Yes...it's christmas time again (in case you haven't been to starbucks or the mall in the last month or so) and how delightful it is. Apparently GM and Chrysler got their stockings stuffed and Ford has elected to forgo the holiday alms in some awkward corporate attempt to demonstrate it's stoicism. Unfortunately, they need the cash just as bad and will have to appear hat in hand a few months from now so a touch of cogency would have been preferable. Do we really need to go through all this depressing bail-out non-sense again with Ford seperately? I think its safe to say we've had enough Damoclean festivity for now.
Chicago politics seems to be proving just as sordid as the right-wing sycophants had hoped (well, almost), and kids and strippers were able to make snowmen in vegas. The president evaded a podiatric attack and Obama is still in the throes of his opening game. These are exciting times indeed, I think unemployment just hit another 30-year record and last but most certainly not least, some beautiful human being named their son adolf hitler in Jersey, auf wiedersehen.

HOOVERVILLE
After more than a month of quiet reflection in my mobile burrow (aka- cab), it seems time once again to breach the surface. The sun welcomes me back but its cold as shit in vegas and the chill in the air sends a crisp reminder of the coming of Claus. I will not be deterred and take comfort in the fact that my generation can enjoy atleast some measure of responsibility for the installation of this nations first black president. RENEGADE is here at last, unfortunaltely, TUMBLER (seriously!) will leave office having dealt this country a fatal blow.
The curtain has not fallen on The United States, we are standing on it (we may soon need this damn curtain for the roof of our lean-to). I will not belabor the mundane prophetics of doom, its not how I truly feel, I am encouraged and cannot ignore the incredible irony staring us all square in the face. OUR first BLACK president, taking the seat of power at a time of crisis arguably the worst this country has ever faced. This nation WILL be saved by the progeny of the race that received the starkest(to be obscenely kind) embrace of all by these shores.
GET READY.
