Making foul-tasting lemonade out of the unavoidable radishes and turnips forced upon us all by our democracy. Politics ingested, digested, and expelled in one seamless unfurling motion.

I never wanted to be a prizefighter. No aspirations…whatsoever.
But I should have known there would be no other course for me, but to be forced into that live-bait role…walking less than a block from my apartment on my way to the Laundr-O-Mat. Its just common sense…
“You gotta keep your head up!”
I spit out a spiraling wad of flem and gauze, blood and tissue, “Yeah…thanks Mickey…Mickey? Mickey, you…when did you become an elderly black lady?”
What the fuck…(spitting more blood)…what the fuck happened!? Where the fuck am I?!
Out of a second flash of what was a stronger haze, my mind and its eye are able to grasp the form of two kids running down the street. Two kids….two kids…

Can we handle another “Super” thing this soon? Will it mean anything more than the game Sunday? Who’s running? Where is my toe? DEAR GOD, WHERE IS MY TOE!?

From what I’ve followed of Barack Obama, he seems like a terribly nice guy. This is his key strength, his charisma, but it does seem a little more than that. I can’t help but have a great respect for someone if they evidence that they truly, truly believe in what they are talking about…that they bring real passion for their “cause”.
This is true even if I don’t agree with anything they believe in. For example, Pat Buchanan. GOD DAMN PAT BUCHANAN! He says the absolute craziest shit, but he hasn’t toed the party line, going against the grain of recent administrations and exiling himself to the Reform Party and god knows where exactly he is in space and time today. The man can actually make a salient point, now and then, but not without following it with a [...]
