I lived in L.A. Oh sure, there were thai sticks, but they were very rare and prolly not authentic. Mexican and Colombian were all I seemed to be able to find. In poor, lonely L.A. Poor stupid kid I was, I guess.

Sometimes, once in awhile I get the thought that maybe I should buy a gun.

Just a teeny little gun. Hardly more than a cap pistol. Something to point at the wall and go "pew, pew, pew". Something to hold while I do my best impression of Travis Bickel form the movie Taxi Driver. Then I realize that the cap pistol isn't going to cut it. No I think a slightly larger gun is needed. Maybe something that looks like that gun Travis had in that movie. Oh man that sounds better. And the visual stimulus of that hard, blue steel cannon starts something in my brain. It's OBVIOUS that Martin Scorsese dint know shit when he made this movie. That gun needed to be bigger! A LOT bigger. Yeah man, now we're talking some good talk! Yeah A bigger gun would have made that movie a bigger box office smash! Scorsese coulda won Best Picture! But FUCK NO! He crapped his pants, got all political correct and started muff diving on Susan Sarandon when he shoulda been filling that movie with more guns. Come to think of it would it have killed Martin to pass on DeNero and get a real man like Arnold or Sylvester to do that role?

And then I realize that I have my credit cards lined up on the computer table and my browser history is filled with on-line advice on buying BIG Guns!

Fuck it! I'm gonna chant my mantra at my shrine to Crom/Cthulhu/Lewis Black, put the credit cards away and go over to the online music store and scrounge up some new tunes!

And go one more day without buying a gun.

That's quite easy to do when Republicans are handing out contracts.

Well, I believe they are only offering one year of free credit monitoring. How much do you want to bet that their system will be set up so that, after one year, you'll have to opt-out and getting out of the enrollment will be impossible?

What they should be doing is issuing new social security numbers to everyone affected, and charging Equifax for the costs.

I keep calling him Nostradumbass just for that reason.

In 1960, Cuba issued new 10 and 20 peso notes. As President of the Cuban National Bank, Che Guevara was to sign them. He dismissively scribbled "che," and that's the signature that was printed. He did it to show his contempt for currency and the people who trafficked in it. The New Man didn't need money, and he damned sure didn't need the monied.

The New New Man doesn't need oversight, regulations, or your fucking permission, peasant. They're telling us just as clearly as Che told the Cuban bourgeoisie.
