At the TV square
Hiding in the deep end
Weeding out the weekends”

The facial detail is intense.

Cousin Pete original.

Originally posted on The Daily Siege 1/3/2007:

“He taught me how to properly hug a girl. At first I thought the lesson was going to be about her, her needs, how she should feel. But no, he mainly focused on how to press her close enough to you to feel her boobs pressed against your chest, without her suspecting it.

He keeps deadly pets. He has a pit bull and a rottweiler, but his main source of joy is his collection of giant boa constrictors. When I took Katie (poor Katie!) to meet him, and she got stoned with him and my mom and his family, he insisted on showing her the snakes being fed live rats. This is not a good thing to see for the first time when you’re stoned off your ass, surrounded by rednecks, in a ramshackle trailer in the backwoods of Mississippi, but Katie survived, and I’d like to believe she’s a better person for it, if perhaps scarred a little.

There are many other stories about Pete, many happy, more sad. But this is enough right here, right now.”

The fight started Saturday night after a reception when he knocked her to the floor with a karate kick in the seventh-floor hallway of a Holiday Inn, according to police. It escalated when she attacked two guests from another wedding party who came to her aid, police said.

So here's a question for you ...

Interesting problem, but it might be the price of a full public life (which is what this web 2.0 blitz engenders).

What would I do? There is an email for tips - flood the channel with misinformation.

juliaallison:

I have a dilemma.

A woman has taken to obsessively writing about me (and my girl friends) on a certain blog. This woman checks my tumblr, my flickr, my vimeo, my twitter, the postings about me on gawker & valleywag, as well as all of the things my girl friends post, and spends a good portion of her time (time which could otherwise be spent engaged in fun and useful activities, such as tennis, horseback riding or archery!) penning long, bitchy, link-ridden items “analyzing” my life.

She’s not a bad writer - in fact, she’s quite good. And I actually don’t mind people harmlessly poking fun at me. But she crosses the line when she publishes crap rumors in the guise of “blind” items and completely misrepresents situations where she really doesn’t have all the facts. More than anything, there’s a raw vitriolic hatred to her writing that - yes - really bothers me. Scares me, even.

But worse than all that is her consistent refusal to write under her own name, and to take responsibility for what she’s written.

I have never met her. She doesn’t know me or any of my friends. But I know who she is.

I’ve known for quite some time now, and I was hoping general decency would - at some point - take over. Um … not so much. I’ve asked her politely to stop. She hasn’t.

Most likely I shouldn’t care. I go through periods where I don’t. But ultimately, I come back to this: people should be accountable for what they write. I’m tired of it.

Should I reveal her?

What do you think?

PS. She tried to be my “friend” on Facebook. That’s just creepy.

“Two events have helped to stoke this fire: the Iraq War and the mortgage crisis. With Iraq, many people saw for the first time that “me-tooism” and triangulation extended even to supporting one of the most misguided and immoral foreign policy mistakes in American history. With the mortgage crisis they have begun to see how the DLC’s support for measures such as the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act has brought us not economic prosperity but to the edge of a potential Depression.”

artist anger pope parents

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:37:26 -0400

me: if i look down on our celebrity culture, does that make me a hypocrite for wanting large scale validation of my talents?
Nick: yes
but thats ok
you are an artist, you are a tangled mass of mystery
me: i feel more like a tangle of anger and high fructose corn syrup
Nick: well that too
thats the recipe for an artist
1 part corn syrup
800 parts anger
3 parts genius
1 part crippling insecurities
.5 parts astronaut
me: could i substitute raging inferiority for the crippling insecurities?
me: perhaps i should go stand on a street in NYC for a week so i can get a passing glimpse of a german man wearing a funny hat in a plastic bubble. that will fix everything.
Nick: it couldnt hurt
I sometimes think of that duo I saw in LA
a midget with a cape on roller skates, pushing a clown in a wheelchair
me: you’ve seen my parents? it’s been so long…
Nick: a handsome couple

““I find it exceedingly strange that a group of conservative and libertarian-oriented think tanks — groups that argue for less government — have embraced highways and roads as a solution to traffic congestion and a general boon to living. In the same breath, they usually attack mass-transit spending, particularly on trains. They seem to see a highway as an expression of the free market and of American individualism, and a rail line as an example of government meddling and creeping socialism.””

- Governing: The Hypocrisy of Libertarians Who Love Highways (via kenyatta)

Very well said. They favor less govt unless a particular pork barrel is kept full enough for them to gorge on. Highways are quite profitable. Conservatives and libertarians oppose govt expenditures on people. Things that can be built or bought or sold or processed have to make money for someone, and it’s usually them.
