At the red light he started to turn south toward the all-night café, but when he looked north to see if anyone was coming he turned that way instead. No one at all was coming but he saw his young friend Billy, headed out. He had his broom and was sweeping right down the middle of the highway into the gusting wind. Billy lived at the poolhall with Sam the Lion, and sweeping was all he really knew how to do.

Very Bad News For Tea Party - Good News For America!
PRINCETON, NJ -- Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, is 8.3% in mid-October -- down sharply from 8.7% at the end of September and 9.2% at the end of August. A year ago, Gallup's U.S. unemployment rate stood at 10.0%. While seasonal hiring patterns may explain some of this improvement, the drop suggests the government could report an October unemployment rate of less than 9.0%.

My Introduction at the Funeral
For you that may have missed the services I’d like to recount for you the introduction I received by the gracious wife of Gov. Rick Perry - Anita Perry.
"I have the pleasure today to introduce to you a man who single handedly challenged Einstein's theory of relativity and lived to tell about it; a certified card carrying member of the Flat Earth Society; a man who re-opened the Scopes Monkey trial on the basis of DNA research and a cartoon drawing found within the Dead Sea Scrolls. A man, who using only a dixie-cup and some string solved the famous conundrum: is the glass half empty or half full? And when asked by a stranger the time of day replied: "It's none of your goddamn business." Please put your hands together and help me welcome to the podium my dear good friend and colleague, and wannabe feather-weight champion of the world, richardporter."
Sitting Shivah by the iPhone
I’m sitting shivah by the phone after having lain to rest my beloved 56k Windows 95 computer.
In attendance at the internment were Atari 64, Computer Ping Pong, Betamax, and a Dixie-cup and some string.
My Toaster is so choked-up that for the past of couple of days has failed to launch my pop-tart.
In lieu of flowers I want to suggest the rending of a near-by Tea Partier.

The role of men in society
Men play a funny role in American society. But one fundemental role we should all agree upon is the looking after of women and children. I know that sounds old fashioned but call me old fashioned. With that said I want each person here to think about the beneficiaries of Obama's Jobs Plan.
1936 by Photographer Dorothea Lange
NEW YORK -- Occupy Wall Street is on the move ... uptown.
Why uptown? Because that's where the rich folks responsible for our economic crash live!
Organizers are planning a march on Tuesday that will visit the homes of JP Morgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) CEO Jamie Dimon, billionaire David Koch, hedge fund honcho John Paulson, Howard Milstein, and News Corp (NWSA, Fortune 500) CEO Rupert Murdoch.
The millionaires and billionaires are being targeted for what event organizers called a "willingness to hoard wealth at the expense of the 99%."
In the words of American Author James Baldwin, 'Baby, we're going to burn your mother-fucking houses down.'

My German Girlfriend
The reason Jim stayed with her and tolerated her was because when he was around her all he ever
thought about was sex. He'd spend inordinate amounts of time thinking of ways and situations which would lead to their having sex.
She wasn't very bright but was a fairly good passer at appearing some what educated, a good student. And after they'd dated a few months, she'd begun the practice of aping back to Jim the words and ideas she had picked up from their conversations. This both pleased and aggravated Jim at the same time. With her strange ways she seemed to him as if she were from another planet.
She was of either German or Austrian descent and very much looked the part of either race. Thick blond hair halfway down her back, but ususally worn pulled up tight atop her head, a bun, and causing a vein to bulge at her temple; blue eyes, but just a little too close together; healthy, but pale complexion, small breasts, good teeth, a swimmers build, and petite but with a fierce combativeness about her personality coupled with a very alluring seductiveness. Sometimes Jim felt as if he was dating a facimilie of his own Mother, or perhaps worse still, a Vampire.
And as their relationship did progress another side of her had begun to appear to Jim. It was the little things that gave her away, the white lies, the suspicious behavior, the constant ringing of her cellphone - her name and telephone number on the bathroom wall at their favorite watering hole. And these ominous signs had the cumulative effect of making Jim nervous and uneasy and so he bought a pistol. 'Just in case' he told himself. "You can't be too careful these days."
One night while Jim slept she did lift off his star of david from around his neck and re-fashion it into a crucifix using a ball peen hammer and a bic lighter. And then Jim knew: 'she was a welder.' But Jim didn't care because this only made him want her more.
On some nights Jim waited for the inevitable sound of jack boots on the stair well and the hard rapping at the door. By now he had begun the custom of sleeping with one eye open with his revolver nearby, especially when he slept over at her apartment. Something out of an Edgar Allen Poe novel no doubt. Perhaps even The Raven.
On Jim's birthday she did prepare for him his favorite dish: Chicken Himmler. And afterwards, a cake followed, with something written in German upon it: Arbeit Macht Frei. She presented him with a wallet, which to Jim appeared to be made of some strange material he wasn't familiar with. Everything about her was strange.
They drank a bottle of champagne and Jim told her how beautiful her legs were in her short shorts. He reached over and touched one and she batted his hand away laughing out loud. Jim secretly began plotting on how he was going to get her to remove the short shorts. They drank another bottle of champagne. And when she went to the restroom Jim did eventually mossy over to the couch to reflect and relax and remind 'one's self how very lucky one is'. Fer sure.
A switch had by now sounded off signaling to Jim that a certain portion of his brain had now shut down. A state of tupor set in, bordering on rigor mortis. A birthday party to remember he muttered to no one in particular and he thought to himself some more about any and everything and then just stared at the picture of Hitler hanging on the wall.
[note to author: could the above paragraph have been any more convoluted?]
And when there did come the sound of jack boots in stair well and a hard rapping on the door, and to no one's surprize, Jim did pass out upon the living room floor.

