I would have to say that 50% of my tragic romanticizing of alcoholism came from Jimmy Stewart’s performance in Harvey. I first watched it as a child, and each successive viewing seemed to confirm it in my mind: When I grew up, I wanted to be an alcoholic. The other half of my tragic romanticizing of alcohol is pretty much because of how much I love alcohol.
I think you’re on to something here. My mom loved this movie and I watched it probably a dozen times growing up. I don’t think I wanted to be an alkie then, but I now like to think of myself as an Elwood Dowd kind of drunk. Elegantly wasted, glass of bourbon in my hand, everybody laughing at my jokes.

Senator James Inhofe has revealed that Henry Paulson was behind the threats of martial law and a new great depression prior to the passage of the bailout bill, having made such warnings during a conference call on September 19th, around two weeks before the legislation was eventually approved by both the Senate and Congress. (via Alex Jones’ Infowars: There’s a war on for your mind!
)
there is a brief radio clip at the bottom of this post worth listening to outlining the fear instilled by Mr. Paulson to obtain this money, then showing how the pretenses behind using the blank check were abandoned as soon as he had power of the purse.
The abuse of this money is repulsive and repugnant only trumped by the lack of outrage from citizens who should be DEMANDING TRANSPARENT, crystal motherfucking clear, oversight that is not there.
my thoughts exactly. where is the outrage? where is the anger? where are the protests ? where are the riots? what it is going to take for people in this country to realize what is being done to them? does it come down to them losing their flat screen tvs, video games, taco bell/mcdonalds/pizza hut, football/baseball/basketball, malls, designer bags, beer, bars, mindless tv shows? if they lose all that keeps them numb, from asking questions and thinking, will they finally take to the streets?
I have a cache of empty liquor bottles, rags, and diesel. just sayin…

Yahoo’s Dr. Saturday gives us a 2001 parody about Pitt’s “Rivalry Game” this weekend with Cincinnati. Not to be confused with tonight’s football parody: Steelers vs. Convicts
For real. Let us contemplate this. Here are four questions to make your brain hurt.
This reminds me of the following from the introduction of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, which could serve as one of those very useful rules on good writing: “What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.”
I’m embarrassed being caught unaware that it’s already the third Thursday of November; this year’s theme - “Power and Rights.” Despite seeming ridiculous on the face, going through each question and articulating positions can be wonderfully, constructively frustrating.
anyone else find it funny that World Philosophy Day is the day after World Toilet Day?
Fuck yins guys, seriously. Harassing Colby Armstrong?
I lost much respek for the Penguins tonight.
He took them all out to dinner last night. It was all in good fun.
