Today's NYTimes was shimmering with tips from the cosmos....well, little bits of demented diamonds falling from the heavenly web edition. Katherine Q. Seeley article ( are you ready for this title) "God, Firearms and America come Together at a Church in Kentucky." The article does nothing to dispel one's horror at the title of this piece. This story comes from Louisville where indoor plumbing has been a tradition for generation.
One quote from the good pastor, Ken Pagano (Jersey transplant) "But for a deep seated belief in God and firearms, this country would not be here today." This article is not a screen play for a Michael Moore movie or Borat II. This is as unreal as reality can get. A must read for those of you who are thinking of retiring to a gentler southern clime.
Breathless, I staggered to "the City Room" and ran into Dominick Tao's piece on a spat between the NYPD and " the banking community." It appears that bank heists are up for 2008 over the previous year by 57%. This surge in bank robbing entreprenurialism has alarmed the NYPD; they in turn have suggested to the banks and the City Council that more bulletproof glass would be a good idea. The bankers have a more Diggers like approach to the issue. They don't think it's a good idea to frustrate the bad guys, who may take out their frustrations upon the bank staff and customers....precisely the reason why I carry 250K in small denominated bills when I go to B of A. I'm with the bank guys. Let them get the cash and get out, so that the NYPD may have the fun of chasing them. I am with the banks on this one. The real bank robberies have already happened in the financial bail outs; these amateurs who get maybe 11-12 grand a heist are just pests compared to Bernie and the Wall Street "Banksters" crowd...
Finally, I was lifted into the stratosphere by the Blog ktB (Kill the Budda). The post by Jeff Sharlet entitled, " Michael Jackson, Mark Sanford,& the Synagogue of Satan" left me tingling with joy at the shear lunatic brilliance of the piece and its creator...we are not worthy.
love and piece,
