I just saw in the SacBee (ain’t that a wunnerful name for a wunnerful w’atchamacallit kind’a used t’ be newspaper) heralding the fact that former Guv Pete Wilson is going to be paid $400 an hour (way less’n normal for him and peeps like him) to negotiate a new ARENA. It should be painfully, obviously clear to all the movers and shakers that the citizenry of Sactown don't want to pay for an expensive boondoggle that benefits only the MALOOF'S, OVERPAID ATH-LEETS, and all the insiders who hope to exact some sort of profit from the backs of the ordinary people. At least in ancient Roma, the bread and circus's were paid for by those hoping to keep the populace from rising up and tearing everything down. Our guys today seem much more clever. They want us to pay for our own demise.
There should be a law about putting former pols out to pasture and making darn sure they stay there. There are a few execrable examples (choose y’r own) that should have been simply put down the way society does every day with unwanted pets.
ANOTHER THO’T........
Sactown now has this almost brand new ath-a-lete named Justin Williams who seems to envision himself as much larger than he has yet to become and who evidently feels it just must be his right to pick up a star-struck idiot, take her home with his g’friend, give her a taste of GHB and after she is sufficiently woozy, he and g’friend rape her. Or attempt to rape her. Guilty or innocent? Doesn’t really matter, does it? Talk about terminal stupidity ending a career before it really begins.
BOB LYONS died this week. He was an old friend, 73 years old, given to random acts of violence and joyous abandon in his youth. He was a burly guy in black leather and boots. It was said that once he rode in an open convertible in a Lincoln Day Parade in Detroit, unfurled a large Confederate battle flag and had to flee the city. Could’a happened. Bob was fun and he had fun. Don’t know what life was like for him as he grew old but I imagine he enjoyed the hell out of it.
On the home front, I'm a third of the way thru Chemo....the 2nd time went a little easier. Or seems so at the moment. My friend, Mollie Burke Phillips is in hospital in Lexington......here's hoping for a miracle......Love to her and her family.....David
