The 1st amendment is not something to mess around with. If we lose it by excess chipping away from city, state or federal governments we are lost.Americans have the right to stand up to our government and speak out. Lately our various elected officials seem to grow tired of citizens speech. This is the most recent example. It won't be the last.For the record, he was allowed to come back into the chamber and make his full point.There seems to be some question if he is a priest. I'm not sure I understand but at some point he was a Catholic priest....

There was a time when 999 was the highest amount of posts you could upload on Blogger. I wasn't too worried about it because I didn't think I'd reach 999 posts. I don't think about things like that because they intimidate me.Here I am. Number 1,000 according to my post log. Dang! I feel good about it.I wrote long before there was blogging. Use to do an e-mail news letter. Had a old school user page that required HTML. I never warmed up to Dreamweaver but I gave it a go because I had much to say and thought my voice was as valid as some of the others...
I have watched and listened as privileged white men tried to help the nation understand the problems and worth of poor black kids. If I am understanding correctly, which is impossible because I use to be a poor black kid, I am incapable of going to work, thinking long term and handling my responsibilities as an adult.It seems I am unable of understanding my current and future situation in life. I did not know that I require intervention to help me move past my impoverished blackness of being. The fact that I had to use technology just to find out...

If you happen to be in the Venice or Santa Monica areas around 7:30 p.m. you might want to stop by Beyond Baroque for a Celebration by the students of Anais Nin. If your fingers haven't flipped through Delta of Venus you have got a bit of catching up to do. If you feel a bit of frost bite in the heart or other regions of the body you really should plunk down money for her books. That is the heathen side of me, paying more attention to the erotic work instead of her other works.This is Nancy Shiffrin reading a work that you could say was inspired...

I am coming up on my 1,000 post. I tend to think that I haven't don't anything a thousand times. Nonsense, we all have. We just don't think of them. Anyway, I needed an old movie fix. You rarely can go wrong with a Leslie Howard movie.YouTube Link for The Animal KingdomActually it was Ann Harding. I had seen another movie in which she scopes out a playboy with potential and decides to plot to marry him. It was a lesson on entrepreneurship in the...

I have the heat on. And my coat. If I could find one of my hats it would be on my head too. It is not unusual to have a chill in the morning. This ain't a chill, this is straight up cold. I feel like it is back east weather.I personally like waking up to temperatures in the 60 degree range. This ish feels like lower 30s or something.I'm having to put clothes on the heater to warm them before I'll put them on. That is old school east coast living skills.Dear Canada. I have great respect for your country. I even watch some of your TV shows like Being...

It wasn't the Santa Ana Wind. It has been accused of downing multiple trees in the area. It is innocent. The hit job blast came from Canada and the other wind pattern location hasn't been identified as yet.It is still blowing outside but not at the intensity of last week. There are fire warnings being issued by NOAA and other weather services. Things are looking kinda normal for now. Pasadena is still cleaning up. There are trees down on a...