We represent people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. We have lost our jobs, houses, future, everything...while the fat cats on Wall Street get richer and drink their champagne.
WE ARE MADDER THAN HELL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Chris Christie to Join Weight Watchers! America sighs with relief!
Said Christie, "if that fat tart Snookie can do it then so can I."
Andrew Sullivan on Sarah Palin's Departure
"So she's bowing out. Call it cowardice; call it a rare example of sanity; call it a bizarre end to an even weirder game of hide and seek for the past few months. But the bottom line is: we can stop worrying about the threat she posed to this country. That is all I really cared about: the insane gamble with the world that John McCain foisted on us, with no vetting and no reason but desperation and cynicism. It is hard to describe the relief of this awful person finally going away."
Andrew/Sullivan
"Republicans: On the Side of Wall Street, Not Consumers"
This video sucks. The DNC sucks. They need to get producers who are insinc with the anti wall street protesters.
This video only appeals to a very small, if any, group of Americans.
Jon Huntsman wins left-wing straw poll OR Republicans we wish were Democrats
“I was raised a Mormon, Mary Kaye was raised Episcopalian, our kids have gone to Catholic school, I went to a Lutheran school growing up in Los Angeles. I have an adopted daughter from India who has a very distinct Hindu tradition, one that we would celebrate during Diwali. So you kind of bind all this together.”

What is a Conservative?
 |
| My Pic On plentyoffish.com |
Easy – conservatives tend to be polite, reasonable people with a genuine interest in honest debate and a quaint, quaint I say, belief in the efficacy of things like “facts” and “evidence” except when it comes to:
Climate Change
Where Obama was born
Reigning in Spending
Overt Racism
Obesity
Voter Intimidation
Workers rights
Income inequality
Populism
Alternative fuels
Protecting the middle class
Lifting up the masses
Latinos
Muslims
Blacks
DADT
Guns Rights
Protecting Forrests, Rivers, Oceans, and Wildlife
Christian Beliefs and Tenets
A Woman's right to choose
I have a feeling I could go on and on but then they have to come and put me away somewhere quite - with little light, and lots of tranquilizers, and chains about my ankles.
Remind me again about what they believe in.

Jim thought it always began the same way. Dogs began to bark, hounds began to hound, and the hunger returned with a vengance. The sun finally set as it very well should and now Jim can be found staring out his kitchen window pondering the meaning of life. The phone rings. Jim jumps.
"Who could it be now?"
"Hey Jim, we found your little red rooster."
"Thank God! There hasn't been any peace in my barnyard since my little red rooster's been gone."

Homosexuals Behaving Themselves!
When you realize that homosexuals once weren’t allowed to assemble legally or drink in public, some gratitude toward the pioneers who made sure we have a seat at the bar (and a place in the world) is in order. Long before ACT UP and the Human Rights Campaign—even before Stonewall—there was the Mattachine Society.
