I gotta hand it to this site- Wonkette sure knows how to write a headline. I read this EVERYDAY, almost all day- it is exhausting and exhaustive...
Anyway! The week in review!!- randomly, since I was nursing the dreaded Montreal Death Flu coupled with a bout of "I can not leave my apartment because the weather will smite me."
It is Sunday morning as I write this- I have had no additives(and only 2 beers!) since last Saturday afternoon and yet I am wide awake with only 4 hours sleep since waking up Friday... I am listening to Benny Benassi after having relieved RE-SFACTION from HEAVY rotation four months ago because I was going to get evicted for playing it so much. I'm totally falling for it again and I am JUMPING BACK AND FORTH in my room with the head phones on...
Who's spinning at Stereo right now??? Why aren't I there??
I was biologically pre-destined to go dancing, it seems. Or for late night/early morning blogging; whichever is kinkier...
But I should sleep- I have a breakfast meeting with my promoting partner as we are putting the finishing touches on a Tsunami Relief benefit at Juice Night club on St. Laurent. It's going down on Jan 27th--DJ's are still a secret- but I'll post the "fly-ah" as soon as I get it :-)
And then I am going skating- which I have not done since I was a whelp. Back in the Trudeau years---yes, that's a looooong time ago. Why am I going? Because a cute girl asked me to! And it seemed like the perfect follow up date- a dash of embarrassment, a bad skater, cold weather followed by mulled wine- almost Rockwellian...
-except I think I'll be the one with the bruised ass!
Too much TV- during my convalescence I seem to have taken 200+ screen captures of various TV shows I was surfing. I have no idea what now to do with this vast array of bizarre images except embarrass myself and my contacts at flickr by uploading them in lieu of me actually developing any of the film I've shot in the past 3 years... If any of my readers wanted to donate a Pro upgrade to my cause there are instructions on the site :)
Too much CNN- is Lou Dobbs the densest person in the world? Does he not get ANYTHING? There were two US Supreme Court rulings this week, one about judges following federal Guidelines for sentencing, the other didn't get much media play as it came out the same day.
They ruled that the US can not keep immigrants in prison ad infinitum after their sentences have been served if (for various reasons) they can not deport them to their country of origin.
Standard US policy now is that non-landed immigrants who have been convicted of a felony serve their sentence and are summarily deported. This doesn't work so well with countries like Cuba, so they have just been keeping them in prison, long after their sentence has been served!
And Lou Dobbs- he is flummoxed-"Now what are we going to do?"(unspoken--on lips "...with these people")- Hey, Lou... How about giving these people a kick at the freedom can? I know they screwed it up LAST TIME you offered them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness- but if your prisons can't turn a decent Cuban refugee into someone you can fucking golf with, why are you so hot to send these broken shells of humanity back to their poverty stricken homelands? Didn't they serve their sentence, Lou, thus repaying their "debt to society"- ie: your society?
Jeesh, Lou, stop taking your wife's medication and start having an opinion once in a while! You're on FREAKING CNN, Lou!! You have the ball and the only person left downfield is the place kicker- give him a straight arm and get the 6 points. Form a complete moral idea that isn't based on who's an American and who isn't- that shit is old and once this war hangover wears off people are gonna start calling all of you on it again, and it ain't gonna be pretty.
