Holiday Random Blogging

Oh boy, it’s plastic Jesus season. Come on, let’s go buy some shit.

I used to publish. Now I perish.

“Things line up to block the molecules of my imagination but I just add them to the frantic clutter.” – Ed Sanders

“All this is so stupid and senseless that it is quite impossible to understand what it all means.”  — Leo Tolstoy, from “Letter to a Non-Commissioned Officer”

My million-dollar weight loss plan (to be marketed in a store near you soon):

Eat Less. Shit More.

Um, that’ll be $50, please. Debit or credit?

Speaking of work, I’ll be giving sleigh rides in Stowe all week – beginning x-mas day. If you want to find me, just head up the Mountain Road and look to your left after about 4 or 5 miles. I’ll be sporting a decidedly Amish look for the occasion, hoping it’ll make the tourists think I’m something other than a disaffected writer/horse logger with a long record of being arrested in the offices of liberal lawmakers.

When the hell are they going to open a “Job Store”?

Just wondering.

Free Holiday Advice:

When in doubt, self-medicate until you’ve returned to a smug sense of doubtless bliss.

Repeat as necessary. See your physician first if you’re prone to dead ends, false starts and wrong turns. May cause others to stop returning your calls. Whatever.

This feels a whole lot like the time we thought would come to usher in the change that we knew was necessary. Too bad the liberals are still allowing the rightwing to control the language of the moment. Case in point: Budget cuts. Notice I didn’t say taxes? Because the Reagan 80’s live on in the moral sewer of convincing people that cutting services (and jobs) for those in need is more justified in tough times than asking for a little more from those with plenty.

And the worst part is that they’ve dressed their little evilness up in a cloak of political and economic hoo-ha, thereby fooling too many people away from seeing it all as the immoral judgment — and subsequent painful consequences — that it really is.

Frankly, it’s sick.

–

The modern state’s single-minded focus on cutting services and jobs in dire economic times is like running to the desert when it need of water.

–

Next year, I’m gonna make some nice.

–

Well, that and spring a new project on you all. Stay tuned.

But, until then, be warned: I’ll be busy driving horses through the holiday season so – surprise, surprise – posting will be sparse until January 5th.

Now, quick, find something to do with your plastic Jesus.
