“Sult, who didn’t expect to be alone – and outnumbered by the three visible security guards in the IRS parking lot, including a Homeland Security officer …”

Tyranny! A Homeland Security officer was there!? I blame Joe Lieberman.

Thanks

“Also…. I kind of called this:”

Fish in a barrel, man, fish in a barrel.

“The only people that didn’t consider him to be second rate were the True Believers.”

You may as well be talking about Creed or Kiss or Shrub.

Really, do you have a point?

“The powerful deserve to be mocked, ridiculed, and more importantly checked and held accountable.”

You won’t get that from a partisan shill like TBogg sihlkee either.

You undermine your own argument with comments like that. Seems to me Tbogg has a made a fairly compelling argument based on his view of the facts and history. If you don’t agree with his opinion, fine, make your own argument disputing it. But comments using terms like “partisan shill” doesn’t help you at all. In fact it simply reveals that you have no argument, no line of reasoning. Ah, but what do I know, I’m just drinking the bong water.

And to get back on topic…Tebow wasn’t always considered second rate:

I’m sure someday he’ll make a first rate U.S. Representative.

There is a pretty horrific story here in my neck of the woods where a high school kid was busted, put through the legal wringer and ended up committing suicide a few months later. So much for a little pot never hurt anyone. On the other hand, taking the “scared straight” route with my kid doesn’t seem right either.

Believe me, we’ve been having that talk for awhile now. But fucking up is part of the job description for teenage boy and as we all know, every now and then you do just have to say, “what the fuck.” I just don’t want him to get hurt…

Allow me to step through the virtual wall for a minute here…my 17 year old has recently discovered the joy of getting high and Dad is deeply conflicted over how to handle it given his own checkered past. It’s really quite a dilemma-be a hypocrite or pathetic grown-up trying to prove he’s still cool.

Umm, can you pass the Pernod, please?

Speaking of better regulars, PW’s bong water is among the finest.

“WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!11!11

Ahem, sorry…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!1!11!1

I just can’t help it. Some warning labels are just too good to be true.

I remember with much fondness the SF Pride Parades I attended in the mid-80s. Who was the grand marshal? Who the fuck knows? Who the fuck cares?

God, I miss Warren.

I think we can all agree it is shitty, though.

Ahhhhh, so much better for the blood pressure than telling Ohio Barbarian to go to hell.

“Establishment(forgive the 60′s term) journalists who like to treat both sides of the ongoing fascist debates within the ruling oligarchy with “equal time” and who routinely ignore what We The People really care about.”

Nice one, OB, you’ve got the jargon down. I loved how you speak for We The People (in caps no less, nice touch and so original). You simply must sign me up for your newletter.

That would be “love your peaches, wanna shake your tree.”

Anyway, I’m a sucker for:

“I’m up in T.O.
keeping jive alive
And out on the corner
it’s half past five
The subways are empty,
and so are the cafes
Here in the farmer’s market,
I can still hear ‘em say,

You’re all just pissin’ in the wind
You don’t know it, but you are”

Miller shoulda’ been Public Enemy Number One after he sang these lyrics:

“They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That’s where they ran into a great big hassle”

From “squeeze your peaches” to that?!

Ha! The cicadas will be here any day now.
