AGAINST ELEGIES

James has cancer. Catherine has cancer. Melvin has AIDS. Whom will I call, and get no answer? My old friends, my new friends who are old, or older, sixty, seventy, take pills before or after dinner. Arthritis scourges them. But irremediable night is farther away from them; they seem to hold it at [...]

2010 Ride #2

View Ascent activity on 30-Jan-10 at 02:01PM in a larger map

Ride #2 for the year, and it’s obvious that whatever fitness I gained on my trip to Arizona over Christmas is now gone. With an AvgHR over 160, peaking out at 179, I was definitely struggling on anything even remotely resembling a climb … [...]

Sarah Palin associates with terrorists!

The Palins’ un-American activities | Salon

Oct. 7, 2008 | “My government is my worst enemy. I’m going to fight them with any means at hand.”

This was former revolutionary terrorist Bill Ayers back in his old Weather Underground days, right? Imagine what Sarah Palin is going to do with this incendiary quote as she [...]

Whiskey?

I am a big fan of David Liss‘s work, especially A Conspiracy of Paper, a historical mystery set during the the world’s first stock market crash, which will give some insight into what happened nearly 300 years ago, wrapped up in a story of pugilism and prostitution.

And then, once you’ve finished A Conspiracy of [...]

Video Poetry (Patriotic Edition)

Yeah, sure, this song may technically be about about the fight for Irish freedom, fighting against an oppressive British regime, but the sentiment is valid in every nation being oppressed by its government, including our own.

For if anyone believes that the citizens of the United States are truly free anymore, they are seriously [...]

Revolutionary Thursday

It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand Go down in battle shock; Its shafts are laid on sinking sand, Not on abiding rock.

Is it the sword? Ask the red [...]

A Monday semi-commute

MotionBased Digest

Planned to commute in by bike this morning, but was running late for riding … but early for driving. So, I drove part way, over to Revolution on 7th East, and rode the rest of the way. Went just enough out of my way to get in about 5.25 miles this morning, [...]

Video Poetry (Non-Blonde edition)

Two songs, as relevant in 2008 as they were in 1992 (when the album came out), if not earlier, when I’d see 4 Non Blondes playing at the I-Beam in the Haight.

4 NON BLONDES – DEAR MR. PRESIDENT

I’m looking outside of my windows The view that I see Is a child and [...]

Waiting …

BILLY BRAGG – WAITING FOR THE GREAT LEAP FORWARDS

It may have been Camelot for Jack and Jacqueline But on the Hugo Chavez highway filling up with gasoline Little Donald Rumsfeld spies a rich lady who’s crying Over luxury’s disappointment So he walks over and he’s trying To sympathise with her but he thinks [...]
