My friend Pete fast-tracked to forever 8 years ago day after tomorrow. MS. I told him he was brave. He said "I'm not brave I just don't want to be like this anymore." "May the fifth be with you," are the last words I ever heard him speak, sitting there grinning in a tie-dyed Grateful Dead t-shirt.

The Alyth Bureau Chief sent me some cuttings as he is wont to do. This one was recently harvested (I think) from Ad Busters I suspect. I don't know who Kalle is, credit to them. I exercised artistic licence... cropped and slightly adjusted the white space and added the yin-yang.

Arrived late to the party, but stayed. I'm still there. I miss the smells, there was always star anise and stuff lingering in the broadloom from wokked hippie dishes. I miss the laid back, slow roll of time out of time. I miss the bangles and the cool threads. Rise up friends, return from wherever.

Eerie that this was written so long ago. Blaze come back from the dead to lampoon Reagan's reincarnated bloviating zombie-self.

In the song Ballad For A Soldier about Captain William Calley and his involvement in the 1968 massacre at My Lai, Leon Russell just said "Give up and win."

Who would have thought at the time that this choice bit o' mirth would be prophetic and disturbing so many years later? Cardboardy times, full of two-dimensional caricatures. History will look back on this one day and snot out its nose.

Just in from the Otterwa Bureau Chief, Pam's an old university chum of his. You'd think these geniuses who are so puffed and proud to find themselves controlling the "whole World" and being so "well-versed in all things" would make the connection between good health and production and trade, eh?

Recent radon levels in our living room are disturbing. The 7 day average right now is 159 Bq and today the daily reading shot up to 275. Anything above 150 Bq is considered to be a red alert. We called a guy but he never showed up. There's a hotspot from here all the way up to Grande Prairie.

Five years old. Three million views. Still stands up. Waaay up. Randy Rainbow is genius, and disturbingly prophetic. And prolly right at the top of Pam Bondi's hit list. Happy Dead Guy On A Stick Day.

Objective journalism doesn't seem to exist anymore in very many places south of The Medicine Line. The Guardian's edge has been blunted lately too I understand. Are things going to get better, or are they just gonna keep getting worse?
