Hurricane Dean (for James Dean, Dean Stockwell, Dean Moriarty?*)didn’t hit any major population centers or wreck a city, and blew out leaving comparatively few deaths and less than total devastation. It was, though, at one point in its evolution, a monster Category Five, more powerful that Katrina, and also a week earlier in the season. For facts and figures check Chris Mooney in yesterday’s HuffPo, who makes the case that Dean may not be a symptom of a disintegrating global weather system, but it sure as hell could be.

In this week’s edition of LA CityBeat, I make a stunningly plausible case for how another fourteen some months of this no-limit, no-quarter, no-prisoners presidential electioneering may reduce us all to drooling mental cases
couldn't agree more with your LA CityBeat piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm soooo glad I don't live there.
extended election period means more money spent ridiculously and even more bullshit flowing through the airwaves. It will exhaust the electorate to death. Boy, does the democratic party know how to shoot his own foot or What?
It could be so easy..
Shit! I almost sound like I actually have any hope on those scumsuckers...
sigh!

ps: just recently saw the Spike Lee documentary about Katrina and the governamental "response" to New Orleans... jeezus. Wasn't that enough to impeach those evil fucks to extinction??
like Massive Attack pointed out in the beginning of the decade: "Inertia Creeps"
The man has a point. Why aren't we impeaching these evil fucks to extinction?
ReplyDeleteDo you really want me to answer that question?
