misanthropy killer
Grandkids Killed the Misanthrope
It’s difficult to remain a misanthrope when you’re daughter’s become Vanna White and your grandchildren have transformered (?) to lizards and kittens, all at a solar powered music concert. You can read all about it at Mom-A-Tron.
I READ THE NEWS TODAY, OH BOY!
Fat girls and flat girls all complain about how boys are so unfair not to see the real beauty inside. Yeah, uh huh. Maybe those girls should consider a bald guy, about five times less likely than a guy with a full head of hair to get the girl, according to this less than scientific information.
The solar powered concert my Tucson family went to was all about the U.S. having 5% of the world’s population but using about 50% of the world’s energy. Well, how about this? Same 5% of the population and we have 25% of the world’s prisoners, the largest prison population in the world. Is it because Americans are the most evil people in the world? NO! It’s because we have a so-called war on drugs. And, because we’re just a tiny bit racist, even though we have a mixed race president. Wha? Yeah. Seems that across the races, about 14% of the population have or do use drugs and it’s the same for blacks as all others. However, blacks comprise nearly 30% of the arrests, 60% of the convictions and 80% of those that go to prison. That’s something that would make Arsenio Hall go “hmmmmmmm”.

I suppose I should mention that this weekend will be “First Friday” gallery walk on Paseo, but what has my knickers in a twist is that it’s the Redbud Classic. Oh La! A charity event! Feelgoodwarmfuzzy! AAARRRRGGGHHHH! My main travel street, 63d, will be closed on Saturday and I won’t be able to get within a mile of Evil Empire Starbucks nor Saturn Grille nor Chicas. Oh, well, you may say, there are other places. And, right you’d be. There’d be… say … the Red Cup. OOOPS! The damn race goes down Classen and you can’t get there from here without being able to drive a mobius band. A four-door, two toned mobius band. An acoustic Mobius Band.
Just an innocent question, but am I the only one who thinks that Bernie Madoff’s perp walk and Roger Wagoner’s firing at GM just isn’t quite enough to quell my populist fervor for lopping off heads? I’m hoping that a court in Spain actually does indict John Yoo and Addington and Bush and Cheney for war crimes — nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! The Spanish judge that convicted Pinochet of crimes against humanity is considering taking the case.
The only solace I find in those freaking runs that block traffic for the few people who want to ruin their joints and develop atrial fibrillation is the rather surreal landscape that ensues. I was at the Red Cup the last time Classen was used for pedestrians. The OCD people were running down the street and all the neurotic depressives, bipolars, schizophrenics and the seriously hung over were watching from the parking lot. Fellini’s got nothin’ on us. The last time I went to the Red Bud Classic some 25 years ago a running man threw up in my shoes at the finish line, and I had them on.
The AZ Legislature, who has taken to calling public schools “government schools” and threatens to refuse stimulus money, has done major budget cutting to education and leaving prisons largely untouched. Which do you think has the stronger lobby? Public schools or private prisons? Go, go. Go Arpaio!
