Bourgeoisie is not in my vocabulary so much as Bohemian. I'm a lone wolf and I'm not part of any herd. Fences are for cattle....you want to control them better, give them a bigger fence. <br />My poor little sister is just a little thin skinned, that's all....harmless enough. She works for the State Department in the American Embasy in Guatemala. probably my next vacation spot...Mayan ruins and such with my Nikon.<br />Back to the decency aspect....the gloves are coming off soon and very soon....elections in 2010.

You've joined the Bourgeoisie, God love ya. Like I've said before, I wish we had these heated conversations when I brought my guitars in and chewed the fat with you. Then again, I would have had to find another luthier and good ones are hard to come by, even in LA. <br /><br />Truth be told, I don't watch a lot of TV-- usually Olbermann, old B&W movies on Turner Classics and a music documentary or two on Ovation. As for the radio-- only when I'm in the car, especially now since my first generation iPod died.<br /><br />Be easy on your sister-- not because she's a big Democrat, but because you don't like the Messiah. Me? I'm still waiting...barryshaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868936736166788932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654416415809886208.post-59950292521103503062009-08-27T16:28:40.708-07:002009-08-27T16:28:40.708-07:00"Clown without pity"
It's not about..."Clown without pity"<br /><br />It's not about being white at all. It's about the fed...the bloated, insatiable, reckless, irritating fed. Being a registered Libertarian for 22 years hasn't gotten my vote to count at all but i still do. Look, my people fought the fucking fed and we lost....everybody lost So now we have this huge pig gobbling up everything and pissing people off....really pissed. Bush attacked the wrong country...dumb ass. obama's an idiot with a degree in sabotage. There's plenty of pissed off to go around. My little sister gets so pissed at me because I don't like the messiah!! She's a huge demoncrat...really, 250 lbs!!<br /><br />Now, I'm too wealthy to care anymore...let 'em eat cake. I watch from my seat in the stands, vote Libertarian, and work on guitars. I take pictures for fun and screw my girlfriend. I drive a nice German sports car and play a 335. I might even get the band back together. I enjoy playing devil's advocate with you, but i'm too happy to be pissed about anything. I make people happy here and I'm like a kid again. When i hear about Rush or Savage or Oberman or any talking head selling a book, I don't take sides. ...they're all clowns and that means your guy too...whoever that is.<br /><br />You must watch a lot of tv/radio.....i don't.....everybody's pissed..... and they're losing their cool. Oil, mexicans, war, taxes,credit bubbles, on and on....looks like Belushi over there smashing guitars....pissed.Davaudianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144819322562403838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654416415809886208.post-35661057955045140012009-08-27T13:49:35.912-07:002009-08-27T13:49:35.912-07:00I get it.

And no, not even civility... again, from Zimmerman: Dignity. When did it get that the blue team and the red team became such despised enemies? It scares me more than a little bit. It's like that crocodile-teared woman who stood up at a town-hall meeting and pleaded for America to return. I agree with the sentiment but not the specifics. America hasn't been white since the first slave ship pulled up in New Orleans. America has never been so ugly and void of common respect for one another and-- yes, dignity-- in a long, long time. I just threw a quarter in the mental juke and hit play for an old Gene Pitney song-- but in this case, it's more than a town... it's a country without pity. Methinks it might be time for another installment of Jukebox Jury...barryshaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868936736166788932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654416415809886208.post-63468255901327519242009-08-27T08:14:34.201-07:002009-08-27T08:14:34.201-07:00What did you expect....civility among enemies. It&...What did you expect....civility among enemies. It's not over by a long shot. I kinda like my seat in the bleachers, front row just right of center. I get a good view and don't have any money on this game. It's all in BofA stock and others...doing quite nicely. I'm not part of the herd mentality so I'll need you to help keep score.Davaudianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144819322562403838noreply@blogger.com
