Furibundum

I'm still alive, for whatever it's worth, so not to worry. Right now my time is totally consumed with trying to find a new (the cheaper the better) place to live, somewhere that will let me bring my quadrupedal family with. Not an easy task, let me tell you, but give me another few days. I think that's probably all the time I've left here anyway, give or take a handful. By the way, lesson learned in my apartment search: "pet-friendly" is more often than not a misnomer. Very selective about their friends, most property owners are, my pets apparently being not so selectable. Wish me luck.

It is common knowledge (some argue common sense) that I and similarly oriented sexual deviants are banned for life from ever darkening the doorways of our respective communities' blood banks. Fine by me. I don't care much for needles and don't enjoy being pricked anyway, so it grants me an easy out to ignore pleadings for donations when, for example, a "didn't see that coming!" tragedy strikes with the inevitable consequent unexpected run on the bank. Sorry, but if you happen to fall victim to the fated just-around-the-corner terrorist attack or some such calamity, don't look to me for a potentially lifesaving transfusion. Consider yourself a goner, bub. Probably for the best, what with my probable taintedness and all. No, I'm not going to lie, I'll admit to having had man sex since 1977. Totally missed that cutoff date . My bad. Have a nice afterlife. Getting real ... okay, fine. I totally understand the early '80s freaking out. Common thoug

Wreaking havoc upon your fellow man while loving and protecting Mother Earth ought not necessarily be mutually exclusive.

" No one owes obedience to a usurper government or to anyone who assumes public office in violation of the Constitution and the law. The civil population has the right to rise up in defense of the constitutional order. The acts of those who usurp public office are null and void ." - Constitution of Peru , Article 46. I do believe we have the same rising-up privileges here too, no? Props, though, to the Peruvian founding fathers for such succinctness. Straight to the point, and well said indeed. Rights are of no consequence, however, if unexercised. Don't know how it plays out in Peru, but despite our country's similarly documented rights for "the civil population to rise up in defense of the constitutional order," we as a people sure do have a history of resting on our collective laurels allowing the omnipotent powers that be to run amok. Why, I wonder, given the abomination that is BushCo, has there not been more outrage? More rising up? A calling out for t

" Could you imagine if Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those Art Museum stairs and said, 'Well, I guess that’s about far enough?' Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up ." What more fitting venue than Philadelphia, PA for Hillary to spout such rhetorical trope ? Still set on hanging tough, I see, notwithstanding the inevitable outcome. If memory serves, Rocky lost. The black dude won. Balboan doggedness or Quixotian fantasy ... either way, you have to give the lady props for keeping the blinders on. God bless her. Maybe she didn't see the movie , I don't know. Doesn't she have people, though, to check out such things? I'd reckon that there are some less-than-favorable performance evaluations forthcoming.
