This label Yik Yak out of San Francisco puts out a lot of weird stuff. This reissue of Robert Martin's LP circa 1985 is a real trip.
Julian Cope: "Coming on like distant and highly-evocative psychedelic easy-listening relative of Michael Hurley's solo albums, Martin's vocals are like some uncanny soprano Scott Walker singing Osama Tim Hardin's The Black Sheep Boy while his shadowy grey familiar contributes Sterling Morrison cyclical guitar licks and buddies up on backing harmonies. Despite the abyss between what Robert Martin hears in his head and what he's able bring to us with his extremely limited arsenal of recording equipment, the performance and content of these songs is such that it's still easy to reach Martin's ecstatically despondent pleasure centres. Strangest of all, when the record ends, the hole left in your living environment is more than just sonic; it's psychically vast."
I'm quite sure I can't do better than Cope. But there is a lot of magic on this record. Like so many unheard records, it evokes the best of "popular" artists, without a whiff of their (or their producer's) distasteful egos.

Dear Rick,
I am sure that you have noticed the fuss that is being made over my invitation to make you the invocation speaker at my inauguration. Therefore, I am sure that you will agree with me that it would be better for both of us if you were to withdraw your acceptance of my invitation. You are as good with words as I am; I am sure that you can think of something to say that will smooth things over.
By the way, I have decided that in the interest of representing a wide variety of viewpoints, I have asked the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, Gene Robinson, to give the invocation. I am sure that you will understand.
I'm with Atrios. Let's haul the rich away in chains.

There's no need to string up rich people on telephone poles. But if some small fraction of their wealth (25%?) were re-transferred back to the lesser folks from whom it was taken over the past twenty-five years or so, we might actually avoid the sort of awfulness of the French Revolution.

About ready for bed again. This has been a strange day here: lots and lots of snow. I am calculating about seventeen inches on the level with larger drifts.
The city, in an effort to save money (apparently) has decided that plowing the roads is a waste of money.
That is OK except it makes it difficult to get around. Mrs DWD had the hockey van with its two foot clearance and was all right. The people driving small cars were SOL.

"I ate out my mom's pussy on her deathbed while listening to the first Coldplay album."
The sponsors of Proposition 8 argued for the first time Friday that the court should undo the marriages of the estimated 18,000 same-sex couples who exchanged vows before voters banned gay marriage at the ballot box last month.
The Yes on 8 campaign filed a brief telling the court that because the new law holds that only marriages between a man and a woman are recognized or valid in California, the state can no longer recognize the existing same-sex unions.
"Proposition 8's brevity is matched by its clarity. There are no conditional clauses, exceptions, exemptions or exclusions," reads the brief co-written by Kenneth Starr, dean of Pepperdine University's law school and a former independent counsel who investigated President Bill Clinton.

I don't know if the issues are resolved but both of the songs sung (and apparently written) by Dana are leagues beyond the crap written and sung by Gwydion.

America's overclass DESPERATELY wants to experience the entire feudal lord thing. They want the titles, they want the forelock tugging, they want the Right of the First Night, the whole schmear.
The catch that they haven't figured out with this scenario is that it will result in a Hecate clicking her knitting needles while glowing with Schadenfreude.

The day is coming, and I think before the end of the Obama administration (eight years...) that people will realize the restrictions against gay marriage are as hateful, stupid and futile as those against interracial marriage in the late 1960's.
So long as (a) you're both adults or (b) you're both not adults, this country has no business telling you who you can or can't sleep with, or in my opinion, who an adult can marry.

Apparently when you are elected to be President or VP these days, you must state to the world that you are going to get a dog, and then the media will follow you until you get one. Well, while the Obamas have promised their daughters a dog but are waiting until they are settled in D.C., Joe Biden, VP-Elect, has beat them to it, buying a German Shepherd puppy from a Pennsylvania breeder.
And yes, you guessed it, PETA is mad about the purchase. PETA is also investigating an allegation that the dog came from a puppy mill. See this PETA blog post for a really gross video that they are planning on showing across Delaware. Message: Every time you buy a dog, you kill a shelter dog.

