Here First

I'm going to start posting the weekly recaps of Dream Sailors here first, since I know when they hit the web before everyone else.

a friend of mines son died a couple of days ago. i don't know what to say or do. i remember his birth. his smile. his first words. the pride his father had when he looked at him. the love he had in his eyes when he looked at his father. all i know is how awful i feel, and i have no children. i can't imagine the pain and loss - it's too much for such a great friend to have to bare. i wish that i could take it away from him, be able to carry it for a while. why can't pain be portable? there is nothing for me to do, but keep him and his family in my thoughts, and be ready if they need me for anything. it's so fucking sad.

OK

So this is what I look like at 3:30am after:

1) Arising at 7:30am on a Saturday.
2) Covering my self in a pound of latex.
3) Speaking in three languages.
4) Changing costumes 6 times.
5) Sweating through a ankle length leather jacket.
6) Driving from Georgetown to Source in 15 minutes.
7) Removing a pound of latex.
8) Being pregnant for an hour.
9) Drinking downtown.
10) Drinking in Silver Spring.
11) Fighting off my "friends" attempts to hook me up with a waitress.

Now guess what I did the next day...

400 million reasons to elect Obama

Normally I'm not interested in the day to day doings of one drug addled, over weight, bald, gas bag Rush Limbaugh. I mean who really pays attention to a racist gas bag with a oxiconton problem. I thought that guy was deaf, right? It seemed like such a fitting ailment for a man who loves nothing better than the sound of his own voice. But like Magic Johnson's seeming trouncing of the AIDS virus, Limbaugh apparently can hear again, but that is not my point.

SOME ASSHOLE JUST GAVE THIS FUCK-FACE 400 MILLION DOLLARS!?!?!?!?!?!

For what? Does he play power forward for the Boston Celtics and I didn't know about it? 400 million dollars to continue to ride the wave of the 21st Century equivalent of the 8 track cassette player? Radio is not exactly cutting edge technology, nor does it have the reach it did when, oh say, FDR did his fire side chats.

You know what you could do with $400 million dollars? Provide food and potable water to the...wait for it...WORLD. Instead some dip shit is going to provide drugs, cigars, and scotch to one fat dumb ass.

Now Limbaugh reported this deal himself, so it could be like the other "news" he delivers - a crock of shit. But if the deal is even in the ball park, it is a sad day for this country. With all the problems we as a country face, someone has decided to hand a "part of the problem" so much money he can continue to be "part of the problem" even after his death.

On the bright side, given his past behavior, I'm betting he gets busted by the IRS within the next two years. Tax evasion, just like another big, fat, windbag, criminal; Capone.

I am Jack's Throbbing Disappointmant

Gomez is back in the states, for one week. Next week. Not here. But they are in Atlanta home of The Hairy Ape's brother. The throbbing disappointment is The Hairy Ape has two, count 'em 2, techs next week and will be unable to reach the musical ambrosia that is The Gomez. As one of my cast mates might say, sad panda.
