I respect the Peter Gallagher performance deep cut and I agree with you. Still, in this really, really shitty time we need people with actual power to be fighters even if their motives are not completely pure.

I love that our female cat was named Spike by our son- sort of reminsicent of the Elvis Costello album and face pain design of the same name. Spike is my constant pal and I love her so.

I randomly watched the pilot episode for "Silicon Valley" the other day and the seeds of all the bullshit we have to deal with now were there, but seemingly benign and mere comic exaggerations. Just like "Idiocracy." Mike Judge knows shit, man. I wish it weren't...*this.*

"Great decision?" I think the Suns bungled their franchise continually and paid premium prices for scrubs and a 12 seed without club control over their own drafts for the foreseeable future.

I am so disheartened by what is happening in much of the world right now. I would like my pessimism to not take over my entire consciousness, if that makes any sense. Here is a rad song I just came across again tonight that is worth sharing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU2A...

You are complaining about people not following their self interest. You think *moral suasion* is the deciding factor in politics? In the Revolution? Hell no. Change usually comes from pain, not political parties.