David Derbes,
The strangest effect of this disease is that my preferences for food have changed.
I got sick tonight eating some "Fancy" nuts from one of the best places imaginable for the things. I used to love them. Now, they make me ill.
I used to love bread. No longer. Meat is not something I am enjoying either - in fact I am probably only managing about four ounces a day.
And chocolate tastes odd. And on and on.
But I AM eating enough and this day I had an English Muffin with the strawberry preserves we made and froze last spring: tasted simply marvelous.
(I wonder if there is a market for frozen preserves that are made with just strawberries, sugar, and a pack of gelatin?)
This stuff is about as good as I can imagine.

The stillness of this time with a heavy fall of snow is amazing. The snow, when you do not have to work, is really very beautiful. If I were younger again I would spend tomorrow cross country skiing in the nearby park where they have prepared trails that go on for miles in the deep woods and along the coast of Lake Michigan.
Hoffmaster State Park is about five miles from here and they have about five square miles of wilderness and the lake. They also have the Gillette Nature Center which is worth the trip at any time.

Well, a pet selecting you is a matter of chemistry, personality. Maybe that's why some people become disenchanted with pets chosen on pure style or aesthetic grounds, and give them up to shelters, or worse.

If people went to shelters for their dogs, the entire puppy mill business would run out of customers and go out of business, and dog shelters would not have to euthanize dogs.
People who deliberately choose to add to the dog population by purchasing a dog from a breeder or a puppy mill should be confronted with the consequences of their actions.
Especially because about 1/2 of the puppy mill and breeder dogs end up being abandoned in shelters ... if they live.

Some comments are unworthy of a response.
Even if they're vile, disgusting, and something that would prompt physical action if spoken in person.
But the sub-humans who type such filth do so hidden in their own anonymity - accountable to nobody except their own Mommie Dearest nightmares.

Could we all try meditating together?
Seriously, why couldn't we all just stop typing for 10minutes, and just be still - mentally and emotionally still!
A mass meditation. Just focus on the image of falling snow.
WHY THE FUCK NOT?!

But that is not to say there are no lessons here. Chief among these lessons is that, apparently, Mona Charen thinks about how Hugh Hefner masturbates, and she disapproves. If it were not for the Internet, I would never have known that. And now you know it too! I think that's great. Hooray for the Internet! Hooray! Hooray!

If people went to shelters for their dogs, the entire puppy mill business would run out of customers and go out of business, and dog shelters would not have to euthanize dogs.
And if other people stopped getting dogs and abandoning them, and spayed/neuter their dogs, there would be no need for shelters. So perhaps other folks should modify their behavior and we can maybe not feel compelled to judge somebody for where they got their companions.

I had a rotty/shepperd cross and he died at 14, I still miss him. The dog catcher told me he had a ten month old rotty that needed a loving home, I said no at first, but then I said ok. He dropped it by my friend's the next day, she brought it over and it was a ten WEEK old some kind of insane collie dog. I kept her as the dog catcher knew I would, she's a big suck ass and she is the boss of the entire house.
The other dog is the biggest shepperd I've ever seen, I dunno what he's mixed with but he's HUGE, a friend got him from the dog catcher and his wife wouldn't let him keep him, so I begged and begged and he gave him to me. On a Christmas Eve in fact. He was an abused dog, it took forever for his tail to raise up from between hs legs and for his ears to relax, but now he forgets everything except how much I love him.

I don't think the major issue facing an abandoned dog sitting in a shelter about to be put to death is whether some person somewhere is forced to feel the metaphysical "sting" of being judged on-line for their pet purchase ethics.
I think the poor dog in the shelter would just like someone to come in and bring it home and show it some love.

I agree with the original post. I'm working temp jobs right now because my particular market segment has hit the skids. But my house is paid for, my car is paid for and we have no family debt. I'm working with a lot of people, bright, dependable, hardworking people, who are much more interested in whether they will have a roof over their heads and food on the table than whether there will be Christmas presents under the table.
Bleep Tom Friedman and his ilk.
I heard Keith Olbermann make some sort of snide comment last week, I can't remember in what context, about something only being "about ten thousand dollars" so what was the big deal. For the middle quintile, that's 20-25 ^% of our pay. For 60% of Americans, 10 granbd is more than 20% of our annual pay, and for half of us it's more than a third. For the 20 percent of Americans bewlow the poverty line, it's half their pay. But the MSM thinks it's chump chang worth sneezing at.
