just sucks

H-Bomb and I were drinking Jagermeister at the Red Lion last night. The bartender, Mona, threatened to cut me off several times. I woke up not remembering coming home. Fortunately, I live within a mile of the Red Lion. H-Bomb, however, doesn't. He blew a .17 in the breathalizer after making it all the way to within a couple of blocks from his house in Van Nuys. The cop, who I'm sure makes it a routine to sit and wait for likely drunken drivers-- people who've done nothing wrong and hurt nobody-- said that H-Bomb swerved. Now he's gonna have to deal with the grinding realities of judicial morality, AA and all. What a horrible fucking drag.

Dateline: Fox News Is Biased!!

Nice slip, Ass-man. This is a Fox News anchor talking to Trent Lott:

ASMAN: So, Senator, if we should have done it and if we had the votes to do it in the Senate -- if you guys in the Republican Party did -- then why did you need a compromise?

Alive and...

Here's an artist's rendering of the ivory-billed woodpecker, a bird thought extinct since sometime in the early part of the 20th century. Apparently there's compelling evidence that the bird remains extant.



After seeing the ivory-bill fly across their sight path, one of the researchers broke down and started weeping.

A "missing" family of mountain gorillas has also reappeared in Uganda's Mgahinga National Park. They disappeared five months ago sparking Ugandan accusations of Rwandan primate napping.



They had two new additions to the family when they returned.

Here, at my desk at work, I've affixed a picture of my dachshund to the computer. He's on his back and looking directly into the camera-- a perfect image of contentedness. And then there are the D-ster's dainty little hands in the picture, caressing that little boy dog. Those hands and that dog now reside in Williamsburg in Brooklyn.

I'm still in LA. In place of the dachshund, I have Lexapro; in place of those hands, a therapist. I'm not dead yet.
