A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Kinda tired of people being shocked at Trump’s behavior. When was his behavior ever acceptable? 1+ year into this mess and I honestly think he’ll get re-elected in 2020 at this rate. Maybe a more “reasonable” Republican will come in and take over; I mean George W. Bush has a high approval rating nowadays, right? And all of the stupid witty tote bags and t-shirts in the world will not change that. Anyway, I LIKE THIS SHOW!!! |

I see Trump as an outsider who is challenging a rigged system.The Republican Party per se is for the most part a waste of space. They left me, I didn't leave them. They are sellouts and whores. That is my opinion. However, I think Barack Obama did 2 things right: 1. He opened talks with Cuba. That should have happened like 40 years ago. 2. He extended unemployment insurance in 2009-2010 when I was out of work a year. THAT being said I will always be aligned with Trump. I think he is doing a good job, from my perspective. From most of your points of view you probably think I am an uneducated redneck. Actually, I am an educated redneck. There are a LOT of people who voted for Trump who are keeping it quiet for fear of reprisals. |

Cutest dog ever! A mix between a Dachshund and a Yorkie. Like a tiny, furry long Chewbacca. Found out the dog is a rescue dog. It an it’s 7 siblings were found in a basement in the Lower East Side. They just all lived in that dank basement. But because of that she is sensitive to sounds from the front door… Also scare of stray cats since they bullied the dogs in the basement.

Larry Grogan played some Masekela last night. I pre-ordered the Hollie Cook late last year. A wine dealer in my neighborhood has a cool Television poster hanging in his store. Chatting about the band, he intimated that Lloyd had perhaps died. When I returned to the store, I corrected the matter. | |

Agreed, green tea is better. But green teas vary wildly in taste, quality, and caffeine levels. For teabags, I recommend Trader Joe's, or in a pinch, Salada. Many of the others are vile, or taste like nothing, or worst of all, taste *fishy*. For loose leaf, Ten Ren. |

A woman goes into a tattoo parlor, and asks for a tattoo of Nick Cave on one inner thigh, and Iggy Pop on the other. After it's done, she's displeased with the likenesses and complains bitterly. The tattoo artist, indignantly, tells her "look lady! Go outside and show the first person my work, and they'll immediately recognize their faces!" She hautily complies, going outside into the late night pavement. She sees a teetering skid row bum, stops him and proceeds to hike her skirt to show off her new tattoos. The drunk reels a bit, covers one eye for focus, and says "I don't know who the two guys on your legs are, but that rotten sonofabitch in the middle is Mark E. Smith of The Fall!" |
