What We Really Need

"... are fewer people who think there's one single thing that will solve all of our problems ..."

Lily Eskelsen, NEA President:

Gimme what we'll spend the next several years on a coupla fully-loaded Ford class aircraft carriers, and I'll turn every public school in this joint into a fucking palace.  Not by painting the walls and landscaping the parking lots, but by helping the people who struggle sometimes just to survive in the neighborhoods where those schools are. 

You can't fix the schools if you don't fix the neighborhoods.  And you can't fix the neighborhoods without giving people solid reasons to believe we're not gonna turn our backs on them and allow their kids to be mangled and pulverized by the cycle of poverty ignorance and crime. 

Oddly Not Godly

The Sedlec Ossuary located in the suburbs of the medieval town of Kutná Hora in Czech Republic is one of the most unusual chapels. Decorated with more than 40.000 human skeletons, the medieval gothic church is also known as the Church of Bones.

Not to be overly generalize-y, but you're not gonna convince me that most of this churchy shit isn't really just a death cult rebranded.

But Is It Poetry?

About Last Nite

SNL may finally be all the way back in the game.

Today's Wingnut

They don't come any slimier than Alex Jones.

And y'know, Alex - your obsessing about Rubio's obsessing about Trump (and other stuff too) seems to indicate a certain particularly obsessive thing that might say a helluva lot more about your pathology than anybody else's.

Jesus Schwartz, dude.  How is anybody supposed to keep up with any of this double flip with a full-twisting backward takeoff whatever the fuck?

Fuck that war.  And fuck all the other wars as well.  And fuck anybody who tries to tell me this is how humans oughta behave.

Syria is another in a long list of conflicts where nobody even knows how to tell the good guys from the bad guys. But no mater - this is not right. This is just never fucking right.

أنا آسف

Bad Lip Reading

It would appear Mr Poe has gone mainstream now, as it gets harder and harder to tell the parodies from the "real thing".  

A Ghost Of Fridays Past

Duck Before You Drown - a mix tape I did many moons ago.

Don't try to kid yourself - all of man's endeavor is in service of getting close with a lover.
