So here I was, having a good time, drinking and cursing heavily… or was that drinking heavily and cursing… or was that… well never mind I was just out having a good time, touring the Ihub universe with my 15 postings of free fame and I had taken to stopping by this little turnip patch, ostensibly run by an elderly member of my own tribe mind you, to tear some sh*t up and shoot the breeze with the good local folks and also to f#ck with the usual assortment of mouth breathers, goat shtuppers, wannabes and 3-tooth neocon-worshipping wonders that tend to populate places like that… Anyway to make a long story short, I ended up running over this old guy’s sacred cow. And I’ll admit, it wasn’t the first time. I’ve done it before.. It’s how I am. (I mean, look at my patent disrespect for the rules of punctuation, never mind decorum.. don’t get me started ) Even that wouldn’t have been so bad, except this little adrogyne that hangs out there.. (and I’m sure that bitch will be around soon if he/she isn’t already , I didn’t check,) goes flying to get the old guy, shrieking about the running down of said cow… and oy veh, it vas a f#ckin’ mess.
Let me explain something. I’m a middle aged Jewish guy; you can tell because of the way I talk real loud and with my hands… well maybe you can’t tell that way. I mean everyone types with their hands (and real loud sometimes too); that’s no real distinction. But I am. I swear it, and I’ll tell you something else too…. There are no sacred cows. The experience of the ages tells us that. And the old man should have enough wisdom and / or class at this point in his life to understand that. I mean, Zaydie, c’mon. What kinda schmuck you gotta be to take the side of some shikkert that wouldn’t let you in his f#ckin’ neighborhood, let alone his country club, and dump on an actual MOT???
So anyway.. as many of you know, I’m no longer allowed to play in the turnip patch. But I’m not bitter. Sometimes a little support or a couple words from a friend helps. Thank-you Steph, ….and Seabass, and TLC and IX , Peg… Webster and others and even some strangers from what I hear… and if I missed you I still love you. I haven’t done all my reading, I confess, but I got a general feel. And all my best to the old guy as well.. I hope his cow recovers. I hope he sees that the problem is that the cow is actually his master, not the other way around. I hope that the scales may fall from his eyes, and that he may see the righteousness that can be found in self-examination, even in a painful examination of long-cherished beliefs. I came to that some years ago. And I hope he gets some of those lice out of his gatchkees too. And you guys know who you are… eddy, brainless,hap, extel etc…
The sun was out this weekend. Trower said, “The same rain that falls on me falls on you.” or something like that. Likewise the sun though. It’s just that many don’t get it.
Consider:
Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.

There are choices.
