Get A Living Will Now
That's all I'm going to saw on the subject, other than "Wonder what it costs to call an emergency/special session of congress?"

You And Your Honey Got $89,000 Lying Around?
Hurry, and you might still be able to make The Govenator's fund raiser tonight in Century City.

Sorry, I can't provide a link to either local news broadcast I saw this story on, too much Peterson/Blake action on line.

Woohoo...$56 a barrel of crude(I'm watching the news). I sure hope they keep the drunks off the tankers, or ANWR's gonna be a mess.

Tonight's special... Snake Oil Cocktail.

I though maybe I'd misheard and moved a decimal point, but no... $89,000 is correct. Funny it took me hours to find that figure in print, funny.

Good-Bye Lazarus
Mood:  blue
Lazaurs Department Stores are now officially Macy's.

So many memories.

Opening for St. Patrick...
Funny that the "party saint days" occur in the middle of lent.

March 16 is St. Urho's Day. Don't forget to wear green and purple.

March 16 is also the feast day of St.Finian, a man not a flashy as Patrick, but well worth remembering for his deeds.

Specials are:
Tipperary Cocktails &
Grasshoppers
(is it crude to have a
Virgin Mary for the virgin cocktail?)

I Guess This Is Why Barbie Doesn't Have Nipples
Who knew nipples were such a threat. All mammals have them, male and female.

I worked at a movie studio in the mid-nineties that had the nipples on a statue digitally removed for a TV commercial. That's the MPAA for ya. But now, what the hell's wrong with PBS(& some of their affiliates)? No wonder I haven't seen Sister Wendy lately. What will the FCC do about her description of "fluffy pubic hair" in a painting?

I don't have cable. I don't want to pay for cable. I WANT MY FREE TV(which I do pay for)... with nipples on classical sculptures damnit!

Rant over.

The U.S. Givith, The U.S. Taketh Away Sovereignty?
Could it be "we're" oversteping?
(Story at www.cbc.ca from Feb. 25,2005)

Is the administration pissed that Canada has Queen Elizabeth II on their money? Do they have a problem with Parliamentary governments? So much for mending fences.

Time to take a break from the serious & watch the Oscar preshow.

The Weakest Link
Now Playing: Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools"
I have to apologize, any links to Yahoo articles I've posted in the past no longer work. CRAP!

If You Remember The 60s...
Bla, bla, bla. I remember half of the 60s, which is pretty good considering I was in utero a good chunk of 1963.

I don't remember as much as this Little Peanut, and I don't know if that's a good, or a bad thing. I remember Apollo launches, Mr. Rogers going national, Flower Power, and two of the four political assassinations of that decade. What the Hell was wrong with us?

Two brothers, and two brothers in arms.

Where are our leaders today? I am not a leader, but a movement full of leaders seems unable to progress in a single direction. I am a follower, a supporter. I can be a cheerleader, an organizer. I am waiting for a leader, and I am not easily fooled by pretenders.

The freekin' Age of Aquarius doesn't really start for another 595 years. Will the Year of the Rooster wake "us" up from the drooling sleep of the Year of the Monkey?

In remembrance:

"America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable."
Hunter S. Thompson

"You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or who says it."
Malcom X

Happy Presidents' Day.

(looped) Help Us Howard Dean, You're Our Only Hope...
Has anyone else started hearing "Darth Vader's theme" in their head when watching any member of the Bush administration on TV?

If John McCain can turn the Republicans from the neocon dark side, we might make it to 2008 without sight of the four horsemen.

And if Dean will work with Johnny Reid Edwards(he should use his birth name)and Barack Obama, together they can defeat the empire, "Return of the Liberal"!

I've read that repeated visualization can achieve miraculous results. If blowing up the Death Star(cancerous tumor) works, let's take it to the next level. The power of positive thinking, plus a lot of action. Time to fight the good fight people.

Not to push any one company(not like they need any help), we will be bringing in Starbucks' CHANTICOs for Soggy Sunday Afternoon High Tea today. Drinkable chocolate indeed.
