Another moment of unabashed pragmatism
I was just about to fetch David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas from the study when I realized I was practically sitting on the remote. So I decided to plow through a sixer of Guinness and watch a few episodes of “Freaks and Geeks,” instead. No regrets so far, I’m happy to say.

It’s not how I talk to people, and it’s not how I expect the people who work for me to talk to people. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that kind
Congratulations! [Dan Collins]
I want personally to congratulate the stupid cunt hosebags for holding on to their jobs. I think it speaks well of John Edwards that when he commits to wackjob blowhard dumbfucks he sticks with them.

Last week, the wife and I spent five days in an alternate universe. We attended the fifth annual Feat Fan Excursion, or as Paul Barrere, the gifted guitar player for Little Feat calls it, “Feat Camp.” It was in the spectacular setting of Negril, on the western end of the island of Jamaica.
