Today in New York, it is a declared gridlock alert day. Next Wednesday will also have such an alert. This means that cars will go crazy in the streets and pedestrians will zig zag wildly about the sidewalks. This past weekend, there was also a Leonid meteor shower. […]
Teeth dripping blood from the finger stumps Tongue salty from the anger-shed tears that have clumped Be gone you mythical beast of compassion And show your true moral compass and self-passion That lies strewn about the restaurant gutter Take your falsehoods and buy some twenty-percent friends They […]
Tell me, which week doesn’t have a ton of wacky people doing silly things and even harmful things. I won’t even touch the latest school shooting. The media has noted the fact that one of the two who died (a teacher at the school) was a former soldier […]
