i can pee off my front porch.  top that, yuppies.

i just love to see the word 'gashland' in print.
not to mention 'forgotten homes'.  if ever there was a more apt description...

i took my sons to the ceremony, but they were unable to wait for every third rate politico in the city to get done tooting his or her own horn, so we didn't get to go in.  hopefully i'll make it back this week with my brother, who is a european historian (or as a european would say "an european...

yeah, santiago mostly.  but i bummed around quite a bit.

also, i'm still unclear:  does seattle have light rail?

i actually love the climate.  i lived in northwest spain for a year, and the climates are similiar.  with regards to turn-offs, they are almost exclusively subjective, enitrely irremediable, and would only lead to a contentious and pissy back and forth argument. so, perhaps it is better for me to sa...

seattle doesn't have light rail already?  i had no idea.  i've never been there, in part because portland and vancouver kind of turn me off and i presumed (perhaps foolishly) that seattle was kind of in line with the pacific northwest model of cities.  i guess i kind of thought seattle was the leade...

where is downtown raytown?  the only parts of raytown i've ever been through are those along 350.

i got a better idea - LESS LAWS.

other british ideas that at one time or another "certainly worked" with regards to keeping crime down:
1. monarchy
2. empiricism
3. starving the irish
4. fuedalism
5. shipping criminals to australia (success debatable)

not pretentious, but i find his work to be very spotty.  the good films are phenomenal, the worst altman movies are a little embarrasing. for instance, kansas city, which was redeemed only by the music.  and for the love of christ people, will some one besides me admit that short cuts was a fucking ...

chriz, the most obvious answer is that a cop can stop a crime, and protect an innocent bystander.  no one would agree to allow cops to just stand around watching crimes happen, so they could report crimes later. but as you know, the question is more fundamental than that.  allow me to give you the r...

so, is there anywhere anymore to buy NEW records?  do i have to drive to lawrence? 
(confession: despite an irresponsibly large collection of records...i have never bought a newly released record in my life)

i think people who shit on rural america should have to go a year of their lives without access to any food products produced in rural areas.
during that year, i will send them postcards of corn and steaks and bread.  and wine.

i have no mixed feeling about this.  blanket surveillance is wrong.

even if he is forgotten by everyone but film students and movies buffs,  i think his absence will be felt in the dwindling number of american movies that are worth two hours of anyones' life.

how very "funny", and "PoMo".

i'd never advocate buying a car exclusively made by one of the "big 3".  some domestic manufactures have outsourced much of the assembley and production of their models, an increasing number of hondas and toyotas are union made, in america.  i think the name of the global corporate entity ...

yes, chriz, we agree that all ideologues exist somewhere in a continuum of hypocrisy, myself included.  what i thought was more interesting than that irrefutable observation, was how that hypocrisy tends rear its head in different, but predictable patterns closely correlated to exterior cultural inf...

there are no boring places, just boring travelers.

a bit off topic, perhaps, but why is it that my fellow lefties fail to see how this same argument applies not only to food, but to ALL means of production?  socialism, even the attenuated variety of the american "left", is fundamentally unsustainable unless people buy locally.  i know a lo...
