Running Out of Time
I turned it into a dream
And you went drifting into my mind
Things ain't the way that they seem
I turn you into a dream
And make it all go away

I won't be Voting for You, Mr. Osama. I'm Voting for Nixon
Cause you are one evil mother fucker.
And Nixon has this plan to end the war. No shit.
And, like what difference does it make anyway?
Another white man with the same power agenda.
Morning In America? The Nanny State Index says YES
The last time the economy was humming along on all cylinders, the country was gripped by an issue that struck adults as silly.
President Bill Clinton got a blow job from an intern. And, lied about it. This was front page news for weeks.
And the… Read full post »

Santorum Goes Bareback
Bareback is a slang term to describe acts of sexual penetration without the use of a condom.[1] The term comes from the equestrian term bareback, which refers to the practice of riding ahorse without a saddle. Barebacking… Read full post »
HBO's Luck: Delphi = Alydar
The new HBO series, Luck, is a detailed view of US Thoroughbread horse racing. The technical density of the series generated more than a few critical comments.

Senna - Netflix Streaming
In fact, available on Netflix ONLY in streaming mode.
Why?
1. Incredible story.
2. Global - not US centered. Yes, there is a whole world out there.
3. Something for everyone. Sports. For those interested, the guy is eye candy -- FWIW.

Miss You
Ravenswood Used Books at 4626 North Lincoln Ave
Nice neighborhood. Lincoln Square. The storefront is narrow - 20 feet, maybe. But there are a hell of a lot of books in that space.
And was written up in the Trib.
I talked to the owner. Someone asked about David Fo… Read full post »
Books Stores - The 57th Street - It's Just So Intelligent
It used to be the old Atomic Books in Baltimore. Their slogan, "Literary Finds for Mutated Minds" was closer to the truth than one might expect.
That was a long time ago. Atomic has changed, but still has a section of the beats.
Back in the day, there was only 1 lar… Read full post »

Girls With Glasses

He always liked them.
To some extent it was luck. Contacts were big, so the girls that wore glasses tended to be just a little different.
Cheerleaders didn't wear glasses. Not a one. But look at their moms and you knew their future. Maybe it was the midwest, but… Read full post »
Lie Back and Think of England
"I am happy now that George calls on my bedchamber less frequently than of old. As it is, I now endure but two calls a week, and when I hear his steps outside my door I lie down on my bed, close my eyes, open my legs, and think of England."… Read full post »
Modern Love
Sex after children? The normal kind, not the obligatory Holiday blow job. Get real. Not on this planet. Not in this life. Unless it is with another woman, and who has the time or energy for that?
Internet porn can be good. Very. But still just an image on a screen.… Read full post »
The US Economy
In 2008, world capital markets failed.
One central piece was the US banking system (which includes significant non bank lenders, including the GSE (highly regulated and accountable to the US Congress))
There is a playbook for banking failures:
