Other kids&amp;rsquo; parents were famous but I was The Rich Kid. &amp;nbsp;WE had  the apartment in New York. &amp;nbsp;I had the famous decorator bedroom. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My  mom&amp;rsquo;s Ladies&amp;rsquo; Charity shows were Frank Sinatra, Johnny Carson, Dean  Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., on and on, &amp;lsquo;Western&amp;rsquo; themed, with lots of  whee-ha. &amp;nbsp;I saw Richard Pryor yell FUCK YOU at one as his ACT until he  was shoved off, then Isaac Hayes sang &amp;ldquo;Shaft&amp;rdquo; in chains. &amp;nbsp;My dad&amp;rsquo;s new  &amp;lsquo;64 Bentley had chinchilla rugs and my mom had a jaguar coat. &amp;nbsp;Got a pic  of me with LBJ. &amp;nbsp;We had black, uniformed servants but our English  domestics had The Portuguese working for them at our house on Wilton  Crescent in The Big Smoke.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My Failure To Thrive with such  blessings was conspicuous - and in the only bad way. &amp;nbsp;My mind was too  slow to grasp that the Theory of Relativity began with mores, which move  like greased lightening.&amp;nbsp; Fuck, I&amp;rsquo;m a fixed sign.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My brother, who is non-handicapped &amp;ndash; hustla - lokez scene b &lt;em&gt;ill&lt;/em&gt;. &amp;nbsp;More than one person has &amp;lsquo;joked&amp;rsquo; that if I don&amp;rsquo;t shut up he&amp;rsquo;s going to pop me. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I  had my &amp;lsquo;twenties after my masterpiece, who I raised myself, left for  (ahem) Yale. &amp;nbsp;My real &amp;lsquo;twenties blew due to rigorous wifedom and a  screenwriting career. &amp;nbsp;I got the PARTY! gist quickly and sustained no  wounds that aren&amp;rsquo;t useful. &amp;nbsp;It turned out okay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Books&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE SPARKY SHOW&lt;/strong&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Published by Weaponized in September 2010.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;www.weaponized.net &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Meta-physics   and mechanics in the nude, with sex and drugs. An exploding dossier of   words and photography of a doomed and perfect relationship,  retrofitted  with psilocybin. Love is a gun. Shove it up the crack of  the Multiverse,  demand what you want.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xandu Xero is unable to understand the desire of the female species for romance over sensation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A report from the trenches of love post culture, mid-life. Not your average empty-nest Beverly Hills Mom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;There is no moving on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sites&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://xanaduxero.blogspot.com/"&gt;xanaduxero.blogspot.com&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://xanaduxero.tumblr.com/"&gt;xanaduxero.tumblr.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It was prodigiously similar to the pic of Rush sucking the swisher on your left.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Oddly, Brando and Limbaugh share some remarkable traits. Both men had/have a flair for publicity, and trouble with chicks. Both worship(ped) their demons, and both did/do some twisted shizz to make a buck...&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Milorad Blagojevich, (or Blagojevi&amp;Auml;&amp;Dagger;) an Orthodox Serb, grew up in Chicago, unlucky. Well, unlucky for a white boy with snazzy aspirations. His parents were FOB, poor laborers, not just from the 'wrong' part of Europe, but the 'wrong' part of Yugoslavia.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shrewd young 'Rod', however, reforged himself as a gold-standard American, bulldozing speed-of-light past immigrant parents, tech school and Golden Gloves boxing, alllll the way to posh puss Malibu, where he went to (cough) law school.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Back in Chicago he charmed, then married a Big Macher's daughter (In &lt;span style="font-style: italic"&gt;Chicago&lt;/span&gt;.  Let's see &lt;span style="font-style: italic"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt; do it) and became a &lt;span style="font-style: italic"&gt;*Player*&lt;/span&gt; in the sparkling, once alien world he turned into (bongo roll:) &lt;span style="font-style: italic"&gt;his&lt;/span&gt; world.    It's a Frank Sinatra movie.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then Rod fucked up the sequel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Continued at: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.xanaduxero.blogspot.com &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
