MADNESS

Patriotism is as fierce as a fever,
pitiless as the grave,blind as a stone,
and irrational as a headless man.
--Ambrose Bierce

aloha,
yes G MAN i am also weaning myself off KEITH O. & RACHEL M. i look around at the DECLINE OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE and it's like watching a slo mo car crash where your loved ones are involved. i feel both helpless and totally exhausted.O BOMBER alone can't solve this irrevocably broken government..sigh& cry.
making flippant fun of the dry rot in the system does not seem like enough, even here in "PARADISE" the local pols accept the death of many as the cost of doing business & systemic budget cuts. we are indeed worth-less than others...

one of the best performances Kevin Spacey has ever done, which is high priase indeed.not your typical mental health movie...it is quietly wonderful.

GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
speaking of atypical.on Charlie Rose the director was joking that people should see the Original before the american remake, why would he say that?

all thru the movie i kept thinking what would be deleted,edited out or blunted for the american market HUGE HUGE SIGH. this is a stunning & fierce movie and the female star NOOMI RAPACE is magnetic.this is a movie to savor, full of unexpected depths and treasures. please get the DVD if it is not playing in your market, okay? BTW ROGER EBERT has hinted the main character has ASPERGERS, which i saw esp. when she turns off the car radio without asking, a favorite of my son who did not fully understand the concept of rudeness.

it's SOUL MATE'S turn to have her back go out so we are awaiting the chiropractors call...

    Plan to Install Fake Parking Meters to Help Homeless Actually Tricky Scheme to Establish 14 Foot Stay Away Zones – Stores Pay $500 for the Extra Protection

    The plan purports to offer a revenue source to help the homeless. In fact, it is a scheme to caste aside people central casting consider extras in this drama we call a community. (© Herman I. Kalfen - April 18, 2010)
    Pacific Avenue, the “mall” as it is known to the locals, appears to be straight out of Hollywood’s central casting, with wide tree lined sidewalks and shiny busy stores. Cars (usually) stop for the throngs of shoppers cascading into crosswalks, clutching ice creams cones and bags of loot piled onto credit cards.
