The Persistence of Memory (or Not)

Saturday, May 21st, 2005

I’ve been under the weather all day. Ergo, a few words about…the weather. I lived in Los Angeles for 22 years. Each of those 22 years had a rainy season, beginning in about November and ending in the spring. The first rain of the season always loosens a thin layer of dust and oil that […]

I…dunno. Maybe it’s just my eyes, but I swear it looks more like it says “DG”.

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

A basic truth of American politics: When any debate has been reduced to words of one syllable, the Republcans have already won it. The latest example: The battle over our Proxident’s judicial appointments, an argument which the Republican stupefaction machine has successfully reduced to the phrase, “Up-or-down vote.” There have been distortions on both sides […]
