Once upon a wasted time (circa late 1970's and early 80's) I hung on New York City's downtown art/music scene. The scene never fit me, I tried to fit it. Which was one of the stupidest things I've ever done. My only excuse is that I was caught in a spiritual downdraft. Couldn't see how deeply the Punk New Wave No Wave Ironic Transgressive thing wasn't me. Its gods weren't mine.
Ho humdrum. It's back to political bidness in the Empire State. The gubernatorial race ended just as predicted. Andrew Cuomo finally got elected to something. (Becoming attorney general on Eliot Spitzer's coat tails doesn't count.) Not that beating Carl Paladino is proof of public appeal.
Robin ran with the radical left Weathermen in the late 1960's and early '70s. He spent several years in Attica prison for trying to bomb a New York City bank. By this millennium he was sort-of right wing. Why "sort-of"?
As Summer rolls out its hazy crazy days, pimp hands are blooming all over. From White House plots to the gardens of assorted local governments and/or crime scenes.
Gardner Goldsmith looks back at history, in an attempt to answer the question: Is government-enforced copyright and patent "protection" reconcilable with a free society?
Hot damn. The government is going to stimulate the economy. Not with a lap dance or lubricated love glove, but with taxpayer dollars. Come summer, Mister and Miz America will get a rebate from Uncle Sam. What a man! Some people will get more than a thou of their own money back. Consumers will rush out and pump the economy. Wal-Mart here we come. Simultaneously, just like in romance novels.
I'm spending the week at the Porcupine Freedom Festival in Gilford, New Hampshire, this week, and so there likely won't be any posts for this week.
For all of those of you who are younger than I am, you're probably on Myspace, that huge social networking site which has a profile for almost everyone in the country under 30. Now you can get Homeland Stupidity on Myspace.
Homeland Stupidity passed another milestone last night, with the 10,000th comment left to the site.
It's been three days since I have been able to post anything to Homeland Stupidity. Fortunately, this isn't because I got shipped off to Guantanamo. There's been plenty of news, though, so I wanted to explain what has been going on behind the scenes.
