No matter where I found myself during the past year, I was surrounded by blue milk. You know, the stuff with the butterfat sucked out of it, the tasteless, pleasure-free waste of time and effort. A cardiologist I know once observed that cows didn’t give low-fat milk. Everything in moderation, he said, [...]

It’s that kind of slow, sleepy, early Spring Friday, when you look around and realize you’ve done all that you need to do, that there’s nothing that demands your immediate attention, that you are completely at the mercy of whatever might move you in the next few minutes.
Or, if you take a nap, the next [...]

He was in so many movies I saw as a kid, it felt like I knew him. It was always a relief when he smiled, which wasn’t very often.
He was gorgeous. And talented. A real star.

Hey Killer,
The more you read about this stuff, the more we look like Keystone Cops.
Except that I think misinformation isn’t the result of bumbling, it was the result of intentional deception. And it’s cost 4,000 Americans and who knows how many Iraq’s their lives.
I don’t see how anybody could read [...]

I’m watching the old movie, “King Of Kings,” on TV. Not watching it, really, but it’s on and there are moments that I find myself standing there, watching and listening.
It is
SO
gay.
When we were young children, our parents very often took us to movies on Sunday afternoons. This was before there was [...]

Well, the obvious. It’s the end of the work week. But, if Christians are observing the time Christ allegedly hung on the cross, well, what’s so good about that? I daresay that he’d hardly find anything positive about such an occasion. Leave it to Christians, masters of self-delusion, to characterize an [...]

This speaks for itself, as does my Marine buddy, always:
Hey Killer,
I just got back from lunch and they had FF on CNN talking about Iraq. It made me want to puke. Talking about all the great accomplishments [...]

Happy Anniversary, Fuckface. Will you be doing your idiot dance today, celebrating your great victory in bringing democracy to the Middle East? Or will you go to Delaware, to the Air Force base where the dead soldiers’ bodies are delivered, flag-draped but invisible, the place where no one is allowed to take pictures? [...]

It hardly even makes the news anymore, except I heard today about a bombing, that two American soldiers were killed. It goes on, the economy in such bad shape, I would think that that was part of the Fuckface strategery – bankrupt the country so that no one notices what we’re doing in the [...]

I saw this commercial a while back, and I fell in love with the product. Who cares if it’s a Mac, something totally alien to me? Who cares if it probably costs a bundle? Who cares if my laptop is just fine, thank you, and I have no need for another?
This ain’t [...]

Its premise is very simple: get the politicians out of Congress. Since that’s how our country started, it’s a good idea, I think, if we were to go back to our origins. The Founding Fathers all had other jobs, other lives, and they did a pretty good job of starting up our [...]

My friend Blondie, down there in Florida, where he moved so that he could (someday in the far future, I hope) die warm, sent me two obscure tracks from an obscure Bob Dylan album called “Dylan” from a long time ago. Blondie sent me two songs, which I’m playing over and over: “Lily [...]

He’s passionate and articulate, and when I find something like this from him, I know he’s holding up nicely, in spite of the horror that’s overtaken our country. Where is the outrage, little boy? Indeed, that’s the question I keep asking myself. Are the citizens so broken that they can’t react, or [...]

Hell, he’s like every man I know, except he’s wealthier than most of them, and all Eliot Spitzer wanted was to get some. What’s the big deal?
This is what the FBI is doing? Busting prostitute businesses? Ah, good. The folks who completely blew 9/11 are busy trying to put away folks [...]

This was sent to me today by my friend Larry, who knows. Molly’s passed on, but what she left behind is as timely (and gutsy and brilliant) as it was when she so presciently wrote it:
I will not support Hillary Clinton for president

He is, however, quite morally fit to be a Republican.

They promised me a Saturday of thunderstorms, the lying bastards at The Weather Channel. How do they keep their jobs when they’re so wrong so much of the time? I wonder that about George Will, too, though. Weathermen and erstwhile pundits – they can screw it up all the time and never [...]

That’s a line from a great old Minnie Riperton song. Minnie died young, of cancer, but she had a voice that still rings in my head from time to time, and her daughter is a regular on SNL.
Anyway, that line is my new tag, since I’m back – this time, I’m really, really, truly, [...]
