a lesson in living within a real community. The morning after his mansion burned down at his own hand, the morning after many people had worked for free to haul chemicals, muriatic acid, chlorine, gasoline and propane out of the 100 degree heat of the garage, along with lots of guns and ammo,hauled out shitloads of possessions…….that morning he walked into the store and expected help with the boxes of groceries he’d ordered so he could head back to his other house.
    He was going to make his little daughter haul a pony keg of beer to the car and the store told him it was too heavy for her, he’d have to carry it. He looked at the cases of food and said he couldn’t carry them in one trip to the car, he needed help. They suggested he could do it if he made a few trips.
    It’s beautiful Karma. Back to basics.

    Okay, I have to ask an little favor of the 99% and the dear FDL community. Would you YouTube “Damon Vickers house burns”, we need the hits.
    Damon Vickers is a bad man and he lived amongst us for 2 months before he burned his mansion down.
    It’s apparently the only video of Glenn Beck’s BFF and incredible asshole Damon Vickers house burning because of a chimney fire.
    Except, there’s questions now about where the hell is the Steinway Grand piano. It appears to be missing.
    Thanks

    Not a problem, I’m cynical enough to automatically assume we’re dealing with a loose circuit biologically. Though I do wax nuture a bit. :)

    Thank you, Kevin. I’m going to come back with strong coffee and strong spirit to read all this tomorrow. It’s a lot.
    I love Black Bloc, they have a special place in my heart. But, they’re so vulnerable as to be used by a propaganda machine. And that, unfortunately, becomes the weak link.
    Anyone want some 99% humor? You can watch Glenn Beck’s BFF, New World Order Ponzi man burn down his house.
    He was a total dick in our community for the two long months he lived here. Speeding past people at 80mph who chased his ass down and threatened bodily harm if he EVER fucking did that again. He had the kind, never-say-a-bad-word-about-anybody church ladies cussing him out at a potluck. He needed a bizarre amount of fresh eggs every week and no one would sell them to him.
    Pay back’s a bitch, Damon Vickers. YouTube “Damon Vickers house burns”. With deepest appreciation we hope this goes modestly viral because he made anyone who worked on his short owned estate sign a non-disclosure threatening reprisals if they spoke his last name. Which is Vickers,Damon.
    Karma’s a bitch,also.

    I can’t imagine what it must be like for Trayvon’s mother. I’ve come to realize there’s a good chance that every person we look to as an established political leader is probably a sociopath with narcissistic tendencies. A broken system advances and admires broken people. I don’t know why it took me so long to [...]

    What a fun reading. Thank you, FDL.
    I have a bit of 99% humor I’m hoping will go viral in a modest degree. It is delicious Karma. Shit, this is where I have to admit I can’t link……YouTube “Damon Vickers house burns”.
    Man, are there stories within stories to that rogue Wall Street sociopath’s few months stay in our community!
    He was so driven for strong-armed secrecy that anyone working for him couldn’t reveal his last name.
    That didn’t work out as well as planned, did it, Damon Vickers?

    Fantastic! You’ll have an excellent time. Thank you so much for the energy you’ve given FDL. Here’s a little bit of 99% humor. Go to YouTube and type in “damon vickers house burns”. It’s still a work in progress, adding a soundtrack for fun and sending a disk of the original over to the sheriff’s [...]

    Yes, the good news is that the world is figuring it out on their own. 35,000 police protesting is a potential here.
    Unfortunately, it’s unwise to take that thought to far into it’s natural conclusion…..there’s a reason for union busting.
    Damn, I took that thought to far. sigh

    The one faith I have in our Electums is there’s no intention of letting bully boy near the throne. They’re evil, they’re not stupid. Well, actually, they’re not as smart as I gave them credit for before the curtain was ripped away. That was kind of disappointing.

    I’m voting for everyone from dog-catcher to Congress. Especially the judges, school, hospital critters. I’m not voting
    for Prez unless there’s a true 3rd party candidate I believe in willing to lose.
